It's 1:30 in the morning here. I need to sleep because of work, but I'm still up and scanning a whole lot of songs to stock my new-old ipod classic (80gb) that my sister had bequeathed to me last christmas (since what seems like one-fourth of humanity have also taken to their iphones for that).

So the majority of songs on Suu (yes, that's her name :3) belong to Tori Amos, Tom Waits and Shiina Ringo. I'm looking forward to mienaihoshi's L'arc en Ciel, Luna Sea, Vocaloid and Nico Nico Douga ones. I'll dig up my old music cds once everything's been settled.

And lanoyee just recc'ed Laleh to me, and she sounds awesome ^^



Haven't been able to post anything on the book blog since I was down with fever for the past few days :/ I owe it my book wishlist and general reading plan for 2011 (which... well, no plans yet).

I'm also starting on re-reading all of the Harry Potter books before the final installment of the Deathly Hollows movie opens later this year. Well, re-read 1-4, since I wasn't able to read 5-7, aheh.

heterotopic, your answers are coming up!

still alive.

updates:

♦ I have a job. Yes, after two years of half-heartedly promising myself not to return to Makati's long and winding (or windy) streets, I'm back walking to and from buildings. I'll be working where sakura_ken works, on a different account though. Yes, it's a callcenter. And yes, I'll try my very damnedest to last for up to at least 6 months.

A little story: Met someone interesting in Makati yesterday. He was also applying in Sutherland. Nikolai Arcilla. A seaman by trade. Told me he was going by April, but just wanted to kill time by applying for call centers. Quite a number of call centers, by the way, most of them he skipped the training sessions XD. There I was still feeling nervous at the aspect of working again after 2 years of inactivity, and there he was, reminding me that it's goddamn okay to have fun with your job. Though I can sense that he isn't that serious in applying, I hope he gets accepted in Sutherland. I'd like someone like him as a friend.

♦ I have also returned to the gym. I still have to know my work schedule to know how I'm going to figure my gym hours are, but I promised my mom that I'd lose weight. Besides, I need to lose weight already. Previously non-existent aches and pains are surfacing.

♥ Shiina Ringo's new album Heisei Fuuzoku is extreme love! She's taken her old songs and remixed them with new arrangements and lush instrumentation. I love her completely, but somehow her stuff with Tokyo Jihen didn't grow that much on me. I love her solo, and she should release more stuff solo. I'm going to burn this album with Olivia's Cloudy Dreamer and other songs I like to keep me sane during commute to and from work (oh, for the love of an ipod or a proper mp3 player...).

♦ It's been so long since I've taken a picture. My digicam's still broken. Now, more than ever, I need to be distracted and amused and keep my roving eye busy. But of course, I have to be patient. Cameras cost money, and I barely have that. So be patient.

♦ A printer, a printer. I have a lot of things I want to print and stick everywhere but nothing to print them with.

♥ Jeremy Irons, Eva Green and Monica Bellucci are love.
