Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!

So how is everyone?

I know, I know *both my hands in the air in surrender* I've been AWOL a lot since my last post and I realized that I'm not keeping my words so I won't make excuse this time I just hope you'll give me another string of your patience since I think that lately I can't figure myself so I'm a little bit in a soul searching moment or moments rather *that was my called it the other day* with myself and everything that goes with my life, I hope you understand that and I know I sound so over-dramatic and emotional lately but I just can't help it, blame me for being a girl with an on-and-off-tendencies of being melancholic every now and then which I think is kinda bad since it's getting the better of me.

Sigh. Enough of my drama, it's suppose to be Christmas and I'm here weeping my self, Urgh! My bad, just don't mind me people, I just hope everyone is doing fine these days so I here's my Christmas treat for you guys from Enya! Hope you like it and again Merry Christmas! Love you lots people! ;)

P.S. I wish everyone to have in you to pray and hope for the best for the people in the Mindanao (Philippines) that that are affected by the Typhoon Sendong, it's gravely a tragedy for the victims that they had to spend Christmas knowing what they had lost but let's hope and pray that they'll be able to cope and move on.

[JOURNAL]: What's up everyone?! I'm BACK!

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 04:50:33 PDT

Guess who is finally back? Yes, of course I'm back guys! TMB is now back and alive to share you guys more music that I hope will make you enthralled and happy!

I feel kinda guilty now cause I realized that my last post was last July and it's not even really a post but a re-post and I'm really sorry for that. You see, my file account where I save my music files is almost full, I was hoping I could get some help but then again, after months of living it posted, I finally give up seeking that help, it's not like I'm complaining or anything but then again, it's been so long since I've been gone and I kinda miss blogging so I finally decided that I'll just make a new account.

So how's everyone doing? Haha, actually I'm quite happy that even though I've been out a while, this blog still got a lot of feeds so I'm totally grateful to all of my subscribers out there :) (Love you lots people!).

Hmmn, now I guess some of you have been wondering where the hell I've been this past few months. So I'm gonna make you guys a good alibi about it since I totally feel guilty for being out. So I guess some of you know that I'm now on my last semester in College, and yeah, I'll be graduating next month and I'm kinda excited about it but anyway, like I said, I was really busy with school and everything that goes along with it so I actually decided that I'll keep myself out with blogging for a while since I need to prioritize my studies. So basically that's my excuse but I know you'll ask about my 'free time' but then I have another very good excuse about that one, well, actually...hmmn...uh...hmm...sigh...I'VE BECOME ADDICTED TO WATTPAD! Sigh. That's basically it. LOL. If some of you don't know it, it's actually a online community where you can read ebooks of various genre and I've been so in LOVE with it especially with WEREWOLVES!!! I think I've read almost every Werewolves Romance story there and I still can't stop myself for reading more of it. But hey, it's not like it's my fault, because who wouldn't fall in love with it if your talking about 'soulmates' and everything and I personally like werewolves now that I think of it since I really love their idea of a 'mate' I mean it's the sweetest thing I've ever love. Sigh. Now I wish I was a werewolf myself though I'm still afraid of dogs. Haha, my friends thinks I'm a creep since I basically read nonstop, even sometimes ignoring our professor and reading boldly on my phone, hahaha..I never had realize how much of a geek I am now though let's make an exemptions with the textbooks. So if any of you have an account in Wattpad, feel free yo add me up. :)

Sigh. I really miss this rambling and blurting anything in this blog. Hehe, so it's really good to be back now. Though, I still will be a bit busy till graduation and even after, but I hope I'll be able to post more regularly now. So here's a little peace offering I had for you guys so hope you love it :) It's actually one of the soundtrack from the Korean Drama Series Prince S.

PLAY ME~

P.S. It's actually my birthday tomorrow :) xoxo

[REPOST]: *Favor, I need your help...

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 20:38:38 PDT

This isn't actually one of my usual post but what the post title says, I'm in terrible need of your help now (will not exactly that terrible).

As all of those who have always been a frequent guest here in my blog, I'm on the process of repairing it, technically saying, I'm re-uploading all those files & medias that have collapsed since my previous audio hosting site expired and now that I have found a new one, I've ran out of space, I didn't imagine that I've already shared you guys more than 2GB worth of file size from my posts since March up to now and my free account registration has already reached its capacity. I'm sorry that I really don't have the money to spend to upgrade my account because it's too much for me and my allowance can't obviously afford it but thankfully I found another way to increase my file space and that is if you are willing to join and register with the file hosting site I'm currently using now, it's actually a great site if you ask me because once you've upload your file in the site you can synchronize it with your PC or laptop and by clicking the referral link that I will share you below will also help me increase account space. I hope I'm not asking too much from you with this favor but I really appreciate the help you will give since it will help me continue on sharing you guys the music I've set to partake to you all.

and oh, i would mind donations...

