I FOUND A NEW OBSESSION!!

Well, I never realized this until now but I can write songs with my iPod touch. (yes, I have one... just like almost everyone has one nowadays...) See, I use my notes app and when I don't have my notebook with me, (which is almost impossible... but I am saying, WORST-CASE-SCENARIO) I use it to type my song. It not like I don't use my notes app, it's just that I never used it for writing my lyrics. It's a new fad! Haha :)

I am deeply sorry if that paragraph bored you but I get extremely excited by the littlest things. Now, maybe I wont have to keep my notebook with me everywhere... but I still like writing songs the old fashioned way- PAPER AND PENCIL. (or pen, perhaps?)

Here is another little thing that I got overly excited about...
MY INFLATABLE ELECTRIC GUITAR!!! YAY!!!

My best friend saw this little package of plastic and opened it up and found that it was supposed to be a guitar... so I decided to blow it up and see what it looks like. It looks pretty awesome. (If I do say so myself... haha)

There are days where I sit and sit... and come up with nothing.

This is one of those days.

Although, I spent last night writing a song up until 1:30 AM.
I'm not yet finished and I didn't come up with a title. I got mostly the first two verses done. I got distracted because I was listening to some music on my iPod and I had these super awesome sparkly gel pens and I started to doodle with them!! :D I have this page (or two) devoted entirely of doodles. :)

Because... if I get stuck on a song, then I can start to doodle. It keeps me thinking. (Hey, did you know that it's good to doodle? Haha. I wrote an essay about it... quite interesting...)

So, here it is.

"I've been thinking all day,
What's in my life.
I want to move forward,
But I go back in time.

Back to the past,
I want to fix my mistakes.
I know it wont happen,
So I learn each day.

I keep thinking about whats going on.
I need to think about moving on."

This is what I got so far and I hope I can finish it because I have a feeling it might end up being one of my best songs. ;)

Poetry... Guitars... what else?

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!

Anyways, let's talk about... um... ah ha! POETRY!!!

Poetry is quite similar to lyrics. They have syllables and beats and you can say them in any tune. That's where I get my lyrics from. Some of my lyrics have evolved from poems.

Writing poems may seem very hard for some people, but for others, (such as MOI) it's not that hard. You just need to practice and work on them.

Oh My Gosh! I have not played my guitar in so long! I cannot believe it! It seems like ages... I missed it so much. It has been like a week and a half or something like that. So today, I decided to get my guitar out and play it... and luckily I came up with chords and melodies for some of my old songs. I have to tell you, it wasn't easy. It took me a while but I am glad I accomplished that task... I wasn't procrastinating this time. Haha...

I'll post new songs soon. I hope I haven't been boring you yet. ;)

Just another night... just another post...

Apparently I don't have my song book with my at this moment (unfortunately) and I cannot think of a song at the top of my head.

My mind is empty...

I just thought I would post something because it had been a while.

How is everyone doing? I am doing great.
I am currently writing a lot of new songs and working on the background music.
I am still practicing my piano... and guitar... and of course... warming up my singing voice.

I just hope that I haven't bored you to death. Haha

I'll post new songs soon. :)
