Qaqa's Journey

Trying to KEEP UP

2011-12-14T06:07:00.000-08:00

Sorry for not keeping my promise of updating this blog.

There had been a lot going on in my life that I don't feel it's necessary to share. Sometimes I wonder if there is anyone reading this blog. Every single time I update, I have to share it on twitter, facebook, messenger. No one will read it unless I share it right? Well, that's the point I guess. I don't blog often, therefore I feel that having a blog at this point of my life is completely useless. Although I say this, I might end up being an active user.

I'm always busy with school, social life and having fun at the same time that I forget what my main purpose in life is. Actually, I don't really have a definite purpose. All I know is my education have to end in University and keeping my passion in music/instruments alive.

I am currently learning guitar and I had taken a grade 4 exam but it wasn't my best. Recently, I've been telling myself to stop the guitar lesson and try out something new. I have to pursue on other instruments such as the drums and the piano. I feel that I have to take this opportunity of having the time after school, not only to study but learning something NEW. Since I have been learning the guitar for over 5 years now, I feel that achieving a new goal will help me set a new one in the future.

I've decided on taking up keyboard and even challenging myself to take their exams. I've yet to apply for lessons, but when I do, I'm sure as hell gonna feel relieve.

All this will be achieved. Not now, but soon.

Till the next update.

8 years of friendship

Hey guys!

I'm so sorry for not updating regularly. Ever since school started, I haven't found any real topics to talk about. I haven't been recording either as sem 2 of poly started and I can't be fooling around anymore. I was playing a fool in sem 1, not being serious in my exams and work. I can't be doing that anymore. I'm glad that I have a good studying environment for this sem 2. Everyone is so smart, knows when to play and study, I'm really blessed to have met them.

That aside.
I have found out that my little baby, Gemok has symptoms that she is about to end her life. I'm really sad about this. I just hope its not true. I have been taking care of her for 8-9 years of my life and I don't want her to end like this. She hasn't been eating for 3 weeks straight. She don't walk around the house anymore like she normally does, actively. She shivers every time I try to touch her claws. She kept gasping for air every few minutes. I'm really worried about her and I'm just assuming the worst. I know, living things have to go one day. I'm just not prepared for this yet. Especially for a friend that have been with me for this long. A friend that I took care of and showed my nonsense to when I'm at home.

I just hope you would stay till I have a family so that you could see me grow like how I saw you come to age. I know I haven't been taking good care of you. I didn't pay any close attention to you either. Not until I found a job at the turtle museum. They taught me a lot and I thank them for that. Because of them, I'm able to understand you better but I realized that I'm too late. I did my best but my best wasn't enough.

I'm soooo sorry little fellow. I pray for you to live on. Turtle represents longevity. Would you stay with me till the end?

School's started!

2011-10-13T05:21:00.000-07:00

School started, so I had little time to blog about what's been happening.

So basically, I'm back in school, meaning, I wouldn't have time to blog or do a video cover. Sad indeed but I gotta live with it. Whatever.

School's been okay I guess. A new semester, a new bunch of friends made! It took us awhile to get a hang of each other and I must say that by the 3rd day, we were getting comfortable around each other. I guess now, the 2nd week of school, been going great! We made jokes and work together with smiles.

Wonderful set aside, I guess the modules I'm stuck with this semester are a killer apart from maths. Math have been great to me since the first time I took it in kindergarten. The other modules are such a dread. Whatever it is, I will try to not to give up and push my way up. So far my daily grades has been good, I better keep it up at it.

That's it for now, I will say goodbye with another link to my cover of Scorpions - Still loving you solo cover. It's not really perfected yet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgCSS8u-yTw

Cheers,
Qaqa

What was I up to?

2011-10-01T08:46:00.000-07:00

Hey guys!

So for this week, I had only done recordings, editing and chillax-ing! Basically, my school is starting in like 4 days and I have been using my last week of holidays wisely by pampering myself to relaxing, chilling out with my buddies to a cup of Johnny English Reborn and also, getting in touch with my best friend!

Firstly, yes, I have done a solo cover of Avenged Sevenfold - Buried Alive, my 'idon'tknowhowmanyattemptsidid' cover of it. Coz it was only a cover of less than 2 mins, so, I took advantage of the time limit that my camera allows me to shoot and just kept rewinding the solo part until I thought it was good enough to be put up on Youtube and Facebook. So here it is, my very awful cover of the song. I'll try to improve on it as soon as possible!

Next, remember my previous post? I put up a link of the bloopers my friend and I had? We were actually doing a cover of Nicki Minaj ft Rihanna - Fly. I edited it and post it up on Youtube a few days ago and so here it is.

I finally got to watch Johnny English Reborn a couple of days ago and I must say it is really hilarious. It's definitely a MUST WATCH! I just can't explain it. All the more reason for you guys to go catch it!

Caught up with my best friend today! We never fail to talk about different kinds of things when we meet and we just wouldn't STOP!! Amazing how I could go on and on about something I'm pissed at and she would be supporting me! Though we can't really see each other often, just know that I always try my best to find time for you! (^_^)
Anyways, we even took pictures, and here are some of em. Enjoy viewing!

My injured pinky finger

About that injured pinky finger. Funny story.
I was actually training my arm muscles and so I was carrying my 3kg dumbbells. I was doing the dumbbell exercices for shoulders, so this is my position,

So I was doing fast movements, till I hadn't realised that my pinky finger went out of the handle and when both my dumbbells came into contact, it just had to crush my pinky!! It was like FINAL DESTINATION AT HOME or something. AND sooooo, I was screaming in silence. Internal bleeding occured not long after the screams in my head.

Cheers,
Qaqa

An Adventure!

2011-09-26T10:32:00.000-07:00

I'm back with a whole lot of adventure!

Last Saturday and Sunday, I went to Desaru Lotus Beach, Pulau Belungkor, Malaysia to support my big bro and his friend who participated in the Triathlon event that was held there. To me, it was a short getaway to take my mind off things but the hotel we stayed in wasn't up to my expectation. Clearly, the hotel we stayed in, is not a recommendation! Cheap & Cheat service, trust me!

Anyways, for only 2 days and 1 night, I had fun with bro, his friend and sis nonetheless. Proud of big bro to finish the race in one piece and achieve his personal best! He is the best!

Check out the pictures below!

So I'll end the night with a little something!
This is the bloopers of a cover, me and my friend did, FLY by Nicki Minaj ft Rihanna! So here it is!

A head start

2011-09-21T07:22:00.000-07:00

Hey guys!

This is Qaqa. I've finally created a blog like after such a long absence. I had a blog before but I decided to delete it since I got too busy to even care about it. Now, I'm starting to miss typing out my daily whereabouts and experiences that I decided to create a new blog! I hope that with this new blog, I'm able to be more active than before.

Ever since I started renewing my Youtube channel, I thought of a few social media to help out with my video covers. I have Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and now Blogger. I think those will help me out a little.

Anyways, I hope to write as often as possible and keep you guys updated. Follow this blog if you would and enjoy reading it as well!

Cheers,

Qaqa
