Why do we like listening to music?

-

Do we listen to music differently in different stages of our lives?  Do we find some songs more gratifying than others in different times in our lives? Why do some songs make us feel good inside and others are just... just alright. Is it the wave frequency or is it that we relate to the lyrics? I, personally, know that I am not drawn to the words, sure it's great when the songs connect to your feelings and thoughts, but that is not my top requirement when choosing which songs I like or I should say which songs pull me in. I don't feel I choose them. They automatically get replayed and eventually given the title (at least in my head if I don't share them with anyone) that this song is goood.  My taste of music is different than what most people around me like. It is a personal thing. Most of the time I listen to music either on my earphones or in my car, sometimes there are others around me where in that case I listen to different genres usually something more upbeat. Most d...

Happiness in an Item

So guess what... I'm getting an slr camera finally!! After much research and many sleepless nights lol I have decided to go with the Nikon D5100. It's funny how I'm a technology freak, where when I put my head to buying something, I get obsessed about it--that doesn't happen with me about clothing--and I consider that a good thing. Anyway, that being said, this means I can do several things that are on my mind. One being the cookbook and another being a photography portfolio and another another posting cool pics on this blog! But first I need to experiment and teach myself some lessons. So folks, I say ta ta for now but I do hope my posts get more interesting!! :D

Ads that make you think

-

Orange SMS: Text messaging while driving prevents you from seeing what really matters. I miss seeing ads that make you think--that make you stop and read and then think . Plainly said. I go through magazines and newspapers and it is always the same thing: "aah this ad is about this product...I got it, you want me to buy it...okay next." The reaction I want to be getting is (if you know me): 1- [a low laugh or giggle and then a weird look from someone around me] "no way! That is creative, I wonder how they did that"?! 2- "hmm I wonder what they mean" [look into the ad further for the details to find out the message] 3- "Ewwww" or "cuuute" and then stare at the ad for a bit to just look at something creatively pretty that our eye is not used to. I need to point something out though--thinking too much about an ad sometimes makes it stupid--meaning after you see the ad you get "OMG from this that got thaaaatt??!!!" (negative) r...

Wake me up

-

I'm back and I am ready to be woken up! Oftentimes when you are a working person, you get stuck to the same routine lifestyle. Currently, since I've been so busy lately, I have been neglecting my interests and my time to improve myself. Usually, when I am not busy, I come back home and get online to relax. I read blogs, articles or anything that interests me--its what I call my at home college. That being said, I need to go back to my "college". I'm going to start writing in this blog again and I'll start working on an online portfolio as well :) In terms of graphic design, I'm going to start creating fake projects so I can practice and add to my portfolio. As for website developing, I need to learn html (after asking around I heard that will be the easiest). Now for painting, I have so many that I have done in my past so I will take pictures of them and put them up and then begin working on more new ones. Then there is cooking, my last plan was to start d...