[FEATURE]: Esperanza Spalding

So I bet your wondering who this woman is? And don't forget that I myself is included to those people who is thinking the same thing.

To be honest, I just recently heard about her this week, thanks to my sister. Honestly, I thought she was just an instrumental artist from 80s or 90s, please don't blame me that since the video that my sister link me to in Facebook have given me that first impression (since it look like it was taken a decade ago) not to mention the 'hair' (I always thought that only few people keep those kind of hairstyle now) and I didn't actually thought that she was the 53 Grammy Awards winner who beats Justin Bieber for the Best New Artist Awards, no offense but that fact already made me fond of her already since I actually don't like JB that much though I like his 'Never Say Never' since it's one of the soundtrack of Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith's revived movie 'Karate Kid' and I really liked that movie since I'm a Jackie Chan die-hard fan, (so to all JB fans, I hope you don't take my opinion personally and harshly). So anyway, I got myself research more about her, since it kinda made me like her instantly and especially that there are only few artist in the world who plays bass and made herself internationally acknowledge and not to mention that she is in Jazz category and not the Pop culture one.

Aside from being a jazz bassist and singer, she is also a composer and she does also play other instruments like cello which was the first instrument that she intended to play with all the long way but she had fell in love with the bass at the age of 14. That's where all it started. Now I don't want to tell you guys her biography and all since that will make this post long and boring to some others that reading it so here's a link if you want to read all the way (LINK). Anyway, let's stick to some recent news about her. So according to a site that I recently read, she was oldest among the nominees for the award in Grammy but she was the youngest not to mention the first jazz artist to won the award.

Indeed, how could a jazz musician possibly win the Best New Artist Grammy in 2011?

The easy answer is that she's a highly skilled and highly marketable musician. She's obviously photogenic and preternaturally poised in the spotlight, be it on national TV, performing for President Barack Obama three times (twice at theWhite House, once at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony), headlining sold-out shows across North America and Europe, paying tribute to Prince, opening for Prince, co-hosting the Grammy pre-telecast ceremony, or receiving a Grammy herself. This, plus her backstory, youth (she's 26, oldest among the nominees but young as acclaimed jazz performers go) and virtuosic talent, make her a natural spokesperson for an American art form, and the recipient of some crossover attention. ~excerpt from http://www.npr.org/blogs/ablogsupreme/2011/02/17/133748183/wait-who-is-this-esperanza-spalding

So I won't lie to you that I'm still on the process of knowing more about her and liking her music. I like jazz but I only have a few songs and selected artist that I love and her being one of them now. I actually admire women being at the top of the society with just using they're pure talents and skills.

I'm glad to have introduced you to such a great artist. So here's a video I wanna share with you where she performs in the White House so I hope you enjoy it!

Sorry guys, I intended to post more earlier than this but then I got hooked from watching music videos and movies, LOL. So anyway, I want to dedicate this post to my eldest sister, Jehan & my friend Widya!

Now let me tell you about my latest exploits, for the past week, I've been listening various French music even downloading everything that has a 'French' word in it...why? Well, I'm actually looking for this French album that I heard in a café called 'Café France' near the hospital that my father had been admitted to last month. I kinda regret not asking what the albums title so now I'm been doing a scavenger hunt looking for that album, I know your wandering why but if I tell you that it's because the whole time that I've been listening to the tracks of that album every time I get to eat or drop by the cafe, I always get these pleasant feeling of being in Paris listening to it, and really, I totally regret not asking, because now I want to relieve that sensation, I mean that's what I like about instrumental music, they always give me various sensations and feelings when I'm listening to them...hearing them somehow makes you feel that you are living within the culture of the origin from where that music came from and plus the calming effect they always give you. Sigh. Do you get what I'm saying, I mean, I hope you do because it makes me sound like an idiot telling you all the 'trance feeling' I have when listening to these kind of music.

So as far as my hunt had led me, I still haven't found that album. But I came across this album from Alex site, All Music for Soul, I mean I did browse all of his albums in his Archives, even went back from his previous years post to be able somehow fill the excitement I've been gawking-ly been doing looking for that certain album, and unexpectedly, it somehow did the job, because this album maybe full of Classical French music which is kinda far from the New Age French style music I've been looking for, but this album is actually quite nice. I'm not being sarcastic here but really, it's really nice. I know, you might enjoy it too, surely :)

Mind if I tell you that I'll only post my selected tracks in the album since the sizes of the files are quite big and I don't want to use all the spaces in my Dropbox which I'm running out from it and I don't want that to be the cause why I can't post anything anymore in the future so I hope you enjoy my selections. Ciao everyone & Merci for visiting TMB!

