Finally, Paramore released their new album, Brand New Eyes, following their top selling album, Riot. Paramore incorporated songs that differ from their usual genre. The songs “Misguided Ghosts” and “The Only Exception” showcased Hayley Williams’ soft and mellow voice rather than her usual powerhouse voice.
I noticed that the album seems to mellow down from their previous album, Riot, which distinguishes both albums apart. This strategy proves to work because it prevents fans from comparing the albums.
Overall, I give the cd a 4.5 out of 5 stars.
My prediction for the songs that will make it on the top charts are “Careful,” “Playing God,” “Brick by Boring Brick,”, “Looking Up,” and “All I Wanted.”
I decided to buy myself a model of the car that I would really want to have, and that’s the Ferrari F430. I enjoyed building the model so much that I can’t wait to get more of these toys and start on my model car collection.
Everyone seem to look forward to the day they can legally drink and call themselves real adults, but for me, I’ve been dreading the cursed day. It feels like it’s the pinnacle of your entire life, for once you’ve reached the zenith, everything around you seem to disperse in different directions. Maybe I’m just overreacting, but isn’t there a reason why people created the store “forever21,” that the phrase means more than it portrays. For once in my life, I realize that I am aging, that youth…vanishes overtime.
Everyone seems to have something to do this summer vacation…while I on the other hand, have nothing. So, I searched online for what I should do during summer and I found Bollywood. I started watching bollywood dances on youtube and it looked really cool to learn. Bollywood seems to be getting more popular, and it was even featured in So You Think You Can Dance. My mom already approved of this activity, so I will be enrolling myself in a bollywood dance class at Dance Theater International located at the Evergreen Village.
I can imagine myself now in a bollywood music video...lol
Here’s a example of a bollywood dance featured in So You Think You Dance performed by Katee Shean and Joshua Allen
I was all by myself today, enjoying the first day of vacation, when suddenly the door bell rang. Before opening the door, I had to check first who it was from my bedroom window. To my surprise, it was the UPS truck with a package delivery. I then opened my door and saw 2 packages for my mom. I was very curious what was inside the 2 boxes, and was very eager to open it. However, it wasn’t mine and it would be rude to open it without my mom’s permission. When my mom got home from work, I told her about the packages. She smiled and told me straight up that it was her surprise for me and my sister. I got very excited. She then told me and my sister to open the boxes. To my surprise, she got my sister a new digital camera, and I on the other hand got a new camcorder. For all I know, my mom is more of a techie than I am. She knows the best and affordable brands of technological gadgets.
She got my sister a Fujifilm FinePix S1500 10MP digital camera.
FujiFilm FinePix S1500
“Fujifilm FinePix S1500 10MP digital camera has 10 megapixel and a Fujinon 12x optical zoom. Fujifilm FinePix S1500 also included with 2.7-inch LCD screen with micro thumbnail view, 23MB built-in memory, face detection, continuous high-speed shooting mode.The Fujifilm S1500 also supports enhanced features like Panoramic mode, a Zoom Bracketing feature and full manual controls insuring the S1500 will keep up as your photographic skills develop.”
My mom got me a JVC Everio G Series HDD camcorder.
JVC Everio GZ-MG330 Series
“Everio has been redesigned to offer more satisfaction in a smaller, lighter body. It’s the world’s smallest* and lightest* hard disk camera, so you can shoot actively without fatigue, and travel with lots of space left over when you pack your bags.Elegant and slim HDD/micro SD Hybrid Camera with KONICA MINOLTA LENS, 35x optical zoom, easy to navigate Laser Touch Operation and 30GB HDD for up to 37.5 hours of recording.”
I felt excited, at the same time a bit guilty for receiving such an expensive gift. I told my mom she didn’t have to get it for us, and asked why she even bought us such extravagant gifts. My mom told us that the gifts are for our hard work in school. At the end of the day, I felt very happy, not because of the gift I got, but because of having such wonderful parents. I do hope that by late June when I receive my final grades, I’ll get all As to make my parents happy. The good grades will also serve as a an exchange gift for the gadgets they got for me and my sister, haha
After enduring the last day of finals, I completely took advantage of the free time I had and watched a marathon of t.v. shows from NBA basketball to the results of American Idol. While on my computer, I realized that the first episode of Glee was already uploaded. After watching the first episode, I absolutely fell in love with the show, especially the show’s rendition of the song “Don’t Stop Believin.” I immediately downloaded the full version of the song and constantly listened to it. As you can tell, a blog about this show proves how much of a fanatic I am already.
Here’s the show’s trailer, if you want to check it out:
If you’re really interested, the full episode can be viwed in Hulu:
It was so freakishly hot last Saturday, and I felt like a lazy ass as usual. However, I noticed my mom moving around, back and forth from downstairs to upstairs. I thought her actions were so peculiar, so I had to investigate what was going on. When I went upstairs, I found out my mom made me and my sister a scarf holder for our room. It’s so cool, since my sister and I have tons of scarves lying around our closet. My mom is awesome; she’s so creative.
Other than the scarf holder, she also made a curtain for our room,
a letter holder (where I put my prayer books in),
and Japanese kimono origami frames (because my sister and I absolutely love the Japanese culture).
After my AAS final, James and I decided to hang out together at my house to study for HS 15. We were both so tired and lazy that we skipped work and longboard instead. We went up the steep hill by Whitesand Drive and decided to longboard down. When we finally started longboarding down the hill, halfway, I got too scared and stopped. Unfortunately, I was going too fast that when I landed on the ground, there was too much force that I completely lost my balance. My body rolled about twice, but fortunately my face didn’t skid on the ground. However, my right side of the body landed first, so my right shoulder, elbow, knee, and hand were injured.
I can’t believe the fall tore my pants.
Despite all that blood and pain, I’m still fine and can’t wait to challenge that hill again.
