Bad Restaurant.

Sat, 04 May 2013 16:16:00 +0700

Did it ever occur to u when u take a visit to a fancy restaurant in the hopes of getting a great meal, but ended up being food poisoned? You give that restaurant a bad review, and it makes u very afraid to try going to that restaurant again lest the same thing might happen to you. Time has passed and you almost forgot what happened. One day, you gave the very same restaurant a try with a glimmer of hope based on other people’s experiences that it’s gonna whet and satiate your appetite. Unfortunately, the same thing happened all over again. You got a very bad plate, and the food upset your grumbling stomach horribly.

Lesson of the story: never eat nor even have an idea of eating in that bad restaurant!

Finally, Daft Punk released its official audio. Been anticipating Random Access Memories, simply coz it’s Daft Punk’s and whatever’s mixed by Daft Punk must be dope.

We’re up all night to get lucky

For the love of electro-house and all things that will blow your mind (and your headphones and/or speakers). :]

Too much, can be an overdose

What a gloomy Sunday today. Been raining, so I decided to stay at home. Paid my infarction-inducing water bill already, and I still have to do some errands later (not to mention continue working on my second job).

Anyway, here’s a song that depicts my mood. After all, I treasure every experience I gained, lest I’d be a bitter pill and put my life into waste. :)

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I’ve loved them all

In My Life - The Beatles

I feel very lethargic today for no apparent reason (it’s the time of the month perhaps). Since I’m not making great use of my time at the moment, except for reading NYT particularly The Caucus, here’s some upbeat Brazilian song as a pick-me-upper sung by a Filipino Bossa Nova singer.

Oariá raiô
Obá Obá Obá!

Mas Que Nada - Sitti Navarro

I grew up in old, classic rock, so it’s not much of a surprise that I know a few old rock bands back in my grandfather’s heydays. Been living in Bangkok for a month now, and quite liking it! :) So here’s an “immigrant song” for the non-immigrant me.

Oh, btw, already got my get-out-of-jail-free pass. Baby can go beyond borders now! Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar and prolly Laos Part 3. THIS.IZ.IT! Valhalla, I am coming!

Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin

I’ve been thinking of places to visit in the near future...

Sun, 15 Jul 2012 01:55:00 +0700

I’ve been thinking of places to visit in the near future aside from where I throve (MNL) and where I am right now (BKK). Here are 5 of them places where I can possibly migrate as well.

1. Seattle, LA, NYC or San Fran or Diego (US) - Comicon. Closest to everything cool. ‘Nuff said.
2. Osaka or Tokyo (Japan) - Sake and Sashimi. Add Ramen to boot, and weird yet cool people. Also, Rakuten FTW!
3. Amsterdam - Weeds and beer.
4. Hong Kong - Branded as the most livable city this year. Shopping and xiao long bao. I thank you. Bow.
5. Paris or Nice (France) - for the love of Eiffel Tower and the most fashionable people in the universe!

Anyway, here’s the song that perfect matches my imminent couch surfing.

Paper Planes (DFA remix) - MIA

Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and weed and bombs
Running when we hit ‘em
Lethal poison through their system
No one on the corner has swagger like us

Weekend hits finally, although I’ll be spending my time working (and not working) as usual. But fuck it, I’m feeling young. That’s a good thing to start.

Anyhoo, here’s a matching song to complete the jovial, childish mood. :)

The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home

We Are Young - Fun

KEEP CALM. WE ARE YOUNG. ;) ;)

Fri, 06 Jul 2012 09:34:00 +0700

I’m feeling very grouchy, err no, infuriated about the delay that isn’t my monthly period.

Oh, anyhoo, I will throw out this hate song (an ost from the movie Natural Born Killers), feign ignorance, put a smile on my face, and find my inner peace. Happy Friday!

When I get mad and I get pissed
I grab my pen and I write out a list
Of all the people that won’t be missed
You’ve made my shitlist

Shitlist - L7

Now, for some lovinnnn’… :)

Sat, 05 May 2012 16:26:00 +0700

I really don’t know why, but I’m on LSS with this song. It’s stuck in my head! :D

Anyway, this cake is great.
It’s so delicious and moist!

Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I’m finding every reason to be gone
Nothing here to hold on to
Could i hold you?

Fri, 04 Nov 2011 00:09:00 +0700

I don’t need time
I don’t know why
The summer wind did not tell
I scramble all night
And I know that I
Will never be a common will

But, I can get by
In the meantime by myself

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 15:34:00 +0700

You’ve been the only thing that’s right
In all I’ve done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we’ll make it anywhere
Away from here

Sun, 02 Oct 2011 06:56:00 +0700

Tell the world I’m coming home
Let the rain wash away
All the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And, they’ve forgiven my mistakes

Decisions, decisions. I’m in the middle of unraveling a mystery, a conundrum.

The scars of your love remind me of us,
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
I can’t help feeling,

We could have had it all,
Rolling in the deep…

Rolling in the Deep - Adele
