Painfully reminiscent of the movie “City of Angels”, it puts love on a higher pedestal, as something worth giving up for, even if it costs someone an eternity, or falling from grace.

One of my favorite thoughts about love is that it is such a rare gem, for alot of people would exchange an eternity’s worth of suffering for a few moment’s worth of feeling such bliss. From love. Love fills the soul with such completeness that some things just don’t matter anymore.

And I’d give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be
And I don’t want to go home right now

Gifts I Want to Receive On V-Day

Got this from Sasha.
Ayay, February, oh February. You are making me so darn mushy! ( It rhymes! ) The answers below might make you think that I’m a dreamer, well, it’s just me trying to preserve my dreaminess while I still can!

1. Dinner.
I love food, and nothing can sweep me away more than a hearty dinner. It doesn’t have to be necessarily fancy, all I need is good food, with big servings, and the thought that someone would know my favorite food ( by being observant ) is already enough. Or maybe, I’d love to try something new, too. Cook for me? I’ll swoon. But really, the company is most important, too. Don’t let me eat alone, please

2. A Day at the Beach
I know, I know, it’s quite demanding to ask someone to spend a day with me at the beach during Valentines’ Day since traffic is at its worst! But then, it doesn’t hurt to dream a quiet day at the beach, just lazing around, leaving all worries behind just for a day. And please let me photograph you - you better pose!

For Day 2 of the love song challenge ( I’m actually behind by two entries, drat ), I choose to feature Linger by the Cranberries.

Goodness, who would ever forget this? After watching the movie Click, I would sing it over, and over again. It’s actually an old song ( way back in the 90s ) by the Cranberries, and it seems to me that the song is about being a slave to love. Slave in the sense that you are rendered powerless, and no matter how much you were wronged by someone you love, you choose to oversee it, or even forget, the moment he holds your hand.

The word “linger” has a romantic appeal to it, so it seems. It’s letting time pass you by as you dwell on the euphoric feelings of love, prolong it as much as you can feel the bliss.

Who wouldn’t want to linger on romance? Doesn’t happen alot, so feel it while it’s still there.

I never had anything happen so fast
I took one look and I shattered like glass
I guess I let it show ’cause your smile told me you knew
That you’re everything I ever wanted at once
There’s no holding this heart when it knows what it wants
And I never wanted anything more than to know you

I was swept away….no one in the world but you and I, gotta find a way, to make you feel the way that I do…

Ahhh, the magic of love at first sight. It might come off as something unlikely to happen nowadays, but I still believe that there is such a thing as love at first sight. Christopher Cross came up with this song, so someone in the world could actually think this way. This leaves me with hope that my love at first sight moment would be as magical as this one. With one look, you just know. You are sure that the person in front of you is the one you would want for the rest of your life.

Sigh.

My life is a love song. I guess everyone’s is, too. And everyday, I would always hum a different tune that would fit my mood over, and over, again.

Someone greeted me, “Happy February 1st, it’s the love month! ” ( right? ) and to my dismay, yeah, I remembered February was indeed the love month. Everyone’s all giddy, excited, or even depressed with the idea.

I started a challenge with my bestbud to post our songs of the day for the 28 day duration of this month. Hopefully, this would bring in good vibes, as I try to post love songs that are more on the positive and happy side. Hahaha!

On we go!

For those who’d want to take the challenge, I encourage you to do so! There’s always a new love song to sing everyday!

The truth about me is that, when I feel that I am a natural with some things, I let myself flourish with it. But another thing about me is that, when I get interested with something, find fascination and meaning in it, and learn that I actually am bad at doing it, I don’t give up. My frustration challenges me further even if it takes me to take on the steep learning curve.

Let me backtrack during my highschool-college crisis. I was really really bad with math way back, blame it on a bad foundation starting 1st year highschool. Come senior year in highschool, an amazing teacher made me look at math otherwise and I saw myself improving in it. I found math fascinating because it was such an exact science and it was used way back during the ancient times by the Sumerians. When I transferred to my chosen university, I was thinking hard on what course I should take. History was my first choice because I was wildly passionate about it during highschool ( remembering how I devoured books about Alexander the Great ), but then at the back of my mind, I wanted to give myself a chance to study math, and get to appreciate it for real. I chose Economics.