Day Dream | Sentimental Dream Part 1

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 07:59:05 PDT

Hey, it's finally June , can you believe it? LOL, that was a stupid question it's already the 10th day of the month so obviously you knew its June, (sorry, I'm just teasing you guys up*chuckles*) so anyway, my last semester has just started this week. I'm so excited because in 6 months I'll be graduating! Yehey! Haha, now that sound so over enthusiastic but you can't blame me about it since right now I'm being all sentimental about the thought of me graduating soon, that's why I can't help but treasure my remaining moments in school, with my friends and classmates.

Really, the thought of me graduating soon makes me feel all too emotional since I'm getting older, I mean by the time I'll be graduating will also be the month that I'll be turning 21! I'm turning 21 this year! Ugh! That makes me feel like I'm so old, I mean I still feel I'm a teen-ager but I don't mind being mature and all. Sigh. Now, I'm thinking a lot of things in my life, I mean I should really plan things ahead since I'm older now, right? How I miss being a kid sometimes, being all innocent and carefree. Tch, really, I'm thinking too much now. Sigh.

So to match my feelings now, I'm going to share you guys another album by Day Dream, Sentimental Dream, now this album is courtesy from Shiho/ Windy's blog, New Age Paradise, so feel free to visit his site since he has a great collection of albums their (believe me). I'm actually listening to it now while I'm typing this post, haha, their quite catchy and soothing to the ears, and with such a sunny but a bit windy weather outside (this is the kind of weather I like a lot, especially when I'm just spending the rest of my day at home) plus a tea to drink while listening to this album is giving me the serenity I need since I'm being all mushy and stressing myself out thinking of my future but for a while I'll just enjoy the luxury of this haven. Enjoy, enjoy!

Studio Ghibli | Whisper of the Heart

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Thu, 26 May 2011 06:05:09 PDT

Hey guys! Miss me?! Me too, I missed my blog...and I'm happy to read some of your messages, I mean it's been so long since I've been able to get in touch with the internet world...well, not really that long you but for me it IS. Sorry for being MIA in here since I got a lot of family issues happening around and one is that my father recently had a heart surgery but don't worry his okay now and doing his rehabilitation phase already and being the soon-to-be-nurse in the family I was obviously been assigned to take care of him this past few weeks but now I'm off duty since I'll be enrolling myself for the new semester and I don't want to miss it since it's gonna be my last semester in college. Geez, I'm finally graduating soon!!!

So as my comeback treat, it's gonna be the another soundtrack from Studio Ghibli, Whisper of the Heart. The movie was somelike a prologue of the past soundtrack movie of same production I posted here before, The Cat Returns, since it is where Baron and Muta is first introduced but only in here, Baron was only a mannequin doll and Muta was your typical fat-alley cat who wanders alot. It's really an old Anime movie actually but I can't help but adore it and I was definitely caught by the Japanese version of Country Road song originally by John Denver in the movie, though the lyrics is not totally the same translation it have in English, the sense of the song is somehow still the same with the original song itself.

So, unlike the story in The Cat Returns, the Anime movie of these soundtrack tells a story about middle-school girl who happens to love reading books than her studies, (I know it's a good hobby but once you got hooked on it, it can be a little nuisance also). Every time Shizuku (our lead girl) borrows a book from the library she always notices the same thing, that there's always same guy who is borrowing the book she had read and even some books that she haven't even read yet, this somehow entice her to know who the mystery person is. One afternoon, when Shizuku forgot the lyrics that she's drafting in school she immediately went back and look for it knowing that she inserted it somewhere in a book she was reading a little while that day only to see a boy of whom she thinks is in same age as her, but only to be criticized by how corny her lyrics is (and I'm talking about her Country Road version, which I personally quite like because it sounded fun, google it if you want to know more about what I mean). Anyway, the next day Shizuku finds herself loitering around the town until she decides to follow this fat alley cat (just for the fun of it and in someway, it also made her curious somehow) leading her to a old Antique shop, fascinated and intrigue with most of its content especially the cat statue wearing a formal attire perks her attention more, only to find that the shop belongs to the grandfather of the same boy who insulted her and what's more is that his the same boy that she was looking for all this time. And I guess you know what happens next. It's really a young and innocent love between teens and their decisions in their future lives. I really the movie because it isn't like how most Anime are now as we see it nowadays. Anyway, same as usual, I suggest that you watch it for yourselves :)

[OST]: The Girl Who Leap Through Time

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 05:55:16 PDT

I don't know why haven't I posted this sooner before but nonetheless, it's still great that I'm able to do it now.

