GALILEO GALILEI AND ME
GALILEO GALILEI AND ME
Galileo Galilei is your type of rock band with a dog and children’s laughter all together at a small garage in a not so cold and cloudy day but with clear extracts of every instrument from the bass, synth, to the drums, guitar, and vocals that could bring out a little hint of warmth --- a bit of summer. Each song tells a timeless story of bittersweet nostalgia and love. It gives a sense of relief that at the end of the day, things are going to be okay.
Spring tour has ended.
early 2013: " 本当どうかしてるみたい ”
It was around early February that I *finally* convinced myself to watch the series AnoHana. The reason was that the anime title always ends up in front of my small laptop screen haha it was a bit shocking and weird. Before I knew it, I was naturally caught not only the story of the anime but also GG’s song that was resonating to me like an echo finding its way back. Gosh I hope I make sense ;_;
It was actually very hard to find a full version of Aoi Shiori . There were covers and squeaky full versions of the song but I just couldn’t find it on youtube. So I tried my hardest to find it in the deep corners of the internet and yesss I found it in super hd haha (●´ω｀●)
I searched crazy on the internet about GG and it seemed that this band wasn’t really that famous like other Japanese bands that pops up quickly when I search it on google. I remember when I finally found their music on youtube. I was so happy when I found their own official channel but turns out their channel wasn’t available in my country ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ but but there was one English channel who had most of their songs and at the very least there was someone who love their music as much as I do. Back then, one song used to be only 800 to 1000 views and the most viewed had only 4000. But still, they had awesome sounds and few people outside Japan loved them.
So I downloaded every song I liked in my old pink phone which is still in use for listening music --- Freedom, Arigatou Gomen Ne, Wakkanai, and the likes (▰˘◡˘▰). Too bad we could only get it on youtube and feel guilty to not buy their albums huhu.
After that, the movie trailer came out. AnoHana had another place of bittersweet nostalgia in my heart once again lol.
mid 2013: “ 時に追いやられ”
The movie was released on summer, August 31 in Japan. Of course, people outside Japan had to wait for the online/english subtitle releases for another year. But their ending theme song came out earlier than expected.
Circle Game was part of their new album ALARMS back then. When I first heard the song, with the english translation aside, it felt all indescribable that it *kinda* resulted to this blog (◡‿◡✿) we’ll get to that hihi.
There was this part of the song that caught me and it felt magical. Without realizing, I was writing, drawing, painting this phrase over and over again on my notebooks, journals, sketch pads, even at school... it was strange and interesting to me. I kept listening and listening until I drowned myself in uncertainty(??) aah I don’t know what I’m saying ;_;
2014: “ 曖昧なことも単純なことも”
That year, everyone was all in their own to fulfill what they had to do. Friends, family, people I look up to, everyone was fulfilling their dreams. “I could do that too”, seeing them in high spirits. To me, everything was yearning for action.
In October 2014, I finally had the guts to get things real with myself. To properly put my fragments of thoughts and little experiences of life in a tiny space on the internet, to have a small part of me in the vast interconnected system. And I decided a URL right away, the one that I’ve been fascinated: Chased away by time.
GG’s See More Glass (2014) album was uploaded and found my way back at the channel with most of GG’s songs for free. They still have that dream-rock vibe in them. More people were admiring GG, views went up to over a hundred thousand. It was insane haha.
Months later, they FINALLY got their official channel. “Finally, more music!!”, I thought that maybe they made the channel for more of their music to be witnessed by people outside Japan.
2016: “Sea and the Darkness”
Surprised. Shocked. What happened? Why?
I’m not going to see them live. Those thoughts of seeing these guys in a full sold-out live house will never come. Galileo Galilei has really made a great big bang in me. Three years? Not bad, I’m quite thankful (◡‿◡✿) hehe but I’m still going to print a GG shirt no matter what.
本当 に ありがとう ざいました。 - 花。

Galileo Galilei, my heroes. I'm gonna miss you guys ❤
☔ Green dewy grass and air getting cold horaaay but man June passed so quickly. Oh and I finally got a new journal last month after two years.
