Na na na na na

If I never went online that night and chatted with that girl I would have missed out on knowing C-CLOWN, especially since I am so not keeping up with the Korean music scene anymore.

I really like their latest album, 흔들리고 있어 (Shaking Heart), which is really good in my opinion. All the songs are really good and I am so thankful that their company (whichever company it is that they belong to, LOEN I think) decided to keep them and to give them good songs.

The good thing about this group is that the vocals are all equally good, even though there isn't any that is outstandingly good. The boys also don't have a very tight friendship from what I can observe but they are definitely growing a closer bond with each other as the time progresses. That and their confidence. They definitely have more confidence on stage now compared to last time.

Their title song for this album is really catchy and I like it a lot. I must admit that I was really waiting for their comeback for a long time and I am happy to say that it wasn't in vain. :)

Link to their newest song for this year! :D

I shall go to sleep soon.

In character

I have recently taken up reading again. Like reading novels kind of reading.

The one that I'm on now is called The Absolutist by John Boyne and I picked it up cause I thought it would be a great read since it was based around the WWI timeline and I absolutely love stories based on either of the World Wars.

It turned out to revolve around patriotism and sexuality and in some ways, it reminded me of Brokeback Mountain a lot but the emotions in this story is so raw and real that at some parts I laughed out loud while at another moment I almost cried. I haven't been moved by a book in a long time.

Part of the reason why I kind of avoided reading books (apart from studying and not having any English books around) is because I tend to get too absorbed into the books that I sometimes feel like I inherited some of the characteristics of a particular character, especially if it's the protagonist.

From there, I will not be myself for a couple of days and my personality will tend to shift to a more darker side somehow.

Which is what I'm currently going through now.

I don't want to finish reading the book, in fact, I'm postponing the ending for as long as possible as much as I'd like to turn the pages. I feel like I'm not ready to see what's ahead of me, or what I did in the past.

This week in particular, I felt like I moved about in my own quiet shell, like a true loner. I wonder if the people around me sensed it but regardless of what they saw or felt, I feel quite okay somehow. Somehow.

I'm still living in a sort of coma, if that makes sense.

The activities I go through everyday are different but are all alike at the same time so much that all I need to do is to look up at the sky and wait for the day to disfigure into night and by then I'd know that another day has pass by and here I am, still alive and walking on this Earth, not knowing what's at the next corner.

Life is so unexpected and if those little events never happened, I would have never been here.

I'm just tired.

To be heard out

I spent the last hour listening to my roommate and making small commentary here and there because I knew that she needed to get things off her mind and throughout that time I realised that I'm really looking for someone who is willing to listen to me without me having to worry too much about what they think.

One of my projects got evaluated today and it got an A-B which is actually very good considering the fact that only 2 teams got A and 4 or 5 got A-B. I'd like to think it's partly because of the drawings that I completed that we got such high marks but I wouldn't want to think so all the time.

I really felt pleased with myself because of it though because a lot of people came to look at it and to just contemplate it for a long time, even the guy who I shouldn't have any feelings for.

Honestly, I lack the motivation to do anything much these days. It's really affecting me a lot but I can't say it out all the time because I don't want to bother people with it too much.

I will study a bit tonight and buy some books online.

And I guess that's about it for now. I can't exactly express myself the way and as freely as I wanted to even though I thought I could. I guess feelings aren't really meant to be represented by words but rather through action and emotions, if the emotion bit makes any sense to you.

I do think I'm still stubbornly hanging on a thin string and I hate myself for it. I really need to find a distraction from this, a good one that is.
