~album recommendations

10:31
spent days in listening new kind of music, and I actually found out the kind of music that I love.
and that would be instrumental, hip-hop, punk, ska, R&B, jazz, j-pop, and mixed rock, hahaha and to think that I'll just listening to any kind of music now, I have a preference! HA!!

Some music I'm listening right now:

175r -- Omae wa Sugee yo! (April 9, 2008)
Totally my favorite album
Utada Hikaru -- Ultra Blue (June 14, 2006)


Chemistry -- Regeneration (February 24, 2010)














~emotional, wait until it cools down

Another random post starts~~

My day started with a notice from Gmail~




I mean, what the??!! Is it some kind of error or what? The access type is Unknown and that's what made me curious. I decide to change my password right away, but I'll just ignore this issue for now.


Next, I read some interesting bits on internet-social norm and conduct. From the best practice on e-mail by Dave Johnson, these are a few that are really worth mentioning.
Neglecting the readers by forgetting common courtesies. Say thank you in public; give criticism in private.
I rarely do that. That's why many called me insensitive blob ~.~
Always using e-mail when other forms of communication might be better. You do still have a phone, right?
And to answer the question, it's a no from me, I guess. Another reminder on why many people neglects me. It's all because I much prefer email than the phone, it gives me space and privacy.

~keeping track, how much is too much?

I've decided not to post this manga recommendation of the week separately, although it contains a much more manga than the normal recs. Because I want to show my way of thinking on getting all these things in this post.
My mind just revolves around manga all day this week.

This week starts by reading Hayabusa and contemplating on searching and eventually buying all Aya Roppongi's mangas in the bookstore. This manga in particular is one out of five from the book-set called Romance Series III. It can be bought in the bookstore for roughly $3.00, cheap huh?




I got a new hang-out place, it's a site called OtakuWorks. The site provides Online Manga Reader and of course a very fun forum. It's quite small but very friendly and the people are nice too. And that's why I come to the now one of my treasures... Someone give a suggestion on making my own manga recs, but by doing that I'll have to mention the mangaka too. Because some of the books I read are by the same creator (I always believe the same brain would produce the same standard of creation), so there. I then try to find out the master behind those great pieces a.k.a my favorite stories. Here are some of them:

~browsing, knowing something is knowing nothing

I've been doing nothing but browse these days, I found out something and ends up more curious about another things. Randomness ensued. Check it out.


You learn something new every day!
  • Two days ago, I read something interesting it's about neurochemical. It is that chemical that gives you that kick in the beginning of the relationship. When we were in the early stages of courtship, we experienced the euphoria of infatuation because the brain was flooded with a powerful chemical cocktail or an overdose of neurochemical that let us feel boundless energy, optimistic, hyper-aroused, etc.
  • So there really is a reason the infatuation called chemistry. Because it does involve chemical.



There was this big fire near my workplace yesterday. Click here for detail. And because Senen is a bus terminal, this incident caused quite a stir. Traffic jam started early in the morning and coupled with heavy rains, the lines literally stuck. It was finally eased up at night after the terminal reopened in the afternoon. Because this unpredictable and unknown (this haven't made public in the morning news) occurrence there's quite many poor unsuspecting victims whose arrived late for work. Fortunately, I'm not one of them ^^.


If been thinking:
If I recalled from my childhood days, there's no memories when I actually feels really happy or content. Every piece of reminiscence has a dull undertone in it. I always try to recall other things in them to make it cheerier. And I can't seem to do that flawlessly. Is it because deep down I want my childhood looks poor to make myself feels better? That is somehow other faults that I turn to be this way? It is denial in the making and I'm confusing myself.

~fin
Yay, for another complete post. Total time consumption: approx. two and a half hours. I think I'll get used to this continual thing. As always, happy reading everybody...

~EMO, thinking and doing nothing and everything

Doing nothing and everything is my daily routine. I always set up my GTalk status as "Busy" and if someone actually have the time to ask me, I will always answer with "I'm busy doing nothing".

Yesterday, I saw the coolest Google Doodles ever!!
 
It's for the 332nd birthday of Antonio Vivaldi, the Italian composer. It's so very pretty, it makes me swoon ~.~


Next topic, today, I'm just sitting in front of the computer doing nothing (like it's actually new!) and everything (yeah, right!). I've been terrorizing my some-kind-of-a-new-forum, it's EMO, hehehe it's got a nice ring to it.
Doing nothing but commenting and really nothing! It's so liberating, I feel relax at the end of the journey.


Okay, the next topic is actually something that I think about two days ago. I wrote it in a note and though to post it, here it is:


~Someone says, "If you think of something hard enough, they eventually come true." but it is really true? I think it is so right and wrong at the same time. Just look at the denial thing, no matter how hard you deny something didn't exist or something didn't happen, it's already there and done, no way to undo it.
