Thanks to NamPhuong, she linked me to this song: Fallin’ For You – by Colbie Caillat.
lyrics:
I don’t know but
I think I maybe fallin’ for you
Dropping so quickly maybe I should
Keep this to myself
Waiting ’til I know you better
I am trying not to tell you
But I want to
I’m scared of what you’ll say
So I’m hiding what I’m feeling
But I’m tired of holding this inside my head
I’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for you
As I’m standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It’s just you and me
I’m trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I’m scared of what you’ll say
So I’m hiding what I’m feeling
But I’m tired of holding this inside my head
I’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for you
Oh I just can’t take it
My heart is racing
The emotions keep spinning out
I’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for you
I can’t stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can’t hide it
I think I’m fallin’ for you (x2)
I’m fallin’ for you
Ooohhh
Oh no no
Oooooohhh
Oh I’m fallin’ for you

I absolutely adore this song!
I love everything about this song and music video: the message exchange from parallel windows, the silly dance, geeky outfits, taylor professing her love in the bleachers, to the “i love you” message exchange and then the soft instant smile. Yes, i love the details.
i even watched the making of the music video (the director, Roman, is hilarious btw)

i think i’ve become a little obsessed with Taylor Swift. So far, I think she’s the only artist that I wouldn’t mind having a poster hanging in my room (that is if i had one). hahah Anyways, one of the few reasons why i really like her is because she’s down to earth, her songs are all written by her and are all easy to relate to.
<3 (plus, i really love this picture. Books! and once again, very down to earth. PLUS, she’s gorgeous!)

I watched an episode of Grey’s Anatomy, “Sweet Surrender,” and was hooked to this song. (I LOVE Grey’s Anatomy’s song selection.)
This song came on towards the end of the episode when Meridith came out in her wedding dress. here’s a picture:

I personally think she looks gorgeous! (though.. it reminds me of Christian’s wedding dress, but not quite)
Enjoy!
“Break Me Out” – by The Rescues
My empty room
Crowded to soon
I look for the fire escape
I picture myself
Running like hell
Making my getawa
The walls are caving in with no warning
This ship is sinking, I gotta swim for it
I’m running out of air
Break me out tonight
I wanna see the sun rising anywhere but here
Come with me
Oh, this could be
The only chance we get
We gotta take it
We don’t do it now we’ll never make it
Lose this crowd
Oh break me out
Whisper of our feet
Sneak down the street
Some kind of secret race
They’ll carry on
Won’t notice we’re gone
So easily replaced
The walls are caving in with no warning
This ship is sinking, I gotta swim for it
I’m running out of air
Break me out tonight
I wanna see the sun rising anywhere but here
Come with me
Oh, this could be
The only chance we get
We gotta take it
We don’t do it now we’ll never make it
Lose this crowd
Oh break me out
The walls are caving in with no warning
This ship is sinking, I gotta swim for it
I got a feeling we’re better off anyway
I don’t care what they say
Break me out tonight
I wanna see the sun rising anywhere but here
Come with me
Oh, this could be
The only chance we get
We gotta take it
We don’t do it now we’ll never make it
Lose this crowd
Oh break me out

I can’t stop listening to this song: My love – by the bird and the bee.
here are the lyrics provided by the youtube page: (enjoy!)
My love let me go again
Right back, back to the top of the
Slide down sad clown
Oh oh oh oh oh
My clown let me love you
Whats that back to the back of the rebound
Clown hang around
Oh oh oh oh
Hey boy wont you take me out tonight
I’m not afraid of all the reasons why we shouldn’t try
Hey boy wont you make me out tonight
I get excited when I think of crawling into your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
My light take me there again
up top to the top of the
free fall a great wall
Oh oh oh oh oh
My mouth let me kiss again
sift out, sift out all of the dust
hole black hole
Oh oh oh oh
Hey boy wont you take me out tonight
Im not afraid of all the reasons why we shouldnt try
Hey boy wont you make me out tonight
I get excited when I think of crawling into your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Hey boy wont you take me out tonight
Im not afraid of all the reasons why we shouldnt try
Hey boy wont you make me out tonight
I get excited when I think of crawling into your arms
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

I used to be afraid of watching this when i was little. It’s Disney’s Fantasia’s “Night on Bald Mountain,” music composed by Modeste Moussorgsky.
I found some picture clips here.
enjoy!

