Verses for Birch3

Verses from Benjamin Button

2009-07-25T14:45:00.003+08:00

"I don't think I have worms. This' just how I am." - B. Button

B. Button: "I was born old."
Thomas Button: "I'm sorry."
B. Button: "No need to be. There's nothing wrong with old age."

*eating caviar* "Savor it... and don't eat it all at once... 'cause that way, there's nothing left to enjoy... oh.. and then on, take a bit of swallow of vodka while it's still in your mouth." - some girl from the Russian Port of Murmansk

"It's a funny thing about coming home... looks the same, smells the same, feels the same... you realize what's changed is you." - B.Button

"You can be mad as a mad dog at the way things went, you can swear and curse things.. but when it comes to the end, you have to let go."

"for what its' worth, it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. there is no time limit. stop whenever you want. you can change or stay the same. there are no rules to this thing. we can make the best or the worst time. i hope you make the best of it. and i hope you see things that startle you. and i hope you feel things that you never felt before. i hop e you meet people with a different point of view. i hope you live a life you're proud of. if you find that you're not, i hope you have the strength to start all over again." - Benjamin's letter to his daughter

"some people were born to sit by a river. some get struck by lightning. some have an ear for music. some are artists. some swim. some know buttons. some know shakespeare. some are mothers. And some people... dance." - button

Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard
Once OST

------------------------

Across the Universe

2008-02-15T18:37:00.002+08:00

one nice movie :) using beatle's songs for its OST
=======================
Girl
Jim Sturgess & The Beatles
Across the Universe OST

Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She´s the kind of girl you want so much
It makes you sorry
Still you don´t regret a single day

Ah girl! girl! girl!

When i think of all the times
I´ve tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me
And i believe her
After all this time i don´t know why

Ah girl! girl! girl!

She´s the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there
You feel a fool

When you say she´s looking good
She acts as if it´s understood
She´s cool oh! oh! oh!

Girl! girl! girl!

Was she told when she was young
That pain would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back
To earn his day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he´s dead?

Oh girl! girl! girl!

It all comes back to you - Coca Cola Theme Song

2008-02-10T13:15:00.000+08:00

Coca Cola released a commercial last year themed after the GTA PC game.
Nice background song...
Looking for the lyrics just popped into my head and I got this full lyrics...
Don't actually like the whole song much :D only the last part was used in the Coke commercial
An mp3 download link and the full lyrics can be seen here => link

====================
We could've been anything
That we wanted to be
And it's not too late to change
I'd be delighted to give it some thought
Maybe you'll agree that we really ought
Two, three, four

We could've been anything
That we wanted to be
Yes, that decision was ours
It's been decided we're weaker divided
Let friendship double up our powers

We could've been anything
That we wanted to be
And I'm not saying that we should
But if we try it, we'd learn to abide it
We could be the best at being good guys

Flowers of the earth
Who can even guess how much
A real friend is worth
Good guys, shake an open hand

Maybe trusting
If we try to understand
No doubt about it
It must be worthwhile
Good friends do tend to make you smile

We could've been anything
That we wanted to be
Yes, that decision is ours
It's been decided we're weaker divided
Let friendship double our powers

You give a little love
And it all comes back to you
(Da da da ra da da da)
You know you gonna be remembered
For the things you say and do
(Da da da ra da da da)

You give a little love
Andit all comes back to you
(Da da da ra da da da)
You know you gonna be remembered
For the things you say and do
(Da da da ra da da da)

Stupid for You by Marie Digby

2008-01-30T15:52:00.000+08:00

this is something i found in youtube... :) the lyrics are great... the music makes it a lot greater... i don't like the video that much though so im not posting it here.. don't get me wrong... the vid is cute ;)) and so is the singer :)
click on the title to listen to the music ;)

===============================================
It's not everyday
that i find a person quite like you
perfect every way
i finally found the nerve to confess that it's you - that i want
i don't care if i act a fool
i would damn near beg for you !
put aside, all my pride
so don't keep me hanging here
cause this girl is falling stupid for you..
stupid for you..

the proper thing to do
is for me to act like a lady and wait
for you to make the first move
but i don't think you're getting the point
that it's you - that i want
i don't care if i act a fool
i would damn near beg for you
put aside, all my pride
so don't keep me waiting here
cause this girl is falling stupid for you!
oh, oh stupid for you

why's it always feel like i am
chasing love when nothing's there
and here i go just making the same mistake...

i've fallen stupid for you...

i carry your heart with me

2007-10-21T14:02:00.000+08:00

a poem i found among my mails...

--------------------------
i carry your heart with me
by e. e. cummings

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Chasing Cars

Chasing Cars
by Snow Patrol

We'll do it all Everything On our own

We don't need Anything Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know How to say How I feel

Those three words Are said too much They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads

I need your grace To remind me To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Upside Down

2007-05-05T19:40:00.000+08:00

Upside Down
by 6Cyclemind

I’ve been spending some time, thinking i’d be alright
Don’t know if I could really make it tonight
Lie awake in the dark, come down then I start
Thinking about you is almost breaking my heart

I don’t know where I went wrong, or what’s going on
Baby, I fell like our love’s lost tonight
Should I stay, should I go? Well, I really don’t know
Lately I’ve been missing you so

Baby, you don’t understand our love lies lost
But you’re still holding my hand
Oh and then you walk away
Just tonight, I want you to stay

