Alicia Keys - No One
Dude, this girl is one of my heroes. One of my favorite divas, Ms. Alicia Keys is one of the most talented, most beautiful, most flyyyyyyyy artists out there today. I love her. And I want her range. Haha. But anyways yes... this song was on repeat for a while and also on my list of attempted acoustic guitar covers. The song's catchy backed up with her awesome piano skills and it hit home for me during the beginning of 2009. Good times. Hard times, but nevertheless, good times. Her new album comes December 15; something to add to my Christmas wishlist ;) Peace!

See You on the Other Side!
Almost... it doesn't feel like today's my last final for the quarter... am I in denial about graduating? I love college, but... adventure is out there!!!
Keri Hilson feat. Kanye West & Ne-Yo - Knock You Down
Not sure why, but during the summer this song was on repeat fer sure. And everytime it came on the radio I was sure to turn up the dial and claim, "OH, this my jaaaaaaaaaaaaam!!!" And yes this song was probably overrated and people probably got sick of it fast (with my help most likely), but still. Love the song. Initially I sang the lyrics without much attention, just enjoying the musicality and talent of Ms. Hilson (not so much Kanye). But it was Kanye's ending verse that stuck with me since during the summer there was drama for your mama (that I still can't believe happened). But I loved this song and even attempted to learn it on the acoustic guitar with failure...hahaha but yes, now it's all nostalgic for me.
Bonus! One of my favorite covers of the aforementioned song :)

Delayed Track 4
It's finals week so don't blame me for not updating. Almost done though. Whatup! :)
2NE1 - I Don't Care
Over the summer, I hung out frequently with my youth kids and they infected me with KPop influenza. I had it long ago when I was in middle school and I thought I got it out of my system but the virus lives on. Deadly deadly virus. Anyways, 2NE1 is the cool and hip girl group of JYP Entertainment (some Korean music label) and this was their second single. My kids sung it frequently and due to its catchy repetitive chorus, I did too. Eventually I fell in love with it. I'm still embarrassed about my interest in this KPop girl group, especially since Mr. Dino teases me so much regarding it. But whatevs, I don't care... ;) I don't play it often now because it reminds me of my youth kids and tends to make me homesick/nostalgic.
Oh, and favorite line? 지금은 새벽 다섯시반.

What a Way to Start the Day
“It was the luckiest shot I’ve ever taken, by far,” Bryant said. “It felt good, (but) I just couldn’t believe this ball might go in on this shot.”
Any fellow Lakers fans?

Track 3
I'm so tired... BUT
Mr. Dino's cousin is a rapper. I know, right? It's pretty entertaining. When I first heard of this I was a bit apprehensive, like: hmmmm...asian rapper? I don't know. But after listening to some of their latest tracks, I'm a fan now. ESPECIALLY after meeting the aforementioned cousin and getting VIP access at the club, I'm a fan now. Hahaha, thanks cuh. But anyways... This track was definitely one of my "feel good" songs. It was on repeat everyday I walked to class. Honestly, yes, I feel like a millionaire. God's given me so much and life is so awesome and I love all my friends and fam and everyday is so unpredictable. Very awesome. Excellent, if you will. Hahaha
I think currently they are in the process of making a music video to this track featuring Jin the rapper and under the direction of WongFu Productions. So you know it's gonna be sick. I seen it out on youtube yet so they must still be working on it. Or not, cause I think they're on tour with LMFAO for the time being so for now...
The Far East Movement feat. Jin - Millionaire
Also, since I love the lyrics so much...

Also, since I love the lyrics so much...
My life feels just like a dream ...

Familiar Environments
I'm not sure why I haven't been blogging at work.
...
Today was my last day of class for my last fall quarter as an undergraduate. YEE. I'm almost done with all my assignments, so the rest of the weekend is left for reviewing outlines and practice questions.
I like looking at my degree progress report and seeing all the sections with "-Completed-" and "SATISFIED" written at the bottom.
I dislike looking at my study list for winter quarter and seeing 830AM class (it's gonna be freaking cold) and waitlist position 11.
And after a responsible and God-glorifying amount of studying...let's play settlers! :)
