Le Journale

So here I am again... trying to release what is on my mind lately...(not a music album, if you see what I did there, lol) Yeah, I laugh at my own jokes. So lame. I have never been THIS ALIVE. By saying ALIVE, it means you live this life like other normal persons in the world. Distinguished by ages, genders, and jobs, now I can declare myself I have become one of zombies who get to work by 8 and come home by 5. I used to dream having a job like that, dressing up in formal outfits with cool coworkers in a tall building.... but now I am fed up with it. Have been there, done this and that, so what? I mean, what else is out there? what should I do next in order to be more alive than now? As if I am half-dead now... ............

Wow. It's been 24 days since the last December 2015. I'd done my 2015 Goodreads reading challenge. What a year. I'd successfully read 20 books last year. What an accomplishment. I feel proud because it is not easy to spare some time reading classic works!  I hope some of you feel the same. I never intend to tell it is a hard work.  Just, *speechless* So yeah, in 2016, I challenge myself to read 30 books! *paksu* Wish me LUCK *because I started it with The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins and Night and Day by Virginia Woolf*  I need some lighter books...................................

When life starts getting on your nerves or misplaced expectations get in your way, music has always been an escape... like always. Period. As a not-so-devoted Muslim, I know I should have gone to Him whenever I feel that kind of condition, but I don't want to trouble Him by the burdens He knows exactly I am capable of carrying. But still, I thank him in different way than other devoted Muslim persons. He knows everything, please. So don't judge me who are doing sin differently than you.  So yeah... music it is. And I have been loving this post-rock genre since Codes in the Clouds released their first album, As the Spirit Wanes, which was around 2011. Yup. Music hits me hard at face than you. LOL. So, post-rock is actually a sub genre of rock music, only characterized by rhythms without vocals. And guitars become the facilitators in the timbre and textures parts. So what will you get from this type of genre? Atmospheric. Ambient. Brilliant. Terrific. Music. You can...