Along with the Ghibli Movies and the Anime movie '5 Centimeter Per Second', I also want to introduce to you guys one of the greatest Anime movie I've watched, 'The Girl Who Leap Trough Time'. Though I'm a fan of movies, sci-fi are something that I had a bit least interest with, I mean, I better much like movies and plotlines that realistic and touching, you get what I mean?...Anyway, the movie is a sci-fi as all of would have guessed already, with a bit of humor and romance-comedy that I like. Actually the concept of the movie itself brings reality of what youngsters undergoing puberty has in their life, like for example, deciding what do after graduating high school? what kind of course to take? or should I still continue studying? some just nonchalantly complain about everything that there parents are nagging them for things like they should take this and that and proceed to this and that...blah...blah...blah...(which by the way, all these examples are my real-life experience) in other words, Change, in which is inevitable. I mean, at one point or rather many points in our lives, we are often confused, hesitant and even indecisive with our future plans...sometimes wishing that 'I could go back to that time when everything was carefree and no any responsibility or obligations that needs to be fulfilled'...or sometimes hoping that 'nothing will change'.

Now enough with the my deep thoughts since I'm beginning to fly out from my topic. 'The Girl Who Leap Through' time was actually a novel entitled 'Toki o Kakeru Shoujo' which is the Japanese title, created about 4 decades ago, I'm not sure, and has been made to a movie many times already and last year made it's third live-action movie version, more like a sequel to the original story line, actually, I've recently finished watching the movie a while ago and thought of posting this one after finishing it, but the soundtrack that I'm going to share with you guys is the 2006 Anime movie version of the novel...honestly, I really liked the Anime more than those three movie versions. I wouldn't want to dwell more on how the story goes, best watch it or read the summary of the story.

All in all, I totally love this movie and be one of my most fave Anime movies of all. No words could best describe these movie made me feel, maybe a nostalgia of something serene but not really close to that. The moral of this movie is to'never be afraid of changes' because nothing is constant, you just have to face it and accept it wholeheartedly. :)

[OST]: Taiyou No Uta ~ A Song to the Sun

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 11:09:03 PDT

A month ago, I'm not sure when exactly is that, my classmates and I were talking about movies, we were so crazed on watching cute love-story movies from Thailand, South Korea & Japan until she recommended me a Japanese movie entitled 'Taiyou No Uta'. When I heard the title, I paused and thought for a while because the title sounds so familiar to me and when I asked her to tell me some scenes about the movie and confirmed some things about the story, I knew then that I really did know it. It's actually a live-action movie version of a Manga I've read before...so I downloaded the movie and watched it...of course, why wouldn't I, right?!

The story goes about a girl that has always been watching for a certain guy from her window, she had been watching him for so long now that she eventually fell in love with him even though she doesn't know anything about him. The problem now is that the girl, though she wants to get to know that guy, she can only go out the house at night when the sun is out because she can't be under the sun due to a possibility that it might kill her. It's actually a skin disorder with no cure (Poor Kaoru, that's actually her name). One night, while she was at her usual spot and singing & playing her guitar, she saw that guy again and this time she wasn't hesitant now to introduce herself to him, even saying that she had never had a boyfriend before...it was actually a hilarious scene if I'll tell you everything but that's how the story goes, either watch or read for the rest of it. When I first read the Manga, I cried...really cried, because I never expected that she would happily accept her fate, also that lyrics in her song were so touching, how she literally express her feelings...that's why I wanted to watched the movie so eagerly and see if they used the same lyrics to it...and of course, they really did use it. I've been actually listening to it now for almost two weeks already and I never got myself tired of it, even though it's in Japanese, knowing how it mean, I really fell in love with it and not to mention the soundtrack of the movie also. So for tonight, I'll share to you this small treat and advise you that you watch the movie or read the Manga because I assure you, you'll love it ; ) Good Eve!

Firefly | It's Summer Time

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 06:11:14 PDT

A lot of things happened around me that I didn't notice that it is actually summer by now.

A few days ago, I was at my hometown. I came home to attend my little brother's graduation and to of course, enjoy the family reunion since my second eldest sister came home with her family to have their family summer vacation. Just the other day, I was babysitting her almost two-month old baby, Haniqah. Truth to be told, I actually like babysitting babies, I mean, aren't they adorable? (Just say yes!) Especially those who were recently been born, oh, how much I want to cuddle and have a bite of them (Meany me ;) Anyway, while I was babysitting little Haniqah, I was playing this long forgotten album I had downloaded from Shiho's blog entitled "It's Summer Time" by Firefly and also since I remember hearing something about babies listening to Classical music, I thought of making her listen to an New Age music and hoping she might like it...and yeah she did somehow like it...she stopped crying...but only for a bit...LOL.

After little Haniqah slept. I was continuing listening to the album for hours. I forgot that I actually heard this album sometime before and for hours I just kept repeating it. It may not sound like it's the perfect summer beach music but the refreshing and relaxing sound of it that comes along with some background sounds of nature makes it more comfortable to listen to in these scorching heat of the sun.

