Hanging aroundNothin' to do but frownRainy days and Mondays always get me down Rainy Days and Mondays, The Carpenters First, I love The Carpenters but I don't hate rainy days and Mondays. I used to love the rain. And I used to love Mondays. Keywords: "USED TO." In fact, I loved rainy days. As a sweaty person, I avoided any and all chances of being under the sun and getting sweaty. Growing up, I barely commuted, except going to school and going back home a few times in high school. And for a few semesters in college. And when I started working as an adult, I also barely commuted. Hence, no real reason to hate rainy days. Even when there were flooding in some areas or when traffic was a hassle, I did not mind it much. When finding a cab is a hassle because of heavy rains, I would just spend time at a cafe or wherever I am and just wait it out. I did not mind the rain or its hassles. Plus, rainy days and nights also make the weather cooler and more comfortable for me. Rainy days would usually be spent sleeping in or just lounging…

NCT 127 Chill Playlist
Happy 127 Day, NCTzens! It is January 27 (0127) and it is a special day for NCT 127 and NCTzens. To celebrate this day, 127 is sharing their own playlists via the NCT 127 Youtube Channel. Taking their cue, I am sharing also a few of my favorite 127 songs. Specifically, these are songs that I love to listen to on days when I want to just chill and relax. Hope you enjoy my NCT 127 Chill Playlist recommendations. About 127 NCT 127 is the first fixed unit of NCT (Neo Culture Technology), a KPop boy group managed by SM Entertainment. NCT 127 Favorite.BUY the album. NCT's concept is quite uhmmm... complicated to explain. Just think of them as an unlimited boy group composed of multiple units with different concepts. Some of these units have a specific city "home base" where they do most of their activities and promotions. NCT 127 is based in Seoul, Korea and 127 is the longitude of Seoul. They currently have 9 active members and 1 inactive member. 127 debuted in 2016 with "Fire Truck," an energetic and powerful hip-hop song. I mention this because Fire Truck, along with all of 127's succeeding title tracks…
Coffee and Tea Time Playlist
Good day! How has your week been? I have mentioned that Coffee Time is my favorite part of my Morning Routine. And one of the reasons I love this part of my day is my own Coffee Playlist. The playlist is entitled with the Coffee and Tea emojis on Spotify. I just like it that way. Anyway, I thought of sharing the playlist and how I created it. Creating a Coffee Playlist This playlist did not actually start as a "Coffee Playlist." Initially, I wanted to make a playlist of two of my favorite French songs, La View en Rose and La Mer. I included Lanca Perfume and added a few other French, Italian, and Spanish which had a mellow but upbeat vibe. It was mostly jazz and bossa nova songs. It was originally titled "Of Roses and the Sea." https://open.spotify.com/track/3lAun9V0YdTlCSIEXPvfsY?si=xPbRRxXnQPWA4ue6RWqSeg https://open.spotify.com/track/2ZeHwwyO4hRMKYk5L1uke6?si=gv0YZyNaS262VNiDkWwy5Q https://open.spotify.com/track/3cijWAljXxxJDco4N2aLQl?si=mVA1xxz3To-l-RfHhSNEPQ I listened to this playlist often and kept on adding songs as suggested by Spotify. Eventually, I realized it actually gave me cafe vibes. It was the perfect playlist while having coffee or tea, any time of the day. So I sought to add more songs that were not just French, Italian, or Spanish. Adding some Asian…
Haven’t Met You Yet
One of the songs on Kuya Andrew's car playlist is Michael Buble's Haven't Met You Yet. I'm a fan of Buble and I have been wanting to download this song. I fell more in love with the song after Kuya and Ate Joanna sang it on videoke night. I love the lyrics of the song. So optimistic. :) Haven't Met You Yet Michael Buble I'm Not Surprised Not Everything Lasts Have Broken My Heart So Many Times, I Stopped Keepin Track.

Marc Abella: Guitarist
We don't want you to think that we have an untalented, unskilled cousin. Marc Genesis Abella is, in fact, a fantastic guitarist. And to prove that to you... I have a clip of his performance with the Molave Junction of the Eagles' Hotel California: It was our niece's 1st birthday turned oldies party, hence, the uber kikay decoration around the place. And it was raining... HARD! Marc is only 14 years old and only started playing the guitar a couple of years ago. The music clip is available here... Marc Abella's Guitar Solo
