Friday, May 24, 2002

Its been a long time since i've posted musik on.....~~~ We are all made of Stars - Moby ~~~....seriously like this one....its not because i'm 19 now or nething =)

Still not in the mood to blog about stuff yet. But heres a damn accurate baby name site (haha...so girly).....i copy and pasted my names....they're f*ckin tru....f*ckin true....http://www.kabalarians.com/


Erik
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The name of Erik creates an overly-sensitive nature which causes you to sense and feel far more than you can understand or put into words. You have a deep, artistic, and creative side which shows through a love for music and literature. Writing is a more natural mode of expression for your deeper thoughts and feelings than the spoken word. You have an ability to concentrate and work intently on anything which holds your interest. However, you prefer to avoid routine, monotony, and mental tasks. You enjoy the out-of-doors and find your greatest peace and relaxation from the beauty and harmony of nature. You prefer to limit your friendships and associations to those who share your interests and appreciate your quiet, refined ways. Others often find it difficult to understand you. Your feelings tend to build up within you and, if you cannot release them through a creative, constructive channel, you could suffer with frustration, moods, and much inner turmoil. This name causes tension in the region of the solar plexus, as well as the heart and lungs. Health problems would centre in those areas of the body.

Airik
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Airik as a first name gives you a very independent nature, yet you are friendly, approachable, and generous. You can be a spontaneous, expressive, and talkative person. Generally you are good-natured, though at times you can be rather blunt and sarcastic. This name incorporates creative, artistic, and musical abilities, and there would be an element of originality in all that you do. You like to do things on the spur of the moment without planning or prior arrangements. Your spirits are buoyed up greatly by encouragement and appreciation. There is a tendency to be scattering in your efforts and you prefer to avoid menial jobs of a routine and repetitive nature. You are inclined to pursue good times and emotional indulgences to excess. Weaknesses in health due to the influence of this name centre in the head. You could experience headaches, or difficulties with your teeth, ears, eyes, or sinuses. Disorders related to the liver, which would be aggravated by rich foods, could also arise.


And also, my song, i've kinda got the tune worked out....will post tabs when done.
Out.

Just came upto post ma lyrics =)
So much happenned in the past week...but not bothered to blog now....for now, everybody chek da lyrics out and let me know what you think.


Your Room - Airik

Every scent goes a long way
I still remember the bedsheets our skin wrapped away

The Lights are darkening
Shady Shadows a candle is flickering
Pushing pullin' away

Staring at those frames
they give me pain

I know I'm not dreaming
I know I'm awake
I know I'm not dreaming
I don't need to explain

Too much crack and cocaine
i can sit around til the morning
Those eyes white
Those eyes dry
Persist to stay and lie

Ashtrays of funk and punk so bright
Seems like the room is spinnin around all night
Every single word, every damn wall
Engraved into my song

I know I'm not dreaming
I know I'm awake
I know I'm not dreaming
I don't need to explain

I know I'm not dreaming
I know I'm awake
I know I'm not dreaming
I don't need to explain cause you know me yeah..

cause you know me yeah..
cause you know me yeah..
cause you know me oh yeah!

More and more ppl starting to blog these dayz....haha...mines not going to be special no more =(
I dunt really believe in that 'copying other ppl' shit tho...especially for minor things like blogging (hey, we all hafta somehow do the same stuff sometime, somewhere)........i mean, unless somebody just completely copies everything you do and got no personality of his own, then i'd have prbs wuth it.........as i always emphasize....'be yourself'......do what you want....think what you want......that is rule no.3 (why 3??.....dunno).......
HAha....i hate reading other ppls long blogs.....unless its mine, i can't follow it for too long....gets boring and somehow repetitive to me...

