This category is tough since I don't have a "consistent" favorite band. But I have always loved these bands and these songs from them.

The Real Slim Shady
by Eminem


Actually, it's not really a secret that I adore Eminem (yes, until now). But knowing every word to this rap song, considering that I loathe hiphop, is another thing. Way back in high school, I used to print out the lyrics of his every song and memorized it while I played his music on my cassette.


Never Ever
by All Saints.


Yes, every word, every pause, even the accent, even the change in voices. :D

Love You More Today Than Yesterday
by Goldfinger.


07.07.08, Rj's 21st birthday.
Surprise birthday party prepared by his family.
The first time we danced. And yes, to this tune.
And yes, the first and last dance we ever had.
We wondered why his cousins played this song. We never told anybody that this was "our" song.
First time I've listened to this song after 1 year and 9 months.
And just amazing, this post has to fall on the SEVENTH day.

And... Today is the 17th.

Series of fortunate (?!) coincidences? Hmmm

Adventureland.

I couldn't pick just one song because there are a lot of songs that make me cry even for no apparent reason. Sometimes it depends on the lyrics, sometimes on the tune or melody of the song. Even happy songs turn out sad for me because it makes me remember good memories or significant events with important people whom I've lost somehow.

Endless, A Silent Whisper
by Urbandub.


I particularly remember frequently visiting Anya's Friendster profile as Benjo left for Canada some 2 years ago. This song was playing on background while they were exchanging bittersweet comments about making their complicated LDR work.


With Or Without You
by U2.


If you watched the sitcom FRIENDS, you will know that this song was played when Ross and Rachel broke up. I could relate very well to Ross and Rachel because while I was watching this episode, I was also nursing a broken heart. Also, I chose this video because it gives me the shivers when Bono laid on the stage with that lovely girl and serenaded her with this song. This makes me so envious that I wouldn't actually mind how old Bono is. I want this song be sang for me too. :(


Somewhere Out There.


This song played repeatedly on my MP3 when Janjan left. :(


Almost Lover
by A Fine Frenzy


For Kiko, may you RIP. I miss you all the time.


Skyline Drive
by Mae


Just listen to it...

Woohoo!

Together In Electric Dreams
by Phil Oakley

I just love listening to New Wave, it makes me feel young and carefree.



Song 2
by Blur.

Woohoo! This song gets me in the mood for anything extreme or fun. It makes me giddy and excited. :D



Fake Tales Of San Francisco
by Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys music makes me want to sing in a British accent.


I Took The Plunge!

Up until this very moment, I still couldn't believe that I did jump off from that cliff. I know it's not that high enough but being what I consider myself a "weakling", I am proud of myself for being brave enough to let go of my feet from the rock and take the plunge. If you knew me well, I am not the kind of person who would take such risks. I don't have fear from heights but what scares me most is that I might hurt myself or drown or lose my consciousness when I hit the water. Plus, I didn't know how to swim! But I thought that if I wouldn't do it, I would be the person who would go home, regretting not taking the risk. So I made myself calm and jumped. And here I am now, so happy for making that decision. :)

I'm so fucking tired and all I ever ever want is someone to take care of me, help me take off my shoes and socks while I'm slumped on the sofa after an exhausting 8 hour night shift duty. Someone who'd get me a warm drink that would somehow put me to sleep but would remind me to take a half bath first and brush my teeth because I usually forget (in extreme exhaustion). And when I am ready to hit the sheets, it would lovely for someone to turn the AC on and tuck me in the blankets, massage my head and kiss me in the forehead and promise to be there, with a scrumptious lunch when I open my eyes.

And when it does, I won't be there. :)

One day soon it's going to happen to you and when it does, it won't be pretty.
