Why I Love Awesome OSTs.

With all the hype buzzing around New Moon, I can't help but get myself caught in it as well. Well, I am still a BIG fan of Robert Pattinson.

Lucky this time around, the OST came out a month earlier before the movie premier.

Like previous one, this time it features awesome music makers.

The likes of Thom Yorke (kill yourself if you don't know him), The Killers (my all-time favorite), Bon Iver (faints), Anya Marina (super awesome), OK Go (back to The O.C. days), Lykke Li (electric), Grizzly Bear (screams) and some well known ones like Muse and Death Cab For Cutie. Well, no Paramore this time around.

It's ironic that this VERY mainstream movie uses indie-based and up-and-coming artists for its soundtrack.

Well, at least someone has noticed something. :D

Full listing below;

Death Cab for Cutie
—”Meet Me On The Equinox”

Band of Skulls—”Friends”

Thom Yorke—”Hearing Damage”

Lykke Li—”Possibility”

The Killers—”A White Demon Love Song”

Anya Marina—”Satellite Heart”

Muse—”I Belong To You (’New Moon’ Remix)”

Bon Iver & St. Vincent—”Roslyn”

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club—”Done All Wrong”

Hurricane Bells—”Monsters”

Sea Wolf—”The Violet Hour”

OK Go—”Shooting the Moon”

Grizzly Bear—”Slow Life”

Editors—”No Sound But the Wind”

Alexandre Desplat—”New Moon (The Meadow)”

So, start hitting stores and get the OST.

Oh-So-Random 51.

I was watching MTV, and Katy Perry was on it because of the EMA thingy that she hosted/will be hosting.

And I noticed something.

Is it just me that Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel look very much alike? They could pass as twins next to each other.

I wonder what loverboy has to say about this. Haha.

Rather Die Than Cheat.

I still don't understand why people cheat on their partners. Up until today. To a certain extent, yes, I do understand. But the not wanting to tell your partner and get it over with, instead continuing with the relationship. It bothers the hell out of me.

Maybe it's not the cheating part, but the continue to cheat part.

When you cheat, you have to lie, and then lie to cover your lies. Life is complicated enough already. You have to sneak behind your partner's back. Be very conscious/paranoid of everything. And in this social networking age, you even have to create a new profile, with a pseudonym, just so your partner won't catch you cheating. Yes, some people do that. Some people like you.

And then, you can't be romantically involved with more than 1 person at a time, unless it's a mutual understanding that you are practicing open relationship. Then, it's fine. But I'm pretty sure that only a handful of people do this.

I mean, the thought of touching other person than your partner, kissing other people than your partner, spending time and all the things you do with your partner, you are doing with another person as well. And then doing all of that again, with your partner.

I somehow think it is horrendously gross. And irresponsible. And very selfish.

There's nothing exclusive in your relationship anymore.

Don't blame me if I don't have any soft spot for anyone who has cheated on their partner. Because it is logically unacceptable to cheat and continue cheating.

And somehow, sometimes, I find myself praying that these people who have cheated on their partner, will be cheated on, someday. Just so they know how it feels to be cheated on.

Especially you.

Trust me, your whole world will come tumbling down, by then.

Received, Yesterday.

I have recently received 2 job alerts. And they seem interesting. One is research consultant and the other is editor. Of course, if I have to choose between the two, I will go with the latter one. Just because I have language background and it would be really really awesome to edit people's work. Haha.

I have this thing with me, back when I was still studying, every single time people came out for presentation, my friends and I would start to scan those slides and look for the mistakes and errors. Turned out, this habit of ours became handy when we had to do the same thing for our Error Analysis course during the last semester. Boy, I miss those days.

And now, the only people I would irritate by doing this is loverboy. Just because he has this habit of putting 's' at every verb even when it involves plural subjects. Feel sorry for him though because he has to live with this. :D

Yesterday was awesome, though loverboy and I were tired. Watched Cloudy finally, after a few weeks of sidetracking. And we skipped PD because I wanted to skip PD. And I knew he was tired, because of his COD session with the boys and he had to wake up early the next day for work. And he asked me to choose which song that will be the ring tone every time I call, because calling him nowadays is a nightmare! Haha. So, I picked Vampire Weekend's Walcott. If he doesn't wake up still, I might just have to drop a bomb next time. Ngeh.

I haven't heard his voice yet for today. Just let him sleep because in less than 3 hours time he will be here and we will have lunch and he will send me to work. Yay. :D

Yes, I work on Sundays. Poor me.

I Told You So.

Like I said, it's like watching Gossip Gal, minus the gorgeous, gorgeous wardrobe and of course, the oh-so-flawless people.

It's funny how one's life can relate so much to a TV series.

Still, it's fun to watch.

I can't wait for the next thing in line.

Surprise me, will you?

Lucky? I Think So.

I think I am very lucky to be in love with a (terrific) guy who spells love, L-O-V-E instead of L-U-V.

:D

Pain.


Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you least expect it. Hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it and life always makes more.

One Of The Things I Am Good At.

My paycheck is in. Yay me! But I spent some on buying stuff online and some chiffon-ish material to make shawls I barely have nothing left. Haha. I prefer to make my own shawls because I can choose the material and it's much cheaper than buying the ready made ones.

And I want to go thrifting so badly I might ask loverboy to skip his work and go to PD to this thrift store. Haha. But not gonna happen. Maybe tomorrow. Or next week.

I have a lot of things I want to do this week BUT I don't have enough time. Sigh.

One of the gals is getting engaged tomorrow, dang! I am so freaking excited. One by one starts to settle down, I feel so old already. And in December, one is getting engaged and another is getting married. Boy, boy.

After the engagement, I am going to see Mocca and Yuna and another opening act I can't recall. It's been ages since I last went to events. I miss the days when I didn't have to work and the only thing I did was attending events every other week. And I don't know what to wear to the engagement and the event. Should I wear something practical for both and change for the latter? Well, let's worry about that tomorrow. :D Poor loverboy has to tag along even he doesn't even listen to Mocca.

And tonight, I am going to watch The Time Traveler's Wife. Weehuu. I am half-way reading the book, so I am spoiling it for myself. Haha.

And for now, I am just going to stay in and do laundry and tidy up my room and take some pictures of stuff I want to sell because I don't know what else to do with them and talk to loverboy until he's here for the movie later at night.

Ouh, what a blissful Friday!

And, and, and I will even order in my food so I don't have to shower and go out to buy food. :D

Now, that's what I call a lazy Friday.

Oh-So-Random 50.


Stop talking about love. Every asshole in the world says he loves somebody. It means nothing. It still doesn't mean anything. What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you say you love, that's what matters. It's the only thing that counts.

Oh-So-Random 49.

It's only half way through the week, and everything is all messed up already. You should never ever start your week on the wrong feet. And never go to bed angry. Really.

With some people trying to spice things up, work is catching up, pressure to be handled, while-menstrual symptoms popping out.

This will be one hell of a week.

Poor loverboy.

I know I am not the easiest person to be with, probably one of the bitchiest, but I appreciate you wanting to be a part of my life, for this long.

And I will make sure it's all worthwhile.

At least I'll try. :)

Starting with surprising you with your favorite cotton candy in less than an hour time.

You deserve it, love.
