today will be good

ocean drew this really creepy eye, so i added hair and blood to make that. creepy, isn't it? i likey.

4th week is about to end, but somehow it still feels so far away, especially with two midterms next week, and two homework assignments due on the same day as one of the midterms. people who go to gradschool are really masochist. i guess, not knowingly, i am one too. it's unfortunate that i did not realize that beforehand.

BIG BIG THANKS to tsubasa from aku-tenshi, who fed my addiction to rie fu. i accidentally found DECAY and 2CM on youtube when i was procrastinating from doing homework, and immediately fell in love with rie fu's voice. so i spent the entire week browsing the net to find her songs but never succeeded. at the end of the week, i decided to go to kinokuniya to buy her cd because i was apparently completely addicted to her voice by this time. i was broke, and still am, but i needed her songs, so i scraped whatever money i had left and marched into kinokuniya to buy her cd.

turned out they don't have the cd. jerks.

tsuba ended up being the one who supplied me with an entire album's worth of rie fu, PLUS angela aki. i've never heard of angela aki until tsuba told me about her, so i googled her up and i could've sworn it was love at first sight. if she isn't the prettiest woman alive, i don't know who is.







and best of all, she sings one of my favorite songs of all time: KISS FROM A ROSE, originally by SEAL. one of her song "kiss me goodbye," is a soundtrack for final fantasy XII, if i recall correctly. check them out:

Angela Aki - This Love
Angela Aki - Kiss Me GoodBye (English)

and she speaks perfect english too. go to youtube and look up angela aki if you want to see videos of her performing life with a piano.

last but not least, some rie fu songs that have been keeping me sane the past week:

Rie Fu - 2cm
Rie Fu - Decay
Rie Fu - Shine
Rie Fu - Beautiful Words

if you don't like japanese songs, SHINE and BEAUTIFUL WORDS are entirely in english, while 2CM and DECAY are partly english. rie fu sings perfect english, which is not surprising considering that she went to a music school in london... or so i was told. her music is a combination between piano and acoustic guitar, and they blend really well with her voice.

god bless people with beautiful soothing voices. they keep me sane.
