Songs that are really really catchy

These 4 songs which I feel like sharing today aren't really from my fave genres.
Heck, I find it weird i enjoy it so much. I'm guessing this type of music gets me pumped up when I'm doing my workouts =)

The 4 are:

Usher Feat Pitbull : DJ got us falling in love again







Far East Movement Feat The Cataracs & Dev : Like a G6






Duck Sauce : Barbra Streisand







Last and definitely not least, Flo Rida Feat David Guetta : CLub Can't Handle Me





Sorry as I wont be putting up lyrics to these 4 songs as it would make this a very very long post
;-p

Anyways, enjoy the music!

**************Warning: Emo post**************

So thats the dictionary's definition of Loneliness.

Many a times we watch movies, and we see this guy, very popular, and every1 knows his name. Everywhere he goes ppl are shaking his hand, giving him a hug / hi five and stuff like that. Every1 wants to be as famous as him. Then the next scene we see him all alone, sad, without true friends that he really craves.

Next you have a guy who seems like the ordinary quiet guy. He goes to work, becomes the unassuming person. He goes about his business without much fanfare and does the same thing everyday. He knows a lot of people, but yet not many people knows his name. This guy also, in the end, goes home and spends his time alone, wishing he was the popular guy he sees on tv.

There are also people who seems to have tonnes of stuff to do everyday. He has many social circles. He seems to be up and about all the time; only going home to sleep on most nights. It seems that he has a huge circle of friends because he has so many activities lined up almost every week. Then you see this guy, somedays sitting alone, wondering why he doesnt have any clsoe friends he can confide in. All his friends are there for the happy times. When he out to have a fun time, he meets these people. When he's feeling down, there he is, just sitting down alone.

***********************

Loneliness exists in many ways to many people. Maybe except if the person enjoy being alone.

I think loneliness is something that surrounds you when you are unhappy or lost during a moment in your life. It is something that, regardless if u have 50 people around you or 0 person around you, the feeling is there. Loneliness is only missing when times are good. Without good times, we might fall into the trap of being lonely and helplessness. Hence our long term goals and objectives are the things that will keep us going in times of loneliness.

I have to admit, I fear loneliness. That is why I try my best to fill up my free time. Some people wonder if I'm crazy when I go for sports / workouts on consecutive days. Sometimes I go gym then play futsal in the same day after about an hour's rest. Why physically exert myself?

Cause I will at least become fitter, while avoiding this feeling. I burn calories and also, research has shown that working out does release hormones that makes us feel good. Plus, to workout at the gym, you don't have to find friends, you can just do it by yourself without the hassle of organising.

The restlessness I feel, is part of the frustration that I have nothing to do, and the fact that I am lonely. I hate loneliness, I despise it! It makes me feel helpless over my ownself and at the same time, there isn't any1 to turn to.

Anyways, here's Babyface, singing The Loneliness




[Verse 1]
Im sitting here
Thinking bout
How im gon-na do without
You around in my life and how am I
I gon' get by
I ain't got no days
Just lonely nights
You want the truth
Well girl im not alright
Feel out of place and out of time
I think im gonna lose my mind

[Chorus]
So tell me how you feel (im lonely)
Are you for real (so lonely)
Do you still think of me (i think of you)
Baby still (are you lonely)
Do you dream of me at night (like i dream of you all the time)
So let me tell you how it feels (its like everyday i die)
Wish i was dreaming but its real (when i open up my eyes)
Let me tell you how it feels (and don't see your pretty face)
I think that i will never love again

[Verse 2]
I miss your face
I miss your kiss
I even miss the arguments
That we would have from time to time
I miss you standing by my side
I'm dying here its clear to see
There ain't no you, God knows there ain't no me
Don't wanna live, I wanna die
If I cant have you in my life

[Chorus (repeat till end)]
So tell me how you feel (im lonely)
Are you for real (so lonely)
Do you still think of me (i think of you)
Baby still (are you lonely)
Do you dream of me at night (like i dream of you all the time, so lonely)
Oh let me tell you how it feels (its like everyday i die)
Wish i was dreaming but its real (when i open up my eyes)
Let me tell you how it feels (and don't see your pretty face)
I think that I will never love again

Vibram Five Fingers!



I know... weird looking footwear right?

How can it be called fingers when it's meant for your feet?

Hehehe. Well this is like the latest trend in athletic footwear. It seems there are now lots of reasearch into the benefits of working out barefoot. But bacuse the ground maybe filled with dirt, bacteira and stuff that can injure you (i.e. glass, nails and etc) this is as close to barefoot exercise as you can get.

The brand of this footwear is called Vibram Five Fingers and they have many models. All of them look almost the same with minor differences for different activities.

I currently love the Five Fingers KSO Treksport, which is slightly different from the one seen above due to its thicker base. I'd love to go on a holiday just wearing these, and feel the texture of the grounds i walk upon! =)

I foresee that this is a trend thats catching in Malaysia as I've spotted them in gyms and more recently in the Mizuno Wave run last month.

Now if only we can find them in Malaysia. Even the stores in Singapore doesnt carry the full range of their product line-up. Damn, now I'm sold on these!

