Here are random pictures I took during the past two weeks. These were taken by a camera phone, but with the help of Gimp magic can be created. I’m in spring break and enjoying every minute of it. It’s nice to just come home and stay for the rest of the evening without worrying about school, atleast for this week. The only downside is that there’s no new episode of LOST this week, what a bummer.
If you haven’t heard yet. Radiohead and Feist were among the guests on BBC’s Later with Jools Holland’s 200th Birthday Show on Friday night [Feb. 1st]. The former Squeeze keyboardist has been hosting the BBC late night music show since 1992. Radiohead performed 4 songs on the show; “House of Cards,” “15 Steps,” “Weird Fishes/Apreggi,” and “Bodysnatchers.”
I’ve been so occupied for the past days. Obviously, not at my very best on updating this blog. It was a very fun, tiring, and busy week since my birthday. The plan of not celebrating my birthday never happened. The celebration was quite bigger than I expected. It felt like the celebration was a private party, the crowd mainly consists of my friends and their guests. It made me realized how lucky I am to have such many good, real, true friends. I guess a birthday is not just another birthday after all.
Today, was a blockbuster day for me. I rented a couple of dvds to catch up with the movies I’ve missed. This one movie inspired me to write this post. I sat, took a deep breath with my eyes closed, soaking up the sounds that inspired this young man. Not since from what I recall “Great Expectations” have I been so moved by a film. This movie will touch you deep.
My mind is set on over-drive. Another birthday is just around the corner and I can’t help but to stress about how time flies by so fast. I’ve been asked several times what I’m doing for my birthday, a few friends have kindly suggested what they want to do for my birthday, few families asked what I want for my birthday, my response is nothing. I’ve been dull for few days and kept thinking what I really want to do in my life. Of course I have goals and aspirations in life, I’m not slacking or just partying all the time, and I don’t think I’m having an early midlife crisis either. I don’t really know what it is and I can’t really explain it. All I know is that I want to move somewhere, meet new people, live in a different environment, and do other things. How can I do all these things if I’m here stuck with bills and responsibilities? I think the book “On the road” by Jack Kerouac are for people who have no responsibilities in life, it’s inspiring and all, but it don’t think it will take you anywhere. Too much rant, maybe I’ll just move to India and live like a monk and not care about the material things in life.
Enjoy this great remix(Happy Birthday) of Lights and Music by Cut Copy. It’s done by one of my favorite Dj-boys noize.
Again, sorry for the lag. I didn’t know this page was down until a friend notified me and plus the DNS propagation took longer than I expected. Life, life’s good, it could be better, but then it could be worse so I’m not complaining. My exam went well, there was 110 possible points which 10 points were extra credit, I got 101 so I’m happy. The long crucial studying paid off, studying in a relaxed timely manner is definitely the way to do, procastinating and cramming should not be done so very often, I’m talking to myself.
In other news, for some reason despite of all the studying I dealt with, I still manage to squeeze some time to hang out with friends. The weekend was very splendid. Sunday, I made it at my friend’s birthday party and I had no choice but to call in sick Monday, I was uncomprehendable, seriously! Tuesday, it was a blast, Cinespace was a kicker-Steve Aoki and sister Devon, Mstrkrft, Dj AM showed up and kill the entire sets. It felt like quite a few old friends and acquiantances were all at the same place that night. I finally caught up with my sleep last night, I was in bed by 11pm. I’m all energized like the battery and ready to keep going and going again. I feel rejuvenated after completing my tasks and getting a very positive results.
Last week’s episode was so epic. The story line definitely went off a tangent. I’m happy to find out that Desmond finally got contact with Penny. This show just keeps getting better and better. According to what I’ve read, Juliet becomes the center of attention in tonight’s episode. We shall see if things spice back up between her and Jack and if we get any more information related to what she knows about the Island. The episode description “The Other Woman” would suggest that she is coerced into doing something unwillingly. Also, tonight’s episode should provide some extremely compelling back story about the Island and Juliet’s time spent there prior to the crash of Flight 815.
I need a breather. I’ve been studying since ten this morning. I went to Cerritos Library, best kept secret library in Cerritos. The place where I go when I need to focus and separate myself mentally from all things. I’m back home and distractions are all over the place. This is the reason why I chose not to study at home, this post is a proof of it. My phone has been off since noon, I’m probably being blown off. Maybe I’ll leave my phone off all night, it’s nice not to worry about having a missed call or text message.
I’m not even half way done yet, I got four more chapters to study and five crucial take home exam to finish. I need to wrap this up by 5pm tomorrow or else I have no choice but to miss a friend’s birthday party. I need to get back on studying before I completely slack off. Life’s so hectic, but I’m not complaining. Work Hard, Party Harder. FTW!!!
