that can’t match up to the real thing
I confess, Parachute is my new favorite band. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. Now that I've listened to their songs over and over again, I have come to a conclusion. They are of their own genre! They're not a version of Maroon 5 or anything. They've got a really indescribable style. It's not exactly pop, not exactly alternative, not exactly pop-rock but a mesh of good stuff.
And their originality is refreshing. I can also relate to their songs because they stick to real stuff, not nonsensical stuff about being rich and spending money in clubs and things like that. I especially love that some of their songs tell a story. Forever and Always is one of my favorite tracks off their newest album The Way It Was (released 17th May 2011). Okay, who am I kidding? I love all the songs on the new album. But I do favor Philadelphia slightly more...
I had no idea they were the band that sang She Is Love. In the beginning, I wasn't quite into that song but now I admit, I love it. Also, I've watched almost ALL their videos on Youtube. HAH, watching band videos for hours is my sign of love for them. I don't know how anyone can dislike their music!!
And it would be so unlike me to NOT talk about the band members in my giddy lovesick band post. Will is cute! LOL. At first I thought he looked like Jesse McCartney. He doesn't. Will is... cuter, definitely. I can't decide which member I like best but I've got this crush on Kit French. Who can deny the attraction of a tall blond saxophone player who reminds me of Jesse Spencer (yes, I do mean Dr. Chase on House)? All of them are hilarious. Alex looks like he's a serious guy but you should watch their videos. He's funny. 
Nate as the Table Scrappa (I made C watch it and now we're commonly referring to various people as Table Scrappas) was adorable, especially when he was wearing those nerdy glasses and plaid shirt. Johnny is cute and totally funny! And he's supposedly the ladies' man. 
So that was half the point I wanted to make in this post: Parachute = amazing band with cute members.
The other half is... (I feel that this is an appropriate moment for a drumroll. Move over, royal family!) ... Parachute has inspired me to want to learn the guitar again. How freaking awesome is that?!! I blame it on the sweet guitar parts in their songs. After 2 years, I'm inspired again. The first band that inspired me to learn how to play the guitar was Simple Plan. Since then, my inspiration has spiraled downwards to nothing and I haven't touched the guitar in two years.
Maybe I'm not musically talented but I've always had this love for learning an instrument. Our guitar lessons were a struggle because the teacher was bad and we tried to learn it ourselves but somehow failed. And school and other things were always something that came between our practicing time. After we began to lack inspiration, we made excuses not to touch the guitar.
Now I'm inspired again. I'm ecstatic but I'm not sure if we'll be successful in learning it again. Wait for more tales of the guitar.

Hold my gun and watch the door
Pick the lock and cut the phone
Keep your head up, love,
Nobody here can stop us
Grab the bags when sirens call
We're out the window, through the yard
Keep it locked up tight
Nobody here can stop us
Baby, I've had this same dream
Where I wake up wondering
What it really means
If the world came running down
If it was you and me against the world
Baby, they've got us under but
We'll take whatever we want.
If it was you and me against the world,
You get the car, I'll get the cash,
We'll take the money and run.
They'll come running through the door
Shattered glass across the floor
Oh, they think they know but
We both know they don't.
Oh, we did our crime and got away,
We stole the gold and made the day
And we both smile knowing that they saying
Nobody here can stop us
Baby, I've had this same dream
Where I wake up wondering
What it really means
If the world came running down
If it was you and me against the world
Baby, they've got us under but
We'll take whatever we want.
If it was you and me against the world,
You get the car, I'll get the cash,
We'll take the money and run.
Oh, I keep waking up
In an empty bed
And I'm wondering why you're
All the things I should have said
And, oh, we could have had
If it was you and me against the world,
Baby, they've got us under but
We'll take whatever we want.
If it was you and me against the world,
You get the car, I'll get the cash,
We'll take the money and run.
If it was you and me against the world,
Baby, they've got our number but
We'll take whatever we want.
If it was you and me against the world,
You get the car, I'll get the cash,
We'll take the money and run.
You get the car, I'll get the cash,
We'll take the money and run.
It's you and me against the world.
and when the sky is falling
I'm really bad at picture posts but I'm gonna do it anyway.

