I don't remember how many times I've listened to Demi Lovato's "Catch Me" but every time I listen, I hear something different. I catch things I didn't catch the previous times. And I follow that sound. I isolate the rest of the song and think about what it sounds like by itself. Just random twangs and strums. But if those sounds weren't there, the song wouldn't be complete. It wouldn't be the same. It'd probably still sound good without the minor background percussion and whatnot, but the artist chose to add those sounds. Of all those sounds that exist out there, the artist picked that specific sound. Why? It got me thinking about music production and in a way, it shed light on something I'd never thought of before.

It's interesting sometimes to focus on something you've never paid attention to before.

I tell you stories not because I want to brag about the so-called fascinations of my life, but because I think you're worth sharing myself with. Because all my quirks and adventures, my tales and wonders--they're what makes me who I am. I want to share what makes me happy, excited, even sad with you because I want you to know what makes me feel that way and why. I want you to know me.

Leave it to Demi Lovato to make me feel better.

I can make the rain stop if I wanna,
Just by my attitude.
I can take my laptop, record a snapshot, and change a point-of-view.


I go where life takes me, but some days it makes me wanna change my direction.
Sometimes it gets lonely, but I know that it's only, a matter of my perception.

I just entered this brand new world, and I'm so open-hearted.
I know I got a long way to go but I'm-I'm just getting started.
I'm over my head and I know it, I know it.
I'm doing my best not to show it, to show it.
Whatever it takes to be what I was meant to be, I'm gonna try.
'Cause I'm living the dream and I know it, I know it.
I'm trying my best not to blow it, to blow it.
& I know everything will be fine with me, myself, and time.


And baby, there's nothing like this moment.
To just be real and let the truth be spoken.
Whatever's broke I can make it unbroken.
Turn the lead in my head into something golden.
If I just try more love.
If I just try more love.
Then I'll find myself in time.

My first time with coffee.

I like it. /:

"It's goin down,

Shades of grey--"

FADE. TO. BLACK.

In ASL class today, we were grouped in pairs to practice signing directions. One person says she "needs" an object or item of some sort and the other tells her where she can find it.

After going through the vocabulary list, my partner came up with: "I need a bear," to which I replied, "Over there. In the trees." I asked her what other vocabulary words did we learn for me to pretend "needing" and she signed, "Baby?"

I quickly replied, "No thank you," thought for a bit, then jokingly signed, "I need a man."

It took her a couple seconds to understand, but then laughed and quickly signed, "Same, me too." I asked her where I could find one and she raised her eyebrows and pointed to the guys in the class and I said, "No thank you." She nodded in agreement and we spent the rest of the time laughing at our foolishness.

LOL, today was fun. (:

Omg, Club Med is playing "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" <333
