Rouse The House!

I can still remember the first music I have really listened and appreciated to. It was by Wannabe from the Spice Girls. It was full of beat, you can dance to it if you want to, and overall, the melody and lyrics are quite good.

Fast forward to a decade after and my taste of music had changed somehow. Well, of course I still listen to pop and RnB and alternative music, but there is just something about trance and house music that either makes you chill or makes you want to dance.

Here's a list of my most favorite house songs.

1. It's You, It's Me by Kaskade.
No, this is not that oldie group. This song is really good, like if you just want to relax. It's a little upbeat but not to the point of danceable, maybe a head bop or a foot tap motion.

2. Flying Away by Moony.
Moony is by far one of my most favorite artist in this genre: Dove, Acrobats, This Is Your Life, and I Don't Know Why. These are all the songs from her that I love to hear over and over again.

3. Love Generation by Bob Sinclair.
Yeah! This song is great! It's so funky and you can literally just dance or just bop your head to this one. The song is a little long but what the heck, a small price to pay to hear it, right?

4. Kingdom Of Pretty by Bonnie Bailey.
Not too much hype as Ever After but you know, it's an okay song. Something you could just chill out to.

5. Just Breathe by Telepopmusik.
Hands down, this song is one of the most highly-recommended songs I can recommend to anyone. The perfect timing of the lyrics couple that up with the instruments, Bam! It's the bomb!

Oh, and if you're wondering who else to download try Armin van Buuren, DJ Tiesto, David Guetta, and all Hed Kandi music you can.

They say music makes the world go round, I say not if you can't dance on them.

Race To The Top

I had always been the type of person who lives by the day.


Richness has never been my aim. Happiness, comfortability, peace of mind, these for me are what matters most.


"Looks like your older sister is earning more than you, she even bought a new motorcycle." My mom told me while I was taking off my shoes. I just came from a date that day.


She has a point. She does earn more. Heck, she buys what she wants almost weekly and I don't. That's how it is.


But that is perfectly fine with me. I have no qualms for now. I am happy where I am.


You see, for so long, I have looked for a job that I really like, aside from my volunteer work in the past, this would be my fifth work.


Yes, I was searching myself and my niche.


But I have found what I love doing and I am quite content. Compensation-wise, it could be a little higher but I am taking a little more time before I ask the boss for a raise. Patience has never been one of my strengths but if I want to make it work in this company, I have to suck it for now.


"That is okay mom, I am happy. And that is all that matters for me."


I told my mom as I went into the bathroom to take a bath.

Four years.

For four years I have been busting inside the gym and pumping my heart out and it seems like an eternity already.

So for a year more, I am giving myself time to achieve the body that I want to.

And then if still the goal cannot be achieved...

Steroids.

Yeah, I'm willing to try, after all life is all about risks.

Because honestly, it is very, very tiring.



P.S. I'm also going to have my left ear pierced by the end of this month. Changes, changes, what will we do without them?

Rabid

They say everyone loves a good gossip.

Well, not until they learn it was them.

Have you heard?

A blogger boy wants to stir controversy in this lil' ol' digital world of ours.

How quaint.

But I suggest you make me an exception, honey.

You don't know me well.

And I can be very, very dangerous.

So if I were you, I'd watch out. Front and back.

Of Silence

Nine months.

This is how it feels to be committed for that long.

Perhaps that is why I cannot tell my own stories. Perhaps.

Maybe that is the reason I can only tell of other people's lives. Maybe.

It is not that I have nothing to share but you see I have changed perspectives. It is not a bad thing at all but it is not of too much interest.

Ah, I can still remember. Those were the carefree days. My days with men.

I just giggled at the thoughts of the past.

Life has been quite monotonous. Not a bad thing at all.

But of course I still somehow miss those days.

Club boys will be club boys, as some say.

Why am I telling you this? This should be left in the mind, a personal issue left in the conscious part of thoughts.

Because I know I will look back on this post.

That somehow I told people other people's stories because I can't tell mine.

Perhaps the excitement dwindled?

Or perhaps maturity finally settled?

You suddenly realized that the world just got so much smaller when you see an ex walking in Malate together with a guy you used to flirt with in O Bar Ortigas.

Stitches

"So it has been eight years, huh?" Darwin asked while we were lying on his bed that night.

"Yes." I answered him while my arms were placed at the back of my head and staring at the ceiling.

Darwin was my first and last fubu. He was the first person to let me realize that sex does not equate love.

"A lot has changed from you." He told me.

"I know. I'm not the same chubby guy you used to know, well, not much though." I replied.

"No, no, that's not what I meant." He looked at me, into my eyes.

"I remember how you used to be a hopeless romantic."

"I was that type of guy."

"Yes you were, G."

"I'm not that type of person now." I looked at him and returned back at looking at the ceiling.

"I can still remember how you were the type of sweet guy, someone who would fall easily because of your sweetness. You used to be that guy who would say f*ck off! I'm committed!"

"Well Darwin, people change. I have changed since I met you, after I met guys, and slept with them." I made a deep sigh.

"I understand, G."

"But I just can't help to remember how you were that guy."


"Sometimes Darwin, I can't help but think who I was too. If I hadn't met you back then or if I didn't go out to the scene. I often wonder what I would be now." I shook my head.

"But we cannot go back now, may be people define us of who we were but people change, everyone knows that." I told him while slowly trying to sit on top of him.

He placed his arms at the back of his head and smiled at me. "But I think G, you were still that chubby boy I used to know, not completely changed in some but still different."

I pecked his cheek, thanked him, and told him I needed to go home
