#one of those "quiz" thing from the internet (Do it)

  It's currently a Tuesday afternoon and instead of getting work done, I browse mindlessly on the internet instead. I can across this "challenge" (is it consider a challenge?) thing floating around the internet. So this requires you to put your music on shuffle and the first 10 songs that come one, each one represent something in your life. Its kinda ridiculous, like this random selection reflects your life so perfectly. But its a silly game from the internet, who cares!

Title of your first song you land on describes how you die:
Arctic Monkeys- Old Yellow Bricks   
..I don't know. I don't see my "death" in this song. You're off to a bad start quiz


Second song will describe your love life:
Franz Ferdinand- Right Action
*smirks* So as long as I have "right thoughts, right words, right action" my love life will be OK *nervous laughter*


Third song will be playing at your wedding;
Franz Ferdinand- Fade Together
Seems like my life is made up of Franz Ferdinand songs. I like this song tho, its sweet and I can see it playing at a wedding.


Add "in my pants" to the fourth song you land on;
The Strokes-Call It Faith, Call It Karma "in my pants"
 IT WORKS SO WELL
 

Fifth song will be playing at your funeral:
Half A Person- The Smiths
Ok, quiz I can see this playing at my funeral. "That's a story of my life"...Its weird to think about what music is going to be played at my funeral. I would play this and Alseep by The Smiths. That song really hits you like a sac of bricks slapping you across the face. (like my awkward simile?)

Sixth song is your theme song:
Franz Ferdinand-Live Alone
I knew we would have more songs from Franz Ferdinand! I can see this is my theme song, at least at this point of my life. Basically this song is about how love is ruin by argument so maybe if you live alone you could be much happier. But you're always thinking about that one person. 


Seventh song will play when you think about someone you love:
Arctic Monkeys- Despair in the Department Lounge
But this song is a sad love song, its about wanting your love back and you can't stop thinking about them...


Add "with a shovel and a screwdriver" to the title of the eight song:
Jack Johnson- Pictures Of People Taking Pictures "with a shovel and a screwdriver"
WHY DOES IT FIT SO WELL?!


Ninth song will describe your week:
The 1975- Is There Somebody Who Can Watch You
ohhhhhh deep.


Tenth song will play when you miss somebody:
Franz Ferdinand- Katherine Kiss Me
Of course we have to end it on Franz Ferdinand. 7 and 10 should of switch spots. 


Thats the end. Wow Franz Ferdinand dominated. I mean I like them but not that much, i guess my playlist really likes them. This little test turned out alright. I like how 4 and 8 (where you have to add on to the name) fit so perfectly. I dare you to try this...triple dog dare you.

Music Exploration: Jazz -(ˆ▿ˆ)/ \(ˆ▿ˆ)-

      It's nice to venture out of your comfort zone. Especially when you explore different genres of music. I'm not the type of person to do this. I usually just listen to the same bands on constant repeat through out the day. My brother is like this, so...I guess we kinda get this from each other. I listen to bands people recommends, but noting I can really get into to. Kinda been in a rump for the past 3 weeks, so I was finally looking for something new. Then I rediscovered a fantastic form of music. Jazz.

      1 AM on a Tuesday. Insomnia hits me again. I flipped through Spotify aimlessly. Then I came across a soft jazz playlist. Why not give it a try? Instantly was moved by the beauty. How each instrument complemented and play off each other. Every song's rhythm was unique to one another. Slowly this genre consumed me. I liked how you don't need any words with jazz, you can just sing through your instruments. I was enchanted by the magic this music had. I started looking up every piece of music I could. I took music classes as a child, but they always gave us simply classical music. Noting as moving as Jazz. Amazing complicated is what how I like to explain it. Kinda wished I took saxophone or the piano instead of the flute, but I attempted to play the soulful music of Jazz. Loved it. I could never be great at it, but doesn't hurt to try.

     Overall I guess I'm trying to say is, if you haven't explore music in a while, you should. You may find your new obsession. (: Bye for now...

#Daiso (small haul)

   Slowly, I been seeing Dasio stores magically pop up around my area. For months I would drive by it and wonder what they sell. I knew it was Japanese but there products and prices was a mystery to me...until now.  My friend informed me its a Japanese dollar store (well 1.50). WHAT? All this time I been clueless of all the savings I could have?! True I could of just looked it up online...but now I finally know. I then made it a mission to go and explore this new found place. 

    Thoughts: very nice. The Dasio I went to greets you with a bunch of windows. A nice size Dasio (not the biggest one I seen) with a area dedicated to kitchenware. I had a mini heart attack as I saw all these bowls and cups knowing that most of these are at the adorable price of 1.50! They also have great little things for gifts and offer really pretty gift bags/wrapping paper. Overall I thought these products and prices was reasonable. Yeah $1.50 is a great price you just got to make sure you don't go overboard. I couldn't come out of that store with noting. So here are the things I got and my thoughts on it!

