All by myself.

Right this moment, I'm currently sitting in the living room all by myself listening to THE greatest artist in the world, can you guess who? Dallas Green. In case you don't know him, I'll write a little biography about this talented young man. Dallas Green was born September 29, 1980. A Juno-Award winning singer-songwriter and musician, known for his work as guitarist and singer for the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire and his folk side project, City and Colour. Before joining Alexisonfire, Green was in a band called Helicon Blue, producing several songs before breaking up. The three piece band also featured Marce Lanteigne on bass and vocal, and Nicholas Osczypko on drums. The band recorded a self-titled release with Greg Below from Distort Entertainment, who also recorded a second record with the band which included; My Last Breath, Sunder, Greater Victory & Perpetual Healing.

Dallas began playing with Alexisonfire in late 2001. Since then, they have released three albums (Alexisonfire, Watch Out!, and Crisis), and several EPs. His melodic and piercing vocal range often brings a large presence in most of the band's songs.

In 2003 he appeared (along with George Petit) on Jude the Obscure's album "The Coldest Winter", doing additional vocals on 3 songs.

One of the first appearances of Green outside of Alexisonfire is on Neverending White Lights' collaborative album Act 1: Goodbye Friends of the Heavenly Bodies, released in 2005. He contributed vocals to the song "The Grace". Green provided additional vocals on the track "INRihab" with Every Time I Die as well as on the track "Black Albino Bones" with Fucked Up on their second full length album, The Chemistry of Common Life.

City and Colour's first music video, "Save Your Scissors", from the now gold-rated album Sometimes, was released on January 17, 2006, featuring some of his best friends, band mates and favourite places in his hometown, St. Catharines, Ontario. The second video, "Comin' Home", went number one on MuchMoreMusic's video countdown.

City and Colour also released a live CD/DVD entitled Live on March 6, 2007 which includes two different live performances and a special performance with Ron Sexsmith. A limited edition has also been released at the same time. It included a USB key with footage from MMVA and Much on Demand performances[3].

On February 12, 2008, Green released a new full-length studio album entitled Bring Me Your Love under the moniker City and Colour. It was published under the label of Dine Alone Records. The music video for the first single, "Waiting...", was released on January 24, 2008. On June 6, 2008, "Sleeping Sickness", the second single for the album, was issued and on June 27, a music video was made by Montreal-based director Vincent Morisset. This second single also features The Tragically Hip's Gordon Downie's vocals in the second verse.

Bravo! aired an hour-long City & Colour performance for their Live at the Concert Hall... series on August 26, 2008. The performance included interviews, several songs from his latest album, Bring Me Your Love, and also a few songs from his debut, Sometimes, where he included his backing band into the songs.

In case you did not notice, I did not write this. I stole it from Wikipedia, hehe. I wouldn't know all these little facts about himself. When I read this, I was stunned that he's a skateboarder and has been since the age of 8. He's one amazing guy, if you ask me. Whenever I'm feelin' blue, I know for a fact that I can ALWAYS listen to him. Cuhz, he's so soothing whenever you listen to him, he sooths my anger,sadness away whenever I hear his music.

Anyways, sorry that I haven't been blogging. I have been busy doing other things such as homework, school, and all. I truly apologize for all that. I know how you really enjoy it whenever I blog. During the mornings, whenever I get ready for school I always have to have my chapstick but when I found out earlier this morning, I'm running out of my SOFT LIPS! So, the whole day I basically just licked my lips cuhz I'm runnin' out, it's the greatest chapstick that man ever created in this world, forget the ipods, cellphones, and all. My lips feels so naked without Soft Lips, I always got to have that. I just checked my pockets and I think I have lost it! :[ I'm so devastated, I just lost my life. I think I'm going to cower over to my corner and cry until I get a new chapstick. Night.

Next Destination.

Tomorrow, the whole Marine Biology class is going to Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. Finally, a break from school I don't have to worry about going to class and doing all that jazz at school, I get to skip that jazz. Anyways, the class is also going to the beach and the weather is perfect tomorrow, ah I'm utterly excited even though, I'm going to miss out during Nutrition and Lunch time tomorrow. I have no idea who I'm going to hang out with during the field trip, hopefully I'll find someone and not be a little loner. I have nothing else to write about so, I might 'zog blog' tomorrow or something.

Current book: The Catcher In The Rye.


Oh maaaan, it's been a few days since I've blog. I can't blog without ANY pictures at all, so I decided that I should put The Catcher In The Rye image right next to this blog. So far in the book, I'm reading the part where Holden is talking to Mr. Spencer and he's lecturing him. Ah, it's pretty interesting so far; it's actually catching my attention.(: the reviews from the people I talk to and read this book says it's a really good book, and I can't blame them. In case you guys haven't read or heard about it, you best to check it out and read it cuhz, it's pretty amazing if you ask me. But, you don't have to take my word for it.(; -Reading Rainbow guy.

