"Dum Spiro Spero" - Leak.

I may have found a great thing to do ;;) Review albums/concerts :D


Right now I wanna review Dum Spiro Spero, but I think I'll postpone it for tomorrow morning so I can give it a listen more attentively.


Meanwhile, here's Ruten no Tou. My new fav song :D


28.07.2011 Morning


Dupa cum deja ma asteptam de altfel, reactia trupei la raspandirea albumului cu o saptamana inaintea lansarii nu a intarziat sa apara.

All I can do is just accept that these are the times we live in and sad things such as this happen as a matter of fact.

However I am comforted that there are so many of you out there who share my feelings.

I am deeply grateful to all of you who are patiently waiting for the album.

Kyo

My thoughts on it:
I understand his feelings, but as he himself said ... things like these happen, so... we can look to the bright side, fans are so eager that they can't wait another week, plus more and more fans emerge. And another thing, I've never seen a stronger fan base than Dir en grey's... seriously. So, everythings cool. I'm pretty sure this album will be a best seller, so to speak, and that all of their concerts will be sold out in minutes.




Pana si eu am ascultat albumul (nu in intregime, doar asa pe sarite). Ce-i drept, il inteleg pe el ca e dezamagit, pentru ca a ales o data pt album si voia ca data aia sa fie respectata de toti. But ... shit happens. N-am banii si mijloacele-s cam limitate sa comand albumul de aici. Dar cand am ocazia sa ma duc la un concert de-al lor , nici nu stau pe ganduri.




Weeeelll, sa-i dam drumul la review:


Primul album pe care l-am ascultat de la Dir a fost "Withering to Death". M-a facut fan imediat. Apoi m-am delectat cu ce era deja, Vulgar, Kisou etc. Mi-au placut.

Ce a urmat apoi a fost "The Marrow of a bone" care nu m-a dat deloc pe spate... Era imediat dupa ce incepusera ei sa aiba concerte in strainatate impreuna cu trupe mai hardcore asa si s-au gandit (probabil) sa adopte un sound my american metal-ish.
Parca era ceva fortat, negandit.


Apoi a aparut Uroboros. Care dicta o schimbare majora. Ei deja se obisnuisera cu noul "teren", "lume" muzicala in care intrasera si deja acum incepeau sa amestece bine noile influente cu ideile lor originale. Cu toate astea, nici Uroboros nu m-a dat pe spate... 


DAR, Dum Spiro Spero... e altceva! E chiar o opera de arta. Serios. Elemente surpriza, disonante, fraze muzicale gandite in profunzime, e ca un roller-coaster muzical! Experimental clar. Sunete nemaiauzite, potrivite intre ele perfect, la momentul perfect.
Dir en grey au evoluat, au trecut la un next level (Uroboros a fost ca o punte intre vechi si nou, ce erau si ce voiau sa devina). Au reusit din plin. Asteptarea de 3 ani a meritat. Un album bine gandit si bine alcatuit.


Song by song review comin' up soon ( as in, when I'll feel like giving the album a full listen) :D


Til next time,
Cheers!

That sums it all up!

Since I can't seem to find the song, the poem to suit my needs, I wrote it myself.


Whatshisname

I wished I could distance myself from everything and everyone. 
No, I wish time stood still while I sort shit out.


I'm not metal enough
I'm not arty enough
I'm not bargainee enough
I'm not classy enough
I'm a bit of everything though


And I sing my love for that guy who was merely just a passerby in my life to anyone who'll listen.
And there's no other way. Denial won't work, so I gotta spit it out.


But when will I run out of "love"? cause thoughts and words keep comin'


I think too much.


"Friends" keep feeding my addiction/affliction
Cause I like Whatshisname, still.

Keeps gettin' better *smirks*

So, iata diferenta dintre mine si el. Amandoi ne aflam in aceeasi situatie eu acum, el anul trecut pe vremea asta. Dar uite cum gestionez eu lucrurile, spre deosebire de el.


El e un pesimist care se afunda tot mai mult in ganduri grele si gri.


Eu... well, postarea asta cuprinde exact cum vad eu lucrurile:

Success and failure can make you dance to their tunes if they wish to. How you combat it is up to you… So reach for the stars because even if you do fail, you will land on the moon.

Reach for the stars, even if you fail, you’ll land on the moon. There’s nothing special about that phrase. Some might have heard it before and others would say it’s a bit clichéd. But when you are 14 and uninspired in a maths lesson, a tiny A5 sized poster on the wall is enough to get you to give up the slouch, sit up straight and probably concentrate a bit more on what the teacher is saying.