Did I mention I hate the remake of We Are The World?
Totally unoriginal because of the unknown new singers. What's up with the synthesized voices too? Hey, no Stevie Wonder or Michael Jackson, no good, okay?

What do you call a person obsessed with long sleeves?
The obsession starts only if you look good in them.

I'm so bored, I might even try playing Assassin's Creed.
Not to mention, I have nothing to write about and I don't want to insert pictures into my top ten because I'm running out of pictures. Maybe when my collection restocks. I'm sorry. I'm not doing the top ten for the sake of it. I actually listen to these songs. But I just don't have any entertaining things to say or any interesting pictures to put.

You hate that you love him so.
when everything’s about to change
Like or not.
1. Low Shoulder - Through The Trees
I'm still here breathing now

Go quiet through the trees
2. Taylor Swift - The Other Side Of The Door
And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess?
After everything and that little black dress
After everything I must confess, I need you
3. Adam Lambert - If I Had You
Yeah if I had you, then money, fame and fortune never could compete
4. One Republic - Secrets
This time, don’t need another perfect line
Don’t care if critics never jump in line

5. All-American Rejects - Sierra's Song
Sealed with love, open the door and I'll walk right beside you
My Sierra, I'll give you more than a shoulder to cry

I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
7. Little Boots - Remedy
Move while you’re watching me dance with the enemy
I've got a remedy oh uh oh uh oh
8. Jesse McCartney - Come To Me
You can just be yourself,
'Cause I don't want nobody else.
All of your secrets are safe with me.
For the kind of love you can trust,
For more than just a crush,
Baby, why don't you just come to me?
9. Boys Like Girls - Someone Like You
So, sing me a song,
I know all the words to,

Could you be my savior?

And now I'm shattered,
(From the chip in my heart, kept taking it till it broke)

What comes after their self-titled album? Simple Plan and their new album! I can't wait for the album because from what Chuck and Pierre keep Tweeting now and then, it sounds pretty interesting. Also because we've been waiting for, what, two years already.
Then, there's AAR. They said they're gonna try to write an album together. You know, after their fight, they might have a little difficulties. I don't know but I'm hoping it'll be a really good one. Hopefully, they'll release it by the end of this year.
And Linkin Park? Definitely. More songs like New Divide and Leave Out All The Rest. I don't like the noisy screaming and rap-like songs. Hey, but they're not as bad as everyone thinks. I bet they'll have a song on Transformers 3.
Miss - oops, I mean, soon-to-be Mrs - Katy Perry is working with Ryan Tedder on her next album. Awesome pair! Ryan is good with anyone and all the songs he writes is just simple but amazing. Better vocal performance, maybe, Katy? And more lovable songs like I Kissed A Girl, please. Don't keep us waiting.
Maroon 5, please don't break up. Please, please, please. I'm willing to wait for album if you're not breaking up. They're all such great people. Their album should be ready by early 2010, says Wikipedia. I can't wait. I'm not expecting anything less from their new album.
What name comes before Departure? Jesse McCartney. Duh. What were you thinking? It seems like he's done with a few songs. He says it's like a continuation for Departure. Bleh. He should definitely sing more songs like Right Where You Want Me. Okay, whatever. I can't wait.
Oh, guess who else? Yes, Taylor Swift. Everyone is wild for her and everyone expects the best from her. Breakup, makeup, heartbreaks, unnoticed love songs.
This is for T, since I don't listen to Lifehouse. Lifehouse FTW for her! A new album this year, I think.
I don't know why, but I think I'll wait for Hard Fi's and Matchbox 20's new album this year. Hard Fi isn't that bad but hopefully there are some songs I can actually listen to. Go, Rob Thomas, for Matchbox 20! Their songs are so cute and nice. So, yeah.
x
BTW, Happy Birthday, Justin Timberlake!
You rock since N'sync. Keep donating to charity because it's a really, really good deed. Keep rocking and dancing!

Snoopy is such an adorable beagle.
you took my heart away
Ooooh, baaaa! Said the little green men in Toy Story.
I kind of hate cupcakes but I like looking at them. Purple cupcakes are idealistic.
Okay, to cut to the chase, we haven't been blogging much because we've been busy, busy, busy! Really busy, I feel like flying off to another planet to take a breather. *exhales!
Sunday, I have never liked you much.
I left my heart homework on the dancefloor (so that people will step all over it and eventually it'll shred to pieces). HAHA. I'm a genius!

