Emily the Strange: Stranger And Stranger

Emily the Strange: Stranger and Stranger

I saw the price of this book on Amazon and my mouth dropped! Lol ... Emily the Strange books are just hard to find from where I am and to catch a few of them on the shelves at our local bookstores is just short of a miracle. But seriously it's availability is just so nil, I am hoping for someone or a way to get my hands on this copy. Seems like the only way to go is getting this via online purchase and I have been going through Amazon's FAQ's for International buyers and see how this goes. Am thinking of doing a one time big haul to save on shipping obviously ... so am thinking of probably another two to three weeks or so to finalize my book shopping list.

So Little Time by Arkarna

I was probably 11 when I first saw this music video on MTV and I fell in love with it. Ollie Jacobs rocking on the microphone is enough to make me drool lol. Hahahaha this was way better than the other pop songs constantly busting out of every music station at that time. This influenced my choice of music later on plus my listening to Soul Asylum prior to that, I am already on a roll. So let's revisit my childhood music influence and watch Ollie Jacobs rock ... ohhh he still rock my nickers :)

(ohhhh)       (ohhhh)

Took a while to drag me out of bed,

Aim some coffee at my head,

Saw the clock I'm running late,

It's an ordinary day.

And I'm like a dog on heat,

Knock one out and then fall asleep,

It's sad but true,

I'd rather be with you

Don't you forget about me,

When you're a celebrity,

It will be only you and me

Before too long.

So little time so much to do,

I rather spend my days with you,

So little time so much to do,

I'd like to spend one day with you,

And if that day is not enough,

Maybe we can stay in touch,

But i'm not making plans for tomorrow,

For tomorrow never comes.

Said I've been celibate for years,

Not out of choice theres no-one here,

See I can't give my end away,

Another ordinary day,

And I've love to see a little more of you,

You're clothes would look better on my bedroom floor,

bedroom floor,bedroom floor.

Don't you forget about me,

When you're a celebrity

I know you're busy,

But we all need somebody - before too long

So little time so much to do,

I'd rather spend my days with you,

So little time so much to do,

I'd like to spend one day with you,

And if that day is not enough,

Maybe we can stay in touch,

But i'm not making plans for tomorrow,

For tomorrow never comes.

Never comes

never comes

for tomorrow

never comes

Drift Away by Uncle Kracker

Not really a huge fan of him but I heard this song playing in one of the episodes of Numb3rs and it got stuck in my head. Knowing how I cannot sleep tight without figuring out what the song was I had to google ... and there it goes; Uncle Kracker's Drift Away. Lets listen to it ... shall we?

Sweet Relationship

Sweet Relation Ship Taiwan Tv Drama with English Subtitle All Region NTSC

In Meteor Garden several might have fallen for Daoming Si played by Jerry Yan while I on the other hand had fallen head over heels with Huaze Lei's character played by Vic Chou. I never thought I'd be this interested in Taiwanese dramas but this all started when I went back to Mandarin school. This is the next tv series I am planning to watch while waiting for Supernatural Season 6 to start. 

I got my DVD set when I went to Singapore during my last trip and I love it ... I haven't started watching it yet but it's next on my list. I still haven't gotten around to doing all the things on my list, once I got this sorted out I'll get right on to it.

Anime Addict | Yakitate Japan!

- Image Source: http://t1.gstatic.com - 

A friend of mine who is also an otaku recommended this anime to me and though am prolly centuries behind [lol] but I found this series hilarious and the breads are just outrageously yummy looking and out of this world. Hehehe, plus the lead character, Azuma Kazuma is rather simple minded that it made his character endearing and cute. The other characters are well created as well both in design and personality giving the well needed balance in every program. All in all, I love it and I cannot wait to get my hands on the entire volume of the manga ... to add to my collection.

Someone's Always Saying Goodbye by Toni Gonzaga

I was browsing through youtube one time and through various clicking on various links I found this song ... a revival it seems by Toni Gonzaga of the song "Someone's Always Saying Goodbye" which seemed to be an original by "Allona". I fell in love with the song instantly and couldn't seem to get it out of my head. It's heart breaking and just wonderful especially for the hopeless romantics like me. Alright then, check the video and the lyrics below.

Why do people fall in love
And they end up crying
Why do lovers walk away from themselves
When their hearts are breaking
Why does loving sometimes never stay long
Why does kissing this time
Mean you'll be gone
Why does gladness become sadness
Things that I don't get


Someone's always saying goodbye
I believe it hurts when we cry
Don't we know partings never so easy
And with all the achings inside
I believe some hearts won't survive
Trying hard to pretend
That we're gonna be fine


I could never really love
Someone else but you
I have never wanted anything else
But a love so true
But just like a dream
That comes in the night
In the morning you were out of my sight
Turned away from me
Sadly as I see
Away from where I stand

Feels Like Home by Chantal Kreviazuk

I heard this at one point while watching Dawson's Creek though I can no longer recall which season and episode but the song haunted me for like forever ... waaaaaaaa. I absolutely looooove it and it's just sweeeeeet.

Something in your eyes makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself in your arms
There's something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It Feels like home to me
It Feels like home to me
It Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from

It Feels like home to me
It Feels like home to me
It Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see through the dark there is light

If you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
If you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It Feels like home to me
It Feels like home to me
It Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from

It Feels like home to me
It Feels like home to me
It Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

Look After You by The Fray

My absolute favorite from the band, I find it utterly romantic and just endearingly sweet *sigh*. Let's listen to it shall we?

If I don't say this now I will surely break,

As I'm leaving the one I want to take.

Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait.

My heart has started to separate.

Oh, oh,

Be my baby.

Oohh.

Oh, oh,

Be my baby.

I'll look after you.

There now, steady love, so few come and don't go.

Will you won't you, be the one I'll always know?

When I'm losing my control, the city spins around.

You're the only one who knows, you slow it down.

Oh, oh,

Be my baby.

Oohh.

Oh, oh,

Be my baby.

I'll look after you.

And I'll look after you.

"If ever there was a doubt,"

My love she leans into me.

"This most assuredly counts."

She says most assuredly.

Oh, oh,

Be my baby.

I'll look after you.

After you.

Oh, oh,

Be my baby.

Oohh...

It's always have and never hold.

You've begun to feel like home.

What's mine is yours to leave or take.

What's mine is yours to make your own.

Oh, oh,

Be my baby.

Oohh.

Oh, oh,

Be my baby.

Oohh.

Oh, oh,

Be my baby.

Oohh.

Oh, oh,

Be my baby.

Oohh.

Meteor Rain

Ever since I started to continue my mandarin class [went hiatus for 3 years] I made it a habit to watch mandarin tv series Meteor Garden being one of them. Who would have thought I'd fell in love with the story line and the cast lol. Thank God for torrent I was able to download Meteor Garden I and II but couldn't find Meteor Rain anywhere. So I settled with just watching it online at mysoju.com; there's this song playing on Ximen's chapter that I really like ... take a look at the lyrics below:

When You Know by Shawn Colvin

I have watched "Serendipity" for the nth time and still get goosebumps every time I watch it. Hehehe can't help it if am a hopeless romantic. In one of the scenes the song, "When You Know" by Shawn Colvin plays in the background and I love it or rather I and several other friends love it.  Let's listen to it now shall we?

When You Know

That you know

Who you love

You cant deny it

Or go back

Or give up

Or pretend

That you dont buy it

When its clear this time

Youve found the one

You never let him go

Cause you know

And you know

That you know

When you feel

In your skin

In your bones

And the hollows

Of your heart

Theres no way

You can wait

Till tomorrow

When there isnt any

Doubt about it

Once you come this close

Cause you know

And you know

That you know

You can feel

Loves around you

Like the sky

Round the moon

This is how

Love has found you

Now you know

What to do

When you know

That you know

Who you need

You cant deny it

Or go back

Or give up

Or pretend

That you dont buy it

When its clear this time

Youve found the one

You never let him go

Cause you know

And you know

That you know

And its time

You come in

From the cold

And you know

That you know
