Reading news about the demise of Naya Rivera has got me thinking today. I wasn't much of her fan but I liked the character she brought in Glee... and judging from all my entries back in 2010, you'll know that I'm definitely a die-hard Gleek. The show has helped me a lot during my time growing up in a place I found hard to be accepted and I personally thank all the casts for the lesson, the strength, and the wisdom back then. I can honestly say that I became the person I am today because of the show.

I'm sorry for the terrible tragedy happened to you, Naya and thank you. Rest in peace.

Remembering Cory Add comment

Tuesday, October 15, 2013@October 15, 2013

I've watched the latest Glee episode and it brought me back thousands of flashbacks since few years ago. All salutations be to the episode for making me grief from the moment I hit the play button until the screen turned black. It was pretty obvious that they haven't made the death up. It was real... and knowing that, sadden me.

CORY MONTEITH Add comment

Sunday, July 14, 2013@July 14, 2013

I'm holding a few minutes over my Action Research report listening to this song:

The fact that Cory Monteith is dead really strikes me. I grew up my teenage 2 years living with his act and his singing. Although I'm not a recent Glee's big fan, I still cherish their previous casts. The fact that I used to be a major die hard fan of their casts is actually not a history. I still fall in love within each episodes when it comes to watching their first 2 seasons. I wasted my holidays 3 years ago memorizing lyrics from each and every songs I can find in the casts. He was one of the major reason why I stayed long on the cast plus I'm not the only one who fell in love with them. Even I've made my siblings did the same. We've covered some of their song and eventually they became our Christmas theme song. I literary want to cry when I heard the news. Cory has been a great singer - a real one to render a song I can totally relate to. I hope his soul rests in peace. My prayers will always be with him.

EVERY DAY IS A NEW BEGINNING , SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME Add comment

Monday, March 18, 2013@March 18, 2013

It's my birthday; I'm turning into one fine man. I'm not expecting any celebration I didn't even tell my pupils to do one for me. They have costed one for my practicum member and I don't want to burden them to do the same for me. Thank you for all the birthday wishes though. Thanks for singing the song, thanks for the prayers and thanks for the gifts. In this verily turn over, I would like to say I'm happy for my life. My resolutions are yet to be created but I'm hoping to be better. There's another 4 days before I can step home and that excites me. I'm looking forward to meeting the love of my life and this message goes to you:

You're one of a kind. Thanks for everything. My love has grown stronger for you not anyone else can change that. We've come to certain circumstances that would make us quarrel but it doesn't matter as long as the love is still there. I just don't want to lose you in my life so please stay. You are my other side I have searched for all the past of my growing years and I surely won't let you go. Thanks for keeping up with me after all the troubles I made. Sometimes I get jealous because I'm afraid someone is going to make you happier than I do. That's when I realize that the effort depends on me actually. I miss talking to you, looking at your face when you talk, holding your hands... All day long, I wish you are here with me.

I seldom do tweet lately knowing what have I done. I just happen to be a nice little blackbird reading tweets from others and won't talk much. I don't want to repeat the same mistakes that would cost me as much as my interaction with the one I love.

...and I was actually listening to this song. I don't know how much have I repeated the track the rhythm just keeps spinning in me. The lyrics don't really mean anything but I like the rendition they've made to this one fine song.

I'm keeping up with my family. I don't really know what happened back home but this will be answered soon. I want to run away from all this busyness even just for a while. 4 more days and I will be there.

So there goes my birthday post. All in all, I'm thankful I was given the chance to live until today. I hope everything goes accordingly to its tracks. I don't want any changes in my life. I appreciate them just the way they are. Amen

Give your heart a break Add comment

Tuesday, March 12, 2013@March 12, 2013

Listening to Glee Cast's songs and I realized how fond I am to this one:

Give your heart a break

[Rachel:]

The day I first met you

You told me you'd never fall in love

Now that I get you

I know fear is what it really was

Now here we are, so close

Yet so far, haven't I passed the test?

When will you realize

Baby, I'm not like the rest?

