you can burn it all

February 23rd, 2010 | Music

Meh. I got bored today and decided to finally do my cover of Fightstar’s song, “Paint Your Target” – one of my favorites of theirs.

So, here it is. It’s basically an acoustic piano/guitar version of the song. It’s not perfected yet. I couldn’t edit out the feedback from the microphone for some reason. Why there was feedback is far beyond me…lol. Anyway I hope you like it ;)

Written by Charlie Simpson/Alex Westaway
Music composed by Fightstar

Arrangement/Vocals/Video editing by Imee (that’s me! hahaha)

23

January 19th, 2010 | Body, Mind & Soul, Life, Music

Last January 8th, I turned 23. Hahahahahahaha. I don’t feel old though. Everyone else my age or slightly younger think that 23 is old. It is NOT. I’m not being defensive or anything. I just think I’m living for the day unlike a lot of people who are either stuck in the past or too freaked out about the future. So ha.

What else what else.

O ya. I quit my job. I was in it for less than a month. lol. Now where’s my money?! Hahaha. I wanna go to the Paramore concert, see. It’s in March and I’m REALLY excited to see those guys live. They’re awesome – one of my fave bands from the 2000s [I'm a '90s kid, see... especially when it comes to music, movies and TV].

Aaaaaand! I wrote a song! First for the year. Not to happy with it, but at least I’ve been writing again. I need more drive. Like I used to, years ago. Except… I don’t want to feel like I did during those times. Not anymore. I gotta move forward. You know the feeling where you seem to be inspired only when you’re down? I don’t want that anymore. It’s not healthy. Sure, sure, music is my therapy – but I don’t want to constantly feel down just so I can make music. I don’t want to always end up sabotaging relationships with all the people around me for the sake of writing. It’s not fair – not to them and not to myself.

On a positive note… I’m online a lot. At strange hours of the day. So if you feel the need to take a hold of me, I’m either in Facebook, Farmville, Tumblr, or Twitter. Don’t IM me, I’m barely on those things. Don’t call or text me, I’ve abandoned my phone. You could probably email me, but good luck finding out which email I’m using. Muwahahahaha.

Or I’ll be in front of the TV watching sitcom and cooking show reruns. Or asleep. HAHAHAHAHA.

PS: That is NOT my Post Secret up there. So relax, k?

about time I update this

July 29th, 2009 | FEU, Family, Friends, Life, Music, Sports, UST, Work

So it’s been what, a month? What’s up y’all? Riiight, like anyone still reads this besides my crazy former coworkers (that’s right, I’m onto you guys). lmfao

Hmm. Okay, first off I’m now officially jobless. HAHAHA. I like it, doing nothing for a while. Thinking of doing some freelance writing and/or SEO. I actually liked my former job… It’s the commute to & from the office that kinda killed me.

Next, family. Celebrated birthdays (my dad’s, my mom’s, then my sister’s) and father’s day all over the place. At home, at the mall, everywhere. Family time is love ;)

What else? Oh yeah. My social life. Been hanging out with a lot of friends & coworkers lately. Eating out & drinking with the latter, mostly. With friends, well let’s just say the DreamGirls are back in the UAAP ;)

Speaking of which… UST and FEU are doing amazing in said league. My Final Four picks for this season, in no particular order: UST, FEU, UE and ADMU. UST will emerge as the champion (sorry FEU pals, haha).

Music-wise, my iPod is nearly full! Really! I never thought I could fill up 30gigs of space with over 10 thousand songs plus a bunch of movies & videos. But I’m not buying a new one anytime soon. I could use a new mobile phone though… iPhone or BlackBerry? But I might buy a camera first, before I start buying a phone and a Macbook. Ah whatever. Come September I’ll be rich anyway ;)

I need inspiration… To write music, to watch UAAP basketball, to find work, to clean my room!

This is getting a little too long. Gots to go now. Byeee

PS: It’s my parents’ wedding anniversary on Friday. <333

new site look & new stuff

May 31st, 2009 | Friends, Love, Music, Rant, Site Updates, Sports, UST, Work

A few new things to notice about the site:

  • There’s Google ads. Hey, I need money too.
  • I changed the layout. I used a customizable WP theme.
  • The music page went berserk, for reasons I can’t explain. I need to fix it, hmp. It’s fixed! You may now head to the music page to listen to my songs.

So I went out with co-workers last Friday. CRAZY PEOPLE. You decide if that’s a good or bad thing. At one part of the night I felt violated. I’m not kidding. But there’s a bunch of pics, just check my Multiply site (link is at the left sidebar).

Yesterday I hung out a bit at the UST gym. A friend of mine (who’s also a varsity player), kept making fun of me. DUDE. That issue you’re forcing on me and your room mate is SO OVER. :( ( But it was all in good fun, haha.

After basketball practice, I watched a basketball game with a friend/co-worker. This guy on one of the teams, drove me crazy (in a good way, mind you). He was on his team’s bench, when he saw me and waved! Then after the game, he approached me, held my hand, then let it linger. I don’t know what that means, I don’t even know if it means ANYTHING at all. All I know is when I realized what happened, I was happy :love:
