Chorus

Today we will be discussing the different songs that Christine and I both enjoy listening to. Now, the following are critiques or analysis or anything fancy but just simply if we like the songs or not. Pretty much every time that Christine and I are in Serena, the music is always playing. We hope you enjoy reading the list:

You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift
This is pretty much Christine's favorite song. Sometimes she just listens to it waaay tooo much. The first time that I listened to this song was at an ASB meeting when pretty much all the other ASB officers except for Kevin made me watch the music video for this song because of its ridiculous cuteness. Christine claims that the video is the cutest music video she's ever seen. Honestly, I don't know. Not that I'm saying I've seen a cuter one, it just seemed too cliche for my taste. So that's that. You Belong With Me is pretty much our standby song if we have nothing else to listen to because Christine likes it so much.

The Sharpest Lives - My Chemical Romance
This is my favorite song that both Christine and I listen to. I don't think that she likes it very much because it can get kind of intense at some points and Christine doesn't like that. But I really enjoy that so we have to compromise every now and then. Other than that, there isn't much to say about this song except that the other songs in the same album are pretty awesome as well. Check out Teenagers, Cancer, Famous Last Words, and Welcome to the Black Parade.

PS There is what sounds like a rather inappropriate part in the song. See if you can find it.

Defying Gravity - Glee Version
Yeah I wasn't expecting this song to be on here either. The only reason is because we have a funny story that goes along with it. One time when Christine and I were out during 3rd period and we had to stop by my house really quick we were driving back on Orange towards school. So this song was playing and I was getting really excited for some reason and on the part where the singer sings "DEFYING GRAVITY" I enthusiastically stuck my hands and upper body out the window and started singing. Unbeknownst to those around us, my actions attracted the attention of an old asian man on the other side of the street. After I had re-entered the vehicle the man began to wave excitedly towards me. Of course I waved back but that was our interesting experience while listening to this song.

Fireflies - Owl City
So everyone loves this song to death *cough* Panos *cough* and we're not sure why. We've actually discussed this topic before but come up with no answers. If you guys can figure that out let us know in the comments. If you're just as confused as we are, shoot us a couple theories.

Day 'n' Nite - Kid Cudi
I absolutely despise this song but for some really strange reason, Christine really likes it. I know she's a total weirdo, it doesn't make any sense. This song, in my opinion, is boring, lame, badly written, and has no appeal to the common teenager. Christine's argument is that "the song is soo cool hehehe". Yeah I know what you're thinking.

Russian Roulette - Rihanna
This is my current favorite/obsession song. I go through these kind of things about once or twice per week and as I'm writing this I am also listening to this rather interesting song. I think it first started when I heard a performance of it done at the Marquesas Winter Showcase. I did watch the youtube video before but honestly it did not impress me much. After that singing performance however, it sounded so much better. Christine has no comment on this song because she's currently sleeping on webcam.

Good Girls Gone Bad - Cobra Starship
As it is rather difficult to extract information from a sleeping Christine, I will do my best to tell you all what I know about this song solo. I believe it's been her obsession song for at least two weeks now. I'm guess Christine just really likes the singing and the different beats and stuff. Honestly I don't really know but it is a rather good song. Also, apparently Blair from Gossip Girl sings in this song. *shrug*

Sweet Caroline - Glee Version
Sweet Caroline by Glee is the song that Christine and I both agreed was our favorite as a couple. I'm not sure how this came to be but it is a really nice beautiful catchy song. I really encourage you to check it out. Try both the old and the glee version they are both really good. Nothing really more to say except this song is awesome.

This is not a very interesting post. If you got through the whole thing kudos to you. Sorry guys finals studying and also has sucked up time like a sponge.

Celebrations & Consumerism

'Ello! We have not blogged for quite a while so we're going to catch you up on the fabulous lives of Chris and Christine! So last week was Thanksgiving (yay for a short school week!) which also meant Black Friday/UC&USC APPS.

For my Thanksgiving my uncle and aunt and LITTLE REALLY CUTE COUSIN (who's REALLY smart) came over! We had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with the turkey and homemade mashed potatoes and STUFFING (YUMMMMY Daniel ;)) & the whole shebang. It was very yummmmy. We didn't really do much, although we did watch Jeopardy! (as is our family's custom during these annual get-togethers).

For Chris's Thanksgiving, he went to his aunt's house and got together with these 4 other families, and altogether they had 7 boys (including them) and 2 girls. They played Super Smash Brothers (which Chris and Ryan dominated, of course) & watched Aliens in the Attic (with Ashley Tisdale! who is quite pretty according to Chris. Although Sharpay's character has completely ruined his mental image of her) which was not very good..but its okay! They also watched Mythbusters! And learned how to use DUCT TAPE! and make a POTATO GUN out of it! He says dinner was quite yummy, although the turkey was kinda dry and his uncle made this AMAZING sticky rice! YUM.

The next day, we went BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING w/ Elaine at Great Mall! This was Chris's first time Black Friday shopping, but it was my third year in a row Black Friday shopping at Great Mall ( =O ). We woke up at 6:30am to go to the mall (remember that time in your head), which is not as intense as those inTENSE people who like go like at midnight, but the mall was packed anyways. So we started walking around the mall, and the first place we saw was the Coach outlet. The sales must have been AMAZING because the line was way out the door and into the empty store next door. We kept walking, stopping occasionally at girly-ish stores like Papaya and Forever 21 (which Chris did not appreciate very much. also, Forever 21 has the SHORTEST dresses EVER. which Chris appreciated more I think). & we also saw Britni! But finally we got to Chris's store, HOLLISTER. (also, Chris bought these jeans at PacSun, but they're too tight, so he says if anyone is willing to return them for him he'll be eternally grateful :)). So we shopped around some more, went into all these stores. I didn't buy too much, but Elaine and Chris went a little KUH-RAZY :)

Also throughout Great Mall are all these little kiosks. After passing the traditional hermit crab display (where the lady was shoveling the hermit crabs like there was no tomorrow), we also saw this really cool place with these tshirts that had these lights and stuff that like lit up to music and rhythms! And then we were like...that's like a shirt Will Amoura would have! COOL. We also saw a kiosk selling SNUGGIES for a $25/2 deal..AMAZING RIGHT! But then no one wanted to buy one with me :( poooooopie. (WATCH THIS VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdY7Adc1LRM). Also the mall was FULL of these little booths for people to sign up if you wanted to be a model! and there was even like a RUNWAY in the mall...awkward.

Also! We went to the Verizon store. This was almost the funnest part of the whole day. So we discovered that you can actually send real texts from the phones in the Verizon store, so we decided to have a little funnn. We started sending a certain someone these creeepy texts (ex// ______, I know where you live. _________, I know your middle name.) I think he got kind of scared..but it was so funny! HAHHAHA. Okay the end :) Sorry for scaring you!

So finally it was the end of our shopping adventure. Exhausted, we found a couch at a Starbucks, sat down, and waited for my mommy to come pick us up, which she finally did at 2:30pm (I hope you remember what time we got there. that was like, the LONGEST SHOPPING TRIP EVER.) And then after we dropped off Chris and Elaine, I went shopping again at Target! yay!

Finally, the last things of our weekend, we both turned in our apps for UCs/USC, like many other seniors out there :) We hope you guys all didn't have trouble turning them in & good luckk!

ALSO. Chris is getting the Samsung Rogue this Friday, so if you see his new phone, please compliment it :) Okay the end! Only a few more weeks until break!

Love,
Christine & Chris