*I FOUND SOME CUTE GIVEAWAYS...So if you want that so to the end* updated 4/1      



**********


These crystal push pins are perfect to give a cork board a little more shine. Its cute, its cheap, and its work nicely. Plus its big and sturdy enough so you could hang jewelry on it.


For those who likes crafting, Dasio is the perfect place to find items. I fell in love on how adorable these masking tape were. One is with a mixture of birds and flowers with the saying "have a good time!" displayed across it. As for the apple one, it offers the sweet words of "Thank you very much!". Now these tapes are somewhat transparent so I recommend to put it across a light cover surface so you can see the tape better. But for $1.50, I thought this was a steal. 


Pocky. It's simply the best. For those of you who don't know what pocky is, it's little biscuit sticks dipped in delicious favor creams. I never tried the green tea one before...and it was amazing.



Hand Sanitizer is always good to have on hand. My mom recently been raving about this hand sanitizer spray she got at for $3, so when I saw this for a dollar I decided to get it. I mean its noting special but I like it. The good thing is tho, this offers vitamin E and kills 99.9% of germs. Not bad for a dollar.


    This letter set is adorable. Comes with 12 letter papers which displays a cute little elephant. 6 envelopes and 1 set of 6 stickers...all equally kawaii. They had a lot more letter sets that displays more colors, themes, etc...but I went for the simple but cute one. I have a pen pal and thought this would be a nice thing to send her. I absolute love it and the price was amazing! Letter sets for 1.50 are hard to come by.

******    ******



Its not a lot, but I'm sure the next time I go there I may go a little more insane. I like Dasio and find it a perfect place to get supplies for crafts. They of course have a lot more things at their store, and I can see myself going there a lot more often. Without the pocky, my total was $6.00. Not bad, As I was walking out I saw the green tea pocky and knew I had to get to. So if I tally everything, it comes out to $8.00. That's reasonable I think for the items I got. Overall, I like this cute $1.50 store and looking forward to spending my extra cash there on random goodies. ᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ

So I went on the internet and found some giveaways you can enter (In honor how cute Daiso is)

#x factor new zealand thoughts

    *I get somewhat really passionate on this topic so get ready*


      I just came across this story and thought "Is this real life right now?" OH MY. Allow me to tell you about this outrageous story..

      We all know what X factor is right? A somewhat reality based music show where they give people the chance to make it big with there musical talent. Well X factor New Zealand took a awkward turn on Saturday (Mar 14) when ex-judges Natalia Kills and Willy Moon (who are married) started harshly "judging" Joe Irvine's appearance. They were basically spewing a endless supply of nonsense at him. Irvine gave a performance of Justin Timberlake's famous song "Cry Me a River" while wearing a classy suit and tie and had his hair slicked back. Noting wrong with that right? Apparently for the married judges this made all the difference. Natalia Kills stated "Ladies and gentleman, i'm going to state the obvious. We have a Doppelganger in our midst. As a artist who respects creative intercity and intellectual property. I am disgusted by how much you had copied my husband. Do you have any value or respect for originality?" She then goes on with "You're a laughingstock. It's cheesy. It's disgusting. I personally found it absolutely artistically atrocious. I am embarrassed to be sitting here in your presence having to even dignify you with an answer of her opinion."  Then there's her husband who said "To me, it just feels a little cheap and absurd. It's like Norman Bates dressing up in his mother's clothing. It's just a little bit creepy and I feel like you're going to stitch someone's skin to your face and then kill everybody in the audience."

<-Me when I read the quotes

   
     I wish those quote weren't real, but they are. I don't even know where to freaking start. When we look at Irvine we just saw him a man with a nice suit and haircut. For Kills, she saw a man who was just out there to steal her husbands "style". What the actual f@#k. Her calling out Irvine on being unoriginal and stealing is just so...stupid. I wonder how she acts at dinner parties where all the men are dress in suits. Does she goes to each and every one of them and call them unoriginal and accuse them for stealing styles? Oh so apparently wearing a suit and having your hair slicked back is Willy Moon style. She keeps wailing on Irvine on being unoriginal. X Factor is a show singing other peoples songs. How in any way is he being unoriginal? Let the man wear what ever he wants Natalia Kills!           What Willy Moon said to Irvine was even more outrageous. "I feel like you're going to stitch someone's skin to your face..." You don't flat out tell a guy he looks like hes a serial killer, especially when he did noting wrong. He even called Irvine Norman Bates which got me thinking. Kills stated that Irvine is copying her husband's style. Moon said that Irvine reminds him of Norman Bates. So....Is Moon basically calling himself the psycho Norman Bates? I don't even know anymore. As I reread his quote, he makes no sense. What is he trying to say.. i don't even know all I got was him calling Irvine a psychopath. So yeah they may of done this to get notice in the public eye, but to do it this way...Why are they so worked up on Irvine's appearance anyway? This show should be about the musical talents. That's it. 

