Hi! So you're wondering why I am still up this late? Well, I took a nap and woke up around 23:00. Couldn't sleep, so I decided to make a yelp account! I'm having fun so far. I love giving reviews. I can upload photos there as well. Cool.
Right now I just want to ... go skydiving! I think everyone should do it at least once in their life. I want to face my fears! I want to push myself to my limit. Skydiving
is definitely gonna be on my to-do list, and shall be done soon. Imagine the feeling you'll get after skydiving. Must be amazing. Enjoy
each and every moment of your life, my dear friends. You won't get the
same one twice.
Also, I really really want to move to France. Maybe stay there for a year and see how it feels like. I think I'm gonna love it there. A friend of mine says so too. I think all food and drink in France is amazing. Not only that, the French have a good fashion sense too. The arts, the culture, the history, the language - aaahh! I love almost
everything about this country. I kind of like the relaxed atmosphere
too.We'll see how this works out. I have my band here so I don't know if it's possible right now. But hey, wait, my band is definitely going to play music in France too! Haha :P

Paella?
Oh yeah, you hear me. PAELLA. So what about it? I realised just now how much I miss paella and that... I want it NOW! It's been ages. I really miss it! And oh I remember I tried making it once at home and my family liked it. Paella is awesome and it's not that unhealthy either. I love the colours as well. It's so colourful and it looks like a big feast! The prawns, mussels, chicken, egg, veggies and everything - gaaaah! I really love it. I think I'm gonna make it some time soon. I need to. I just googled paella and there's a bunch of tasty pictures! Some of them are funny, I thought. It just looks so random, I mean if you look at the things in it, in a big pan. Hahah. And I honestly think that, to get the best version of a certain dish, you must try eating it in the country it's coming from. I'd really love to try paella in Spain! And did I say I love travelling? I'd really love to travel all over the world and try different kinds of food! Just imagine a lovely, sunny day in a beach or somewhere in Paris, good food, a glass of wine (or beer), good music, and good company! I can't wait. I NEED TO GET OUT THERE AND CLAIM THE WORLD!

Ano'ng oras na. 12:33 na ng madaling araw.
Ano ba 'yan. Walang katapusang pagsusulat ng musika. Nakalimutan ko anong oras na pala.
Pero ayos lang dahil nakagawa ako ng kanta. 'Yung kanta na ito e hindi ko kanta. Ginawa ko lang 'yung music. 'Yung lyrics, melody, etc. Naisip ko mas bagay ito sa singer na lalake. E may kumpare ako na vocalist at 'yung genre nila ay medyo ganito kaya naisip ko sa kanya na lang 'to. Basta ako lang 'yung composer, hehe. Tingin ko bagay na bagay ito sa boses niya. Bagay rin na kanta ito ng banda niya. Ni-send ko kanina 'yung voice recording. Mabilis ko lang na ni-record sa phone ko. Aba . . . nagustuhan niya! Super awesome daw! Gustung-gusto niya yung guitar at yung melody ng kanta. NICE! Nakagawa ako ng good song. Ang saya! Haha. Tignan natin kung gawin nila itong kanta nila.
Kanina medyo nagbabasa-basa rin ako ng libro. Di ko pa rin tapos yung binabasa ko. Baka ipatuloy ko bago ako makatulog. Sana umaga na para makakain na ako ng breakfast, hahaha. Gusto ko na ng apple,yoghurt tsaka mani. Tapos gusto ko ulit magsulat ng music. Ang saya. Ito na lang lagi ang ginagawa ko araw-araw. Buong magdamag.

