It's our dear friend.

JUDE DEVERAUX.

Because of this woman, I realized that I have developed a terrible knack for historical romance. She's soooo good at it. I love her! Now, I always look for these things.

Today, I suddenly remembered one book that I have read. Although, it was already some months ago, I think.

But it is oh so beautiful, I promise.

Oh, Leira, please do comment. And read it! Because I want us to discuss it. Just like in book clubs eh? I don't know, I think I have so many side comments on things. HAHA.

Anyway, this novel is "The Heiress". It's a Montgomery book. AHA! Now, you're interested eh??

But it's somehow distant? This is not in the Velvet series, although it is from the Montgomery series. Do you get that? The Velvets are kinda a series inside the series? I think.

I've read the first Montgomery. Which is somehow weird because Montgomery was a name there and not a last name. OHWELL.

I thought this was the 2nd Montgomery but it turns out, after the first one, the Velvet series was next.
The first one came out 1980 and this one came out 1995, according to Wikipedia, 22 novels away from the first one. GREAT. And that's just in the Montgomery/Taggert series.

Anyway, I hope you people read Jude Deveraux. She is one of the bests. And one of my favorites.
This book, like the others, introduces us to a heroine and her knight. They are extraordinary people and I love them.

P.S. I read it as an e-book.

WORST. THAN. JEMI. BREAK-UP

WHAT?! WHAT COULD BE WORSE THAN THAT EPIC JOE AND DEMI BREAK-UP??



....Cameron and Macy breaking up.

This is just the worse feeling. The heaviness in my chest threatens to overcome me. I don't know. With Demi and Joe, I felt irritated. Because I knew it was gonna happen. It was an "I told you so" moment. But this time with Cam and Macy, oh my, I don't think anybody saw this coming. I didn't even know til now but I think it has been going on under my nose. Ever since Macy posted that song on YouTube. I only watched a few seconds of it when she posted it so I didn't really know exactly what the song is about.

Wait. Before I go on blabbering, lemme just tell you that I don't know for sure if they broke up. I am just holding on to what I've been reading through Tumblr threads and whatnot.

The first thing I saw was Cammy's comment on the video but it was directed to the fans.
I'm like, what do you mean, "Doesn't matter what's going on"??? What IS GOING ON? So I, like, went to Tumblr to find out. You can always rely on Tumblr on things like this. People there are always advanced on everything.

YEAH, that's why I couldn't understand what was going on. Seems like they were on page 10 while I was just at the intro. Sucked. But they did put up some things that made sense. So, Macy posted this song called "I Think I'd Be Ok".
YEAHNO, I don't think anyone believes this.
She said there that she was having a Taylor Swift moment so the fans got worried that she's singing about someone's name burning on the fire and, OH, just listen to the dang song.

This didn't seem like much proof to me at first. Macy have written other songs similar to this before. Maybe not that angry and bitter but..yknow..maybe I didn't want to believe it just then. But then I saw this:
And all hope died right there. I don't know which came out first, the post or the video.

How can these two lovely people break up???!!!!
I've even read somewhere that they're not following each other on Twitter. UGH.




Guess there wouldn't be anymore of these.
Or these...


THIS!

Nothing. Just felt like spamming. To keep me from crying.

'YOKO NA.


SCREENCAPS. NOW.

All of you's Nick J fans better watch this.

A Tip.

When doing musical exploration, always look to the right side of your YouTube screen.

Thank you suggested videos bar.

BUMMER!

I can't believe Taylor Swift is on the Hunger Games soundtrack! ://////

I got to know because of the onslaught of cover videos flooding my YouTube Subscriptions updates. Irritatiiiiiing. I haven't listened to it. Here, you do the honors.

The Christmas Playlist.

SO, we meet again.

What is it with me and capitalizing letters?! I just don't get it.

Heyya random person. Howsabout me and yea get random and crazy togetha?
YEAAAHNO, I'm sober.

Izz 2:25 am and I have this unignorable urge to put up my Christmas playlist. To put light to your musical appetites this Yuletide season.

