Because S&R is a Magical Place

One thing I hate about grocery shopping is that I end up wanting to buy the entire damn supermarket. I can't help it, everything looks so good when I'm shopping with mom/dad/someone who can afford all the shit I want.

Seriously though, look at the pictures again and tell me you don't want to buy everything in one go.

And this is why I'm fat.

Won't Cave In

Prideful girl, I’ll keep you; steal you if I have to

Shelter you and give you all of me

Ruthless girl, I’ll love you more than I would dare to.

Carelessly, we’ll slip into a lovers’ coma

I don’t wanna live another lifetime if I’m not gonna end up by your side (again)

Again and again

I will find you; I’ll find you

Again and again

We will crash into each other again

Stubborn girl, I’ll hold you, wrap your heart so close to mine and I will leave no gaps between

Playful girl, I’ll thrill you; tease you like you want me to

Make your day in many ways; we’ll make this work, just

Rest your weary heart upon my battle scars. We won’t tire; we will make it out (alive)

Alive, we’re alive

We won’t cave in, won’t cave in

Alive, we’re alive

We will crash into each other again

Prideful girl, I’ll keep you

Ruthless girl, I’ll love you

Stubborn girl, playful girl

I will hold you, I will thrill you

Again and again

I will find you; I’ll find you

Again and again

We will crash into each other again

(I won't leave you)

I’ll keep you, I will keep you

Garageband + iPhone

Two months ago, I made a daring purchase (I say daring because, well, I never really buy shit online) in the app store and got myself the Garageband iPhone application.

Here's what I came up with on my first try:

  

Lonely bee, can you hear me calling? Waiting for your sting~

10 minutes to navigate around the app, familiarize myself with it, put together the instrument parts, and then write the lyrics. I know I could've made something longer, but I just wanted to try it out. Hopefully I'll get around to recording an entire song in the near future. Knowing how lazy I get when it comes to handling equipment, I'll probably be recording my next song with this baby. 

Basically, it's a really compact version of the desktop program. All in all, I'd say it's a pretty handy app to have when you're on the go and you have something you're itching to record and you don't give a damn about the sound quality (not implying that the quality is crap because it totally isn't).

If you're the type of person who enjoys making the most out of/abusing your iPhone, you might want to look into these products:

The Mikey 2.0

and...

The Amplitube iRig

The Mikey 2.0 is a stereo microphone that you can attach to your iPhone 3Gs/iPod Touch/iPod Classic (not compatible with other iPod models). The Amplitube iRig is an interface that allows you to connect your guitar directly to your phone. Pair the iRig with the built-in Garageband amps and pedals, and you've got yourself one heck of a machine in your hands. 

More about the Mikey 2.0 in the official product page -> clickityclack

And of course, the Amplitube iRig's got one, too -> clickitycloo

And just in case you're interested in reading the poorly-written write-up I did a while back on the Mikey, clickity your way over here -> clippityclap

Hit the jump for more info on the Garageband iPhone app!

As promised!

(Unedited) Pictures taken with the lego camera

It was nearing midnight on Christmas Eve and I was running around the streets of Hong Kong with that wonderful blinking blue wand.

Our 7-11 noche buena~

Shots... of Yakult.

I'm seriously hoping my sister doesn't see this. Hello Ral I love you please don't kill me omg

In an attempt to capture the clutter in my room

And my favorite picture of all time:

Taking pictures with a camera pieced together by mini blocks of fun really is something.

COLLECT ALL THE LEGO~

Unlike my sister, I don't care much about the quality of the photographs I take. As long as I capture the moment, no matter how blurry or badly composed the picture is, I'm happy with the outcome.

That's where this baby comes in

IT'S A MOTHERFLIPPIN LEGO CAMERA!!!

I've wanted the camera ever since I first read about it on some website I stumbled upon back in high school (or was it grade school?). After x long years of not-so-secretly wanting it, I finally got it! Brother and I found it semi-hidden in some store in Hong Kong. 

And of course it had to have the Lego mp3 player displayed beside it

Okay, the specs are nowhere near impressive (nowhere near decent, says my sister), but COME ON, IT IS A LEGO CAMERA. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?

I MEAN, SERIOUSLY

SERIOUSLY.

 It comes with a USB cable that functions as a charger and as the thing you use to transfer pictures onto your computer. Look at my baby charge!

I will be using Tiffany (yes, I named the camera after my best friend) often because using something that isn't professional doesn't pressure me as much. Like, if I had my sister's camera, I wouldn't be able to take pictures because I'd be too worried about how the picture would come out and stuff.

Photos taken with the camera will be published in another post! If I don't get too lazy to upload them...

You can read more about the camera's specs here

[EDIT: photos have already been uploaded and are in this blog post]