Anyways, I apologize for not blogging as much. I haven't been feeling good since Sunday night, I'm pretty much sick. How? I have no clue how I received this illness, I'm trying my best to get over it and feel better. I couldn't blog last night because, I had tons of homework to do and I didn't sleep until 12:3O. Tonight, I'm going to sleep early around 1O:3O or something like that; I need so much rest right now, 'cause recently, I haven't been getting that much sleep and by the time I get to school, I'm SUPER exhausted. I can't believe that there's 1O weeks of school left, thank the lord. I'm sick and tired of waking up at around 6 o'clock in the morning just to get dressed. I'm sure that the next two months, it'll come by quick. Ah, it feels like I just started my Junior year yesterday being a newb and everything, I remember asking Twinkie where my 2nd period class was and asking where my classes were. I've met the most amazing friends this year and I hope to meet more in my Senior year. I just want to get the school year over and have a break, I'm fed up with Spanish and the teacher picking on me, one day you old trick, you're going to pay for being so mean to your students.

My day started out alright, waking up at 5 and feeling tired, what a great feeling. Got to Fairfax & 3rd and went to CVS to buy Tropicana orange juice which lasted me until 5th period. When Johannes & I arrived to school, I had to go to my locker to put my stuff in cuhz, my bag was heavy. Aight, here's the breakdown on my whole day:

Per. 1- Sculpture: I actually did some work in that class today, cuhz yesterday I didn't do anything since I wasn't feeling it. I asked the teacher to help me cut the clay and make it look perfect. It took me at least 2Ox to finally perfect it.
Per. 2- U.S. History: Learned some more stuff about Sweatshops and Wall-Mart, watched a clip of Wall-Mart and whatnot. Pretty interesting stuff.
Nutrition: Ate.
Per. 3- English: Silva told me to write on the board and whatnot, then the whole class had to go to the library for the class schedule for next year, I didn't have to worry about mine since Mr. Furlong already took care of mine, so the entire time I chilled with Silva.
Per. 4- Spanish 3: All she did was lecture about stupid things, ticked me off.
Lunch: Chill, I didn't eat lunch cuhz I had to rush with my project for Marine Bio.
Per. 5- Marine Bio: Helped someone with their shrimp and turned in my project on time. :]
Per. 6- Geometry: Asked teacher to sign my permission slip and did work.

After school? Naw, don't even want to discuss what happened. Anyways, I have nothing else to discuss to you about because, I have to continue reading on the book.


I have a new music video for you guys, you need to check him out.

The father, son, & the Holy Spirit. Good Friday.


I was awoken by my RANTING Mother, forcing me to get water since we ran out. I lazily got up and went out to get water with just my shorts and long sleeves, I'm pretty sure I was being checked out while I was walking to the water place, I brought along Syrah so I wouldn't be alone. While we were at the water place, I was constantly bugging Sy, cuhz she wore a ripped pajamas right on her crotchh, hilarious. I kept telling her that I would tell the people around us that she had a ripped pants. On the way back from the water place, Mumz informed me that we had to go to church since it was GOOD FRIDAY , and if you're Catholic, I'm SURE that your parents aren't letting you go out cuhz of it. Anyways, I decided to take a shower around 11, mother forced me to get ready by 12 and so I did. On our way to church, we met up with Johannes and my Mumz had the balls to ask me if I was going out with Johannes, haha. We arrived in the middle of the Stationary of the cross, after that ended, I finally got to see&meet Baby Adrian, Nayeli's son! He was THE CUTEST BABY BOY that I have ever met in my life; love at first sight, I KID YOU NOT. After that, a mass started and stayed in church for ANOTHER hour, after church ended, my Mumz wanted another round of Stationary of the cross. Went home and made Misua with sardines.(:



As I promised, I said that I would post some pictures of my adventure yesterday. I'll post pictures that were taken beautifully. I mean, the pictures we took yesterday were astonishing! If anyone wants to see more pictures, just go to my Facebook and check 'em out there, thanks guys! I asked Johannes if he's going to start taking the camera wherever he goes and he said he'll be starting to. Oh, during church we were taking pictures too. We're like, photographers. But, I want to thank Johannes for bringing his camera and going with us to DTown.(: I won't be writing that much today since, I blogged yesterday. Have a GREAT FRIDAY and be careful. So, here are some of the pictures, my lovelies. "Fro-yo...in Little Tokyo" - Erich Tamola. In case, you guys don't know what that means, FROZEN YOGURT. I thank Johannes for buying us Yogurtland yesterday.(:

A Day Out.


