My Favorite Sad Songs

Thinking Of You - Katy Perry

Comparisons are easily done

Once you’ve had a taste of perfection

Like an apple hanging from a tree

I picked the ripest one

I still got the seed

You said move on

Where do I go

I guess second best

Is all I will know

Cause when I’m with him

I am thinking of you

Thinking of you

What you would do if

You were the one

Who was spending the night

Oh I wish that I

Was looking into your eyes

You’re like an Indian summer

In the middle of winter

Like a hard candy

With a surprise center

How do I get better

Once I’ve had the best

You said there’s

Tons of fish in the water

So the waters I will test

He kissed my lips

I taste your mouth

He pulled me in

I was disgusted with myself

Cause when I’m with him

I am thinking of you

Thinking of you

What you would do if

You were the one

Who was spending the night

Oh I wish that I

Was looking into…

You’re the best

And yes I do regret

How I could let myself

Let you go

Now the lesson’s learned

I touched it I was burned

Oh I think you should know

Cause when I’m with him

I am thinking of you

Thinking of you

What you would do if

You were the one

Who was spending the night

Oh I wish that I

Was looking into your eyes

Looking into your eyes

Oh won’t you walk through

And bust in the door

And take me away

Oh no more mistakes

Cause in your eyes I’d like to stay…

stay….

She put him out like the burnin’ end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin’ to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night
1st Chorus

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I’ll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
(Sing lullaby)
The rumors flew but nobody know how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night
2nd Chorus

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
(Sing lullaby)

The Greatest Advice

I was EC dropping today and I found this over at Daily Dose Of Everything and I thought of reposting it here!

Don't date because you are desperate.

Don't marry because you are miserable.

Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don't philander because you think you are irresistible.

Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.

Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough & know better.

Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.

Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.

Don't stagnate!

Don't regress.

Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back.

Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right.

Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your biological clock is ticking.

Learn a new skill.

Find a new friend.

Start a new career.

Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid for some of life's more hasty decisions.

To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.

Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons.

To make yourself happy, pursue your passions & be the best of what you can be.

Simplify your life. Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits, and dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty.

Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family.

Be true to yourself.

Don't commit when you are not ready.

Don't keep others waiting needlessly.

Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.

Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.

Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.

Write poetry.

Love Deeply.

Walk barefoot.

Dance with wild abandon.

Cry at the movies.

Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to take care of you.

You light up your life.

You drive yourself to your destination.

No one completes you - except YOU.

It isn't true that life does not get easier with age.

It only gets more challenging.

Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.

Pursue your passions.

Live your dreams.

Don't lose faith in God.

Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!

*****

And I think I need to work on these three items I have highlighted and have to always keep in mind.

COLORful

Mother's Day

That's my mom, who will be 62 on the 15th of this Month. She was not so energetic as she used to be with hypertension and diabetes bothering her.

Tomorrow will be Mother's Day (May 10) so I thought writing about her here. We never really got along well because when she wants one thing, I would want something else.

She wants control, I want freedom. She fusses over us so much I felt so stifled. I would want space when he would always want togetherness, closeness that it was almost an invasion of me.

Though we both hurt each other at some points in our lives, I love her just the same and I promise to take care of her.

happy mother's day, Ma!

3. It's Friday evening and you're planning your weekend. What's on your agenda? I'm going to see my friend Iya who is coming from Malaysia tonight.

5. Finally, the new cast and movie of Star Trek are out. Excited or indifferent? I love Startrek movies! I just don't know if I'm going tto enjoy it this time.

Welcome to the May 7th version of Thursday Thunks!

(which we always seem to post on Wednesday)

Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Berleen & Kimber via Skype, the color cranberry (is that a color?) and the number 1,999,784,926,901.

1. Why the heck did you come back this week to do this meme? This has become an addiction!

2. Ever whiten your teeth? No, not yet.

3. Do you drive the speed limit? I'd rather be in the passenger seat!

4. Did the dog eat your homework? No. But he has some of my other stuff . My shoes. Flipflops. My favorite Shakey's pepperoni pizza that I left for a mo on the table...

5. How many bites does it take to get to the center of a watermelon? Do we have to bite through the center? T'would be better to blend and make a smoothie!

6. Did you eat paint chips as a child? No. But I've eaten flowers... ;)

7. If someone rang your doorbell/knocked on your door at 1am, would you answer it? Maybe, if that someone calls out and I recognize his voice. Or I'll check him thru a peephole with a something hard to knock him out if ever he forces the door....

8. "Amazingly Smooth" makes you think of what? Ice Cream?

9. What was the last stupid thing someone said to you? (not counting this meme's questions). Can I borrow money? lol

10. Would you eat a stick of butter for $100? If it's unsalted... (the questions are really getting crazier ...)

11. Find the nearest fabric tab, not counting your clothing you are wearing. What does it say the object is made of and where was it made? Do I really need to? Wait...Let me check out my officemate's shirt. It says " cotton, polyester" and "made in China".

12. What is the strangest name you've ever heard someone name their child (or a person you met... however you want to answer it)?Uno. ( it means "one") and the kid has 6 siblings!

13. Why is some toilet paper really soft and others are really hard?I don't know. If it says "virgin pulp" then it is soft and costs much more than the hard ones. Maybe the hard ones are not so virgin...( excuse the pun)

coffee and cigarette on a rainy day # 2

I had my coffee downstairs outside the lobby but the sky looked bleak today , I missed JV. Things aren't the same anymore.I wondered if I should have done more to make him stay, but well, he's gone now so I might as well accept it.

I've been trying to write about what I'm feeling this past few weeks but I can't seem to let it out. I feel so alone. Of course, I have my God, my family, and friends. But there's something's missing, and I don't know what.

**SIGH**

GRAFFITI

Is LIFE passing me by?

Sometimes I have this feeling, too. As if I'm stuck to where I don't want to be anymore. Yeah, I know we have choices...but sometimes it's hard to choose between these choices. I think my pros and cons over and over, smoothing all edges, putting everything in a win-win situation but sometimes it becomes stale, too late now, the moment already gone. I wish for the spontaneity that I thought I once had but can't find in me anymore.
