FAVORITE ALBUMS OF MY 2009
2009 was a great journey of music for me. Expanded a lot into different genres and discovered why a lot of the big bands and albums get the respect they do.

50 THINGS THAT MATTER IN MY 2009
Here we go again. Time to reflect 2009. Not very eventful as 2008 but quality over quantity. This year, I have learned that my time is limited until I have to exit my stage of life of adolescence and have to appreciate everything I got. Cherishing good times with old friends and making great memories with new friends. 2009 was definitely not a disappointment as I predicted earlier on. Well,...

25!
jomamas: Write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you. 1. I don’t find awkward silences to be awkward. 2. I can’t stand forks scraping on a china plate. (Or whatever.) 3. I can’t hold eye contact very long....

MY WHATEVER AWARDS OF 2009
So I’m going to be the least biased at this, looking at the popular culture today, I hand my awards and recognition for the impact (or just tons of talk) they left in 2009. So here goes my awards: Song of the Year Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z (ft. Alicia Keys) “I don’t think any song released this year can rock enormous arenas (Maybe U2, but never checked them out yet)...

50 SONGS THAT MADE MY 2009
Music, when replayed, is like a flashback of that certain time or moment where you first heard it. It captures that time and remains captured as your personal time machine. That’s what songs are to me. Whether times are good or bad, it’s a tool of nostalgia. Here’s 50 that I have heard in 2009 that recollects laughs, cries, jokes of the weeks, days, weekends, hours, minutes and...

SOMETIMES
when I feel “homesick”, I don’t know if I actually am homesick or just miss being there. It’s been 10 years and I still don’t know if this is home.

BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER
Friends, As you call ‘em, they only call you when they need something. Trees for the blunt, G’s for the front. I found a way to get peace of mind for years and left the hell alone. Turn the deaf ear to the cellular phone. Send me a letter, or better, we could see each other in real life just so you can feel me like a steel knife. At least so you could see the white of their eyes,...

They can’t comprehend… They even came close to understanding him. I guess if I was boring, they would love me more… Guess if I was simple in the mind, everything would be fine. Maybe if I was a jerk to girls instead of being nice and speaking kind words, then maybe it would be OK to to say then; I wasn’t a good guy to begin with… But my mind is crazy… They...
