Evan Lysacek (USA), Brian Joubert (France), Stephane Lambiel (Switzerland).... OOOOOH!!! :D

Sadly, Jeffrey Buttle is NOT going to compete anymore... SO SADDDD!!!

And why don't they have the figure skating events at UBC? \-.-/

Wonderful Day

SO SO SO SO SO tempted to bake banana muffins right now!! Found a great recipe which looks so simple.. Okay, most muffin recipes are simple.. This one calls for 2 eggs instead of the usual 1, so maybe it will turn out more rich? I can't wait to try it!!!!!

Sadly, I have to do homework.... I better get through most of it now and so I can ask residual questions tomorrow.. Muffins have to wait...

On the bright side, what a great Vancouver mini adventure it was today!!! Collecting Olympic passes, looking at downtown Olympic decorations, riding on the Olympic Line streetcar, landing up on Granville Island~~~ :D

♥ Beautiful Vancouver ♥

Cinema Paradiso (se)

Cinema Paradiso (se)
Josh Groban

Italiano:

Se tu fossi nei miei occhi per un giorno
Vedresti la bellezza che piena d`allegria
Io trovo dentro gli occhi tuoi
E nearo se magia o lealta

Se tu fossi nel mio cuore per un giorno
Potreste avere un`idea
Di cio che sento io
Quando m`abbracci forte a te
E petto a petto, noi
Respiriamo insieme

Protagonista del tuo amor
Non so se sia magia o lealta

Se tu fossi nella mia anima un giorno
Sapresti cosa sono in me
Che m`innamorai
Da quell`istante insieme a te
E cio che provo e
Solamente amore


English:

If you were in my eyes for one day
You could see the full beauty of the joy
I find in your eyes
And it isnt magic or loyalty

If you were in my heart for a day
You would have an idea
Of what I feel
When you hold me strongly to you
Heart to heart,
Breathing together

Protagonist of your love
I dont know if it's magic or loyalty

If you were in my soul for a day
You would know what is inside me
That I fell in love
At that instant, together with you
And what I sense
Its only love.




I wanna watch the movie and see what it is like! :)

Another great Italian song~~~

Josh Groban - Gira Con Me

Italiano

Il mondo gira con me questa notte
Piccoli passi che faccio con te
Seguo il tuo cuore e seguo la luna
Cosi' nascosta lontana da me

Il mondo gira con noi questa notte
Ah esistesse lontano da qui
Un posto dove scoprire il mio cuore
Sapere se lui puo' amare o no

E girera e girera
il cuore mio assieme a te
E girera il mondo girera
La mia vita e un giorno lui si s capira

Sei tu che giri con me questa notte
Sei tu che giri lontana da qui
Ma si io so che tu sei la mia luna
qualcosa mostri qualcosa no

Ci sono strade azzurre nel cielo
Ci sono occhi e il cielo e gia li
Si questo credo che siano le stelle
Ah se potessi fermarmi cosi

E girera e girera
il cuore mio lontan da te
E girera il mondo girera
Questa notte e un giorno lui si s capira

Cuore e gia lontano
Si tu sei la luna
Potessi scoprirlo nel cielo

E girera e girera si girera il cuore mio
Girera il mondo girera la mia vita
Un giorno lui si si capira
Un giorno lui si si capira


English

The world wanders with me tonight
Little steps I take with you
I follow your heart and I follow the moon
So hidden far away from me
The world wanders with us tonight

Ahhhhh if only far away from here existed
A place where to discover my heart
To know if it can love you or not

And it will wander and it will wander
This heart of mine along with you
And the earth will wander
My life will wander and yes yes one day it will understand

It's you who wanders with me tonight
It's you who wanders far from here
But yes I know that you are my moon
Something you show, something you don't

There are blue roads in the sky
There are eyes, and the sky is already there
Yes, I think this is the stars
Ahh, if I could stop like this

And it will wander, and it will wander
My heart far from you
And the earth will wander
My life will wander and one day yes, yes it will understand

Heart already far away
Yes you are the moon
If only i could discover it in the sky

And it will wander, and it will wander
Yes it will wander this heart of mine
And the earth will wander, my life will wander
And one day yes it will understand
And one day yes it will understand you

Cool Hwhip!



Stewie: Ooh, let me have some of that Cool Hwhip.

I'll Miss You

Mi Mancherai - Josh Groban

Mi mancherai se te ne vai
Mi mancherà la tua serenità
Le tue parole come canzoni al vento
E l'amore che ora porti via

Mi mancherai se te ne vai
Ora per sempre non so come vivere
E l'allegria, amica mia, va via con te

Mi mancherai, mi mancherai, perchè vai via
Perchè l'amore in te si è spento
Perchè, perchè...
Non cambierà niente lo so
E dentro sento te

Mi mancherai, mi mancherai, perchè vai via
Perchè l'amore in te si è spento
Perchè, perchè...
Non cambierà niente lo so
E dentro sento te

Mi mancherà l'immensità
Dei nostri giorni e notti insieme noi
I tuoi sorrisi quando si fa buio
La tua ingenuità da bambina, tu...

Mi mancherai amore mio
Mi guardo e trovo un vuoto dentro me
E l'allegria, amica mia, va via con te


Every time I hear this I feel like crying.. Josh Groban does such a good job.. Makes me all emo and teary-eyed... So much emotion in this song..

MY GOSH! I'm 22!!!!!!!

Think think think...

It's a very interesting natural phenomena. I extend this on my roommate's theory: "When we have labels, we have expectations."

This is very true, especially when we are talking about people. I find myself doing that sometimes.. Maybe that's why things didn't work out a few years ago... And I knew that's why.. And so..

During these last few years, I have been trying to live by having no expectations, so that I won't be faced with disappointments. Sometimes it works, but maybe these days it is slipping away.

How about the quote about shooting for the moon? It says if you miss, you'll still land among the stars... That's making a goal, just a fine line away from having expectations... A goal is what motivates you to push yourself..

And to add another variable to the equation, how about wishes? You wish for something, which you want to happen. But is it going to come true? Like making a birthday wish, or wishing on a star... There's no certainty nor control over what will happen... What about hopes? You hope for something, like good weather, but it is unlikely that you can do anything about it...

So what exactly marks the minor differences among hopes, wishes, goals and expectations??? How do you know that you are making a goal and not setting expectations? I really want to know the answer...

Italiano!

Ciao!

Italiano it is!

Lots of work... I hope I can make it!!!

I wish I can watch all of Giada's episodes again..

And everyone says Italian is a romantic language.. Is it? I didn't know that, nor have I realized it yet.. Ask me again in a month or two probably??

Buona notte!

Some thoughts running through my mind...

I have just realized..

It's not about believing or not, it's about choosing what to believe.

I realized something has changed. It's no longer what it used to be. Is that a good thing? Maybe things are changing; life is changing us.

I don't know.