It's Summer Time

Sensitive Plants

Now in the Starry Night

Roses and Dews

Sunshine on the Ox-Carriage

Rather, this album gives me an impression of spending my summer vacation in a peaceful farmland than in the beach, don't you think so? Enjoy :)

Hello everyone! Again, sorry for posting late because I'm really busy nowadays since this semester is ending I've been making a lot of requirements since February especially my thesis, but thank God that I'm able to finish it now and doing bit of corrections. Anyway, today I receive a comment from Enrique (I hope you don't mind that I mentioned your name here), and I'm actually feeling glad and concerned with it. Its really is nice when someone is concerned with how you feel because somehow it entails you that they care for you.

I know that I've been posting a lot of sad-related-posts recently. I didn't realize that other people would be too concerned about it. Sorry for that and Thank You. Truth is, though I may sound so melodramatic here in the blog, I'm a strong person and a happy-go-lucky one at times. Though I may sound so contradicting but its True. Believe me. I admit that I'm the emotional type but I'm also stubborn about showing my sensitive feelings to others and instead often show them a fake facade. But recently, I've learned that it's not that really good making your fake facade to cover your true emotions because it becomes a habit and once it's a habit, it'll be hard for you to revert back to your true self, and because of that others abuse you and since you've gotten used to your fakeness, it's hard to stand against for yourself...and I was actually like that ever since High School though I've change little by little now. I realize after that little change that somehow being with the people who really knows you and knows what you really feel and respect you with it, was somehow a light breeze. It's more comfortable now than I usually have been before. But maybe I would haven't realize it all if I didn't know how lonely and melancholy I've been feeling every now and then, it's like a saying I've heard before, "If you don't know what loneliness is, you wouldn't have know how important and precious little happiness can be." or something like that. The point is, just don't overdo it and always be positive and never give up. Yeah~it's cliche and I know you've heard it a million times from movies or maybe read it in novels and books but it's had always been effective you know. Trust me!~ ; )

So let's move on now with what I'll be sharing you, I actually discovered this album from Shiho's blog, New Age Paradise, he actually have many great albums so better visit him if you want. It's an album by Hiroki Kashiwagi entitled Pictures, his a Japanese Cellist, it's really a lovely album and very warming and nostalgic too. You know the feeling of visiting your old home and looking at your old family or friends album or looking at those picture frames that is decorated in your living room and somehow you remembered those moments that happened when those pictures where taken, that is the kind of feeling I've been feeling listening to this album, too much like from a movie scene isn't it, hehe :) but I really kind of love that since it somehow brings back old good happy memories. Now I sound like I've defined the meaning of this album for myself. Anyway I hope you love it also :)

The Second Star to the Right

To Enrique, I hope you feel better now and like this album. :)

Heartwarming Sounds [Part IV]

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 05:33:20 PST

I'm again at one of my own-melancholic-fantasy moments tonight though I did have an overwhelming afternoon with some of my friends, I still can't shake this unsteady and empty feelings now that I'm alone in my apartment. These days has been like that and please don't get me wrong with me going on drama with my love life since I seem to have posted this notion at this kind of moment (I'm talking about Valentines, if you still don't get it) and the one thing I know that would comfort me now is listening to something refreshing to my ears and thank God I came across with these album.

Now that I remember it, these was one of the albums that I downloaded the past year that I have seem to have forgotten, but I'm glad that it suddenly came to me when I'm feeling all lonely and melancholic, it really comforted me, somehow *smile*, especially this track entitled 'Rakkou', it really did lifted a heavy feeling inside me that I don't why did I have it in the first place but the more I listened to it, it somehow it continued to uplift me that it utterly feels so nostalgic all of a sudden...actually I really don't know what exact words to describe it because just a while ago I was feeling blue but as I type this words now and listens to the whole album, I feel like my whole mood brighten up.

Now, I guess it's been so long since I've last posted my Heartwarming Sounds series in this so for tonight's post will be some tracks of the album that I hope you all will surely like, oh, by the way, the album is actually a soundtrack from an Anime series I've watched before entitled 'The Twelve Kingdoms', I haven't yet finish watching all the episodes but it surely is a nice Anime especially if you have a thing for Historical ones.

I really love this album in all sense because of how it sounds oriental and sensational, I guess I'll be listening to it for this entire night. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this treat and may ease anything that you might bitterly feeling :D Goodnight!

Due to some events that is happening around me this past few days, I seemed to have forgotten that it's already Valentine's and I finally realized it when I was eating in a Cafe alone and then I realize that everyone around were couples and the cafe itself has that Valentine atmosphere in it...It was utterly awkward...I was sparing myself by finishing my meals soon before I get infected by those couples. Sigh, yeah, that's the reality of being single but irregardless of that, I pretty much enjoy it though I think it's priceless to have someone you love beside you in this kind of atmosphere, just say you can't help but agree with me about this because it's the truth, somehow...

Well, it's really not bad being single...(yeah, too cliche for an alibi, haha).