[Rachel and Brody:]

Don't wanna break your heart

Wanna give your heart a break

I know you're scared, it's wrong

[Rachel:]

Like you might make a mistake

[Rachel and Brody:]

There's just one life to live

And there's no time to waste

[Rachel:]

To waste

[Rachel and Brody:]

So let me give your heart a break

[Brody:]

Give your heart a break

[Rachel:]

Let me give your heart a break

[Brody:]

Your heart a break

[Rachel:]

Oh yeah, yeah

[Brody:]

On Sunday, you went home alone

There were tears in your eyes

I called your cell phone, my love

But you did not reply

[Rachel and Brody:]

The world is ours if we want it

We can take it

[Rachel (Brody):]

If you just take my hand

There's no turning back now (There's no turning back now)

Baby, try to understand

[Rachel and Brody:]

Don't wanna break your heart

Wanna give your heart a break

I know you're scared, it's wrong

[Rachel:]

Like you might make a mistake

[Rachel and Brody:]

There's just one life to live

And there's no time to waste

[Rachel:]

To waste

[Rachel and Brody:]

So let me give your heart a break

[Brody:]

Give your heart a break

[Rachel:]

Let me give your heart a break

[Brody:]

Your heart a break

[Rachel:]

There's just so much you can take

[Brody:]

Give your heart a break

[Rachel:]

Let me give your heart a break

[Brody:]

Your heart a break

[Rachel:]

Oh yeah, yeah

When your lips are on my lips

[Rachel and Brody:]

And our hearts beat as one

[Rachel:]

But you slip out of my finger tips

[Rachel and Brody:]

Everytime you run

[Brody:]

Don't wanna break your heart

I wanna give your heart a break

[Rachel:]

I know you're scared, it's wrong

[Rachel and Brody:]

Like you might make a mistake

There's just one life to live

And there's no time to waste

[Brody:]

To waste

[Rachel and Brody:]

So let me give your heart a break

[Rachel (Brody):]

'Cause you've been hurt before (Give your heart a break)

I can see it in your eyes (Give your heart a break)

You try to smile away (Give your heart a break)

Some things you can't disguise

[Rachel and Brody:]

Don't wanna break your heart

Maybe I can ease the ache! the ache!

So let me give your heart a break

[Brody (with Rachel harmonizing):]

Give your heart a break

Your heart a break

[Rachel and Brody:]

Your heart a break

There's just so much you can take,

Give your heart a break

Let me give your heart a break

Your heart a break

Oh yeah, yeah

This one nice song attracted me more to be replayed again and again surely because of its lyric. I'm no interested to have one like narrated cause I think it sucks and depressing. Obviously, Love in a relationship takes two. If only one is in love, the love isn't true. Someone is fooling themselves in the relationship. Ehem~ what actually has been a fine reason to start listening to it is because of the singers... Rachel as always performed cover songs better than the original singer and Brody, with that look and that voice, he surely melts. LOL

Silly weekend rant Add comment

Sunday, June 24, 2012@June 24, 2012

Hello,

Happy Sunday and May God bless you. I went to church today to seek peace since I have nothing much to do these recent weekend days. I miss home still but I have to force believing that it's not home here. So I bought a new mouse today. My brother has already bought me one when he came back from his college but I think my sister needed to use it more than I do so I decided to left it at home for her use. I don't think this is a waste. I need it to play DoTa when I came back home next holiday. LOL

The cheapest I can get.

And again, as a to memorize my holiday history, I bought an avocado ice blend. Last holiday I prepared one for the rest of the house but my recipe was much more extravaganza. LOL Miss that moment.

Anyway, I've read The scarlet letter. It's actually an interesting book. I have this interest to read it since 'Easy A' made it so famous.

Next book to finish, Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. Les Miserables is a broadway classic so it's a must to read. Glee made me read it. I love the songs it contents and of course I expect much from the story.

Holidays.. Nice Add comment

Monday, May 28, 2012@May 28, 2012

I've watched the season finale of glee last Saturday (01:44am) and I didn't cry. It's just reminiscent how I remembered the first time I fell in love with the casts so much I didn't want them to end. I could still hear my heavy breathing though waiting for the exact moment for my tears to drop LOL. But still I can't believe Finn would break up with Rachel! They have som much fun together and they should NOT break up! (but still I support Lea and Jessie St. James LOL)

It's nice to know they've made friends with each other finally and how they grew up so much though!

Anyway... There's nothing much to do this holiday except for continuing my same routines each and everyday. This is holiday and I'm enjoying it full blast. I hardly can reply my friends' messages as my phone will always be missing somewhere on the edge of the room.

