[Music] My top 4 songs that contain good stories in lyrics

Posted on

My dear loyal readers,

Here I am back again with you after getting sick of playing the “Gone Girl” for the whole year. My blog has been covered by a thick spider’s web. I am here to tell you that I guess the Chinese fortune is right about me that 2018 does seem so wrong to me that even when I crossed the whole ocean to make my way to Australia, the Unlucky God is still able to chase after me and spread misery whenever I go. Forget about that, I will make – this time, I hope not to go back on my promise – another post to conclude my 2018 and begin a new 2019. (According to the fortune, it is better than the previous year but still not good).

So where can you find a good story? From books? From films? True. You can also find it in music. There are actually some songs that tell brilliant stories in their lyrics. From that, you can some clues of the mind and the life of people who wrote them. I think it would be a terrific debut of me after a long time hiatus.

I make it as clear as day that I love Last Kiss (Pearl Jam’s cover) till the day I die but I am not going to include it in my list because I already did before. My readers please refer to my old posts if you want to read my review about the song. The amazing story featured in the song should be on this list but I am not going to repeat myself.    

Noted that this post deals with subjective interpretations which could be either right or wrong. So take it as a grain of salt. But I am very happy if you can share your interpretation as well. 

Is it a coincidence that I always update my posts on this blog around December?

[Music] My Top 3 Vietnamese songs

Posted on

I am not going to beat around the bush. This blog post is all about music but I hope it will be a new fresh wind to you. Today we talk about Vietnamese music, which is also known as V-pop. Yes! V-I-E-T-N-A-M-E-S-E. I have never mentioned V-pop (if any, then it is very rare) in my blog before. Vietnamese music is good and on its way to develop. It is not that I am against my country music industry but I do not listen to it very often. Hence, it is pretty hard for me to choose my Top 3 Vietnamese songs I like, if you my dear readers have better recommendations, please write them down in the comment fields and I will give it a try.

It’s time to show your support to the nation’s music industry *waving Vietnamese flag*

[Life + Music] What does Dorayaki do when dealing with stress?

Posted on

Let’s get down to one of the most conventional interview questions “How do you deal with stress?”. Actually, I find it uncomfortable to deal with the “Why did you leave your previous company?” question which sounds to me not much more than “Why did you break up with your ex?”. Not necessary at all.

Life is not always rainbows and butterflies. After her sweet Europe vacation, Dorayaki got so overwhelming with her job. So various factors cause me to get truly stressful; say it client complaints, new briefings, new training sessions and credit card billings (oops, off track, it stresses me though). But the hardest one is I have become a part of the closed process in which like a Domino effect, I fail to do one mission, it negatively affects the others, slowing down the entire universe as well. I feel like being buried alive. While I am just a short girl with an average height of 1.57 m, pressure is too big to handle. At times, I think breaking down to cry is the only thing I can do. As we have it “Difficulties break men but make others”, if I do not want to go down the path of a loser, I need to get rid of my vulnerability and carry on what I need to do. I need to stay cool.

How to do that?

“Download these songs and put your headphone on”

Stay calm, my dear loyal readers! I still remember my promise that my blog may be shifting partly to movie and travelling in my previous blog posts; not to mention that I just got back from a wonderful Europe trip that you have ever longed to read what I had been through there. I do not mean to cheat you guy with a post seemingly indicating life-hack tips but in fact another music post in disguise. But think about that. Rather than a post about me running 1000 meters from Gate 40 to Gate 17 in Frankfurt airport in less than 5 minutes and that made my menstrual cycle go crazy, the one about songs that Dorayaki has been listening to lately when she is stressed is without a doubt more useful.

But I will not let you down. In every song, I leave my tips on how to deal with stress.

Cannot wait to share with my dearest readers now.

Of course, I have no problem if you take this post as “what songs have been on Dorayaki’s iPod lately?”

[Music] My top 4 cover songs

Posted on

Sometimes you have to admit that cover versions are really impressive as with their new grandeur they help you look at new perceptions of the originals that you have never done before. It does not make you love the original less, but appreciate them more.  In this post, I will choose 4 cover songs that I indeed admire and loyal readers, please note that, this post is written out of my respect for the originals since I am a huge fan of them.

[Music] 4 sexy songs that turn you hot immediately

Posted on

So after almost 3 months of going missing, I am back with a cannot-be-dirtier post about songs that turn you hot on the spot. Why is this post created and what criteria should be considered to be on the list? First question: Because I was bored. Second question: eroticism, sexually explicit or implied lyrics or just simply sexual pleasure you feel when listening to them.

To my loyal readers who in a second think that their innocent Dorayaki was hacked or possessed, stay rest assured that there is no other, but me. Anyway, this is just for pure entertainment. So are you ready to activate your pervert mind?

I have just found out that this is the first post of 2017. Oh I have been neglecting my website for so long.

[Music] Sad songs for sad days

Posted on

Music is a good way to express emotions. Fun songs with fast beats may cheer up your mood and sad songs simply make you shed your tears (or even want to die). With that in mind, today I will choose songs that tear my heart into pieces. The question is why I do not make a playlist of song that lift my spirit up. The answer is “I don’t know”. For your information, this post is written without any plans ^^.

[Movie] The Guest

Posted on

Just yesterday, I watched a film called The Guest. Not an appealing title, isn’t it? But I thought it was worth 100 minutes (could be that length) watching it. Now I am giving some thoughts on this movie.
