I attended a friend’s wedding this weekend and I was pleasantly surprised when my friend (the bride) sang one of my favorite songs ever, Something In Your Eyes, by Dusty Springfield. She cried when she was singing, and I almost cried with her. I love the song so much, that’s why I couldn’t help but become teary-eyed while I was watching her sing the song to her new husband. Theirs is a beautiful love story and I’m so happy she found her perfect match. Check out the lyrics of the song here.

I think Something In Your Eyes is a really beautiful song. It has such a wonderful melody, and the words have so much meaning. I love Dusty’s voice on it too. Try to listen to the message of the song, and I’m sure, if you have experienced love, or know what love is, you’ll appreciate the song. It speaks of love, how after all the waiting and loving, they end up together, forever. Seeing that something in your lover’s eyes, you know where you’re life is leading to… a life with that person. If I were to get married someday to the love of my life, I’ll definitely sing this song to him. What can I say, I’m a hopeless romantic, so just listening to this song, gives me goosebumps.

Seeing my dear friend marry the person she loves and the perfect match for her… it’s a wonderful feeling. I could see the happiness and love in their eyes as they looked at each other. There’s something in their eyes that’s unmistakably real and true. It’s wonderfully amazing to see my friend so radiant and happy on her wedding day. She has been through so much in her life, and she deserves this guy who loves her unconditionally. I’m just so happy for her.

When I look at myself in the mirror, I see an imperfect person. Just trying to fit in… trying to do my best in this crazy world. Sometimes it’s hard when I see people around me and I get discouraged, but one thing I constantly remind myself, is never to let them destroy my faith and beliefs. Because these are the things that make me the person that I am. I refuse to let other people get me down. The world may have so much evil in it, but it’s also full of good… of love and hope. And that’s what I want to incorporate into my own world. Someday, I’d like to look at myself in the mirror, and what I’d want to feel is contentment. More than anything else, I’d like to look at myself and be satisfied about how I lived my life. When all else is said and done, I’d like to be able to smile and say to myself, I did my best.

When it comes to financial matters, it’s good to have both savings account and checking account. It pays off, because sometimes when you don’t have cash at hand, it’s good to be able to just write a check and purchase whatever stuff you want to buy. Some people find it convenient to write checks so they get Checking Accounts from their banks. There are places which offer free checks so if you’re interested, might as well avail them. It all depends on you, whichever method you think fits you. You can use credit cards or cash, but there are people who prefer checks for their own personal reasons. And I think checks are professional looking, don’t you agree?

Remember my friend who owns a Harley? Well, he decided to sell his bike yesterday, because he needed some money and it was the only option he had. He hated to part with his beloved bike, but he had to, because of financial reasons. But he told me he still would want to buy another Harley, but a much cheaper one compared to his. He didn’t want to buy any other bike, because he thinks Harleys are the best. So we checked out this place which sells used Harleys and tried to see which one he could buy. He said it wouldn’t be the same, but at least he could still ride, which is the one thing he really loves to do. So we checked out the bikes there, and he started thinking about which one he could actually buy. He saw some really cool stuff, but he told me he’s taking his time to decide. I told him, well, whatever he buys, I just wish he wouldn’t let me ride in one again. Hehe.

I’ve always wanted a car, I’ve longed for it since I don’t remember when. I particularly would love to have a beetle. I love it’s look, I think it’s perfect for women. And it’s not just to look cool or anything, I really need it because it’s convenient and it can get me anywhere I want to go, at anytime. And of course, with the ever increasing prices of public utility vehicles, having a car could really allow me to save in the long run.

But I know it’s not that easy to just decide to buy a car. There are so many things to consider, the biggest of which is money of course. When buying a car, it’s not just the price of the car itself that you have to worry about, you also have to be financially ready for all the other costs that go along with it, like car insurance, maintenance costs, repair costs, etc. (like the price of the car itself is not expensive enough already). Anyway, one thing I do know is that I can’t afford to buy myself a car. At least not just yet. But someday I hope I can afford to buy my own beetle. My fingers are crossed.

For me, there’s a distinct way in which a man can make a woman FEEL. Listening to this song and understanding the lyrics, it actually is an accurate description of how love can capture a woman and make her feel all different kinds of emotions from a man. Some may feel that the words are an exaggeration, but that’s what makes it even more meaningful and deep. Think about it, even just a simple touch from a man you love can bring shivers, literally. Right? A simple smile can make the knees go weak. Even when your eyes are closed, he seems to be the only face that keeps popping up.

It’s amazing how a man can cause a variety of feelings in a woman… it’s something that has no comparison really. We can use metaphors to explain them or compare them with other things, but everything is still just shallow representations of what we REALLY feel deep inside. You have to experience it for yourself to know exactly what it’s all about.

I just love the melody of this song and the attempt to explain how a man can make a woman feel. Can you relate to the song?

I’ve heard of Vegas and Reno, I know that they’re the most visited destinations when it comes to fun and casinos. The third most visited, which I haven’t heard until now is Laughlin, Nevada. It’s supposed to be a friendlier, more family oriented alternative than Vegas and Reno, which are more adult-oriented. It’s popular as a resort destination and it offers outdoor and family activities for everyone. There are also laughlin hotels that provide luxurious accommodations. I’ve never been there, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy myself when given the chance to visit there. It sounds like a really nice and fun place. Have you guys been to Laughlin? What did you think about it?

Nowadays, we can’t afford to get sick anymore. With high prices of medicine and hospitalization bills, getting seriously sick is a huge blow, not just to our bodies but to our pockets as well. Proper diet, a healthy lifestyle, plus taking multivitamins can only do so much. We can never really predict when sickness will occur, or when we will be struck by virus or bacteria. It always helps to be financially prepared. That’s why health insurance is so vital these days. Investing in one will allow you to rest easy knowing that in case of a health emergency, you’ll be sure that you’re going to be well taken care of. Life is worth living so we should learn to value our health. What do you say?

I looked at the clock ticking,
I asked myself, what if I can turn back time?

I’ll turn the hands back to 10 minutes ago…
My co-worker came to talk to me about a problem
But I was too irritated… I couldn’t even smile at her.

I’ll turn the hands back to 12 hours ago…
My brother asked for help with homework
But I was too busy… I snapped at him and turned him down.

I’ll turn the hands back to 8 days ago…
My friend came to apologize for a mistake she did
But I was so hurt… I stuck to my pride and turned away.

I’ll turn the hands back to 5 months ago…
My father scolded me for staying out too late at night
But I was so angry… I said hurtful things and walked away.

I’ll turn the hands back to 3 years ago…
I took someone for granted, and now he’s gone,
To a place where I can’t follow…

If only I could turn back the hands of time
If only I could… I’ll do everything right.
