I’m probably using the term ‘pick ups’ in the wrong context but I couldn’t think of anything right now. Yeah, obviously I didn’t buy shoes, you can cross that off the list. I thought it sounded cool tho, so..

So okay, what a day. I was out from morning – afternoon doing errands and personal errands. My entire afternoon was spent roaming around SM Mall of Asia until the person I’m supposed to meet shows up on our agreed time so I can get these new gadgets I ordered this morning. I’m certain that I have went around the entire mall in that 3 hours of waiting.

Three hours later, I got a confirmation text saying that the guy is at the meeting place and just approach him so I can pay up and get my items.

Sounds sleazy, huh? That’s what I thought, too. Lol. When I met the person (probably just one of the assistants of the person who runs the business where I got my gadgets), he seemed harmless. Anywaaaay!

New toys!!!

Can you guess which album this little birdy is from?

Aside from the obvious that I bought myself a new digicam and an external flash for my DSLR, can you guess what’s the other item that I bought? Continue reading →

On my first attempt to make a quick mix consisting of just 8 tracks

Lazy Saturdays: A particular Saturday wherein you don’t feel like getting out of your bed and you just want to lock yourself in your room all day.

Today is one of those days.

I woke up late today from staying up really late last night from watching trailers at YouTube mostly of Jim Caviezel’s movies and interviews. Go watch that particular interview of him with Will Ferrell when you can, that cracks me up everytime. )

When I woke up this afternoon it was almost 2pm. So, the usual, I go online and I chanced upon this website from one of the people I follow on tumblr. A site called 8tracks.com where you can make mixes consisting of 8 tracks (or more? not sure). Their only rule is your mix should not have more than two tracks of the same artist.

So much for a ‘quick mix’, making my first one actually took me an hour. From deciding which songs to put up to making the impromptu album art.

Be nice to my first ever legit quickly put up mix, please?

Making mixtapes for me is kind of a hit and miss thing. I don’t get it sometimes, like, is there a formula for it? All I know is, what was running in my mind while deciding the songs is that they should be mellow, chill and ‘light sounding’ songs. I hope those three were achieved with the songs I put in here.

Not The First Time Lily Dreams On: A Rainy Saturday Mix by Anna
(this list is not in order but these are the songs I put in)

1. The Weepies – Stars
2. Jason Mraz – Summer Breeze
3. Jack Johnson – Hope
4. Norah Jones – Don’t Know Why
5. Ingrid Michaelson – The Way I Am
6. Feist – Brandy Alexander
7. Cultured Pearls – Not This Time
8. Cotten Mather – Lily Dreams On

Incase you haven’t figured it out yet, the title is a mashup of the last two songs. XD

Yesterday was probably the busiest day I’ve had yet as far as my pre-graduation streak of procrastinating around is concerned. I had school in the morning up until early afternoon for graduation practices. Later that afternoon, I met with a friend (brought along our mutual friend with us) and went to the Mall of Asia to try out this Mexican restaurant my friend and I were talking about a week ago. Last but not the last, we went to this groovy bar somewhere in Malate, Manila to watch one of my friend’s favorite bands.

Tiring but it was satisfying in a way that I was busy all day. Hey, at least I got out of the house after all the weeks of rotting like a vegetable. )

Here’s a teaser from my busy Saturday. The rest of the photos are under the cut!

Edrik, Jortz, Kervin, Andrew, Nem fooling around

Boys will be boys, hahaha.

Um, most of my photos are of them because since I graduated late (my friends, “barkada” if you will, graduated last July) I didn’t know most of the people I’m graduating with in this batch ‘cept for these people. Hm, no, wait, I do know most of the people as familiar faces. As for acquaintances, I didn’t get a proper photo with them though because we were in a hurry to get our photos shot, my cap kept falling off and that annoyed me, tldr, mopey Anna had difficulty asking people to take photos w/ other people lol. K.

Music Wrap-Up Sundays

Lately I’ve been jumping from one activity to another. It’s bad because I don’t get to focus but at this point do I really have a choice? I’ve earned this much free time and I’ll do whatever the hell I want (except spend all my savings in one place).

One of the things I’ve been spending extra time on is fixing my music library for my iPod, iTunes library and having a hi-res backup of these albums burned to a DVD.

Also, I’ve been on the hunt for new music, too. It’s convenient that most of the new releases that pops nowadays are from artists that I listen to frequently. Check out my current (old and new) album picks after the cut!

Featuring the new albums of Evanescence, Demi Lovato and Blink 182 and Young the Giant!

Right after I got home from meeting with my class regarding our upcoming exhibit at the end of the month, I went online to check on my online accounts. I was surprised when Bev tagged me in one of the posts in Splintr’s facebook wall. Little did I know that a surprise was waiting for me at the end of the line… Continue reading →
