3 Things that keep me sane at the moment

1. Music

Singing out loud with all my might and emotions with Taylor Swift and my very positive moving on playlist, releases all the tension!

2. How I Met Your Mother

Catching up, imagining myself and my new life with my new awesome job abroad, with my new awesome friends and my new awesome boyfriends.

3. Jesus

He's just awesome.

While I count down to the days until I am free from this 10-day home confinement due to a contagious virus, I shall keep myself busy with these (plus some online work, social media, answering emails, practicing knitting, and preparing for my dream job application).

A very positive moving on playlist

Since the break up, I've had a couple of playlists which helped me throughout the process.  As you can see in my past entries, I am very much influenced and healed by music.  Right now, my mind is really dead set on moving on and forgetting about the past relationship and setting my eyes towards my goals for the future (which make me very excited!!!).  And so you'll find below the songs which I am currently listening to:

1) Treasure - Bruno Mars

As much as possible, I don't want this playlist to be bitter and so this first one is just to make us feel good about ourselves.  I imagine Louis Tomlinson or Zayn Malik singing this to me.  Or I'd imagine my future partner singing and DANCING this to me as a proposal to be his girlfriend HAHAHA.  Singing and dancing to this would definitely merit my sweet sweet 'yes'.

You can also try these songs for the same effect:

1.1 Kiss You - One Direction

1.2 What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction

Or maybe just about any One Direction song that says you are great and I would like to be your boyfriend.  Hahaha.

2) Brave - Sara Bareilles

This is for those super tiny pieces of hatred left towards a guy whose reason for a break up is the 'it's not you, it's me' type.  But the good thing about this song is it sounds so positive and inspiring.  On the flip side, this can also be for me, for us, to look at what we really want to say, who we really are...what we really want to do with our lives.

3) Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day

I know sometimes you will really get sad and miss the person who broke up with you (I don't like using the word "ex boyfriend").  Acknowledge the feeling, but also remind yourself that it was really something unpredictable but in the end is RIGHT.

4) Part Of Me - Katy Perry

"Now look at me I'm sparkling, a firework, a dancing flame." ;)  Enough said.

5) Roar - Katy Perry

What can I say about this song?  It has all the inspirational, 'I am great' lines from all the great songs we know.  This is just great.  And imagine yourself as hot as Katy Perry (it would also help if you make this one of your goals) while singing along to this song.

6) Go The Distance - Michael Bolton

This is to keep you motivated towards your life goals.  For me, this song is also about living your life to the fullest by doing your God-given purpose and ultimately being with Him in the end as said in these lines,

"I will search the world 
I will face its harms
til I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms" :')

7) Little Wonders - Rob Thomas

As the theme song for the great movie Meet the Robinsons and with the movie's main message of "keep moving forward", this seems fit for a moving on playlist.

"Let it go, let it roll right off your shoulders...the hardest part is over." :)

I also like how this song gives importance to "these small hours", those times when you were most sad, down, and just plain depressed.  It makes you realize that we really need to go through these hardships for us to move on to greater things. :)

8) Running - Hillsong

What better way to move on than to run?  But chasing after the right things, of course.


There you have it.  If you are like me who really gets affected by music and someone who likes to focus on the positive, this would really help.  But honestly, the songs The Scientist and Baby Come Back has been haunting me as well without my doing!  And being a person who thinks God talks to me through music, this really isn't helping.  But at least I am doing so much better now.  :)

Hello hello

Hello again blogspot, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again. I really like it that you're always there for my notes that I want to publish semi-publicly. HAHAHA. I've got only one follower and I don't even know him. Hahahaha. But I like it this way. (Tell me why? Ain't nothing but a heartache. Backstreet Boys, okay?)

------

You know what I like about myself? I never get bored. I know right? Lucky me. But what's ironic is that I get bored when I do things when I have to do them. But give me free time and I know just what to do. YEY.

So my summer break is almost ending, I'll be back to school on Monday. And I like school.

So far, I'm very proud of all these things that I've done. (I've got soul but I'm not a soldier)

Unlike the semestral break of my Freshman year, I did very different stuff this time because duh, it's the summer break not the sem break hahaha. Anyway, I'm sad to say I forgot how to play Pachelbel's "Canon" already. I know, you piano people say it's very easy. Sorry na.

So so far, for my summer break, I've downloaded and listened to these albums:

1. Michael Jackson's Thriller
2. Lady GaGa's The Fame
3. and Angels & Airwaves' I-Empire

WEEE. (Weee's and Yey's are fillers, alright?)

I downloaded MJ's legendary album after watching America's Best Dance Crew, the crews danced to the tracks on that album. I've always had this thing for dancing even though I'm not so good of a dancer myself.

I really like Lady GaGa. Even though she's gaga and all, I believe that she's a true artist. I love her. The album makes me want to dance all day.

ANGELS & AIRWAVES PARE. Tom DeLonge still has his touch. Did he ever lose it? I really like his voice. Blink-182's last album left me asking for more but I never got around downloading Angels & Airwaves' album/s until I saw them in an episode of One Tree Hill and I liked the song Tom sang. It's purdy and spacey just the way I like it. My favorite tracks are "Rite of Spring" and "Secret Crowds". And and, I'm very happy that Blink-182 will be having a comeback album! YEY!

You know what's common with Lady GaGa, Angels and Airwaves and The Killers? The cosmic sounds. HAHAHAHA. Gotta love those synthesizers.

Other things I did:

1. Nag-uurong ako everyday! ("Urong" sa salitang Tagalog, ang ibig sabihin ay paghuhugas ng pinggan)
2. Nilabhan ko yung mga damit kong nakatambak bago pa abutan ng pasukan at wala na naman akong masusuot.
3. Some more chores that I like doing with the company of my iPod Celestina or my unnamed radio cellphone.

Other things I want to do:

• PROJECT DOODLE!

This was a project I thought of last summer while I'm in SA class. You know those times when you really, REALLY get bored and you start doodling on your notebook and you also start having brilliant ideas? Haha. I got the idea of compiling all of my college notebook doodles and post an album of it somewhere Haha.

There you go, of course I still did the normal stuff, I made use of the television, computer, I went out with friends, etc.

Whew, just in time for Siete Palabras. :D
