Panic! At The Disco: The Ballad Of Mona Lisa [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

I've liked Panic! At The Disco ever since I heard their song "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" where Brendon Urie (the singer) looked awesome along with the rest of the music video. The is a new song, the audio has been out for awhile now but this is the video. This has the same feel as the music video of the song I mentioned earlier, soooo.... I love it! :D

Lyrics:

She paints her fingers with a close precision
He starts to notice empty bottles of gin
And takes a moment to assess the sin she's paid for
A lonely speaker in a conversation
Her words are spinning through his ears again
There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you've paid for

Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe

Woah, Mona Lisa
You're guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa
I'd pay to see you frown

He senses something, call it desperation
Another dollar, another day
And if she had the proper words to say
She would tell him
But she'd have nothing left to sell him

Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe

Woah, Mona Lisa
You're guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa
I'd pay to see you frown

Mona Lisa...

Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe

Woah, Mona Lisa
You're guaranteed to run this town
Woah, Mona Lisa
I'd pay to see you frown

Say what you mean
Tell me I'm right
And let the sun rain down on me
Give me a sign
I want to believe

There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you've paid for

Castles In The Air







I am so stressed. It seems like there's always something to do, something to plan. In times like these I imagine a much simpler and whimsical way of living . I always talk about things I want to do whether it be now or in the future. I talk about it because I don't want to forget. So after weeks of not writing a decent Blog post I'm now presenting a list of what I want to do.

  1. Walking dogs. have you ever imagined yourself in a park? A park where there's no trash, no sweaty guys playing rough basketball shouting obscenities , no violent children shouting at each other, and no "Sunoys" acting cool when they're obviously not. There would be clean green grass and nice wood and iron benches on the sides, there would also be joggers and people playing tennis. I wouldn't want to do this on my own though, I'd want someone with me, but only one person because three would be a crowd.It is a very idealistic dream but I still want it. I also want a picture of myself walking these dogs because that would look so awesome.
  2. Being a passenger on a propeller plane. Do you remember those old planes back in the 1900s? The ones Amelia Earhart used? I want to be a passenger on that kind of plane. It's nice to imagine yourself high above the ground, the wind in your hair and the blue sky your backdrop. Those aerial exhibitions would be like roller coaster rides in the sky. To be honest, I actually have a little fear concerning heights but then again how can you be afraid of something you haven't tried yet? (I say passenger because I'd freak out if I was the pilot.)
  3. Inside a piano room. Not an enclosed piano room of course, but one with a large window overlooking the green yard and displaying a vast blue sky. Have I said that I love the Beatles? Well, I do, I think that their music is great. I'd have someone play the piano for me, that someone should sing too. But it's okay if only the stereo played, I'd have a play list including all the songs I want to listen to. There would be a comfy sofa where I'd lie reading a book. Never to be forgotten, I will have a library inside that piano room.( I will not have party music playing, that would give me headaches from bobbing my head.)

That is what I dream about when I'm either bored, wistful, irritated, frustrated, or a combination of the bunch.

-sigh- When will this ever happen?

I know when, soon. In about 10 to 20 years. I'm not sure about the plane part though, is there anybody in the Philippines who has that kind of plane?

Monsieur Caterpillar (cocoa tussock moth)






Last Sunday I went out of the house to clean the wine bottle J. had given me for our travelogue. There were some very strange looking forms inside and they wouldn't come out, even after I cleaned it with soap and hot water. I asked my Dad for some advice and he told me to put some sand inside and shake it. I got some sand and was about to do the job when I spotted something very colorful. It was a caterpillar, small and furry. I went into the house and came out with a camera. But not immediately of course, I had to get the caterpillar into a container. When I had it secured I got it out again where it expectedly tried to run away. I say tried because it wasn't a successful attempt. I followed it's route but stopped it in time to place it on a bonsai tree. I took pictures of it. These pictures are now proudly in display and can only be found here in Corr.

OneRepublic - Good Life

My favorite band is One Republic. This is one of their most recent music videos. This song entitled 'good life' will be the soundtrack to the road trip I will take across Europe. This trip will happen in 10 years or so when I have the budget :)

If I'm lucky maybe earlier than expected.

[Verse 1]

Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

[Chorus]

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

[Verse 2]

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about

[Bridge 1]

When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in

[Bridge 2]

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cuz hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about
