Pole hips

Mohandas K. Gandhi:
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
Molly Ivins:
I still believe in Hope - mostly because there's no such place as Fingers Crossed, Arkansas.
Patricia Hampl:
The future is here, now, and the past is full of actual deeds, real history. Utopias hardly have the meat on their bones to sustain a people in grave times.

Friday and Saturday’s healing rallies were good.
Saw many children getting saved on my end.
The upstairs in Canaan Centre end.
Thank God they had the church buses to take us home every night… I managed to get home round 11pm odd every evening …
If not for the transport, the result would have been to wait for public transport until cough blood… believe me, I know what it is like to take public transport at such a late hour… it is not exactly my cup of tea… no siree~
Sunday’s service was enlightening and I picked up quite a few things.
Very thankful that I have such good mentors. Now the trick is to make the most of the time that is given to me.
Gosh… did I sound like Gandalf? O.olll

Studied at the CC after getting back from church.
I am very happy to say that I finished all the work that I set out to do. :D
Now I have the other tons to conquer… haha…

Monday’s Macro lecture was not so bad, since I managed to run through the syllabus before heading for the lecture. A good thing too, if not I would be wondering what the heck was going on the whole time.
Much work is in order.
I am optimistic about the process.
With God’s help, it will be all good :)

Tuesday, ah Tuesday…
Went to Plaza Singapura with TKM.
Had lunch at The Café Cartel.
The food was not bad, the prices also not that bad.
I realise that the prices at Swanson’s are more jiat lut… so I guess I will be visiting The Café Cartel more often in the future…
-hysterical laughter-

Went to Marks and Spencer to get my long overdue and badly need jeans…
It’s been more than 2 years since I purchased a new set of jeans lor…
Got me some spiffy new pairs and a new blouse as well… still lacking a cool belt and maybe some crazy shades…
I was eyeing a pair when I walked into John Littles but I decided not to get them, even though the price was very enticing… my wallet was screaming for mercy… bor bian~
Next time lah… I won’t go crazy without them… haha… maybe they will still be there the next time I decide to go shopping… which is… erm… donno when…. Haha…

The next item on the wish list is more a need item than a wish item.
My sports shoe, the pair that I had been wearing since JC2, has passed on.
The soles were cracked very badly and the grip portions were very close to falling off. The silver portions had also faded and chipped off in various places…
Never have I worn a shoe till it was in such a state.
To honour its passing, I took a picture of it and have up loaded it onto my photosite.
It shall forever be remembered in pixels
Thank you my nike pair, you have served me well.
My next pair of shoes will have a hard time filling your position.
Well… you know what I mean~
-chuckles-

I now make it a point to catch Grey’s Anatomy every Monday night.
“Into you like a train” was the name of the episode, which was aired.
It reduced me to a wreck of tears at certain points.
The main issue, for me, during that episode revolved around the dilemma of two patients who were involved in the train accident.
A pole had impelled the two people. It literally skewered the two of them together. Just imagine two people hugging and then add a pole that goes through their backs from one person to the other.
The problem was that both individuals had a lot of damage to their internal organs and in order to save one, the other would have to die.
Who gets to decide who lives and who dies?
What must be taken into consideration?
And what about the ones who have to make the decision?
Do they hurt as much? Less or maybe even more?
If this is a representation of what doctors have to go through daily in any one hospital across the globe, thank goodness I am not a doctor.
I would be spending more than half the time crying.
On a lighter note, it’s the show’s ability to bring across the pain and headaches of the doctors, which makes it so popular.
Can’t wait to catch the next episode… hopefully I will be home in time to watch it… heh… got lessons in the evening next Monday.
Heh~

First heard this song on the radio… it caught my attention because it reminded me of the song on Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights… the song’s got a pretty cool rhythm and I dig the trumpet… heh

Shakira - Hips Don't Lie

Ladies up in here tonight
No fighting, no fighting
We got the refugees up in here
No fighting, no fighting

Shakira, Shakira

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection

Hey Girl, I can see your body moving
And it's driving me crazy
And I didn't have the slightest idea
Until I saw you dancing

