rockin' the 90s way.

it's saturday!
people who love to go out, drink, go to parties and stay up all night on a weekend are probably making the most out of the night as of this moment. me, on the other hand, is chillin' here in my room as always. i don't know but for some reason, i was and probably will never be a party-goer or a drinker. i'd rather stay in than stay out.

despite being indoors, i could say i'm having a cool saturday night tonite. why? because i am listening to no other than the best rock songs of the '90s!

i totally love the '90s! if i could turn back time, i would definitely choose that time. for me it was a decade of mind-blowing, head-banging, music! i turned 24 last june and was born on 1988 so if you do the math, i was just in my elementary years at that time but i practically grew up listening to all those cool songs. even now, i still listen to them when i can, just like now. :)

rock/alternative type of music was dominant during that time. it has this right blend of all the music instruments used that are pleasing to the ears. noisy but a feel good noise. the type that will make you bang your head while doing the rock and roll sign with your hands. a whole bunch of rock bands rocking you out!

here are some of them:

two princes by spin doctors

high and dry by radiohead

no rain by blind melon

the freshmen by the verve pipe

soul to squeeze by red hot chili peppers

other songs from the album that i listened to while making this post. i'll just mention some for they are way too many:

u2- one

nirvana- all apologies

nirvana- lithium

lit- miserable

nirvana- smells like teen spirit

radiohead- creep

metallica- nothing else matters

third eye blind- semi-charmed life

r.e.m.- everybody hurts

soul asylum- runaway train

collective soul- shine

the offspring- self esteem

nirvana- come as you are

collective soul- december

green day- good riddance

lit- my own worst enemy

goo goo dolls- iris

matchbox20- bent

gin blossoms- hey jealousy

now tell me, who would ever forget those rockin' legends? i believe some of the songs are still being played on the radio and some of the bands are still active in the music industry. that's a good thing for they are way too amazing and too cool to forget!

thank you 90s! :)

it's not you, it's me.

ever had a fight or a conflict with someone where you feel you're right and the other person was wrong? you keep asking yourself 'why can't this person get my point?'.

if you ask me, i've been in that situation many times already. it's maddening to know if someone doesn't get what you're trying to point out. makes you think how dumb of the that person to not know or not get.

all of us want to be right, right? but the thing there is, who are we to judge who's right and who's wrong?

a dramatic and painful situation made me realize something. that maybe, it's not them, it's us.

i read a line somewhere that says, "if you don't look forward to your mondays, change your work. if your weekends are boring you, change your friends." but i say "how about you change your self?" boils down to one word. attitude.

now going back to the question, 'why can't this person get my point?' before asking that, maybe we need to ask first, 'am i making sense?', 'did i make it clear enough for the other person to understand?'. once we have covered what we can answer, then and only then we can go find the answer from another person.

people doesn't stray for no good reason. it might be that we are the ones pushing them away, or perhaps we are trying to make them the monster that they're not.

this one's very similar to jfk's famous quote but this one's in my own words though.

"stop asking what other people can offer you. you should ask yourself what you can offer to other people. if they can't make you laugh, then maybe you can make them."

fading..

i don't want to just drive away. i want to fade away, for good.