I love you that much soooo let's get on with it!

First, let me greet you with this video I made:
Yeah, I did this with my brothers Nick and Kevin. Nick gets a lot of female attention. And I am highly jealous and annoyed so I had to embarrass him in this video, like I always do.

Okay, I'm kidding. Didn't mean to pick on Joe. It's just that, he's my favorite (Okay, that may be an understatement) and I'm kinda obsessing on his 16 year old self.

And since I really don't know where to start, let's just start with The Jonas Brothers.

1. I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas- Jonas Brothers version
So funny, Garbo is at the background. And he's got this whole blond thing going on.
What do you get for covering this kind of song? You get a real live hippo delivered on your doorstep. That's what happened to them. I'm quoting Joseph: "Silly fans!" but not in a cute way.

The cover is surprisingly adorable! They kinda amped up some of the lyrics which I greatly appreciate :))

I immensely enjoy singing along to this. HAHA. Kinda rad.

Sorry 'bout this video. A lot of flailing arms and female hysteria.

2. The Little Drummer Boy- Sean Quigley
OHMY. I cannot tell you right now how much I adore Sean Quigley at this very moment. I am totally in love with him. This video is so special to people of Winnipeg. I even told my momma to go to Winterpeg to find this guy and tell him I adore him! HAHA.

Here, watch this little back story:

http://m.winnipegsun.com/2011/12/01/winnipeg-teen-drums-up-viral-hit

3. I Wanna Be Your Christmas- Andrew Allen
Another one of my favorite Canadians! Trust Andrew to give us feel-good and cheesy love songs! I totally love him. He's always so smiley and his songs always have that happy vibe. When I hear his songs, I hear the smile on his voice. YES, I just know he's smiling while singing. Such a good and positive man. And all of that is translated and reflected in his songs.

4. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas- EVERY FREAKIN' VERSION I KNOW

Sorry! It's just that ever since I heard Demi's version of this, it has been my favorite Christmas song. So please, bear with all the HYAMLC.

Demi Lovato


Joe Brooks


Relient K


Michael Buble (Okay, mother)


5. It's Not Christmas Without You- Katharine McPhee
Terribly sweet! We just got to love Katharine. She's a wonderful singer. I get the creeps whenever she says that line where she's saying "our last December" or something like that. I like that part.

6. It's Not Christmas Without Snow- Details Details
I've only known Seth for a short while. He's so cute. I got to know him through, whatshername, Taylor. Woodford. Yeah, THAT girl. From Nashville.

Anyway, he's also into that techno stuff. Much like Owl City in the good ole days. LOL
Love Seth, he dances real good.

7. I Hate Christmas Parties-Relient K
There is a lot of Relient K going on in this playlist. Because they have this whole Christmas album going on and one just cannot help but love it. Sorry.
Anyway, I hope I didn't make your Christmas sad. HAHA.

8. The First Noel- Tobymac feat. Owl City
It's TOBYMAC! Need I say more? Well, I do have something more: MY MAN ADAM YOUNG!
Two awesomeness in one song. What more can we ask for huh?

9. The Brightest Thing- Austin Nivarel
OH OH OH OH! Another one of my current crushes. I got to know Austin through Twitter. He's one of the awesome people who follow me. Listened to his PureVolume account and got some free downloads there. This was one of the tracks. The song is sooooo cute right??! And Austin's voice is just to die for. Kinda lazy and sweet and all things awesome.

10. I'm Gettin' Nuttin' For Christmas- Relient K
WHHUUUT! Look at Matt on that thumbnail! :P Trust Relient K to be crazy at all times. I just flip out whenever Matt does silly things to his voice like that.

11. Christmas This Year- Tobymac feat. Leigh Nash
Tobymac is back! This time with Leigh. Awesome song!

12. Merry Christmas, Here's To Many More- Relient K
At the end of the day, Relient K could always make me jerk a tear. Here and there. Told you there would be a lot of Relient K.

