Happy To Be Back

WoW!!! It has been like 2 weeks since I had my last post/update and you couldn't blame me for those days (LOL). Primarily, I wasn't able to holla back at you guys because last week I moved residence from Paranaque to Las Pinas. It was really hard being in the new place at first because I needed to go to work with an extra 30 minutes with the original time just to avoid being tardy. Las Pinas has this terrible reputation with traffic jams and I can personally attest that one. I also need to shape out some more money because of that because I'd now be 3 rides away from work and it's kinda' stressing me out. But truth of the matter is I like the place better because it's pretty much simpler and there are like more trees which I think is very cool. Las Pinas is just like CDO minus the "rellas" but the weather sometimes could be frustrating but it's much more bearable than Paranaque who had just been hit by rain pour for only once within 2 months. The people here are really likeable as they are very kind and easy which I believe makes them one of the coolest people among any of the Metro Manila people. Over all I like how the city is less heavy and busy.

The new house that we are one (with some of my cousins) has this loo which is as big as my previous pad ( I ain't kidding) and it has two rooms that are so huge that when you put your bed on it would look like a chair but one thing that turns me off about the house would be our neighbors. Okay, the place is cool and all that but we have these people from the hood who really make the whole place like a slum like they couldn't have a single day without plunging some filthy alcohol on and everyone's acting like stupid. IDK, it's just that I was used to having decent and modest neighbors.

Okay, I believe I need to cut this off. I gotta go. Bye

The Other Chick

JoJo's almost 4 year-hiatus will finally come to an end as she is about to officially release the first single for her third album Jumping Trains. Well, as a JoJo fan since day zero, I have been pushing myself to the limit of getting the best out of JoJo with all the stuffs she has left when the hiatus commenced plus leaked tracks in a bazzillion figure flooding YouTube. First of all, let's have some recapitulation of what had happened after The High Road. First thing was JoJo's struggle to drop off her distributing label Da Family Records to sign up with Interscope wherein her record label Blackground had an arrangement early in 2009. But then nothing has come to relaization despite JoJo winning her case against Da Family. Some of the tracks for her then-supposed album All I Want Is Everything were leaked online and honestly people quite digged most of them. To give you an idea of what those tracks were listen to these two songs which I believe were two of the best songs JoJo has ever recorded:



 Both songs truly captured JoJo's musical ingenuity and the smooth yet busy rhythm for the two tracks is a bit addictive and quite reminiscent to her smash hit Too Little Too Late. JoJo also struggled returning back to the music scene as she has even released a mixed tape just to remind people she's all set for a comeback which was basically flared up after certain comments  calling her as a "hasbeen" artist. People who really had been fed with everything latest with JoJo knew better how much she would really want to release an album and once again make her fans happy. She also has been keeping her days through Twitter which keeps her in contact with some of her loyal fans, including moi. Honestly, I wasn't really expecting a release for 2011 but then luckily JoJo officially announced her third album Jumping Trains which is still yet to be confirmed as when it comes to the release date. Shortly after the confirmation, the carrier single also went out to public wherein the music video has been confirmed to have been created and was just waiting for a perfect date for the release.

When I first heard the first single, I was bit disappointed with what then I called a lame track obviously because I was expecting for an aggresive beat as well as a more dynamic vibe for a much anticipated music comeback. So, I had it downloaded, illegaly, suppose that it is not yet available for purchase. After some quite of a time, I was stuck with the replay button because all of a sudden I can't get enough of the song. What I love about the song is this element of easiness but then there is a tinge of flagrance demeanor which is totally awesome.

SpellBound

You know when is the right time to be an oaf and you know the time when to stay on guard to never ever let someone step on you. I mean, most of the time we depend on external triggers and by that time we rationalize the the best option we could possibly have. In a bit of time, you will be wondering of what I am trying to transcend in this one. But in a bit of time too, you'll be having some of your precious time sharing same thought of irregular and unprecedented feeling of catharsis. The good thing about being yourself is that you don't have to be consistent and coherent, you don't have to justify all the things that you might wish to think or do. Look in to the spellbound beauty of being yourself and get an unlimited dose of craziness and lose-yourself drama. Come to think of being spontaneous and you won't get that with composure and stretching yourself to fit in because I believe that the only way you can pull things to their best limit is by being unaware of these friggin' limitations. See the drama while the plugs on your ears speak with some boom boom pow on and you will bleed with an overflowing amount of audacity and passion. I know, you guys are kinda' freaking out of what is actually happening to me, all I got to say is that I can't see no reason why you guys can't do the same with losing control and let the drive take you in to the ugliest turns and murkiest corners. Expect yourself to pick up every word you might think and start your every sentence with it and just never care about alignment and standards because I ain't here to please anyone. I am the King of my words and the Emperor of my actions. I stand sturd to what I think is doing best for me and this one is one of it.

