"Party in the USA" and "Let your love be strong" - Musical Monday

Hey all! Been busy with exams and also today is my parents' 25th Wedding Anniversary! :D So I was busy making preparations and forgot to post my Musical Monday atleast!
I have to rush since there's a lot to do. SO have a great day and listen to these two nice songs! :)



"Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus




Lyrics:


I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame, excess, whoa am I gotta fit in?
Jumped in the cab, here I am for the first time
Look to my right, and I see the Hollywood sign

This is all so crazy, everybody seems so famous
My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio

And the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on

So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!"
Movin' my hips like "Yeah!"

Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
And now I'm gonna be okay
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!

Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's lookin' at me now
Like "Who's that chick that's rockin' kicks
She's gotta be from out of town"

So hard with my girls not around me
It's definitely not a Nashville party
'Cause all I see are stilettos
I guess I never got the memo

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda homesick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the DJ dropped my favorite tune

And the Britney song was on
And the Britney song was on
And the Britney song was on

So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!"
Movin' my hips like "Yeah!"

Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
And now I'm gonna be okay
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!

Feel like hoppin' on a flight, on a flight
Back to my hometown tonight, town tonight
Something stops me every time, every time
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright

So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!"
Movin' my hips like "Yeah!"

Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
And now I'm gonna be okay
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!

So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!"
Movin' my hips like "Yeah!"

Got my hands up, they're playin' my song
And now I'm gonna be okay
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!
Yeah! It's a party in the USA!

"Let your Love be Strong" by Switchfoot




Lyrics:


In this world of news, I've found nothing new
I've found nothing pure
Maybe I'm just idealistic to assume that truth
Could be fact and form
That love could be a verb
Maybe I'm just a little misinformed

As the dead moon rises, and the freeways sigh
Let the trains watch over the tides and the mist
Spinning circles in our skies tonight
Let the trucks roll in from Los Angeles
Maybe our stars are unanimously tired

Let your love be strong, and I don't care what goes down
Let your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud
Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your eyes
All of my world hanging on your love

Let the wars begin, let my strength wear thin
Let my fingers crack, let my world fall apart
Train the monkeys on my back to fight
Let it start tonight
When my world explodes, when my stars touch the ground
Falling down like broken satellites

All of my world resting on your love

"Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Glamorous" by Fergie - Musical Monday

Hey all my dear readers! :D A happy new week to all of you! :D I hope you all are doing great. With final exams for this semester on my head, the schedule for me is quite hectic these days, so sorry if I'm unable to post frequently.



Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie




Lyrics


The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection, baby
To be with myself and center
Clarity, peace, serenity

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

The path that I'm walkin', I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry

Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and Uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine
Valentine

Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers
And share our secret worlds

But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself, and center
Clarity, peace, serenity

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

Glamorous by Fergie ft. Ludacris




Lyrics


Are you ready?
If you ain't got no money take your broke self home
If you ain't got no money take your broke self home

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

We flyin' first class up in the sky
We flyin' first class, livin' the life
In the fast lane and I won't change
By the glamorous, ooh, the flossy, flossy

The glamorous, the glamorous, glamorous
By the glamorous, ooh, the flossy, flossy
The glamorous, the glamorous, glamorous
By the glamorous, ooh the flossy, flossy

Wear them gold and diamonds rings, all them things don't mean a thing
Chaperons and limousines, shoppin' for expensive things
I be on the movie screens, magazines and boogie scenes
I'm not clean, I'm not pristine, I'm no queen, I'm no machine

I still go to Taco Bell, drive through, raw, yeah
I don't care, I'm still real, no matter how many records I?ll sell
After the show, after the Grammy?s I like to go cool out with the family
Sippin', reminiscing on days when I had a Mustang and now I'm

First class up in the sky
Flyin' first class, livin' my life
In the fast lane and I won't change
By the glamorous, ooh, the flossy, flossy

The glamorous, the glamorous, glamorous
By the glamorous, ooh, the flossy, flossy
The glamorous, the glamorous, glamorous
By the glamorous, ooh, the flossy, flossy

I got problems up to here, I got people in my ear
Tellin' me these crazy things that I don't want to know
I got money in the bank and I'd really like to thank
All the fans, I'd like to thank, thank you really though

'Cause I remember yesterday when I dreamt about the days
When I'd rock on MTV, that'd be really cool
Yeah, it's been a long road and the industry is cold
I'm glad my daddy told me so, he let his daughter know

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

We flyin' first class up in the sky
Flyin' first class, livin' my life
In the fast lane and I won't change
By the glamorous, ooh, the flossy, flossy

The glamorous, the glamorous, glamorous
By the glamorous, ooh, the flossy, flossy
The glamorous, the glamorous, glamorous
By the glamorous, ooh, the flossy, flossy

I shared these two songs for no reason! LOL I just recalled Fergie's name and shared 2 random songs by her. I hope you all like them, and not just her looks! LOL! :D Good Day! :)