I need to LEAVE!!.....argh....seriously must leave jhu......i'm gettin sick....i need a break.....i need a change.....glad to know that i won't be here all summer.....hopefully UCLA will be different.......i look forward to different people (YES! I DO COMPLETELY!!!).....a different campus and all........

~~~ Nicholas Tse - Without Me (shitty english) ~~~ Somehow i'm absorbed into this 'not so well' sang song......dunno why.....i think the reason is becuz its the type of song i'm thinking about writing.....yeah.....i'm presuming i can produce something of this quality......i'll put up ma lyrics as soon as i write any...i will need feedback anywayz...

Still looking for housing next year....hopefully i'll get a place at HH.....i want an executive.......so i can hook ma speakers, amp, keyboard, guitar, technics and comp all together without having to walk in and out of the bedroom..........hahah....i'm already thinking about getting a drum machine......but i really shouldn't.....that'd be way too much for a college boy........and of course, the balcony!!.....i love balconies.....i absolutely love views....love being high up.....chillin at the balcony is something i have mad appreciation for.....its way better than looking out the window.....

some things need to be said......some things dunt yet...or maybe not even at all.......i think i'm goin to decide not to....

3 exams down........2 more to go........Luck Airik...
Aite...delivery is here now. peace (yes! peace! dunt like it?!)

Friday, May 10, 2002

Can't wait til exams are over......its dragging....argh.....a couple more dayz left and it'll be all over.......sooooooo pleased to get a break before summer skool.....need to slow down and regain some of that peacefulness....

Seriously in the mood to write a song these dayz.......gonna start with some lyrics when tis exam stuff is over.....lyrics seem to be the most problematic at the moment......hard to write about something that isn't too abstract, yet makes sense......i alway end up with something corny too......hopefully, i'll still feel that urge when exams are over........i want to write a whole song on ma own....something prob on the guitar and drums...

Can't believe......can't believe......the closest of ppl can act so selfish.........why is it so hard for ppl to believe in each other....trust one another.......and most importantly, be honest...........honesty can seem so direct, so not caring, or maybe even demanding........but at least it doesn't create more misunderstanding, more confusion.........i'm so glad i've finally stepped out to look at my surroundings once again.......i see immaturity....shit behind words.....disgust....boundaries that i neva thought would exist........i hope i dunt run into many more useless ppl in my life no more.......its so sad.....i feel sorry for our creation........people with such worthless, selfminded priorities.....man....i'm young...but i'm growing by day........stay if you want...but i'm gonna pass.......i'm running a step beyond, i see less respect and no more direction from y'all.....

Everyone of us has our own story......our own shit....our own objectives.....is it not possible for us to take a lil time away from our own sorry ass and check somebody elses story out??.....maybe if we did, we might finally see some more insight and meaning in our own.....learn from their mistakes instead of only from our own.....stop thinking about and for yourself....you dunt need to protect yourself...if you show understanding and kindred....they will too..........respect.....understanding....get it rite y'all....get it rite....know your role..

Sooooo many songs in mind.....i'm starting to get the feeling that there are songs i thought i've already put up but neva did......oh well....i needa try stick to one at a time.....what if i run out rite??! (Airik: ..........).....~~~ Liu Hong Hua - Gan ma (mandarin) ~~~.......this song reminds of KTV at taiwan........hehe...i should try make another trip there sometime.......was cool..........haha.....da bitch i sleep with....always on the smallest beds you can find too........sigh.....i want those meatballs....and 'ai yu bing' (lime jelly with ice).....

Sorry dude (hehe..no names)....nuthin personal k?....for only those that know....hahah......gonna hafta spit this one out ........hehe....did anybody say i had somebody on their knees yesterday at the AC??.......haha....... dang, doubt i've ever given anybody that typa spank before.........i was just feelin da bounce yesterday....swooping left...swishing right....

"I'm your type. I kno it"....hehe......too much usher during studying.......oh, and T.T.P?~!

Wednesday, May 08, 2002

at the lab rite now.....gettin my last data struct program together to hand-in.....or should i say, i'm waitin for the program to come together?!!.....

