I must keep reminding myself that I'm here to get this shit done and become a doctor. I had options for an easy way out but I chose the long and difficult road. I'm in this for the long haul. I wish I stayed in Toronto. I wish I just applied for Michner and just became a technician of some kind. But no. I'm here and I must get this shit done. I'm not venting because the material is difficult, it's because I miss the environment I had back home. The weather (TRUST.. the summer weather get's boring), the people (one in particular hahahaha), and just the vibe. But hey, if I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, and hopefully make it back home.

what is 16 months on the island anyway? One down. 15 more to go!

Keep me focused.
Keep me blessed.

Too many birthdays. Caked&Baked is not a good look.

Because Community is Back.

Love how fall time television gets fresh with all the shows coming back and new shows that may start their own fair run on my torrents.



Do Ya Like - Childish Gambino

Winter is definitely not my season. Nalulunkot ako.

John Mayer - Dreaming With A Broken Heart


This is just one of those fall-weather-romantic-comedy songs where the guy is walking through the city streets with a peacoat on, thinking about how he just lost his chance with that one woman that changed his life...

It seems to be that season again where I'll be watching more rom-coms and hopelessly wishing to find something like what you see in the movies. I swear there are times when IDGAF but then there are days like these when I hear these kind of songs and the switch is flipped - EMOOOO hahaha. I just need to focus is all. Success is the goal, dress for success, strive for it, and most importantly put in the work to reach it. If by chance something happens in between then I guess it's cool.

FOCUS

TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB - WHAT YOU KNOW

Aww man... had some post-birthday-day drinks with kyle. 3 pitchers between only me and kyle from 5:30pm to basically 10:30. Not gonna lie, I was borderline between tipsy and drunk by the end of it haha. Was home by 11pm after hitting up BK and crashed till bout now, only to find out I had 11 missed texts and I slept through a fire alarm and building evacuation haha. It's been a good two days no doubt but I really must get some sleep and do work for the rest of the weekend.

Deuces

Decent day with Good Company. Shoutouts to Ben, Samer, Dan, Amy, Nila, Kelsey, Rach,Kevin, Lisa, Kyle and Paul. Wings and cake. mMmm been a good day.

GUNPLA! 2

finished the gundam! started with the body, and finished with the legs. The gundam has 2 different modes, and the instructions build the closed unicorn mode, decided that Id be too lazy to change it after so I opened it up to "destroy" mode as I went along. I would definitely buy another master grade gundam to make. I finished the gundam model, but I think im going to get a marker to fill in the lines.

finished product!

okayy time to get on that munny...

Deee Lite - Groove is in the Heart (Music Video)


Feelin this groove.
[As heard on HIMYM.]

Deactivated. Let's see if I can last a month and improve myself.

History repeats itself

I find myself in another creative stump. I want to drop everything and actually just focus on school but I have my responsibilities. (Why did I sign up for this?) So unfortunately I was hoping to run this hiphopcompetitioncommittee(HHCC) with only two other people max. Unfortunately one of those people invited three other people and I was too stupid to speak up. And so history repeats itself. But now that I am in this predicament I will definitely try to make the most of it and kill two birds with one stone. Those other three will have to put in just as much work as me and the other two I originally planned to run it with, I will see to it that it happens. That way I don't have to do the bulk of the work in my creative slump and they would pull their weight in this. It is kind of stressful but relieving now that I think about it. This term will work out for me. I swear. I can't afford any more of this mediocrity. #frustrated

P.S. I'm starting to consider twitter but I like the fact that not a lot of people read these thoughts of mine (if any).

P.S. I need a muse. Now Hiring.

GUNPLA!

RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Master grade

Instruction manual
parts......
tools, and the little pilot that goes in the body unit
the little pilot in the little pilot chair that goes into the body unit
So this is gonna be my project for the next day or two. hopefully it won't take too long. I did not realize how detailed master grade gundams get until i saw the tiny pilot. Alright time to get right into this. Since I have a lot of time on my hands I might as well have fun! This is the kind of hobby I can see myself doing from now till I'm old whether it's gundams, cars or model planes.

Oh, I plan on working on that munny this term too! I just haven't decided 100% on what I want to make, and I need to find a place to buy some paints for it...

-Mike

Both definitely good movies. Have to do something when I'm sick...

Hope is most important when it seems that there is none left.