And when you walk up on the dance floor
Nobody cannot ignore the way you move your body, girl
And everything so unexpected - the way you right and left it
So you can keep on shaking it

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

And I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel you boy
Come on lets go, real slow
Don't you see baby asi es perfecto

Oh I won't deny my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
Shakira, Shakira

Oh boy, I can see your body moving
Half animal, half man
I don't, don't really know what I'm doing
But you seem to have a plan
My will and self restraint
Have come to fail now, fail now
See, I am doing what I can, but I can't so you know
That's a bit too hard to explain

Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día

Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día

I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa
Shakira, Shakira

Oh baby when you talk like that
You know you got me hypnotized
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body

Senorita, feel the conga, let me see you move like you come from Colombia

Mira en Barranquilla se baila así, say it!
Mira en Barranquilla se baila así

Yeah
She's so sexy every man's fantasy a refugee like me back with the Fugees from a 3rd world country
I go back like when 'pac carried crates for Humpty Humpty
I need a whole club dizzy
Why the CIA wanna watch us?
Colombians and Haitians
I ain't guilty, it's a musical transaction
No more do we snatch ropes
Refugees run the seas 'cause we own our own boats

I'm on tonight, my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel you boy
Come on let's go, real slow
Baby, like this is perfecto

Oh, you know I won't deny and my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel it's right
The attraction, the tension
Baby, like this is perfection

No fightin
No fightin


That’s it… back to the books!
Study hard guys~!
Cheers!

Good Friday 2006

Louisa May Alcott:
Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow them.
Margaret Fuller:
I accept the universe!
(Ralph Waldo Emerson's reported response: "By God, she'd better!")
Martin Luther King, jr.:
If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.
The Trumpet of Conscience

Things happen.
Shit happens.
When it rains, it pours.
Isn’t that what they always say?

There will always be hope. It is just a matter of where you go looking for it.

I spent Thursday at home before heading off to work in the evening.
Was supposed to be studying with Long Jie at the CC but he had another appointment to attend to.
Me thinks that meeting up to study at the CC this time is going to be tough, coz our time tables are so different when it comes to the UOL and Local revision lectures… -.-lll
But that is not an excuse to not study!
So study I must! :)

Today – Good Friday.
The most significant day on the Christian calendar, next to Easter Sunday. :D
To me anyway.
Went to the second service at PLMC with TKM just now.
We got caught in the rain on the way home.
Had lunch at the local shop houses… mmmmgooood~
Must go back there again!
-hysterical laughter-
Later got service at Bethel.
They are having healing rallies for tonight, tomorrow night and Sunday morning.
I will be on duty at the children’s church for all three days…
I don mind being on duty, but the thing is that when I am put on duty to be with the kids, I am not able to invite my friends to the church. It would be unfair to just ‘dump’ my friends in the service while I am somewhere else doing other stuff. Oh well~
God has the overall plan I guess. :)

Heard part of the song recently.
Not that bad… this one and the other songs I have been hearing make me wanna purchase the BEP and PCD CDs… heh

Black Eyed Peas - Can you feel the hyeeyyyeeyype

[Chorus]
Can you feel it in ya body-ah [can you feel it]
Can you feel it in ya body-ah [can you feel it]
Coz I can feel it in my body-ah [I can feel it]
It feels good to my body-ah
To my body, in my body-ah [can you feel it]
Can you feel it in ya body-ah [can you feel it]
Coz I can feel it in my body-ah [I can feel it]
It feels good to my body-ah

We gonna make y’all feel it
Make y’all feel it
Make y’all wanna jam
Fellas in the place just clap your hands
Ladies in the house just grab a man
We gonna make y’all feel it
Make y’all feel it
Make y’all wanna move
Ladies in the place just show ’em proof
Fellas in the house you know what to do

We gonna make y’all feel it in a special way
An EVENT full of action and exposé
Ladies in the CLUB looking ready to play
And I’m waiting for the right one to pass my way
And in the mean time I’m about to roll up The Hague
We got drinks on the table, time to parle,
And it’s time to unwind if you’ve had a low day
And ladies, I got something to say

[Chorus]

We gonna make y’all feel it
Make y’all feel it
Make y’all wanna jam
Fellas in the place just clap your hands
Ladies in the house just grab a man
We gonna make y’all feel it
Make y’all feel it
Make y’all wanna move
Lades in the place just show ’em proof
Fellas in the house you know what to do

Feel the vibration of the bass charm,
Put your hand on the speaker, get your face blown
Get up on the floor, get your dance on
Coz your backbone’s connected to your ass thong
The ladies all dressin up high fashion [hot!]
Dancing all sexy with passion
Honey, if you don’t mind me askin',
Can you feel all that bass in that ass, hun?

