Butterflies and Polaroids

Hey guys..
So, End The Struggle had a show last night with The Summit Burns, Power Pirates, The Underway, Metrophish, and Tomorrow Starts Without Me... which went pretty well, except for the fact that there are assholes out there trying to ruin people's nights when we're all trying to have fun. Someone had the nerve to go through my girlfriend's bag and stole about $50 dollars and a pack of gum.

That's messed up. We're all trying to have fun and someone just had to do something stupid.
It could've been worse... luckily it wasn't the whole bag that went missing...

On a lighter note....
I finished a new song!
It's called, "Butterflies and Polaroids"

Here it is! =]



and you can download it here
Butterflies and Polaroids

and......

Time Machine

enjoy!

Numéro sept

I can't think of any more languages to use as my title, so I'm thinking about just settling with French. I just love how it sounds =P. Sooner or later, the numbers are going to fade away as I start titling each of my posts with relevance to... well... the post.

Anyway, I finished "Time Machine" and you can check out the new version on YouTube.
Or watch the old one on the bottom and there should be a link on the video to the new one.
A few hours after I finished it, I started writing a new song, which I actually like very much.
It's called, "Butterfly". Be on the look out for that one coming out soon.... or not... 'cause I'm kind of at a writer's block >=[

I should start making arrangements to prom soon. I haven't been to a single school dance.... AT ALL. I have to find a date now... Sarah can't come, and she insists that I don't go to my senior prom alone... she's actually forcing me to find another date o.O

This is where Northwest High School's prom is at. Bethesda Hyatt.

Nomor enam

HEY GUYS!
Guess what?!
I wrote a song!

It's called "Time Machine" and it's for my side project
A Paper Heart Plane
...check us out btw =]



Lyrics:

it still needs a bridge and one more verse
foreign figures in the sky
are distorted by my boggled mind
i can't define
what's true or fake

and it's not too late
to find away
to turn back into time
and make you change your mind about me

i wanna find a way
i need the parts to build the one thing that could
change everything that's in place

i've got the brains
but i need, i need the tools
to help me build my ship
to bring me back in time
back to you

every gesture every sigh
i recorded and crammed into my brain
i know it sounds so lame
but i can't resist

doing nothing
doesn't help myself at all
i'm hanging over
bouncing wall to wall

i wanna find a way
i need the parts to build the one thing that could
change everything that's in place

i've got the brains
but i need, i need the tools
to help me build my ship
to bring me back in time
back to you

LIVELAVALIVE
W A T C H I N H I G H Q U A L I T Y
-------------------------------------------------------
I just watched an old Indo movie.
"30 Hari Mencari Cinta"

In my opinion, the plot seemed sorta unoriginal, but it was still pretty good.
I tried my best to understand what they were saying. I'm actually quite limited to my Indonesian vocabulary. =\

[maybe it seemed unoriginal because of that? o.o]

Anyways, one of the girls starring in the movie was pretty cute

Dinna Olivia =P

GOING FORWARD......

I'm hoping you know by now that I am the drummer for End The Struggle.
I'm actually doing a side project called A Paper Heart Plane

I'm doing this with two of my fellow guitarists, Paundra and Hendri, along with Putri, who is the singer for A Paper Heart Plane. =] We're gonna be recording soon... sometime over spring break, so be on the look out for that.

whee that's us =]

Sooo yea... check us out... even though we don't have any songs up, but there is a cover of Franklin, by Paramore, which I'm sure you'd all enjoy. Also, bloopers of the cover are up on my YouTube, which you can check out on the right side of the page --->

I just may comeback to post up some more stuff if I suddenly have the urge to write some more... lol

Teh kotak

This isn't one of the normal posts you'll see here.
It's dedicated for one thing.
TEH KOTAK!

yayyy
i love it =D

Number three

Hey guys.
I've got some mixed emotions right now.
I feel bad, yet I also feel happy.

I found out I may not graduate, due to the lack of SSL (Student Service Learning) hours. I need 20 hours by the end of the school year.... which for me, is in two months.

I'm going to be tutoring second graders how to read now... and there's a mulch sale going on next month, which should help me get my hours. Also, AP exams along with final exams are just around the corner, and I still need to register for my college classes.

No, I'm not stressed out. I just need to get my priorities straight.
School's important.... and as for a job, I'm thinking about working at the ice rink... once I'm all settled down with college and moving into my "old-new" house.

Numéro deux

Hmm....

Maybe I'll post my second one tonight. I hope I don't become one of those über addicted bloggers, who compulsively write about every little detail of their lives. =P

No offense if you are one of those people. Hehe. It's quite late, some may say. Although, I wouldn't consider 11:00 PM to be late. Maybe 3 AM. My dad is nesting himself comfortably in my bed. He's never really in here, unless he's on my computer, but my room is the only warm one in the house.

...and here I go, rambling on about every detail of my life. Something I told myself not to do.
I should go.... but a blog isn't complete without a picture right?

enjoy =]

ghostly hmm? cute

Numero uno.

This is my first blog.

I'm not exactly sure what to post... so here's a picture I took on my phone at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC.

It was part of the ARABSQUE: Arts of the Arab World Exhibit. It was called the "Kaleidoscope" at least... I think so... if i can remember. o.o
