This is why Yeezy is awesome.

I lost something very important today which really ruined my cool Sunday. Pahabol to make my night a little bit better by Kanye. I'm in kpop mode but Kanye brings me back to western territory, guys. Only Yeezy can do that. Haha, jk.

Wicker Park Vibes, Anyone?

Her song is pretty awesome. Something to chill for the night. If you're feeling a little bit emo, this one's kind of perfect for you.

K-everything.

I've been sick for the past 3 days and I've been sleeping all day long. It seems like it's never enough. Anyways, when I get tired of sleeping I turn on the tv. I was watching Channel M because lelz, I am into kpop these days and it's all because of my friend, Rosa. (Hi Rosa).

M! Countdown was on and I heard them play: 

They were pretty awesome, I wasn't sure if they were playing live but their song was so good I knew I had to google them later on when I got better. Now that I'm feeling good, I downloaded their album. Super good music. I mean kpop is good and all that electric stuff and concept outfits and all but the K-indies are surprisingly good as well. 

Fig. 1:

Heard this from a K.drama I'm currently watching right now (which is surprisingly funny). You should check out an episode or two. It's actually a good series that's good for killing time. It's a lighthearted romantic comedy about a dating agency that uses certain scenarios to make the target fall in love with the Agency's client without them knowing that it was all part of the plan/script.

Fig. 2:

Also taken from that said drama (since I'm still such a noob at anything Korean anyways), here's a song from an artist called RA.D. I had to hunt this song down only to fail. Luckily, an awesome friend who also loves kpop saw my twitter feed and she sent me a link for the song! 

hehehehe, I'm so into kpop that I've delved into K-indie. Lelz. 

Anyways, this just made me realize that music can cross boundaries even without understanding it. Music can move you even if you don't understand what it's saying because in the end, what matters is that you can feel it.

I've got sunshiiinneee~~

INSAAANEEELYYYY GOOD COVER. I "discovered" him last night and instantly downloaded his album. Superrr good voice and really underrated. I really suggest you get his album ASAP, he sounds like John Mayer, no?

Here's one of his own songs which is really good too!

And the days drag on...

Jesus Christ, I just want this to end. 

Almost there. I just have to hang on a little longer. 

Fight! Yeahh....

In the meantime, here's some music to get us through the day:

and Haim's cover of The Strokes' "I'll Try Anything Once"

ughhhhh...adgknadkjgasdl

 

Morning Slump

Nope. No win. Hahaha. Oh well.

Gotta drag myself to school now. 

Here's a morning music for you guys while you take in your morning routine: 

Popfest 2012

 I went to Dope MNL X Popfest last night and it was a cool chill vibe. I GOT TO SEE BEE EYES! :D

 

Julius V.

They were awesome, I was on my way to the venue of the concert and I could hear them playing and I got all excited in my tummyyy :))

Idris V.

Ooooooh, he reminds me of The Horrors.

Diego A.

 Ralph M.

(Did I get their names right tho? I'm not quite sure) =))

 

Of course  he had to wear that Joy Division shirt :O *amazed*

Julius V. He was funny trying to kill time for the next band to replace 'em :))

He said they were giving away free Bee Eyes CD but I was too shy to go near them (na-starstruck ako) =)) UGHHH, regreeet.

Oh, here are the peeps I went with to the fest. They're some cool friends I've got. Wait, I just met Kim last night btw (girl on the left side) and she's cool to hang with =)) Kumiko, the lady on the right, is just as cool too. SHE GAVE ME AN OST OF AVENUE Q which I find hilarious and now I want to go and see them live.

And below is Kim and Trixie using my camera :))

 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. That's me and my DERP FACE. 

Here's a video that Kumiko took for Sunday Girl which is my FAVE from the band! Wooooo! Check it guys, super worth it. I'm super glad Kumiko had fun because it's been awhile since we haven't seen each other and I spontaneously invited her to the event. I was worried she might not like the music on the Popfest line but the first band that she saw (Bee Eyes) she loved. WOOO!

Then Ciudad:

His bass is COOL

 I like his guitar.

 Then, of course, a crowd favorite was Ang Bandang Shirley:

He reminds me of Chaz as in Toro Y Moi Chaz :)))

 

Oh, hey, I like corners and shadows :))

My friends Trixie and Kim were MIA but it turned out that they were just looking for something to eat. I saw them in Clawdaddy's so we ate there and got to know more. REVELATIONS HAPPENED (wink at Trixie) =))

Ooooohh, pretty lights~

 

Bathroom break! I had to pee. Everyone did. :))

 I like odd things and by odd, I mean the things that people think are normal. I've got the Eggleston-bug!

  

I love his guitaaarrr! I didn't get to catch their band name since we arrived at their last song after the dinner that we had at Clawdaddy's.

 

But the drummer was cool and he went WILD.

I was taking some photos and when I lowered the camera from my face someone jumped (or tapped) at me and nagulat ako :)) It was a schoolmate of mine from high school and it was just Maronne =)) As in that's her in the photo. Sorry, I liked the "framing and composition" and shit so I took a photo of it.(HELLO MARONNE, If you see this Hi and if you want me to remove the photo ok lang :)) )

Then PEDICAB played! 

Bitin siya actually, I wish they played more songs haha but oh well...

After Pedicab, the dj set of Gian Romano was the only one I was able to listen to coz I had to go home na. I would just like to say that his playlist was amazing. One song after another and he played Wolf Gang! ACE. 

And sooooo, that ends my Saturday night fun with my friends, I will leave you now with Georgina Wilson's face. 