[Chorus]

This is it [this is it] gotta keep ‘em moving
Don’t stop [don’t stop] once you get moving
Don’t break [one break] next thing you know
You on top [you on top] so hop to the rhythm
That we rooocckk it [rock] get loose and express
What you got [what you got] at least you gotta
Give yourself a shot [a shot] hey never get ‘em up
And gimme what you got?

Can you feel the hy-y-y-ype?
I can feel the hy-y-y-ype
Can you feel the hy-y-y-ype?
I can feel the hy-y-y-ype

[Chorus]

To my body, to my body-ah
To my body, to my body-ah


Back to the books.
Remember the meaning of Good Friday… all the way through to Easter Sunday.

Crazy computer

Kalidasa:
Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

The thing about abnegating is that plenty of daily routines get cut out.
One of that would be using the computer.
And the most irritating thing about my computer is that the more you don’t touch it, the more it is likely to spoil.
(please don’t give me that look… computers don’t like me…)
It happened just now, when I tried to switch the PC on.
It rebooted by itself more than 7 times.
Talk about heart attack! X.xlll
Now would be the mad scramble to get everything backed up… just in case
*touch wood!* the computer decides to go AWOL on me… like it did last year… haha… do I sense a trend? O.O
-blood curdling scream-

Spent the whole of Monday all the way to Tuesday evening at home.
Monday was a irritating day, coz I kept getting side-tracked and I could not get the relevant information into my head… very frustrating.
Tuesday went along the same lines… but it was a tad better… and then, there was the track to Ps. Alan’s house for cell group.
Me thinks I am falling sick… been coughing quite a bit and was dizzy during cell group… not forgetting that there was a headache I had to deal with for most of the evening… *bleah*
This would be the worse time to get sick lor~
I injured and now falling sick… pui! I den don want!
Shesh~

Been watching Grey’s Anatomy.
At first I didn’t really take to the story line, then Dr. Burke caught my attention.
-migumi laughter-
Now I try to catch it every week.
Between Jewel in the Palace and Grey’s Anatomy, the doctors win hands down.
Same goes for my one and only CSI. :D
Nicky boy!
-more migumi laughter-

Made the walk to 106 with TKM this morning to do grocery shopping.
Weather was a *itch.
Then again, Daddy always says that there is no such thing as lousy weather, just lousy clothing… oh gosh… do I have to do more shopping? O.olll

No time, no time, no time liao… back to the books!

Jia you guys~!
^-^

Centralised Colour Belt grading

Friedrich Nietzsche:
Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torments of man.
George Bernard Shaw:
He who has never hoped can never despair.
Caesar and Cleopatra
Henry Ward Beecher:
Repentance is another name for aspiration.
Jane Wagner:
A sobering thought: what if, at this very moment, I am living up to my full potential?

¾ of today was spent outside the house.
To have that happen on a Sunday is not that unexpected any more… but still… haha…

2 services back to back.
Praise and worship leading after two weeks of being MIA.
Next week is the week of Good Friday.
Much more singing coming my way… hah
Was very much blessed by the sermon today. :)

Took the MRT to Toa Payoh to go and view the centralized colour belt grading…
My first time viewing the grading… heh… it was an eye opener… for those who have not seen the ‘sub-central’ gradings, you would find that those are also rather different and yet the same as the centralized ones… haha… am I making any sort of sense?
-hysterical laughter-

Helped Swee Shoon with looking after his club’s stuff while he went to be the photographer for his friends… heh… while they were out, I did my studying… covered a bit… key words: ‘a bit’… much to make up for tonight… *sigh*
Good thing I don’t have to wake up early tomorrow…
-psychotic laughter-