You’re turning me on, you turn me around
You turn my whole world upside down

Everytime I hurt you, well it’s hurting me too
Don’t know if I could really stay here tonight
Tired of thinking of you, I never think that you do
Tell me what am I supposed to do

Well, I just wanted to say that I need you today
Tell me it’s all gonna work out alright
I don’t know where I should I start
But with all of my heart
Baby let me be your lover tonight

Oh you know, you turn me upside down
You know, you turn me upside down

--------------------
i wonder who did the original version of this :-?

let me cry

2007-05-03T22:58:00.000+08:00

something i found among my junk...
----------------------------------
LET ME CRY - Birch3

let me cry 'cause i want to
these tears have been welling up
for quite a time now
but i never had the time
never really had the courage to shed these tears
up til now

let me cry 'cause i need to
the years have passed without you
for quite a time now
but i never had the reason
never really had the courage to let you go
up til now

lots of times i'd want to turn back time
and live all those days together
time and time again
i'd live it all over

but i can never turn back time
i can only move on
hoping something good is waiting
but for now, let me cry
and for a brief moment, let me relive those years
full of laughter and not of tears

2007-05-03T11:50:00.000+08:00

somebody save me

2007-05-02T20:55:00.000+08:00

i wanna be an ice man
a man made of ice
devoid of feelings
empty of fears
but still able to save the day

i wanna be superman
a man of steel
able to fly and see the world
from a different view
but still able to save the world

i wANNa be spiderman
swinging from heights
relying on speed from gravity
and loved by mary jane
and still able to save new yourk city

i wanna be green hulk
able to release all his steam
by being nasty and green
strong and invulnerable
but still able to save everyone

i wanna be a superhero
i wanna be a hero to someone
but i am just me
and i wanna save my sanity

Still Crazy

2007-04-28T09:40:00.000+08:00

Still Crazy by Paolo Nutini

Shut me out completely, that would not be such a sin.
Lock up every entry, make sure that there’s no way for me to get in
Won’t try to pry them open,
Never mind knock upon your doors.
Truth is that there’s no reason for me to even see your face anymore.

But I need your ears and I need them now I’ve got something to say,
I’m not here today to win you back just to remind you that...

Sure as the rain starts to fall,
Yes I’ll always remember you dear.
And though we don’t talk anymore.
I was crazy for you; yes I was crazy for you, that’s for sure.

Nothings ever easy, I think we both know that it’s true.
I was convinced you loved me, and I was pretty sure that I loved you too,
When was our final moment whats your favourite might have beens.
When was my fatal error that changed the way you thought of me ever since.

Cos I made you smile and I made you laugh,
i made nice gestures and surprised you enough?
But I made you come, but I made you cry,
I wish this was true but I’m not gonna lie.

So sure as the rain starts to fall,
Yes I’ll always remember you close
And though we don’t touch anymore.
I was crazy for you; I’m still crazy for you, that’s for sure.
Still crazy for you, still crazy for you, still crazy for you.

---------------------
I think the music and rendition of this one tugs at the heart.
Obviously, it tugged at mine.
This just goes to show that I WAS crazy, AM crazy and STILL AM crazy about someone.

Home

2007-04-11T20:08:00.000+08:00

got this from a link from youtube's popular 'happy slip'
nice message and soothing melody
this guy should join american idol to earn bigtime
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Home - Josh Verdes

I've done my time in this crazy world
What trails have I left behind?
But no matter what I've done, I know
I can always come home

So take me home
From the beach to the bay
Take me home
To good ol' Cambridge Way
Take me home
Cuz there's nowhere else I'd rather be
Than to come back to the place that made me....me
I'm coming home

And when I see this world
And all it has to offer
I know I'll stand amazed
But no matter what I see
I know theres just no place like home

Bridge:
No matter what road I take
It never feels quite the same
And yet it's all the same
So here I am another night
I can't ignore you, 64 you bring me more than words can say
You bring me home

I'm Yours

2007-03-25T23:24:00.000+08:00

on my current playlist... i like everything about this: music and lyrics
i guess i'm falling for 'island style'
----------------------------
I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but your so hot that i melted
I fell right through the cracks, and i'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out i'll be givin it my best test
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love
listen to the music at the moment maybe sing with me
Ah, la peaceful melody
It's your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved Loved

So, i won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm sure
there's no need to complicate our time is short
this is our fate, i'm yours

I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
my breath fogged up the glass
and so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm a sayin'is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, i'm sure
(there's no need to complicate
our time is short
it cannot wait, i'm yours 2x

no please don't complicate, our time is short
this is our fate, im yours.
no please don't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, the sky is yours!)

well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la one big family
it's your god forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved
open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la happy family
it's our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la peaceful melodies
it's you god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved...

Chloe's Love Letter to Clark

2007-03-20T13:10:00.000+08:00

Dear Clark,

I wanna let you in on a secret. I’m not who you think I am. In fact, my disguise is so thin, I’m surprised you haven’t seen right through me.

I’m the girl of your dreams masquerading as your bestfriend. Sometimes I want to rip off this facade like I did at the Spring formal, but I can’t. Because you’ll get scared and you’ll run away again. So I decided it’s better to live with a lie than expose my true feelings.

My dad told me there are two types of girls—the ones you grow out of and the ones you grow into. I really hope I’m the latter. I may not be the one you love today, but I’ll let you go for now, hoping one day you’ll fly back to me, because I think you’re worth the wait.

