Deja Vu and Magic Sing

Yesterday, when I was talking to Jas over the phone, I had a vague sense of deja vu. Not about what we're talking about, just that I knew that scene was going to happen because I have seen it before.



Does that mean my life is on track?



I'm being impatient about so many things. It's just that I'm getting older and my life is stuck on second gear and I can't go any faster. I had an urge to rear up and go, but something is telling me that I have to be patient, persistent and slow down, because sometimes, good things come to those who wait.



Am I making sense?



Sorry, I'm not striving to make sense. Just an outpouring of thoughts. And these thoughts of mine are convoluted enough without making it worse by retrospection. So what's a girl to do?



I sang.



My parents bought two new chips (and you know what that means!) and so a whole new bunch of songs available for my sister and I. Yey! I didn't know there are a lot of good songs out there, and even mushy ones that I would cringe to hear on any normal day on ordinary circumstances, but in front of the TV with Magic Sing mike turned on, I just love these songs.

Well I have to stop there or else I'll list down all of Sharon's, Regine's, Air Supply's and the Carpenters' songs, because I surely love singing those. Tee hee.



I had an epiphany this morning. The Carpenters' I Need To Be In Love is a song that is applicable to me. So I just have to post the lyrics...What better way to start the first Monday of the year, than putting in nonsensical thoughts, a list and lyrics of a song? Very profound.



I Need To Be In Love

- Carpenters



The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing

There's someone in this crazy world for me.

The way that people come and go through temporary lives,

My chance could come and I might never know.



I used to say, "No promises, let's keep it simple",

But freedom only helps you say goodbye.

It took awhile for me to learn that nothing comes for free.

The price I've paid is high enough for me.



I know I need to be in love,

I know I've wasted too much time.

I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world,

And fool enough to think that's what I'll find.



So here I am with pockets full of good intentions,

But none of them will comfort me tonight.

I'm wide awake at 4 AM without a friend in sight.

Hanging on a hoop, but I'm alright.