So I just went to a conference held by WATSA which is the Tamil Student Association here in Waterloo. It was sponsored by CHRV - Canadian Human Rights Voice - and they discussed the events during and following the war in Sri Lanka that "ended" in 2009. It is sad to think that things like this still happen around the world and go unnoticed. Truthfully, I myself was not fully aware of this and that is part of the problem. To have knowledge is to have power and to have power is to be able to make a change, therefore I implore you, the reader, to inform yourselves. Always look to see the humanity in others, try to understand even the people that upset you. Listen to the news and educate yourselves in what is going on around us. Seek to make this world better for yourselves as well as for others.

I know this post is kind of random and what not but it does reignite some of my feelings towards how this world is and where it's headed. I'm not trying to be pessimistic but with so much potential it hurts to know that we're throwing it away because of our own selfish desires and ignorance.

Dazed

I just had a TA session today which was a crash course of what was learned in the past week. VERY glad that I held my own really well and answered all the questions asked no problem. Been up at 6:45-7:15 am everyday and been leaving the library at 11:30pm - 12am every night. But I believe the studying is sticking so I'm not complaining.

In the meantime. I'm just a sleepyhead.



Oh and free time? Music blogs, food with friends, basketball, gym. Must use the few "free" time as best as possible. As you can probably tell, music blogs doing it pretty well so far.


In the words of the local Dominicans,

"Everything Blessed."

Tunes from miles away

It's a different world here. Music unifies the world though.

Wow ten years ago today, the twin towers were hit and millions died. Several people are probably still affected by this even today, especially because of the "War on Terror" that spawned out of this. Love and prayers go out to all that fell victim to these attacks.

I remember going to school and hearing about this from my Gr. 7 teacher Mr. Kolozetti.
I remember walking home and thinking about it.
I remember my little brother telling me about a prayer that his teacher taught him.
"For those who are sad, we pray to the Lord. For those who are frightened, we pray to the Lord. Amen"

Weird movie. It was alright considering that it was made in 2000.

Love & Truth


Another concept by Hoodieandscarf. Worked with a good friend (Nilerz from UW Hip Hop) to make the concept come to light.

RainHeart


So I realized this blog has become more of an outlet for random thoughts and such. Initially it was primarily suppose to be about making concept videos (Hence the name Clear.Concept) and being creative with a side of random shiz. Unfortunately not long after the creation of this blog, I lost my creative drive for a while. I didn't want to dance or draw. Hopefully this video(^) will help to kick start that drive again. It was a quick impromptu concept video that a good friend of mine (Hoodieandscarf) wanted to do. Turned out decent and I'm kind of satisfied with it. Hopefully this will be the first of many more creative posts to come.

Decent movie. It had it's moments but in comparison to the previous three movies it doesn't really match up for some reason. Could be the loss or Keira Knightly haha.

interesting back-story but overall not a very good film. It started and ended pretty quickly.

Fortune Cookie: "Success to your plans."

Fortune Cookie: "Keep your feet on the ground even though friends flatter you."

Fortune Cookie: "He that can't endure the bad will not live to see the good."

Fortune Cookie: "A mentor is someone whose hindsight can become your foresight."

That seems more like a nice fact rather than a fortune. Just sayin'

Speaking of Ryan Gosling. Word on the street is that he's dating Eva Mendes... that jerk. Eva Mendes is my kryptonite. One of my handful of celebrity crushes. Damn you Mr. Gosling for being so suave... curses

So forgot to mention that I watched this movie on Sunday. I found it pretty funny. Decent romcom.

Lucy Rose - Middle of the Bed


I think I'm a sucker for songs with female singers who have a soothing British accent.

Definitely went on another movie binge...

Decent movie.

Esthero feat. Sean Lennon and TSO - Everyday Is A Holiday


Just rediscovered this song in my itunes. For some reason it reminds me of the winter season. Typically I'm a fan of summer but hearing this song makes me think that winter won't be so bad.

Found this interesting.

F*CK I hate being emo. But it seems to be that time again. Another school term. A new house. A new atmosphere. Change is inevitable and yet I still haven't learned to take it with ease. I'm just looking for consistency in an ever changing world.

"Are you there God? It's me giraffe."

Pain. A state of being. The point when a man can either evolve and adapt or break down and fall apart.

Leona Lewis - Happy (US Version)


Heard this at the singing competition at Wonderland PND this year. The girl who sang it was amazing. It sounded like Leona Lewis was actually there.

Not feeling to bright and happy right now.