13. Grown Up Christmas List- Michael Buble
SIGH. As you know, my mother adores this man. Yes, I can tolerate my mother crushing on a married man. Because, well, I have a crush on him too. So, yeah, I just felt entitled to put a Buble Christmas song that is guaranteed to sing you to sleep.

14. Baby It's Cold Outside
OH, HAIL THE KISS. The kiss that sent Cammy away. Lindsay, you'll pay for that. Okay, okay, it's not her fault Cameron quit and she said it ain't her idea to kiss him so I'll let it go.

Let's just listen to this instead
There. No kissing whatsoever. OKAY! So, it's Glee! They have the best version for me, so there. WHAT?! It's freaking Darren Criss! You must understand my dilemma. Such a wonderful, playful song. I imagine singing it with Cameron and then-NO! I wake up. HAHA.

15. I Celebrate The Day- Relient K
Okay you must now be so sick of Relient K but this is the most precious one. :)) Totally in love with this.

16. The Christmas Song- Flyleaf
Totally shocked to know that Flyleaf had a song like this. Now, I am smitten. Love this song :))

17. The Christmas Song- Owl City
Take me back to the days when me and Adam were in love. OH STOP. This is the first Christmas song that I totally loved. Soooo cute.

18. Wonderful Christmas Time-Demi Lovato
Demi's version is so happy and lively. Unlike Paul McCartney's. SIGH. This one is prettier.

19. It's A Wonderful Life- Brookline Drive

Hey, hey. It's Brookline Drive bringing us awesome holiday music. I so totally love them. And this cool song!

20. Merry Swiftmas- Evan Taubenfeld

OKAY, I MAY HAVE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST.

HAHA! It's just hilarious. I heard this when I was in junior year of high school. I had this friend who was a real TSwizzle fan. EXTREME. And she had this on her MP3 player. Other than it's title, what made me listen to it was the name of the artist. TAUBENFELD. As you may (or may not) know, I had this super crush on Demi's guitarist and his name was Drew Taubenfeld. I don't remember exactly how I found out but they turned out to be brothers. BROTHERS! Around that time, I also found out that Drew won't be making it to one leg of Demi Lovato's tour because he was going to join Evan on HIS tour. Who would've thought? Recently, I saw this super long video, a live chat, of Evan with his fans. And Drew was a special guest. The first time I saw them together. And Evan said that Drew was engaged to Demi Lovato! He goes like this "Drew...Drew is not single" Drew's just smiling, the usual. "He's actually engaged.." and Drew was going "Oh, yeah" and nodding off absently and then "..to Demi Lovato." and as soon as he heard that he shut his eyes and went "OHGOD." and then he was smiling and saying ohgod even louder. It was a joke of course, meant to unnerve Drew. Which was quite effective really, he was in shambles, LOLled right across the couch. The guy next to him said "I'M engaged to Miley Cyrus" like he's saying he's got it worse.

There's so many things I keep discovering about Evan. I also found out through this video that he is (or was, I dunno) best friends with a certain Avril Lavigne. Go follow the comment thread on the video. The fans are shipping the two of them. It's kind of a tragic love story really. Just browse the internet, or just YouTube for that matter and you'd be able to draw some conclusions. They have been really sweet during the early set of Avril's career. Evan had appearances in a lot of Avril's music video and they have a song together. They have worked alongside each other, writing songs and going on tour. But nothing has come out of it.

HAHA! Tsismosa! This was meant to be a Christmas playlist not a gossip post.

Anyway, this song just makes me smile! It's so hilarious.


YYYEYYY!

It is 5:20 am and I am done!

I hope you had fun listening to these songs because they mean a whole lot to me. I hope you treasure them as much as I do too. I love you! Til next time! :)))))))))

Heart- Stephen Jerzak

They put up some pretty messed up lyrics. Won't rely on them if I were you. Just stalling before the Christmas playlist.

See You Again- Miley Cyrus

Oh MEMORIES!
My whirlwind music history. JUNIOR YEAR.

When I once sang this nonstop. HAHA. Tis the show/gig/concert whatever where I got the Fly On The Wall steps. HAHA. Okay, I'll stop now.

