the lion city



singapura.

hello! so it took me a month and three days before i feel like blogging again. seriously, during the month of november, i've been really lazy and busy making myself useful by planning our family trip to singapore since i'm always at home doing nothing productive anyway.

i will be posting the rest of our trip on my next posts, keep posted!

six degrees of separation




second. you're doing these things out of desperation.

two music video posts within an hour. sorry, the wire of my laptop kinda got busted late last week i just feel ecstatic right now because Hannah and i are planning something mind-blowing. haha *fingerscrossed*

updated: also, check out Rudimental's new music video, Not Giving In, which was shot in the Philippines. the song also features John Newman (again) and Alex Clare. it's more fun in the Philippines, eh?

give me love




paint splattered teardrops on my shirt.

finally! one of my fave songs by ed already has a music video.

btw, did Isabel Lucas (yup, the girl from transformers: revenge of the fallen) also remind you of Warren Kenneth Worthington III (a.k.a. Archangel) from x-men when his wings were still growing?

i dream to be an expat

below are places i currently dream to move and live into. i haven't been to any of the places before, i just made assumptions of what it'll look and feel like when one's actually living in it through the articles i've read or movies and photos i've seen. (i'm solely responsible for my assumptions/feelings and for the words i used) so pardon me or just stop reading if you find my words offensive/condescending.


LONDON or anywhere in the UK
(england, scotland, wales, northern ireland)
because i heard a lot of great, awesome, stupendous, struggling artists play gigs there for free. loljk. it's one of the reasons though, aside from the fact that i can't resist loving gloomy weather and an 'urban but with a country feel' kind of place. just walking on the sidewalks, after work or on a weekend, passing by bookstores, coffee shops or any interesting shops/parks/views would be enough to complete my day. i don't think i'll ever need any specs when i turn 60 yrs old or older, they're like food for my eyes.. and soul perhaps, but i'll definitely need hearing aids after years of listening to great, awesome, stupendous songs by great, awesome, stupendous, struggling artists.


SYDNEY/MELBOURNE/PERTH/BRISBANE
because.. it's australia! ha! it's a place i consider peaceful and conducive to living. i find it homey and i don't know why or maybe because i'm a self-proclaimed wanderluster: i'm in love with places i've never been to and people i've never met-- a phrase that would summarize this whole blog post.


NYC
like i don't mind getting lost or walking everyday as long as i'll be seeing a stuyvesant street, manhattan kind of setting. stumbling upon a park or two along the way wouldn't hurt especially if we're talking about THE grand central park. a few months or a year living in nyc would be fine, but a lifetime? i don't know. it's just that the city's too fast paced imho.


CHICAGO
because of the urban with a country feel, again. i'm not really sure why, but for me, it's like london and nyc combined. and yes, cloud gate's a plus point.


LOS ANGELES
i also heard they have awesome music festivals there. (haha i'm not kiddin.) seriously, i kinda love the LA neighborhood. i'm not specifically talking about the rich and famous neighborhood, the normal and peaceful type would be enough as long as i get to walk around LA everyday beneath those palm trees which leads me to.. yup, the sunsets. i also love the setting of the movie 500 days of summer. if you've forgotten what it looks like, maybe you could, like watch it again? it'll be worth it. levitt's in the movie, duh. as well as the adorbs dechannel (sans the dumping levitt part.)


even though there are a lot of places i love (i saved it for my next post), e.g. Paris, it just didn't strike me as a place for working and living. i find Paris a great place for vacation only.. not unless i find a job that's totally Paris-befitting (eg. a baker for french macarons or a part of Vogue Paris, attend fashion shows or events and write articles about it and whatnot. HA!) you know i'm kidding, right? i may be chatty at times in my posts, but writing. is. not. really. my. thing. i rather show it through photographs even though photography's not my forte either. it's just that, pressing the shutter button's much easier than arranging my thoughts and putting them into words.

i digress, if you feel i'm prejudicial to the places i've mentioned above, you're always welcome to comment below and share your thoughts. maybe it'll even benefit me-- i'll get to read opinions/facts i haven't known before.

PS. i don't hate my country or trying to forget where i came from. i just want a new environment where i'm not accustomed to or where i can learn a lot of new stuff, enjoy and grow up. (dream on, adele! haha!)

move vs europe




move. pronto.

this video is another version of the video i posted before in my old blog. this is also a hint to what i think i'll be obsessed this month. in other words, i've already made posts that are waiting to be published and ideas that are waiting to be put into actions. wait, did you just think i've been really a lazy bum for the past few weeks? well, you're wrong! unless you count facing my laptop/mobile almost everyday to look for inspirations for my boring couch potato-life or broaden my knowledge in the form of surfing the internet as lazy, then i plead guilty. pardon me.

this is just a break

06.2012




one song's enough to instigate.

i guess November can't stop me from posting music-related posts. if you haven't noticed, i've been making themed posts for the past few months (incidentally!) August - lookbooks. September - runway looks. October - music.

this month, i'm wondering if it'll continue (if so, what will i be obsessed this time.) hmmmm.

everything has changed




..like literally!

the distinct sound of his and her guitar, their voices blending perfectly and the thought of the song are the reasons why i can't say i hate this song, though it's kinda bittersweet because it reminds me of those times when i used to sing (wholeheartedly and out of tune!) along to Ed's songs while other people think i'm crazy singing songs that were, at that time, unfamiliar to them. it can be compared to having a world of your own, where you feel safe, happy and contented, being intruded. yes, that's how weird i find myself for feeling that way. gahh, here i go again..

hope you enjoyed the song as much as i did! and oh, it's not a sin to click that replay button or to put your ipods on 'repeat item' mode for the next couple of days.. it's been proven and tested. just saying. ;)