Chloe

desiderata

2007-03-07T21:51:00.000+08:00

i've read this poem a maybe a dozen of time already since i was a kid... but it's just lately, when someone forwarded it to me, that i realized it had a deeper meaning...
and it's something we could apply in our daily living...
in case you'r wondering, the title's latin for "desired things"

-----------------------
Desiderata
©1927 by Max Ehrmann, all rights reserved.
©renewed 1954 by Bertha Ehrmann

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be
greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career
however humble;
it is a real possession in the
changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you
to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit
to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham,
drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Free HUGS!!!

2007-03-05T23:42:00.000+08:00

nice campaign... i thought this started in korea... there's always someone out there who needs a hug...
here's the video for the Free Hugs campaign. i like the music to this vid so i also listed the lyrics... :)
-----------------------

here's the lyrics to the song...
=======================
All The Same - Sick Puppies
FreeHugsCampaign Theme

I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly

I don't care no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually
What you'll do

I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden

And I have the skill, yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am

I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's always the same

Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
It's all the same

In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same

Go ahead say it you're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

season of smiles

2007-03-05T10:54:00.000+08:00

a song made for the christmas season... but i consider this one an all-season song... smile: this is one virus you'd want infecting :)

------------------------------
Season of Smiles
by Itchyworms

It’s Christmas and you’re feeling down
I’m gonna pass the smile around
It’s gonna bring me closer to you

One smile will take away your frown
One smile will turn your day around
This season, there’s no time to be blue

Don’t forget to wear a smile
You’ll never know who’s smiling back at you

Every time I see you
I hear there’s something that’ll make you smile
So kiss me if you want to
Don’t you worry if we’re apart
I hope this season
Will be a reason enough to make you smile

This Christmas, if you’re all alone
One smile will make you feel at home
I wanna bring you closer to me

One smile will make the season shine
This time, I wanna make you mine
I wanna spend this season with you

Every time I see you

hope and grace

2007-03-04T18:29:00.000+08:00

here's something from Prison Break... it's a dialogue between Fernando Sucre and an old man(widower) he met on the bus on his trip going to Maricruz

--------------------
Old Man: You running away from something?
Sucre : Toward something...
Old Man: A man living on hope... *frowns*
Sucre : You say that like it's a bad thing...
Old Man: Hope is for people who do not already live in grace.
--------------------

i think it's a nice feeling to live in grace

depth perception

2007-03-03T10:08:00.000+08:00

here's something i like listening to from One Tree Hill soundtrack
---------------------------------
Rest In Pieces - Saliva

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did
It has not healed with time
It just shot down my spine

You look so beautiful tonight
Reminds me how you laid us down
And gently smiled before you destroyed my life

Would you find it in your heart
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
You got much closer than I thought you did
I'm in your reach
You held me in your hands

But could you find it in your heart?
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces
Would you find it in your heart?
To make it go away
And let me rest in pieces

GA episode summary

"The truth hurts — so we lie."
- Ellen Pompeo, Grey's Anatomy

--------------------
Just saw the end part of an episode of Grey's Anatomy. The setting and dialogue was ok but what really caught me was the lead lady's ending line which sums almost everything up.

Babe

2006-12-31T08:10:00.000+08:00

there are some things i really like listening to...
these are one of them...

*****************
I Got You Babe - UB40

They say we're young and we don't know
Won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know if baby that's true
Cause you've got me baby, I've got you

Babe, I've got you babe, I've got you, Babe.

They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned our money's always spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a lot
At least I'm sure we've all the things we've got

Babe, I've got you babe, I've got you, Babe.

I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're around
And when I get scared you're always around
So let them say your hair's too long
I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain`t no hill or mountain we can't climb

Babe, I've got you babe, I've got you, Babe.

I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you and I won't let go
I got you to love me so

I got you, babe

You're Beautiful

2006-12-30T00:01:00.000+08:00

a perfect song for the one i met sometime ago... we've shared glances and smiles and a handful of words but one thing i really do regret that night: i wasn't able to get her even her name. so this is for her coz she's beautiful, it's true but it's time to face the truth: i'll never be with you

-------------------------
You're Beautiful
James Blunt

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was flying high.
And I don't think that I'll see her again,

But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.

I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.

There must be an angel with a smile on her face
When she thought up that I should be with you.

But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

d~_~b You're my lifetime guarantee do.ob

2006-11-21T23:11:00.000+08:00

this is from Grey's Anatomy OST i downloaded
I cudn't find any lyrics for this song onlyn
but I really like the song: lyrics, music and all, so i jotted down its lyrics
here goes:

-----------------
All I Need
FirstCom - Grey's Anatomy Soundtrack

Crazy days, dreamin' in the midday sun
Miles away, thinking 'bout the things that I've done
I can't stay, time to hit the road agaaaaaain aaaain

I ran along, cruisin' down an empty road
So long, hundred million miles ago
Same song playing on the radiooooo ooohhohh

You know the days, the days gone by
It's like they never end until tomorroooow

'Cause you are all I need
You're my lifetime guaranteeeeee
You are all I neeeeed to be free
'Cause I know to think of you
When I'm down and I'm feeling blueeee
You are all I neeeeed to be free
I need to be free

Sunny day, staring at the bluelit sky
Many ways to dream and watch the world go by

You are all I neeeeed to be free

birch3's autumn

2006-11-12T00:18:00.000+08:00

Something fell - a birch from a tree
Straight down to the raging sea
Sank to the calm sandy bottom
There crawling... inch-by-inch...
To someplace full with leaves of autumn

