some songs are always good no matter how old they are and how many times you listen to them, it's the most comforting thing ...

A (not so) new year, some refreshing thoughts

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 00:43:17 GMT

I had dinner with a friend today. We met four years ago, and we go stronger every year. It's really really great to always have someone there that knows you very well and be able to step out and explain your confusion. I'm very very happy today. I've been needing this "dinner" for awhile and she resolved a lot of my confusions, I can't be more grateful for having a friend that clears away the clouds and shows you that the sky is blue again. I told her, it's like chicken soup for the soul and she laughed, and I was embarrassed for being so cliche about it. hehe

I'm very happy that I'm getting a long weekend, I'm really on ~10% battery right now. Tonight's dinner and these few days will hopefully charge me back to full(?) battery before I get back in the game again (work + study that is) ...

After watching Paprika, I've been listening to some really really good music, and the warm weather makes me happy too.

I think I've finally grown out of it ... 80% I think ...

No longer burst in tears when I listen to these songs...

It started with the song, and I think it will phrase out with the song

"Now you could be so good
But you have to be so bad
That's what they always say
That's the price you have to pay ..."

i used to love the fall, it was my favorite season. the foliage, colors, halloween, new school year ... i look forward to all these holidays, kicks off by labor day, columbus day, veteran's day, thanksgiving, then christmas! just one leads to another, the funnest times of the year! It's all so magical ... Then some things happened in this very season in the recent past, well not so recent, and I'm pretty sure everyone has once experienced it in his/her life time. well almost everyone i guess. Now at this time of the year, it always reminded me of this something. i'm not so sure why it has been staying with me for so long. 3 years ... i have changed a lot, everyone around me has changed, every tree has changed colors for 3 cycles, and yet i'm still not able to forget at this time of the year. it has always came back to haunt me, no matter where i am, who i'm with, what i was doing. will i survive this wknd? well i have always survived, but will it fades more next year? i'm not so sure. i hitnk i have grown up... will i be brave enough to walk out this door, close it and lock it? i'm not so sure what it is now.

Gwen Stefani 4 In The Morning

Waking up to find another day
The moon got lost again last night
But now the sun has finally had its say
I guess I feel alright

But it hurts when I think
When I let it sink in
It's all over me
I'm lying here in the dark
I'm watching you sleep, it hurts a lot
& all I know is
You've got to give me everything
Nothing less cause
You know I give you all of me

I give you everything that I am
I'm handin' over everything that I've got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go & give you up
Stay up till Four In The Morning & the tears are pouring
& I want to make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

All I wanted was to know I'm safe
Don't want to lose the love I've found
Remember when you said that you would change
Don't let me down
It's not fair how you are
I can't be complete, can you give me more?
& all I know is
You got to give me everything
& nothing less cause

You know I give you all of me

I give you everything that I am
I'm handin' over everything that I've got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go & give you up
Stay up till Four In The Morning & the tears are pouring
& I want to make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

Oh please, you know what I need
Save all your love up for me
We can't escape the love
Give me everything that you have

& all I know is
You got to give me everything
& nothing less cause
You know I give you all of me

I give you everything that I am
I'm handin' over everything that I've got
Cause I wanna have a really true love
Don't ever wanna have to go & give you up
Stay up till Four In The Morning & the tears are pouring
& I want to make it worth the fight
What have we been doing for all this time?
Baby if we're gonna do it, come on do it right

(Give you everything)
(Give you all of me)

You know what is on my mind right now?

First point, I do think how comfortable and lucky in the position I'm in right now, and I do feel like I'm living a good life. Who knows what will happen tomorrow? Odd balls happen like that freaking steam pipe explosion yesterday in Midtown; my building was a couple blocks down. I was watching all the people running down on Lex and was confused ... I could have been one of those people who got mud poured over ... you know. Maybe I felt like leaving work early and went shopping in that area? Imagine how helpless it is to be running down the street in flip flops covered in mud on a humid gloomy day. Anyway my point is ... I should be very graceful right now chilling in my pajamas with the AC blowing ... I can do anything I want. So if you're ever feeling down, think about the worst that can happen.

OK, second point - time is running out like sand slipping through my fingers ... Each wk is passing by before I know it. Good and bad. I hardly write about work; I don't intend to make my blog posts focusing on work... b/c I do have a life. =) But, there is a BUT... It has been taking up most of my time. When I get home, I feel there's a need to stay up late a bit to have some time for myself that I'm concious and I'm not at work. I've worked out something at work recently and phewwww I'm not dreaming about it at night anymore!!! Does it happen to anyone? You think about work so much that you dream about it ...

3rd Point - I'm very comfortable with people around me. At work ... I like everyone, I walk in the morning in a good mood, and usually come out in a pretty good (but tired) mood. But maybe one day it will change ... no idea what will happen ... Ok. Outside of work ... I got great friends !! So I'm happy =)

4th point - I NEED TO STUDY FOR GMAT. STOP WASTING TIME, SHOPPING, FACEBOOKING, Blogging, JUST DO IT !!!!

hehehehehehehehe YEAH~~ peace out~!

THE WEATHER IS SO HOT RIGHT NOW don't even want to stay out for a minute longer!! can you believe it's July already?? Time just goes faster when you dont want it to. When you start to recall things happened in the long long past, and forget things happened only yesterday, you know you are getting OLDDD!!

Not in working mood this week ...

Oh yea, if I didn't bug you enough about Ratatouille already ... GO WATCH IT!!! It's sooo goood, and it's especially good for ppl who appreciates Disney/Pixar/Cartoon humor... Yes it's not even a mouse, it's a RAT but only Pixar can make it so cute! =)