Make Some Music Sthlm! Haha.
So yeah, today was a day full of music in Södermalm. We loved it and wishes it was like this everyday. Or at least the whole summer. Would have been freaking awesome. I loved the atmosphere and music definitely unites everyone. Just see the smiles on people's faces! I and my friend were there and we walked around the whole town to go on some music adventure. It was really fun. We liked two bands. We thought they were quite good. Good songs, good musicians. We ate sushi at a restaurant in Kungshallen. We were quite hungry. While walking, I asked him to sing Fix You and oh my he just sounded like the vocalist hahaha. I was almost exploding it was so beautiful ! He sang so beautifully and he was laughing/smiling because of my funny reaction hahaha! It was cozy though I just loved listening to him singing as we walked. After a long day we realised how much we wanted to go out and play music for the people and yes that is our goal and this is gonna happen as soon as we have our songs fixed!!! We're so excited, inspired and motivated. Vi e så musiksjuka! Today was a great day.
PS: Coldplay's Fix You live video on YouTube brought me to tears. Again. It's just ... BEAUTIFUL.

Been singing and playing music
I've been singing and playing guitar and making music since I woke up. I've been watching lots of live videos of musicians I like as well. Mostly Halestorm videos. I just love Lzzy's powerful voice. She's such an inspiration right now! Been eating lots of yoghurt and nuts as well, haha. I just love them together. So good. Still trying to come up with a good melody for the verses of the song we're writing. I can't wait to hear the whole thing!
Realisation and stuff
There's one thing I realised today. It's that I will never be in a relationship if I'm gonna be this busy and passionate about music. I am saying this because I have started to notice it since last year, summer 2013. I broke up with my boyfriend because I want to prioritise music. For not a long ago I had a thing with a poetry guy but it didn't last either. This time it wasn't because of music but still, after we broke up, I realised I wasn't really meant for relationships. At least not right now. I think I can manage myself without being in a relationship, as long as I have music. The past few months I've been writing a lot of songs. I've started a rock band. I'm also working on a solo project. I'm really having fun. I think if I were to meet a new guy, he'd probably be the busy kind as well. He'd probably be as passionate as I am about career, and he would understand the whole thing, us being very busy and not having much time to spend time together and talk, but we'd still be together. Who knows, maybe he's a musician too? Maybe he's someone I will work with someday? We'll never know.
Been watching some youtube videos of the band Daughter. I like the band. I like the music. Now allow me to borrow some of their words and copy-paste them here, just because it's exactly how I feel about music.
“When I was a solo artist, I found it very, very difficult,” says the 23-year-old, with the first of many nervous giggles.
“There is nothing worse than playing in a pub or a club, or what have you, where absolutely nobody is interested. You are singing, they are talking loudly. It can destroy your confidence. It’s easier if there are three of you. You know you have somebody at your side. It makes a difference. I’m sure a solo career works for some people. It didn’t suit me at all. As a musician, I’m self-taught and felt I was restricted by my abilities.”
I totally agree here. I know I could go solo, but I realised it's not really my thing. It's easier if there are more people with you on stage. You know you're not alone. It definitely makes a difference. And yes, I am self-taught too! Wow. Such similarities. Haha. And I do feel restricted by my abilites, I gotta admit that.
“I think ‘demons’ might be slightly overstating matters. I hadn’t read that, actually. On the other hand, it’s true that everybody has a dark side. There is stuff I keep to myself, stuff which, if I didn’t write about it, maybe it would consume me. So, I don’t know, it could be ‘demons’ is true, in some way. Of course, I appreciate the irony of my having all these subjects I never talk about — and then going on stage and singing about them. It is a bit of a contradiction.”
"Music was the only thing I really enjoyed. It wasn't great at school. Music was something that I put all of myself into. It's something I naturally wanted to pursue." OH YEAH. I KNOW THAT FEELING.
"It was the moment where I thought well now is the time to go and do what you want to do and see if it works and see if you can have fun and live from it and so far it's kind of worked pretty well."
"I want to challenge our sound and just kind of expand it and experiment with different styles. I don't think we need to necessarily be contained into a small box." SAME HERE.
Music is the thing that excites me the most in life. I feel really good about it.