If any1 knows where to find them in Malaysia, do tell me.

Some really good fiction by Paulo Coelho

I received this beautiful excerpt from a friend who is working in Singapore.
Fiction, is something that I have not read in a very very long time (since the days of Hardy Boys, Enid Blyton, Stephen King et al). Well since secondary school.

This excerpt I received is taken from the best seller 'Eleven Minutes' and its taken from the diary of the girl in the story, Maria. Great stuff written by Paulo Coelho. Please read the below for the beautiful story...



From Maria’s diary:

Once upon a time, there was a bird. He was adorned with two perfect wings and with glossy, colorful, marvelous feathers.

One day, a woman saw this bird and fell in love with him.

She invited the bird to fly with her, and the two travelled across the sky in perfect harmony. She admired and venerated and celebrated that bird.

But then she thought: He might want to visit far-off mountains!
And she was afraid, afraid that she would never feel the same way about any other bird.

And she thought: “I’m going to set a trap. The next time the bird appears, he will never leave again.”

The bird, who was also in love, returned the following day, fell into the trap and was put in a cage.

She looked at the bird every day. There he was, the object of her passion, and she showed him to her friends, who said: “Now you have everything you could possibly want.”

However, a strange transformation began to take place: now that she had the bird and no longer needed to woo him, she began to lose interest.

The bird, unable to fly and express the true meaning of his life, began to waste away and his feathers to lose their gloss; he grew ugly; and the woman no longer paid him any attention, except by feeding him and cleaning out his cage.

One day, the bird died. The woman felt terribly sad and spent all her time thinking about him. But she did not remember the cage, she thought only of the day when she had seen him for the first time, flying contentedly amongst the clouds.

If she had looked more deeply into herself, she would have realized that what had thrilled her about the bird was his freedom, the energy of his wings in motion, not his physical body.

Without the bird, her life too lost all meaning, and Death came knocking at her door.

“Why have you come?” she asked Death.

“So that you can fly once more with him across the sky,” Death replied.

“If you had allowed him to come and go, you would have loved and admired him ever more; alas, you now need me in order to find him again.”

******************************

Really beautiful, it's the first time I actually became emotional just from reading fiction!
Wow!

It was a good 5 minutes spent reading and re-reading this. A lesson in life which we could all learn from.

Stuck Like Glue

This latest song has been stuck in my mind like well, glue.



It a really catchy tune that u cant help but snap your fingers and bop your head to it :-)

Performed by the Country duo of Sugarland, I bring you, Stuck Like Glue!!!







Mmmm better...mmm better...
Absolutely no one that knows me better
No one that can make me feel sooo goooood
How did we stay so long together?
When everybody, everybody said we never would
And just when I, I start to think they're right
That love has died...

[Chorus]
There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time?
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo

I'm stuck on you
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue

Some days I don't feel like trying
Some days you know I wanna just give up
When it doesn't matter who's right, fight about it all night
Had enough
You give me that look
"I'm sorry baby let's make up"
You do that thing that makes me laugh
And just like that...

[Chorus]
There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo

I'm stuck on you
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby were stuck like glue


Whutooo Whutoo

You almost stay out, too stuck together from the ATL
Whutooo Whutoo

Feeling kinda sick?
Just a spoon full of sugar make it better real quick

I say
Whutooo Whutoo
Whatcha gonna do with that?
Whutooo Whutoo
Come on over here with that
Sugar sticky sweet stuff
Come on give me that stuff
Everybody wants some
Melodies that get stuck

Up in your head
Whutooo whutooo

Up in your head
Whutooo whutooo

Up in your head
Whutooo whutooo

Up in your head
Whutooo whutooo
Whuthoo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me together, say, it's all I wanna do
I said

[Chorus]
There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo

There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again,
Heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in,
Right back in
And I know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo
I'm stuck on you

Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby were stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue

Live High




I dont know if I posted this up before, but damn I love this song!!
Its Jason mraz telling me to live high, and live righteously.
I'm inspired to do the things I want in the right manner.

I shall not be afraid of the consequences of my actions if I conduct myself in the best manner. So what if what I want doesnt turn out right? I lived my life the best I can, and I should not have any regrets.


Watch the video below of Jason Mraz perform on the streets of Paris! OMG, so fu**ing cool! I wanna see him live!!!






I try to picture the girl
Through a looking glass
And see her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and stare back at them
See that girl
As her own new world
Though a home is on the surface, she is still a universe

Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked
Taking guesses at the actual date and time
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Takin' it easy
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously

And try to picture the man
To always have an open hand
And see him as a giving tree
See him as matter
Matter fact he's not a beast
No not the devil either
Always a good deed doer
And it's laughter that we're making after all

The call of the wild is still an ordination why
And the order of the primates
All our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is this assembly singing of gratitude
Practicing their lovin for you

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Takin' it easy
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously

And singing out
And just take it easy
And celebrate the malleable reality
You see nothing is ever as it seems
Yeah this life is but a dream


Live High always guys and Girls!!
Just dont get high (on drugs ;-p)
