Music and Photography
My laptop's spoilt (I can't get it to start -.- It died on me after the power trip yesterday, which coincidentally happened when I was watching 2012. Quite scary!) but still, I'm still blogging!
Stayed at home the whole of today cos I was kinda lazy.. (was in the lazy I-wanna-sleep mood)
No mood and kinda no company to go the library.. But nevertheless, forced myself to study though and I almost finished the 2nd chapter of my 1st subject! Yay.. But still very behind cos my final exams' in 7th May.. Time crunch to the max!! =@
This morning I received calls "rejecting my application" from the companies I sent my resumes to yesterday (so fast!) They said they're looking for executives NOW (and aren't willing to wait TILL JUNE when I finish my final exams). I could understand that (the unwillingness to wait cos I'm not like an exceptional scholar and I guess in some way, I'm just expendable as any fresh normal graduate out there) and I appreciate that they called to tell me so I won't wait my ass off and at least I know lah (Rather than think OMG why no calls? Did they at least see my application?)
Oh well, I'm gonna just keep on keeping my fingers crossed.. It will be fantastic if the job I get would be related to Marketing/Events, and enable me to travel overseas occasionally that exposes me and trains and develops me. At the end of the day what matters the most is that I learned something (and move from fresh struggling ignorant bird in the dog-eat-dog world to someone more confident and aware..) I would NOT want to be like an assistant doing ONLY "office errands boy" kinda work..
Anyway, job matters aside, I tried to study. But it was utterly boring because I so lacked the motivation and the drive! (The start is always the hardest they say) But with music, I can sustain abit.. kinda (though I did get very distracted daydreaming, "fashion showing") Was using my Wifi and Ipod to access Youtube to savour songs while studying to beat the Zzz monster..
And I hit gold!
There's songs from Ellie Goulding that's real good.
I don't know how to "categorise" her music cos I never really know music genres, but I guess it's like Digital and like Alternative? Bah, I don't know, but what matters is she's good.
She's got a real unique voice and she reminds me of a little of Lily Allen and Imogen Heap!
and for some weird reason when I sing along she puts me feel like dancing/like a nymph/flow-ey mood..
I particularly like her Guns & Horses, The End and Fighter Plane (as well as Starry Eyed: the first song I listened of her- for some reason I thought she's Bjork -.- and I'll Hold My Breath**- prev called Swimming Pool)
Also dawned upon Marina and the Diamonds' Hollywood (real catchy) too and I liked it!
Funny thing, listening to Guns & Horses I imagined how the music video should be.. I imagined how I would've done it if I'm the singer (I guess you could say I have a "Precious" moment - that's a movie - if you've seen it you'd understand what I'm talking about ^-^) with scenes like..
A girl walking to running (with flowy hair and light drapey clothes)/breezy atmosphere that changes to dark atmosphere then light again?/digitalized arty moving background/playing of guitar/roses' thorns/falling papers or photos and perhaps burning them?/binding/being bound/screens/falling into a hole and also in the water (perhaps can make use of scenes from Eternal Sunshine of A Spotless Mind since the song is kinda related- erasing of negativity - if only it's that easy! - and such)
LOL. Honestly, sometimes I wish I am a music video director or those good people who fits songs into movie scenes.. that's such a fabulous job to have (I could imagine the stress that comes with it too, but it'd be awesome to be in such a line of work.. -.-)
.. Gah. What a daydream. I'm such a music nut sometimes, it's crazy. It goes to the extent that after I finish watching a movie (on DVD) I'd wait till credits to roll and I'd pause and unpause it, one by one, I'd search for the music in Youtube and listen to them! And occasionally I seek for good music with the help of Top 100 Charts. Can NEVER HAVE ENOUGH OF GOOD MUSIC I can identify with =)
Oh well, anyway I saw a TV ad for Canon'sPowershot SD1400 IS Digital Camera recently and I was fascinated by it! I don't know how much it cost (and am too broke to afford it anyway) but it has like Fisheye function! That's like so cool. It's like a lomographic digital camera (which reminds me of my retired barely used Holga T.T)! But it still isn't perfect..
*My Definition of a Perfect Camera*
It'd be awesome, if any company can have (ok I may not be that realistic here) lomographic effects like fisheye + miniature effect (like this camera provides) + RICH/FADE-Y artistic colors + makeup effect (for the face conscious) + the function that enables you to turn the panel to see how you look when you take the photo so you can adjust how you look (you know like taking a neoprint you can adjust how you look.. my brother's camera have that.. it'd be.. for the camwhorers.. )
OMG you can't believe it. My TV's on and just as I'm typing this, the advertisement came on.. Haha..
How coincidentally weird (and kinda funny considering I only saw that advert once recently till now)
And.. Goodness gracious.. It's 10.47 PM. I'm online for so long! Gotta get back to my books.
Shall end of the good ol' lyrical way again.. With a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics. It's so sweet..
If only pain/negativity/hurts and wounds can be erased/healed just like that, I would want that.
And I want to give that to the people I love as well..
I would want to change the past so it would hurt less, do things differently..
Everyone who has let themselves love that much before would have wanted that.
So I guess this song is gold and digs deep because everyone could identify with that.
If only love could hurt less. And saying that reminds me of yet another song I heard today, Hardest of Hearts by Florence and The Machines (but haven't grown to really like it yet. Maybe in time, I'd appreciate? Cos some songs are like that)
Ellie Goulding - Guns & Horses
You're so quiet
But it doesn't phase me
You're on time
You move so fast, makes me feel lazy
And let's join forces
We've got our guns and horses
I know you've been burned by every fire is a lesson learned
I left my house
I left my clothes
Door wide open
Never knowing
You're so worthy, you are
But I wish I could feel all it for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would
Let's tie words
'Cause they amount to nothing
Play it down
Pretend you can't take what you've found
But you found me
On a screen you sit permanently
I left my house
I left my clothes
Door wide open
Never knowing
You're so worthy, you are
But I wish I could feel all it for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would
It's time to come clean
And make sense of everything
It's time that we found out who we are
Cause when I'm standing here in the dark
I see your face in every star
But I wish I could feel all it for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would
I'd do it all for you, I would
