Being in Hong Kong I have immediately had the chance to immerse myself in the local customs, so what else could I say to you all if not "Happy mid-autumn festival"?! Tonight I took a walk through Victoria park and witnessed the beautiful show of the lanterns. Being around all day and tired, I didn't stay for the "main show" of dragon dance and more, but I am confident I'll get the chance to see that some other time! And what better to celebrate than taking your clothes off, as Zayn suggests? Given the hot weather here I guess it's a pleasure for many to come home and undress, so as to enjoy some freedom! ... What are you saying? That's not what he implied? ... well, whatever...!!
After a couple of weeks in Hong Kong the settling in process seems to have stopped a little bit (goddamn bank account that I can't seem to be able to open!), but well... today I attended my first "lecture" (a workshop to be precise) here in my new uni, tomorrow the semester is going to officially start and here we are! I got the keys to my new home, which is not so ready yet (still some cleaning up to do, a lady sent by the landlord should be coming tomorrow), plus my furniture will be delivered and assembled tomorrow, plus the internet guys are supposedly coming to install the broadband tonight between 9.30 and 11.30 PM (is this for real?!)... well, things are starting to get real. I still need to get the find-your-points-of-reference process to an acceptable level, but we're getting there! In the meanwhile I'm sharing with you a song you most likely know already, but which has been going on quite often on my iPod and so lately!! Enjoy!
Me beloved readers, please forgive me! I've not been able to post lately, this time around for reasons behind my immediate control (i.e. the Internet at home not working properly, just not to say not working at all...).... Tonight it seems to be somehow working a little better, so I'm taking my chances and trying to publish this post! This summer 2016, besides many other little things, has been peculiar musically because of the amount of liking I have developed for this goddamn teenagers idol! I guess this really proves that I am living my teenage now, so happy growing up to me and happy summer to y'all!! (PS: Happy 900th blog post to 'A song or two per day' too!)
Today I found myself singing a couple of songs in my head, i.e. 'Trespassing' by Adam Lambert and 'Boulevard of broken dreams' by Green Day, but both of them have already been posted on the blog, so no chance to get inspiration from them... I'm gonna have to revert to something I've been listening to more recently, and well, I guess the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree, as Zayn's music genre isn't that much far away from the other singers I mentioned, especially Adam. I'm sure you guys are gonna be just fine with this one too, it's the first song of his debut solo album that stuck with me.
Never have I ever thought I would be posting something like this on this blog. And yet here I am. Being well in my 20s when stuff like OneDirection and Justin Bieber (am I sure about that?) came around in the spotlight, I was old enough to be on the critical side of boy bands and trash-pop music for teenagers, especially as these recent acts play a little bit too heavy on synths and electronically-created sounds for my taste (we all love our own age's Backstreet Boys & Spice Girls, don't we?!). I've listened to a couple of Bieber songs and I would not care to repeat the experience. Pretty much the same goes for OneDirection: I was not disturbed by their music, but it wasn't something I was (and am) interested in exploring further. And here I found myself listening to Zayn Malik's debut solo album. Why? Well... I could say I don't why but it wouldn't be true. I know why, but I'm not gonna tell you my reason here, as it wouldn't be professional!! Let's just say I brought out the teenager that is inside of me, and he actually didn't dislike what he listened to. To the point that I am here, doing this. I hope you can forgive me for that: "I've done this BeFoUr, but not like this".