My friend Trixie took this photo. Na-starstruck siya eh :))

Ooops, NAT. 

Here's my Derp/Singing face to Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" during Gian Romano's set =))

Kay. BYE. :))

 PS. I would also just like to add that it's fun to talk/shout out loud in High Street when no one is around and the place is quiet. You guys should try it some time!

What'sa Cookin' ?

HOLA FOLKS! 

I haven't been here in ages, gladly I am still alive and safe...funny thing is, when I stopped "blogging" the traffic in my blog increased =)) It's pretty weird and ironic that that happened but now that I'm back (typing again) I can't wait to see what happens. 

A lot has happened, school happened and then some Warpaint and a little bit of Manila Music Festival here and uhhmmm...yeah. I like to pretend people care about the things that happen in my life so here goes nothin' ! :D

A total recap into what has happened in my life:

Warpaint happened all summer so that was pretty cool. If you don't know who Warpaint is, here I'll show ya...

That's my first fave song from them, in the end though, I kind of ended up liking almost all of their songs in their albums. YES, their first EP called Warpaint and their album called The Fool. Both are definitely worth the download. Although their albums are awesome, they are more of a "live" band, so I suggest you sit your ass down and open youtube and check out all of their live performances (coz yeah, that's what I did the whole summer). Not only that, the girls are all freakin' hilarious in their interviews and I'll show you one of their cool interviews:

Might I also give a little trivia? The bassist has an ace Rickenbacker and her name is Jenny Lee Lindberg. She has a sister named Shannyn Sossamon. Familiar? Ever seen the movie called 'A Knight's Tale'? Yep. :> ALSO, the chick with the red guitar is Theresa Wayman and if you'll recall a movie named 'The Rules of Attraction', she's the chick there who kills herself! Shannyn Sossamon was there as well. Shannyn was also a previous drummer of Warpaint but left because she wanted to focus on acting. Don't worry, an epic drummer replaced her and her name is Stella Mozgawa!

So yeah.  On to the next happening!

The Last of the Dreamers

This is for the last of the dreamers.

FUCKING GOOD POETRY.

Look what I found!

Coldplay doing Rihanna's We Found Love!

We Found Love

I first checked this cover out and loved the lyrics instantly. I then decided to check the original version and loved it too.

Here's the original version:



The girl narrating at the start is Agyness Deyn! I knew that accent was hers (FAN LANG TALAGA AKO OK?) =)) Also, the guy with the blonde hair looks like Matty from Skins. I'm not sure tho but I swear I've seen him before. Or maybe it's just me. I love how they didn't hold back in the "visuals" of the video it really meshed well with the song too.
Might I also add that Rihanna is getting good at these songs that she's releasing, I'm surprised really coz I'm not much of a fan but now I'm considering of downloading her album. I still have to think about that but in the meantime, you guys just continue on singing with the song :))

Oh, and I love them both but I like listening to the slow version moaarrr. :))

Simulaneously

MEN.

I Need A Dollar

I play this song (the mixtape version) every morning when I shower. It's my hustling song to get me through the day :)).

We Are Young

Fun ft. Janelle Monae

"Let's set the world on fire, we can burn brighter than the sun."

Florence, The Weekend, and Uncle Karl.

We all know that Karl Lagerfeld's new muse is Florence and The Machine, that said she performed during the SS 2012 for him. Then they released the limited edition vinyls that contains the song called Shake It Out which is really GOOD but that's not all though, she also collaborated with The Weekend for the remix version of it! The vinyl contains those two songs only but is priced like a full album. Insane right?

Don't fret though because youtube and the awesome uploaders are here to the rescue! Down here is the remix version of Shake It Out and the original version below. I actually prefer the original, I LOVE The Weekend but I just reallly like the original more. Which one do you prefer?

Chamberlin

They have this Cabin Covers EP and in every cover they are completely nailing it!

I've yet to see their originals but I'm completely loving the vibe in their covers.

I suggest you check their other covers coz it's PRETTY GOOOOOD.

Little Secrets

VERY GOOD cover of Little Secrets! Definitely worth the time to let it load :)

My Boy Builds Coffins

Shet na malupet! Ang ganda niyaaaa. She's soo gorgeous and her accent is pamatay. =))
I love her long talk at the beginning and I love how she introduces her band. Deadz.

Absynthe Minded

I wore this to school yesterday (Thursday) and I like the little cape thing going on at the back :)). Yesterday was pretty laid back...and so is today. Actually, there was a little somethin' somethin' that went down today but now I look back and it's as chilly as the Alaskan breeze (I have no idea what I'm talkin' bout).

Summersault cut-out shirt, Random white tee in my bro's closet, Nike shoes.

Mum's shirt, Multiple cross necklace from Folded and Hung, Barbed wire bracelet from F&H, Happy Socks, and Wooden glasses from HK that was gifted to me by my brother :D

The "crazy" thing that went down today was 2Danim2 where I died finishing my animation layouts on the animation paper. I was down to my last scene when I ran out of paper. Talk about luck when that happened 8-|. Super bad trip when that happened, good thing the prof was really nice and he said we could finish it next week as long as we submit something today for the midterms. Sweet!


My yaya went inside while I was doing my photo op...what is awkward/nakakahiya?! =)))

PS. If you're wondering where I got the title, it's the name of a band. Pretty cool, no?
They're Belgians and you should check out their hit song called 'Envoi' ( I like saying that) down here:

Iron

The song is pretty cool and what makes it cool-er is that Agyness Deyn is in the video!
ALSOOO, based on the comments, this song was featured in Assassin's Creed's cinematic trailer. Checked it out and it was pretty cool too.
