Nobody Said It Was Easy... [The tale of how I fell in love with Coldplay]

"Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry.
You don't know how lovely you are..."

The lyrics wasn't the first thing I've recognized when I heard the song. It's the first piano part where I started vesting my interest in the song, I was like, "Hey, the piano sounds nice." As you know, during those time hearing songs with piano in its intro makes me, "Wow" everytime. I don't know, I guess because I used to hear a lot of acoustics [guitar-dependent sounds, in my opinion] or it is one of my frustrations to play the piano.

Later on, when I kinda grew a bit I started hearing the song again and yes, the very first time I heard of it I wasn't able to get the song's title. Internet during that time isn't as accessible as it is now so, it really took me like a lot of time to know what's the song is. Actually, a high school friend told me all about the band, I was uninterested with the band during those times [Yeah, I know I kinda suck on that part] because all I ever wanted to know is what the hell is the title of the song. Finally, after his too many introductions he said, "The song is, The Scientist."



My first reaction was, "Okay, The Scientist it is but why the hell does the song's title is like that?" and that's when I began hearing and analyzing what's the lyrics is all about. I figured that the song entails sad meaning because of how the melody flows to my ears. But without basically hearing what the lyrics are all I could do is to speculate. And so, I played the song on repeat to be able to grasp or somehow familiarize myself with the song's lyrics and that's when I realized that it is certainly is a sad, full of remorse kind of song. The way the composer express all of its regrets to every line you hear is heartbreaking and is very emotional. It kinda makes me think that, "Hey, this dude and his band is totally awesome!"

And that's when I literally began falling for them. With that having said, it became official that I make it a point to update myself with the songs they are producing/singing/writing. Theirs are not only song just for the sake of singing, they try to capture your feelings and your inner sentimentality [I just made up this term, pardon me.] and how you as a human would really feel in reality. I'm not saying that they are just the band that could make you nod your head and say, "Hey, they are feeling it too." It's basically not just about putting their names on billboards and making themselves in the mainstream music. They try, I guess, to show off what music they really want to play.

So, it is really annoying on my part, whenever I see and read somewhere online that, they've got a lot more haters than their well-deserved fans. Yes, I've got several artists or musicians whom I dislike but I don't actually express it publicly cause I think that's the most respectful way to show my disapproval to them. I don't know, I just think that there are some haters who have gone overboard to the extent that, they are even searching for the band's [any artists'] uploaded videos online just to make some nasty and unpleasant comments about how they should kill themselves because they don't have talent and they suck. I'm pertaining to any artist here who were victimized by these kind of overboard statements.

Besides, the rule is kinda simple. You don't want them? Then don't pay attention to them, don't listen, don't look, just don't let them get into your nerves. And upto this point, I kinda realized that I somewhat talked that much again. It supposedly about how good Coldplay's music are but then, I kinda blurted out my antagonism towards the unfair hate. 

Anyway, too much about hate fire. Lemme just talk about their music that became part of my system for these past few years now. I figured that it'll be better if you guys also hear out the my most favorited Coldplay songs as of the moment [Yeah, that means when they release a new album or songs, my list might change].

So here's my Top 5 songs:

5. Paradise




4. Viva La Vida




3. Yellow




2. The Scientist




1. Up In Flames



P.S. No hate fire on this please, respect the band. Just enjoy "THE" music.

Why Am I Reading? (An Excerpt From My Brain)

I'm in no position to claim that, I'm actually a bookworm or somekinda page-eater but I'll admit that I am so much in love with books and reading them [as long as it interests me I'll read it no matter what.] Moving on, I basically forgot when did I start reading books and how did I become so addicted to it and why did I enjoy doing it. I know that, I'm kinda becoming cheesy with my words on that part but seriously, I really love reading and books [again].

Why?

I know you'd ask that, well hmmm... Let me think about it. Well, maybe because you could explore and create your own adventures through the books you're reading. You will meet a lot of people and as you flip through to the pages of a book you'll realize that, just like that you've grown to love them and well, some will make you gonna hate them. Or wait, maybe because I didn't know that a single page or story or book can somehow make you see things differently and gives you a wider view of what's outside your comfort zone. You'll recognize things that you thought never ever existed but truth is, they are always there only, you failed to see them at the first glance. Yes, second chances is how we usually call it. It's not just a matter of a thing that pushes you off somewhere just to see everything around you, it follows a process of introduction, acquaintance and then to a comrade to build a better notion on what's around you. I blabber that much eh? I don't know, I feel as though reading projects a vital role in a person's imagination and/or understanding.



I don't basically, advising you guys to just read and voila! You'll develop a Princess Sara Crewe manners or a superb deduction abilities like Holmes just like that. It somehow pushes you to think about things around you and what better stuff can be done about them. A guiding light. Or perhaps a manual to things you've been longing to learn. Don't get me wrong, experiences are one of the best life teachers but just like doing researches, you also need to find other resources to be able to make the cut in living in this world. So I guess, that's how books work for me. It teaches us lessons, and creativity but at the same time, it keeps our mind well-trained and entertained.

But How?
I think it is not a question of how, but rather it's about a person's willingness to read. And yes, I'm willingly okay to read a bulk of them, as long as [again] it interests me. Reading is not about how many libraries you've gone through because you're already done reading all the books in it but, it's always a matter of how well did you understand and if you enjoyed reading it. Sooner or later, when you really love what you've read. The urge to see and find more good books will follow. It isn't hard to like or appreciate books, I think it's just about finding the right piece for your taste. I don't really believe that there are people who find books boring. In fact, I think reading is more like finding the right ingredients for the recipe you're cooking.

Bottomline?
There's really no bottomline here. My thoughts just kinda have this sudden outburst to write something and that something turned out to be my inclination about reading books. I'm no Einstein or Hawking but I think, I'm kinda in the position to tell you that reading is one hell of a experience, in which, you could learn and gain a lot of things. In short, you'll get more cause you'll never lose anything. Also, at every end of the page your realization will pop into your head that, "Oh boy, its been one hell of story!" with a smile on your lips.

I've got another (V)logggg!!!

Heya!!

I've decided to finally put up another blog account in wordpress.

I don't know, I'm just kinda intrigued by this blogging site.

But, but, but,

this does not mean that i'll totally abandon my blogger acct...

I just want to create something new and try it out myself...
Besides, I believe that managing two blogs at a time will pretty much give me the pressure of posting more often to my (V)loggggs.

Anyway, hope I could also see you there!!!

And happy reading pals, please feel free to leave comments, and etc so I, myself would know about how are you feeling about it...

Thanks and thank you. hahahahahah

Yeah, yeah, I'll admit that.. I've been so out of place for these past few days, weeks and months, well, eversince the last time I blogged.

But then again, the good thing is at least I did come back after all.

And now, with a deadly hell promise that I'll definitely post more often than before at least you will never miss me.

I was kinda in the contemplation and thinking mode during those time. Hope you guys understand that.

Honestly, a lot of things happened, some bad and good stuff actually.
