The World As I See It by Jason Mraz

Current favorite! :)

I love no one but you, I have discovered, but you are far away and I am here alone. Then this is my life and maybe, however unlikely, I’ll find my way back there. Or maybe, one day, I’ll settle for second best. And on that same day, hell will freeze over, the sun will burn out and the stars will fall from the sky.

Great song here by Baby Face. I just heard this on the radio the other day and it does not in any way represent my heart’s state as of the moment, k? :D

“Life doesn’t hurt until you think about how much things have changed, who you’ve lost along the way, and how much of it was your fault.”

STUPID THINGS by Baby Face (2007)

I

Sometimes we wish for the better
When we have it good as it gets
Sometimes the grass isn’t greener
As soon as we find out, we forget

Pre-Chorus:
Sometimes a fool doesn’t know he’s a fool
Sometimes a dog, he don’t know he’s a dog
Sometimes I do stupid things to you
When I really don’t mean it at all

Chorus:
Sometimes a man is gon’ be a man
It’s not an excuse, it’s just how it is
Sometimes the wrong, don’t know that they wrong
Sometimes the strong, ain’t always so strong

Sometimes a girl is gon’ be a girl
She don’t wanna deal with all the drama in your world
God knows I don’t mean to give it to you
So girl, I’m sorry for the stupid things, I wish I didn’t do but I do

II
Sometimes I wish I was smarter
Wish I was a bit more like you
Not making stupid decisions made at the last minute
You live to regret when it’s through

Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus

I hope Coca-cola (and other companies actually) could make more Filipino families happier and give more meaning to the Christmas season  :’)

Wish I could wear high heels more often. I get to use them only during special meetings with the accounts I’m handling or when I stay at the office. But during fieldwork, it isn’t advisable to wear them. I might not have the strength to drive anymore if I use all my energy walking in these shoes. It’s also such a hassle to change from driving shoes to high heels every so often. And lastly, I often get this remark “ang tangkad tangkad mo na nga eh, magsusuot ka pa nyan?” Haha! So there, I also feel shy and get conscious :)
All these very affordable and quality pairs (price range: Php899-Php1,499) are from Parisian (available at SM Department Stores). Although wedges are way more comfy to wear, it still feels great wearing shoes with pointed heels. Hoho :P #GirlThing

LIFE AFTER YOU by Chris Daughtry

Ten miles from town and I just broke down
Spitting out smoke on the side of the road
I’m out here alone just trying to get home
To tell you I was wrong, but you already know
Believe me, I won’t stop at nothing to see you
So I’ve started running

Chorus:
All that I’m after is a life full of laughter
As long as I’m laughing with you
And I think that all that still matter is love ever after
After all we’ve been through
‘Cause I know there’s no life after you

Last time we talked, The night that I walked
Burns like an iron in the back of my mind
I must have been high, To say you and I

Weren’t meant to be and just wasting my time
Oh why did I ever doubt you
You know I would die here without you

Repeat Chorus

You and I, right or wrong
There’s no other one after this time spent alone
It’s hard to believe that a man could be so blind
Thinking about the better times
Must’ve been out of mind
So I’m running back to tell you

All that I’m after is a life full of laughter
As long as I’m laughing with you
Without you God knows what I’d do

Repeat Chorus

LOVE IS NOT A FIGHT by WARREN BARFIELD

Love is not a place
To come and go as we please
It’s a house we enter in
Then commit to never leave

So lock the door behind you
Throw away the key
We’ll work it out together
Let it bring us to our knees

Chorus:
Love is a shelter in a raging storm
Love is peace in the middle of a war
And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door
No, love is not a fight but it’s something worth fighting for

To some, love is a word
That they can fall into
But when they’re falling out
Keeping that word is hard to do

Repeat Chorus

Love will come to save us
If we’ll only call
He will ask nothing from us
But demand we give our all

Repeat Chorus

I will fight for you
Would you fight for me?
It’s worth fighting for

The one that is meant for us is going to be the hardest to get, the hardest to keep, and the hardest to accept because through all that the love will grow stronger. Love wasn’t made to be easy, otherwise we wouldn’t end up with the right person. We would end up with the first one who comes along. By struggling we single out the wrong ones and realize who really is the one.

TWO YEARS LATER, YOU’RE STILL ON MY MIND :)

Someday We’ll Know by Mandy Moore - This song from the A Walk To Remember OST was released a long time ago. I’ve already lost track on how many times I’ve listened to it. I actually repeatedly sing this on videoke when I can’t think of any other decent song to sing.

But it was only last night, just last night, when I totally understood and appreciated it’s truest and deepest meaning. Just in time for my second year of being in love with a wonderful man.

Throughout the waiting process, the feeling just keeps getting stronger. And someday, we’ll know that we’re really each other’s THE ONE. Amazing, really an amazing feeling to know that your one great love is just out there :) Someday. <3

IF I COULD ASK GOD JUST ONE QUESTION: WHY AREN’T YOU HERE WITH ME TONIGHT?

P.S. I will never get over Landon Carter :P

You are so amazing, Lord! Thank You for letting me feel this magical and wonderful feeling. :) <3