P.S. Stay tuned for the Christmas Playlist.

Hope-We Shot The Moon

This band! This band just showed me the advantages of liking non-mainstream bands. They are one of the first products of my musical explorations. The first band who gave me a free album download. FTW! Oh, the memory of it makes me wanna squeeze their cheeks! LOL. I genuinely like their music. It makes me feel something. Something real pleasant.
HOPE
Favorite lines:
"I'm ready for fear and love and everything between."
"Just tell me I'm strong enough for one more song"
"I'm going for broke, but I've got hope."

So, simply speaking, the chorus part.

BTW, WSTM followed me and DM-ed on Twitter 5 freaking times. 5 TIMES BABY.

See what I mean?

One of the many things I like to watch is when Jon plays the piano. It just fascinates me how he's always so into it. I call him The Great Piano Mamaw. If you're too boring, you could just say that he's a piano virtuoso or something. He just has this huge and passionate love affair with the black and white keys, I guess.
Anyway, seeing him stooped above his piano gets me all the time. Sometimes he doesn't even have the luxury of a seat, he just literally stoops over the thing. Why are piano playing people like that anyway? I sometimes feel uneasy and wonders if he can even sing in that position. But he delivers, everytime.
Jon's a treasure. I love him so much. I don't know how many times I've said that but everytime I think of him, this flow of affection would surge through me and I become a lovesick puppy mulling over this guy.
All this I got from watching 10 seconds of a video of him. I tell you, this man has got me hard! HAHA.
Back to the piano thing. I love Jon's piano playing. The ones in his songs are immensely sweet and kinda leaning on super brilliant. Sometimes I could not really love one song but totally be crazy about the piano parts there. All the piano parts in his songs are very hard. He has this habit of writing songs that are really hard to play that even he can't seem to play it the way he likes to.
See what I mean? Well, I guess this one's excusable since he's got a missing key. But this next one. HAHA. He even has the decency to title it 'Piano is Hard'
When I watched this I'm like "Are you kidding me?! You're like a piano king!" He's being funny. 

I love you soooo much Jon!
Check Jon out, you will never regret meeting him.

Catching Snowflakes- Pixie Lott

I so love "Turn It Up: Louder"! I love Pixie cause she's so pretty and sexy and she sings great. She rocks. You should see her legs sometime.

Nothing But A Song- Tiago Iorc

HELLO, Tiago.

This guy is so cute, I want to ruffle his just-got-off-the-bed hair..Tiago, get back to business, will ya?

This is a long-time love.

Stephen Jerzak! I don't know LOTS of his song though. just a few. But I can guarantee you that he is GOOD! Been on tour, lots of collabs--including one with, get this, LEIGHTON MEESTER.

What I remember about him is that he posts these acoustic covers, he plays the ukelele sometimes, uhm, his voice can be loud but he can definitely hit some high notes, and HE LOVES TAYLOR SWIFT. HAHA! He covers her a LOT. He even posted this video of that time that he FINALLY met Taylor. And Taylor even complimented his hair. HAHA.

But there has been some changes. I think it's been a year (or could be less) before I saw him again. His body is definitely different. He's grown. He looks much buffer now. And his hair is a lot shorter and he dyed it black. Some things changed in his music too. In his records, he doesn't do acoustic (?) I can't really tell.

Anyway, here are some of my good-to-watch Stephen vids.
  Stephen's version of Trouble by NeverShoutNever! who I utterly loved at that time.
Beware though, he's a little loud. HAHA. It seemed a decent cover.








Here is his cover of Tik Tok by Ke$ha. HAHA! Po-po shut us down. He didn't even change the lyrics.












This is an original called Cute. I remember hearing this for the first time, grinning and exclaiming that it has got to be the cheesiest song!













This girl is Emma Watson's twin!

Not really.