Rushed down to Kovan, with Alfred’s order of Long John Silver’s.
Made it in time, but had to hang around for a while before I could go home… haha… as usual… painful to watch other people training… bleah~

Heard ‘Beep’ on the radio and I’ve gotten hooked onto the lyrics… real cheeky… haha… I dig~

Pussycat Dolls – Beep (feat. Will.I.Am)

Every boy's the same
Since up in the seventh grade
They been trying to get with me
Trying to (Ha, ha-ha, ha, ha-ha)
They always got a plan
To be my one and only man
Want to hold me with their hands
Want to (Ha, ha-ha, ha, ha-ha)
I keep turning them down
But, they always come around
Asking me to go around
That's not the way it's going down

'Cause they only want

But, na, ah-ah

Perfect for the cloud hovering over my head… hahaha…

Nickelback – Far Away

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know


That I love you
I've loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore


On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know


That I love you
I've loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore


So far away
(So far away)
Been far away for far too long
So far away
(So far away)
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you any more
Believe it
Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing, 'cause i'm not leaving you any more
Believe it
Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and never let me go


Hey Shoon~
Hope the results of today’s grading will be favorable.
Don worry about them, I think they did a pretty decent job of their patterns.
They will be fine when it comes for their turn to handle the black belt grading. That I am sure :)
I shall look forward to the Japanese dinning!
Woohooo~
Save money I shall! :D
Oh yah~
I also had another insane idea: Feel like visiting as many Singaporean tourist attractions as possible during the holidays… haha… taking a page from your note book I guess… what you think? Heh~
I think I had better save even more money aye?
Wahaha~

Overall, I am glad I had a good day :D
Praise God!
He makes my day good!
^-^

Deep impact, black grading, salmon avocado

Talmud:
Deeds of kindness are equal in weight to all the commandments.
Theodore Rubin:
Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.
Willa Cather:
When kindness has left people, even for a few moments, we become afraid of them as if their reason had left them. When it has left a place where we have always found it, it is like shipwreck; we drop from security into something malevolent and bottomless.
William Menninger:
Six essential qualities that are the key to success: Sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom, charity.
William Wordsworth:
The little unremembered acts of kindness and love are the best parts of a person's life.

Don’t mind me, I’m having a horrible headache at the moment.
Silly me, went to tell my dad about my headache, he says that if it gets any worse… better go hospital… alamak… is it that bad?

Went to work this morning den headed off to Toa Payoh to meet Swee Shoon for lunch…
Fiesta Japanese Restaurant!
Heh~
Almost as good as the outlet at Novena…
Aiming for that one once the exams are over… gives me something really nice to look forward to… along with Koshin Bon~
-does dance of joy-
Must make my study time worth the while man… haha…
So many things I want to do and buy… got me a whole list … have to save money so that I don kill my wallet when the time comes… heh… and with all the holding back, I might even forget about what I want to buy… then in the end I might not buy at all, which means I will end up saving more money… hahaha…
-pulls self back from digression-

Deep Impact and Salmon Avocado wrap. Those two are my favorite dishes… highly recommend to anyone who dines at any Fiesta outlet… heh…
Swee Shoon and I ate there about 9 months ago when I went to view the centralized black belt grading for the first time… heh… that was in June last year… oh how time flies…
And that time, we ate so much, that I had to ta bao the remainder to the sports complex to eat… haha…what a riot!
This time, we were smarter!
Ordered from the menu instead of stuffing our faces with food off the conveyer belt… heh… it makes a hack of a lot of difference… trust me. You should try it too… saves you money as well!
-hysterical laughter-
We sat at the seats right outside the kitchen area.
It is a very interesting and eye-opening place to sit at… heh… for the right reasons… haha…
The food is fresher and the service is better, plus we get to see what goes on in the back… heehee~
Don worry, it’s all clean… *I think*

Alfred joined us 1/8 way through our dining… heh… we had a lot of fun yaking about the stuff Alfred saw during the aerospace show… and other non-tkd stuff (which I fail to recall… haha…) it was refreshing… to just sit there and chill… I have decided that today is the last day of fun… sad but true… it is time to abnegate… way pass due time… *sigh*… I’ve been playing far too much… my game is far from being ‘on’… gwad… have to do some serious head to notes banging… must make up for lost time…
-pulls self back from digression again-