I've been singing karaoke all day long yesterday participating battles online - LOL. Now there's more to come today, I'll battle them more. #NiceHoliday

I've been to rosary prayers last night and it's been long since I realized how they have changed their prayers. Anyway, my cousin asked my advice for his future plan and I hope I did good. It's actually not an easy thing to do. The only advice I can give to him is to follow what he wanted to be. Did I do good??

So long Goodbye~ Add comment

Friday, May 25, 2012@May 25, 2012

I am so happy I'll be home in a few hours more. :) Can't wait to celebrate the holiday with the rest of the house. I didn't actually plan anything but I hope there's something to do there. I want a nice one... It's been 12 weeks since the last day I meet my family and I really really miss them a lot.

Arrive home tonight and I'll forget everything I've done this semester. I don't care how much bittersweet those were. It's not an easy thing to do but I'll manage. I'm sorry...

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home

May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters
That I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well, I would send them
But I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
I've got to go home

Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In eitheir Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It's all be alright
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

Katherine Mcphee and Smash Add comment

@May 25, 2012

I watched Smash as recommended by one of my friend. Thank you to Mr. Izwanizam for introducing such an interesting musical dramas to me. Smash is another version of my glee but the different thing is Smash is much more cooler (and I don't get to wave goodbye at the end to anybody). I'm not ready to watch the end of Glee current casts. I guess I'll watch it at home (preparing tissues to get sentimental and cry out loud). BTW, the one thing that comes into my mind why I should watch Smash is because of the beauty (and talent) in Katherine Mcphee. She's always a favourite of mine since I saw her auditioning American Idol. She is such a marvelous girl (and I should find someone just like her). She acts as Karen Cartwright, a humble Iowa girl in search of Marilyn Monroe's fame. She's so perfect! She serves her voice to God, doesn't cheat on her boyfriend, respects everyone else etc etc I wish I'll find someone like her someday.

Noticed my blog song changes? Well, it's her voice singing 'run' by Snow Patrol. She has a remarkable voice she can sing any types of song - from blues to a rocky type, she'd kill it all. I ended up putting her 'saying goodbye' as a blog song when I'm starting this semester and I figure out I should have ended the term by putting another song from her too. Voila, this is it!

Run - Katherine Mcphee

I sing it one last time for you
and we really have to cool
you've been the only thing that's right
in all life time

and I can barely look at you
but every single time I dream
I know will make it anyway
away from here

Chorus:
Light up, Light up
as if you hurt the choice
even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside to you dear

mhm louder, louder

and will run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
why you can't raise your voice to say

just think I might not see those eyes
makes it so high not to cry
and as we say I longer vice
I nearly do

chorus:
Light up, Light up
as if you hurt the choice
even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside to you dear

mhm louder, louder

and will run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
why you can't raise your voice to say

uhh uhhh ohhh

Light up, light up
as if you have the choice
even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside to you dear

Glee and their NATIONALS! Add comment

Thursday, May 17, 2012@May 17, 2012

I can't resist to type this but I've watched the Nationals season of Glee and believe me! They won! I mean... They WON NATIONALS!!!! After all these 3 years (which of course I'VE NEVER STOPPED BEING A TOTAL GLEEK FREAK), they finally deserve the real nationals standing ovation! Glee is coming to its end (again I shall say)... But what matters is that they won their nationals! (eventhough Vocal Adrenaline has the most interesting performance). Everyone in their schools finally respect them! No more slushies, that for sure! I'M SO GLAD FOR THEM!

Edge of Glory by the TroubleTones

It's all coming back to me now - Rachel's ballad (One of my fav songs since I'm 7)

Paradise by the Dashboard light - Theme of the Nationals

And tap this, I will always be a Gleek Freak even when I'm nearing 50 (well at least with these first 3 seasons)

My distractions Add comment

@May 17, 2012

I've killed my own killing subject this semester despite the distraction I have in the examination hall this evening. My infatuation has finally became a nightmare to me. The one thing haunting me every dreams I have and now I'm trying my best to get rid of it. Anyway, it was a matter of luck and some spice of my memory but I think I've done my best for the paper. Chemistry is not that easy you know! My next paper would be on next Tuesday so I still have a lot of time to revise for those papers left. I haven't done anything today though I thought I would have my day break on. Would start cracking notes as soon as tomorrow.