I read that message on an A5 sized poster in my maths lesson when I was 14. 3 years on, and now, my subject choices couldn’t be any less related to maths. It’s amazing how when you are 14  and you think you know everything (or maybe you don’t) but suddenly one message on a piece of paper is enough to get you thinking in a more mature way. Despite what other people might say, I’ve always lived by the message: Reach for the stars, even if you fail, you’ll land on the moon. Today, if there’s something that has made me the person I am, it’s that single message.

Success is a fickle friend. Aim for it with one solitary arrow, and it will try to dodge you constantly. Aim for it with multiple consecutive arrows, mark my words, it will stay fixed where you want it to stay. I’m not a successful person. Of all of the things I’ve done till now, that success is measured only according to me. But it’s my belief that all of these little successes that I’ve had all my little life, will probably group together to make a bigger impact and maybe then I will really reach the stars.

A lot of people get bogged down by failure. A fairly successful person will feel that failure is a measure of how badly they’ve done. A very successful person will realise that failure is actually a reality check telling them where they’ve gone wrong. How you look at success is up to you but the difference between some people and the others is that some people look at failure as a cul de sac. The others look at failure as a cul de sac with tiny hole in the corner, through which they can squeeze themselves even if it means they have to force themselves through it several times.

My message for all of you is if you find that at some point in life, things aren’t going well for you, keep telling yourself that it will be okay because it is that thought that will actually make stuff better. If you are weighed down with failure, keep trying because maybe the success you gain from trying won’t be astronomical, but hey, it will be some success at least!

I leave you with this little anecdote that should get you thinking. Thomas A. Edison, inventor of the light bulb was experimenting with filaments for the light bulb to find the perfect one. After many tries a helper at his laboratory asked him to give up with the filaments because they had tried nearly 10,000 and they had failed. Edison replied : “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”

Life coach also gives advice for those person who failed. According to Wikipedia, “Failure refers to the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success.” We often experience failures in school, work and even at home. Failure teaches us things we can’t learn from any other way. Failure delivers unpleasant news, but should not be allowed to take up a permanent residence in our hearts.  It is easy to give up your dreams and goals in life when you face failure. Failure leads to lack of motivation and disappointment.  You sometimes wish to be somewhere else or someone else except where you are and who you are. However, you already knew that failure is just a stepping stone of success. If you fail a couple of times that doesn’t mean that you’re going to fail forever.  

Did you know that Thomas Edison was trying to invent the electrical bulb and failed more than a thousand times, but did he give up? If he did give up then were still eating dinners in the dark with a gas lamp or a candle. But he did not give up, in fact he didn’t fail, he discovered 1,000 ways how not to make a light bulb and only 1 way to make it work. This is an example of how to look at our failures, use the failed attempts to learn something like what does work and what does not in making your dreams a reality.

You need a big heart and a lot of courage and creativity in order to face your failures. So here are some words of wisdom in facing your failures to help you motivate and keep on trying in order to reach your goals.

Success only comes after sacrifice and constant pursuance or consistency. You need to work until we achieve success and never compare ourselves with others; we should compare ourselves with our previous performance.

You are a failure only when you quit. When people fail, most get disheartened and they start looking themselves as failures, not realizing that failing does not equal to failure.

Accept failure. By accepting failure we could go on and try again, maybe it will be better next time.

Be patient. It takes time to reach goals and dreams therefore, we need to be patient because we don’t expect miracles overnight.

Learn from your mistakes. We can learn from our failures and our mistakes, they are our greatest mentors, they taught us what we need not to do so it won’t happen again and change for the better.

Be flexible and learn to adapt the changes. When you fail, you don’t have to do the exact things you have done before failing, learn to adapt new things and changes that can give you different results.

Stop negative thinking. We do this quite often when we fail, if we think negatively it will pull us down. So you need to compose yourself and tell yourself that enough thinking about the negatives.

Have the courage to laugh at your own mistakes. Smiling after you fail will lessen the sadness and depression of getting a negative feedback. You need to have the courage to stand and become better next time.

Truth is, I'm still working on acquiring these notions.  But at least I'm doing something to lift myself up from the misery pool, instead of digging my own grave.


"Da,dar tu faci ceva."
"E un inceput."


His words to me.


Si inca:

Failure is not the end of a journey, as it only tests in life. Success is always available for one who thinks that life is a test.

Failure …. a word that we do not want to experience it, but it often comes close. A word that does not want us to meet, but often times we face.

