I first heard this on Radio Disney when I was like… 8. I actually made some choreo for this song back then too! ahaha I listen to this song and it cheers me up :D
Didn’t make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what’s wrong with taking the back streets?
You’ll never know if you don’t go
You’ll never shine if you don’t glow

Tension | Our Story
An A Capella group did this song as a part of their piece at UCI’s first annual Night Market last Saturday. I haven’t heard this song in quite a while and decided to dig it up and have a listen. Hope you enjoy too.
P.S. It’s in Mandarin. (:
It’s very hard to forget our story
There are too many memories and hopes
It doesn’t matter how crazy it was
I’m willing to house it with a lifetime
Our story cannot be forgotten
There are too many actions waiting to develop
Don’t give up
Because there will be a day that we’ll be reunited
Let us finish the story

The Script | Talk You Down
Ohhh I would absolutely love to go to The Script concert! Their songs get to me. Both the music and the lyrics.
Just a cigarette gone
No, you couldn’t be that far
So I’m driving in my car to where I hope you are
Maybe I can talk you down
Maybe I can talk you down
We’re standing on a tiny ledge
Before this goes over the edge
Gonna use my heart and not my head

Nine Days | Absolutely (Story Of A Girl)
It’s one of those oldies-but-goodies! :D It’s really not even that old.. Definitely from my childhood. I remember hearing this off of Radio Disney back in the day! Just press play and reminisce :D
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles!

I like this; it’s quite calming.
You, by the light
is the greatest find
In a world full of wrong,
you’re the thing that’s right.

I fell asleep during class so I needed something to wake me up and Luke shared this with me. I was rather amused. Then I got a bit bored after I started owning the computer, ahha. But I see that you can play against another person! :DD Let the fun continue!

This was a free download off iTunes half a month ago. Pretty catchy, dontchathink?
It’s just the world is quiet
So hush we both can’t fight it
It’s us that made this mess
Why can’t you understand?
Woah, I won’t sleep tonight
I won’t sleep tonight.
Why Wash Rice Before Cooking It?
I was making dinner one night and my friend asked me what I was doing and I told him that I just put the rice in the rice cooker. His response? “Ewwww, you didn’t wash it?? You’re dirtyyyyy!” And I was in a defensive mode and tried to tell him that I did wash it. Then I became curious. Why do we wash our rice before cooking it??
So… being a natural nerd, I decided to do some research. At the time, which was a few months ago, I had a rather difficult time finding the answer. Now? It’s insanely accessible on Yahoo Answers! *sighh.
Anyway! Back in the day, we washed rice to get rid of twigs and dirt and such. This is still the case for some countries. In the United States, however, (now I feel like I’m writing a paper… I apologize!) washing rice takes away the vitamins and proteins.
After learning this, I still wash my rice. Washing rice actually makes it cook evenly and be less sticky in the end. So yay texture! :D

Snow Patrol | Crack The Shutters
I like the piano. I like how it’s something that I would wake up to. And how I can picture the sun breaking the darkness of night and welcoming the day. I love the lyrics.
Crack the shutters open wide,
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body
I could sit for hours,
Finding new ways to be awed each minute
Cuz’ the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you

This song has a beat that works well for tango, I believe. AND for hip-hop. But maybe that’s just tango? Popping ballroom dancing. I don’t know. I could be wrong but it doesn’t take away the beat.
Don’t believe the things you tell yourself late at night and
You are your own worst enemy
You’ll never win the fight
Just hold on to me
I’ll hold on to you
It’s you and me up against the world
It’s you and me…. (Love)
