a thousand years

by Christina Perri

Heart beats fast, colors and promises
How to be brave, how can I love when I’m afraid
To fall but watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still, beauty I know she is
I will be brave, I will not let anything take
Away what’s standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid, I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

I’ve been hearing this song lately on the radio, and I got captivated. Apparently, it’s part of the Breaking Dawn part 1 movie of the Twilight Saga. With all the fuss yesterday, I felt it apt to share this song.

Belated Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! =)

a month so far

i know, i know…it’s been 48 years since my last post! ok, that’s an exaggeration. haha!

i had a great ending for 2011..the very last day, i flew to the US for an on-site assignment. yes, i’m in MN. and so far, i have:

1. attended 2 parties — new year’s eve (the day i arrived) and a going-away party
2. learned how to comfortably drive on the freeway and on snow-covered streets
3. been visited by college friends from New Jersey, North Dakota and Toronto
4. learned how to ski

i am having fun here, thanks to my housemates and friends.

of course, i am missing my baby a lot already. most times, i wish that she was with me during my adventures. we try to talk at least thrice a week via skype, but i miss hugging, kissing, and smelling her even if she did not take a bath. lol! homesickness has been very hard to deal with, but i’m surviving. i just keep on hoping that it’ll get better soon, while keeping in mind that i won’t be away for much longer.

anyway, i am looking forward to my upcoming trip to SFO. i just booked a flight and i’m really really excited to see my brothers, cousins, nieces and nephews — hopefully some friends too!
