Daydreaming all the time (#TT130)

One of my bucket lists: to travel to a foreign land with my bff(s)

New favorite band!

Who misses PLL?? I know I do! A LOT.

2AM Club never fails to impress me. Maybe once with their “Miley Cyrus” song (no bias), but that was just one and only time.

Daydreaming has been my favorite past time activity but I’ve been doing it a lot more lately.

Probably I get sick of things around me. My room, my job, the people around me, this city, and most often, sick of being sad of a broken relationship I can’t save and being lonely in general.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful of what I have. I have a great family and friends back home who love me very much, as well as other things that make me feel blessed. I just want a change. I’m sick of this whole routine, which is weird because I’ve never complained about routines, but I guess I’m just bored of being stable, you know?

I’m at this stage of my life where I wanna see the other sides of the world, learn and see new things, go out of my comfort zone. Being a young graduate who has a stable job is great of course, many people can’t even find one. Then perhaps several more years down the road I’d get married and have kids, then probably continue working from home. That’s the common life story that people always expect right?

I don’t know how my life story would end up, but I definitely want to make good use of my early 20’s not to just get a good job that pays well, but more importantly the life experiences that I’ve been longing for. I have never done an internship nor work part-time before. This job I have is my very first job and it’s full-time. Isn’t it crazy? All my life has always been focused on academic stuff only. My resume is full of certificates but zero experience.

So I’ve been thinking lately that I wanna go somewhere to have a work + travel trip for at least a month in a foreign country. Somewhere I’ve never been before where I don’t know anybody. So yeah, if you know any good websites please let me know. So far the sites I’ve come across only accept US or UK passport holders.

Wow, I just puked everything out right there. It feels good to share about this though. I’ve never shared this to anyone yet.

I feel I’m getting more and more adventurous these days. I’ve tried a few new things and I can’t wait to try out even more, especially travelling.

I will continue my daydreaming as usual, paired with relevant actions, I’m sure I’ll make it somewhere.

xo, Jo the dreamer

Lady Gaga vs Katy Perry (#TT120)

Hello lovelies!

There's a handful of new singles being released officially recently, by which two of them are from our pop princesses, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry! Which one is better? You tell me!

We definitely can't wait for the official music videos, right? It will be another battle!

Other songs under my current playlist:

PLL's Keegan Allen and Cody Simpson at Teen Choice Awards 2013 (via Keegan's instagram)

Yes, I just feel the need to post this, because FINALLY they took a picture together! I've noticed their resemblance for forever so THANK GOD for this picture lol.   

Oh, and Pretty Little Liars won 7 awards at the Teen Choice Awards 2013!!! Whooooo!! #proudfan

Have a good week everybody!

xo, Jo

July Hits (#TT87)

Hello, lovelies!

I know what you're thinking.. it's been a month since my last post!!

No more excuses, let's just go straight to the music list! It's getting more like a monthly rather than a weekly thing now lol.

This video brings so much awareness. Love the message. RJA rules!!!

Matt and Kim is back with a new single! I really hope they're gonna release the official video soon.

Versa Emerge definitely likes to try new stuff. This song has a more pop twist into it. Some peeps love it, some don't. Me? I just like music :)

Musician youtuber teams up with the Pretty Little Liar goddess, Lucy Hale!!! Not gonna lie that they look cute together, although I really wanna see Ezra pop up in the video hahaha.

Love everything about this video :) and the song of course!

On a softer note, youtube teenage sensation, Dave Days, goes all acoustic with his piano which makes this song even sweeter :3

Last but not least, Happy Olympic Games!

xo, Jo

Rockin’ the short waves (#TT84)

Hello lovelies!

Just last Friday, Cher Lloyd released the US version official video of “Want U Back”, click here to view. But I personally like the original version better :) Plus, I really like her shorter hair in the original video!

I also love her style and attitude. Although she’s tiny, the fact that she’s only 18 still gave me a good surprise.

Few months ago, two of Pretty Little Liars stars also chopped their hair to shoulder-length and I guess I really REALLY like this hair style!

Ashley Benson 

Lucy Hale 

I actually wore this hair style back in 2009 when I saw a Japanese model wearing it and I straightaway knew that I wanted it! So I chopped my hair and got it permed. For the first few months it was alright, but since my hair is naturally super straight, fine and silky, it went back to straight really fast so I gotta put lots and lots of hair jelly/wax and hairspray. I needed to do this on a regular basis for over a year, until I gave up and just stopped applying hair products letting it back to straight :/ I miss it!! But my hair is so thin, limp and volume-less. Although if I get it curled, it won’t look as nice as Cher’s or Ashley’s or Lucy’s or anybody else who are granted with lots of hair. Plus, my hair gets tangled like craaaaazyyyyyy. Sigh.

