5.30 on a Tuesday afternoon

So today was filled with work and yes, music.  I've decided that I will go on a limb and change it up here, and post music that was my soundtrack for the day.

Chronologically, the sounds went like this :)

Of course the BEATLES:



Then there was this duo that I love:




Then this afternoon I saw THIS (THE XX streaming their new album online) but I haven't listened to it completely... Steady sounds for the beginning of the afternoon :)

Then this mix is fantastic. Way to end my working day :) Please do click on it, and there is a mediafire download for your continuing listening pleasure :)

Hope your day has been as musical as mine!!!

Oh yeah, the boyfriend and I are coming up with a blog that is full of our notes :)  Should be fun :D

Sunday Afternoon

Today I'm taking a break from fighting back writing deadlines... one article in particular I should be in the process of editing. Suffice it to say that I'm nowhere near editing.

So whilst I wait for my water to get hot before I brew some coffee, I decided to tell you about my trip to Singapore and about some stuff I've seen online.

YAY! :) So, we went to Singapore and saw STUFF. Lots of STUFF :)  Stuff like this lady:

If you don't know who this is, well... I dunno if I should tell you. *sigh* I've had a girl crush on her for a good 16 years.  Her name is Shirley Manson and before she ever played a Terminator on TV, she was my 16 year old self's answer to girl power.  She sang about dark, deep stuff, singing things I never thought I could say out loud, or indeed, could not have be able to define.  And why I've always wanted to have red hair. I realise now that it is all because of HER.  NO joke. 

And I got her set list.  My boyfriend has a weird picture of me clutching it once I got it.  A weird picture because he likes to take pictures underexposed or with some sort of special weird setting like "pixelated". But, I got this. This ladies and gentlemen, is the set list of MS. SHIRLEY MANSON. Yeah. She LOOKED at this sucked the entirety of the concert, of which we were in front of the mosh pit and standing (ok fine, I sat for a while) for a good 5 hours. We shit you not. 

These two were the ones we were with in the Garbage concert. That's one of my bestest friends in the world, Emrys and his other best friend, the weirdo Mike. I love them both vewy much.

 Then we (boyfriend and I) saw the Beach Boys.  

 

Unlike Garbage, there is no moshing or pit to be had in this concert as we rightly assumed, most of the people going would need the chairs provided.  This was our view of them,from the seats we bought, BUT we moved to the back part of the stadium and eventually watched the whole thing from there because all we did was dance and sing :D

This is Brian Wilson who is considered the songwriting genius behind the Beach Boys.  I felt so bad for him at some points of the concert because it looked like he was about to keel over on his keyboard.  But then he'd open his mouth to sing and it would be magic. YAY! :)

The boyfriend. Doesn't he look SO EXCITED?? :) hahahaha! 

All the food shots will follow. I'm supposed to write about it first for a publication here and can't really show the shots I got.

So... Moving on.

Found these gems today online trolling :)

Technically we don't have a fall here in the Philippines, it's just HOT or WET. Do not insert the dirty joke I have on the tip of my tongue here... but yeah, that is why we are a tropical country.  But that being said, I still want all the dresses in this link :)

I would like to go to Utah just to see this:

Isn't that beautiful? It's the 2nd one I've seen in the last 36 hours. It's a sign.  

Oh also... since the wanderlust bug has been sort of satisfied, I still want more. HAHAHHA!  I am determined to see the Aurora Borealis before I die.  And that I go on a cruise.  Apparently, I can do both, according to my friend, Adam. He used to work for a cruise ship before and he said that it is an awesome experience.  

And I agree. Doesn't this look AWESOME?? :)  I am currently researching on the best deals to get on a cruise for this.  YAY! :)

 

I want to do this just because I am one of those people who like clean things. And baby wipes usually aren't as strong as those alcohol based ones which wreak havoc on my skin. If you want, here's the recipe for your own baby wipes :)

I am hoping that this awesome blog entry will be the catalyst that will kick my butt into being more organised. That being said, I need to find organising doo dads for my office desk. I tend to keep it sparse but need to have things such as a pen holder, stapler, incoming and outgoing paper tray, etc.

In other news, I finally got meself a cello. FINALLY.  YAY! Since it looks like a handsome fella, I've named it Bowie. Cool, and collected with a little bit of punk. HEE :) And my sister recommended a teacher for me, so I'll start on the 18th. I am hoping this thing (apart from work and exercise) will start taking over my life. 

What HAS taken over my life already are THESE:

Top left is the big boss man Panthro and the one sprawled out beneath him is Katara. They simultaneously seem to want to kill me and love me. I love them dearly.

Leaving you with a track this Sunday afternoon/early evening. Have a good one :)