Look, I'm subscribed on YouTube to this girl named Rachel and she does these cool make-up tutorials. Her brother Patrick is also on YouTube (I've been subscribed to his channel for some time too) and only recently did I find out that they were actually siblings. Rach uploaded this video of her giving Patrick a make over which actually really sucked.
ANYWAAAAY (Gosh, straying away from the topic again). She's very pretty and great with make-up. Whenever I look at her, I can't help but think how familiar she looked. It took a while before I realized that if I cover her eyes, she could very well BE Emma Watson. So I told her that! I commented and told her she was amazing and that she looked so much like Emma W. And she replied that she did get that a lot, and also K-Stew. But yeah, everytime I see her, I see Emma. Really weird.
I don't have photos of her so if you wanna see her, visit her YouTube channel. So you could see what I mean. HAHA. Love Rach. She told me this "Aww. I'm sure you look pretty!"

Let's take a trip down memory lane.

Wiiiith this song. I'm sure ONE reader out there is just dying to see Nick and Miley together (Ahem, Anne, Ahem)
For the other reader, I know you ARE NOT too happy seeing Nick and Miley together but just remember the old times, us singing this :))
Disney sure was great back in the day. Now these people don't really want to be attached to Disney that much. So, the channel officially kiiiinda sucks.

Shake It Up.


To see my other looks, please visit my Looklet profile :)) http://looklet.com/user/250801

Try your hand at styling too! :)) Loves.

This is a Nick Jonas favorite.

HAHAHA. I titled this post as such because of two reasons. One is because, well, it's the truth. That is a very GOOD reason. Second is because only two people could be reading this blog and both are big fans of Nick Jonas. So instead of putting the artist's name, I put on his. HAHA.

Anyway, it is no other than the 70's and 80's sensation Elvis Costello!

He is a wise musician. I love him. Never conventional in his music.
And Nick Jonas is just craaazy about him. How do I know? Well, he has always been vocal about his Elvis Costello love, wearing Elvis Costello t-shirts and the biggest declaration of love? Naming his dog Elvis. Yeah, the golden retriever one.

Well, I really like his song Alison-also Nick's favorite-from the record 'My Aim is True'. The album title is a line from the song. Some people say that some of the lines in this song refer to murder so it makes the song a tad bit creepy. HAHA. But it is a nice song nonetheless.

Relient k is like bacon... they can cover anything and make it amazing.

HAHAHA! That was a comment on one of their covers on Youtube. And it's true! They're like so good that they can cover this and totally rock. It's ridiculously amazing. I don't what it is about this band but I totally love them.

This is the original. HAHAHA! You won't get the freaking big joke until you see the original.



Burberry Acoustic - 'Country Song' by Jake Bugg

HOWMY! I love this guy.

Sinking Ships- General Fiasco

Watched Burberry Acoustics. It was a M.E.N. when I watched this, didn't really know how I'd arrived at this. But Burberry Acoustics features really cool artists, I think it's where I discovered other artists too.
Anyway, aren't they so adorbs?! HAHA.
Don't they just look dapper in their coats?

General Fiasco are an indie rock group from Bellaghy, Northern Ireland.

The Anthem for Losers

Iron Maiden baby!

Pirate Radio aka The Boat That Rocked

One of the cutest films ever.

Besides, my crush Tom, is in here.

Yeah, I have a funny story bout him though. After watching Pirate Radio and deciding it was awesome. I looked up Tom Sturridge photos and concluded that he could have been a better Edward Cullen than Robert Pattinson. It was a shame. Weeks after, I found out that he and RPATZZ were actually best friends. LAME.

Radical.



The Downtown Fiction will release their new EP, Pineapple, on December 20th. Check out the artwork above, tracklisting below.

1. Out In The Streets
2. Get It Right
3. Happy (Without You)
4. Feeling Better
5. Circles

I'm seriously in PANIC mode right now.

AAAH! Tumblr, sometimes, I swear I just wanna kiss you and kill you at the same time-if that's humanly possible.

I just found out through said blogging site that GLEE, freaking GLEE covered MY FAVORITE BAND right now (and I'd like to think for a long time)--FUN.

