Hello guys. :) so, I was nocturnal lately even though I have regular classes, I still can't sleep well. But last night, I was talking to one of my friends who's a music lover. He gave me tons of good song titles. and because of that, I decided to make a blog post of my reviews about Music and I come up with a title for it, it's Do Re Mi. As we all know, DoReMi is related to music that's why I used this title for my future blog posts about my music or song reviews. But for my blog, DoReMi will not only focus on Music but also on Movies. My DoReMi label stands for Do a Review about Music (for Music) & Do a Review about a Movie. These reviews might help you in choosing what music to listen and what movies to watch. I will wholeheartedly express my opinion towards these things especially most of it are the things that caught my heart. For now, I will make a review about a certain song that my friend recommended to me last night.

Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop by Landon Pigg

I listened to this song last night on Youtube. The music video was uploaded 6 years ago (2009) and this song was from his album The Boy Who Never. I never knew Landon Pigg (sorry, late bloomer --,) until my friend told me to listen to this song. But from some article on the internet, he was an American actor and songwriter.

At first, I expected that the song and its music video will be sweet or romantic based from the title itself. I bet some coffee shop lovers would like to listen to this song especially when they admire some strangers at a coffee shop. From the moment I started to watch the music video, I already fell in love with it. From the smooth and chill rhythm that it has through its cute and sweet music video. From what I see about the song , it's about having a love at first sight at a coffee shop and how the guy fell in love to the girl through the things that he saw deeply from her. When it comes to the music video, it reflects to the lyrics of the song but they added a twist where the guy and the girl can control time and stop it whenever they want to. It also showed the typical meet-up where a usual person would find difficulty in introducing himself to a stranger that he would like to know and all he can do is to stare to that person. (Medyo natotorpe o nahihiya) And even the process of how to make a move even though the person is not aware of the things you do. (effort ka ng effort para mapansin ka, pero wala, nakakatorpe pa din) But the good thing about the music video was that, there was a happy ending where the two end up talking to each other up close.

All in all, the music was so sweet. For me, I will never get tired of listening to it. From its lovely rhythm and sweet lyrics. If you would imagine or feel the lyrics of the song, it will really caught your heart. many people who loves to listen to love and chill songs especially to the loyal customers of some coffee shops out there. I could consider this song as one of my favorite love songs that must be remembered by everyone. It was really a great song. I would highly recommend this for all of you to listen. Here's the lyrics of the song.

"Falling In Love At A Coffee Shop"

I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you
Yes there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you.
I've seen the paths that your eyes wander down
I want to come too

I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you

No one understands me quite like you do
Through all of the shadowy corners of me

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
I love so much
All of the while I never knew
I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
I love so much
All of the while I never knew

I think that possibly, maybe I'm falling for you
Yes there's a chance that I've fallen quite hard over you.
I've seen the waters that make your eyes shine
Now I'm shining too

Because oh because
I've fallen quite hard over you

If I didn't know you, I'd rather not know
If I couldn't have you, I'd rather be alone

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
I love so much
All of the while I never knew
I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop
I love so much
All of the while, I never knew

All of the while, all of the while,
it was you

Dear Diaries, Journals, Slambooks, scrapbooks, photo albums, tapes and CDs. These were the traditional things that we use to express ourselves and save wonderful experiences. I know we missed those things and some of them never get old. But now, there's this thing that we may call as the "Journal of the 21st Century" and I will tell you how I fell in love with this just like how fell in love with our traditional journals.

Blogging has been part of my favorite hobbies since then. I remember when I was in 6th grade when I learned to create a blog site in our computer class. It was also here, in Blogger. (Tbh, I can't remember my url.) and I wasn't able to update it in a regular basis since I'm still fond of playing outside than staying inside the house, surfing the internet. But when tumblr emerged during my high school years, I started to blog again but on a weekly basis only. It was fun since on tumblr, you can "heart" those posts that you like, you can follow and connect with other people, you can repost the posts that you like and customize your blog. Then, there's Facebook (after friendster) where it's also a medium for photo, video, and text blog. Then, there's twitter. Then, Instagram (photoblog). Then, Youtube (vlog). There were a lot of social networking sites to use for blogging. But then I realized, Blogger can actually do all those things too. I just didn't explored Blogger that much that's why I wasn't able to know that it has many features that could really make your way of blogging more interesting. That's why a couple of years ago, I started to put up my personal blog, krizmrcd.blogspot.com where it appears to be a lifestyle+travel+fashion blog. I really love blogging because you can freely express yourself through it, CREATIVELY. That's why I never stop blogging. not just here in Blogger, mostly on Instagram and Twitter.

I always love to blog that even in my research class, me and my besties decided to make a research paper about the influence of Fashion Blogging as a medium for communication and advertising. We even used blogging as our topic to talk about for a seminar that we organized for our Public Speaking class. Luckily, I was one of the speakers since my friends know how I love blogging.

I get inspirations from tons of professional bloggers especially Filipino bloggers who love blogging about fashion and their lifestyle. I really love fashion and lifestyle blogs. Like the Enciso Sisters (Vern and Verniece), Uy Sisters (Liz and Laureen), Tricia Gosingtian, Danika Navarro etc. I also read educational blogs whenever I need informations for my homeworks and projects or even just to know new ideas from blogs like one of the famous vlogs which is Ted Talks. I even attended some seminars and expos just to meet bloggers and learn more about them since I'm a newbie in blogging.

Well, last week. We were tasked to create an idea blog for our Media Writing class. For me, it was one of the most interesting tasks that I had/have since I really love blogging. and this task will encourage me to blog more on a weekly basis and share more about my thoughts or ideas that might help. I'm really glad to have this task. I know it's a requirement, but for me it's not just a requirement. it's a responsibility for me that I should pursue or continue to do because I am blogger and a Communication student. Nowadays, people use social media as a way to share information or to look for useful informationand blogging is really a great way to do it. That's why this task will not just be a requirement for me. I must consider it as my habit of sharing ideas to everyone. it will be a good habit tho. :) You can share your wonderful experiences that might inspire others and You can freely express your opinion that matters and our voices might be heard by anyone.

So, this how I fell in love with B. Blogging. :) And I will keep on loving it. And I know, all of you will also love it because it's free. Many social media sites are emerging and these are useful channels for blogging. Just always keep in mind the netiquettes.

Well now, I created this idea blog aside from my personal blog. I will come up with tons of stories to share to you that might be useful. I will share my reviews (music, movies and shows), opinions on certain issues, and some of my literary or art works since I'm fond of writing poems, stories and doodling. I hope all of these may help you and inspire you to express yourselves too.

PS. I'll update my blog ASAP since I have so many things to share to you guys.