I'm having a karaoke session at home now. Saturday night, y'all.
She's gorgeous.
Guess whose? You got that right. Mine.
He is not frigging JUS*** BIE***.
I want and need a purse, preferably a Marc Jacobs one. (:
Basically, all my thoughts since I stopped blogging. Sufficient enough to keep you satiated for another week, I hope.
XOXO.
i apologize for acting tough
Now you can officially say that I like Adam Brody somewhat.
Watched Jennifer's Body and found it enjoyable if not somewhat laughable. It wasn't as bad as everyone described it and Megan Fox didn't deserve the Worst Actress of 2009. Kristen Stewart did. At least Megan Fox can manage to look pretty without even trying. Kristen, on the other hand, has no talent and no, um, uh, can we even call it attractiveness?
Nice smile... NOT.
She beats you any day, Kristen. At least some people didn't get voted as Sexiest Woman Alive or Top 100 Most Beautiful People just because they acted in a stupid teenage vampire movie.
Anywaaaays, back to Adam Brody. He's the supposed lead singer of the band Low Shoulder in the movie and dang, I have a thing for guys with eyeliner. Okay, some guys... LOL! I love the song they play repeatedly throughout the entire movie. It's called Through The Trees and I listen to it whenever I feel crappy... which is like almost every day.

C asked me to post this for her so here it is. In the flesh. I mean, on the screen.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH !

Did I promise top five music videos? Wait... Nah, I didn't.
Maybe later on this (or next?) week if I can find some me time. It's hard to find some nowadays. Since stupid activities are occupying everything and I feel so bad for leaving my dog to be lonely.
I will write a book review for Reflex (Jumper 2) and a game review for Batman : Arkham Asylum soon. When I'm free, of course.
Currently reading : Terminator Salvation.
Currently listening to : N'sync - I Want You Back.
By the way, Ronan Keating's Stay is a pretty good song. You should really go listen to it.
BTW (again), have you listened Tonight Is Your Night by Jesse McCartney? Someone leaked the song on the internet. Oh, he swears in the song. That's so cool. o_O

I'm sorry I didn't include anything entertaining like pictures for my top ten because I'm feeling so depressed about tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the starting of boredom and lifeless lives. We're probably gonna be busy until we figure out what's gonna happen for the next few weeks. Not such a good way to start 2010's first weekday, huh? But you could always read our older posts.
Screw education, dang it. Here's what I will be at the end of the week - depressed, sad, emotional, tired, busy, stressed, sleepy, deprived. I'll probably smash a pillow over my head and sleep. Maybe I'll even start hating exams and stop studying. Everyone should go on an exam strike - ignore exam papers and refuse to answer. I've been watching too much Dr. Dolittle..
I lost my MP3 too. How sad is that? How am I gonna survive the Sundays I hate?
Send my love to the dancefloor, I'll see you in hell.
- Cobra Starship.
the rest of the summer was the best we ever had
What I did these two days.
Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes.
Jude Law as Dr. John Watson.
(BTW, it's his birthday today. So happy birthday, Jude Law. 
)
Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler.
Very smart movie. And very worth watching.
Eddie Murphy as Dr. Dolittle.
Do you believe in talking to animals? (:
Alvin and the Chipmunks : The Squeakquel. Not as bad as I thought.
The Chipettes - Jeanette (Anna Faris), Brittany (Christina Applegate), Eleanor (Amy Poehler).
Alvin, the witty chipmunk, voiced by Justin Long.
Simon, the brainy chipmunk, voiced by Matthew Gray Gubler.
Theodore, the chubby chipmunk, voiced by Jesse McCartney.
Step Up 2 : The Streets.
Starring Briana Evigan and Robert Hoffman.
I am a movie maniac after all. Unexpectedly good movies, I gotta say.
Less music, more movies, please.

Craving for :
Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2.
Why did the freaking* thing crash? No one is willing to reinstall it. First, I'm so happy I get to do something that actually kills time. Then, the freaking* thing has to black out and crash. And then, no one cares. Story of my life.

How do you, how do you.. listen to music?
