This time around I am going to rant about music. Hah, as if I never talk about music. What can I say, music plays a huge part in my life. I sleep with music, I study with music, I eat with music, heck if music were an incarnation of Chris Evans, I'd marry it.

Besides that, I don't have anything rant worthy to write in here. My life is going by wistfully. No suprises, nothing. Just the same old routine day in and day out. Boring? Hm..maybe. But I'll take boring for now.

So, lets start of with my:

Favourite Video This Moment:

Good Charlotte-The River

There are two big reasons why I like this video. Reason number one is the fact that it reminds me of my phone, Heikki Kovalainen. Proof :

My phone
Start of the video
Can you see the resemblance?? Boo if you can't, may you have a wonderful partner and 10 babies if you can. So anyway, second reason is because M. Shadows is in it. He made a bland Good Charlotte video into something extraordinary.

The guy's voice makes me realise why I love man, despite them being a pain in the ass sometimes.

Don't you get that feeling, like someone just downed a bucket of ice in your pants everytime he yells "On my owwwwn!!"
To top it off, he's pretty damn good looking also.
But its his presence that made the video powerful. If it was just GC on their own, then the video would just look like another All American Rejects 'Dirty Little Secret' rip off.

Thankfully, they decided to invite the man to be in their song and video. But to me, you shouldnt collaborate with an artist thats going to overshadow [my puns are brilliant] you in your own song.
Sadly, Matt overpowered the whole band. Not by just being there making orgasm faces, but even his powerful voice over powered Joel's. Next to Matt, Joel's voice sounds so nasal and seriously reminds me of Hilary Duff during her earlier years. There's even a resemblance of the whole "powerful" thing.

Many instances in the video you see Joel ehm..praying. [Hehhe the second picture is funny]. But, who is he praying to??

Yes, to Mr Shadows of course. Seriously, GC is not worthy. This guy is too cool for their standard. Oh and don't get me started on the whole Synester Gates things, jeez, GC must've been very good boys in their third life.


Why did I downcool myself to be here??!!

Regardless of that, its a cool video and thumbs up to Good Charlotte and their new sound because if everyone else hates it, screw them, I like their new sound and thats all that matters.

Favourite Artist This Moment:

MIKA

I am in love with this guy's music and I am not ashamed to admit it. Its different, HOLY MUFFINS its different. Different than any other brand of music I listen too. I have evolved musically and I'm proud to be able to accept this kind of music.

Its different. [No, different is the only way to describe it]

You might've heard Grace Kelly on radio or seen the video on MTV since he's Buzzworthy and such, truthfully speaking I thought he was annoying at first. The hair, the voice, the sound, EVERYTHING. Then about a week ago, I was feeling a bit off and was listening to Hitz.fm School Of Rock. They played all my favourite songs that day.

All American Rejects-It Ends Tonight
Linkin Park-What I've Done
American Hifi-Flavour of The Week

Basically, it was a rocking hour. But I still felt a bit..bleh. So I decided to go and do my homework. [Yep, I was trying to fight the blehness by doing something that is even MORE bleh.] So, with the radio, Fly.fm, I did my work. Suddenly, Mika's song Grace Kelly came on and quickly I changed it to Hitz.fm and it was playing Beyonce' and Shakira's Beautiful Liar.

So, I did what any sane person would do and that is to change back to Fly.fm and endure the annoying singer with the annoying song.

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple

I could be anything you like
Gotta be green

Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why don't you like me?
Why don't you like me?

Why don't you walk out the door!

Minutes later, I found myself singing to it and thought, god, this guy is talking shit but hey, atleast its a melodic shit. The kind of shit that gets stuck in your head. As if fate was knocking on my head, I decided to on the tv and voila, Mika Interview..special, whatever. I thought, hmm..I'll continue doing my work AFTER watching this, I need to rest anyway.

So I watched it and finally found out why he wrote the song Grace Kelly. It was actually a come back song, a song he wrote when he was pissed off at the music agents wanting him to change his style and looks.

It suddenly struck me. This dude, IS JUST LIKE ME!! I swear we can be related. He's very..very creative in that sense that he makes a song that people think is a happy song but its actually far away from happiness. It was a strike at the music industry. The fact that he did it rather sarcastically, was just brilliant.