I know its like the first of July but I’m in the middle of all reality and stress with a pile of schoolwork to do huhu but I know all will be well. Keep reminding myself about the small things I see in town like the weird pink tricycle whose horn sounds like a rooster, a dog that looks like a hairless pig, the different kinds of birds living in the backyard, the homeless woman cooking breakfast early in the morning, the electric post that still grows branches and leaves on top of itself, or the cool skater dude with locks that passes by at school.
Yeah, we are definitely gonna be fine
prompts from pre-pandemic freshman year around uni:
daily mountain view, university beach, sea fan skeleton, and the canopy view when I used to lie down in the ecopark before a 9am class 🥺
guess it’s been more than a year without going tumblr lmao hello again ⛅🌿
Been listening to Reese since I got the CD and had to immediately rip out everything mwahaha. I also performed A Song About Space for a project hehe *space shuttles*
Last week’s weekend escape to Pamilacan Island! It was so nice and peaceful huhu my best afternoon naps were here (~￣▽￣)~
There was no “water” so we just washed our hair with salt water haha
Here Comes More Weird
Here’s to the weird and wonderful :)
Here comes more weeiiirrrd. (and the wonderful :)) )
I am proud to introduce these books of magic written by great senpais whom I really look up to. These books are the fruit of senpais’ sipag, tiyaga, dugo’t pawis and all other words that can say through their pusong mamon na pagsisikap. (lol im talking tagalog here im not even good with this) It’s nice to see that more passionate people near me have also the same love for this kind of art, and kawaii ;_; So note to self Justinne Hannah, you are not alone.
The Kawaii PH book was launched last June 17, 2015 and Abbey Sy’s book was launched last June 20, 2015 (my birthday huhu ;_;). Too bad I reaaallly couldn’t come to both events (why is this country an archipelago anyway). If were to come I’d definitely be in full support with you guys ;_;
“The Kawaii PH Book was created by the members and friends of the Kawaii Philippines team by compiling and sharing their stories, experiences, inspirations, blogs, and actions in order to help spread the meaning of kawaii and what makes every individual unique. The aim of the book is to enlighten people and educate the curious on what kawaii actually is, and what Kawaii PH does. “ - Kawaii PH
Proceeds of the book will go to www.kawaiifund.org
The Kawaii Fund is a fundraising campaign by Kawaii Philippines. One of Kawaii PH’s ways of making this happen is the book. They are also selling shirts and holding kawaii workshops like the upcoming dance workshop with cover group Seishun Kakumei. All of these will someday result to a kawaii dream for the community, Kawaii in Manila 3 / Kawaii in Asia. <3
So gambatte!! <3
THE ABCs OF HAND LETTERING by ABBEY SY
I was sooo happy they launched the book at the same time as my birthday (fangirling haha * *)
I just got this last week and after three months of searching and searching, it was finally available in my nearest NBS branch huhu. Turns out the book got sold out and I got the second printing (to be available in an isolated NBS branch) but still yaaay I got it the day before I proposed my thesis title (reality check lol)
Proposed my title and I can take a little relaxation and draw & paint again huhu it’s been a while ;_; More ahrt for meeee
Oh and also looking forward to to Reese’s first album soooon! MUST get a copy of her music * *
That’s probably it for now, ‘til next time!

五月 ｰ 七月 (June to July): ☁This journal is inspired by Reese’s aesthetic and Pixie’s iridescent life. 💕 ☁ Ate spicy sunflower seeds and it was good. ☁ Nasal allergies. ☁ “Fusion-y” tea. ✨ ☁ Secret autograph of Reese I will forever keep. ☁ Just saying I’ve learn a lot from Ate Kaila. 💕🌈
My problem with notebooks and journals is that I’m not worthy enough to use them because I might ruin there beauty. Another reason why I take days to finish a page > < But I love them still.
Looking forward to Shinkai’s newest film!!
Some stills from “Your Name” Director Makoto Shinkai’s new film “Weathering With You” (天気の子 Tenki no Ko, “Child of Weather”) in Japanese cinemas 19th July 2019.
