More Paramore!
I've been scanning my collection of CDs from when I was young the other day (by young, I mean back when I was 13 years old), looking for an album to listen to because I was pretty tired of the music currently on my playlist. I stumbled upon the album All We Know Is Falling, the first one by Paramore, one of my favorite bands. This was the disc I decided to put into my dusty old CD player. Out blasted their signature punk-rock sound alongside Hayley William's amazing voice. I was half-shocked and half-amused to find out that I still knew the lyrics to their songs. From the first track All We Know Is Falling to Pressure to My Heart, I was singing my throat off with such mediocrity. Nostalgia took over me. I remember how I got to discover Paramore. I was watching TV and Myx was on, I saw a pretty little lady with fire-like hair and red lipstick. The video was that of Misery Business. I immediately forced my mom to buy me a copy of their album. As soon as I got the CD, I inserted it onto the car stereo system. I automatically loved all the songs. At the same time as being nostalfic, I was also slowly falling in love with their music again. Some time ago, I saw their video of Brick by Boring Brick, and I did not quite like it. It was the "..bury the castle..." line that turned me off. And since then I thought Paramore was going downhill. I didn't even go to their concert here in Manila, which I heard was awesome. I've never regretted not attending. Up until now. Now, I totally want to turn back time and buy tickets. It's too late, I guess. My only hope is for them to come here again. And that may be a long time from now. Sigh, the best thing to do is to download their newest album Brand New Eyes and see how much they've evolved since Riot. :)

I wanna rock and roll all night!
First of all, I'm sorry for not posting anything new these past couple of weeks. It's because I've been busy with stuff and didn't have much time to write. Anyway, guess what? I got a new electric guitar! Heck yeah! This baby could open up a lot of possibilities for me and make my life a lot more interesting. I'm so crazy about this guitar that I decided to name it. I mean her. She's Alexis Silva, born on the 1st of May 2010. LOL. Why Alexis? Simply 'coz I find the name sexy. Silver because her skin color's, well, Silver, and I sort of think that Silva is a cool name too. She's a curvy silver Les Paul-shaped electric guitar. Carrying her is a yellow strap that has a "Police Line, Do Not Cross" imprinted on it. Currently, I've made four covers namely Bad Reputation by Joan Jett, My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson, Bad Romance by Lady Gaga, and the first solo of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. You could check those out on Youtube, or Facebook. Well, what are you waiting for? Check it out. Now. LOL