i'm bored.......i want to ramble about something so that i make use of ma time.......hmmm....letz start wuth da song of the ramble?!....its good i always post a song everytime i come on.....usually helps trigger my other thoughts..... i mentioned last time i've been listenning to hybrid while i study these dayz, so i'll keep ma word and put some of their stuff on.......
i actually wanted to post some of their less popular stuff that i like....but i realized there are a lotta peepz out there that dunt even recognize them....so i'll just stick to their best stuff..~~~ Hybrid - Finished Symphony ~~~.......This song pretty much ties up hybrid's style....,damn nice break beats (the exact type of beats dat keep my heart thumpin everydya).....,the perfect manipulation of strings like nobody has ever done (these guyz seriously make those strings sound like an orchestra).....and lastly, a chill mellow trance melody.......except for that this track doesn't have vocals...its the perfect example of Hybrid work.......the progression of the song is also done extremely well too (yep, it peaks)......a good song to end a party i'd say...

Been playing ball a lil more these dayz....eventhough can't shoot for shit (its geting worse day by day too!!)....but yeah, nuthin else to do i guess.........its either eat, sleep, study, playoffs or ball.......exam period has been significantly more chill than it was last semester....hehe...i was smart this time, i made sure i had a spacious exam schedule...i learned my lesson last semester.......
rite now, i basically still got my soc, signals and data exam left.....should be bearable.......haha....i can't stop emphasizing how much more chill i've become over the semster.......i'm so relaxed rite now......while last semster was pure lib time for me....didn't even think about bloggin

MY CAR!!!.....argh.....i seriously can't wait til it happens (pray that it does!)....that day when i can finally walk up to pisan and say "hey, lets go out for drive...and chill...."........kyokyo =)
Haha....its weird though........cuz chances are i prob won't drive as much as i think i will when i finally get my car......its just knowing you have that freedom of going anywhere you want that makes it chill.....hopefully, i'll have something over the summer....it'll seriously make it so much more enjoyable......
its important to also note that i'll appreciate whateva my parents give me tho.....i'm no 2nd generation mutha fucka who can't give da shit about my parents and their wealth.....yep, i'd honestly be just as happy if they got me a bicycle??.....haha.....no, seriously.....ma dad works his life for my puny ass....and works even harder for my luxurys....hahah...anyhow, yeah, i spit the truth...enuff of that wannabe good son shitz....=P

I'm hungry....i'm goin to get over wuth my work...and head for my ration..

Another study break.....yeah..daz pretty much my weekend.....either studying or watching the playoffs...hehe...anybody mention entertainment fees for watchin the game?!....mo mood..haha....

Been listennin to a lotta different stuff lately.....mainly due to the fact that i've been studying a lot more....so yeah, was listennin to a lotta hiphop stuff lately......but kinda changed today, mainly cuz the beatz and lyrics were starting to get into the way of my concentration.....so took out some less vocal oriented stuff....digweed....hybrid.......was thinking about putting up some of that hybrid stuff up...but i'll prob save that for ma next blog when i'm certain which song of theirs i wanna blog about......rite now, everybody enjoy diz one first...~~~ Chicane - Halycon ~~~....its been a while since i've put up anything more trancy.....so i thought diz one would be perfect...its chill...not repetitive for trance dislikes....not hardcore......yeah...i got this one on 12"...i like it....
gotta stick to my music roots you kno......electronic music...or should i say, mainly 'trance', got me into this whole music thing in the first place...

Ma new colors for the summer...hehe.....pink&white.....gold&white......yep........it'll look cool......can't wait to get those pink adidas superstar cell's.....pink polo.....and also pink shades.....can't think of any gold colored items yet tho..........
its weird how ppl tell me that i'm the 'only' guy that'd choose those colors......and somehow look normal wearing that stuff........haha...maybe cuz i like to look different....i think its damn cool to wear girly colored stuff, and still look masculine in it.......then again, its ma style....doubt the other guyz will agree....

dang, i'm outta rambles.....i had sooooooo many when i was working at my desk just now....wtf......i'm gonna stay tho...hahah....one more ramble at least.......

@ the lib.......taking a study break........caffeinne wearing off maybe??

so much to blog......yet again, so much i won't remember to...

Been listenning to probably considered my fav hiphop CD...~~~ Guru's Jazzmatazz Street Soul ~~~...its damn damn good......i especially like the lyrics and the theme of the songs....i can't even pick and recommend one of them, cuz it wouldn't do the other songs justice......seriously, its worth every dollar spent.......if you're gonna own one Hiphop CD, make this the one......it features craig david, the roots, macy gray, angie stone, blah blah.........its chill...its a mixture of r'n'b, hiphop and has a little jazzy tingle to it....

