A beautiful mess

Another nice song from Mr. Mraz himself.... Seriously, his voice here is sooo nice :) pierces my heart a bit, LOL
I believe a lotta lines refer to me, hmmm, am not Narcist... just some trash in dresses type kinda.... isshhhh.... whatever lah, here's the lyrics to my latest fave song...

A BEAUTIFUL MESS
by Jason Mraz

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shouted cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
Though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
That this is just what happiness is

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt oh dear
Cause here we are, Here we are
Here we are [x7]
We're still here
What a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

Through timeless words, and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds, out of this earth
And times they turn, and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together
And we tore our dresses, and stained our shirts
But it's nice today, oh the wait was so worth it.

Have you ever been in love???

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-y

ou-apart pain. I hate love.”'

-Neil Gaiman

Rafael Nadal wins GOLD medal!!!

Unstoppable. Unreachable. Unbelievable. Rafael Nadal proved his might yet again in a very exciting Olympics match last Sunday against Chilean Fernando Gonzalez. In all fairness, Gonzalez put up a good fight, especially in the second set, twas even better than the Clay Championship bet. Fed & Rafa last May... So for the Men's Singles category in Tennis: Rafa took home the Gold, Gonzalez - silver and Djokovic, bronze ;)

NADAL beats Gonzalez to take on Gold

Nadal claims gold for Spain

Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal kept up a remarkable year for Spanish sport by beating Chile's Fernando Gonzalez 6-3 7-6 6-3 to win the men's tennis gold.

Having eased to the first set, Nadal saved two set points in the second to force a tie-break, which he won 7-2.

Early breaks of serve in the third set gave Nadal vital momentum and from that point Gonzalez was on the back foot.

Nadal won it on his fourth match point, when Gonzalez's attempt to return his forehand drive went into the net.

The gold medal was the first ever for Spain in Olympic tennis.

"I just want to enjoy this moment because I'm having an unbelievable year," Nadal said.

"It's more than my best dreams so I want to enjoy the moment. I know how difficult it is to win these things. Winning here for me is unbelievable."

this part from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympics/tennis/7566552.stm


The past few months we saw Nadal fearless and precise as he can be against Roger Federer winning over the Swiss in Roland Gaross and Wimbeldon competitions. Sunday, he isn't only a French Open/Wimby Champ, an Olympic Gold medalist as well... And come Monday, he officially overtook Roger Federer's four and a half year reign as being the top-seeded tennis player... whew! what a feat!


hmm, I wonder what else can we expect from Rafa the next couple of months and even, years??? Well, will certainly be lookin forward to that =)

Hallelujah!

After four days, Russ finally got better last night... My sleepless nights are over? Well, am just glad he's ok now... my prayers have been answered ;)

Pain pain go away

tossing, turning, can't sleep well last night because my back's aching againnnn...

good thing after an hour of suffering i realized i still have one tablet of the pain reliever my doctor prescribed 19 days ago...

the pain didn't immediately leave me though, another hour or so and voila! pain pain went away!

btw, speakin about 19 days ago... i finally claimed my x-ray and there's a reason for all this backpain... dextroscoliosis... ish! i hate it that i have it but i know it wont kill me... :P

anyways, goin back to the doctor in a few days and hopefully this time i actually will.

Virgo horoscope for today

This is a time to cement your ties to others, to make sure they are solid. Find the perfect home situation that will foster the expression of your creativity. It might be a good time to remodel your house as well as your life. Changes in your lifestyle will allow new opportunities to present themselves.

my snake horoscope for today

Contentment, emotional well-being, and harmony prevail in your personal relationships. At this time you relax and indulge in your pleasure-loving side. Unless other astrological indications override this influence, you are unlikely to be forceful and try to make things happen, but instead are inclined to flow along with people and situations, attracting what you need and letting the world come to you.

