Playing Songs While Studying

As a crammer, I find it easy to study and read the TOXIC atlas of human anatomy and physiology books whenever I study while playing my favorite songs. 


So here are my top 10 favorite songs that I usually play during study periods. Most of them are not the original ones but then I find other versions better than the original plus I find them pleasant to my ears.  =)


Light of a Million Mornings- Philippine Madrigal Singers


Very Special Love by Philippine Madrigal Singers

And I also dreamed of becoming one of the UP Madz! lol! What a dreamer! Gotta wake up. Jackie, bugtaw!




Just The Way You Are (Bruno Mars)- Girl Version by Kim Trinidad

I've been searching of the girl version of this song. Luckily, here it is! Thanks to Kim Trinidad, my idol in our campus during College. =D




Teenage Dream - Katy Perry (Boyce Avenue piano acoustic cover)




LADY GAGA - Born This Way (Cover) by Maria Aragon

I like this song and the singer. She just looked like my youngest sister OMG! 0_0




Steep by Lauren Christy

Oh! I remember when I was 3, I heard this song and I just cried even if I didn't know the message of the song. Haha! What a weird kid!




Thunder (Boys Like Girls)- Princess Velasco version

Bad Romace (Lady Gaga)- Acoustic Version by Princess

JUST A LITTLE FACT ABOUT LISTENING TO MUSIC WHILE STUDYING
In the 1990s, listening to the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was thought to increase spatial abilities, but subsequent research failed to find the same effect. However, debates on whether or not the use of music while studying promotes easy learning remains inconclusive despite of so many researches about the effect of listening to music while studying. The differences in the effects of music could lie upon the person's ability to overcome distraction as well as the varied range of concentration. 


I know.. right???

That Thing Called Cadaver




I wonder what they looked like 
   when they were still living.
  I wonder how they lived 
 when they were 
still breathing.
      What circumstances have they been through?
     Have they also screamed with joy or cried in woe?
 I wonder if they know what they have become today.
'Coz if they knew about it, I think they'd say,
"Oh, baby, 
I didn't want 
   to turn out this way."
and if they do, oh no! 
only the brave ones can stay!
Lifeless, stiff, and stinky-- they turn others very blue.
But I do believe, they make my dreams come true!
So rejoice while you are still living, and always respect the dead
And don't let the dissection room become your deathbed.



Dissection time!


A brief history of cadavers

The methods of preserving cadavers, and their acquisition, have changed over the last 200 years. Criminals who were executed for their crimes were used as the first cadavers. The demand for cadavers increased when the number of criminals being executed decreased. Since corpses were in such high demand, it became commonplace to steal bodies from graves in order to keep the market supplied.