"Pepper" by Butthole Surfers and "Loser" by Beck - Musical Monday

Hey all! :) Did I tell ya? I got a new laptop! :D :D :D :D It's Diwlai tomorrow so a lot of work to be done at home, decorations and all! :D It's fun and my favourite festival! :D For now you all enjoy these two songs and I'll try to post again soon! :)



"Pepper" by Butthole Surfers




Lyrics:


Mikey got with Sharon, Sharon got Sheriee
She was sharin' Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease
Mikey had a facial scar and Bobby was a racist
They were all in love dyin' they were doin' it in Texas
Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain then he lost his leg in Dallas he was dancin' with the train
They were all in love with dyin' they were drinkin' from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain
I don't mind the sun sometimes the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugar-y and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes
Some will die in hot pursuit and fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit while sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain
I don't mind the sun sometimes the images it shows

I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugar-y and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes
Another Mikey took a knife while arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death he caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever-present football player rapist they were all in love with dyin' they were doin' it in Texas
Paulie caught a bullet but it only hit his leg
While it should have been a better shot got him in the head
They were all in love with dyin' they were drinkin' from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain
I don't mind the sun sometimes the images it shows
I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugar-y and softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look through other people's eyes

"Loser" by Beck




Lyrics:


In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose

Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin' with a loser in the cruise control
Baby's in Reno with the Vitamin D
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love seat

Someone came in sayin' I'm insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve

So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin' all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park
Yo, cut it

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me?
(Double barrel buckshot)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
'Cause one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag
One's on the pole, shove the other in a bag

With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey neck and it's hangin' from a pigeon wing

You can't write if you can't relate
Trade the cash for the beef, for the body, for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin' on a termite
That's chokin' on the splinters

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
(Get crazy with the cheese whiz)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
(Drive-by body pierce)

Yo, bring it on down

I'm a driver, I'm a winner
Things are gonna change, I can feel it

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
(I can't believe you)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?
(Sprechen sie Deutsche, baby)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me?
(Know what I'm sayin'?)

Thanks all, I htink I must go now, see you all soon again! :) Take care! :D

Internet Explorer 10 - "Windows 8 Post Series" POST #1 - Tech Tuesday

Hey all my dear readers! :D I welcome you all on this beautiful Tuesday at my blog :D



A regular blog visitor asked me to post about Windows 8 on 26th October(the date of release). I said, "I will first check it out and then I will write about it. Though I have already posted bout the release preview if you wish to get a little overview sort of." Now that I have experienced Windows 8 for a few days, I can give some honest and worthy opinions. So I am starting this Post Series about Windows 8 and I will be posting about various topics in different posts. As the time will pass my experience would also get richer and I will be able to give even better reviews.

INTERNET EXPLORER 10


Let's start this post series about Windows 8 with Internet Explorer 10. Today I would cover everything I have got to know about this new Web Browser that MS launched with it's new funky Operating System.

TEST DRIVE IE10 HERE!


The first thing I would like you all to know is that INTERNET EXPLORER 10 IS NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR WINDOWS 7. Though Microsoft says it will be soon launching a preview of IE10 for Win7 too, but let's see. Anyways, as richer an experience for Windows 8, as per my thinking cannot be guaranteed in Windows 7 since in 8 we got two interface of IE10 which supposedly will be absent in 7. I mean only one the normal interface will be present and not the metro one. Let's talk about IE10 in Win8 now.

IE10: The Regular Desktop Interface



Checked the above screenshot? What is so special? LOL! NOTHING! :P IE10 hardly shows anything new over IE9 when it comes to a general desktop user's experience. But it has a lot of good and bads. Let's first take a look at the brighter side! :D

It crashes less for most websites. IE10 is quite cool and fast just like IE9 but still much better than 9 in that regard. But hey! don't compare it with the nightmare child IE8. LOL! That sucked! IE10 is much better. But then at the end of the day it will just be the MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER!!! It doesn't crash for most websites, but for those which ample HTML5, Java and other dynamic designs(except for ASP.NET), it will give a throat slitting experience! For example, Gmail looks good on IE10 until you start using it! hahahaha!! What happens is IE10 tries to switch to compatibility mode most of the times when you try to view a message in your inbox, and then, no one can save you! The series of hanging-crashing-recovering starts! Even with facebook the experience will be great until you use the facebook search!

Though it supports the third-party retail plugins so IE10 is not that bad and in the history of Internet Explorers it is comparable to IE9, the coolest one.

IE10: The Metro Interface



Now that's Windows 8 IE! haha! :D Just look at it, the idiotic metro interface on my desktop! grrrrrrr!! Just now Microsoft gets shocked - "IDIOTIC?" and I reply, "Hell yes!!" >_< What's so crazy about this metro interfaced IE10? It is foolish. It would let you watch videos without installing flash, maybe the Microsoft Silverlight at work already, but if you wish to install flash/java, FUCK OFF!! Seriously, this interface doesn't support any third party plug-ins. Though it's full screen and faster and reliable than the regular version with less chances of crashing. My personal opinion - If you use it in the regular interface, you'll have to wait for a couple of updates to be released to make it better. The Do not track service is okay sort of. If you surf for surfing only then you'll love Metro, but if you just go Berserk on the Internet, I say prefer the regular interface since it can give you a better experience supporting more fonts, and all. A better option is USE FIREFOX INSTEAD! LOL!!

