Two consecutive MM posts *dies*. I feel guilty for neglecting my blog these days but I was too busy getting those damn achievements for Lost Odyssey one of which is particularly tricky (Treasure Trove) which I eventually managed to achieve. Anyways back to topic…I might start a new segment hopefully this week so that there is more varied content on my blog!

This week’s MM is an obsessed edition featuring a song/video I am recently obsessed with. There’s some minor changes to my obsession page to reflect this as well XD. I am totally fascinated by ASSASSINS CREED series. The games are awesome but what enthralls me is the plot and the story as well as the mystery climax supposed to be in their latest release – AC Revelations. Ok so why am I blabbing about it in MM? Because the first song I want to share is from the Revelations E3 trailer ~ Iron by Woodkid. I am amazed at how much I like this song because of the trailer. I have a feeling that I wouldn’t like it as much if I just heard the song…can you relate to what I am stating here? Anyways check out both the versions of this song in the English language section (also I apologize for being such a game fangirl but I am currently at a point where I might fall for anyone doing an AC cosplay @_@ *super embarrassed* oh young Ezio BTW XD).

I am contemplating whether I should spaz about the trailer or not…to put it shortly…I love how he sees glimpses of Altair…um related to the gameplay but I won’t mention that. Enjoy the trailer if you haven’t already:

This is the original MV of the song…I like it but it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me ^_^;

Ok that was enough spaz-ing now moving back to foreign language section…like I mentioned this is the obsessed MM version…I have been watching the Korean Drama – The Greatest Love and absolutely love it! It is a very funny and touching series at the same time (Dok Go Jin <3). Anyways I am selecting a song from the OST ~ Because You Are My Man by G.NA. Lyrics Translation

I will share another KPop song (Japanese)…a live version of one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands XD. Darkness Eyes by DBSK (when they were together). I love Yunho’s hairstyle in this…he looks like a bishie out of an anime. I also like how Changmin does his pelvic thrusts (like “Oh yeah”) around 3:53 XD. Lyrics Translation

Lastly to finish this off I will post another one of my favorite piano pieces ~ River Flows In You by Yiruma.

Do you want to play a musical instrument or do you already do so? If so what would you like to be able to play? For me personally I would love Piano, Guitar and Violin ^_^;

I was also able to come up with a custom layout which makes me feel quite happy. The only thing left on my plate now is to practice hard on my piano skills XD. I am pretty much a starter so any sort of tips/advice is welcome! I don’t intend to play classical compositions anytime in the near future but if you have any simple, easy music sheet recommendations then go ahead. Right now I am practicing playing with both hands which should be interesting since my fingers are medium sized. The chords seem to require a lot of practice and hopefully, eventually I will get used to them. I would like to think that they will get as accustomed to a piano as they are to a QWERTY keyboard. (I know there’s various types of keyboards available and I am actually scared to even consider using a non-QWERTY keyboard lol). But maybe the piano will be a good experience to deviate away from the comfort of knowing the layout of a standard keyboard.

The sheets that are on my priority list right now are the songs from my favorite drama “You Are Beautiful” (미남이시네요). I have seen other people perform them on you-tube. This one is my favorite – a medley of  말도없이 +  여전히 + 약속 + Lovely Day. Someday I wish to be able to play as beautifully as the player in that video. Well practice makes perfect so I guess it’s time to go practice now!