Just the way I write stuff in my blog. Ok, I'm not saying I'm brilliant or anything but its just that, my post are usually funny. Stupid..AND funny. You have to admit, you do wonder if I'm sane or not. Why do I joke all the time? Why do I always try to pull the mickey out of everything. I find it more satisfying to write the opposite about my current situations. I'm not happy all the time. Not everything in my life is whoopee!! But I don't want to write about how my life sucks and everyone hates me. I'd rather write about the reason why life sucks and everyone hates me and that is because life, is running a marathon and it needs to breathe once in a while, thats why it sucks and the reason everyone hates me is because they ain't me. So hah!! Though, thats not true. People don't hate me, they just don't know how to feel when it comes to me.

Oh fuck I'm rambling.

So back to Mika.

People compare him with Prince and Freddie Mercury and wow, I don't even know who the hell Freddie Mercury is. And Prince? Isn't he that short guy with the mole? Anyway, unlike other band songs, Mika's songs makes you happy. Without a doubt, it makes you feel high...with happiness. You just want to jump around and do something silly. Its like an endorphin overflow for me, everytime I hear his songs.

But it sucks, because no one else like him. Well, no one else HERE! I mean he has fans everywhere. It sucks that the only brand of music my friends would ever like is the type with the hot bassist and the off key yelling. If I showed a picture of Mika [just to let them see who the singer is] they'll almost definitely be like "Eww Sheila, is he gay? Why do you like his songs?"
They haven't grown properly in order to appreciate this sort of music. Then when I make them listen to his song they'll be like...

"AAHHH WHATS WITH THE FALSETTOS!! ITS SO GAY AND ANNOYING. I LIKE JOEL MADDEN. HE SOUNDS LIKE A MAN!!"

Heh, Joel seems to be getting a lot of stick from me today. Ah, you guys know I adore him.

So, I guess I have to be listening to his songs all alone, be happy and high all alone. But seriously, you want to be happy? Free your mind of any stereotypes and watch the "Love Today" video by him. Its not about the looks, its about the music this guy makes. If you can't stand falsettos, then boo you, if you can then hopefully you'll get a wonderful partner and 10 babies.

Anyway, I just have to say this. You guys can hate me but whatever. I woke up this morning realising that it was someone's birthday but I couldnt remember who. I checked my friend's list and no one was born today. 4 hours later I realised it was this guy's birthday.

Happy 27th Birthday Kian, god you're getting old.

FINE!! I'll stop being pathetic now, though it won't last long. Anyway, this shall be my last post until the mid year is over. Other than that, wish me luck and I'll be back as soon as Kyle Patrick decides to pull a "Pete Wentz."

Shouldn't be long now.



"They tried to label my sound as indie, but it was to melodic. But the mainstream media couldnt take it either because it was too weird."

Breaking News :

I GOT A PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But somethings wrong with it.

I know....WTF??!!

But that aside, finally, a phone of my own. After seventeen years of trying, oh wait no, maybe four years of trying [since the first fews years of living I would've probably asked for milk and sleep] I finally got a phone.

[flashback]

4 years ago...

Me : Pa, can I have a handphone?
Dad : You're *only* thirteen Sheila.

3 years ago

Me : Pa, can I have a handphone?
Dad : You're *only* fourteen Sheila.

2 years ago...

Me : Handphone?
Dad : Nope.
Me : WHY??!!
Dad : You're *only* fifteen Sheila.

Last year...

Me : What about a handphone, for me?
Dad : *blinks*
Me : I know I'm *only* sixteen but...
Dad : *blinks again*
Me : *pathetic reason on getting a phone* But EVERYONE has a phone now.
Dad : I got a phone when I was forty.
Me : ........

[/flashback]

Yes, I admit that I tried oh so many times for my dad to get me a phone but it failed oh so many times. I'm not exactly the one who pushes things, like after my dad says no, I wouldnt really dwell on it knowing all too well that my dad [delusional as he is sometimes] knows whats best for me.

But of course, that never stopped me from trying.

Just last week my mom [I share HER phone instead] received two messages on her phone. Both of them were for me. The thing is, I was at home and she was out...living life, unlike her anti-social daughter. Anyway, that triggered me to ask my dad for a phone again.

Me : Pa, see? I have people messaging me now. Don't you think its about TIME I have a phone of my own??!!
Dad : *puts down paper and blinks*
Me : Hmph..fine..
Dad : Give me the brand that you like and I'll go check the price.

...........

Fast forward two days later, I have a phone! But alas, somethings wrong with it. I'm able to make calls but can't receive them.

SERIOUSLY??!! If it was the other way round, I wouldnt mind so much.

[/friday rant]

Its Sunday now, and my phone is fine. I took a rather unflattering photo of my mom two days ago and forgot to delete it. So when my dad gave my phone to some of his friends to have it checked out and stuff, they [adults don't change...for real] of course had to *check* my photo section, in case you know, my inability to make calls is because of something wrong with my pictures.

