Hey guys! Typhoon Glenda was in the Philippines for the past 24 hours and well, the effect here in the city isn't really 'devastating', but it was bad. There are branches and trees along the roads, metal signs were bent, electricity was lost and as of now, my phone's signal still isn't back. *sigh* also, I am able to post something right now because classes in my school are still suspended for tomorrow due to the effects there. Believe me when I say "trees and branches are scattered along roads", I mean it, really. School's been suspended since Tuesday and it's actually a good thing for me. You see, my professors aren't really the best right now. They aren't as friendly as my last ones from the past 3 terms. So yes, it affected my grades drastically considering that I'm aiming for consistency in being a dean's list.
SO YEAH GUYS, I AM NOT IN ANY WAY COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SUSPENSIONS. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MAKE-UP CLASSES AND SHORTER TERM BREAKS AS LONG AS IT TAKES ME LONGER TO SEE MY PROFESSORS AND AS LONG AS IT HELPS ME ACHIEVE OR FINISH MY REMAINING SCHOOL WORKS. Which I have finished. ;)
*breathes* I'm just so pissed off. Seriously. If I know that I deserved those grades, I would be as careless as a peanut (cause they're not alive... at all) but I knew I deserved better. I knew I worked hard in every activity. I did my freaking best and ugh.
Okay, I'm going to stop nagging and ranting because that and typhoon glenda isn't what this post is about. This post is about my favorite local songs which are really few and modern. I thought about making this post because I discovered another local song that I now love so much. So here they are guys (not in order):
1. "Taya" by Up Dharma Down
This was the first local song that I loved, and also, this was my first indication that I loved Indie music. I remember seeing the music video while it was Twilight with my room's lights closed. Then when I downloaded it to my mp3 player, I remember playing it whenever we're driving along Ortigas and any busy cities. I loved watching the city lights with the song in the background. It made me appreciate things at night. I still do. Guess this explains why I'm a night person. Haha! I just really like gloomy songs, I guess? Just... indie. I just really love indie.
2. "Guillotine" by Urbandub
I discovered this in MTV. Back when I was in 5th/6th grade to my 2nd year in Highschool, I always open the television to MTV. Whether I'm doing something and just having the channel in the background or just watching, it was my first go-to channel. and there, I discovered this song and it just really dragged me. That was also the same situation as my 3rd and 4th favorite song. :)
3. "Turbulence" by Paramita
4. "Diamond Shotgun" by Chicosci
... So I'm guessing that you guys now know that I have a thing for rock songs. ROCK SONGS ARE AWESOME. Whether it's punk, slow, metallica, screamo or whatever, rock will always be awesome for me. :bd
5. "Ikaw na na na" by G2B boys
Anything familiar? Yeahp! It sounds like Treasure by Bruno Mars. I think they really used that song as a base because during the "Got to Believe" series, that song was still a huge hit. And um. Yeah, I discovered that song from that show. I really loved that show. It always gave me the jiffys or it always made me feel "kilig". Erm, "kilig" is actually a Filipino word that can't be translated. Sorry! :(
and now my last favorite and my recently discovered one:
6. "Paligoy-ligoy" by Nadine Lustre
Too cheeky for me? I thought so too! But the song's so catchy and now, I can't get it off of my head. I still hum it once in a while and I'm having urges to dress up like her. yes, with the pigtail thing.
But then, it reminds me of "Little Secrets" by Passion Pit. So.. I have an excuse! ;)
Those are all my favorites! :) I've heard of some else but they just aren't my taste. They can be too 'jejemon', too trashy or painful to the ears, too blergh. :/
So guys try listening to these songs! They're really great. Well, for me. :) if you're from a different country, I'm not sure if these will suit your tastes, but it's worth the try! :)
Till my next post, guys! Oh, and keep safe during Typhoons. It's that time of the year again. :/
Have a great day! xx
