Just say yes...

I absolutely adore this song. I love everything about it.


Just say yes, just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love

Just say yes, coz Im aching and I know you are too
For the touch of your warm skin
As I breathe you in

Relationship Whore

My friend recently broke up with her boyfriend of four years. The situation was quite complicated. His home town is far north and her hometown is here. They spent their time together in college until the inevitable day arrived. They're both back in their hometown and for some reason she loves him but can't stand not being able to be near him. It seems as though it's much easier to separate than be together in spirit and physically apart. It was my first time seeing a tear trickle down her face.

So it's probably about four months now. Apparently she's already dating. Where the hell is my date? I've been single for 3+ years. I feel embarrassed, self-pity and almost sad that I'm not dating much less in a relationship. I suppose however that it's not anyone's fault but perhaps fate. I might even be able to claim that my situation is complicated also.

She said in a playful way that she's a relationship whore because she likes being in relationships. She's my best friend so all I want for her is to be safe, happy and healthy. I'm happy for her but it's bittersweet because I feel sad for myself.

Sigh...



P.S. I can't find a thematic picture of how I'm feeling, because, I can't identify this emotion.

Who am I to say you love me?

I really like this song. I think it's so beautifully composed. It's pretty much a tear jerker. The singer sings from the depth of her heart with sadness seeping from every pore. I absolutely adore the piano that is played in the background.

To think that you know everything is folly and in this song she admits that she doesn't know anything. Heck, these days, you can put me in the same category.

First snowman ever!

It rarely snows in Houston so whenever it does the entire city gets very excited. City officials prepare for possible disasters, many work places declare a snow day and schools close. The reason for some panic is because the city of Houston is not able to manage snow conditions like other cities. Also, most Houston drivers drive terribly as is (I almost got forced off the road today!) and almost all the drivers lack snow driving skills and techniques.

The last time I can remember snow in Houston was on Christmas Eve of 2004. It was wonderful but sadly I was working during the short period of snowfall. After I went home I got to play by myself with what little snow I could find on my parent's car. Last year it snowed on December 10th 2008 but I was at school and just finished working out at the rec center only to start working diligently on my project inside the library.

Finally! This year it snowed nearly the whole day on Friday December 4th. It was such a beautiful sight to see snow fall so heavily. It was a winter wonderland that everyone in Houston enjoyed. The snowfall was consistent and by around 1pm you could see extremely large flakes collect on the ground. I was at work but got off early in time to romp in the snow. For the first time in my life I had the opportunity to build a snowman. I admit, it is much more difficult than I thought; which reminds me, I should visit the gym very soon.

Hopefully, the next time it snows I will have someone very special to share the experience with and we can build a snowman together.

Here is an excerpt from The Sun, Community news:

Before Friday morning, the earliest snowfall on record happened just last year, when Houston saw .03 inches of snow on Dec. 10.
The most snowfall on record for our Gulf coast city was 20 inches that fell in over two days, Feb. 14 and 15 in 1895.

Snowman photos!

It looks huge!

Cool mowhawk.

I got tired so I was only able to build it as high as my knee. I think I have frost bite on my pinkie fingers.

Wow, is this not a ridiculous word? I'd be troubled if it became a ubiquitous word one day. I'd prefer to pronounce it as bon (as in bonbon's)... homie (as in whaddup homie!?)...


bon⋅ho⋅mie [bon-uh-mee, bon-uh-mee]

–noun
frank and simple good-heartedness; a good-natured manner; friendliness; geniality.

Love, inescapable.

Abstruse emotions perturbed by beauty and nature. No one can rebuff the sweet taste. Delightful… delightful…

Classic

I know not all people like classical music but I grew up being forced to play them so I eventually stumbled upon ones I enjoyed. I actually don't like all classical music but I love the calm types like this.