I am proud to say that this time, we did not spend as much as the last time… then again, I don exactly recall how much we did spend the previous visit… but still, I am more satisfied with this visit compared to the last one… haha… more fulfilling this time I guess… haha…
Good Friends + Good Food = Good Time. :D

Went to view the black belt grading after chowing down our food…
People grading today included: Hakim, Gordon, Chi Foong and Ally.
3 for Black, 1 for Third Poom.
Took videos of all of them. :)
Glad that they did their best.
Whether or not they pass is not up to me.
Oh well~

Swee Shoon spent most of his time studying for his finals… makes me very chan quei for not following his example. I spent all my time looking at the people who were grading… gah… have to make up for the time lost… no more playing!
-war cry-

Cat and Jason also came down to view the grading… Gen and Kelvin were late… din get to see the main ‘performances’. Better late than never, I’m sure those grading were grateful for the support.

Had to make a run for the bus stop at 6pm, due to various reasons, one being Alfred having to make it home in time for dinner and the other being that I too had to be home for dinner :p
I could have stayed on longer, but it was fine just to leave with the Chong sisters, Foong man, Kelvin and Alfred.
Chong Yun’s sister – Chong Yi, has just joined the TKD family. Heh~
So exciting! :D

Right now, the headache is being a real bitch.
Bleah~

Talking about vulgarities… I totally went pass my limit for swearing in one day… gwad… I haven’t sworn in a while, and today, I completely made up for it… and then some -.-lll
Even though I used my literature license, I still I think I went a bit over board… sorry about that… shall have to pray for forgiveness tonight…

I just found out some news that irritates and hurts the hack out of me… I donno what I am feeling, and I wonder why I am feeling so lousy about the information, when in truth, I should have seen it coming long time ago. And now, the best course of action would be to be happy and pray for the best… but why do I just feel like crying?
I could not and should not, in good sense and faith, be thinking otherwise… it would be unbecoming and just plain outright wrong… to me anyway~
-hits head against the wall-
It boils down to knowing too much.
It is the result of choices I make… I have to live with them.
-more head hitting against the wall-

Accounting

Charlotte Perkins Gilman:
However, one cannot put a quart in a pint cup.
Dale Carnegie:
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
Dorothy Thompson:
Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.
Dorothy Thompson:
Fear grows in darkness; if you think there's a bogeyman around, turn on the light.
Elie Wiesel:
I have learned two lessons in my life: first, there are no sufficient literary, psychological, or historical answers to human tragedy, only moral ones. Second, just as despair can come to one another only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings.

Yang Mui and I survived the POA marathon… though she deserves more credit because her marathon was longer than mine.
Night classes sure are a drag yes?

POA UOL lectures on the second day where more effective for me.
It seems I am more apt at doing managerial accounting compared to the financial aspect of the same subject.
The irritating thing is that the financial portion yields the most marks… grrr…
Libon has awaken the desire to do better for the subject… haha… Thank you Dr. Fung!
Too bad the revision lectures were only 2 days… shoot… now have to piah all the way for the next one… local revision shall be the next target… bonsai!

It has been a while since I had a marathon of studying or being outside the house, due in part to the blardy injury. Not used to running around that much any more. But I do look forward to getting back into that regime once more… if anything, it would be a reminder as to how much I need good health. Running on pure adrenaline is a shiok sensation…
-psychotic laughter-

Had my ‘final’ training session on Wednesday.
After this Saturday, I will not be attending any tkd sessions at all for at least a month, or until I am fully healed.
I do not see the point in working out, when I am not entirely well, and then get more injured than I originally was. That would be horrible with a capital ‘H’!
To say I am not affected by not training would be a hug fat lie.
Because, by golly, I freaking AM!
It pains me not to be able to join the rest in whatever practices they doing for the session.
It pains me not to be able to enjoy my sport to the fullest.
And worst of all:
It pains me not being able to enjoy the time with my friends.
-hits head against the wall-
Had better make my time away worth it xia~
By the way, don get me wrong, I will not be training, but I do intend to fulfill my duties on the admin side… haha…

Swimming pool!
Need to rehabilitate my body… too bad they closed the swimming pool behind my place… now I have to take a buses instead … shesh~
Better than nothing I guess… have to stay in shape… haha…

Much to do with little time to do it in… so goes the usual mantra…
Back to the books!

