Long time no blog. Not on purpose though. Busy busy busy. Presentations this coming Friday, Saturday and next Tuesday. If deadlines could kill, I'd be dead. But hey, last study semester. September begins the final lap. TEP followed up by IPP and after that, graduation.

I've got nothing else to say. So I'll just post up some videos. And a new song on my Muzicon.

Psychosocial by Slipknot



Heores of Our Time by DragonForce

So, it's been a bout 2 months since I moved out and into my granddad's place. Life's been cool. I've mellowed out. Though I still do not know the regularity with which the buses come. Thus I still tend to be late for school. That and the fact that I still can't seem to wake up on time.

All in all, my granddad's place still rules. As I said, this place houses a lot of history. 4 generations have a connection to this house and it feels good to be here knowing that I'm a part of that. And it's good to spend all this time with my granddad. He's in his early 90's and it's not very good to be alone at such an age. So I kinda feel there's a bit of reason as to why we are staying here at all.

There's also another great reason why I love this house. Well 2 actually. My granddad used to do a lot of gardening in the past and among other things that this house has, it has a coconut tree and a rambutan tree. Cool huh?








I took this pic above a week ago. They are ripe now and hang exactly outside the living room window behind my couch.

I found this cool website called Muzicons.com off of WebWare.com. It creates this simple widget for playing MP3s on your website or blog or even to post on a forum. What I liked about it the most was it's simplicity in customisation, something getting ever so impossible these days. My only gripe with the Muzicon widget is that it does not have an option to activate auto-play on load.

I posted a song on the sidebar by Mayday Parade called Jamie All Over. I've been listening to this song almost non-stop. It's a nice song that I got from the 2008 Warped Tour Compilation that I bought recently. Very upbeat and great vocals. I also like the meaning behind it. It speaks about 2 things: falling in love, though in dreams, and not wanting to let go of it. Sort of a simpler and more way to look at our fantasies. I actually feel that there is some overlapping notions in the song that I have experienced before, if you catch my drift. So yeah, just click play if you wanna listen in on what plays in my head.

Jamie All Over by Mayday Parade

I had a dream last night we
Drove out to see Las Vegas
We lost ourselves in the bright lights
I wish you could have seen us
Begging for change to get home
Or at least San Francisco
We put a ten on the high card
And spent a summer on the west coast

Down and to the left
(Here's a map and a pen, this place, let's point it out)
We can't live four years past
(All I ask, all I ask)

And please don't tell me that I'm dreamin'
When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with you
Fire all over
When it's over
I'll take this Cali sunrise with me
And wake up with the fondest memories

We made love by the ocean
As the waves crashed around you
The sunset's never were so bright
And the skies they were so blue
You opened up into my arms
And we laughed as I held you
I'll never go back to Georgia
Not at least 'till I have to

Down and to the left
(Here's a map and a pen, this place, let's point it out)
We can't live four years past
(All I ask, all I ask)

And please don't tell me that I'm dreamin'
When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with you
Fire all over
When it's over
I'll take this Cali sunrise with me
And wake up with the fondest memories
Memories

I had a dream last night we
Drove out to see Las Vegas
We lost ourselves in the bright lights

Please don't tell me that I'm dreamin'
When all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with you
Fire all over

I'll take this Cali sunrise with me
And wake up with the fondest memories

No more From Autumn to Ashes? Damn. They did not break up. Just an indefinite hiatus the band says. That sucks. I was really waiting for a new release from them. The only album from them I ever listened to was Holding a Wolf By The Ears. I never really listened to their old stuff mainly because their previous lead singer was a douchebag. And I prefer Francis Mark's lyricism. It's just very cryptic and serene all at the same time. That's why I love this band. You can't really bend your head around the origins of each song but it still packs meaning. It's just a different experience listening to these type of bands.

Deth Kult Social Club by From Autumn to Ashes

On the might of kings and captains
On the eyes of midnight watchmen
I know my hatred is perfect
For the culprit who deserves it

Dead meat against your broken bones
Thrown in a ditch to die alone
But there is no dream worth pursuing
When there is nobody embracing
And there is no war worth fighting
When there is no blood worth spilling

On the might of kings and captains
On the eyes of midnight watchmen
I know my hatred is perfect
For the culprit who deserves it

Dead meat against your broken bones
Thrown in a ditch to die alone
But there is no dream worth pursuing
When there is nobody embracing
And there is no war worth fighting
When there is no blood worth spilling

I know my hatred is pure for the new recruit
(one, two, three, go!)
Imposters on the fast track
To public execution
Beggars for mercy unite
But your pleas are ineffective
And if you ever come back
Beautiful incarnation
I'll lie down at your feet and
Accept my punishment
You better save yourself
You better save yourself
You better save yourself

But there is no dream worth pursuing
When there is nobody embracing
And there is no war worth fighting
When there is no blood worth spilling
There is no dream worth pursuing
When there is nobody embracing
And there is no war worth fighting
When there is no blood worth spilling

I guess the only replacement I can think up of is Vanna.

A Dead Language For a Dying Lady



As her insides, screaming, let me out
She speaks as if someone's in the room with her
(Someone sits quietly on the ceiling tile)
Still facing the corner with eyes gouged out
These tears of blood fall for blood is
All she's crying now

As he cuts into her chest, her heart beats on
She's just not giving up yet
Though blinded by the devil's touch
She rises above him
She floats towards the light, as the darkness recedes
(let me out, let me live again)
In this most desperate hour (she cries)
A most desperate hour...

In this crowded room
In this crowded room
In this crowded room
(with an empty view)
In this crowded room
In this crowded room

Save your goodbyes, we all know it's not the end
Save your goodbyes, we all know it's not the end
Save your goodbyes, we all know it's not the end
Save your goodbyes, we all know it's not the end
