Back to reality

First week back at Uni is done. It was okay but I'm already feeling stressed thinking of the stuff I need to do for the semester. One elective has so much stuff to do and the teacher is really intense I'm thinking of dropping it. It's not really my cup of tea but taking this class would be good for me so maybe I'll just stay put. Plus I've already changed my schedule 3 times this first week the student centre might not approve any more requests from me. Then there's the projects class. I'm excited to do this but I don't know what I want to do still. I need to get my act together by Monday, so I can already start preprod.

I think my mind has been on a break for too long it's struggling to function properly and doesnt handle multi-tasking anymore.

Can we fast forward to June please?

Babblings: Grammys 2011

Finally got to watch the entire Grammy Awards 2011! (thank you piratebay.org) So I thought of just typing out my observations on the show. I don't really have anyone to talk to about this here so why not write about it.

I watch the Grammys mainly for the performances because I'm curious to see as to what artists will do with their songs when they perform it live and to celeb watch (haha). It's the Grammys so you know they're going to give an all out performance. Or they're going to have an unusual collaboration or something which could either work or fail.

Some thoughts:

• no host. and the show still ran smoothly. well done.
• Aretha tribute was great! Particulary loved Martina McBride's voice and Florence's energy. Christina's mic stand is "papansin". But the diva off/ screech fest at the end was TOO MUCH. Good on ya J-Hud for not joining in. 
• Though I'm not a fan of Gaga. She really knows how to get people's attention. So in her incredibly high standard of attention grabbing performances this one was kind of blah.
• I don't think I've fully accepted that Ricky Martin and Neil Patrick Harris are gay.
• Awesome use of the video board by Muse.
• Cee Lo's performance was one of the most memorable, thanks to the muppet background singers/band and Cee Lo's pinata-ish costume. Only letdown was Gwyneth not playing along with the costumes and Cee Lo forgetting his words. ha.
• Mick Jagger was awesome! Loved his energy on stage! He was performing as if it was his OWN show. I dont know lots of his stuff but now I understand why he's a legend. It would probably be cool to see him do that live.
• Barbra Streisand is still Barbra! But I got distracted when she started to sing "Love.. soft as an easy chair..." The next word that came to my mind was "Stupid!" Thanks Salbakuta for ruining such a classic song.
• What's the difference b/n Song of the Year and Record of the Year?
• Katy Perry doesn't sound good live. Or baka ako lang yun.
• How cute was Nicole Kidman in the audience dancing along to the performances and singing the Katy Perry song?
• Also cute? Will and Jada = stage parents (plus Willow in the background)
• Bieber/Usher was alright. I guess. I can watch Usher dance all day but he needs to stop auto-tuning his voice. He wasn't using it before and he sounded great.
• Di nagets ni Justin yung joke ni Letterman. haha.
• Dear Lady Antebellum, Need You Now is a great song, but do you have to sing it in every performance? Didn't you sing that last year too?
• Adam Levine "performed" with Rihanna. I didn't mind that he was only a back-up since it's not his song, but dude should've gotten at least some screen time, it's not everyday you see him play the piano. He had no close-ups/midshots. Also, in that same number I didn't see Skylar Grey's face. She had the same issues as Adam and she was singing a full song and out-sung Rihanna! Grammys/CBS Fail!
• Emimen! Dr Dre! Galing niyo pa din!
• Arcade fire: Hyper
• Favorite of the night: Janelle Monae!! Love her! Glad she was given the chance to perform! I want to see her live and dance with her! Good thing she didn't push through with Good Vibrations or we would've missed that. hee. The whole collab with Bruno Mars and B.O.B was good too.

Okay. I'll shattap now. That's all I can remember about the show. Congrats to winners and non-winners!