BIG as the SKY

2006-11-11T22:03:00.000+08:00

Big As The Sky
AM60

Everytime I go to bed, I dream of you
Everytime I eat icecream, it reminds me of you
Everytime I sit on a bench to pass the time,
all i can do, is think of you

Would you hold my head up high
would you make my life as big as the sky
would you spend the rest of your life with me
What can I do, what can I say, to make you feeeel the saaaaaaaaame way, that i do

Everytime I look at the phone,
i'm hoping, that you're home
so I can call you up, tell you 'i miss you'
you make me laugh, you make me cry
and if I ask you, i could tell you why
baby i love you

Would you hold my head up high
would you make my life as big as the sky
would you spend the rest of your life with me
What can I do, what can I say, to make you feeeel the saaaaaaaaame way, that i do
That i do

i like the music of this song
almost made me cry actually w@h@h@h@

Wish I - Jem
OST Grey's anatomy

Baby, you're sailing today
Baby you're sailing away
Sugar, wish I could go too
But honey you know
I'm happy for you

Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too

Baby, your ship has come in
Baby, adventures will begin
Sugar, don't you worry ‘bout me
'Cause honey you know
Want you to be happy

Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too

But if you find that you don't like it
and the people there aren't inviting
or that city life is too frightening
won't you come home

(please come home)
Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too
Wish I, I wish I, I wish I
Wish I was going too

something special and ironic

2006-11-06T00:03:00.000+08:00

I heard this one from a condo ad here in SG... the lyrics and melody caught my attention...
here's a link to an online sample. unfortunately, it's incomplete. what dyu expect with a sample?
********************
Something Special
De-Phazz, Death by Chocolate

If there’s no chance to reach you, No bridge, no boat, no stones,
Then I would swim the waters, Just like Brian Jones.

If I would ever lose you, To someone else one day,
I shall be diplomatic, Just like Cassius Clay.

‘Cause you’re so special… ‘Cause you’re so special…
Just like anybody else.

You don’t need to worry, Just rely on me.
I forever will be faithful, Like Lady Chatterley.

If there’s a need to tease you, As a chance to make you stay,
I’m gonna, I’m gonna be your wild one Just like Doris Day.

‘Cause you’re so special… Just like anybody else.
‘Cause you’re so special… Just like anybody else.

You’re my everyday sensation,
You’re my heaven, you’re my hell.
Like a roller-coaster ride,
We can make it to the bell.

Perfect combination,
Like the seashore and the shell,
‘Cause you’re something special, babe,
Just like anybody else.

‘Cause you’re so special… So incredible…
Just like anybody else, Unbelievable…
‘Cause you’re so special… So deceivable…
Just like anybody else.

‘Cause you’re so special… So impossible…
Just like anybody else, So incredible…

‘Cause you’re so special… Unbelievable…
Just like anybody else, So deceivable…
‘Cause you’re so special… Just like anybody else,
‘Cause you’re so special…

You don’t need to worry, ‘Cause you’re so special…
Just rely on me, Just like anybody else,

‘Cause you’re so special… Just like anybody else…
…faithful, like Lady Chatterley…

Biglaan

2006-11-01T22:35:00.000+08:00

found a new embed for posting lyrics... check this out
============

============
here's the lyrics in plain text:

Biglaan - 6 Cycle Mind

Nandito nakaukit pa rin sa puso ko,
Ng sabihin mong wag na lang.
Nandito nakatatak pa rin sa isip ko,
Kung paano mong kinalimutan ang lahat.
Kay bilis ba't umalis, nakakamiss ...

Na bigla lang di ko man lamang nalaman na mawawala,
Na bigla lang di mo man lamang naisip na idahan-dahan.
Hindi ako sanay sa biglaan,
Unti unti na lang sanang nawala.

Hindi ba natin kayang magkunwari,
at sabihin sige na lang
Hindi ba natin kayang dayain,
Ang mga yakap sa tuwing lumalambing
Kay bilis na umalis, nakakamiss...

Na bigla lang di ko man lamang nalaman na mawawala,
Na bigla lang di mo man lamang naisip na idahan-dahan.
Hindi ako sanay sa biglaan,
Unti unti na lang sanang nawala...

until now, i still can't believe i haven't gotten over her/it/whatever...

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

2006-10-23T00:09:00.000+08:00

Somewhere Over The Rainbow
(Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - from 50 First Dates OST)

ooooh ooooh oooooho

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh

Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I?

Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee eeeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I hiii ?

Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo

******
i don't know why...
i just like the song, it has sort of a reggae feel to it but not really reggae
sorts of lifts me up and lets the whole me float around...
or maybe that's just the effect of too much lack of sleep...

All My Only Dreams

2006-10-22T23:10:00.000+08:00

All My Only Dreams
The Wonders

Every night I pray, I'll have you here someday.
I'll count the stars tonight, and hope with all my might.
That when I close my eyes, you'll be right by my side.
If I could only have one wish you'd be the girl whose lips I'd kiss
All my only dreams.

And when I close my eyes, you'll be right by my side.
If I could have just one request, stay with me girl I confess.
All my only dreams.
Any waking hour it seems, I only have you in my dreams
So every night I pray, I'll have you here one day.

I'll count the stars tonight, and hope with all my might.
That when I close my eyes, you'll be right by my side.
If I could have just one request, stay with me girl I confess.
All my only dreams.

