The Flashback Friday Playlist

It has been one week since Animusika, and I still have a hang-over. I can't help but smile, especially when I think about what Kean Cipriano of Callalily did to me, which is really, really sweet. Our story deserves a new post. ;) It was surreal to see Spongecola once again in the grounds of DLSU, performing. It was nice seeing Yael and the rest of the band feeling at home in their alma mater's arch rival. And Parokya ni Edgar's performance was one for the books! I've never seen Sam YG, Slick Rick, and Tony Toni take photos and videos of their performances! That night was crazy, totally!

In this playlist, I chose the songs which these bands performed on the last night of university week. Whenever these songs are played, I get flashbacks of my highschool days. And... as I type this, I just realized that these songs are nearing the decade zone already! Am I getting old? Hahaha! :p

The Feels and the Chills

It has been two years since the last time I saw Up Dharma Down in the flesh. The band performed in the culminating activity during the university week of DLSU. I still remember that night, as if it happened yesterday. I did not join my college friends in the karaoke session in a nearby building because I wanted to see them play our favorite songs such as Tadhana, Indak, and Oo. The only thing I regret up to now is not getting a picture with the Armi Millare. If I see them again, I will not let this opportunity pass.

If you had read my entries that involve Up Dharma Down, you would know how much I love listening to the band's songs. Up Dharma Down is the contemporary equivalent of the Eraserheads, another legendary Filipino band; the band that started it all. People who listen to Up Dharma Down will agree with me if I say that their songs never fail to give "the feels" and the chills whenever you hear them on the radio, on the local music channel, or on your personal music players. When you listen to them, everything around you seems so magical, as if they sprinkled each song with a pixie dust. I must say, the songs the members write come from the heart. No wonder, a lot can relate to them.

I remember posting about Luna, the second single the band has released from the latest album, Capacities, and all I said was "asdfghjkl" because words cannot describe how I felt upon hearing the song and reading its lyrics. Ganyan sila kagaling, magiging speechless ka. ;)

Armi and the rest of the band did it again with Feelings. I was listening to the whole album this afternoon and it is another "asdfghjkl" moment for me. One thing is for sure: this is my second favorite from Capacities, next to Luna.

 
What are you crying for... when it's just a feeling...

God knows you can get through this...

I wanna know, do you feel anything for me?

Is there anything you like to say tonight?

Before I go... before I go forever...

The Friends

Quoting Elbert Hubbard, "A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you." 

This quote describes the two people close to my heart, Joy and Maggie. They are the kind of friends that you will forever treasure. They are the friends truly worth melting for. ;) Thank you for spending time with me last Saturday, Joy and Maggie! I'm so happy that finally, your paths have crossed. I'm looking forward to our next lunch or dinner date. Love you both!:)

The Upbeat Songs Playlist

Aside from welcoming the new year with a smile and positivity, I made a new playlist on my player. I've got a lot of plans for this month and one of them is to clean my room. Listening to slow songs doesn't make me productive at all. Hence, if I listen to happy and more upbeat songs, cleaning will be much more fun and productive. Here are some songs included in my playlist. ;) 

Feel This Moment by Pitbull featuring Christina Aguilera

Work B**ch by Britney Spears

Clarity by Zedd featuring The Foxes 

These songs will keep you going and you might be dancing like nobody's watching. Hihi. :p

The New Year Goal

 

 I shall fill this jar with all the good things that will happen this year. Happy vibes all the way! :)

 

 Wishing you all a blessed and an amazing New Year! Let's make this year OUR year. ;)
