Baby let's dance. (#TT150)

Hello lovelies!

How has the first month of 2015 been? I think I'm pretty much slacking in everything. I haven't really set my goals yet and I've been eating really bad lately, not sure why but I guess it's pure laziness lol. Imma start setting some goals this weekend, I've bought a cork board to hang on my wall to put up everything I wish to achieve this year.

Here are some cool songs that I've been listening to lately! Hope you like 'em :) 

I really miss blogging and playing music. I guess I just got caught up in life and abandoned things that I love to do. Thus, CORK BOARD, yes I'll do that. 

Recently I kind of get some inspirations to write again. I remember during my emo-est days I tended to write a lot then life got boring and I stopped writing "deep" or poetic posts lol. But yes, life got more interesting again so stay tuned!

Have a wonderful weekend!

xo, Jo

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

Never let go of me (#TT126)

Heyo, never let go of me

Hold tight it's gonna get hard to breathe I will never let you drown Even if we're going down 

Heyo, never let go of me When I'm sinkin'

Loose lips sink ships that's what someone told me

But this boat will stay afloat for as long as you hold me

We been through rough water anytime it was tougher

But the fact I came back to remind you I love ya

And if that's not enough, well I can one up ya

I pinky promise touch thumbs I'll never make you suffer

And all I ask in return is some reciprocation

I'll be your oxygen when you're running out of patience

So take a deep breath, and hold it tight

My heart is yours just reassure me that you'll hold it right

Don't be offended, I'm just the cautious type

To always be around and hold you down and never under, like

This is my message in a bottle, I hope that you receive it

If it washes up at your feet then open it and read it

To whom it may concern, insert your name here

It's destiny that we were both born in the same year

Three months apart, but on the same sphere

Staring at the sun, inhaling the same air

This type of love we got, they'll never get it

I'll be the Leo DiCaprio to your Kate Winslet

Sometimes I panic but I never take it for granted

I'll hold you 'til my lips turn blue like Jack in Titanic

And if I lose my grip, then just promise me this

You'll keep my love in a locket and always rock it, like

There's times where like, we find it hard to hold on to something

That was never meant to be held onto

But you let it go, if it comes back it was meant to be

If not, just let it be

This song pretty much describes what I wanna say.

Check out another great song by 2AM Club:

Putting a smile on your face :) (#TT114)

Hello lovelies!

There are 3 songs that I wanna share with you this week.

The first one is a song that you've probably already heard, it's "Everything Has Changed" by T Swift and Mr. Lovely Ed Sheeran. The video is totes adorbs! The media has been gossiping about the "hidden meaning" of the video, which might link to Taylor and Ed's possible romance -.-

Although the prediction is possible to be true, but hey come on, can we just enjoy the music video? People are over analyzing sometimes..

The next one! JoJo! 

She came up with a new mixtape, "Agápē", around late last year and this is an official music video from one of the singles! I really like her new hairstyle, I think it suits her well (or probably just because I like short wavy bobs which is why I chopped my hair off and got it permed) :)

It's a shame that this was not an album, I mean, the tracks on this mixtape SO deserve to be sold as an album. Same goes with her previous mixtape, "Can't Take That Away From Me". 

Click HERE for FREE download of Agápē!

Next: 2AM Club!

I've always loved every single of 2AM Club's song, but I'm not so sure of this one.. It sounds more like an uncreative pop song these days. I'm not trying to be mean, it's just a little disappointing :/ I'm still looking forward to hearing their other songs in the future though!

Till' the next post!

xo, Jo

Jammin’ on the 100th (TT#100)

Wow! It’s the 100th post of Tuneful Tuesday! YAYYY!

Let’s celebrate it with some 2AM Club and Paramore, shall we? :)

The latest single of 2AM Club. The music video is like a bunch of home old school videos combined together haha. Catchy tunes as usual!

The first single of the upcoming Paramore’s new album! Aghhhhh!!!! Can’t lie that they sound a little different and I wasn’t sure if I liked it in the beginning. But after a few more listen it’s getting there :)

Bonus! Another masterpiece by ThePianoGuys featuring the talented Lindsey Stirling. The video is cool!

Do you like my picks this week?

Have an awesome week ahead!

xo, Jo

It's October?! (#90)

Hello lovelies!

Yes, I know it's been forever since my last post, which is WHY my playlist this time is longer than usual. I can't believe that I only have one post for September! 0.0 Sigh..

Anyways, enjoy! :)

Taylor Swift wrote a song for a boy who lost a battle with cancer. This song definitely shakes up your emotions at least a tiny bit!

New country boy that I feel has a great potential to be in the "Rising Artist" list. He has a character, plays many music instruments and possesses that cute little face. Not to mention that he has a catchy name. What else could you ask for, right? This song is just super sweet and I simply love the monochrome style of the music video. 

How I missed All Time Low!! Finally they're back with a new album "Don't Panic" which hit the stores yesterday! I really like the lyrics of this song. Totally can relate to some parts of it since I just started working!

Yes yes YESSS!!! I'm always excited when 2AM Club releases a new song :D I have to honestly say that this is not so much of my type of music but this band never failed to impress me :)

Seems like lots of artists are back with a new album this year. Ke$ha is definitely one of them! I think she shows more vocals in this song, which is good. I wanted to say that this song is so catchy but DUH, "catchy" is Ke$ha's middle name. 

ThePianoGuys' rendition for David Guetta's Titanium. A club song made into classical - how brilliant! I look up so much to these guys. They always combine today's songs with classical songs and every single cover turn out amazing. They are TRUE musicians, like really.

Finally the most anticipated song for a highly anticipated movie, "Skyfall" by Adele for the new James Bond movie. I really like how the instruments sound in this song - very "James Bond-ish" :P

Hope you enjoyed this playlist! Which one is your favorite?

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