How could they?! I KNOW! I am so in hipster mode right now!
PLEASE just PLEASE. I hope that publicity won't take my love away from me. Because I cannot live sans it. I mean, I could but that life would be so freaking ugly.

HOOOH, I am totally steaming right now.

I always watch this with my sibs but today, I wondered.........

HAHAHA! The next post would be about this Aussie band Dapple Cities. :))

The Middle-Jimmy Eat World

Jimmy Eat World eats the wooorld. Thanks for this song. It's gotten people through tough times.

Look out: The Christmas Palylist

I know some fun Christmas songs so I've decided to gather them all up in one playlist. I may post it a week before Christmas. I think it would be great so watch out for that :))))

FUN.

HAHA. I guess it's time for the inevitable. I have put off posting FUN. for a looong while now. AS IN. Ever since I resumed blogging, I have wanted to post about them but I only got around to it now (NOW that the obsession in me is already subsiding). I have put off posting this because I treasure fun. so much and I think that I'm too afraid that they wouldn't be of your tastes. I figured you haven't heard much indie music as I have and it may be kinda scary for you. But alas, I feel like I can't go on with this blog when my whole system has fun. in it and it's already beginning to move on and find new blood but I still haven't shared them with you. Yes, if you understood what I just said, please go on reading. HAHA, anyway.

Let's talk about what Wikipedia tells us about fun.. Yes, they're a band and yes, they do have a period at the end of their name. They're cool like that.

Sabi ni Wiki, fun. is an American indie pop band (you do not know how good that sounds to me) based in New York City in New York that was formed by Nate Ruess from the now-dissolved band, The Format. After the 2008 breakup of The Format, Ruess left Arizona to develop his career in New York City.  Ruess then formed Fun with Andrew Dost of Anathallo and Jack Antonoff of Steel Train. Fun recorded their debut album, Aim and Ignite in August 2008.

In February 2010, Fun supported Jack's Mannequin  (I love this band too, HAHA) on their headline tour, along with Vedera which was followed by their first UK appearances in March. YADA YADA YADA. Their current touring band also includes Rob Kroehler, Emily Moore, Nate Harold, and Jon "Jonny Thunder" Goldstein.

HEAR THIS, HEAR THIS. In April 2010, Fun supported Paramore's headline tour. Other support for the tour includes Relient K and Harriet Ellis of Summer Beats hosted by Sprint Mobile. The band then embarked on a full UK tour in May. OHA OHA.

Fun and Relient K opened up for Paramore on their Spring Tour 2010. AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
Aim and Ignite album cover art.
Anywhooooooo. Let's talk about some of their songs, shall we?

Personally, I loved the whole Aim and Ignite album but I DID have preferences, favorites even. And I'm also gonna talk about some that's not in the album. Also, as I am totally in love with fun. because they are so totally AMAZING live (although I haven't really seen them perform live, please do not argue with me, haha), I am gonna post some of their live sessions along with the studio versions. I'M EXCITED! 

So, let's be moving along.

The first one is All The Pretty Girls. This is the first fun. song that I listened to and it was a lot of FUN too! If you've been reading my posts, I discovered fun. the same time I first listened to Pumped Up Kicks, that M.E.N. I was talking about in this post-->Pumped Up Kicks-Foster The People, that was it. HAHA. Anyways, watch the video first, before we make further evaluations.
Please, just ignore Nate's pants, however distracting they may be. Nate is the one who sings, by the way. HAHAHA. They look pretty cute, don't they? I didn't think so, the first time I saw a picture of them. But I have realized over the time that as far as I and music are concerned, familiarity breeds affection. Think that over. :) OHMY, looking at them right now, I realized that they look like a bunch of nerds and I AM A NERD for saying 'they look pretty cute, don't they?'. Oh well. Dorky is my name and Quirky is my game.

Some say Nate look like Mark Wahlberg and I'monna go with YEAH! HE TOTALLY DOES! I love Mark Wahlberg. Tsk. 

