My younger sister is now officially a nurse!

All the hard work, the fretting, the stressing
and the nightmares was worth it all!

You are now officially:



A nurse.

Sigh...

I don't want to go!



I don't.



I don't.

Of twilight and new moon

I'm such a sucker for surprises.

I get all giddy and I can't seem to stop fidgeting and acting like a 3 year old all over again -very close to bouncing all over the place but still has the decency to stop myself from doing so. Hands almost too itchy to open a brightly colored box, or that gut feel in the pit of my stomach that something is brewing but I just can't put my finger on it.

But what I didn't count on was a surprise I got yesterday afternoon.

It wasn't the most grandiose of things, but it did move me. So much so that I cried a little. Maybe some would think of this as something too shallow to shed some tears on or that I am much too easy. Well, for some parts of my life, yes I am easy to please and much to my chagrin, I know that there are parts of me that seems insatiable much to the dismay of others.

But don't let me digress.

Just the other day, I was devouring the book (which I heard is the latest craze next to the Harry Potter mania) I was careful not to finish the said book in a day because I know that I won't be able to go out anytime soon to purchase the second book if I finish it too fast. Unfortunately, reading is much too delicious for me, I barely have the will power to stop reading until the last page (Given that the book is of course able to pique my interest) So much to say, I did finish the book yesterday. I was at home thinking when I will be able to read the next one, when a Demi-God came with book two at hand.

Yes, yesterday I received a book.

But to me it wasn't just any book. It was the gesture. It was unexpected, it was purchased with me specifically in mind, and it was thoughtful.
I was downright touched.

As I was getting ready to sleep last night (of course after reading quite a few chapters of my new book), I realize that it still holds true for me, it's not the dates in fancy hotels, nor the flashy cars. In reality, I'd rather curl up in bed with a good book on my lap, be able to glance up every now and then to check what my partner is doing and look forward to an afternoon nap after the pillow talks and warm warm kisses.

Slow Me Down

Rushing and racing and running in circles
Moving so fast I'm forgetting my purpose
Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning
Getting nowhere

My head and my heart are colliding chaotic
Pace of the world I just wish I could stop it
Try to appear like I've got it together
I'm falling apart

Save me
Somebody take my hand and lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
Cause I'm ready to fall

Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down

Sometimes I fear that I might disappear
In the blur of fast forward I falter again
Forgetting to breathe
I need to sleep
I'm getting nowhere

All that I've missed I see in the reflection
Pass me while I wasn't paying attention
Tired of rushing, racing and running
I'm falling apart

Tell me
Oh won't you take my hand and lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
Cause I'm ready to fall

Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down

Just show me
I need you to slow me down
Slow me down
Slow me down

The noise of the world is getting me caught up
Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it
Just need to breathe
Somebody please

Slow me down

No regrets...
