Whew! Finally. The second installment of the Summer Mixtape series is long overdue but here it is, and I’d like to think it was worth the wait. :) A couple of requests before asked for ‘roadtrip’ playlists, and this one’s especially made for your summer getaway/s!

Download! I swear to go back to regular Mixtape Monday updating, too… so keep posted! :)

P.S. Photo :) And I’m taking requests again. Happy summer!

Happy Mixtape Monday! I’m sorry about the requests that have been unaddressed for too long :( But here’s one that’s coincidentally inspired by the movie I just watched— Like Crazy (scroll down for my two cents, Haha). Was able to prepare this before things got busy because I’ve always fancied stories of long distance relationships. I don’t care if you’re countries or cities apart— it’s always heartwarming to hear about relationships that have thrived and survived despite the distance. Here’s a Happy/Sad playlist for all the hearts apart! :)

1. We’re So Far Away - Mae
2. Asleep at the Wheel - Goot
3. Up in the Stars - Swimming with Dolphins
4. Everytime - Lincoln Hawk
5. She Was Mine - AJ Rafael
6. Plans - Plug In Stereo
7. Dare for Distance - Never Shout Never
8. From Where I’m Standing - Schuyler Fisk
9. Miles Away - Treaty of Paris
10. If It Means a Lot to You - A Day to Remember

Because technically, today is tomorrow, so here goes.

It’s that time of the year again— (EDIT: SNOW ANGELS NO MORE!) Happy first Mixtape Monday of December! I had Ate Angel’s TA in mind while putting together all these songs and it dawned on me that she was right— Christmas songs do make you feel sad, in a gut-tugging heartstrings-pulling sort of way. Maybe it’s ‘cause no Christmas is exactly the same as another; could always be better, could also be worse. Either way, Christmas is and will always be my favorite holiday, and I hope it just gets better and better for all of us! :) 19 days to go! I love this playlist <3

Heee. I’m supposed to have Ate Ellis’ mixtape up tonight, but I don’t have my memory card with me so I can’t post it! Huhu sorry, love you! Before 2011 ends, promise! Hahaha. :)

Anyway, here’s a contingency mix which would have to be one of my favorites! It’s been sitting around my drafts for so long now, Haha. :) We’ve all had our fair share of the ‘hanging’ feeling— mixed signals, bipolar actions and too much uncertainty; but sometimes all we need is a handful of songs that say what we need to say especially when we’re unsure, when we don’t know what to do or when we’re scared of what could be and what couldn’t. Click and share, because nothing beats not knowing where you stand.

1. Tongue Tied - October Fall

We’re a day early for Mixtape Monday because we’re celebrating with Ria and Ashley! :) Meet person X and Y, one of the awesome-st couples to have around. They’re both instant pick-me-ups and just seeing them happy makes me feel good inside! <3 You wouldn’t believe these two; a couple of weeks ago, Ria asked for a mixtape and wanted to keep it a secret from Ashley. A few days ago, Ashley TA-ed me for one and wanted to keep it a secret from Ria, too! Ain’t that sweeeet? You can’t imagine how much I found that cute, so SURPRISE SURPRISE, you two! :)

Thanks to them, this week’s mix is love infested, enough to make up for the past two weeks’ sad line-ups Haha. So if you’re in the mood for a feel-good Anniversary playlist, Click and share away! :)

Hi guise! I’ve decided to make the Halloween playlist a Mixtape Monday special (naks) rather than a regular mix so we could all give way to You’re Goin’ Down, a playlist I made for Cre :) Her instructions were very clear: “I don’t want happy. I want angry and sad.” Hahaha this was a bit challenging ‘cause I’ve no idea what type of music she likes, but I really enjoyed putting together these songs. My bond with this girl is founded upon org work, shitty relationships and lame comedy… but if there’s one thing I know, it’s that no guy or slut on earth can bring this woman down (You are forced to agree Cre). She’s the type of girl you can’t help but root for ‘cause you just know that she can do it, whatever ‘it’ is. Hahaha cheesy! Anyway, if you also want to curse someone and mope at the same time, this one’s for you too! Click and share! :)  

1. In Memory - Brightwood
2. Starving Your Friends - Envy on the Coast
3. Done Stealin’ - Carolina Liar
4. Revenge is Sweeter (Than You Ever Were) - The Veronicas
