Mind Full of Bells

Let me see.. I wanted to get married.

Yeah, I know people will say "about time". I have no aversions to matrimony, in fact - I like the thought of getting to start my own family. The thing is, I am back to square one in SAVING. Hun and I are not the type of couple who loves to rely on their parents. He absolutely loathes asking his parents for money since he knows he is old enough to earn it. And I am the breadwinner of my family. Had to wait to let for my siblings to finish college so they can replace me - kinda like taking turns in taking care of the bills and our mom.

Today, my brother let me asked me to listen to another rendition of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major - one of my favorite classics ever since I heard it from My Sassy Girl. This time, it version was played with two acoustic guitars only. And it was lovely.

So my thoughts went to marriage again.. sigh!
As far as my plans (that was made only in my head), here are some tidbits:

1) motif - although my favorite color is purple, I like to have a summer/spring motif plus RED. I like the contrast of bloody red roses over white lilies.
2) place - expensive i know.. but I would wish for it to be held in the Glass Garden. Place is not to far from home. Don't like the idea of our guests family and friends to travel from one place to another. As much as I would like it to be in a church, I think it is more fair to be like a garden wedding.
3) date - tough to decide. though I would love to be a June bride.
4) cake - tiny cupcakes na may wedding theme.. saw something like that in multiply.. customized. so each guest can take a piece. what the heck will I do with layers of cake?
5) honeymoon - definitely Macau or Greece
6) dress - I want it plain and simple. Nothing too lacey.. after all, there is always the veil right? but I want my hair to be style with mini pearls or swarovski crystals..
7) groom - hunny. (non-negotiable)

Well, as much as I would like to daydream while writing these, I need to get back to reality. Someday, I will have these things for real..

God makes all things beautiful in His time.

For All You've Done

For all You've done
For all You're going to do
We give You thanks
And lift our praise to You


We give thanks
We give praise
For we know
That all things work together
For our good
We give thanks
We give praise
For by faith
We know Your grace
Will see us through


For all those things
That we don't understand
We come by faith
And place them in Your hands


Even if we stumble
Even if we fall
You will not forsake us
You are King and Lord of all
Lord of all

I am not pissed off - or so that it was I am trying to convince myself.
I hope you will at least try to be not absurd because this is not funny anymore.
And I am the point that I am so losing my patience - with all my hopes and dreams with it.

I Could Not Ask For More


I could not ask for more
Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smile just to see the
Smile upon your face
These are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
And these are the moments
I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are
Is everything in me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
And these are the moments
I know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more
Than this time together
I could not ask for more
Than this time with you
And every prayer
Has been answered
Every dream I've had's come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me
Yeah

These are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
And these are the moments
I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more
Than this time together
I could not ask for more
Than this time with you
And every prayer
Has been answered
Every dream I've had has come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Oh, here with you here with me
No, I could not ask for more
Than this love you gave me
Cause it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
No, yeah
No, I could not ask for more

Moonriver


Moon river wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
You dream maker, you heart-breaker
Wherever you're going I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
Theres such a lot of world to see
Were after the same rainbows end
Waiting round the band
My huckleberry friend, moon river
And me

For Your Eyes Only


I have always loved James Bond movies.. I am in fact, an avid fan. With the guns and the girls.. the thrills and romance comes their renowned OST... one of which became my fave song when I first seen it in when I was in high school. Fancy that, the year it was shown was the same year that I was born.. :)

Location was in Greece.. sigh.



For your eyes only, can see me through the night
For your eyes only, I never need to hide
You can see so much in me, so much in me that's new
I never felt until I looked at you

For your eyes only, only for you
You'll see what noone else can see, and now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only, only for you
The love I know you need in me, the fantasy you've freed in me
Only for you, only for you

For your eyes only, the nights are never cold
You really know me, that's all I need to know
Maybe I'm an open book because I know you're mine
But you won't need to read between the lines

For your eyes only, only for you
You see what no one else can see, and now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only, only for you
The passions that collide in me, the wild abandoned side of me
Only for you, for your eyes only

Tattooed on My Mind

Maybe you soon forget about all
or maybe you'll miss it like I do

one thing's for sure:
I'm all knocked out
spend too much time thinking of you

And I can't get you out of my dreams
Now I know that you're the dangerous kind
and your smile is tattooed on my mind
And I can't get you out of my dreams

Don't wanna write, I don't wanna call,
- I would not know what to say
It should be you, that's how I want it to be
Tell me you feel the same way

And I can't get you out of my dreams
Now I know that you're the deja vu's kind
and your smile is tattooed on my mind
Cause I can't get you out of my dreams

Oh, yesterday I was feeling safe
All I do today is trying to be brave
And no melody can seem to soothe my mind
And now I curse you for being so sweet and so kind

And I can't get you out of my dreams
Now I know that you're the deja vu's kind
and your face is tattooed on my mind
And I can't get you out of my dreams

Yes I know you're tatooed on my mind you're tatooed.....

Dream A Little Dream

Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you" Birds singin’ in the sycamore trees Dream a little dream of me Say nighty-night and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me While I’m alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on dear Still craving your kiss I’m longin’ to linger till dawn dear Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me Stars shining up above you Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you" Birds singin’ in the sycamore trees Dream a little dream of me. Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me Yes, dream a little dream of me