On Friendship and Love

Friends are forever…

That’s what we always say… Or was it a Hallmark card who said it? An advertising ploy perhaps… In my life, there are only a few special people I actually consider close friends and it is only lately that I realize that the thought of losing one of the few special friends I have is the most heartbreaking thing… For me, it is indeed true… friends are forever… but sometimes maybe they choose not to be… On my end, I continue to love… and cherish the memories of a friend found and lost and hopefully found again… and that hopefully… this time around, it’ll indeed be… forever..

Bliss.

LOVE. It is the most powerful thing in the world. It can make the strongest man weak. It can also bring the most abundant bliss… In my life, I always try to give love in every relationship I get into, whether it be thru friends, family, and even people I work with… When you give love unselfishly, it is the most rewarding feeling ever J It is unimaginable to lose someone you love and even losing the feeling itself… that, to me would be a tragedy L

Restless spirit

Sometimes I feel my mind is working overtime, I am about to sleep but it just wouldn’t stop… thinking, wondering, wandering, theorizing, churning out all these endless words in my head… more often than not, I just ignore them and I wake up the next day ready to face the world without those thoughts… Maybe there’s a worthy idea there somewhere but I was just too exhausted to process it :P but there was a time I bought a notebook and I put there these shrieking / mad / random thoughts… Frankly, it’s kinda disconcerting to look at it… One thing I realize about it though is that I should not take myself seriously at times… LOL

Lost, Found and other random thoughts

Where art thou?

USB cable, Billing Statements, Keys, Bills, Plane ticket, Flash drive, wallet, bracelet, Cellphone, an earring – these are just some of the personal things I thought I lost at one point or another. Some things really get lost never to return in my possession while others are found, like the 300 bucks I discovered in the jeans I wore last Saturday, mind you, those pair of jeans have been submerged in the washing machine yet, the money stayed in that pocket and actually dried in there and yaya (nanny) didn’t know of it (note to self: make sure to empty pocket/s before dumping the used jeans in the bin). That, actually isn’t a rare occurrence. I have left, I think a fifty or a hundred bill here or there, biggest left-over blunder of mine is a 500 Peso Bill, the only difference is that the previous yaya usually empty pockets before washing and she honestly returns these money I so carelessly left in my pieces of clothing. Shoot! How dumb can I get right? Well, I am most DUMB losing a wallet (twice, in a span of eight months), the first wallet was more loaded thus more painful to accept, I was kinda depressed for awhile then but aside from bein blue, the hassles of card replacements (credit cards, reward cards, social security card, atm, etc.) is a pain in itself as I relate quite a number of times to strangers how and when I committed this act of dumbness… The 2^nd loss of my wallet is easier to accept, no, not because I am already a veteran at it, but my wallet was very light that time, just a few hundred pesos, I think… and just 2 credit cards, 1 atm, 2 reward cards I only got depressed for a few hours… Btw, there was this favorite earring I lost when I attended a wedding, that was sad because I loved that earring soo much, I bought it from Bali’s Silver Craft center last year L the other earring is still in my possession though, I never threw it hoping someday, I will find the other piece…

On losing money, I’ve learned that money can indeed make me a bit happy, as I do have purchasing power when I have them but when I lose money, it comes back, sometimes double or triple its worth ;) A good friend of mine once said, ‘never say you don’t have money because you know you do, no matter how small it is, you should be glad you have it and do not hold on to your money so much, if you use it on things and people you love, it’ll come back to you, even ten-folds’. True enough, since I listened to her about 6 years ago, I have never hold on to money like it was God or something, it’s just a piece of paper that comes in and out of my life and once I lose it, I know I will earn it back J More importantly, there’s a sense of joy in buying even the simplest stuff for my family, friends, loved-ones ;)

LOST

this song sums up what i've been feelin for like, forever.... *sigh*

there's a saying that goes, "sometimes in life, you gotta lose yourself to find yourself" and though am not entirely thankful for bein lost lately... i know, somewhere, somehow, there's a reason for that... and someday, i just might find out...

