i wish an orchestra & someone with a boombox would follow me around so that my life would continuously be accompanied by a soundtrack.

Head Over Heels

Head over here and take me
Head over heels and aching
When I told you I was yours
I was yours

In this life, you’re the one place I call home
In this life, you’re the feeling I belong
In this life, you’re the flower and the thorn
You’re everything that’s fair in love and war

I’m coming down like a gunshot
In all these battles I’ve fought
You’re the mark I’m aiming for
I was yours

In this life, you’re the one place I call home
In this life, you’re the feeling I belong
In this life, you’re the flower and the thorn
You’re everything that’s fair in love and war
In love and war

Head over heels
Head over heels
In this life, I’m stubborn to the core
In this life, I’ve been burning after more
We both know what these open arms are for
You’re everything that’s fair
In this life, you’re my only one
In this life, you’re my only one
In this life, you’re my only one
In this life, you’re my only one

In this life, you’re the one place I call home
In this life, you’re the feeling I belong
In this life, you’re the flower and the thorn
You’re everything that’s fair in love and war

i slept through my alarm today >_< i have work tomorrow. i'm having a hard time focusing on this video of the lecture for one of my classes. i'm getting my molars taken out on the 15th. not excited. i'm wanting bubble tea at the moment - taro or avocado. actually thai iced tea sounds better. either way i can't have any right now. i have class and work tomorrow. i have to organize the professor evaluation sheets from 2005-2006: a big honkin' huge file. does anyone else watch the hills? it's like my guilty pleasure. isn't that spencer guy such a !@#(%&*^ he reminds me of someone. heh. no comment. is it friday yet?

still here

lol. i think it's funny that the snow is still here. it's so bright outside, with the daylight reflecting the whiteness of the snow. makes me wish it was still christmas. so two days of school closures. actually three now if you count mlk day. lol. awesomeness. minus the homework.

snow day polaroiding



SNOW!

finally...
outside is looking lovely
with the snow oh so soft and fluffy
just like maya and austy's new puppy
his name's teddy
and he's a cutey!

finally, a snow day for us portlanders.

hanging on Your love

In this world of news
I've found nothing new
I've found nothing pure
Maybe I'm just idealistic to assume that truth
Could be fact and form
That love could be a verb
Maybe I'm just a little misinformed

As the dead moon rises
And the freeways sigh
Let the trains watch over the tides and the mist
Spinning circles in our skies tonight
Let the trucks roll in from Los Angeles
Maybe our stars are unanimously tired

Let your love be strong
And I don’t care what goes down
Let your love be strong enough
To weather through the thunder clouds
Fury and thunder clap
Like stealing the fire from your eyes
All of my world hanging on your love

Let the wars begin
Let my strength wear thin
Let my fingers crack
Let my world fall apart
Train the monkeys on my back to fight
Let it start tonight
When my world explodes
When my stars touch the ground
Falling down like broken satellites

Let your love be strong
And I don’t care what goes down
Let your love be strong enough
To weather through the thunder clouds
Fury and thunder clap
Like stealing the fire from your skies
All that I am hanging on
All of my world resting on your love

discontinued?!!

they've discontinued the production of polaroid back attachments for the holga camera. and i'm saddened by this. so now i'll have to keep watch on ebay, prophotosupply, maybe even amazon, for a used one. nething will do. guess i'll be purchasing a polaroid camera.

around portland

psu on a cold night



down in the "food for thought" cafe.

snow?

what the heck happened to you? you were suppose to pour down in portland... and school was supposed to be cancelled... etc. etc. etc. i blame the weather man!

and the term begins...

been to my first class - an ethics class for computer science undergrads. the first session was pretty much just going over the syllabus. no lectures. we were there for like... half an hour. so priya and i headed to smith and ate lunch and chatted - which we haven't done in a long time: eating at smith and just sitting there hanging out. kind of odd. my next class is voice, and i'm not sure really what to expect from it. i have about an hour to get there, so i'm sitting here in smith... bored, with no homework [yet] that i could work on. don't feeling like buying books from the bookstore as it's packed with people since it's the first day of the term.

that's my God.

"Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you..."

this was God speaking to the israelites in isaiah 43:4. and being adopted through Christ, the same thing applies to those who have Jesus in their lives -- to me... the God of all gods, who is great, mighty, and bigger that our finite brains can imagine, tells me that "you are precious and honored in my sight, and i love you".

awestruck.

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."

... because He loves me.
