Hallelujah Performed by Matthew Schuler and by Rufus Wainwright

I believe that music gives people energy and makes them happy and comfortable. For the reason, one of TV programs that I like is “The Voice.”

This past Monday, in the Voice Live Top 12 Performances(Season 5), Matthew Schuler sang “Hallelujah,” one of my favorite songs. Watching him singing, I was so impressed that I have listened to the song again and again. Many viewers might feel like me. While he was sing Hallelujah, his voice was so soft and beautiful that most audiences on the spot seemed to be deeply moved. Finally, he got a ticket being able to perform in Top 10 Performances next Monday. That’s why I want to post Hallelujah Matthew Schuler sang. Here it is.


 There is another version of Hallelujah performed by Rufus Wainwright whose cover of the Leonard Cohen song is on the soundtrack album of Shrek in 2001.



Listen to two different versions of Hallelujah, and feel how different they are.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Funny Book

Searching something on Google, I accidentally started to read “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” by Jeff Kinney a few days ago. The book has been published in a serial form. It is a popular fiction book for children.

It is so funny that I cannot stop reading it. Reading the book, I’m giggling alone even though I’m an adult. :) If somebody looks at me giggling, he or she might feel that I'm like a silly person. If you read it, you may be the same as me. :)

I have been reading its first book on this website: http://www.funbrain.com/journal/Journal.html?ThisJournalDay=1&ThisPage=1. The website is that I visited by accident and then that I started to read “Diary of a Wimpy kid”.

Reading this book, I wondered how many volumes it has completed, so I visited Amazon.com. I figured out that its eighth book came out last week and becomes #1 bestseller on Amazon.com. 

After book 1, I’d like to read until the latest book 8 as soon as possible.

How to Unlock a Screen Lock Pattern

A smart phone is one of my closed friends because I use it every day and it is always there for me. I think that not only I but also most people have such an idea. 

When I used my android phone at first, I set up a screen lock with my face.  However, it was so inconvenient that I changed to a screen lock pattern. Surprisingly, one day, I forgot the pattern I used every day. I could not believe my eyes at that instant. How come did I forget it? I tried the security pattern 20 times to unlock. Unfortunately, I could not access my phone. I had never thought about forgetting my security pattern. It was really absurd. Finally, I figured out that 20 tries are the maximum limit to unlock the pattern.  Even though it was a short time, my skull was crammed with too many thoughts.

However, I could fortunately access my phone, using my Google account. The way to unlock my phone was easier than I expected because I set up a Google account.  If you have experience like me, don’t be upset and use your Google account and password.

I learned from this happening that I should not make a difficult pattern. Nevertheless, I still can not understand how I could forget the pattern used every day. I hope no more such a ridiculous happening again.
