Acoustic Tunes for Monday Blues

Today is just one those dry days, where you feel absolutely lazy, withdrawn, sleepy or in my case bloated (I just stuffed myself silly with Pizza Hut's Tempura Prawn Spagetti lunch set).

Plus, the weather is not really helping - I've always loved cloudy days with a breeze and this...HEAT...just slows everything down.

Anyway, in between slogging through my workload for the day, I felt the need for some acoustic/unplugged tunes. Since I'm out of anything remotely interesting to blog about (mind you, I'm so uninspired right now that I just might go on a blog-less spell for 6 months), I've decided to share my current playlist below (in no particular order).

1. Ryan Adams - (cover of Oasis's) Wonderwall

2. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Road Trippin'

3. Chris Daughtry - (cover of Lady Gaga's) Pokerface

4. Boyce Avenue - (cover of Vertical Horizon's) Everything You Want

5. Boyce Avenue - (cover of Goo Goo Dolls's) Slide

6. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge (Live at Slane Castle)

7. Tyler Ward - (cover of The Fray's) Never Say Never

8. Santana - Black Magic Woman (not acoustic but still one of my favourites)

9. Rodrigo & Gabriela - Stairway to Heaven (purely instrumental)

10. Incubus - Drive (acoustic version)

So there you have it. Of course, you can find them all on YouTube. Hopefully, these can get me through the day until I get home and play Guitar Hero 3 *face lights up in anticipation*.

Rest in Peace Gemy

Last night a friend of mine passed away. She was in late stages of dengue and in the last 2 days she was bleeding internally and her organs were failing one by one. She couldn't hold on to life support much longer and slipped away from us. She was only 21.

I was not that close to her but we've hung out before. Heck, just few weeks ago, a whole group of us were in PD for the weekend. To know that she is no longer around us is just plain shocking.

It just goes to show how short life can be and how we take it for granted most of the time. Anything can happen and before you know it, your time is up. I can't imagine how her family must be feeling. To lose someone so close to you, especially when it was not their time to go, is simply devastating.

I hope that her soul is blessed and she is at peace now. You will truly be missed, Gemy.