I don't know what more to say about the song at this point because I just plainly liked it when I heard it. At this point right now, I would have some things to say about it but I WON'T. Because I, how do I say this? I have a lot to say about it now because of the experiences and discoveries I had between that time and now. And, I guess, I want you to discover those things as well and enjoy this song in a whole new light later on. That goes for all the other songs too. Because that is the joy of music! Don't you just love that? :))))))

Next let's talk about At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used To Be). WAIT! Before I say anything more, let's listen to it first. :D
Now this. This song gave me a lot to like about fun. Kung sa All The Pretty Girls, I just plainly liked it, with this one, I really noticed the artist and I started to wonder about their potential and what they could actually serve on the table. After this I may have to post some lives. HAHA. With this song, uhm, when I listened to it, I felt LIBERATED. I felt FREE. Haha. I honestly did. At that time, I couldn't actually tell what I felt but it really seemed like an overwhelming eureka moment. I never knew music can be like this. I never thought it could be that honest and fun and playful. HAHA. I feel silly right now but back then, that's what I felt.
The thing I so dig about fun. is how they can rock out live. That live session was no different from the studio version, except that it's acoustic. Well, maybe I'm overdoing this fun. promotion and I maybe over-reacting but YES, I am totally admiring Nate. He's an excellent singer. I never thought. O.O

They're GOOOOD! I wish I'd been there to shout "HEY, NATE!" at the hey, nate part. :| ENK. Y'know there's this live one during their tour with Paramore where they sing this song with Relient K and Hayley Williams does the girl parts. But I won't post that because I'm so jealous of Hayley. BUT OHHH! That moment is just so epic, my favorite artists sharing a stage!!!!!!!!! So I'm gonna post it. I just decided that now.
This video has 0 dislikes! Gettaloado'that!!! In case you missed, the one playing trumpet was Matt Thiessen from Relient K. You'd recognize his scraggly mass of a hair, ugh, Matt and his hair. That was really fun jamming but OH! I think you've had too much of ALINAS. SORRRRRY.

Are you now seeing the built-up excitement?! This is gonna be a long post. HAHA. Okay maybe I'll just do top three favorites and just post the videos for the others. HAHA.

This maybe TOP 1. HAHA. I was supposed to do a separate post on this. I had written out a draft on my notebook and I'm just gonna type it here now with some commentaries and whatnot.

The supposed TITLE: I really really love this song.

Well, that tells a lot doesn't it? I love almost every song I post here. But not enough to put it on the title.
That was actually a desperate plea for you to read this post.

In this post, I will reveal two artists that I am into these days (I've obviously written this quite some time ago). They are Panic! At The Disco and Fun. Knowing about the collaboration made my world shake. Of course, that is an exaggeration so you don't have to wonder if my world indeed shook. This song is titled "C'mon"

C'mon is one of those songs that I loved instantly. During my C'MON phase, I couldn't say a single negative thing about it. HAHA. That's how much I adore it. Considering how I love the two artists (which I doubt you have the vaguest idea of), you could just imagine (maybe you can't) how euphoric I feel everytime I listen to it.

It's funny that I first heard a cover of this before I heard the original version. I don't know how I arrived at Colour Of Infinity's cover (COI is Patrick and I like him and his sister, you should check them out) but I liked his cover and I wanted to listen to the original, to see if it were better or worse so I can decide which to download. ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS.
I do not like this video so much. I was looking for one with cute pictures and the CORRECT lyrics but this one is the closest to having them but I like the photos from this video better.

OKAY, LEZZ WATCH IT LIIIVE!


MIND. BLOWING. So powerful. Brendon's keyboard smashing and their almost kiss. HAHA. Them sharing a stage and singing one song. AMAZING, I tell you. So sweet. OKAY, I can't say any more.

Here are other fun. songs I like:

The Gambler

Now I don't care if this video doesn't have photos. The lyrics are what matter most. :D









Be Calm
I Wanna Be The One

Teenage Dirtbag- All Time Low (Wheatus Cover)

Awesoooome. Just chanced upon this video of All Time Low covering the Wheatus song "Teenage Dirtbag" which I hear a lot and really like. But Alex really made it sound cooler. I can say better than Wheatus! HAHA.
They didn't do the whole song though. Jack was a party pooper.
Found this. Shot from a different angle.