End of my hair rant. Haha.

Despite all that, I still love my hair coz it’s soft and never get frizzy :) be grateful of what you have that others don’t, right? Hehe.

Give me some Benz! (#TT80)

Are you an obsessive gf/bf? Your partner might want to sing this for you lol.

Ok, HONESTLY, I chose this song this week because the music video features the greatly awesome Ashley Benson!!! How did I not find this out earlier?!

This song is pretty catchy, though, and I wish this song came out 3 years ago when I totally could relate to the lyrics! But now, the situation is rather irrelevant.

So if my bf purposely says, "I'll go out get drunk again" and "make out with all your dumb friends", I'd pretty much do the same thing as Ash in the video and will find him saying, "why are my clothes out on the street?" and "I can't believe I came home to find my car keyed". LOL.

I MISS PRETTY LITTLE LIARS! Have you seen the Season 3 trailer?

I. CAN'T. WAIT.

SORRY FOR THE CAPS.

Have a great week!!!

#PLL: The end of a beginning

Oh hay thereeee long time no post, I know (forgive me? *winkwink*). I’ll explain the whole MIA thing later but first! Let’s talk about Pretty Little Liars.

I’m pretty sure most of you have watched the last episode of season 2 of PLL in which A was revealed.

But it’s not over yet!!

I think Mona wasn’t the one who killed Alison. She may have been asked to torture the girls by being “A” but I guess Jenna (or Melissa) is still the main person behind Ali’s murder.

Previously, according to the writers and actors, the show was doing a total different thing from the books (not that I read the books but well), but apparently they DID follow the books as Mona was revealed to be A. Maybe I should start picking up the books? Hmmm.

Since I naively believed what the writers said to the fans (writers are liars!! lol), I had a wild guess that Toby or Ezra could be A. Haha.

Oh, and I’m really really REALLY curious who the black swan girl could be. At first I thought it could be Melissa, but Melissa is pregnant so it is unlikely for her to fit in that dress lol. I saw a post on Tumblr earlier that someone thought the girl resembled Ashley Marin (Hanna’s mom). Whaaaat??? THAT would be interesting.

Plus, the end of the episode opened up another mystery: Maya’s death. I think it should be related to this whole thing but I just haven’t constructed my hypothesis yet coz there’s so many things to process at once haha.That’s what PLL always does to me! My brain is too slow to digest! :p

Putting the mysteries aside, I LOVED the masquerade theme! Whose dress was your favorite? Mine was Hanna’s ;)

  CAN’T WAIT for Season 3!! I love their dresses in this picture :p

Thoughts? :)

xo, Jo

Tuneful Tuesday #10

Current obsession: 2AM CLUB!

Love this song so much! Fell in love with it when I first heard it in Pretty Little Liars and the lyrics are just amazing. I want to get their CD asap!

For as long long as I can remember
Its been December
No sun no summertime to treasure
We weren't grown
And every time that they told us surrender
"It will be better"
We'd just go holding on till forever
To what we know

Broken lover yes I made you
Believe that I would be the one to heal you
And if you go now
Out that doorway
I won't say you're wrong
But you know that I'll worry about you

For as long Long as she can remember
She wanted better
No home no one there to protect her
All alone
And so she told me, I was her center
Nothing would tempt her
I still roamed
Just like her father left her
Oohh he left her

Broken lover yes I made you
Believe that I would be the one to heal you
And if you go now
Out that doorway
I won't say you're wrong
But you know that I'll worry about you

Isn't it bad you've been a good victim
You thought I was worth it you act like I would listen
And maybe you were right at one point someday
I used to watch you treat the streets like a runway
I used to write with tears on your pretty painted face
Sign language on your back from the first taste
So when he whispers in your ear and you think of me
You wish I would've treated you like you treated me
When you wake up from your dreams to the hallway
Sleepwalking through the streets dressed in all gray
Blinking streetlamps in the window pane
I worried from the second that I learned your name

Everything in love is light
But where was I last night
And why don't you feel right

Broken lover yes I made you
Believe that I would be the one to heal you
And if you go now
Out that doorway
I won't say you're wrong
But you know that I'll worry about you

Everybody has a secret

Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave


Despite the creepy theme song, my obsession towards Pretty Little Liars is huge!
Meet Emily, Aria, Hanna and Spencer!

Who is your favorite 'liar'? I personally like Aria ;)

Intriguing plot, cool outfits, interesting music, and of course, charming hunks!
If I had a teacher like him I wouldn't blink even for a second in class!

Initially planned on watching the show to see Diego Gonzalez Boneta only and found out that the show just started so why not watch from the beginning? And apparently I got hooked badly!

Ian Harding!

Have a great weekend!

xo, Jo
