I need to get a better camera.

OH MY GOSH.
I'm really excited right now because I just made a video!!
Oh yeah!

There is one problem to the video. Actually, two.
1. It's in really bad quality.
2. Camera/camcorders make my voice sound.... bleh.

It would be nice if I got a super cool microphone. 

So please don't judge me on the really messed up quality and ESPECIALLY on my voice. I sound better live. Haha.

Click here and you will find the lyrics. :)

You know what's also cool. This blog has been viewed 1,000 times.

Feedback is appreciated, as always.

LEGIT STUFF. RIGHT HERE.

My friends have got me addicted to this. Isn't it amazing? The video is just too cool, like with all the boxes and scenes and stuff.

Sam Tsui and Christina Grimmie are legit. I love their voices. So strong and powerful, yet soft and smooth. Omg, I'm obsessed.

Did you know that Christina Grimmie is going on tour with Selena Gomez and Allstar Weekend?
NOW YOU KNOW. :)

Check out more of Sam Tsui and his producer Kurt Schneider's videos here: http://www.youtube.com/user/KurtHugoSchneider#p/u/1/n1p74Isbcgc

Oh, oh, oh and Christina Grimmie's videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/zeldaxlove64

They also write their own songs too! Which is always awesome. :)

Speaking of original songs, I better started on writing more songs. Haha.

Mani's Challenge.

I. HAVE. A. BRILLIANT. IDEA.

I found a notebook and on the cover it's says "Inspire." So, I just came with an awesome idea that I should write quotes in it. Every day, for at least a year I will write a quote (whether it's my own, song lyrics or a famous quote) and jot it down in my notebook. If, for some change I don't get to write in my notebook that day, write it separately and then add the quote in along with the date. I am challenging myself.

I have to make some sort of commitment. I mean, seriously? Every time I commit myself to something (mostly in writing) I basically never finish. Remember my so called novel? Yeah. I haven't worked on that in a month or something.


Aren't I amazing? ;)

A Music Freak's Life

Sundays. Boring, boring Sundays.
Well, for me that is.

I've had a pretty interesting weekend. The best part: it's a 4-day weekend. 

Friday: did nothing. literally.
Saturday: Went to a singing audition. Meh, didn't make it. Oh well. Also went to a barbecue.
Sunday: Friend's coming over. Oh yeah. :)

It may seem like it's really nothing much, but trust me. That's my life. :)
A music freak's life.

Sad Song. How Wonderful

I wrote another half song. It's quite sad.
I have no story to tell you today, other than that I'm excited that I have a 4-day weekend! Awesome sauce.

Here goes the song.

I'm trying to get out,
Of the mess I made.
I hope I can find out,
I can find out a way.

I'm lost in the dark,
Silence screams loud.
There's no one to save me,
Catch me from falling down.

I know I'm stuck, I've been left alone,
To solve my problems on my own.
I need to figure out how to fix this,
Without broken promises.

But I need someone to tell me,
Am I crazy?
Am I lost in my mind?
I need someone to believe me,
And even see,
That maybe I'm alright.
I've got to find a way,
To get out the mess,
And I hope that,
Maybe it'll get fixed.
So just tell me, tell me, just tell me.

I Fell Out of a Kayak

So I went camping with my class. FOR 5 DAYS.
That is a big deal for me since I am not much of a camper and I have to say...

I WANT TO BE BACK.

5 days felt like nothing. It was an amazing time. It couldn't be better.

Well, if only I didn't fall out of a kayak and it didn't rain while I was rock climbing.
All is well.

I miss it so much. My friends and I have made so many inside jokes. It's legit.

I spent almost a week without writing a song. That's creepy.

I'm going to try to write a song on the top of my head.

Yeah, I will.

I will write a song.

I will write a song.

I will keep saying I will write a song on the top of my head.

I will try to write a song when I write my next post.

Okie Dokie. :)

No Hot Water In the House// MOMMY DAY

My friend's little sis was showing me some fairy wings. I think I've gone blind. They're so pink! Like hot pink!
Now, if that isn't bright, then I don't know what is.

I honestly have nothing to say here today, mainly because I'm really tired and bored. I also don't have my songbook with me at the moment.

Want to hear the story of my life? It implies to the title.

Yesterday, luckily I took a shower in the morning, but when my mom took a shower, cold water started coming out.

NO. HOT. WATER.

So we basically spent like 5 minutes trying to find the hot water in every sink and shower we had. Turns out we didn't have any hot water and no one was going to fix it.

Why? It's the weekend. No one fixes appliances on the weekend. That's just sad.

Basically, I was stuck at my friend's house and I took a shower there. At least I got hot water. Hopefully some guy will fix it for us soon.

ALSO, It's Mother's Day.

Guess what I did? I didn't do the cheesy make-breakfast-in-bed thing. I gave my mom a card, and we're going to go out to eat. That's how awesome we are.

Actually, I also wrote a whole page of cheesy "heartfelt" random scramble of words. Also known as sentences in the card. I dunno why, I just felt like it. :)

Well, I love my mom and that's all that matters... right?
Even though I do annoy her sometimes. :D

My Capo is a Lifesaver!!

Why is it, you may ask?
WHAT is a capo, is probably the most common question. Correct? Yes.

A capo is sort of a clamp thingy (my awesome use of vocabulary) used on a guitar, it's placed on the frets to change the key. (or the sound of the guitar.)
You can still play the same chords but, it sounds different... yet COOLER.
Here's a better definition of a capo. --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capo

Wikipedia is great.

Anyway, I LOVE LOVE LOVE my capo. It allows me to play random Lady Gaga songs easily. haha.
I also play other songs too, no worries. It's fun too, because every time you clamp it on a different fret, it sounds different, therefore, it's fun to play around with all the chords because they sound cool.

I mean, seriously. Before capo = BORING guitarist.
                           After capo= AWESOME guitarist. :)

You get my point. Besides, it's fun to play famous songs. It's much easier with a capo.

Tino loves my capo too. :)

I Finally Laid My Hands on My Songbook

FINALLY! I finished my project. Turns out, it was better than I expected. :)
I mean, the downside was that I had to lug Tino all around my school (and my school is pretty big) but my friend's fought over Tino because they wanted to carry him.

Long story short: My teacher was impressed. :) That's what I really care about.

I finally wrote some lines for a song. It's been a while since I actually opened my songbook and wrote. Guess I've been too busy with my project.

"Here I am, waiting for a wave,
To push it out, push away the pain.
It's harder than you think, to have a smile on your face."

Yeaaaaaaah. That's all I got.
Haha. Writer's Block perhaps?

OH AND DID I MENTION... for another project (English) we have to write songs about "The Diary Of Anne Frank."
^In my opinion, that is a very inspirational story. I recommend it. It's a very good read.

NOW THAT'S MY KIND OF PROJECT.

It's funny because we were asked if our partners were to be chosen randomly or we get to pick. We all wanted our partners to be chosen randomly... well... because... we all like each other. We're a very good and co-operative class. ;)
When our teacher mentioned that we're writing songs, all heads turned to me.. and then the class wanted to pick partners.

Luckily I was paired up with one of my best friends.
Life is good.. so far. :)
