Photo Challenge Day 22!

Today's challenge is easy. If there is something I couldn't leave without when I go out, that would be...

Like all the time, wherever I go, whatever I do, I always bring this (That's my current device, by the way, Lenovo A706). I love walking with music banging my ears. And it's something not only me loves. I always see people with their headsets on listening to latest tracks... or not. That's just me. Especially when I'm walking alone, I just couldn't bear walking without music in my ears. Maybe I just don't wanna hear the noise of everything around me. The people's shouts, the vehicles' noises, the hustle and bustle of life! I don't dig that. And I escape all of it by shutting myself with music. Cool. In fact, while doing this blog, I have my headset on listening to David Guetta's Just One Last Time. See? Music is my life. Though music doesn't favor me much! But who cares?

That's Day 22. Kindly answer the survey on the upper right side of this blog. Arigato minna-san :D

Photo Challenge Day 19!

When it comes to things I love doing, that would be crazily numerous. I can even make a book out of it. So this challenge is, again, broad. That's why being alone is not an issue to me. When you're alone, it doesn't mean you're lonely. I've heard it somewhere. But it's true. It definitely applies to me. It just means that you could do a lot of happy things even when you're just by yourself. And that's one of the signs of security. That's not safety, that's the opposite of insecurity. You know, just try to understand. I can't explain it really.

So I'll just enumerate some of the things I love doing... with or without someone...

Who wouldn't love watching movies? It's a two-way ticket to things unrealistic, right? It takes you away for an hour or two from the hassles of the real world. And most of the times, it entertains you. And, admit it, you just don't wanna feel behind when your friends are talking about it and you just can't relate.

I'm 23 and I'm still into this thing. I'm a kid at heart. And let's face it, 80% of the video games released are for adults anyway. 

I'm a bookworm. I read a lot. Fiction most of the times. Like Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Mortal Instruments, The 39 Clues, Sydney Sheldon, The Hunger Games and many more.

Once upon a time, I had a crazy dream to be a singer. But when I heard myself sing, it was really crazy. But that didn't stop me from loving music. It's just music doesn't love me back. I'm heart-broken.

Don't fool yourself, you love eating too.

Internet. Can't live without. Well, it already includes Facebook.

50% of my life is shared in the web. And apparently, so is the rest of the world. Some even share their whole being. Social media sites, admit it or not, are totally ruling our lives.

I'm a Youth for Christ. And if there's one thing I love about it, it's because YFC taught me to worship God. That's true. When you get to love worship, and get in the heart of it, you never stop wanting for more. It's like God being nearer and nearer to you. Worshipping Him has been one of the many things I love to do. Again, with or without someone.

That's it. That's just some of it. There are a lot more, of course. But those are the tops. Arigato.

Day 19's done. Peace yo. 

Photo Challenge Day 13!

Life is boring without music. Intensify it. There you go. And that’s the truth everybody. Can you even imagine walking alone on your way home without earphones stuck in your, well, ears and listening to your playlist? That is just simply unacceptable! It’s one of my ways of life, by the way. Wherever I go, I always have my earphones with me. And whenever I walk alone, roaming around Earth, I listen to music. I just don’t care what’s happening around. I’m that kind of guy who even with UFO landing at my side, I wouldn’t give a darn. Life goes on. That’s why I like the challenge today. Posting a picture of your favorite band or artist. I used to NOT play favorites when it comes to music. I listen to everything. And if it’s worthy to remain in my playlist, whoever the singer is, it, well, remains. But as times fly, and I discovered more in the world of music, I came across certain artist’s music and loved it. I loved it so much that I downloaded each and every album they ever released. Let’s start with…

 

They are FM Static everybody. And they’re type of music is oh-so good! They are not your typical rock band, man. They have this coolness no other band’s got. And when you hear an FM Static song, even if it’s your first time hearing the song, you’ll know its FM Static. And I think that’s one good thing a singer must strive to achieve. Making the crowd recognize their voices and they’re type of music. FM Static is kinda pop/rock band. And it’s a cool mix, actually. Hooray for FM Static!

They are Simple Plan. Simply one of my favorite bands. You can never say “Nah, I’ll pass listening to this,” when Simple Plan is playing. Their music is simply worth listening to. It’s a rock band but they can touch your heart the way it did mine. Shut up! Simple Plan for the win!

Who wouldn’t love their music? Parokya ni Edgar has been in the business even before I was born! And they are still here! All the other bands that started making names with them are all gone! Disbanded! Destroyed! Annihilated! But not Parokya. They are the definition of solid! And their music is something that everyone could relate to. They always try to reach the deepest part of their listeners’ hearts. 

Now this is legend! I am just grateful that they made songs. If not, my life is ruined! I just love the way they put simple words together and sing it! It’s like creating a song from a common conversation. And they just simply rocked it! They are well, gone now. All its members have its own bands now. But their music lives on forever and ever! Kudos to Eraserheads!

I could not think of any other Filipino rapper who does his thing as splendidly as Gloc 9. His passion for his music is just unparalleled. His songs touch a lot of people. His music is the very voice of what’s inside people’s hearts. He expresses people’s grief, shares people’s dismay, and show’s people’s love through his songs. He is simply the best there is! 

Let’s go to, uhm, the gay part. *<laugh>*

Taylor Swift changed the way I think of country music. I’ll not elaborate. She’s just too good with her music.

She rocks, that’s for sure! And apparently, she’s a vampire. *<laugh>*. Come on, her face didn’t change, at all, since 10 years ago! From Complicated to Here’s to Never Growing Up, Avril Lavigne continues to rock my world.

Why would I not love Katy Perry? Aswer it!

And Rihanna? Answer!

And her. Julie Ann San Jose. The only local singer that I listen to too intently. Aside from her songs, she’s just adorable. In fact, I’m his number two fan.

Now to the gayer part. *<LOL>*

Boybands in the 90’s were a thing. And among all the boybands that tried to make a name for themselves, Backstreet Boys stood out. I have all their songs in my playlist. From their self-titled album to “In a World Like This”, I listen to all of them! Their way of singing, and how they divide equally the lyrics to every member, is heaven to your ears. And I think it’s important for a group, by the way. I mean, equal sharing of the lyrics. You just can’t focus on one person and forget the others. They are a band for a reason. Come on.

You can hate him but not his songs. And I kinda hate him. Not him-him. It’s the things that he does. It’s like hating the sins and not the sinner. Justin just takes a lot of attention in all the bad things he’s doing. If this doesn’t stop, I think he’s on his way to, uhm, falling down. I’ve heard a lot of similar stories. Beware. But, hey, his music is good. Bow.

There’s nothing not to love about his music. He is just too good in what he does. He redefined music altogether. He is Bruno Mars. He is a martian. Kidding. He's a part-Filipino!
