In Your Atmosphere

If hotness has another name, John Mayer would probably be it. As a matter of fact he's so hot I'm melting. And I don't just mean physically. He writes music too, and sings them in a way that you'd find it hard not to listen to him. But I really mean physically.

long and winding, indeed

This is my favorite song, ever. This applies to almost every aspect of my life: to writing, to those assholes, who, apparently, just came to my life to teach me something (and sadly, they meant just to teach), and to Him.

It's hard when you're in a situation that the very thing you can't do is to turn away. You can, and the hurting would stop. Only that, in truth, it wouldn't. And you know that, has always known that. So you end up taking that road, traveling it, hoping that someday, you'll get there.

I heard Regine was sick when she did this. I'm glad she was. It made the song sound heartfelt. She made herself sound like she's not her. And it worked beautifully.

just once?

Music can act. Watch Once, one of my favorite films, to know how. But it's not just the music that makes this movie engaging, blame it to its very simple yet beautiful story and its naturally gifted actors. The movie is a natural. It makes me feel guilty of watching it in pirated copy. I'm not sure if this had been shown here already. If not yet, then I'll certainly watch it again, and I'll buy a dvd of it- by that time, an original- once it becomes available.

I consider this movie special because before I became a movie and book addict, I was a music lover. I thought I have forgotten it, but I guess first love, really, never dies. You just need to be reminded of it once in awhile to know that it really doesn't.

Tagline: How often do you find the right person? ONCE

So it's really up to us, huh? Sigh.

for You

The Long and Winding Road
The Beatles

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door

The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way

Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
But still they lead me back

To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back

To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here

Lead me to your door...

youtube-ing

Yesterday, I bought 3 pirated DVDs (Knocked Up, The Devil Wears Prada and Little Miss Sunshine) and 2 originals (Brokeback Mountain and Schindler's List). And I have finished watching those in less than 24 hours. It makes me proud. Now, expect the worst from me, because I'll certainly write something about each film (except Brokeback, because it had been done already). This time though, I'll not only write how beautiful I find the movie but the things I'll learn from the experience of watching it. I would want to start now, but I can't. Mariah Carey's version of one of my favorite songs is playing: You and I by Stevie Wonder. I not only cry and shudder when I see pure talent, I also do when I hear one.

a love that will never grow old

A Love That Will Never Grow Old
OST: Brokeback Mountain

Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true
Just lay back in my arms for one more night
I've this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes
Saying this one's the love of your life.

[Chorus:]
Cause I know a love that will never grow old
And I know a love that will never grow old.

When you wake up the world may have changed
But trust in me, I'll never falter or fail
Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night,
And your laughter's like wind in my sails.

[Chorus]

Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,
Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.
Who cares where we go on this rugged old road
In a world that may say that we're wrong.

[Chorus]

on stardust

" Yeah you and me we can ride on a star
If you stay with me girl
We can rule the world-
Yeah you and me we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side
We can rule the world... "

- take that, OST stardust


I'm not really sure why, but I have been thinking about stardust since yesterday (just watched it yesterday). I even dreamed about it last night. Weird. Guess Ive fallen inlove with the movie. Can't blame myself though. It's a very nice movie. It will make you laugh, cry (hey, i did) and fall inlove. Just like that. Imagine. Can't wait to read the book.

Strong Enough
by Stacie Orrico

As I rest against this cold hard wall, will you pass me by?
Will you criticize me as I sit and cry?
I had fought so hard and thought that all my battles had been won
Only to find the war had just begun

Chorus:
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out and start again?
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance with me
Please can I have one chance to start again

Will my weakness fall and and now make me suffer for a lifetime?
Is there any way to be made whole again
If I be renewed and find forgiveness by the strength I've never had
Will my scars forever ruin all God's plans?

Chorus:
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out and start again?
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance with me
Please can I have one chance to start again

He took my life into His hands
And turned it all around
In my most desperate circumstance, is where I'm finally found

That You are strong enough
That You are pure enough
To break me, pour me out and start again
That You are brave enough
To take one chance on me,
Oh thank You for my chance to start again

It seems stupid to create a blog and just post song lyrics in it. It just shows that you have nothing good (or better) to write about. But this isn't always the case. hehe I decided to post the lyrics of Stacie Oricco's Strong Enough here because of the fact that I love the song and, ultimately, the message it conveys. I love the artist as well, by the way. This song makes me cry sometimes.

Life is beautiful, no doubt about it. But there are times that it gets a little shitty (I'm not sure if such a word exists, but you probably able to realize what I mean). During these times, we wonder if He loves us or what. We tend to question Him or His existence. But being able to see the good things in life; being able to experience love, being able to hear the laughter of children, being able to see the smile upon the face of our loved ones are reasons enough. These are reason enough to know that He loves us. Being able to wake up each morning is reason enough that He is giving us another chance to do better and be better.

Inconsistency. Yes, this entry, or perhaps the blog as a whole, shows how inconsistent my thoughts are. It shows on my way of writing. Another problem I have to work on.
