A Favorite Song From The Cranberries

The Cranberries is a popular band for those born during the '90s and I am not an exemption. Of all the songs they performed, Ode To My Family is my favorite and I don't exactly know why (*laughs*) - musicality maybe? Anyway here is it...

I also put here its lyrics (courtesy of www.azlyrics.com) in case you wanna sing along. :))


Ode To My Family
by The Cranberries

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo...

Understand the things I say, don't turn away from me,
'Cause I've spent half my life out there, you wouldn't disagree.
Do you see me? Do you see? Do you like me?
Do you like me standing there? Do you notice?
Do you know? Do you see me? Do you see me?
Does anyone care?

Unhappiness where's when I was young,
And we didn't give a damn,
'Cause we were raised,
To see life as fun and take it if we can.
My mother, my mother,
She hold me, she hold me, when I was out there.
My father, my father,
He liked me, oh, he liked me. Does anyone care?

Understand what I've become, it wasn't my design.
And people ev'rywhere think, something better than I am.
But I miss you, I miss, 'cause I liked it,
'Cause I liked it, when I was out there. Do you know this?
Do you know you did not find me. You did not find.
Does anyone care?

Unhappiness where's when I was young,
And we didn't give a damn,
'Cause we were raised,
To see life as fun and take it if we can.
My mother, my mother,
She hold me, she hold me, when I was out there.
My father, my father,
He liked me, oh, he liked me.

Does anyone care?... [X9]
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo...

The Beatles: A New Fave of Mine

Yes they are so popular to their fans (haha true for every artists with fans, I guess)! The Beatles, an English rock band, became a favorite of mine since last summer (summer 2012) of course by the influence of my father who is fond of watching old music in Youtube. I was even convinced to leave my lovely Walkman player at home and fill with the songs that they wanted - so to cut our electricity bill significantly (playing music on PC vs. on handheld player).
Okay, here is one of their album in Youtube. 

Of course there's a lot more of their songs in Youtube. I also recommend the medley revival of some of their songs performed by Stars On 45. Happy watching/listening!

Life After School

Before school was innocence in a joyful world only a child knows. We can only wish we never grow up, perhaps our parents too wished we stayed little and cute but ageing is an inevitable part of life.
I'm not saying school ain't fun, in fact it is so much fun! Try to remember when you were in nursery, kindergarten, prep, elementary, and high school. I bet you've had a lot of fun! But it is not easy to finish school, it takes time, money, patience, and a lot of hardships to finish a degree, at least in a decent school. For an average student, one has to work harder to survive college.
If you were to ask me about my school experience, I would say I wished I could stay at school forever or maybe for a little bit more. Yes I can go to school as often as I wanted but that's not the only thing to worry about these days - after school. At first I thought everything would become easier once I graduate; get some job, find a lifetime partner, earn some cash, buy things, live happy until my dying days. But now that I'm at it (time), I realized how ideal my thinking was back at school. Ha! Anyways I guess I'm still at the boundary and it's a rough ride. Life after school is all about missing school.

P.S. This is such a non-sense post, forgive me I'm too sleepy for this one. :))

How does it look?

"sitaw": the background of my blog

It doesn't seem like it, but believe it or not, it is the string bean (sitaw as we call it in Tagalog). I guess the autofocus system of my camera phone do not support macro focusing below 10cm resulting to the out-of-focus close-up image above. But hey! using some creative effects, I found that the image was a perfect background for my blog.
