I got some homework where I had to choose 3 manly scents that I enjoyed out of a whole list of them.
Got my list got my list: (learned about more enjoyable smells)
1. Chanel: Platinum Egoist
2. Chevignon: Che
3. Yves Saint Laurent: L'Homme
4. Chanel: Bleu
5. Armani Code
What are some scents you can't get out of your head? What about female scents?
I got to watch an awesome indie movie that changed my life:
It was about this girl who has a superpower, and ended up in a love triangle between her arch nemisis and boyfriend, but they were brothers or something...what happens? who does she end up with? Oh I cannot sayyy...all I can say is that I wish I was medium cute like the Dakota Skye.
I felt like listening to some mellow tunes, taking a break from my K pop frenzy and switch on some Folk.
Simple beats, strong melodic motifs, and gentle and airy vocals reminded me of a stroll in the park.
This past weekend I had my first job orientation at Aeropostale, I am hopeful that they will give me a good work schedule and that my co workers will be friendly and forgiving. A good sign was , as I was filling out the final paperwork, the song that came on in the store was Fefe Dobson's new song Ghost. At least I will be able to work with good music playing.
Yesterday, my baby guitar's D-string broke. I am not amused. Would someone please fix it for me? I was suggested to go online to learn how to string a guitar, we shall see how desperate I am to play.
In other news, I was volunteered to petsit for a friend's dog. The dog's name is Sarah and she is a black chihuahua mix, and I am honestly having mixed feelings about it, because I don't think Sarah likes me very much. I have wanted a pup all my life, and I absolutely adore dogs, but Sarah is different. She seems to always want to bite me, snarling and growling at me with her canine teeth.
-shiver me timbers-
Today I had a dream about an old friend, how strange that of all the people in my life that friend was there. Because of that dream, I decided to call my friend up and we got to go to dinner and catchh up like old times! :D ... and funny thing is that in my dream I really believed that my friend was mad at me and was ignoring me, oh silly imagination.
I HAVE BEEN TYING MY SHOES INCORRECTLY MY WHOLE LIFE!!!
Gosh do I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE TED TALKS
In another TED TALK I learned about creative ways a programmer learned to connect people from all over the world with music projects. Like Wilderness Downtown which is a song by Arcade Fire, and what is special about it is that you can get your own customized music video by typing in your address. It is a really awesome and interactive music video that is played on different windows that pop in and out of your desktop/computer screen..
I also learned about artificial artificial intelligence, through Amazon's Mechanical Turk. I have made 3 dollars so far by accomplishing silly tasks. Through mechanical turk this guy created large artistic projects, like recreating a 100 dollar bill mosaic painting. Where each individual would just copy a square through online painting and then submit it...etc... every square would be completely a different style.
This is Anthony Neely, he was a contestant on Taiwan's version of American Idol, One Million Star.
With a new album out and HIM International Music promoting him, he has come a long way from his life in California.
Like Wilber Pan and Wang Leehom and many other ABC (american born chinese) talent, he made his way over seas to establish a career. Shouldn't the competition be about the same.
Neely has a very warm voice and what is more impressive is his Mandarin when he sings! It is not easy to accurately form the right tone while carrying a tune, but he does it as if it were his mother tongue.
I think his cover of Damien Rice's Blower's Daughter was absolutely raw and heart felt. Sounds almost just like Damien's voice.
So typically, mom and I go back to Taiwan every December to celebrate the holidays and such however for once in a long while we chose to stay home in America and live up the good ol Texan Christmas. My we have some relatives who live in Medina, TX and it is really nice to just go veg in the middle of nowheres. This will be the second time we have gone this year, we already went over Thanksgiving.
Here are somethings that I love about going to Medina.
-Nobody ever knows where it is!!
-scenic drive with a lot of open range land.. and hills
-It is one place where I can get a front row seat to view the stars at night.
-There are camels~! Other wild life as well like goats, donkeys, llamas, horse...
-Medina is the Apple Capital of Texas = delicious apple strudel~~
-You can drive pretty fast...and across the double yellow lines
-Good quality bonding time
It's very nice to just let go of any stress or worry and be there in the middle of nowhere.
ould I sing you a song? I'll sing them like I mean it and then save it for later.