Because i don’t know how to put up videos on xanga, i’m here to share something that was fairly popular in the 80’s, into the 90’s, and maybe even today: Reading Rainbow. <3
I scratched off #33 from my “before i die” list: send a care-package to someone. Happy Birthday Jasmine!

I’ve finally fixed the date setting and time.
it’s not all wacky anymore. :]
The only thing i think that will be frequently updated is the twitter (top right).

scratch that, it’s still funky

Thanks to Stickk.com, I’ve committed myself to getting to school on-time.
Penalty: For every 5 minutes that i am late getting to class in the morning, i have to give Kevin (my bf) 25 cents. It doesn’t seem like much, but.. I’m the typical poor college student and 25 cents will sure add up over time. x] plus.. i barely have anything in the bank.. so hopefully, i’ll get in the habbit of leaving my house early enough to get to class on time. Oh oh! and a challenge.. i have another 7:30 class in the morning every Monday for my bio lab. x]

titled: Adventurous, interesting, messy and wet day
On Saturday, while walking to the library from 4th street garage, i met Tylor, a classmate from my Asian American Studies class!
He helped me look for books for my speech.. and.. i went down to the lower levels of the king library for the first time!! It’s soooo cooooooooooooooooool how you can crank the spinny wheel thing and the whole shelf moves!!
!! But.. it’s kindda scary.. since someone can “accidentally” crush you between the shelves.. -_-’ Tylor would ditch me because he got “antsy” from being claustrophobic.. -__- and he even tried cranking the shelves so they would close on me a few times! scary!!
So after getting books and doing hw, kevin, vincent and i went to subways to eat. Vincent left early, and kevin and i walked back to the library (it was raining btw). When we got to the library, it was CLOSED… no extended hours for students! ahhhh….. -_____-’ So.. we decided to go to Quickly’s to work, but they close early. Then i suggested Starbucks, BUT.. when we got there (or outside), it was being renovated! so we couldn’t go in. @__@ In desperation to find a place to work (since work never gets finished at home), we called Martin, who suggested McDonalds, since they closed pretty late. So.. we continued to walk, but.. after a while, i realized that McDonalds was in the complete opposite direction.. (as you can see, i don’t know downtown san jose very well.) @_____@’ Later i called Joy, asked her if we could study in the suite lounge (and she said yes). So.. unfortunately, we had to walk all the way back to campus, but then.. i decided i wanted to go home, since my pants were soaked mid-way up my calves, and my shoes and socks were wet (from the rain).. -__-’ gross huh?
ahh.. so, for like half an hour or so, kevin and i walked around, and got nowhere.. and carrying a big heavy backpack, and 2 textbooks around is no fun. -__- When I got home, I realized my backpack was partially open, and my laptop got wet.. @_________@! now, i’m afraid of turning it on.. and finding out that there might be something wrong with it.. >_<’

Titled: The adventures of Alfie & Kevin – part 2
The Trans-Serbian Orchestra concert was HECKA awesome!!! They are the besttt.. :]
i love the fusion of Classical and rock :] It keeps things exciting and “lively.”
Yesterday after class, kevin and i went to “jam” for a bit till we got cold and hungry. So.. i drove to the park and ride, and kevin drove the rest of the day. First we went to eat Pho near my house, then we went to my house to “jam” for a bit more… till we lost track of time and had to leave in a hurry to go to kevin’s house to get stuff, pick up Anh Tai, and get to HP pavillion for the concert… xP We make the worst pair when it comes to navigating.. lots of U-turns and missed turns.. so we decided to just “wing-it” and see what happens xP. It was fun though!
Bursting out laughing while driving is dangerous.. especially when the driver is laughing too… x] NOT SAFE!
Denny’s is your friend. ![]()
(i repeat) The Trans-Serbian Orchestra concert was freaking awesome!!
If you ever get a chance to see them in concert (though they only come like once a year), go for it! And if you love hearing christmas songs, even better!! You won’t regret it! “Alfie-Garentee” ;]
