Details in the Fabric – Jason Mraz ft. James Morrison

Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed instead
Of running around
And pulling all your threads saying
Breaking yourself up

If it’s a broken part, replace it
But, if it’s a broken heart then brace it
If it’s a broken heart then face it

And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your own name
And go your own way

And everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
Mmmhmm

Hang on
Help is on the way
Stay strong
I’m doing everything

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

And everything, everything will be fine
Everything

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you’re shocked it’s just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing.

Yeah everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything

Hold your own
And know your name
And go your own way

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling? (Go your own way)

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic (Go your own way)
Is it Mother Nature’s sewing machine?

Are the things that make you blow (Hold your own, know your name)
Hell no reason go on and scream
If you’re shocked it’s just the fault (Go your own way)
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold

sweetness October 28, 2009

sweet but is reality that sweet?

sometimes, media builds up unrealistic ideas of romance and love, yet sometimes they do hit on the core of being in love. what is it for you?

sometimes, the feeling is so inexplicable that it doesn’t make sense but when you watch videos, read books/poetry, it somehow manages to capture that elusive feeling…

the call October 23, 2009

The Call – Regina Spektor

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
‘Til it was a battle cry
I’ll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything’s changing
Doesn’t mean it’s never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You’ll come back when it’s over
No need to say goodbye

You’ll come back when it’s over
No need to say goodbye

Now we’re back to the beginning
It’s just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can’t feel it too
Doesn’t mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
‘Til they’re before your eyes
You’ll cone back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

You’ll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

marshmallow – to eat or not to eat September 30, 2009

Omg just look at those agonised faces

and here’s the psychology part

basically, the marshmallow test is a test on delayed gratification and it is found that children who wait (delayed gratification) do better in adolescence. MEANING whether you eat or don’t eat that marshmallow can predicts how you do later in life – amazing isn’t it? I’m so going to test this on my cousins –

pensive August 25, 2009

someone asked :What is my fear?

I didn’t know what to answer. And yet I am not fearless…
I fear being alone
I fear being forgotten
I fear being left behind
I fear being useless
I fear that I will leave without leaving behind anything positive.
I fear forgetting
I fear unfeelingness
Yet at some level, these are fears that everyone has, so are they still valid fears?

I think something deep within me has changed and it is shifting my perceptions unconsciously.
