Song of the Week! Update

Song of the Week will recommence soon! So stay tuned!!

Song of the Week!

Here's a short trip down memory lane! This week's song is "This I Promise You" by *NSYNC! I'm pretty sure this song will bring back memories, especially for those from the 90's!

Hope you'll like the pick of the week!

Song of the Week

The song featured this week is "Too Late" by Dead by Sunrise. Dead by Sunrise is Chester Bennington's (Linkin Park's lead vocalist) side project. When I first downloaded their debut album weeks ago (called Out of Ashes), I was surprised to hear his voice (at the time I didn't know he was part of it). Without fail, I love the songs in the album.

And so, here it is: Too Late by Dead by Sunrise!!

Song of the Week!

After such a long time, I'm finally continuing "Song of the Week!" The song featured is called Forever Love by DBSK.

During the funeral, when I looked at grandma lying peacefully in the coffin, this song played in my mind. It's such a nice song, yet I thought of it at that time - not sure if it's a good thing or not...


Anyways, DBSK's Forever Love is this week's Song of the Week!

Song of the Week!

Here's another 90's selection: "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You" by 'N Sync. I was listening to this song yesterday while getting ready for school and found myself humming it this morning!

I fell in love with this song when I first heard it in their Greatest Hits (and I still choose to skip to this track whenever I listen to the CD). Although the group disbanded years ago, 'N Sync remains as an old favourite of mine and I continue to listen to their songs to this day (along with old selections by Backstreet Boys, S Club 7 and Eiffel 65).

Enough said. God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You is the Song of the Week! Enjoy!

An End to My Lab Kit Problem?

Yesterday, friend E asked me to lend him my lab kit and this time, I said no...

I made that decision days before. I just couldn't stand it anymore, even thinking about it makes me pissed. Of course, to prevent him from going into my locker and "borrowing" it (which is stealing, but I'm assuming that he'll put it back after each use - a stupid assumption, but oh well..), I changed my lock.

When I rejected his request, he asked again, but I didn't budge. He questioned whether I trusted him or not and all I said was, "I've reached my limit and you have mine. I've had enough." About this time, the next class started to enter the classroom and he (quickly) went to a friend. I didn't bother to stick around and left the classroom. Whatever their conversation was about obviously didn't grant him a lab kit because he asked for it at my locker and questioned once again if I trusted him. Without saying a word, I closed my locker and chatted with a few friends about the experiment. By the time our conversation ended, friend E still sat on the hallway perpendicular to my locker and was late for his next class.

As I went downstairs to the cafeteria, I started to feel bad and more or less guilty. It felt like I wasn't helping a friend in need. A part of me knew I was doing the right thing, but why does it have to feel like this? To be engulfed with guilt? I resisted my every nerve from travelling upstairs to check up on him because I knew I would suffer from indescribable consequences if I do. I told myself to stay strong and endured the overwhelming guilt.

I forced myself to think of more practical worries: my partnership with him in Organic Chemistry labs. I still have to work with him as partners and it would be fairly impossible to switch with someone. I started to wonder how I would record his observations, as the experiment is often split between partners to save time. With this conflict, I couldn't imagine how our partnership will turn out and more importantly, this could be the end of our friendship.

It's too late to worry now. I've already made this move, and there's no turning back. I'll just have to take everything as it comes, even if it means all at once!

All Fixed!!

The error is now fixed! Enjoy!

My Apologies

I just noticed that the song "Bailamos" is not playing. I'll get it fixed ASAP!

Song of the Week!

Here's an old favourite from the good old 90's, Bailamos (bailamos means we/let's dance in Spanish I believe) by Enrique Iglesias. I remember listening to this song on the radio and watching the MV on television during my childhood years.

Whenever I listen this song, I often have a tendency to get up and dance with the music. Perhaps it's the rythm and beat and because of this feature, I usually listen to it when I need to perk up a bit while taking a break from studying or when I'm feeling down.

Hopefully this song will bring out the cheerful side within you whenever you listen to it - regardless! Enjoy!

Song of the Week!

The Song of the Week is "Rainy Night" by DBSK member Xiah Junsu. This song stayed in my mind since the first time I heard it (months ago) and became one of my all-time favourites. In this song, you'll be able to hear Junsu's voice to its full extent and to tell the truth, it's quite impressive (to myself at least).

Hope you'll like the song as much as I do! Enjoy!

Song of the Week!

While I waited for the bus last night, I naturally hummed the tune of the song "Insufficient Love" by Raymond Lam. The thoughts of the "mysterious him" and the fun things we did in high school slowly flowed into my mind as well. The memories made me smile and I thought to myself, "He will always be a great friend," and it's not just him, I will always treasure all my friends from high school. Never will that change.

Enough said, Raymond Lam's "Insufficient Love"(or Love with No Regrets) is this week's Song of the Week!

Song of the Week!

The Song of the Week is "Dōshite Kimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimattandarō?" (Why Did I Fall in Love with You?) by Korean boy band DBSK (and yes, the song is sung in Japanese)! I wrote an entry about the song three weeks ago (called Something to Think About: The Fear of Rejection) and so I figured that it would be a good idea to share it in this blog! Besides, I love this song!