Now that I remember something I retweeted in Twitter by JustWannaSayIt, "I'm not single, and I'm not taken. I'm simply on reserve for the one who deserves my heart. Cause they say good things take time." It sounded pretty much like an excuse but for a girl like me who still dream of an ideal Prince Charming, maybe this is the best excuse I might use from now on...haha...Sorry, though this occasion calls for those 'lovey-dovey' couples out there, I wouldn't want to abandon my fellow-prince-charming dreamers out there so I hope everyone enjoy this special atmosphere, single or already taken.

For tonight's treat is from nonetheless from Yiruma with his album Love Scene...I really think this music would be a good mood-setter for those who are planning to have a candle-light dinner for their dates on Valentine's Day itself so might as well use it to your hearts content. Hehe :)

[FEATURE]: What A Love Song Would Be Like...

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 20:56:41 PST

I really wasn't sure if I should make this post but I can't help but like the song and blurt it out to everyone. I mean what really captivated me of it was how the lyrics sounded like a honest love confession but I guess if you have watch the movie from where it came from, you might have a slightly different opinion about it but nonetheless, as for me, I like it cause it somehow gave me a whole new lot of perspective and really, the song sounded and meant really great!

I know you have heard me talk about Thai movies from my last post and honestly, I'm starting to really have a hooked on them. I thought that the only Thai artist/celebrity I would know would be Tor Saksit but I guess, gladly, it would not just him now. Now this is a confession, I honestly am not comfortable hearing Thai language because when it comes to Asian, I could only understand my own native tongue and used to hearing Korean & Japanese--which is entirely thanks to TV Dramas that they have and as well as Animes, respectively. But I'm starting to like Thai movies more especially now that I discovered that there are cute guys in it too ^^, (sorry but I'm weak against hot/cute guys).

This instrumental that I'll feature now is actually from one of the soundtrack song featured in that Thai movie entitled 'The Love of Siam', now honestly, I thought this movie was one of those gay-movies out there but it was my bad for judging it completely at first, the movie was actually nice, if it were in Japanese Manga terms, the movie was more like Shounen Ai rather than a Yaoi, if you don't know what that words mean, better search for it yourself. Anyway, the story goes about two boys, Mew and Tong, who were childhood friends and neighbors. Now, they got separated because one moved out and some years later they meet again and something inside stir up inside of them-that kind of thing, and one thing leads to another and others, I wouldn't tell the rest because it would make this post incredibly long so just click the highlighted title for the rest of the summary of the movie. I think it's better if you watch the movie yourself but I hope you watch it till the end before you judge it because truth is, if you look the movie in a different perspective, it's really a good one.

So, I'll be attaching the lyrics and MV of the song for you to actually hear it. I hope that you'll like it as much as I did.

P.S. The sound isn't in the best quality, actually, I just found it in YouTube and converted it to mp3. I want to give the credits to oatato for this instrumental.

"Each Other"

What If I say it's the song written for you

it might be too frank not like other songs do

I just want you to know if no love there's no love song

But for you i can easily glide along

You must've heard millions of ordinary songs of love

all the inspirations are same, they came of

but if you hear it carefully you'll see what i was meant

that besides my feelings you'll only here silent.

It's just the song for two of us, only you and me are discussed

be together from now on

Like poetries with out a scope

when there is love there's always hope

Everytime your love shines on my heart

I always see

Love has many different description

And i spent times trying to find the one

Finally I realized everytime you are nearby

That if my life is a song then you are the words fulfilled with perfect rhymes

It's just the song for two of us, only you and me are discussed

be together from now on

Like poetries with out a scope

when there is love there's always hope

Everytime your love shines on my heart

I always see

Together we walk along with my voice and yours in song

Fragrance of Cello Part 2/2

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 03:55:08 PST

If I didn't own this blog and I was just working it for someone's else sake, I guess I would have been fired for being so lazy (sorry for that) a long time ago but thankfully, it's mine. Hahaha (LOL).

Anyway, I just had finished watching this Thai Movie that my friends keeps on bugging me to watch for this past few days and luckily, I was able to download it with English subtitle. I wouldn't want to spoil you guys too much about the movie because I'm thinking of blurting it all out once I get hold of it's soundtrack and post it here on the blog soon but for now since I'm still on the hunt looking for the album, I'll just tease you with it. Sigh. It's really indeed a great movie since My Sassy Girl (I'm talking about the Korean version) but I personally, somehow, I like this movie more since it's more focused on High School kids and that made me missed all those time when I was that kind of kid, I mean, I did have a crush but maybe by far, he was the last 'real' guy I had ever been infatuated for because I really can't remember being hooked or been interested on some other guys now in College and seriously if there were good ones, they either would already be taken or gays---no offense meant. But anyway, I remember reading something from a Manga I was reading a while ago before I watch the movie, one of the guest character said that "You shouldn't take a simple crush for granted because this what makes you prepared from what comes next...True Love", sounds selfishly stupid but it has some points in it.