Once again, retracing those D.I.Y shitz of mine again.....haha....i'm planning to make my own poster (i mean seriously goin to have it print and stuff)....its gonna be phat....i've got the ideas and all that in my mind already...just need to spend time on it....hehe....the 'airik' icon.......kinda dunt want to give it away to peepz who dunno about it yet....but yeah, its keeping me going....something i'll be workin on over the summer??.....it'll be cool to be able to look back at it when i'm older...and be able to say i made it when i was in college.....
yes...and all my other D.I.Y things....the t-shirt (i know how it should look already, anybody know where i can get plain white designer t-shirts?).....and my own album....*phew*....too much i want to do..too lil time to....

I was talking to somebody (i forgot who..haha) about my blog recently.......issues about letting "everybody" read about my feelings and wat goes on in my mind........well yeah.......at least at that moment, i thought it was important to address......from comments i've gotten from others, i've been getting the feeling most ppl believe that deeper feelings should be kept either to themselves or only with closer friends......its weird, cuz somehow, i'm getting influenced about it....at one point, i thought to myself about whether i should make it into my private blog..........i mean, should i?? (nah, i'm an individual!!!...haha)......i originally didnt see a reason for keeping things to myself tho.......i mean, why can't we be more open?...and simply be ourselves.....not hafta hide what we think and how we feel about stuff.....every person's character is the most distinct and spectacular thing they own......we should be proud of it.......
"My name is airik...these are my feelings"....i am what i am.......whats the problem?.......wouldn't this world become so much better if everybody was just more honest to each other....none of that two faced shit...none of that superficial crap....no guessing games...

hmm...wat else did i want to talk about.....

well...exams are coming.....starting from today onwards.....should expect to see me below M-level....yeah....well...hopefully at least......i've gotten so much more laid back this semster.....bad erik..bad...i dunt think i like this change.....hopefully, i'll be able to pull through exams just fine....get it all over with.....yep..last exam on may 14th.....and then gonna head down to ma bro's graduation that nite...meet up wuth family and stuff.........somehow, eventho its not exacty exciting or fun or anything...i want to hang out with them for a bit (14th-20th).....show my respect, love for them......especially my mom and dad for letting me become the person i am.....i know i'm the sole reason to why they work-on...live-on....i know i'm exactly what makes them happy and proud.......so i want to be able to give back what i owe them as well as i can......man, they've helped me get through those rough times...

aite...review session...haha...just wasted 30mins....aite. aite. out.

Song TIME!...hehee.....i'm glad peepz actually d/l them and listen to this stuff....everyone of these songs build me.....makes me become the person i am......it sounds stupid....but itz true....i can't emphasize how much music means to my life.......always with me through bad times...good times (haha..notice how i mention bad times 1st)......i devote my life to music......haha......
just yesterday morning, the electricity was out at bradford.....i woke up feeling miserable becuz i couldn't put on some music through my hifi or comp.....i need to listen to something straight away......its like the morning coffee, you can't do anything else unless you have a cup first.......music is the tru opium of the masses....anywayz, here goes ~~~ Puff Daddy feat. Usher - I Need a Girl ~~~...

Roots Concert last weekend....hehe...was pretty good....haha...at our new AC (anybody mention raves there?!)......yeah, started out pretty dam good...kinda lost it towards the end tho....the solo's were cool....but not the best way to end a concert tho........i thought the drummer was pretty funky...his style is distinct......the keyboardist was aite...i liked the live jazzy stuff he played....i'm goin to learn how to do that sometime........and last of all, the human beatbox......fuck, he's good.......
haha...ppl smokin all around me in there........

haha....i dunno wat to say to you.....no pushing.......i'll just hold back and wait........hahah......the umbrella...shit, neva even told you about it.....i'm such a stupid idiot.....
but yeah, i mean more than a good time too......i mean respect, care, and life just as much..........i will show it through consistency.........i...like regular friends...only ask for a chance.....
