a different kind of monday

I commenced my workweek yesterday by going out of the office early at 5 to go to Shibuya (CC Lemon Concert Hall) and watch Jason Mraz in concert!!!

The dude is just sooo cool!

He started off with "Make It Mine", then off to "The Remedy" where he let the audience sing a couple of lines, then "You and I Both".

Unexpectedly, he sang "Lucky" solo. Their live versions of "If It Kills Me" and "Live High" were really good and much much better than the CD cover perhaps because of Toca Rivera's blending in. I'm as much a fan of Toca Rivera as I am with Jason actually, cause the guy is just sooo damn good on 2nd vocals.

Zoey, Kitty, Maj and I had a great time raising our hands up with every "good job" on "Dynamo of Volition" and danced as well to "Butterfly" and "Life is Wonderful"

Though I was a bit disappointed he didn't sing "Bella Luna", still, I swooned with "A Beautiful Mess". My, this song is just so beautiful!! And of course the evening wouldn't be complete without "I'm Yours" though I think I called it a night already the moment he sang "A Beautiful Mess"..sigh..

Jason in Grammy's

I finally found some time to sit and look up the results of the 51st Grammy Awards last Feb 8 and check if Jason Mraz bagged the three awards for which he has been nominated; namely:

-Song of The Year
-Best Male Pop Vocal Performance
-Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical)

But huff and alas, he didn't make it. huhu. Nevertheless, Jason's still a winner for me =D. The guy is just sooo cool!!! And I can't sit tight waiting for our Feb 23 date (big grin!) =D

PS
I'm happy though that Adele bagged the "Best New Artist" and "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" (for Chasing Pavements) awards. Truly love her Chasing Pavements song and vid! Couldn't wait to try out the steps myself..hahaha

hearts' day

Happy Valentine's Day!

It sure is a freak day today here in Yokohama. It should be the dead of winter but it felt like the last days of Summer what with the 20degC temperature we had today. Kitty and I were walking around Minato Mirai wearing only short sleeves, with our coats in our hands.

I missed my winter! tsk tsk.

Quite a productive day today though, shoppingwise. Got mugged at Zara (yet again!) while Kitty was mugged at UCB haha! We were supposed to go ice skating but due to the vey hot weather, the ice rink turned to swimming pool. ~_~

Had a reaaaal nice lunch though at Salon de Nina (Paris) topped with the fruity flavored tea that you can't help but smile with satisfaction.

A nice valentines day..even though celebrated by a couple of singles..haha.
