Saw this video on Youtube and listened to this song. It was not as great as those from the Philippine Madrigal Singers, but it was nicely sung by the University of Miami, Frost Chorale.
Just posting this song ‘coz I really find it beautiful.
The song is based from Sarah Teasdale’s poem, “I am not yours”.
I am not yours – Sarah Teasdale
I am not yours, not lost in you
not lost, although I long to be
lost as the candle lit at noon,
lost as the snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
a spirit beautiful and bright,
yet I am I, who long to be
lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love – put out
my senses, leave me deaf and blind,
swept by the tempest of your love,
a taper in a rushing wind.
PS: can’t wait for Tuesday! <3

Watching the movie “The Waitress” makes me relate to the story itself… being in an abusive relationship and wants to get away from it and to chase my dreams but being tied up because of the baby inside her (but in my case, it’s not about the baby…and I don’t wanna get pregnant right away lol!)
But in the movie, after the baby was born, something in that baby made her strong to move out of the unhealthy relationship, and to chase her dreams to become the best pie maker in their place.
I love the twist of the story and the music used in story. It was an emotional experience that makes me connect to the story itself.
I just hope and pray that I will not gonna have another abusive relationship in my life.
I would like to share this cute little lullaby from the movie, “Baby don’t you cry”. Enjoy!
Baby don’t you cry gonna make a pie
Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle
Baby don’t be blue
Gonna make for you
Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle
Gonna be a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with strawberry love
Baby don’t you cry
Gonna make a pie
Hold you forever in the middle of my heart.
Baby heres the sun
Baby heres the sky
Baby I’m the light and I’m your shelter
Baby you are mine
I could freeze the time
Keep you in my kitchen with me forever
Gonna be a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with strawberry love
Baby don’t you cry
Gonna make a pie
Hold you forever in the middle of my heart.
Gonna bake a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with butterscotch love
Gonna be a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with banana cream love
Baby don’t you cry
Gonna make a pie
Hold you forever x 2
Hold you forever in the middle of my heart

Turning Tables-Adele
(Glee version by Gwyneth Paltrow)
Close enough to start a war,
All that I have is on the floor,
God only knows what we’re fighting for,
All that I say, you always say more,
I can’t keep up with your turning tables,
Under your thumb, I can’t breathe,
So I won’t let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won’t ask you, you to just desert me,
I cant give you the heart you think you gave me,
It’s time to say goodbye to turning tables,
To turning tables,
Under haunted skies I see you, ooh,
Where love is lost, your ghost is found,
I braved a hundred storms to leave you,
As hard as you try, no, I will never be knocked down,
I can’t keep up with your turning tables,
Under your thumb, I can’t breathe,
So I won’t let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won’t ask you, you to just desert me,
I cant give you the heart you think you gave me,
It’s time to say goodbye to turning tables,
Turning tables,
Next time I’ll be braver,
I’ll be my own savior,
When the thunder calls for me,
Next time I’ll be braver,
I’ll be my own savior,
Standing on my own two feet,
I won’t let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won’t ask you, you to just desert me,
I can’t give you the heart you think you gave me,
It’s time to say goodbye to turning tables,
To turning tables,
Turning tables, yeah,
Turning, no, ooh.
Posting this one ‘coz the chorus just struck me for no reason. Well maybe there is…and now i’m standing at my own two feet and made the right choice.

Rainy days are here again!
After days of scorching summer heat, the cooling rain is here to stay for a few months (lol!)
Hope that it’s not like the typhoon Ondoy again…oopps!
Bye for now my summer sun, we’ll see you next year! (hope I could hit the beach at that time!)
Meanwhile, here’s the song for those who are now drenched in the rain…(no more raincoats for me, that goes for toddlers only, lol!)