I wouldn't want to tell more about the movie and myself here (because I've been spilling all my pitiful love life here) and spoil my future post for it so I'm getting straight to the point of this post. Since I'm still high with all the oozing-innocent-teen-age-puppy-love feeling I think it's appropriate that I post the second part of Fragrance of Cello. Sorry for taking so long to post this but anyway, hope you like it anyway.

Where is the End of Separation

Now that I think of it, some of the title of the tracks have negative feelings in it but oh well, I'm still feeling warm here, hehe :)

[OST]: Leap Year

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 03:11:14 PDT

I was meaning to post this one last year but it seems to be that I had forgotten it but it's better to post it now than never, right? So this post for tonight is a soundtrack album of a movie I watch last year. If you hadn't watch the movie yet, the story actually goes like this, it's about a girl who somehow desperately wants to get married, settle her life and have a family and when she thought her boyfriend is gonna propose to her but had given her an earing instead of a ring which makes the scene pretty much a misunderstanding, now the girl decides that she'll handle it in an old traditional Irish way since her boyfriend is now in Ireland for a business trip, legend says that during a leap year, a girl can actually have the opportunity to propose to the man of her destiny and live a happily ever after life with him. So our pretty lass decides surprise her boyfriend and propose to him just like what the legend says...but things pretty gotten messy and I guess you might have guess what comes next with the story after the girl meet another guy in Ireland...that's how the story goes, I guess and Oh, the title of the movie is actually Leap Year, as what you obviously see in my post title.

I actually really like the story though I was attracted rather most with the musical background and how the nature of the sound make it so romantically Irish, which is thanks to the one who made the music, Randy Endelman (it's my first time knowing about him) and it made me somehow imagine dragons and Braveheart along with it...I don't know why about that...but the feeling is rather like a mix of excitement of magic and romance...haha...now I'm talking nonsense again.

I'll cut myself here and rather let you enjoy this post...because I might spit some nonsense again...haha...So 'Bain sult as' as they say in Irish...about the meaning...better look into it yourself...Good night everyone!

Yiruma | Doggy Poo's OST

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 00:20:59 PST

I know. I haven't post any Yiruma album recently that's why I decided to post one to welcome this year with.

At first I never realized that this album was a soundtrack album by Yiruma from a movie that I haven't actually seen yet, so I'm thinking of downloading it and watch it some of this days, but anyway, rather than focusing myself to think that the album's title is really weird, sorry for thinking so, I couldn't bring myself to hate the musician behind so I might as well ignore the title because as to the contents, its everything that I expect to hear from Yiruma. Such delicately played tunes; warm and soothing and that's what I really like about his style. Oh how much I would love to see him actually play...I guess I should visit South Korea in the future, that's would be something to look forward to. Smile.

UPDATED: I finally able to complete the files on all the tracks, sorry for the inconvenience anyway, and I want to thank first Alex Music Blog as well as GetAsianMusic.com because without too much hassle, I just copied their links to the other half since it's take me time again if I'll upload the other half. So I hope you enjoy this post:)

TMB's NEW YEAR Countdown Special!

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 06:00:02 PST

This year has been one of my most memorable time in my life because it was the time when I realize that I had some of my first experiences about everything...like riding a ship, an airplane, experiencing my first big failure in college, standing out for myself in a talk-fight (I didn't started it) and a lot of things that I think I better keep to myself, hehe =). This year has also been a great one for this blog since it's been more than a year since I first started it and I'm very glad that as time goes by I was able to get more guests and what's more great about it is that I was able to befriend some, exchanging our various thoughts with various topics...mostly everyday-things and anything =), and somehow it really made me feel like I belong to a place.

I'm very thankful to those who even bothers to mail me just to let me know that they like my blog or send some request though I think at most times that I'm just being a selfish brat who just insist my personal likes and thoughts to others, which I kinda think that it's half-bad and half-good. But I can never deny that I had it tough this year, mostly because of some experiences that test my patience and decisions...the feeling of insecurity and loneliness that I felt every now and then, but, in a way, I'm glad that I was able to overcome most of it on my own and I hope in the future I'll be able to do the same.

This coming year, I will have many new year resolutions to be done...I better not mention it all but I'll tell you one thing and that is I hope I can share you guys more music from various artists, soundtracks, instrumentals and my thoughts with it this coming year like I always do...also I'll have a load of wishlist that hopefully I'll get sooner or in the future.

So before to end this year, I want to share you guys this very Scottish-sound like or let's just say a Scottish bagpipe version of a song and a quote by Carl Bard that I think will give you an inspiration for this coming year.

Auld Lang Syne

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

TMB's Holiday Christmas Special!

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 07:25:48 PST

How's your Christmas everyone?! I hope everyone had a great time with your family, friends and love ones these days! Though I for one don't literally celebrate this season since it's not really the kind of thing to be celebrated in my religion...I do share that friendly-warm atmosphere with everyone else especially I'm having that week here in Manila.