I went to Akasia last night: an old hostel college of mine I've had so much memories of. I was glad to meet the old memories I have back then. :) Just a smile... Indeed, just a smirk of smile I can give to times like that (if you know what I mean).

Now that I have downloaded the latest Glee episode, I was dying to watch the next one. I like the props episode though. I love how Tina made a best friend out with Rachel. I love how Tina stood up for how much she deserve her solos. I love the song 'Because you loved me' that is why I put it on my blog. I'm so surprised how Tina can sing one of Celine Dion's hits. Her voice is getting better and I'm looking forward to seeing her performance as a female lead next season. My heart would still be on Rachel Berry (and of course Santana), but now that Tina has made me so turned on, I shall say I love her too. Please be aware that I have already known what songs they are performing for their Nationals (I've downloaded them). Rachel's ballad is going to kill the show! I can tell you that.

Something different? XD

Poker Face Add comment

It has been 2 years and I still love the rendition made by the Glee club:

Poker face by Glee Casts

"Poker Face"

(feat. Idina Menzel)

Mum mum mum mah

Mum mum mum mah
Mum mum mum mah
Mum mum mum mah
Mum mum mum mah

I wanna hold em like they do in Texas Please
Fold em let em hit me raise it baby stay with me, I love it
Luck and intuition play the cards with Spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart

Oh, oh, oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me, I love it
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun, fun

Oh, oh, oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face

Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

(Mum mum mum mah)

I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning

Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I'm marvelous

Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face

Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(She's got to love nobody)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

I was watching the old seasons of the casts and all of a sudden this song appears. I love Gaga's songs. How she interprets the ugliness of the world into something awesome. They said she was all satanic and stuffs but I believe we should see things in a different bright ways (and by that I don't mean Paparazi - in which actually a personal song by her).

This song is a real history for me and my siblings. I forced my little sister to memorize the lyric and even get her to do a vocal train up so she can uplift the pitch and key tones in this song... Such a terrible brother I am. Anyway, I hope I can sing this once again with her. LOL

That's it, this is going to be in one of my holiday's event!

Glee's prom-asaurus Add comment

@May 10, 2012

Hello,

First of all I'd like to say I watched the latest glee episode: Prom-asaurus. Can't believe I managed to download it after thinking about the episode since the last one before. Anyway, I don't want glee to end. I still love to watch them act and sing. I love to see dramas and reflect them on me (I'd done that). I wanted them to be forever that it's the first showcase I've been never bored of. How much have I said this? I just meant it really.

Rachel is so pretty.. Isn't she?

Who sang 'What makes you beautiful of One direction'

Quinn (as pretty as usual) and the girls are singing Berlin's take my breath away (One of my favourite oldies!) + love you like a lovesong...

Here's how the lovers recalled back their past year's story.

I love how Tina made me so touched by what she said.

You'll be thrilled with this episode. So much of the dramas and I still love how matured they have grown up. I wished I was just the same. Sigh~ Glee has distracted me... But I like how it feels.

Now I've stopped my blog's feed on my facebook's timeline. I require no attention from there. Maybe I'll turn it on somedays in the future (just to think the fact that I'll deactivate my account as soon as I graduated).

How will I know - Glee Cast Add comment

Tuesday, May 01, 2012@May 01, 2012

Le eating me magi~

Holiday and I've nothing to do. First of all, I want to share this opening Glee song for their latter episode. The title: How Will I know

Here's the meaningful lyric:

There's a boy I know, he's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above
Ooh I lose control, can't seem to get enough
When I wake from dreaming, tell me is it really love

Chorus:
How will I know (Don't trust your feelings)
How will I know
How will I know (Love can be deceiving)
How will I know
How will I know if he really loves me
I say a prayer with every heart beat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you what you know about these things
How will I know if he's thinking of me
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak)
Falling in love is all bitter sweet
This love is strong why do I feel weak

Oh, wake me, I'm shaking, wish I had you near me now
Said there's no mistaking, what I feel is really love

oh tell me

If he loves me, if he loves me not (X3)

Originally sung by Late Whitney Houston and performed by Kurt Hummel, Santana Lopez, Mercedes Jones and Rachel Berry. Now answer me...