The spellbound beauty of being me is that I don't need to struggle hard just to overdo things. It's kinda  working everything that may come and just let all the words come out even if it doesn't make sense because sense is humans excuse to label each other without being bounded with guilt. I thank God I keep on blowing things by going out of the safe zone and it is the best thing I ever had. I just wanna float with my spirit still staying on the ground and just want to celebrate who I want to be and that is my SPELLBOUND beauty.

Get Me Outta' Here

I am intoxicated seeing these stuffs

Okay!!! I am actually a bit recalcitrant these days, blame it to my unhealthy working environment wherein it  requires me of my utmost level of ingenuity for a stupid thing called multitasking. Honestly, work is a magic word for me before, I mean the actual work like a job, occupation and things such as. When I finished college at 19, I had my gushing work instinct all over me that it even impeded me from being a constant docile son. After a year of being a semi-crass and semi-obedient, I had my chance of having me some work. In an instant I was accepted for a work they say where all the renegade is. I did not care and won't really care, because i thought I found my pot of gold. I thought everything will be fine and I'll rock, you know do good. Think of me as stupid but my illusive thought of having better days for my work stretched until the day I finally had the notion of I just can't bare to do this anymore. It's not that It's bland or in anyway a mundane work but it's just that the work is as hard as attending Med School. I feel like I don't need to be doing this for a petty amount of money, well it's not that I am disregarding money issues on this subject matter, but I will be willing to study everyday for this work to pull up a good job if they will be paying me triple of what I am earning right now (Wow! Ang Kapal..lol)

Every friday is like a Respite day for me, but despite this Sunday pushes me with a hard kick that I don't want  the mother of all days arrive and just stop time. Then, here it'll come again and at 5:30 am I am like doing the routine again. To motivate myself, I keep on having this mindset that this is all happening because I need to challenge myself to achieve more, but this cliche is way over being at the top and pretty much lame. So, might as well someone asks, what keeps you from leaving? well, I don't actually know and I don't wanna push myself to weigh things just to arrive to a conclusion because that alone will just make things harder. So, I'll stay because it's quite tolerable for now. But, if there is chance I'll might get outta here.

I'm Now Into Her

Jennifer Lopez never became a true artist for me, I mean given the fact that she has this awesomeness and a body that works for all sexes, but these things didn't work for me. More to being a singer, J Lo ventured in to be a Hollywood actress but just with 10% success rate for every movie, both critically and commercially. Of the six studio albums she did before Love?, including the Spanish ones, I saw J Lo as a very desperate singer trying to crack the American music scene but was left semi-successful, but that was just out of my not-liking-her-that-much. She has been pretty successful with smash hits If You Had My Love, Love Don't Cost A Thing, Ain't It Funny, Am I Real, All I Have, and Jenny from The Block. To date she has 4 number 1 songs on the Hot 100 chart and nine number 10 songs from the same chart. But, not matter how much people patronize her music, it doesn't really transcend to J Lo's box-office proclivity. But amongst this success, I kinda despise every concept J Lo is trying to emulate in her every music concepts. To make things even worse her marriage with the midget manic Latino guy seemed like a no-no step for J Lo to do, but she did it and I wasn't much happy with that, but who cares with what I think. 

After three years of a hiatus in the American scene, she had an early 2011 start to promote her new album Love? by releasing the carrier single On the Floor featuring the Cuban rapper Pitbull and the song became an instant success making J Lo's seventh top five entry for the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song was basically addictive because of the Lambada hooks which was incorporated to the over-all fitting of the song. It became number 1 to almost every European country, Australia, UK, Canada, etc.but failing to topnotch in the American charts due to competition with other strong artists Adele, Katy Perry, Lady GaGa and Bruno Mars. At this point I was kinda in the level of liking J Lo, but not that much. Then she released her second song for the album which totally made me like and love J Lo. Yep, it's the Island-flavored and fun track about being too much in love. 

J Lo with William Levy 

Wayne, J Lo's fave MC

I first took notice of the song in YouTube when it was first released, you know this promotion stuff for VeVo. For two days of being there I never had the least feeling of watching it because I really don't have any plan of making wasting another 4 minutes for a video that I don't fancy that much. Finally!, I thought, YouTube stopped promoting the song as it was not anymore present in the right side of all the videos I was trying to watch. Came a day when I did not have any more videos to watch because I thought I have had all the necessary view for the videos I was rooting to watch because of a weekday madness at work. Uhuh! I suddenly remembered J Lo' I'm Into You and bang!!! I fell in love with it the first time I listened to it and I can't help myself pressing the Replay button for the video. There is this certain element of the song which I really like that keeps me from wanting for some more. To be fair, I believe that is the Na Na Na Na Na Na Yeah things in every chorus of the song. At first I thought the lyrics was stupid like those written by Kesha but    after a while I said it's fun! More to this crazy beat, Wayne's wordplay is just perfect fit for the song. As a proof to my love for this song, you would find me chanting this song whenever I'm on my way to the loo while at work, while on the bus for work and while plainly doing nothing.

Here is a cover of the song I just found on YouTube and this one is frigging awesome:
