Nothing On But The Radio

Nothing On But The Radio
Gary Allen

I sure do hope this is a long night
Cause I have never felt one so right
Each look into your eyes, I'm falling
A little more and more

Looks like we started us a fire
Wrapped up in flames of desire
With every touch, they're burning higher
Two shadows dancing on the wall

With nothing on but the radio
Feel the music playing soft and slow
You and me and the lights down low
With nothing on but the radio

We'll fall asleep here in the moonlight
In tangled sheets, we'll be here all night
And when we wake up in the morning
We might stay like this all day
Two people meant to be together
Two lovers dreaming of forever
And it just keeps on getting better
With every tender little kiss

Nothing on but the radio
Feel the music playing soft and slow
You and me and the lights down low
With nothing on but the radio

Two people meant to be together
Two lovers dreaming of forever
And it just keeps on getting better

With nothing on but the radio
Feel the music playing soft and slow
You and me and the lights down low
With nothing on but the radio

You and me and the lights down low
With nothing on but the radio

Just A Love Song

Christian Bautista
Just A Love Song

Here we are again
And words are hard to find
But I guess that never was my style
All I have to offer is my song
So I play it well
'Cause it's all for you

It's just a love song
And I will sing it all for you
Just a love song
A simple melody for two
But to me it sounds just like a symphony
And when the words have come and gone
My love will linger on for you

Hope you'll understand
How much you mean to me
All the ways you've brought me happiness
Just to say it isn't quite enough
So I'll play it well
And I hope you'll see

It's just a love song
And I will sing it all for you
Just a love song
A simple melody for two
But to me it sounds just like a symphony
Just a love song,
Just a love song for you

It's not easy for easy for me baby
I know it's hard to understand
I get that feeling every time
I try to say I love you

All the feelings I have locked inside my soul
All the magic you bring out in me
You're my inspiration, my every dream
So listen well and I think you'll know

It's just a love song
And I will sing it all for you
Just a love song
A simple melody for two
But to me it sounds just like a symphony
Just a love song
And when the words have come and gone
My love will linger on for you

Just a love song
Just a love song for you
Holidays are here! Time to start preparing Christmas cards, presents, party, cooking and baking!!!! So many things to do.. So many things I want to bake!!! But this cloudy weather is making me sleepy.. I am ironically bored at home..

Looks like there's no snow this year.. Forecast is SUNNY on Xmas day! How pretty would that be??

My shopping list is growing by the second.. Sigh.. Good thing I saved quite a lot last month..

Bo Bo Cha Cha 101

This is my healthier, homemade version of the traditional Southeast Asian dessert.. I know it's not 100% authentic, but it was the best I could do, plus it's easy!


Step 1: Dice up yams.


Step 2: Add boiling water to tapioca flour, stir till it becomes a dough-like consistency.


Step 3: Roll out using hands and cut into cubes.


Step 4: Boil the yams and the flour cubes until cooked, and then turn off the heat and add coconut milk.


Step 5: Add sugar, stir well.


Step 6: Enjoy!


Success!!!

LIFE IS LEARNING

Sometimes, you don't learn things in school. You learn them from LIFE.

I know I have learnt a lot, especially this term. Yes, I did learn about Old English and the Canadian tax system over the course of this term in school, but I have picked up even more lessons from life in these short 3 months.

I have learned different approaches to different things. That different cultures take matters differently.. There is no right or wrong way of doing it; it's just what you personally prefer.

I have learned that things happen so quickly before our eyes that when we realize it, it has already taken so many twists and turns that it's going to be impossible to turn back and retrace the steps. Life is irreversible; we just gotta keep moving ahead as much as we want to go back and re-do what went wrong.

I have learned that we must treasure whatever we have and not push it aside until when we need it, it's gone. No matter how significant or insignificant something may seem, even the tiniest paper cuts on your hands are there for a reason. Everything is there because it just happens that way. We should take everything in our stride, and face it. Everything is there because it's important. We must not overlook the small things when we are looking at bigger issues at hand.

I have learned that people in our lives are to be loved, to be cherished, to be kept close to our hearts. One little action is enough to push them over the edge and into the vast ocean where we may never find them again.

I have learned never to let emotions take over your mind. When the mind is frazzled, it tends to do irrational things which will lead to the departure of the other important things around us.. A calm mind will lead to rational actions..

Yet most of all, surprisingly in contradiction to what I have said above, I have learned that sometimes we should not hold back too much. Sometimes we just need to let things flow naturally and not build artificial barriers against what we think we are afraid of. Do not build up walls against emotions. Leave a doorway for them to pass, and nature will take its course.

And that will conclude my lessons from these last months of 2009. And yes, appropriately, the night before my metaphor class's final exam, I will end with a metaphor: LIFE IS A LEARNING PROCESS. You never stop learning. Just keep that in mind; there is so much out there that life has to teach us.