Home sweet home
So I'm back in the big city.
Last Friday I woke up around 8 to fix myself. My train was leaving around 9:45 or something like that and I was quite excited because I could finally visit Mom again. My train arrived almost an hour late. I got picked up so it was cool. I gave my presents to everyone in the house and they seemed very pleased. I'm glad. :-)
Around 6 pm I was picked up by a friend and we cooked dinner at his place. It was nice!
I have not been here in ages.
I have not been here for ages.
I have not been here since ages ago.
It has been ages since I was here last.
It is ages ago that I was here last.
It is ages since I have been here.
Okay, I'm just testing this sentence in different ways, haha! I just think it's fun. But yeah, it's true, I missed the F-town a bit. Nothing much has changed, still the same old F-town. Boring and dead, haha! At least we had fun. He prepared food and I didn't even need to help, haha. We had a candle-lit dinner. How cozy's that?! :) I appreciated his effort. I guess he was thinking it's been ages since we saw each other last, and that I am not in A-town that often. He bought me a bottle of red wine because I asked him to. It was the easiest way to go since the time was running and only he could do that. We played monopoly but didn't finish because we thought it got a little boring. We talked a lot about everything. We had lots of things to tell 'cause, as I said, it's been ages! I had a lot more to talk about than him though, haha. I got one beer from him as well. I stayed overnight because it was already very late. We had breakfast and watched a very funny movie called The Benchmarkers. Hahaha. I was really entertained. I thought it was really funny. Definitely my kind of sense of humor.
He drove me home around 3:30 PM and we went to Eskiln to buy ice cream. I noticed he used his leather jacket. I wonder if it's because I was wearing leather jacket too? Hahah. Anyway, the ice cream was lovely. People were kind of staring at us when we were at the store. He showed me a good place to hang out in summer too. Never seen the place before but definitely a must-visit! It was beautiful. Apparently there's some kind of event in F-town so we went there too. There was a live band and they were good but I was checking out their gears a lot. Couldn't help it, haha.
We walked around. Looked around. We didn't buy anything but once again people were staring at us as if they never seen a girl in black clothes before. Hahaha. Finally in A-town again, and he stepped out of the car to give me a hug. Yes, I do give hugs - for FREE. You better come over and get some before it gets priced. So I came home and there were lots of food. Mom was gonna have a girls' night, celebrating her birthday. The food was great. I fell asleep afterwards. I was only thinking of a nap but woke up after 3 hours, haha! Then I messaged my close friend Ida if we could meet up for a beer and have a little chat. We went to this bar that used to be ugly and dark and boring... but we were so surprised to see a completely new bar! I wonder if it's the same owner, but I can't deny the bar was beautiful! Amazing. I liked the new atmosphere. Fresh and very rock n' roll! The lp records framed on the wall, autographed guitars, drumsticks, drumheads and large music photographs on the walls! I was really happy. I don't usually feel happy when I visit A-town 'cause I think it's a really boring place, but when I saw this I got really glad. The music was good. Better than the other bars. Although sometimes they go from rock to something else. They should work this out, haha. We had one beer then we left and ate something at home. Ida stayed overnight. We woke up around 8:30 and had a quick breakfast then walked to the train station. I had to meet up with my close friend J first. We had a little fika and I told him about my band. I thought I already did but apparently not, so he was surprised and happy. He said he wanted to audition, but he's busy. We are going to have our last audition this Tuesday. It was nice to see him again. When I arrived home, I cooked food and felt weird afterwards so I took a nap. I woke up and decided to clean my place and renovate a little, haha. Now it feels more like a place where I can be more productive. I put some of my vinyls on the wall and now it feels much better to make music this way.
I showed this to a friend of mine who's also very passionate about music and he thought it looked really nice and he wants the same table as mine. Then I told him about what I feel about renovating my place and that I wanted it to look as artsy as possible because it makes me feel more motivated to work on music and stuff. He agreed and he said he wanted to do the same with his place and I think he wants me to help him out so yeah, I'm definitely up for some interior designing! :)
Right now I'm just trying to finish eating up a bunch of chocolate I got from my little brother. I am trying to avoid these things but unfortunately I keep on getting them. When my real running shoes arrive, I will absolutely forbid myself from munching these things! Must focus on training and eating healthy.
Anyway, I really think my place looks and feels cozier now!