Oh, for those who love me, will you PLEASE get me this DSLR?! :] So, I woke up with a sore throat, I think I'm starting to get sick, cuhz usually that's how I start when I'm sick, oh phooey. "/ Today, I did something productive. Finally. So, I woke up around 1O? Yeah, I think so. Erich and I didn't start dressing up until 12, haha. Johannes arrived at our place around 1 or something, right after he arrived we left the house and headed to the subway to take the train to Downtown. It was pretty chill, walked around and took a buttload of awesome pictures. I'll put some pictures up after Johannes uploads 'em, aight? So, sit tight and don't get too excited to check out the pictures.(: Ah, so much walking that I did today, which is good cuhz, I did my exercising for the day. Walking up the hill and whatnot, yadadamean? Aiiiight! :D Anyways, after all that adventure we headed home and started grubbin'. And watched 27 Dresses for the tenth thousand time this past two days, haha.


Dear James Marsden,

You look absolutely handsome in this picture, serious. It is VERY captivating. Please marry me one day and I will make your dreams come true. Imagine you with your gorgeous-self with a little Asian/Filipina girl, oh man! Every time I see your face, it makes me love you more and more. Ever since I saw you from Enchanted, I knew you were the only one for me. I love you. I love every little thing about you. I love your cute smile, your magical eyes, and the sound of your voice. I love your gentle touch, and I love the warmth I feel when I’m by your side. I can't stop thinking about you when we are apart. I need you by my side. You complete me. You mean the world to me. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are the one I've always wished for. I never thought that I would ever meet someone as special as you. I love each and every moment I share with you.

This song is for you, booface.

Cooking Mama obsession, WHAT?!

Alright, for the past two weeks I've had Johannes' DS and take a guess on what game I'm hooked on to. Just take a guess, you're right Cooking Mama. I don't know why I'm in love with this game, it's so addicting. Recently, I've been working my ass off to get Gold medals to show Jay that I'm fit to be a Cooking Mama(which I totally am and you know I am Johannes). Jay, I don't think you'll be getting your DS in awhile, I'll be kepping it hostage just so you know. Until then, you have to get me Gardening Mama. As for now, I'll continue playing Cooking Mama.(: This blog goes to you, MK.I have spent this whole day staying at home and have done nothing, 'cept watch 27 Dresses and Pride&Prejudice. I know, I need a life and I need to get out of this house of mine. But, where am I suppose to go? What am I suppose to do by myself? Eh, perhaps walk around the neighborhood, I just need some fresh air or something. I remember when I arrived here in LA, Erich and I were homesick; we use to stay outside our place and just look at cars and look at the beautiful view of Kingsley street. Those were the days during the beginning of summer. Hanging around the steps isn't that bad actually, just chillin' and talkin' (that's if someone is keeping you company, that is.) I need to spend time outside and start taking pictures of random things, if I only had a camera. "/ Anyways, I need to start getting ready for bed and stop "over-blogging."(: Goodnightskeez.

Newb?

So, I've decided to make myself a blogspot at 1 in the morning, I have no clue why but, I made it. I'm getting the hang of it, it's kind of like Xanga, remember when we all at one point had one? Haha. Good times, good times.(:

Spring break is going swell, the weather is all weird. Recently, I've been watching 27 Dresses, which is one of the cutest movies ever.(: I find Katherine Heigl(spelling?) utterly gorgeous and funny, Erich likes that movie too which by the way, surprises me, haha. I mean you can't really blame him, it's one funny movie and very entertaining.
I'm glad that I got to barrow it from my cousin who lives upstairs, she invited Sy and I over to her place to have some cupcakes, which by the way, is bomb.

Anywho, I don't know what else to blog about. I think, I'll be heading to bed now. My little body can't stay up that late. I'll continue later today or something. Alright, so it's a Wednesday afternoon and I haven't done anything productive and I don't plan to either, except for later tonight because of choir practice. If I don't have any plans I spend my day using the internet, watch tv, or just plain sleeping. But, recently I've been out and I think my Mumz is getting fed up 'cause, I've been out too much. x]

Yesterday, was SUCH a beautiful day! Johannes and I decided to take pictures of random things. We walked from my house to Lollicup, Wilshire&Western, to my old apartment to Van Ness park and just chilled there for awhile. On the way walking back home I took this one gorgeous picture of this red flower, I'm really in love with so I decided to put it as my background on Myspace. In my opinion, I think blogging is making me better on writing like, writing essays and whatnot.(:
