oracle.

I am soooo addicted to this song.

Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I’d say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

You’ve got opinions, man
We’re all entitled to ‘em, but I never asked

So let me thank you for your time, and try not to waste anymore of mine
And get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe, but I’m not drowning
There’s no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

You sound so innocent, all full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to jump up on board with you
And ride off into your delusional sunset

I’m not the one who’s lost with no direction
But you’ll never see

You’re so busy making maps with my name on them in all caps
You got the talking down, just not the listening

And who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

All my life I’ve tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it’s my turn to decide


Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?

Let me hold your crown, babe.

option.

How do you guys pick songs to stay in your iTunes(Or whatever other music player you use)?


Do you pick the songs that are catchy?
Cause you're hot then you're cold, you're yes then you're no....

Songs that will calm you down?
The world is all around us, it's much too big to see...

Or maybe songs that you hope will someday mean something more?
I'll be your crying shoulder, I'll be love's suicide...

Perhaps songs that you think would sum up your life?
I don't wanna be like Cinderella, sitting in a dark old dusty cellar...

Maybe just songs that get you dancing?
Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard...

For me, it's mainly the lyrics. If the lyrics suck, the only way it stays in my iTunes is the song is sooooo catchy that I can't bear to delete it. Though after some time I do go through all my songs and delete the ones that I don't like anymore.



P.S Props to you if you could guess all the songs right without Googling the lyrics =). Answers below.

soda shop.

Slightly random post.

goodbye, prince charming
and drown sleeping beauty
shove Cinderella’s slipper where the sun don’t shine
toss the little mermaid back out to sea
cuz the fairy godmother had to perform another abortion today
and the seven dwarves live in the forest, of course, cuz they were driven away
but this part of the story could spark a cultural rage
so at the sound of the tone we just turn the page

Ever After Happily by Jay Brannan



Haha. From MyLifeIsTwilight. Yes there actually is such a website.
And if you laughed at the Harry Potter reference, *high five* =D.


How can my kpop love die when there are constantly new things for me to watch? Jung Yong Hwa (C.N.Blue) and SeoHyun (SNSD) are pairing up for WGM. Can't wait to see this couple play out. Yong Hwa looks like the nice guy while SeoHyun has said that she isn't interested in guys. Not in the lesbian way but rather the guys are not worth the time and effort way. Haha.

Gah. This is the result of no internet for 3 days. Information overload.

heartbeat.


The Only Exception by Paramore. Pam's cover!! =D



keep a straight face
and i've always lived like this, keeping it comfortable, distance
and up until now i had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
because none of it was ever worth the risk

Cause I’m still learning the art of love
I’m still trying to not mess up
So whenever I stumble let me know
You need to spell it out
You need to spell it out
You need to spell it out
You need to spell it out for me
Cause I’m still trying to learn the art of love

Art Of Love ~ Guy Sebastian feat. Jordin Sparks.



Is love really something that you have to learn? Something that gets better with practice? More of a trial and error thing? Or does it come naturally when you find the right person?

physicist.

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

The Big Bang Theory Theme Song. Must watch!!!

quarantine.

Call in the airstrike, tell them to make the drop
and now she ate a cycle no-one but you can stop
Would it be fair to say that you're in love with love?

And is that enough?
I bet you feel really potent stuff
the shadows of doubt on how things turn out
are typically gray
But even the stucco on the wall
is right two times a day
and it's still enough

Just how much distance means we're on our own?
and can we be happy,
happy alone?

The universe opens up the door
and we go right in, it's there, it's new, it's cool
it's something we ain't seen before
And five minutes in
an egg timer rings
to clip off our carefree flapping wings
show us the things we can't afford
and throw us overboard
but it's still enough.

Just how much distance means we're on our own?
until i see you off at home
down the sidewalk in my head
I might be sinking like a stone
but perfectly happy
just openly happy

In my home, I've always known
I gotta be happy alone
so burn the mail, destroy the phone
yeah, I'd wanna be happy alone
the moving sky, the rocks below
All so perfectly happy alone

Our little hearts have turned to stone
I'd better be happy...
Ba da da...

right here.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife

problem not solved.

I'm not the type to get my heart broken
I'm not the type to get upset and cry
'cause I never leave my heart open
Never hurts me to say goodbye
Relationships don't get deep to me
Never got the whole in love thing
And someone can say they love me truly
But at the time it didn't mean a thing

finally see.

Feels like I haven't blogged for ages.

Anyways, no mood to update so maybe later tonight a recap on what's been happening in the past few days. 

It takes so much out of me to pretend
tell me now, tell me how to make amends

maybe, I need to see the daylight
to leave behind this half-life
don't you see I'm breaking down

Half life by Duncan Sheik

so superficial.

Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl

Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl

Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in

Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl

Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl.

I'm Not That Girl ~ Wicked OST


Me likey this song =D.

take the wheel.

Cause jersey just got colder and
I'll have you know I'm scared to death
That everything that you had said to me was just
A lie until you left
Now i'm hoping just a little bit stronger
Hold me up just a little bit longer
I'll be fine, I swear
I'm just gone beyond repair


Jersey ~ Mayday Parade.


One of my current favs!!!

all night.

I will never be, I will never be tall, no
And I will never be, never ever be sure of it all
Oh, why is the world so cruel to me
When all, all I ever want to be is anything I'm not

Anything I'm Not ~ Lenka



Can't believe it's the last day of the year already. Ian has already left. Trixie, Wui Yang and Aaron are leaving tomorrow. Jia Lik is leaving on Sunday. And I start college on Monday.

So yeah, one last dinner tonight before the rest leave.

green apple lollipop.

Beyoncé has the song called 'If I Were A Boy' right?

Well here's a version someone else did.

It's called 'If You Were A Boy'. Basically the same song from a male perspective.



If You Were A Boy by Shawn Stockman.


Lyrics are as follows:

If you were a boy you`d understand
How it feels when she says your best ain`t good enough
And you know you are doing all that you can

You`d go to the bar, drink a few shots of patron
Just so you can deal with a woman
That makes you feel unwanted in your own home

If you were a boy you would finally see
How it`s so frustrating when your woman
Tries to change a man she knew you would be
You listen to her but wonder “does she listen to me”
Maybe then you`d understand being a man
Is much harder than you believe

If you were a boy you will notice right away
You could be so unkind if i change my mind
So unforgiving when i make a mistake (yes you do)
Then you found you have to laugh when the coins flip on it`s back
She looks in your eyes with selfish pride and says
“I am a girl and I am allowed to do that” (aint that some shit)

If you were a boy you would finally see
How it`s so frustrating when your woman
Tries to change a man she know you would be
You listen to her but wonder “does she listen to me”
That`s for sure, the girl you live with aint always as sweet as she believes

I am the one who is there for you when you are emotionally weak
Only when you are the strongest when the world is allowed to see
I see all the imperfections, i see all the flaws when that make up comes off

If you were a boy, you'd understand

you don't define me.

Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, I won't try

even if saving you.

Britney Spears' new album is coming out in 3 weeks. But as with most albums, songs have already been leaked.

And according the Perez Hilton, the only song worth listening to is If You Seek Amy. Which sounds very similar to Trash Me by Jessie Malakouti. Personally I prefer Trash Me but there is something about the lyrics of If You Seek Amy that are special.

Say the title really fast. Done? Say it again. What does it sound like?

ifyouseekamy.

F U * K me. (Most of you should know what missing letter the * represents. If you don't, you are obviously underage or really oblivious.)

Sounds the same?

you've reminded me.

I just watched Penelope last night!! Quite like it. Not enough of James Mcavoy in it though.

There was this song that played in the credits that I really like but can't find the lyrics to.

Your Disguise by James Greenspun.

Below is what I think the lyrics are but there might be a mistake. So if anyone would look through it to see whether I'm singing the wrong lyrics.

Alone
In your mind
Waiting for the sun to shine
Alone
In your mind
Waiting for the sign

That it's time to break free
From the words that hold you down
To escape from the feeling
You are lost and can't be found

[Chorus]
Don't hide your face
You cannot erase
The pain that stays in your eyes
Lay down your guard
Show them who you are
Behind your disguise

You run far from home
You think you'll make it on your own
You run fast and slow
But never seem to know
Where you're going

To break free
From the words that hold you down
To escape from the feeling
You are lost and can't be found
You are lost and can't be found

[Chorus]

Your disguise....

[Chorus]

Behind your disguise....
Your disguise....
