Day 14 – Memories: Been to any concerts?

We’re almost halfway! I quite like this entry because it’s going to make me re-live some awesome moments. I haven’t been to a lot of concerts but I can say I’ve seen my favorites live.. two music acts that belong in completely different genres: Incubus and 2PM. I saw Incubus in 2008 with my best friends in Jakarta, and I saw 2PM live twice, both in 2011. First was with my best friend, and the second time was during their full fledged concert in Jakarta with my sister and this was the most I’ve ever paid for a concert. Worth. Every. Penny. There’s something about K-pop stage production that blows you away. The amount of work and effort and thought they put into it better than worth it in itself. Incubus, there’s even no need to mention what it’s like seeing your favorite band from 6th grade (up to now) live and singing ALL YOUR FAVORITE songs. My first and forever love. Brandon Boyd and his voice. Jose on the drums. Mike and being his …

Day 11 – Your favorite: 10 songs right now

The entry is obviously “right now” and this could change tomorrow, next week. Basically, these are the tracks that I’m currently enjoying and that comes to mind immediately. The last one is also the EDM song that I will always enjoy because it never fails to make me dance. In no particular order except for no. 1, this is my list: Tokimonsta feat. Anderson Paak – Realla [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/158979054″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /] Meghan Trainor – All About That Bass The Vamps – Can We Dance? Kanye West – Bound 2 Clean Bandit – Rather Be (feat. Jess Glynne) Royksopp & Robyn – Do It Again Ariana Grande – Break Free (feat. Zedd) Sam Smith – Stay With Me Tove Lo – Habis (Stay High) / Stay High (Habits Remix) Route 94 – My Love (feat. Jess Glynne) TJR & Vinai – Bounce Generation  

Day 2 – Meaning of your blog name?

This is easy, since I explained it in my About page. Otherworldly comes from the lyrics of Incubus’ song Warning, that’ goes like this: Bat your eyes girl, be otherworldly.. count your blessings, seduce a stranger. What’s so wrong with being happy? Kudos to those who see through sickness, yeah. I decided to make it my blog name because I wanted it to have a significance to my favorite band, as well as something that’s not too me or too predictable. I also patterned it with a hyphen to match my Incu-sisters’—Anna, who owns so-stellar.org and Keng (my host!) who owns turb0-geek.org—domain names that also have something to do with our favorite band. I’m going to be honest and say that other-worldly.org was really thought-out back in the day but what I made sure of was that even though down the line I would lose all my sense of attachment to Incubus, this would still be a domain name that I would like regardless of its initial conception. Fast forward a few years later, I …

Take a Walk

Life’s been a great ride these past few weeks and months, and I will have time to write all about it. In the meantime, here’s Passion Pit’s new amazing single Take A Walk. I’m so glad they’re back.

The 2PM Experience

Related Post: 2PM, Finally! It’s taking me a while to come up with a decent blog post about my experience during last Friday’s 2PM concert, because I don’t know where to start. My word vomits about my experiences during that night have all been spewed on both my twitter accounts and told to friends who have been asking me about my experience but there’s just something about actually coming up with the right words to say in a blog post that’s so hard. It’s Tuesday as I currently write this but I have no idea when it will be published (FRIDAY!).. so I’m just forcing myself to just write so I don’t have to torture myself on how to come up with the entry for this blog. I know a lot of my online friends aren’t K-pop fans, and I didn’t get into K-pop until late 2009, where I already established a place in the internet as a blogger (who had no knowledge about K-pop and was a rock chick at heart) in both tumblr …