*******
this song has a 60's-ish or 70's-ish feel to it...
been dreaming a lot lately of an all-too familiar face...
then just lately a written name appeared: KARINE
who might she be?
hehehe talking about the girl of our dreams
literally just in my dreams, i don't know anyone by that name
hmmm my mind's playing tricks on me again, cause i'm really sure that familiar face's name isn't karine, doesn't even start with a 'K'

words CAN kill

2006-10-21T22:47:00.000+08:00

just watched 'Death Note' yesterday.
i like the film though others could find it morbid.
here's a brief spoiler:
- a 'death note' is dropped by a "death god"
- the 'death note' is picked up by a law student, Light
- the person whose name is written on the notebook dies
- Light uses the notebook to give justice as he sees it
- the police notice the pattern of criminals dying and tries to find him

=- Death Note Rules -=
1. The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
2. This note will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
3. If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the subject's name, it will happen.
4. If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack.
5. After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

"Signs"

2006-10-16T00:34:00.000+08:00

I just watched M.Night Shyamalan's "Signs" on TV. I just realized the movie has meaning. Most people were bored with this movie during its showing. I liked the movie that time, just for entertainment. But when I watched it now, I watched it listening to each line said.

This was the main line that caught my attention:
(Merrill, played by Mel G. and Graham, played by Joaquin P., where talking about the news on tv of UFOs hovering over Mexico City.)
MERRILL: Some people are probably thinking this is the end of the world.
GRAHAM : That's true.
MERRILL: Do you think it's a possibility?
GRAHAM : Yes.
MERRILL: How can you say that?
GRAHAM : That wasn't the answer you wanted?
MERRILL: Can you at least pretend to be like you used to be? Give me some comfort?
GRAHAM : ... There are all different ways you can tell that there's someone really there watching out for us. You see signs. Sometimes they're little ones. You think of someone. The phone rings. They're on the phone... Sometimes they're big, like fourteen lights hovering over Mexico City.
GRAHAM : Sure, there are a lot of people watching this who think this could be a bad thing. But there are a lot of people watching this, who think it's a miracle. A sign of God's existence. It's all in how you look at things Merrill.
GRAHAM : What you have to decide is what kind of person you are? Are you the type who believes in miracles and looks for signs or are you the kind who believes, things just happen by chance?
MERRILL: I was at this party once. I'm on a couch with Sara Mckinney. She was just sitting there, looking beautiful and staring at me. I go to lean in and kiss her and I realize I have gum in my mouth. I turn and take out the gum. Stuff it in my paper cup next to the sofa and turn around. Sara Mckinney throws up all over herself.
MERRILL: I knew the second it happened. It was a miracle. I could have been kissing her when she threw up. That would have scarred me for life. I may never have recovered.
MERRILL: I'm a miracle man. Those lights are a miracle.
GRAHAM : There you go.
MERRILL: So which type are you?
GRAHAM : Do you feel comforted?
MERRILL: Yes.
GRAHAM : What does it matter then?

**********
As I see it, there talking about signs which may mean there's really a reason for everything as there is someone omnipotent looking over all of us. Come to think of it, I'm also a miracle man... I've been a miracle man all my life and I have always believed things do happen for a reason... I just have to keep on believing then...
Here's a link to the complete screenplay script of "Signs". I can't believe they publish these things on the internet... but then, there must be a reason... =)

Love and Hate

2006-10-14T23:46:00.000+08:00

How easy is it for "Love" to turn to "Hate"...

Don't you believe it?

Melt With You Sky High

2006-10-14T13:26:00.000+08:00

"I Melt With You"
-Bowling for Soup

Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world crashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you

(We should know better) Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(We should see) Trapped in a state of imaginary grace
(We should know better) I made a pilgrimage to save this human's race
(We should see) Never comprehending a race that's long gone by

(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen some changes and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
And there's nothing you and I won't do
(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world and melt with you)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world and melt with you)

*************
one of my fave songs and like other songs, several artists have recorded their own version
this got stuck to my head after watching 'Sky High', which is also one of my fave light movies. (im actually downloading the movie now, just want to watch it again and enjoy the feeling)
has also been featured in 'Ever After' methinks...
here's a not-so-good link to the 'sky high' video performed by BfS

I Won't Ever Hope Again

2006-10-14T11:48:00.000+08:00

Di Na Ko Aasa Pa
- Introvoys

Ilang gabi na akong lito
Di ko maisip kung bakit nagkalayo
Mahal kita ngunit mahal mo siya
Ang hinihiling ko lamang, mahalin ka niya.

[Chorus]
Di na ‘ko aasa pang muli
Kung ikaw ay babalik
Saka na lamang ngingiti
Tandaan mong mahal kang talaga
Tanging ikaw lamang (ang) nasa aking alaala.

Naglalakad, hawak-kamay
Tila ba’ng ligaya niyo’y walang katapusan
Ang nakaraan nating dalawa
Di ko na makita sa yong mga mata.

[Bridge]
Sa iyo sana’y maghihintay
Ikaw ang gusto ko sa habang buhay, ngunit…

[Coda]
Di na ‘ko aasa pang muli - I won't ever hope again
Kung ikaw ay babalik sa ‘king piling - If you'll come back to my arms
Saka na lamang ngingiti - I can smile again
Tandaan mo, mahal kang talaga sa akin, giliw -
Tanging ikaw lamang, nasa aking alaala
Di na ‘ko, di na ‘ko
Di na ‘ko aasa pang muli
Kung ikaw ay babalik sa aking piling
Di na ‘ko, di na ‘ko
Di na ‘ko aasa pa…
sa ‘yo.