Study hard and smart guys!

Campus Superstar 2006

Allan K. Chalmers:
The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery:
If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
Arundhati Roy:
Not only is another world possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.

Had Micro Economics UOL lectures over the weekend.
Waking up early each day to be ready for the ‘marathon’ sessions…
Spending the time during the lectures straining to hear what the lecturer is saying and then wrecking the brain thinking about where to eat during lunch time… because the freaking canteens in school are full to the brim with no place to breathe, let alone sit down.
Hopefully the next session of lectures will yield better results … hopefully… in as many areas as possible…

Was thinking about what I wrote in my previous post… regarding the irony of knowing too much… come to think of it…
I know too much and yet I know nothing at all.
There are so many areas for which I lack in the knowledge department and so many other things I wish I did not know.
The contradictions of life and its ironies are complex and simple all at once.
Haha~

My hair is finally longer!
-hysterical laughter-
Can’t wait for it to grow longer… den I can start doing all the crazy styles with it… haha…
Then again, training will be a tad irritating coz of the long hair… JC PE classes taught me a thing or two about the vices of having long hair and loving sports at the same time… bleah…

When God created everything, He had a purpose for each one of them.
But I have no idea what mosquitoes are for.
Why God WHY?

Sarah McLachlan – Angel

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There’s always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it’s hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There’s vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don’t make no difference
Escaping one last time
It’s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here


Frankie J - Obsession (No Es Amor)

(Check check ...this happened for real ...baby bash..yo.. frankie j.... obession)

Its early in the morning
And my heart is really lonely
Just thinkin bout you baby
Got me twisted in the head
And I dont know how to take it
But its driving me so crazy
I dont know if its right
I'm tossin turning in my bed
Its 5 oclock in the morning
And I still cant sleep
Thinkin bout your beauty it makes me
Weak...
I'm feeling hopeless in my home
I dont know what to do but I think I'm in love
Baby...

[Chorus]
Amor, no es amor (if this aint love)
Then what am I feeling (what am I doing wrong)
Amor, no es amor (if this aint love)
Is this an illusion that I have in my heart?

Now I know you're not my lady I'm just tryin to make this right
I dont know what to do I'm going out of my mind
So baby if u let me could I getchu to say maybe we could ride together
We could do this all nite now I dont care if u got a man
Baby I wish you'd understand
Cuz I kno he cant love u right, quite like I can
Its 5 oclock in the morning
And I still cant sleep
Thinkin bout your beauty it makes me
Weak...
I'm feeling hopeless at home
I dont kno what to do but I think I'm in love

[Chorus]
Amor, no es amor (if this aint love)
Then what am I feeling? (what am I doing wrong)
Amor, no es amor (if this aint love)
Is this an illusion that I have in my heart?

I love the way u freaky like that
I love the way u freaky like that
I love the way u freaky like that
Its an obsession

[Baby Bash]
Hold up let me dream
Shorty got me feelin less supreme
Where my candy, where my cream
Got your boy feel less supreme
Hold up wait a minute baby you so damn independent
Loving everything your representing
Got alot of money, I love to spend it
And thats whats up and I dont care what people scream
You're my blessin when I'm stressin
My superfly beauty queen
I'm gonna keep it saucy
Cuz my money know how I do, we go rendez-vous, mi corazon belongs to you

[Chorus]
Amor, no es amor (if this aint love)
Then what am I feeling? (what am I doing wrong) what am I do wrong [echo]
Amor, no es amor (if this aint love)
Is this an illusion that I have in my heart?
Amor, no es amor (if this aint love)
What am I feeling? (what am I doing wrong?) what am I do so wrong? [echo]
Amor, no es amor (if this aint love)
Is this an illusion that I have in my heart?

Amor