This is why I love the internet, for these moments. Everyone banded together to call out these two judges for there bullying and demanded for them to be taken off the show...and it worked. I applaud Joe Irvine for keeping his cool on stage. Bullying is not fun and some people can't handle it.

#my dogs

   I'll admit it. I'm somewhat of a crazy dog lady. Not in the sense where I dress them up all the time and carry them in purses where ever I go. But, i just prefer to hang out with them...and take a lot of pictures of them. So here is a post talking about my 2 dogs so if your not a dog lover...sorry...wait no i'm not.

*(JUST WANT TO SEE CUTE PICTURES?? GO ALL THE WAY DOWN)*

    My first dog is a silky Yorkie terrier by the name of Mojo. He is the best dog ever. period. Many years ago I wanted to get a dog. So, I wrote out a whole list of places they have dogs for sale. The first house was in LA and this lady comes out with the cutest yorkie ever. In that moment I fell in love and took him home. That mojo's story. I can do anything to him and he doesn't care. He loves food more than anything, so he is a little over weight. But that's OK, he can pull off the fat belly. He is very lazy and prefers to sleep than play with you. He was hyper until I got my other dog, maybe he got depressed or something. He even became more chilled when I neutered him. He doesn't bark but when he does, he sounds like a chicken. No joke. My other dog took his caged and I didn't want to spend money on another so I just let him sleep with me. Always sleeping between my legs, he snores all night long and is the deepest sleeper I have ever saw. I can pick him up, shake him, put him down and he'll still be asleep. You can tell he's getting older because every once in a while he'll bark at you for no reason. Yet, he's still as cute as ever. Wow...I am a really crazy dog lady.

     The second one goes by the name Cotton who is a maltipoo (half maltese/half poodle). I wasn't looking to get a 2nd dog, it just happened. My aunt's dog had 3 puppies. Two of them were normal sized caramel brown puppies. The 3rd one was smaller than the others and was as white as fresh snow. Sadly, the little white one was rejected by her mother so she wasn't getting as much milk as she needed. My aunt didn't want to care for that puppy and asked me to take her. At first I was hesitant to take her as I already had a dog and two dogs would be a lot of work, but I caved in to her cuteness. I basically knew her all her life and took her home when she was only a week and a half old. It was insane. I had to make those instant milk for puppies and put in in this tiny bottle and make her eat it. She hated that bottle so I would struggle for hours to make her drink the milk. She was a adorable fluff ball who like to take her naps on my chest and listen to my heart beat. Mojo didn't exactly hate her, just didn't know what to do with her. She would bite his ears and he would freak out and run away. I think he just got somewhat depressed that I had to spend a lot of time with her making sure she was alright. She eventually grew up into this hyper dog who thinks she is the alpha. She for sure bosses Mojo around and good old Mojo just takes it. She loves attention, its either her or nobody. But, she is smart and listens to me as for Mojo just doesn't care what you say. My dogs personality to one another are polar oppisites but they still love each other. One time, my brother wanted to take Mojo to his house for the whole day so I let him. The either time, cotton was searching all around for Mojo. When he brought him back the next day, cotton would not leave his side. Literary, she would walk with her side next to his side.

    It's hard work to have two dogs especially with each dog having a different personality. In time, they eventually chill out and fit into a routine you can manage. I would say the first two months of getting a new puppy is the hardest. As long as you train and teach them, you would enjoy having them around. I'm glad I have two, they make my life even more enjoyable. They are basically my...very furry children. I have so many pictures of them it ridiculous.














I'm really a crazy dog lady.

#Small reads

Here are some random pieces I wrote. Hope you enjoy!



Warmness

You came to me in the spring,

warm and light you were meant to be,

everyone loved you,

with your dances across the hills,

but you told us you must say your adieus,

and you promised to visit someday,

then you left without a trace,

cold darkness slowly consume this place,

but no matter because i knew,

the sunshine will return very soon.


One

We were one,

then we broke,

you then left me,

with all the pieces.


The little cup

The little cup wanted to explore,

even from all the warning from the other dishes,

the little cup wanted to see the other side of the counter,

so off the little cup went,

a little to far i'm afraid,

he went flying off to the floor,

and shattered into pieces forevermore,

but do not worry for the little cup found what he was searching for,

adventure, yes that's all he wanted.



Lunch Table

I love you,

is what I wanted to say,

at the lunch table today,

but my awkwardness was to strong,

So for now i'll just wait behind this line,

the line i will one day cross,

to be more than a friend.