I've been gone my friends and I guess that goes without saying that I'm been with the flow with the holidays, haha, don't blame with that one okay and another reason also is that my laptop has been wrecked so I had all the week mourning about it and at the same time deciding which brand I would buy new and finally decided on this one, a Samsung Netbook, a lot smaller than my usual lappy but I'll be getting used to it soon besides I love Samsung but still I love my Toshiba lappy since it's been with me for almost three years and I never thought that I would be buying a new one right after in my last year in college, sigh. I still adore it even though it pains me to see it's LDC totally wrecked because of the droplets of water that I didn't notice on my laptop's screen. I'm glad my Mom didn't nag me further about my own recklessness why I didn't take care of it better.

So before I go nuts with talking about my new lap--scratched that, I forgot it's a netbook, here's my Christmas Holiday Special Treat to everyone enjoying these cold season and now awaiting for what seems to be a new beginning that I hope that everyone is waiting to welcome soon.

Silent Night

(I actually got this version from House MD soundtrack,

the one that House played but I forgot what season that is...hehe:)

Merry Christmas Everyone!

and

Happy New Year!

TMB's Christmas Season Special: Once Upon A December

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 23:24:16 PST

So it's already Christmas season everyone. I'm actually kinda excited for this month for actually, I've been wanting for this day to come so that I could post today's treat. I really am anticipating it because I really think that this month would be the greatest day to post it, nonetheless, I think you already get what I'm trying to say, don't you? Haha... So for today's post, it's Once Upon A December music box version from the Animated movie, Anastasia...I personally love the movie and the story and mysteries about the Romanov family but let's leave that thought and I hope that you enjoy this post.

Once Upon A December

It's already the season so I hope everyone is feeling great about it though I don't literally celebrate the occasion, I still enjoy this light atmosphere that goes with it so I hope this year's last month would be another unforgettable memories for each and everyone.

[JOURNAL]: Empty feeling

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 04:01:36 PST

I feel empty now. I don't know why but I just feel so lifeless. It's not really the first time but every time I'm all by myself, I can't help but feel empty. Even though my outside world is full of people that I get along and sometimes not-comfortably getting along with, I still feel insecure for most of the times...that in the end I'm just making a facade so that I could peacefully end my day without being questioned by anyone about why...it's maybe just my own precaution because I know that even if I tried explaining myself at some point, I, myself don't know the answer to my own problem or why is it in the first place that I'm thinking and feeling it so.

I guess I've been thinking so deep. I feel unsure whether it's right to post this thoughts here in the blog but to be honest, I just feel somehow relieved knowing that there will be someone who would be reading this post and maybe could give me a good advice.

Alone

Sorry for barging you with this random post. Don't worry, I won't miss sharing you guys something that goes along with these mood. I just hope you like it.

Jukebox Hits: Old Songs [Part III]

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 04:20:13 PST

So here we are now in our third part of my Jukebox Hits of Old Songs featuring again one of my most favored guitar artist, Sungha Jung, haha...I feel like every time I post this edition, I'm only featuring him but I guess that doesn't matter anyway because who wouldn't want to listen to a great young artist like him, right? Just agree with me okay.

For tonight's post, I'll be posting the remaining tracks from his album Perfect Blue which I had posted already the other tracks on my previous post of this edition because the next edition, I'll be featuring a new artist which I haven't mentioned here in the blog before, so I just hope I could tease you up with this tidbit news.

Enjoy listening to this post >_<

Tonight we have another treat from the Elements Series by Peter Kater, The Fire. I didn't noticed this sooner but autumn is almost ending and winter is on its way for Christmas so I hope this little treat will warm you up...

I hope this treat would warm you from this cold "-ber" season. Ciao!

[FEATURE]: Eric Frontière | Soul of the Magic Piano

ainiesam27@gmail.com (AINIESAM27) — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 03:34:05 PST

This is someone I found on YouTube sometime ago. He actually shared me his music since he notice that I like Yiruma, well, that's not a secret. But I find this guy's music really great...it's calming, sensual, and elegant. I hope if he don't mind, he could give me some of his music so that I can share it you guys but I think that's impossible.

Anyway, I still know almost nothing about this guy we only exchange each other few messages in YouTube but what I do know is that if you want to buy his music, you can found him at Amazon, iTunes, & other online stores.

So here's the video he shared me with, I hope you like it because, I actually like it a lot :) And if you want to have a copy of the piano sheet here's the link, CLICK ME :) but if you want to buy his music, feel free to CLICK ME! Enjoy!

Hello everyone! Now I have this special treat to every Korean Drama-suckers out there because today's post are from various Korean TV Series soundtracks and I for one was enthusiastically happy when I found this album at Shiho's blog. What's more exciting about it is that it's all in Cello version...actually, I'm a sucker at Cello, followed by Violin and Piano but I'm neither able to play any of the three (that's the only frustrating part I guess)...
