The Song


Love it.

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're 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 x2

No please don't complicate,
Our time is short this is our fate,
I'm 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...

Perceptions.

I've been thinking about some things out of the ordinary. Hahas.

Ever wondered how our human mind plays tricks on us?

Here's one... Just tell yourself not to think about anything, seriously, ANYTHING. Can't seem to get it out of your head anymore right?

Read this statement: Swallow your saliva."
You now have one more thing to concentrate on...

One more.
"Blink your eyes."

It's really amazing that we don't notice these involuntary actions each and every day of our lives, that is, until someone, like yours truly, or something, reminds you about it.

When you feel the lump in your throat each time you swallow your saliva, or feel the movement of your eyelids, you can't help but wonder why, and how come you don't feel a thing at all in normal circumstances. Amazing?

Hmm.

Personally, I think that as we get older, we tend to get too analytical about things, thus making us think too deeply of things, especially of simple questions, like "What's 1 + 1?"

I think most adults would wonder about the question and as a result, take more time before they come up with an answer to it...

Some food for thought.

Maybe

Perhaps I'm really going through something...

Really don't know what... but this popped up in my head all of a sudden 2 days back...

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" (Prov 3:5-6)

No.

I'm not gonna let anything pull me down.

Things have happened.

I can't change anything.

What I can do, is just to make it all better.

I've experienced, learnt, and now I've got to change.

"The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light" (Matt 6:13)

I will see, observe, and I will change.

Anyway,

I'm heading back to camp tomorrow. Will be stuck there for the next 1.5 years or so... till 25th Jan 2010... well... it's army life.

Seriously, WHY? Why me? Let me know soon please...

Your Guardian Angel

Your Guardian Angel - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm stronger I've figured out
How this world turns cold and breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

It's ok. It's ok. It's ok.

Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Cuz you're my, you're my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away,
Please tell me you'll stay, stay

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be ok
Though my skies are turning gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

--

I'll be your guardian angel.

Happy man.

Just told myself I'm gonna be happy no matter what happens. Even if I don't get answers I expect or hope to get. Well...

HAHAS!!!

Here's to a new and fresh beginning.

HAPPY!

--

Delighted.

Do I?

Do I?

I really wonder. Can't help that some things don't seem to get any better. Things come and go, but whatever it is just seems stuck here all the time.

Not gonna elaborate.

Have to head back to camp soon... one whole day of crapping around already. Can't even go for my grandma's b'day dinner. It's just plain dumb.

Have I had enough?

I really don't know at all. It's just weird thinking about certain things. When you consider things from one angle, to another angle, to yet another angle, the perspectives just change, and things just end up becoming more complicated.

What can I do?

Don't really know the answer to that too. I guess I'll just leave it all to God then. Hopefully I'll get an answer soon. Sometimes, the process really causes you to suffer a lot, when you keep waiting, waiting, waiting... But that's life, isn't it?

I'm looking ahead?

There's yet another 2 more weeks to the end of my training. Can't imagine that I've actually gone through 6 weeks already. But the tough part's just beginning. There are still many more things that have to be done, and the focus is now on these last 2 weeks. 2 weeks. All I have to make good my time in Stagmont. Have to hit the "books" once again.

What's in store for me?

Yet another "Don't know..." The future is just there, but I just don't know what's ahead for me. Yeah, everyone hopes for good things to keep coming their way, but I expect some bad things to happen as well. A life without balances is not a life at all.

I really, really, really hope that I'll get an answer...

Thinking.

Song.

I've decided.

All My Life - K-C and JoJo

I will never find another lover
Sweeter than you,
Sweeter than you.
I will never find another lover
More precious than you,
More precious than you.

Girl you are
Close to me you're like my mother,
Close to me you're like my father,
Close to me you're like my sister,
Close to me you're like my brother

You are the only one my everything
And for you this song I sing

All my life, I pray for someone like you
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life, I pray for someone like you
And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do, love me too

Said I promised to never fall in love with a stranger,
You're all I'm thinking of I praise the Lord above,
For sending me your love, I cherish every hug,
I REALLY LOVE YOU!!!

All my life, I pray for someone like you,
I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life I pray for someone like you
I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do, love me

You're all that Ive ever known,
Your smile on your face,
All I see is a glow,
You turned my life around,
You picked me up when I was down,
Youre all that Ive ever known,
When you smile Your face glows,
You picked me up when I was down
Youre all that Ive ever known,
When you smileYour face glows,
You picked me up when I was down...

I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do, love me too

All my life I pray for someone like you
I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life I pray for someone like you
I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do, love me too [ x3]

Risk

I took a risk. Sometimes the outcome will definitely be good, but sometimes not. But if I cannot be a risk-taker, how can I advance in life.

Life's all about risks. Without it, there can be no outcome.

Well...

Some food for thought

-Every beginning comes to an end, but with each end, gives birth to a new beginning.

New things come about everytime, it's just whether we meet up with the new challenges head-on and decide on finding solutions for them, or we just sit back, relax, and end up losing everything we have. The end is only a place for us to create a new beginning.

-A man who has no failures is a man who does nothing.

Who hasn't met with them in life. Not everything we do will definitely end up in success. There's still a 0.01% chance of failure in something that has a 99.99% chance of success. What matters most is that we try, and we work hard at trying.

Watch out for a new song coming up soon! Am deciding between 2 of them.
