The War of Asian Music vs. English Music

this is what companies purchasing sound tracks does to your iPod... it confuses you.
but it's still damn interesting to listen to both songs.
here are a couple of examples pertaining to this situation

Sarah Connor vs. Dong Bang Shin Ki

Sarah Connor - Under My Skin



Dong Bang Shin Ki - Mirotic


so which one do you prefer?
me, i'm a sucker for half-naked asian boys.... oh well
plus the lyrics kill me. always one for the artistry and the aesthetics.
(realize that there is no plagiarism among the differing artists, or else you'd hear it on the news. Realize they aren't affiliated with small, unknown, self-produced labels. Music companies purchase tracks and add lyrics to it. so no one is at fault. except maybe us for being drawn in to their commercialism, but hey that's life!)

I was born in the city, I'll be mourned by the city...

I really do love downtown, 

especially the business core. 

Stoic glass figures rising to the heavens, 

overlooking the ant-like colonies of business men 

from beneath....

Sometimes though, 

I feel so insignificant in a sea of suits, 

surrounded by never-ending 

glass walls.

Once you are a part of it, is there a way out?

Hopefully I can be able to post about a never-ending horizon. I'm craving palm trees, water, and sunrises... uber badly :(

This blog is inspiring me to drop out of school >____<. I love all the letterpress work and it's really making me want to jump straight into the industry and world of lovely paper types, pantone inks, etc instead of going through with the 2 years I have left.
But sadly, I will go through the 2 years... Wait for me!!

Public Washrooms

Right now, as I'm trying to sleep in the living room couch...
which isn't really working, I decided to bring up the topic of public washrooms.
Hate them or Refuse to use them, you need them, admit it, especially during crucial times!

But like the scene with Norah in Nick&Norah's Infinite Playlist, a public washroom stall can offer very interesting reads.


Exhibit 1. The picture above.


Apparently the stall i chose in Union Station's women's washroom was the entrance to downtown Toronto's Chamber of Secrets!

Haven't blogged in a while....

Guess what? Once exams are done... it's straight on boring mk life blogging here on out.
PROMISE!

i'll start with some pre-entries to the straight on blogging since my camera is loaded to it's memory's limit and i have tons of 'blog-like' pictures of random things.
