Unwritten
Natasha Bedingfield
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Oh, oh, ohI break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Pink Life
Gyskard
Searching for a day, a simple life
Among the clouds, the sky is blue
Water, stars falling around at night
My dream, your dream
Dreams come true,
Trying hard
Always follow what’s in your heart
Always listen to what’s inside
Always fly high & don’t come down
And don’t come (down)
Don't push yourself far over the limit
Push your mind ahead with your spirit
Push it to where you never thought you could go right
And never come down
You run away from a very stressing life
And take some time to think of you
Try to change the color of your life
My dream, your dream
Dreams come true
Trying hard
Always follow what’s in your heart
Always listen to what’s inside
Always fly high & don’t come down
And don’t come (down)
Don't push yourself far over the limit
Push your mind ahead with your spirit
Push it to where you never thought you could go right
And never come down

Update
Well I've been feeling so introspective this weekend that I've decided to dust off the old blog and start writing cryptic things again about my life again. To the very few people who read my posts, sorry to have disappeared for quite some time.
Last week I had one of the best few days of my life and now I'm feeling the impact of knowing it was all temporary. Of course the best recourse to feeling better is to take a look at what's working in your life and be happy for that.
Thanks to Gigi, Toni and Deepa for providing the template. Here's a look back at my previous year:
What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?
Partied in New York.
Attended game conventions – E3 in LA and G-star in Seoul.
Became a maid of honor.
Bought a surfboard.
Tried capoeira.
Shopped in Ho Chi Minh.
Lost 10 pounds.
Relaxed my hair.
Turned down an overseas job offer.
Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn’t make any and I don’t think I will…I’d rather take life as it comes one day at a time.
Did anyone close to you give birth?
Hmm…maybe the closest person would be my officemate Meng. And Mylinda got pregnant and gave birth to baby Catherine last month.
Did anyone close to you die?
No, and I am thankful for that!
What countries did you visit?
USA, Korea, Vietnam.
What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
Less of a credit card debt, a small property and true love.
What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting promoted, going on a fabulous US vacation, getting back in shape, growing my hair long, and buying a living room set.
What was your biggest failure?
Spending too much, giving in to (male!) temptation.
Did you suffer illness or injury?
The usual gastric attacks but this time so severe that I have to take a trip to the ER so they can pump the medicine in via IV.
What date from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
June 9, 2006…spending my birthday with all my friends reminded me how lucky I am.
What was the best thing you bought?
My pink luggage set. At least I look chic while traveling!
Whose behavior merited celebration?
My bosses. My friends. My family.
What did you get really, really, really excited about?
My US trip!
Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
2 guys I went out with last year. I wonder why men can’t just be honest.
Where did most of your money go?
Shopping everywhere!
What song will always remind you of 2006?
Late 2006….Irreplaceable by Beyonce.
Oct 2006…Doing too much by Paula Deanda.
Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? At this very moment…sadder.
ii. thinner or fatter? Thinner!
iii. richer or poorer? Just the same.
What do you wish you'd done more of?
Think of consequences.
What do you wish you'd done less of?
Be impulsive.
Did you fall in love in 2006? No. But I may have fallen, somewhat, last week.
How many one-night stands? None.
What was your favorite TV program? Lost. House. Prisonbreak.
Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? No.
What was the best book you read? Read too many to pick a favorite. Maybe Harry Potter’s Order of the Phoenix--- ain’t I just shallow?
What was your greatest musical discovery?
East Village Opera Company.
What did you want and got? A raise. A new phone.
What was your favorite film of this year?
I can’t even remember any movies from last year!
What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I made the big 3-0 last year. I think I bought cake, pancit and ice cream for the family on the day itself. The day after, Super F generously lent me his pad to throw a party for about 20 of my friends.
What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Finding someone to share my successes with. My year was already satisfying, make no mistake, but it would’ve been icing on the cake.
How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2006?
More colorful. More feminine.
What kept you sane?
My car. Work. Friends. The ocean.
Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Piolo forever!
Who did you miss?
When I thought about leaving the country…I realize I would miss my family the most.
Who was the best new person you met?
Hmm…maybe Alan. Imagine we still keep in touch!
Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006:
Love yourself. I always tell myself this but never truly believe it. Last year I thought I got it but there were still times that other people and situations would get me down. I hope to truly learn this someday.
Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
I think about you only twice a day…morning and evening.
The most touching experience you've had this year
My toast to Mylinda and her new husband at their wedding. I will miss having my best friend around.
What did you like most about yourself this year?
My continuing optimism which I hope to never lose.
What did you hate most about yourself in 2006?
My insecurities.
Was 2006 a good year for you?
Not the greatest yet, but it was a good year.