**********************************************
This is a nice song... I just realized that I'm not alone in what I'm feeling right now...
Here's a post from Paco (writer of this song):

#4 Paco Arespacochaga { Apr 12 1:53 PM }
thank you for your comments. this was my story. my girlfriend at the time broke up with me. i wanted to win her back so i saved money to buy her a BIG teddy bear from Blue Magic the the Robinson’s Galleria. As I was going out of the store, I saw her walking hand in hand with another guy. She looked at me “without meaning” and it really floored me.
As I rode the bus in Edsa, with the HUGE teddy bear on my lap, I was singing what was to be the chorus to “Di Na Ko Aasa Pa”. Vic Carpio, who was our guitar player at the time, encouraged me to make a song out of it.
The rest made history….

It seems this is taken from his personal experience. I guess that's why it's a great song because genuine emotions/feelings were into it.

"Sometimes, pain is all that lets you know you're alive." - Lews Therin Telamon

"The fact that the price must be paid is proof it is worth paying." - al'Lan Mandragoran

Why?

2006-10-13T00:22:00.000+08:00

Why do you always do this to me?
Why couldn't you just see it through me?
How come you act like this?
Like you just don't care at all?
Do you expect me to believe,
I was the only one to fall?

I can feel I can feel you near me,
even though you're far away
I can feel I can feel you baby...
Why?

It's not supposed to feel this way...
I need you, I need you, more and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you...

Tell me... Are you and me still together?
Tell me... You think we could last forever?
Tell me... Why?

Hey, listen to what we're not saying...
Let's play a different game then what we're playin'
Try to look at me and really see my heart.
Do you expect me to believe I'm gonna let us fall apart?

I can feel I can feel you near me
even when you're far away...
I can feel I can feel you baby...
Why?

It's not supposed to feel this way...
I need you, I need you,
more and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way...
I need you, I need you, I need you...

Tell me... Are you and me still together?
Tell me... You think we could last forever?
Tell me... Why?

So go and think about whatever you need to think about
Go on dream about whatever you need to dream about
Then come back to me when you know just how you feel, you feel...

I can feel I can feel you near me,
even though you're far away...
I can feel I can feel you baby...
Why?

It's not supposed to hurt this way...
I need you, I need you,
more and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way...
I need you, I need you, I need you...
Tell me...

Are you and me still together?
Tell me...
You think we could last forever?
Tell me...
Why?

Same Ground

2006-10-13T00:16:00.000+08:00

Same Ground - Kitchie Nadal

My love,
Its been a long time since i cried
and left you out of the blue.
Its hard leaving you that way when
I never wanted to.

Self-denial is a game
Its strange i never would've
wanted if until there was you.

Because i have learned that love is beyond
what human can imagine,
the more it clears the more i have to let you go.

CHORUS:
That's why i don't understand is why im feeling
so bad now when i know it was my idea.
I could've just denied the truth and lied.
But why am i the only one standing stranded
on the same ground?

My love,
Its been a long time since i cried
and left you out of the blue.
Its hard leaving you that way when
I never wanted to.

Self-denial is a game
Its strange i never would've
wanted if until there was you.

Because i have learned that love is a
word gets thrown a little bit too much.
the best excuse to fill the infinite abyss
i have never have to if all else fail

If all else fail, would you be there to love me?
If all else fail, would you be brave to see right through me?

Lessons from The Full Metal Alchemist

2006-10-11T02:15:00.000+08:00

Thoughts about death from the anime series Full Metal Alchemist.
=====
Edward: We talked about what would happen if we died, right?
Alphonse: Yeah, I said that everyone would be sad.
Ed: Um... that's a personal perspective... From a practical perspective, even if I die, the world will continue to rotate as though nothing happened.
Al: A very small existence, right?
Ed: Don't say small! *Ed hits Al's head.*
Al: Ouch!
=====
"A large flow that isn't visible to the naked eye...
Al and I are both only a small existence within that large flow.
Each one is part of the whole, but it is the cumulation of each one that makes the whole.
This world is unknowingly flowing by and obeying a great law.
By knowing that law, it can be broken down and recombined.
That is alchemy!"
=====
--taken from FMA#20 'All is One, One is All'

***********
If you lose someone to reasons other than death, sometimes it's much easier to think of losing them to death. That way, you'll not hope for them coming back to you...
But then again, nothing is final until death... and losing hope is like succumbing to death...
They say one should never lose hope...
I hope that one day, some day and some day soon...
She'll come back to me...
And if ever she won't, hope I can accept it all with my sanity still intact...
And when all is well... I hope I'll see the reason for all these...

...

2006-10-10T01:09:00.000+08:00

if you can't get her out of your mind, she's supposed to be there...

2006-10-08T23:02:00.000+08:00

this song was featured in several movies: '50 First Dates', 'Antz', 'Cool Runnings'...
several artists have their own version of this song; i think i like Jimmy Cliff's best...
i like the beat and the message of this song... wish there'd come a time when i can sing this song and mean its lyrics... hope that would be soon...
================================
I Can See Clearly Now

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day

Oh yes I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day

I once did a research paper in school about the effects of music to one's mind. My conclusion on that paper: music affects our mind.
PROOF? If you can 'feel' the difference between listening to heavy-metal and something from beethoven, that's proof enough.

