GD&TOP Knocks Diplo Out Dumbfoundead

I’ve been a follower of Diplo’s remixes (given that I know and love the song) ever since I listened to his remix of Britney’s Circus about 2 years ago. I remember listening to that track so many times I think I preferred it over the original. Since then I’ve been on the lookout for his remixes, especially when he did Flashing Lights in Kanye’s Sky High remix album, and of course, the DFX remix of M.I.A’s Paper Planes in the Slumdog soundtrack, which added so much flavor to the already awesome song. Fast forward about a year or two, I started getting into k-pop (much to my own surprise) and have been an avid enthusiast for one year now. GD & TOP, 2 of heavyweight group Big Bang‘s rappers released a collab rap album late last year and gave it a new flavor to the apparently vapid manufactured k-pop sound by describing their music as “ghetto electro” which, you guessed it, rhymes done in electro music. I loved almost all of the songs from the …

The Big Fat Honesty Post

I was browsing through my old emo livejournal posts and look what I found! A big fat honesty post in which with all honesty I’m going to repost it because honestly, the ones I’m going to post are still honestly the same. This was dated back in November 14, 2007 and I just realized not much has changed around me, but at the same time, things definitely have. Me: I’ve been feeling so empty nowadays. I don’t have inspiration anymore. As much as I want to shout out how I feel, I can’t! I’m not usually the kind of person to bottle up feelings and such, but this time I’ve really felt that I’ve changed. I can’t seem to express what I feel in words anymore, I can’t tell the whole world what I seem to be feeling. I need to go out there and find myself. What I really want in life, where I want to go and what I want to do. Family: They’ve been having their share of rough moments these past …

Not on WordPress

Being new here at work I’m still a little bit shy when it comes to browsing websites when I’m idle. Unlike my previous job, the cubicles were big so the computers were covered but in this one it’s a bit more on the lower side so people can see what you’re doing on the computer (that is, if they have time to look–everyone seems so busy here). This office is also much more bigger compared to the old one, there were only a maximum of 6 in the department and now I’m in an office of 20 all spread out. It’s a huge difference.. so I’m trying out this application which enables me to post entries not from the web browser. Hitting “publish” after this. I really love this new theme I have. It’s white, it’s minimal.. it has my favorite fonts (Georgia for header, Arial/Helvetica for the content). I added a bit of color but I’m probably going to edit this more in the future, not too many changes just suited to my style. …

Body Clock Blues

Like many of you out there, I too, have a love/hate relationship with my body clock. Particularly this week, things didn’t start out so nice. I’ve been droopy all day since yesterday plus it’s my third week in the new office and I’m still not used to the 7:30am time in. Wack! I actually wake up at the same time even with my previous job but this office is much nearer so I don’t really have time to steal sleep in the car anymore whereas on my way to the old office I would get stuck for about 2-3 hours on the road coz of highway traffic so I still had a bit of shut-eye time. Asleep or not asleep though, traffic is always a bitch. What’s frustrating me right now is that the moment I get home I can’t sleep straight away because I’m always subconsciously finding something to do and it seems like my body only wants to sleep early in the morning. It’s ridiculous. So I still end up sleeping late. Those …

Happy New Year!

I’m five days late in posting a new year greeting but it’s not too late until the month ends =P My holidays were nicely spent. It wasn’t the greatest, but it certainly wasn’t a bad one at all. My friends from the Philippines and Australia and the US all came back so there were lots of reunions and good old hangouts, basically just everyone getting together again after a while. I wanted to make an photo entry about all the December events but being the lazy photo uploader that I am I’ll probably have to prioritize that for another time. The downside is of course all the holiday weight you put on, that’s why I’ve been keeping track of my workouts rather than doing it on my own time, time for improvement right? I don’t really want to say change because I can’t simply rely on “change” anymore, rather it’s better to go through a phase which results in change, and in my case, improvement. I’m starting to NOT make sense now, haha. I’m not …