LOST by Coldplay

Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I will cross

Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserve
No better and no worse

I just got lost
Every river that I've tried to cross
And every door I ever tried was locked
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off...

You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one
And you'll be lost

Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off

Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine was lost...
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine was lost...
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine was lost...
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine was lost...

*nice song*

Do you know what heartbroken feels like?

my heart's been ripped off of my chest
thrown at the street
ran over by a 10 wheeler truck
placed in a BLENDER
to become worthless
shreds of bits n pieces
worse, it's still beating

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pardon the morbid thoughts,

that's
just
what
i feel
&
i think
i deserve
it
:x

Congratulations RAFA!!! Wimbeldon Men's Singles CHAMPION 2008!!!

I wasn't even able to write anything here about his Roland Garros match wherein Rafa stunned everyone, including No. 1 himself - Roger Federer in an unbelievable display of Clay Supremacy at 6-1 6-3 6-0...

and NOW, even more unbelievable, RAFA managed probably THE biggest upset over Roger Federer and --- on grass....

6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5/7), 6-7 (8/10), 9-7 ***whew***

A Match of 4 hours and 48 minutes and it's all worth it... after about 2 1/2 hours of play, I thought Federer is stuck with the ominous '4' throughout the match but he did got over it... both players showcased world-class unbelievable absolutely amazing plays I wish I was there live, hahaha...

But seeing my fave player - Rafa - WIN is rewarding enough ;)

Federer did well too but Rafa was persistent, diligent and never backed down... twas an endurance of mental and physical stamina, i think and in tennis, as always, may the best man win, and win he did...

from Rafa:

"It's impossible to explain what I felt when I won. I'm just very happy to win this title. I never thought I could win but to do so is a dream," said Nadal who had lost the last two finals to Federer.

"I had match points but Roger is very tough. I want to congratulate Roger because he is great for tennis, win or lose.

"He's still the number one, he's still the best. He is a five-time champion and I have just the one title here."


from Roger:

"I tried everything," he said. "Rafa is a deserving champion -- he just played fantastic.

"It is a pity I didn't win but I will be back next year."

One of the greatest match ever!!! Twas an upsetting day though for Roger but I think this isn't the last we see of these 2 best players fighting it out in a championship match... more to come...


CONGRATS again RAFA!!!

time for.........................new look alikes!!!

AI7_Top8 Performances

Ok, after Rami bid goodbye last week and sulking (a little), I've had enough motivation to watch the Top8 performances.. besides, this is Inspirational songs week so it's gotta 'move' us in one way or another...

My ranking

1. JASON Castro. Not just because I LoVe this guy but because of all the performances, his was quite moving yet simple... Rock on, Jason!

2. DAVID Archuleta. This kidd really got that somethin special within him, Randy's right (again), that was some performance.

3. MICHAEL Johns. I know both Randy and Simon didn't like it, they thought twas an imitation of Aerosmith, well, yeah, they maybe right but vocally and if we just base it on last night's performance, twas good actually...

4. KRISTY Lee Cook. I can't believe am saying this... From being bottom 3 veteran for quite a number of weeks, i think she literally shone last night, w/ her glittery gold blouse too, hehe

5. BROOKE White. I like her a LOT but the number she did was just a-OK, nothin special, unlike previous performances yet twas simple, sincere and vocally good.

6. DAVID Cook. Of course, we've seen the BEST of David and lookin back while seein his supposedly inspirational song, well, quite uninspiring :(

7. CARLY Smithson. I hate to agree with Simon but i have to. I love Queen and I've come to like Carly but I just hate everythin bout her 'angry' performance last night: her clothes, her song, the way she sang it... Last week's Dolly Parton song was waaay inspirational and soulful compared to this one...

8. YSESHA. In terms of dilemma, hers was the lack of connection, enough to send her home maybe...

"Hallelujah"

Well I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this :
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

(Yeah but) Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, (You know)
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
and love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallelujah...

[Instrumental]

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
