July « 2007 « EvilWearsPink : Space…because apparently, I now have lots of it.

Something before we start.

I made the mistake of drinking brewed coffee. Yes,I mean those beans that you put in the coffee maker and leave your eyes bloodshot. I was too lazy to mix powdered in my cup so I just turned on the coffee maker.

Now I can’t sleep. I’m the Evil Frankenjc, the lurker of internet at dawn. Bwahaha.

Anyway. Alright, people. Let’s get down to business. I know some of you have been waiting for this. Let’s go.

First treat: Tadhana by Moonstar88

Yes! Anggalinggalinggaling ng magic powers ko! Who would have thought? This one got me bopping till forever. This is a very welcome change for the guys who churned out Torete, although I still love Accel for that. Speaking of, Cris (or is it JP?) coined me in on this: Accel may just be forming a new band. Last we heard, she’s leaving Moonstar for marriage. Now, she’s gonna be back in the scene.

Hmm. Parang Katwo Librando and her new band Duster. We still don’t have much info, but there, Narda has disbanded, and she’s in a new band.

Anyway, here’s the mp3. Pagkarinig nyo, sisigaw rin kayo ng “dito tayo sa dileeem!” Swear. Parang Pedicab lang. :p

Second: Stolen (Acoustic) by Dashboard Confessional

This is per the request of Marlo. This is by far the most emotional of the ones I have downloaded. May isang acoustic, sobrang pangit. Grr.

Anyway. I think you’d like to hear this, Jayps.

Third: Of the original and the emo.

I found these while looking for Dashboard’s acoustic version of Stolen. Aparently this is for an MTV live session. Too bad I didn’t hear the REM version first. Dashboard’s version is nice with the emo touch, but REM’s is definitely better.

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
The photograph on the dashboard,
taken years ago,
Turned around backwards
so the windshield shows.
Every streetlight reveals
the picture in reverse.
Still, it’s so much clearer.
I forgot my shirt at the water’s edge.
The moon is low tonight.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
I’m not sure all these people understand.
It’s not like years ago,
The fear of getting caught,
Of recklessness and water.
They cannot see me naked.
These things, they go away,
Replaced by everyday.
Nightswimming, remembering that night.
September’s coming soon.
I’m pining for the moon.
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming.
You, I thought I knew you.
You I cannot judge.
You, I thought you knew me,
this one laughing quietly
underneath my breath.
Nightswimming.
The photograph reflects,
Every streetlight a reminder.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night,
deserves a quiet night.

Fourth : For JP

O. Ayan na. I’m still wondering why you’re looking for this. Di ba matagal na ito?

Fifth (and the second best after Moonstar88’s Tadhana): Contagious.

Yes. I’m not an Avril fan, but this is defintely good: “When you’re around I don’t know what to do / I do not think that I can wait / To go over and to talk to you / I do not know what I should say / And I walk out in silence / That’s when I start to realize / It’s so contagious / I cannot get it out of my mind / It’s so outrageous / You make me feel so high“

Contagious by Avril Lavigne [ Download mp3 here ]

SHE is on a frenzy. She’s been looking around for those yellow flea bags which should soon be the new baby of her family.

I’m talking about a labrador.

She has found a seller, but she’s still trying to look for options because the pictures doesn’t really show them to be that cuddly. I argued they’re gonna be fat anyways if they feed him right, but she explained that, of course, for people to actually WANT to feed him, he has to be cuddly enough to pull at their heartrings. Hmm. True.

Anyhow, just in case someone finds this, we are still looking for a yellow labrador, as much as possible not older than 2 and a half months. Budget is 5K lower (HEY–we found a 4k dog, for goodness sake).

Drop me a line. Or better yet, show up in my front door step looking all cute and offer me the dog. I’ll see what I can do for you. :p