Just an adlib from my mind...

I just updated my previous post to their original post-dates.. I actually just copied these posts from another blog where i've been bloggin previously. Now the post-dates are real-time. What's the significance? nothing really... The datetime stamps just show what verse/s is/are in my head at that moment.

November Rain

2006-10-07T00:58:00.000+08:00

AdLib:
It's almost November...
I've been waiting for November's end for a time now even though it still has not began.
I don't know what lies ahead but if there are days in my life I'd like to just skip, these days are it...
======================
November Rain - Guns n Roses

When I look into your eyes, I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you, don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever and we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine

So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin' in the cold November rain

Do you need some time... on your own
Do you need some time... all alone
Everybody needs some time... on their own
Don't you know you need some time... all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart when even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time... on my own
Sometimes I need some time... all alone
Everybody needs some time... on their own
Don't you know you need some time... ll alone

And when your fears subside and shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me when there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness we still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Now, here's the video... loads for a time but i think it's worth the wait.
There are some details shown in the video which aren't seen in one viewing but it expounds more on the featured story in the video.

Anna by Top Suzara (orig by APO Hiking Society)

I long to tell you
How much I need you
If I could find the words to say
I’d never have to feel this way
Not knowin’ just what to do when I’m with you

My friends, they tell me
That I could shouldn’t hurry
Yet this feelin’ keep goin’ strong
‘Cause you keep it goin’ on
Though I have to say how much I love you

Oh Anna, can’t you tell me and see
What you’re doin to me
Oh, Anna, this feelin’ I just can’t hide
Keeps drivin’ me wild
Oh Anna, I need you here with me
I wish it could be.
Oh Anna, won’t you stay with me?

Your eyes they look through me
Your smile, they did push me
I’ve never thought I’d love again
But this time I hope it never ends
I have to tell you know how I love you.

==============
Nice song to sing/dedicate to an Ann, Anne or Anna. This is for my Ann...
Here's a video link, not a good one but enough to appreciate the song.

I'll Be There For You -GreenDay version

2006-10-05T01:24:00.000+08:00

"Poprocks & Coke"
- GreenDay

Wherever you go You know I’ll be there
If you go far, You know I’ll be there
I’ll go anywhere, So I’ll see you there
You place the name You know I’ll be there
You name the time You know I’ll be there
I’ll go anywhere So I’ll see you there

I don’t care if you don’t mind
I’ll be there not far behind
I will dare
Keep in mind
I’ll be there for you

Where there’s truth You know I’ll be there
Amongst the lies You know I’ll be there
I’ll go anywhere So I’ll see you there

I don’t care if you don’t mind
I’ll be there not far behind
I will dare
Keep in mind
I’ll be there for you

If you should fall You know I’ll be there
To catch the call You know I’ll be there
I’ll go anywhere So I’ll see you there

I don’t care if you don’t mind
I’ll be there not far behind
I will dare
Keep in mind
I don’t care
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you

One of my GreenDay faves. Here's a link to a video you can check out.
The video features 'Full Metal Alchemist' (one of my fave animes) and has really nothing to do with the song but I enjoyed watching and listening to it anyway.

birch3's daily living

2006-10-05T00:57:00.000+08:00

i just want things to be simple... and be like this till da world ends...
i wish things were that simple...

i've been living my life day by day for the past days...
what i noticed was that it's hard to start the day... after waking up to reality from a dream of a beautiful life...
what i noticed was that it's even harder to end it... when after busying myself with work, i end up in my room, all alone, with only my thoughts and memories to keep me company...
what i noticed was that it's even harder to start the next day...
but i've been living my life daily for the past days...
who knows if i can make it to the end of these days...
who knows how and what i'll be by then...
who knows if happy thoughts will find their way to me again...
but they do somehow...
happiness comes in weird simple ways...
never thought a simple online 'hey' could make the day's journey easier...
never thought a simple ':)' could lighten the heaviness felt somewhere within...
never thought i'd be hanging on to the simplest things to keep my sanity with me...
it helps though somehow...
and when it's late night once again, and the day is nearing its extended end...
(and when tears want so badly to touch the air after being locked up for the whole day)
the thought of another ':)' and another 'hey',
(though the possibility of it coming wanes by each passing day)
is enough to keep me going
and long for another day
of my simple daily living...

"Wake Me Up When November Ends"
- Greenday ("American Idiot")

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when November ends

Like my fathers come to pass
Six months has gone so fast
Wake me up when November ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when November ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when November ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when Spring began
Wake me up when November ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when November ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when November ends

Like my fathers come to pass
Three years has gone so fast
Wake me up when November ends
Wake me up when November ends
Wake me up when November ends

-Nice song and video.

