Jamie Cullum - Everlasting Love

Hearts gone astray
Deep in her when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Won't you forget
Welcome love we once knew

Open up your eyes
Then you'll realise
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love

Need you by my side
Girl to be my pride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting love

Hearts gone astray
Deep in her when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Won't you forget
Welcome love we once knew

Open up your eyes
Then you'll realise
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love

Need you by my side
Girl to be my pride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting love

From the very start
Open up your heart
Feeling you forever
Everlasting love

Need a love to last forever
Need a love to last forever
Need a love to last forever
Need a love to last forever

I need a love to last forever

- it's a happy day and i thank god for the weather -

winter has started already ... this is my favorite time of the year here in taipei - as long as it's not raining :D ... but these past few days have been wet all over ....

so i'm really happy that there's not even a single drop of rain today ... it's all bright and sunny ... with a wonderful blue sky as a backdrop .... it was a truly beautiful day ...

here's a glimpse of today's weather from chireh's hike to elephant mountain - http://www.flickr.com/photos/santos1978/324855318/

(from www.tv.com)

The people of Lawndale just don't get Daria Morgendorffer. She's cool with that. See, Daria was born alienated, and now she's just trying to make it through high school with as little human contact as possible. Popularity, friends, activities... whatever. Daria lacks enthusiasm, but she makes up for it with sarcasm. Daria is the spin-off of MTV's most sucessful cartoon, Beavis and Butt-Head. Its theme song:

La la la la la
This is my stop
Got to get off I may go *pop*
Excuse me, Excuse me
I've got to be direct
If I'm wrong please correct
You're standing on my neck
You're standing on my neck
La la la la la (repeat)

and here's an unofficial daria site, but a good one ... with transcripts on episodes -> http://www.outpost-daria.com/

see what i mean about being addicted????

- daria addiction -

daria has me by the neck now ... i've watched maybe 8 episodes since last night ... and i also watched the daria movie - is it fall yet? ... and here's my favorite part, where trent sings -

betrayal, yeah, stab in the back

betrayal, yeah, i'm stretched on the rack

betrayal, yeah, thrown out of the pack

betrayal, betrayal, yeah

sooo, uhm, creative :D

- one more for daria -

*la la la la la*

after seeing the family guy on youtube, i thought about another cartoon that i loved to watch - daria !!! ... it's so funny ... i so adore daria's "dead-pan" personality ... and reactions to things ... hhmm, i just realized that daria has no reaction! :D ... i also like daria's theme song - it makes me all giddy and excited just to hear it!

- family guy -

i totally forgot about this cartoon ... i actually loved watching it ... i found its humor .... well, humorous : ) ... but it's for mature audiences only ... i found some clips on youtube ... like this,

disclaimer: jeni read this post and she commented that it might be offensive. so let me put a disclaimer right here, this post was made out of pure and sheer fun. no intention of offending anyone - including mr. wentworth miller : ).

i got caught up a little late on the prison break-mania ... and so i ended up with two seasons to work on ... and so i got to ogle wentworth miller continuously ... and what can i say? wentworth miller is hot! :D ... time and again, chireh has told me just how dreamy *i initially typed creamy hehehe* this guy is ... she even made a sketch of his head by using one of his pictures online ; ) ... but i only got to really see what chireh was saying when i started watching prison break ... i guess it was his character ... he played michael scofield who robbed a bank just to be with his brother - lincoln burrows - in prison and to help him escape ... linc was convicted of murdering the vice-president's brother and was set to die on the electric chair ... that sums it up but the twists in the series were soooo great ... aside from having michael scofield, prison break has a story that will definitely keep you at the edge of your seat - every episode! i can't wait for the 3rd season!!!!

and so, i've just finished watching the season 2 ender yesterday ... but prior to that - in the midst of my prison-break marathon - i told chireh that it would be nice if i can get wentworth miller as a sperm donor ... how will i do that? i think the best first step is to write him a letter ... it goes a little something like this -

Dear Mr. Miller,

I hope you are well upon receiving this mail from me. Can i call you Wentworth? Or would you prefer that I call you Mr. Miller?

Hmmm, I think I'd rather call you Mr. Scofield. I think the name fits you. I hope that's alright.

Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Anne and I'm 28 years old. I'm currently here in Taiwan to work but I'm really from the Philippines. If by chance you're not familiar with it, this might come in handy - https://cia.gov/cia//publications/factbook/geos/rp.html

Mr. Scofield, I'll stop beating around the bush. The reason why I'm writing is because I would like to ask you to be my sperm donor - in the event that I need one. I would like to make it clear that you just need to squirt whatever you've got in a flask or whatever container - as long as it's sterile. I'm a little OC (Obsessive Compulsive but you probably know that already) although some of my friends may not agree that the level of my OC-ness can be categorized as little.

Sorry for digressing ...

Going back, I'm willing to pay you know but i hope you won't ask for a humongous amount of money. As you may very well know if you're familiar with the Philippines, I came from a third-world country. So I can't really offer much. However, if you'll give it to me for free, I'll forever be grateful.

You can rest assure, Mr. Scofield, that I won't expect anything from you. As I said, I only need you to be my sperm donor. No strings attached. I can even be sworn to secrecy of the arrangement, if you want. To be sure, we can even have the deal notarized so that you can sue me if ever I black-mail you or something.

I think I've said all the things that I want to say to you. I hope you'll consider my request/offer. If you decided that you don't want to do it, would you be so kind as to pass this letter to Fernando Sucre? To be honest, I really prefer to have a blue-eyed donor (I read somewhere that you have blue-green eyes so you're just about right) but I'm okay with Mr. Sucre as well.I think he's mighty fine too.

Thank you so much for reading my letter. I hope you reply soon.

Hugs and Kisses,
Anne from the Philippines

P.S. 1
If you prefer to sleep with me, I would probably say no.
But I'd be really flattered : )

- the naked truth -

an e-mail has been going around about angelica panganiban's ginebra calendar (http://codamon.com/2006/11/angelica-panganiban-ginebra-san-miguel-gsm-2007-calendar-ads/) ... the e-mail has pictures of the before and after - before and after the pictures have been photoshopped ... it was amazing! ... just goes to show what technology can do!

i'm in the process of learning photoshop ... i'm hoping to make me a size 0 - minus the diet and the exercise ... or better yet, maybe i can make myself look like angelina jolie :D