Now let's see what others had to say about the IE10:

Geek.com:

Did anyone see this coming? Microsoft has steadily added privacy-related features to Internet Explorer over the past three releases. In IE10, there’s now support for Do Not Track, Tracking Protection Lists (which work even when a website doesn’t support DNT), and InPrivate filtering. Has Microsoft really taken the lead when it comes to building trust in the browser?

Webmonkey:

"Internet Explorer 10 is the first release of Microsoft’s once-dominant browser that’s built for use on touchscreen devices and, while IE 10 is the default browser on all Windows 8 machines, it’s on tablets that IE 10 really shines.

The entire IE 10 experience on a tablet revolves around gestures. By default the browser launches in Windows 8′s full-screen mode with little chrome or UI to see. To get to many features you need to use gestures — swipe down from the top and you’ll see the tab bar with thumbnail previews; swipe up from the bottom and you’ll see the URL bar.

Internet Explorer 10 adopts at least one idea popularized by Apple’s iOS — the ability to pin sites to your start screen. It’s nothing more than a bookmark really, but it makes getting to your favorite sites and apps a bit quicker and makes them feel more like first-class citizens on the start screen.

There’s also a version of IE 10 that runs in Windows 8 desktop mode, though on the desktop there’s not nearly as much to recommend IE over competitors. From tests I’ve seen around the web IE 10 benchmarks well on the desktop and, as we’ve looked at before, it has much improved web standards support, but without the touchscreen features there’s not much to recommend IE 10 over alternatives like Chrome or Firefox. If you’re an IE 9 fan looking for a solid update, IE 10 has you covered, if you’re already a happy Chrome or Firefox user there’s nothing in IE 10 on the desktop that’s likely to tempt you.

Unfortunately — and this may well be IE 10′s fatal flaw — there’s no way to make IE 10 the default app for the Windows 8 Metro UI and another browser the default for the desktop interface. It’s all or nothing.

For now IE 10 is better on touchscreens and more or less on par in the desktop interface, but both Chrome and Firefox release updates every six weeks, while feature-adding IE updates tend to be years apart. That means odds are Chrome and Firefox will reach feature parity on touchscreens before IE 10 sees a major update. Still, for the time being at least, IE 10 can claim the crown on Windows 8 tablets."


Webpronews:

The Internet Explorer 10 team came out today to proclaim that “IE10 is the Windows 8 browser.” Once again, it’s not like consumers have a choice at the moment, but it does seem pretty cool. IE10 was built with touch specifically in mind and Microsoft argues that it’s “the first browser that is perfect for Touch.”

Microsoft is so confident that IE10 changes everything that they made it the exclusive browser in Windows RT. They would prefer you to use it in Windows 8 Pro, but that’s a little more open. In fact, Google has already set up Windows 8 users with “GetYourGoogleBack,” a site that provides links to both Google Web Search and Google Chrome for Windows 8 users.


PCMag:

Not surprisingly, NSS Labs recommends choosing a browser that's effective at blocking malware downloads. Those who just can't bear to use Internet Explorer should make sure to use "antivirus suites with robust web reputation technologies." The full report, available on the NSS Labs website, offers an extremely detailed look at the test methodology.

So finally I would say that for the time being if you are using Windows 8, stick to IE10 only. Wait until we get our Firefox tailored perfectly for Win8 :D Anyways, I would take a leave now, I hope you all like the post. Take care and all comments and suggestions are welcomed always! :D

"Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Don't Cry" by Guns 'N' Roses - Musical Monday

Hello everyone and welcome again to my blog on this Musical Monday! :D And hey, Happy November!! :D :D It had been a busy week last week with exams and all. I thought this week to be a free one, but now I have got tonnes of work on my head again! Army coming for recruiting engineers under the UES at my college so that means it's gonna be a busy week with preparing the CV and all and more importantly it is going to be the first interview of my life!



"Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns 'N' Roses




Lyrics


She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long, I'd probably break down and cry

Whoa, oh, oh, sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm, safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass me by

Whoa, oh, oh, sweet child o' mine
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, sweet child o' mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, sweet child o' mine
Ooh, sweet love of mine

Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?

Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go now?

Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
(Sweet child)
Ooh, where do we go now?

Where do we go?
Oh, where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go ?

Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh, where do we now?

Now now now now now now now
Sweet child, sweet child o' mine

Don't Cry by Guns 'N' Roses




Lyrics


Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Something's changing inside you
And don't you know

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinking of you
And the times we had...baby

And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

And please remember that I never lied
And please remember how I felt inside now honey
You got to make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby

And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight

I hope you all enjoyed the two songs. Now I must take a leave. A lot of work to do arranging certificates, CV and all. So wish me luck! haha! :D See you all soon! :)