Different faces of failure appeared. Targets are not met, the desire is not fulfilled, or never answered a prayer. Viewed from the perspective of the facts, the failure was bitter and even painful.

How much energy was released, the time has terkorbankan, all of which collapsed, but no positive results. All is definitely not something that can be perceived as a success that can be deferred where a smile when seeing his appearance.

The word “Success and Failure” is like a desperate man foods.Words that trigger the maxim “has a lot of salt” is a reference for those who had experienced through his life. Failure is a process many times to keberjayaan.

In life, many people who fail because they do not realize how close to success when they gave up. (Thomas A. Edison)

Thomas Edison is known from the first failure despite its success in making a lamp. People who succeed are those who want to change because people who succeed are willing to sacrifice body and soul to find a thousand ways to not fail.

Failure can not be repeated for the umpteenth time. They have a persistent determination to achieve what they wanted. As the proverb says that rafting rakitlah upstream, swim and then a mean sick sick first, then have fun. That maxim is best suited for the term Failure and Success.

“Do it repeatly.

The most important things is the road to success. Never stop on the failure to-1000 time, because the to-1001 time is the possibility of your success. If you quit, then you will regret it forever.

That’s called focusing on dreams, life goals or your dreams sendiri.Dan not underestimate your one or two steps, because without one or two steps, would not you have a thousand steps.

Grateful for what you have, because life is a beautiful gift from God.You must be sure that whatever is given by God. we are the best in all of us.

You will never realize that that was hairy caterpillar, now a beautiful butterfly butterflies flying here there. You also never realized that the cactus and thorny rose bushes are now beginning to expand its interest. Beautiful flowers on which rests a beautiful butterfly. That is the meaning of a failure and success.

Rest assured that trouble will pass, that hard times would not be in vain if we are going through the mental strength and strong hearts.In fact, we will be those who are mature and wise beyond our age.We just have to deal with strong and steady heart.

What’s the first we ever envisioned ambition in life, rest assured that one day we can reach it. Trust in the ability of ourselves. We just need to be patient underwent to arrive at our destination.

But believe me, if today we can not reach, and convince ourselves that we can grab it tomorrow. If you can not be achieved tomorrow, do not be pessimistic, as long as we live, it is our desire for a guard and defend, God willing, someday, we will also perform at the peak of glory as we had previously envisioned.

“During the ambition and strong desire to achieve your still awake, confident and believe that someday the goal will be within your grasp.”

And this song \:D/

Dum, dum, dum

Heh, ce chestie, toti colegii de clasa/liceu din promotia mea sunt fericiti ca au intrat la facultate.


Altii isi plang de mila si/sau isi baga unghia in gat ca n-au luat bacul si ca nu au putut sa se inscrie acum la facultate.


Eu am luat bacul si stau pe bara. Ce-i drept am planurile mele, diferite de ale celorlalti. Or fi cativa care au planuri asemanatoare cu mine si as vrea sa-i cunosc.


Sper sa mearga bine, deocamdata eu m-am inscris la scoala de soferi si trebuie sa studez intens. Agaaaain... 8-|


Prajitura cu visine si pisicute miiiiici si puf (Whiskers si inca unul pe care nu l-am numit inca :D)

Noul single al lui MAA "OKay" a aparut azi <3 

Pe Metalhead au postat un articol care continea scrisoarea unui tanar crestin ortodox adresata unui metalist.

Si spunea tanarul ortodox despre muzica rock/metal ca slujeste pe satana si ca ii face pe cei ce o asculta sa-si piarda speranta, sa devina violenti etc. 

Mai jos, metalistii isi dau cu parerea; logic, ce ar putea ei spune? Ca sunt bucurosi ca nu-si crestini, ca e o aberatie ce spune crestinul ala acolo, cate si mai cate. (exista si cateva exceptii totusi)

Si eu ascult metal, ce-i drept nu foarte dark, n-ascult black sau death, dar in acelasi timp cred in Dumnezeu, sunt convinsa ca el exista si ma rog in fiecare seara. E un paradox? Nu-s deloc lipsita de speranta (poate pentru ca ascult si altceva in afara de metal si poate pentru ca-l tin ep Doamne Doamne aproape) si nici violenta sau cu ganduri negre. Cum am mai spus, poate pentru ca am un echilibru.