I'm also going share its MV to introduce the group (in case you're not familiar with them) and to allow you to understand the lyrics with the English translations.

Hope you like it. Enjoy!

Something New!!

Yesterday, I had my first math class and it didn't seem that bad, at least for now. The teacher seemed pretty nice and we were dismissed half an hour early. Although I was exhausted by the time I came home, I was able to do (part of) my homework and arrive to my 8:30am class on time!

So, what's this new thing I'm adding to this blog? It's called "Song of the Week!" Every Wednesday, I'll post a song here and share it with everyone...at least that's what I plan to. There might be times when the same song is labeled as the "Song of the Week" for two or more consecutive weeks (I do have a busy class schedule and will have lots of homework!). So please bear with me!

The first Song of the Week is Linkin Park's "Leave Out All the Rest." I was listening to music while I was doing on my homework last night (a habit I developed during high school) and this song caught my immediate attention (to an extent where I was humming it while travelling to school).

Hope you like it! Enjoy!

P.S. Pay close attention to its lyrics - it's actually the main reason why I chose it as the Song of the Week!

Should I? Or Should I Not?

When the biology lecture ended today, Teresa came up to me and apologized for what she said to me two days ago. I got pissed off at the sight of her and so I simply waved her away as I walked past her towards the exit. I know that was a fairly rude gesture, but somehow I don't feel guilty for my rudeness (as I usually do in normal situations) because deep inside I felt that she deserved it.

Afterwards, I told friend C (from "The Events So Far" entry) about what happened in the lecture room and apparently, she was a bit surprised. As we all know, Teresa is not a person who would ever admit her faults, not to mention apologize for them. Then I asked friend C something that lingered in my mind at the time: should I accept Teresa's apology? All friend C said was, "It's up to you." Not being too pleased with her response, I asked her what she would do if it happened to her. Unfortunately, she didn't know, nor could she imagine it. Knowing how bothered I am by the situation, she helped me sort out what has happened during the school year.

During the first semester, all was peaceful and everyone was happy. However, things changed once the second semester began. Including the insult, Teresa has thrown me her attitude/insults for a total of FOUR times, excluding the COUNTLESS "mean" jokes she's said to me, and to be honest, the mean jokes are more rude and insulting than they are mean. Teresa is someone who expects others to let go of the mean jokes she says but takes them seriously (and I mean extremely seriously) when said to her and (as friend C pointed out) she tends to fire her insults at me (and not so much to the others). I guess it's because she knows that I don't take the mean jokes seriously, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to accept them on a daily basis.

As I'm typing this entry, I remember a phrase from a pledge that all the students at my junior high had to memorize: "I am responsible for my own actions" and it's true. Everyone is responsible for what they say and do, and there are NO exceptions. Having that said, I don't think I should accept her apology. There is NO way I'm going to take another crap from her, and I shouldn't. Besides, she IS responsible for what she said, and therefore, she should endure the consequences. She should learn that nothing in this world is bound to go her way, nor is it obligated to take her attitude - especially in the working world.

Whether she learns her lesson or not, it is no longer my problem, and it wasn't supposed to from the start. There is absolutely NO way I'm going to be friends with her, nor am I going to take another crap from ANYONE, and she's no different.

Is It Worth It?

March Break had come to an end and all I did were four things: eat, sleep, homework and study. Thank goodness to the a few hours of TV or else I would have melted under the pressure! And believe me, two tests, of which I'm not too confident about, in a row with only a day to separate them...that's what I'll definitely call pressure!

After I got off the bus from school today, I saw a couple, hand in hand, walking from the direction of the library towards the neighbourhood shopping mall. It was a close friend of mine and her boyfriend. I didn't walk over, nor did I called for her attention - I just walked on the other side of the road, pretending to have not seen them. It's not nice to interrupt their sweetness! As I walked home, I smiled and wished them eternal happiness.

It's actually a very fortunate thing to be able to be with the person you like, if not love. I, unfortunately, don't have that opportunity. You may find it silly, but I never thought of telling him how I felt. Instead, I fear that if I told him, our friendship would end. I just don't want to him say, "I'm sorry, but I only thought of you as a friend. Nothing more." If he does (and I'm pretty sure he would), I know that I won't have the courage to face him ever again and I'll definitely avoid him. Perhaps you will think of me as a coward, but who's to judge? I don't mind him not knowing about it. Although I'm able to maintain our friendship, is the pain really worth it?

Currently, the songs: "Insufficient Love," "Why Did I Fall in Love with You?" and "Rainy Night" all describe how I've been feeling all this time. "Insufficient Love" always makes me cry. I guess it's because of the "let go" part!

I actually summed up a lot of courage to include this post in my blog. I hope that I won't regret for ever posting this entry in the future. If I do, I'm pretty sure that I will not just remove this post, I might even remove my entire blog or worse yet, close my account. I just hope that day will never come.
