Music I can't stop listening to

If there is one artist I just can not stop listening to, it would have to be Beyonce. Well, particularly her I Am...Sasha Fierce CD. My favorites are:

• Halo - It fit quite well to my personality and my views on falling in love. I have this thinking that I have built a huge wall around me and it would take a strong force to destroy that wall.
• Disappear - "When I think about it, I know that I was never there...I tried to reach for you. I could almost feel you you're nearly here and then you disappear." This is my song for my past relationships (as if there are so many!) and the future ones.
• Sweet Dreams - It's just so funky and, well, danceable!
• Smash Into You - It's quite similar to Dave Matthews Band's Crash Into Me, I think. This is what I listen to when I'm in a melancholy mood, wishing there's someone whom I can smash into, figuratively speaking.
• Hello - Hahaha just like the famous line from Jerry Maguire. It's all about falling for the guy not because of any bling served on a silver platter but because of well, just being himself.
• Ego - Well, just like Sweet Dreams, it's so funky and upbeat. And I like listening to this when I'm about to get into something challenging. It boosts my uhm, ego! HAHHAHAHA!

That's basically about Beyonce. I have had the CD (which Reyg gave to me) since January 1 and I still listen to it. I actually feel bad 'cause she didn't hold her concert here. So I will just purchase the I am...concert DVD which took place in Vegas.

If there is one CD I listen to for energy, it's definitely Black Eyed Peas's The E.N.D CD. Definitely worth listening to especially if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and you have to start your day ASAP! Hahahaha! My favorites would be Ring-A-Ling, Meet Me Halfway, and Now Generation.

Sia's Breathe Me is also one favorite. But I don't like some of her songs. When it has been a long and tiring day (which is often the case now that I'm in Araneta), I like listening to Songs of the Siren CD or Enya's Watermark CD. It actually helps listening to Enya because there was a time when I was on my way home so tired and was listening to BEP, and it felt like I was gonna have a heart attack. I switched to Enya and felt relaxed right away!

Of course, Kamikazee is another favorite, not just because my cousin is the guitarist, but because they're just so funny and talented. I also like Up Dharma Down, if you're asking about local faves.

Have to go 'cause I need to charge my Zune. Don't want to be music-less tomorrow! Find your own zen...mine's my zune and my music. It helps me prepare for the coming day and end my day with less stress...

Christmas

Tired. Tired. Tired. Christmas is in the air. Christmas is everywhere. Christmas means heavy traffic anywhere you go especially on a payday Friday.

I planned to make a blog about Christmas rush but my mom is in my room and trying to make a funny imitation of the PLDT repairman who replaced our modem this morning. I can't finish this anymore... It's just so distracting. Mama is just sooooo funny!

TWILIGHT SAGA: New Moon

So...have you seen the recent addition to the Twilight franchise? I have.

I have read the books before. I was planning to review New Moon but I did not have the chance due to the big flood that damaged all my four books. (Here I am ranting again about my Twilight books!)

Ok, about the movie. I am not saying I did not like it. It's really almost like the book minus some minor details, but that's really expected right? It started off with that dream scene with the older Bella which was really how I imagined it. The wolves were more than I expected. It was a great movie!

What disappointed me, though, was that the actors seemed like they did not give it their best shot. I did not "feel" Bella's grief. I did not see Edward's sadness. Maybe they thought that standing there expressionless would make the audience think that they were really sad. It's just so disappointing.

And Jacob, in the book, seemed all arrogant and sure of himself. But it all changed in the movie. It seemed to me that he's the one we should take pity on when in fact what he's really trying to do is break up the great love story between Bella and Edward.

But generally speaking, I liked the movie. I'm not asking for a change of actors...but a change in the actors. Maybe they could put more life into the movie. I sure hope it could happen in Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Goooosh I can't wait!
