My sister is overzealous in regards to uploading pictures to facebook. Most of the pictures that she uploads are of family and friends and in intimate settings. I make it a point to untag myself in any of these pictures that have me tagged.

I resorted to a weak excuse for why I disliked two particular songs – f(x)’s “ME+U” and Mizca’s “Dame yo♡.” Both songs are autotuned to the extreme. In a world where Jay-Z makes a song just to proclaim that he is not using autotune, you’d assume that overusing autotune is not that big of a deal. Nevertheless, it was the overuse of the autotune that lead me to proclaim the worst excuse for not liking a song:
“This isn’t music.”
I watched him breathe, not in fluid motions of in and out, but rather haltingly. There were no problems with his lungs though. The pain that he was in had been forcing him to focus all of his energy on the menial task of breathing. I’ve never seen someone in so much pain; and certainly [...]
I watched him breathe, not in fluid motions of in and out, but rather haltingly. There were no problems with his lungs though. The pain that he was in had been forcing him to focus all of his energy on the menial task of breathing. I’ve never seen someone in so much pain; and certainly not my father.
There was nothing to do but watch. Painkillers were not working. Even if they found the proper medicine, nothing was going to resolve the pain for the next few minutes. There was nothing to be done. Except watch.
“Do you want to put your backpack down?”
What an absurd question! How can you ask me that when, on that bed, every second that he goes through is one of immeasurable pain. So what if my shoulders are hurting right now. I can’t even feel them right now.
“Do you want to sit down?”
Absolutely not! I want this interrogation to stop, so that I may get back to my watching. There’s nothing else to do. There’s nothing to say. There’s only watching, so stop interrupting me of it.
Fortunately, mom broke the awkwardness and guilt of small talk. It wasn’t even small talk. All that he could do was small talk, muttering “yah” or “no.” This was nothing talk, speaking words that our brains weren’t even transmitting.
My mom and my dad are not expressive. They hug, kiss and obviously care for each other. But they’ve always held back their emotions. I guess pain can do a lot to change that, especially someone else’s pain.
“I know. I know,” as he clinched his arm, pillow, whatever he could grab.
“You’re going to get through this,” as I heard him cry for the first time.
“I love you.”
I just hope there will be more of that to watch.
It’s time for the baseball season and I am a lot more excited about it than I thought I’d be.
Last month, the brilliant green made their second comeback with the release of “Like Yesterday,” and I’ve avoided listening to it so far. I’ve been hesitant to listen to it. Before I do take a listen, I need to talk about what the band means to me and why I’m apprehensive any new releases from this special band.
I like the peace
In the backseat
I don’t have to drive
I don’t have to speak
I can watch the countryside
And I can fall asleep
This may be a peculiar statement to make as I launch my new blog, but here goes: I barely listen to music.
