Gotta Be Somebody - Nickelback
Tuesday, November 18, 2008

This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I´ll be waiting for the real thing.
I'll know it by the feeling.
The moment when we´re meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen

So I`ll be holdin’ my breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There`s gotta be somebody for me like that.

'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

Tonight out on the street out in the moonlight
And damn it this feels too right
It´s just like Déjà Vu
Me standin’ here with you

So I´ll be holdin`my breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I spend forever with?

‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There´s gotta be somebody for me like that.

'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

You can't give up!
When you're Lookin´ for a diamond in the rough
Because you never know when it shows up
Make sure you´re holdin` on
‘Cause it could be the one, the one you´re waiting on

‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There's gotta be somebody for me.

Nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.

Nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.


Very seldom I find great lyrics that I can relate to in mainstream stuff... This happened to be one of the special ones i came across...

All in all, a great day....

Significance
Thursday, November 13, 2008

We tend to take others around us for granted... Since they have always been around...
Its only when we lose one of them...
Or even on the verge of losing one...
Only then we realize how important they are in our lives...
Only then we begin to appreciate
Such a shame...

I need a break...

Ladies Nite at MOS this thursday after exams!!!
Hopefully things turn out well.... :D


I called, YOU answered...




Ahhhh.. Finally a normal post of me blogging on my daily life after so long...

Its amazing how fast can things in just a single day...
Yesterday I was so frustrated with life..
I had so much of time to study, and I just couldnt bring myself to do so...
All I did was just spend a few hours reading the topics given by friends, praying ever so hard that the exam wud be exactly the same questions...
And I had to deal with the fact that Im gonna perform a song live that I havent mastered yet at the plaza in the evening after my exam...
Best part was I was on bass... An instrument that Im not confident at all...

I woke up this morning, embracing myself for what could be the most disasterous day of the semester...

And wat'd u know..

My whole life just took a dramatic change altogether...

The exact questions I studied the previous night actually came out...
Seriously, every single question in the paper, i did the night before..
I was writing happily all the way...

Next, I went into the sound & music studio after lunch, supposedly for our practice session before the performance...
And they told me the performance got canceled to give way to the funeral of a student who recently just passed away...
Of course, I felt bad for it, but it was a huge relieve for me...

And so, we had the studio to us..
Wat did we do? We jammed a few songs.. Among ourselves, with Joy's friend as our vocalist...
And after some time, one of the lecturer came in to the studio, telling us that the director wants to see us...

We went into the other room, and Farique of Melodica was there at the controls,
and the next thing we know, we are required to sing for their new patriotic album..

Yea!!! Sing...

That was like one of my greatest fear... For goodness sake, I even try to keep my voice down when I sing to myself in my own room...
Imagine how I felt receiving the news and dealing with the fact that I would have to sing in the presence of a frontman of an awesome rock band (which i really look high upon coz of his guitar skills and his powerful voice) and the sound & music lecturers...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

So we just carried on...
I tried my best to pull myself together...
There were about 7 of us there..
The lecturers taught us the song with the help of Farique on guitar..
They fine tuned us...

Each part, they would get all of us to sing together...
And they would correct whoever is off pitch...
And yea, I had to try to correct my pitch in front of everyone there.. Thank God I got it right the 2nd time trying...

So we did 2 songs, 2 chorus, tats it..
They recorded a few tracks, looped it to make it sound bigger...
And thats the end of day 1...

Yup, day 1..

We did 2 songs, and we have like 6 more songs to go...
I honestly still cant believe im involved in this...
Although, yea.. its only a patriotic album... not something i wud reli listen to...

And i never knew singing is that challenging...

I recently got involved in another band...
Was invited by Joy to fill in for bass... But after talking to them, they agree to have me as a guitarist since im way more comfortable playing that...
So now we have Andrew on drums, me and Joy on guitars, Davis on keys and we're currently looking for a bassist and a vocalist...
We focus more on gospel songs, reli... The main idea behind the band is to jam gospel songs, so u get the idea...
But all in all, we're good, still warming up to each other...
Although the very first time i jammed with them, I honestly did not really like it.. Honestly...

But after that, that very night, right before bed, God just told me to carry on with them.. that is where i belong now...
Honestly, at that point I didnt feel comfortable in the band at all... Therefore, I kinda denied it all..
Till today when they agree to put me on guitar... I kinda see the light, that hope for me to actually have fun jamming with these people...
And im honestly comfortable with them today in the studio...

Im just gonna carry on and see where it takes me to...
Let HIM lead the way..

From a totally dramatic and hurtful week,
To waking up to a day where I get to see all those worries go away,
And getting to live my dream even just for a short period of time...
Just amazing how things could turn around..
I can only hope for it to remain this way...
Well, for me at least...

Yea, its a very selfish post.. My apologies..

And I can only give thanks to HIM for all his blessings...

The only regret that I have is to see what a friend has to go through when Im having so much of fun...
Well, lets just say, things started off okay for him at the beginning of the day..
Carried on all the way till late at night...
When he actually got his answers from the one he's been waiting for so long...
Only thing stopping my day from being perfect....

I still had a great time altogether...
Cant recall when was the last time I had so much fun... Both in uni and back here in Desa..
If only things could remain as it is...
If only I could relive this day over and over again...

Im still looking forward till tomorrow..
Cant tell whats in for me in the studio tomorrow... Just can't wait...



Mind the cheap wordings in the pic and the messy post, its almost 4 in the morning and i desperately need sleep... :P

An unreachable destination

Unbelieveable... Just unbelieveable
How meaningless can one's words get..
How ignorant can some people be...
How dissapointing.

Its not my problem...
Its not my issue...
It certainly aint my decision
Yet it still hurt so much... WHY????

Whom shall i turn to?
Who can i still trust?
Who can i still rely on?
Who can promise me they'll never let me down?

Im not gonna care..
Scratch that..
Im gonna stop caring...
Im happy.. Yes, Im happy...

Good guys always finish last...
The myth is confirmed...
No point caring, no point loving...
We all get shit in return...


Life isn't anything like what it said in the brochures... again we are deceived by those fancy pics n words

A moment to ponder....
Monday, November 3, 2008



I go through life having short experiences that seem to end abruptly.
And then later, I find myself missing that experience and wishing I was still at that point of my life,
regardless of how much I actually liked it at that time.
I've been thinking about it a lot and I can't quite decide why I feel this way about certain things in my past.
I think that I may be using the word 'miss' incorrectly,
but only because there is no other word that expresses it better.


- Leila 'lostindisillusion'

Amazing how we can connect with someone from half way around the world that we dun even know in person...