:O


My reaction to this:



UGH. My frustration!

Just now, I get @replied by Brookline Drive. Because I tweeted about the Brookline Drive and Stereo Skyline gigs. AND UUUUUUGGGGHHH! They ask if I'm coming and it's so sick because I'm not. Because I can't. I feel this all the time. I would so love to watch my favorite artists live.

HA-HA-HA. I can't smile.

I have a crush on this alien.

HAHAHA! This is Jordan. Eckes. He's an alien. He's from a super cool band called We Are The In Crowd. I'll post a song later. I just wanted to say I have a crush on this super tall and lanky boy who rocks like no other. HAHA.
He's so skinnnny.

I don't want to imagine how many times I repeated "I Remember..." in this post.

I sure hope somebody out there is reading my crappy little blog.

Because I feel very much like Julie (from Julia and Julie) right now. HAHA. Anywhoo.

OH! OH! OH! I just remembered my dream a while ago. I dreamed (is there no such word as dreamt?!) that Colin Egglesfield was one of my teachers! But the setting was high school and not college. If you didn't know Colin Egglesfield is a very HANDSOME and GORGEOUS actor. Yes, I needed to emphasize those. HAHA. I knew him through the movie "Something Borrowed" (which you should check out because I definitely loved it.)

Anyway, it didn't look so good in my dream. I was in trouble because I forgot to return his guitar that I borrowed. I left it in some room. Colin was about to leave when he remembered about the guitar and he sent someone to fetch it for him, so that someone came looking for me. HAHA. And nervously, I went looking for it (I didn't even know where it was exactly). I dragged a classmate to come with me because I was afraid. On our way, we saw Colin standing by a tricycle (Can you believe it?! Colin looked like a Greek god beside that raggedly tricycle) so we took a detour, I didn't want him to see us.

So we got to that room and thankfully it wasn't locked and the guitar was there, comfortably perched on the wall. So we took it, along with some scrunched up paper cut-outs (I forgot why we took them). We decided we should just give it to Colin directly so I swallowed my fear and walked out onto the street. He was sitting inside the trike so I couldn't see him but somehow he knew I was there and he got out. He looked handsomely intimidating. And when I say this, I am not exaggerating. He looked quite pissed at me for making him wait long. And so I felt very very ashamed. But he looked oh so cute. HAHA. So I handed him the thing and stared after him. Apparently, he wasn't going to ride the tricycle at all. He got on the jeepney parked alongside the road. And to my surprise, my grandma came out of the school and got on the friggin jeepney with Colin Egglesfield! Can you believe it?! And so with great gusto I started shouting to my granny and we were like waving back and forth to each other and suddenly I wanted to ride that jeepney too! My grandma was not gonna get Colin to herself! Now I don't remember much about the next events but there wasn't much Colin. I think I made 'sabit' sa jeep, I don't know, but I remember constantly falling off the darned thing and trying to get on it again and in the end we just walked home. I remember feeling sad while walking (might be because of the Colin encounter) and I remember looking down to see myself wearing my sister's clothes. My sister is 5 years old! But yeah, I was wearing her favorite floral skirt and it, surprisingly, fit me just well. And so that dream ended with me back home.

Lousy dream. I don't want to tell you of my dream on the night BEFORE that. It was a Smile Kid dream and I do not want to remember it, EVER!

PS: Colin Egglesfield is such a (Please, I don't want to say hottie because I sound like a pervert. Don't even get me started on sexy) a...a..good looking man? HAHA. Anyway, it wasn't just his killer face and body. Okay, maybe his body but more his POSTURE. (What? Posture?!) Yeah, I'm weid that way. I notice his posture. Yes, the way he stands and the way he shoves his hands in his pockets. I love those little things. Oh geez, when you see him in a suit, BLAH, that's just killer meltdown for my heart.

Maybe some Colin spamming since I cannot stop raving about him.
Look at those shoulders.