Ce vreau sa spun defapt e ca nu-s de acord cu comentariile metalistilor. Exista adevar in scrisoarea tanarului crestin si in locul ateilor as prefera totusi sa nu blasfemiez pentru ca de-a lungul istoriei ne-au fost date destule exemple, miracole, intamplari care ne arata ca Dumnezeu si Diavolul exista si razboiul dintre ei e din ce in ce mai crancen si mai evident. As prefera sa ma abtin de la a-l ataca pe Dumnezeu in vreun fel. Nimeni nu s-a intors din mormant asa ca nu stim ce-i dincolo. Cert e ca moartea nu e sfarsitul, ci doar trecerea la next level, ca sa zic asa.

So, mai usor cu atacurile la adresa divinitatii. Nu stii cand te trazneste de nici diavolul nu te mai poate scapa. 


Mda, in afara de asta, love is in the air :D my best friends are in love si ma bucur mult pt ele :D


Si melodia asta e asa cute <3



Si dupa ce ma uit la ceilalti, ma uit la mine. I take a look inside my own soul. There's something missing for sure. Printre altele, presupun ca lipseste si partea aia, the one who's gonna complete me. Not sure where I'm gonna find him since I feel like changing my surroundings de cateva ori bune in viata asta. I want excitement, harmony, fun, mutual respect, commitment, appreciation. Dar asta deja e departe in timp. 


Trebuie ceva "acum", ceva perfectly imperfect.Dar, te rog, Doamne, ceva mai bun decat data trecuta. Nu stiu care a fost de vina, e mai sigur sa spun ca amandoi, dar Te roooog iarta-ma si adu-mi ceva mai uman decat fiinta aia atat de oarba si de inchisa in lumea ei. 


[Foster the People - Pumped up kicks]

Altceva ... astept si albumul Dum Spiro Spero pe 3 August. Pe 12 sau 13 Decembrie Dir en grey isi fac din nou aparitia in New York. Nu cred c-o sa pot ajunge ... Logic as vrea sa-l vad pe Toto cat mai des posibil, dar nu in calitate de fan. De-as ajunge un dj la un radio bun, sau prezentator tv, sau reporter, sau macar mare organizatoare de festivaluri! <3 ( sau singer-songwriter si el sa-mi fie fan :-" )


[Foster the People - Miss You]


[Koda Kumi - Koi no Mahou]

[MAA - Come Again]


Asta asa ca preview la playlistul meu zilele astea :D


Bah, tunaaaaa, vine ploaia, in sfarsit, doar e Sfantul Ilie azi :D [ Ora 19:00]


Sagetatorii astia care se depreseaza de la ploaie. 


Bine bou ca acum iti place. You deserved bitch slaps not kisses, but who knew? There won't be a next time anyway \:D/

Dar lasand chestiile astea enervante la o parte, lets just enjoy the pretty weather <3


Til next time,
Cheers!

5 iulie.

M-am gandit sa inaugurez noul blog astazi, pentru ca e 5.


Da, am luat bacul! :D


Romana 8,90
Matematica 6
Geografie 9,30
Media : 8,06


E bine, am scapaaat!


A fost mega prapad in tara. Doar 45% au promovat. Cel mai dezastruos rezultat din ultimii 21 de ani.


Well...inca ma gandesc, sa tin doua bloguri sau nu? La care sa renunt? Astae plin de toate. E din 2009. Aproape 3 ani cuprinsi in el.


Dupa cum ii spune si numele celuilalt blog, va fi despre calatorii. Locuri unde am fost si unde vrea sa merg. Si probabil voi organiza un vision board acolo! :D


Ma inscriu la scoala de soferi b-)


Til next time,
Cheers!

Done.

July 1st


Ultima proba la bac : data.


Am multe de zis, multe idei in minte pe care trebuie sa le ordonez cronologic. Multe chestii despre bac, despre liceu in general, despre experienta acumulata in ultimii 4 ani.


Abia acum mi-am gasit carnetelul pentru "autografe" pe care-l cumparasem special (din NY, ca la noi nu exista asa ceva) pentru absolvire, sa se semneze profii importanti si colegii.  Kinda late, sper sa smulg niste semnaturi duminica asta.


E kinda unbelievable acuma, nu mai sunt liceana, am trecut la next level so to speak (defapt, next level e la facultate, dar eu am gap year). Ma simt usor contrariata pentru ca incet, incet ma desprind de copilarie fie ca vreau fie ca nu. Sunt vizibil inca atasata de copilarie si prefer inocenta, puritatea, desi incep sa fiu ca o nuca in perete in societatea de azi in care majoritatea tinerilor se "maturizeaza" mai devreme. Care-i anormal, eu sau ei? Doar pentru ca-s multi, n-ar trebui sa devina normal. Tru ca pe vremea lu' mamaie la 19 ani femeile erau maritate si cu copii. Erau "femei" la 19 ani. Eu ma simt un copil.


