I can't stop posting something about Paramore because of Parahoy videos. I guess if the band never played for almost a year, you will really appreciate them more.
Hayley said too much before singing in this video that I think everyone should hear. I'm thankful that this kind of speech was captured, its a good reminder not just for the Parafamily but for everyone.
HTSYH is one of my favorite and I think we need to hear it once in a while.
The ironic thing about declaring your happiness is that life doesn't just stay where you are, it keeps going. I hate to break it to you but happiness should never be the goal, it shouldn't. Maybe hope should but happiness shouldn't. I guess what I wanted to say to sum all that up to say really quickly is that don't let being sad or being upset about something take your hope away from you, ever.
Sometimes, life just hits you right in the face and its alright because I for one I think its kind a cool to have a black eye every now and then. I think it looks good. Show you've been in places, done things and I think its definitely okay to have scars and definitely okay to hurt and be in pain and show it. That's why we have friends in this life and that's why we have music.
Well, I'm just a fool for you And I think I'm going crazy I can't control myself or contain my thoughts It's eating me up inside Now I see everything a little more clearly The bad outweighs the good things Was this ever a good thing for me? Was this ever a good thing for me?
You're just a phone call away Every day you seem further away (You're just a phone call away) I do my best to throw my pride aside and apologize Cut myself down a notch (Every day you seem further away) And I know I said some things that hurt Through ninety-seven missed calls I'll finally get over you
All I, all I really wanted was a good job A nine-to-five never seemed to cut it Was too wrapped up in her to be working like that Soon you'll see that everything will work out for me So keep your promises you promised to me
You're just a phone call away Every day you seem further away (You're just a phone call away) I do my best to throw my pride aside and apologize Cut myself down a notch (Every day you seem further away) And I know I said some things that hurt Through ninety-seven missed calls I'll finally get over you
You're taking me places I've never been You're feeling me out And I'm filling you in What's more important than saving yourself From letting me in? What's more important? What's more important? What's more important? Saving yourself from letting me in
You're just a phone call away Every day you seem further away (You're just a phone call away) I do my best to throw my pride aside and apologize Cut myself down a notch (Every day you seem further away) And I know I said some things that hurt Through ninety-seven missed calls I'll finally get over you
Well, I'm just a fool for you And I think I'm going crazy I'm just a fool for you And I think I'm going crazy I'm just a fool for you And I think I'm going crazy I'm just a fool for you And I think I'm going crazy
I'm digging some Paramore old songs ever since that " Oh Star" from Parahoy. The rebellious teenager in me can totally relate to this song and also to Stop This Song, Throwing Punches, Just Like Me, name it as long as it belongs to the B-sides of Paramore. I'm actually surprised that these songs haven't been to my "On Repeat" post but I think this will be my last Paramore entry for now because you may be sick of my Paramore posts. HAHA But I'm still addicted on watching some videos from Parahoy!!! I missed them so much and I'm happy that they're back. <3
Hello, hello? Is anyone home? Hello, hello? Just pick up the phone
I opened up my life to you, I told you everything I knew, You listened so closely to, You listened so close when love was just a way out But you're going deaf now, Yeah you turned your head around,
Hello, hello? Is anyone home? Hello, hello? Just pick up the phone, You'll be sorry to hear, I'm doing fine now, Sorry to hear, You're without me now
You blew up the world I built for us, Destroyed our secret universe, Threw out the trust I, put in you, Making me feel like I'd been used, And now I'm reminded, That I was just blinded,
Hello, hello? Is anyone home? Hello, hello? Just pick up the phone, You'll be sorry to hear, I'm doing fine now, Sorry to hear, You're without me now
I'm doing fine, You'll be alright, Maybe you'll think of me tonight, You're doing fine, And I'll be alright, Just give me time, yeah
Hello, hello? Is anyone home? Hello, hello? Just pick up the phone, I don't wanna hear, You're doing fine now, Don't wanna hear, I'm without you now
Oh Star, one of my favorite from the early days of Paramore and everything is being relive after Parahoy.
So jealous to everyone who experienced Parahoy
As they took some time off last year, I listened to a lot of artist but once in a while I still listen to Paramore but these past few weeks I've been listening to CHVRCHES (that was also on that cruise) and definitely no Paramore on my latest playlist but Parahoy happened and I think I'm just going to listen to Paramore songs all day again. I remember last weekend, I started to play some of their old songs like the B-sides and it feels so good. It feels like coming home after a long vacation.
I'm one of the people who are waiting so bad for updates from the ship (Parahoy) because I badly need some Paramore live shows in my life. Would you believe that until now, the last few HQ full-show videos that I'm still watching ever since are the iTunes Festival 2013 and Reading 2014.
Yeah, I'll be listening to Paramore for the next few weeks again and watch all these videos from Parahoy. bye for now .
Thank you to Parafamily for uploading your videos <3
Oh star fall down on me Let me make a wish upon you Hold on, let me think Think of what I'm wishing for
Wait, don't go away. Just not yet. Cause I thought, I had it. But I forget.
And I won't let you fall away, From me. You will never fade. And I won't let you fall away. From me. You will never fade away from me.
And now I let my dreams consume me, And tell me what to think. But hold on, Hold on. What am I dreaming?
Wait, don't go away. Just not yet. Cause I thought, That I had it. But I forget.
And I won't let you fall away, From me. You will never fade away. I won't let you fall away. You will never fade away.
And I won't let you fall away. You will never fade away. And I won't let you fall away from me, You will never...
can't find a decent video/audio of the original track that I can link here. This duet with Hayley will do since this is also the reason why I'm addicted to this song
Cover up, cover up, cover up that you're ruthless Nobody, nobody, nobody's ever gonna notice And I am catchin' up and I am seein' red How about I prove I'm right and raise it overhead?
I never promised you anything I couldn't do We tried to bury it and rise above, bury it and rise above You, you, you never promised me you were seeing differently Bury it and rise above, bury it and rise above
You, you You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above
Reaching, reaching for, reaching for my resistance Nobody, nobody, nobody sees it at a distance And I am catchin' up and I am seein' red How about I throw my way and raise it overhead?
I never promised you anything I couldn't do We tried to bury it and rise above, bury it and rise above You, you, you never promised me you were seeing differently Bury it and rise above, bury it and rise above
You, you You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above
I never promised you anything I couldn't do We tried to bury it and rise above, bury it and rise above You, you, you never promised me you were seeing differently Bury it and rise above, bury it and rise above
You, you You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above You bury it, bury it, bury it and rise above
I read Room in 2012 that was the first and the last time I read the book and 2015, its already a movie. I never knew that they will make this a movie not until I saw on iTunes months before the release date.
Room is one of the first book that I tried to read other than Mitch Albom that time because I was hooked on his books and now I'm not even reading his latest release. This is also one of the best books out there and I remember having all the feelings that I felt while reading and waiting for the next thing to happen. You can't just stop to flip the page.
I'm not going to spoil some other than the book/movie description that you can read somewhere here on the interwebs.
My comment/reaction: books will always be better than the movie adaptation.
I already read the book so I already knew what will happen but I never re-read the book before watching the movie. While on the latter part of the movie, I'm almost confused if those are the exact situation on the book. Of course, its different. I browse the latter part of the book and confirm there are a lot of changes even with the names and others.
I can't blame the author or the movie production that they can't do the same thing that's on the book. That's not possible anyway because when we read, we create another world that will just be understandable by ourself. I never imagined that Room is just that small, it was a little bit bigger on my head.
As cliche as it is, Read the book first then watch the movie or read the book and never see the movie. lol
That's for me but seriously, there are a lot more happening on the book than the movie. Its even super detailed on the words that was originally written by the authors and as a reader we know how this writing process is no joke.
Reading will take you away from reality for a while then you will be able to create a whole new world together with the characters. Watching is different, yes the feelings and the message was there but it was just like giving you a test with the answers on the other sheet of paper.
One reason why I haven't watch "Gone Girl" and "The Great Gatsby" because I want to read it first. Like any other book turned into movie, there will be always changes but the mystery is still hidden on those pages.
Sure I also watch a movie first sometimes but I discovered that the true story are written on those pages.
Anyway, just like "If I Stay" and "The Fault In Our Stars", "Room" should be read first before the movie. Its an awesome read so try it before watching if possible.

Room also got a very positive feedback from all over the place and people will surely be intrigued, so here's the trailer
Congratulations to the whole team for the awards and to Brie Larson for getting tons of Best Actress awards!

When I discovered how to use Ebay late last year and when I already know how usually we can get an international package, I ordered not too much but I already bought several items from all over the place and I was never asked to pay more than 100PHP ($2.30) on the post office until the arrival of my Canon 24mm where I was charged 1,135PHP ($26).
The box says it all, its a Canon 24mm lens and I was surprised that it was already on different box sealed with a PHL POST tape not an international box when this came from Korea. I want to compare it with a used Dr. Martens that I bought from UK (which I haven't blog about) that is literally much heavier/bigger and a little bit more expensive than this lens but I was never taxed more than 100PHP.
I'm not against on charging me more than 100PHP but it's also a bit funny and annoying at the same time most especially if I already received a huge box than this. Maybe because it's Canon but dang it the Dr. Martens (Bethan) cost more than this lens. Haha. Even it was already used but still, used docs usually have bigger value.
I don't know on how they compute taxes and all but if it's because of the price then it's reasonable but if you will just depend on the box itself or even on the country where it is from, then they should have some reality check.

For now, I'm really done shopping because it's time to save up.
