Out of this World!

When I think of something that's out of this world, I think of Galaxie. What's Galaxie? For those who don't know, Galaxie's nothing less than one of the best entertainment magazines ever. What's cooler is that it's a local magazine! How cool is that?! I'd like to let everyone know that if you happen to have your last RM3.00 or RM4.00 in your pocket, do consider to spend it on Galaxie. That is, if you're a fan of the entertainment scene, locally and internationally.

I've been reading the magazines for a couple of years and I'm not thinking of changing my choice of local entertainment magazine. Since I read the magazine, which is published every fortnight, I become more aware of what is happening in the world of entertainment. Even if it's only entertainment and not something that's very important, it feels good to follow up what our stars are up to from time to time. There's nothing wrong with buying an entertainment magazine every two weeks. Better still, you can even subscribe the magazine. That's not all, you might also be given free gifts upon your subscription. Contests are held and anyone can participate. Don't be surprised if there's a newly released CD or a limited edition merchandise in your mail box!

No words can specifically describe how Galaxie really is. You just have to try reading it yourself.

Thanks, Galaxie, for being there! Keep up the great work!

When Nothing Seems to Go Your Way

It's a very common fact that life isn't always easy. In fact, to some people, it has always been a rough ride for them. No one can be certain of what will happen because many times, unexpected things happen. Thus, it's very important for us, especially youngsters, to get ourselves ready for anything. We might not get used to it instantly, but at least we try in order to move on with life.

Sometimes, we may feel that we're living life day by day. We just want to get something over with by hook or by crook. All I have to say about that is, just do what you have to do until you're completely beat. However, it's not okay to keep feeling that way for a very long time. Something has got to change. It's either your surrounding or you. In this case, we have to be flexible. If you're not very flexible, the learn to be flexible starting from this moment. We musn't be resistant to changes because, let's face it, things in one's life will not remain the same forever. It's okay to be a little different than you used to be as long as you're not doing something harmful.

The reason I stated the things I stated above is because I've experienced changes in my own life, where I'm no longer in my comfort zone. I'm still getting used to it and honestly, it's not so easy but I keep telling myself that it's all part of my life that I have to face. Problems will always be lurking around the corner, waiting for the perfect time to strike. If you're in a situation where you're reluctant to do what you're doing but you know it's the right thing to do, remember that you're not alone. You're never alone.

All the best and be strong!

Too Bad I Can't "Click to Pick"

Here's something interesting from The Click Five's My Space Music. They're having this contest where fans have to pick one among thirty-five faces on who they think the new lead singer is. The contest is called "Click to Pick". Of course, I jumped to it and wanted to enter the contest because the prize is a trip for two to the set of their upcoming new video and a chance to be in the video. How cool is that! Unfortunately for me, it's only for the U.S.A. residents. I knew it was too good to be true! However, I checked it out and would like to share with you guys what I saw.
Here are the faces (Note: Most of them are made-up characters. That's why they may look really goofy.) :

I think it's easy to narrow the candidates into just a few of them. Here are my top four:

Between those four, Kyle's my favourite because he looks most like a Click-Five material. In the picture, he poses more like a singer than the others. Besides, he looks young, cute and band-like. It's not that looks matter so much. I'm just saying, you know? I hope he's the one.

Anyways, don't let these other four below fool you. They're actually the other four members of the band. It's really obvious, isn't it?

Got it? It's kind of funny that they tried to be someone else. I know they did that on purpose. Their sophomore album will be out in June (in America, that is). Better check that out!

Roller Coaster of Hope

Have you ever had your hope rose up so high and in a split second, it crashed all the way down? Have you ever wanted something so much but it turned out not to be in the way you wanted it to? Have you ever been on a roller coaster ride? Obviously, many people have.

What I’m about to say can very much be related to the metaphor on the title of this post. One minute, you’re so hopeful of something, the next minute, your hope’s taken away from you when the total opposite thing happens. I think it’s fair to say that everyone will experience this at one moment in their lives. Only those who are super duper lucky will not have to go through this. If you’re one of the lucky ones, be very grateful!

Now, what do you need to do if you’re brought down by what happened around you? What can anyone say to make you feel better? It’s really a random thing to happen and people’s reactions may vary depending on how down they feel and what feedbacks they receive from others. However you handle it, it’s always best if you first accept it. Accepting something doesn’t necessarily mean that you like it. It’s just that there’s nothing you can do to undo what has happened. Scream if the feeling’s too overwhelming, cry if your heart’s aching too much, lock yourself in your room if you don’t want to be bothered for a while, smile even if you don’t want to, laugh even if you don’t mean it. It doesn’t matter! Just don’t hurt yourself and anyone around you! When you’ve done what you feel like doing, as long as it’s harmless, you’ll feel better bit by bit. Life goes on no matter what! Time will heal; at least, I’d like to think so! Most importantly, God has great plans for you. Remember that! So, be strong and you’ll be lifted up again!

The Click Five - Eric Dill = Me crying in the middle of the night

This is my very first blog ever. Finally, I have a blog of my own but my first post has to be a sad one. *sigh*

Just like every week, I checked my inbox to see if I'd received new e-mail. My jaw dropped when I read that Eric Dill's really leaving the band. It's a normal thing to happen in a band but as a fan, I couldn't help feeling deeply sad. TC5 won't be the same without Eric but I'll support the new lead vocalist no less. On the same day, I listened to my MP4 player and once again, sadness struck me as I listened to TC5 songs. It's just hard especially when Eric's the one singing. Gosh, I'll miss him! Many people will. All the best to him and the rest of TC5 guys! We still love them, don't we?

Here's a peek at the five of them together as a band:

Don't they look great?

A look at Eric as still a TC5 band member:

WE'LL MISS YOU, ERIC!!! *sob*