O sa-i gasesc explicatia someday.


Libertate absoluta. Vara asta se rezuma la un singur cuvant : party. 12 ani de zile mi-am luat meseria de elev foarte in serios, acum eu zic ca merit concediu.


Stiind ca de acum sunt libera ( no school) m-a ajutat sa fiu calma la examene. Atata detasare n-a mai fost pe capul meu vreodata. N-am avut NICIO emotie. Nimic. Am intrat acolo, am dat tot ce-am putut si ce a iesit vedem duminica. 
Inca un lucru care m-a ajutat a fost faptul ca parintii mei erau oke cu gandul ca as putea sa pic la mate si ca nu se intampla nimic daca mai dau o data in august. Asta e viata. Desigur, pentru onoarea mea, am muncit cat de mult am putut ca sa iau din prima.


De acum incepe viata. Urmeaza o vara in care vreau sa pun in aplicarea tot ce am invatat in teorie. Ma mut in Norvegia, o sa invat multe si acolo. Parca sunt intr-o aventura in cautarea unei comori. Deocamdata am aflat the next step si ma indrept catre Norvegia unde voi descifra alt indiciu care ma va duce la next level. Era o emisiune cand eram mica, niste francezi cautau niste chei ( erau ca intr-un castel/fortareata etc), contratimp, cautau indicii si trebuiau sa castige primii.


Mi-am gasit jurnalul in care am inceput sa scriu cand aveam 9 ani, defapt intre anii 2001-2003. Nu m-am schimbat prea mult. Am evoluat, dar esenta, ca sa zic asa, e aceeasi. Tot cu notatul detaliile experientelor traite, cu adunatul amintirilor, cu descrierea calatoriilor. Cu compusul de versuri... :))


Cele trei mari influente din copilarie care se regasesc astazi permanent in mintea si actiunile mele: chitara, petrecerile si calatoriile.


De aici am elaborat o teorie ca inca din copilarie, oamenii sunt influentati de anumite lucruri si chestiile astea le vor marca fiinta for life. 


Vreau sa gasesc un cufar in care sa adun toate lucrurile, materialele din liceu. Uniforma,diplomele, caietele, cartile, alte suveniruri de la colegi, chiar si subiectele la bac. Totul.


E super marfa sa gasesti dupa ani de zile gandurile tale scrise cu mult timp in urma :D Intotdeauna mi-a placut asta. Cumva am reusit sa-mi formez o gandire pozitiva, care selectioneaza atent informatiile utile. Am reusit sa-mi aleg bine persoanele ce ma inconjoara ( pentru ca pana la urma e adevarata expresia " Spune-mi cu cine te insotesti, ca sa-ti spun cine esti."). 


Things are falling into the right place and it keeps gettin' better. Gandesc foarte pozitiv si sper sa raman asa mereu, indiferent de situatiile prin care voi trece. Sa ma mentin puternica si sa trec peste orice obstacol. No matter what, I want to keep evolving, becoming better and better everyday. The best version of myself possible. And I've got a great inspiration when it comes to that.


Regarding that .. I mentioned some time ago that for now, it's dear to me and it's like my "mental/imaginary hideout", but not for long. Someday it (the real thing) will belong to someone else. ( maybe it already does, but I don't know yet). Must make a vision board. (Found out about it first in The Secret, it worked for Katty Perry, it's gonna work for me too).


About the other blog, it's gonna be released this Sunday. 


La 3-4 ani am spus ca voi ajunge o persoana mare, de succes. N-o sa dezamagesc copilul de mine de atunci. 


Tinandu-ma de mana cu inchipuirea asta a mea, me feels stronger. The scenery in which I've placed us warmes me up inside. If in reality it will crumble, it will be intact in my mind and I'll rebuild it.


July 2nd




Moreover, I've decided to charge money for my interpretership. Since I've finished highschool, now I need dough, I have to start making money and I'll use English (for now, I'll add German and French later, plus diplomatic skills and many other plans I have. Thanks Robert Kiyosaki!) to get it.


Maine rezultate.


Am gasit link-ul unde se afiseaza: clicky here


Maine, dupa ce aflam cum sta treaba, o sa merg cu colegele, luam sampanie, pahare de unica folosinta si mergem sa sarbatorim in parc! \:D/


Pe 13 august urmeaza concertul Deftones 8->


A aparut preview-ul pentru Dum Spiro Spero (cât timp mai respir înseamnă că sper).


Ruten no Tou <3

Pana data viitoare,

Edit: This song got me!
