Paolo Nutini FTW!

Is it me or are almost all of my favorite Indie bands are following me lately?

I love that I love indie. The mainstream ones have too much exposure anyway (i still love the mainstreams, you know who you are *wink). So if the Indies get the exposure then they'll be mainstream indies. Noooooo! :D

First there was diane birch.
and now @PaoloNutini jumps in my band wagon!

Proof.

However much you want me, I swear I'll make you want me more - "Alloway Groove" by Paolo Nutini.

The Scottish have the most luring accents. I went to church one Sunday and a Scottish priest was conducting the mass. I was closing my eyes and listening intently to his accent and silently mimicking it. Hoping that nobody noticed, I enjoyed his R's, O's and L's. You know how Scotts always does it. Top of da morning to ya! and the like..haha

It was a joy to have heard him. I know where to go next time to hear mass.

Diane Birch FTW!

My twitter gets way more action than my facebook. So as a good solid music lover, my twitter friends have suggested that I should listen to Diane Birch.

08. Don't Wait Up

09. Mirror Mirror

10. Ariel

11. Choo Choo

12. Forgiveness

13. Magic View 

Diane Birche's Bible Belt delivers a wave of good mood and her solid beautiful voice encompasses the whole package. I am so impressed with her musical style. I can't even classify which genre her music belongs to. :D
'Valentino' keeps my smile going from ear to ear. Okay so there might be a hint of sadness in some tracks but that's what music is all about, emotions. 'Fire Escape' gives me the chills. Her lyrics are very well-structured and strikes straight to the heart. It would be selfish of me as a fan if her music isn't recognized.  I don't want her to go mainstream but then again her talent has to be known. 

Favorite: to pick only one favorite is an insult to her whole album.

My friends don't know who she is nor have they heard her music. I was so ecstatic when I followed her on twitter and she followed back. She keeps it down to earth with her fans. Nice!

Diane Birch is definitely a diamond in the rough.

duty mode + updates

So summer duty has begun for me.
Updates:

It's already day 2 and it's been a whirlwind. And i think I might have had something to do with my patient vomiting minutes after I gave him his NGT feeding. I know I reviewed the basics, check tube placement, elevate head of bed and slowly introduce the feeding. My only concerns are: it must have been the new anitbiotic drug that we included in the feeding that caused it, or his extreme coughing. I really want my client to recover, but getting to an accident with an electrocuted live wire isn't that easy. He's lucky to have a dad like he has. His father is ever so there for him. I pray for him to get well.

I've seen pictures of other people having a ball on their summer. How bout me? Am i doomed to be warped in this virtual hooplah? I want to get out there but sadly no invitations have come up for me yet. My family has wanted to go to Boracay but seriously, us? traveling? It's been about 10 years since we've even travelled as a family. But no worries, that day will come. I know it will.

Are my friends and I growing apart? I meant specifically between cole, madz and me. Maybe, I'm thinking way too hard. Or i'm over analyzing this way too weirdly. Silent awkwardness here they come... or so i think. ahaha

im considering whether to twitter or not?