-Update: Another video, this time anime, fits with the song too.

translation FUN: Cueshe's Ulan w/ subtitles

Ulan by Cueshe

Lagi nalang umu-ulan
Lately, it has always been raining
Parang walang katapusan
Seems like it won't cease
Tulad ng paghihirap ko ngayon
Just like my pain now
Parang walang humpay
Which seems neverending

Sa kabila ng lahat ng aking pagsisikap
Even though how hard I try
Na limutin ka ay di parin magawa
Forgetting you is something I could not do

Hindi naman ako tanga
I'm not really stupid
Alam ko na wala kana
I know you're not there anymore
Pero mahirap lang na tanggapin
But it really is hard to accept
Di na kita kapiling
We're not together anymore
Iniwan mo ako nag-iisa
You left me all alone
Sa gitna ng dilim at basing-basa pa sa ulan
In the darkness, all soaked with the rain

Pero huwag mag-alala
But do not worry
dina kita gagambalain
I won't ever bother you
Alam ko naman ngayon
I have already known
may kapiling ka nang-iba
You have somebody else by your side

Tanging hiling ko sa’yo
My only wish of you
Na tuwing umu-ulan
Whenever it rains
Maalala mo sanang may
Hope you'll remember
Nagmamahal sa’yo. Ako...
There's someone always loving you... That's me...
Lalalalalalalalala…
Lalalalalalalalala

The Day We Find Love

2006-09-26T00:20:00.000+08:00

by 911

Isn't the first time, won't be the last time...
Don't you worry, i don't mean to make you sad
My tears will soon be over
With your conscience clear for a new life ahead
Don't be sorry, i really need to hear the truth
The only thing i'm asking, 'cause i need you to
Remember me as the only one who sets you free
Maybe time alone will make you see
How deep our love could be
No, it's never too late

'cause i know this isn't the first time
Won't be the last time
I surrender my soul 'cause you're always
Keeping me waiting,
Anticipating the day we find love once again
I won't give up while there's a glimmer of a chance
A dream that's never ending
Inviting love and a perfect romance
A burning passion, oh, baby, you're my destiny
But the message i'm receiving is you're through with me
But i'll be there even though you tell me you don't care, no, no
How could you forget the times we shared?
Don't throw our love away
You know it's never too late

i will sing

2006-09-26T00:17:00.000+08:00

"I Will Sing" - Don Moen

Lord You seem so far away. A million miles or more it feels today.
And though I haven't lost my faith, I must confess right now that it's hard for me to pray.
But I don't know what to say and I don't know where to start.
But as you give the grace with all that's in my heart.

I will sing. I will praise even in my darkest time through the sorrow and the pain.
I will sing. I will praise.
Lift my hands to honor You because Your word is true. I will sing.

Lord is hard for me to see all the thought and plan You have for me.
But I will put my trust in You. Lord will meet Your guide to set me free.
But I don't know what to say and I don't know where to start.
But as you give the grace with all that's in my heart.

I'M NOT MISSING YOU!!!

2006-09-24T06:41:00.000+08:00

I’m not missing you...
Been through just about everything that I could go through when it comes to relationships
Don’t know what I was missing or why I ain’t listen when I told myself that was it
Now here I go, hurt again 'cause of my curiousity.
Now that it’s over what else could it be?
He just had to cheat

I made a promise never to settle, why didn’t I keep it?
Cause I hated the heartbreak, crying and cheating, the fooling around.

(But) I’m not missing you...
I’m not going through the motions: waiting and hoping you call me.
I’m not missing you...
You might have had me open but I must be going because I got life to do.
I know I’m usually hanging on.
I used to hate to see you gone.
But this time it’s different I don’t even feel the distance.
I’m not missing, I’m not missing you...

It’s a shame in a way cause I feel that I may not ever find the right one for me.
Did I leave him, is he right in front of my face?
Will my true love ever be?
Why would I go on a search again when I know what the end will be?
What good is love when it keeps on hurting me?

No I can’t be with you, 'cause I'm scared... felt like I was falling when you left me.
I can’t keep going through life unaware of what I missed and the person I could be.
Love's good when it’s right and when it's left in your memory.
All the times I let you down.
I guess love will be nice for someone else's life.

I’m not going through the motions: Waiting and hoping you call me (knockin' at my door).
You might have had me open but I must be going because (it's the best day of my life).
I know I’m usually hanging on, I used to hate to see you gone.
Oh different, feel the distance:
I’m not missing, I’m not missing you

=======================================
This is a girl's song but why am i singing it? hahahaha.
Just the way i feel really.
I'm NOT missing YOU, Stacie Orrico...
It's NOT you I'm missing...

This is TRUE

2006-09-15T23:41:00.000+08:00

True - Ryan Cabrera
I wont talk, I wont breathe
I wont move till you finally see
That you belong with me

You might think I dont look
But deep inside
In the corner of my mind
Im attached to you
Im weak, Its true
Cuz im afraid to know the answer
Do you want me too?
Cuz my heart keeps falling faster

I've waited all my life
To cross this line
To the only thing thats true
So I will not hide
Its time to try
Anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true

You dont know what you do
Everytime you walk into the room
Im afraid to move
Im weak, Its true
Im just scared to know the ending
Do you see me too?
Do you even know u met me?

I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing thats true
So I will not hide
Its time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited

This is true

I know when I go ill be on my way to you
The way thats true

I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing thats true
So I will not hide
Its time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited

This is true

Love 'Em All

I am a self-confessed movie addict. I nerves and senses get all tingly when a new movie with a catchy trailer is scheduled to be shown. From comedy to horror to action and drama, anything as long as the trailer or ad gets my fancy. This is my pasttime, a sort-of addiction... bad or good? hmmmm
What makes it more addicting is that I get to watch it with my one and only ;)) :">

-----------------
More Today than yesterday
I don't remember what day it was
I didn't notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

Every day's a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But, darling, not as much as tomorrow

Tomorrow's date means springtime's just a day away
Cupid, we don't need ya now, be on your way
I thank the lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be trueI know you feel the same way too

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But only half as much as tomorrow