Sheesh.

But its fixed now, and thats all that matters.

And Kist was the first person to message me last night, telling me that she had a response from Billy Martin.

Hmph.

It seems that the tickets for the Good Charlotte concert were pretty easy to get. Everyone I chatted with had an extra ticket asking me if I want to go. FREE some more!! But alas, I was not in the mood to go. Mid year exam, SPM, all this add maths and bio homework made me realise I should stay at home instead. Slog now...enjoy later.

Of course, it seemed like EVERYONE was going and almost all of them told me the concert was awesome, especially Jason Lo's performance. Ahh I would love to watch Jason Lo live. I saw some youtube videos of him and wished I'd gone.

Ahh well.

If thats not painful enough, my dad smeared the whole pack of ajinamoto on my open wound.

[Last night, after receiving a few text messages in a row]

Dad : Who's sending all this messages?
Me : Friend-lah.
Dad : At 12:00am?
Me : Alah..the good charlotte concert just ended so, they're just letting me know.
Dad : Good Charlotte concert?
Me : Yep.
Dad : Why didn't YOU go??
Me : !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even MY DAD is making me regret my decision not to go. Oh well, some other time. Hopefully, all the good concerts will be held in December. Watch out, I'm going to terrorize every international acts [preferably bands with really hot drummers] with my ability to not make sense!!

Aha!! I'm doing it as we speak.

Good Charlotte--Good Morning Revival
Linkin Park--Minutes To Midnight

Never knew the the "Time Of The Day" is so IN right now.

I know I've been hopeless with my updates lately. Its just that, I have NOTHING to write about. Even after Manchester United thrashed AS Roma 7-1 and with me grinning like an idiot because Michael Carrick scored two goals, I still have nothing to write about.

I guess this post will be about me and my ability to write nothing.

Have you ever had that feeling like you have nothing to write about? Well I do. It sucks I tell you. I feel like I've dissapointed my readers even if there's only three and a half of them out there.

Half being Yorsh's vein that looks like its going to explode everytime I tell her about Mr Pilot.

I don't know where I'm going with this, so I shall draw a dotted line below and write about the first things that comes to my mind.

..................................

-->Milo Ventimiglia is so....well, to say he's hot would be a little too much. He's not THAT hot. But, there's just something about him thats so..attractive. I know, after replacing Ian Somerhalder's picture with his, you guys might think I'm obsess but seriously, bear with me, its just a phase I'm going through. Once Heroes is over, Milo would only remain as my favourite energy drink. [Gahh thats such a lame joke]

-->Whaaaaa!! I have lost my siggy making abilities. I even forgot how to cut and bloody paste. Damn, all this Bio crap is making me lose my creative juices.

-->Hah! I knew the Kanye West concert would be a flop. It was never a good idea to bring a rapper down anyway. Even if it was Eminem, kids like us would still feel out of place in a rap concert. So, a tip to all concert organisers out there..BRING MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE ALREADY!!!!

-->I feel that Linkin Park's new sound isn't all that new. I mean, its nice to listen too, it still sounds very Linkin Park-ish but there's nothing ground breaking about it. Maybe because they put too much hype on this new album, what with it being revolutionary and all, I guess I started having very HIGH expectations. But its good nonetheless.

-->Why do I get the feeling that the Cood Charlotte's concert is going to be VERY boring?? No..I'm not being a sour grape. Yes, I'm not going and I don't intend too but its Good Charlotte. They're too arrogant for their own good. Especially Joel...there's just something about him that I don't like. Hmm..this "Not-Liking-People-For-No-Reason" thing is not healthy Sheila. Snap out of it!!

-->ICE AGE IS THE FUNNIEST CARTOON EVER!!!!

-->Life would not be complete without Heroes. Watch it you guys, just..watch it. Oh wait no, DOWNLOAD it. Thats what I do. Its just so...intriguing. Oh and Sylar, without a doubt is the most sexy villain ever! He's mean, he cuts people's head open but he's Sylar, and I heart him.

-->I wonder if Jared Leto has ever had a bad ass sore throat after singing one of his songs.

-->Chester Bennington remains the only lead singer who can yell in tune despite the shortage in height [according to some bloody lucky people who met him in Tower Records].

-->Micheal Carrick looks like the buffier version of Mikey Way. Even if he doesn't I still think he is and thats all that matters.


Well, I guess thats all for now. I shall go and think about what to write about next week. Chyeah, I'm THAT dedicated I tell ya.
