I Like… – The Voice Within

David Guetta ft. Sia – Titanium

Posted on August 22, 2012August 22, 2012 by mesyel

You shout it loud, but I can’t hear a word you say
I’m talking loud, not saying much
I’m criticized, but all your bullets ricochet
you shoot me down, but I get up

I’m bulletproof, nothing to lose
fire away, fire away
ricochet, you take your aim
fire away, fire away
you shoot me down, but I won’t fall
I am titanium
you shoot me down, but I won’t fall
I am titanium

Cut me down, but it’s you who’ll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I’m talking loud, not saying much

I’m bulletproof, nothing to lose
fire away, fire away
ricochet, you take your aim
fire away, fire away
you shoot me down, but I won’t fall
I am titanium
you shoot me down, but I won’t fall
I am titanium

I am titanium

I am titanium

Stone hard, machine gun
Fired at the ones who run
Stone hard, as bulletproof glass

You shoot me down, but I won’t fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won’t fall
I am titanium You shoot me down, but I won’t fall
I am titanium You shoot me down, but I won’t fall
I am titanium

I am titanium

Christina Perri – Distance [feat. Jason Mraz]

Posted on August 12, 2012August 22, 2012 by mesyel

The sun is filling up the room
And I can hear you dreaming
Do you feel the way I do right now?
I wish we would just give up
Cause the best part is falling
Call it anything but love

And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say “I love you” when you’re not listening
How long can we keep this up, up, up?

And please don’t stand so close to me
I’m having trouble breathing
I’m afraid of what you’ll see right now
I give you everything I am
All my broken heart beats
Until I know you understand

And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say “I love you” when you’re not listening
How long can we keep this up, up, up?

And I keep waiting
For you to take me
You keep waiting
To save what we have

So I’ll make sure to keep my distance
Say “I love you” when you’re not listening
How long can we keep this up, up, up?

Make sure to keep my distance
Say “I love you” when you’re not listening
How long til we call this love, love, love?

Inspirational Song : Sunscreen by Baz Lurhmann

Posted on July 4, 2012July 4, 2012 by mesyel

I LOVE this song. The lyric is so inspirational, especially those in bolds. Enjoy everyone..

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’97.
Wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…
I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.

But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked…
You’re not as fat as you Imagine.

Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind.
The kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing everyday that scares you.

Sing.

Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don’t waste your time on jealousy;
Sometimes you’re ahead,
Sometimes You’re behind.
The race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults;
If you Succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
Life.
The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.

Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.
Whatever you do, don’t Congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either.
Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.
Enjoy your body, Use it every way you can… Don’t be afraid of it, or what other people Think of it,
It’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own…

Dance… even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

Brother and sister together we’ll make it through
Someday your spirit will take you and guide you there
I know you’ve been hurting, but I’ve been waiting to be there
For you.
And I’ll be there, just tell me now, whenever I can.
Everybody’s free.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings;
They are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard;
Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will Philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don’t expect anyone else to support you.
Maybe you have a trust fund, Maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.

Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you’re 40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen…

(Brother and sister together we’ll make it through
Someday your spirit will take you and guide you there
I know you’ve been hurting, but I’ve been waiting to be there
For you. And I’ll be there, just tell me now, whenever I can.
Everybody’s free.)

Hahaha.. almost all in bold.. but that’s how inspirational this song is to me. Come On.. Read the lyrics and let me know what you think of it.. enjoy..

owh and by the way, if you don’t know the song, here’s a video from youtube..

Excerpt from the youtube description :
The lyrics are taken from a famous essay — written in 1997 by Mary Schmich, a columnist with the Chicago Tribune — which gives some amazing advice for life, thoroughly recommend everyone to watch this ! enjoy !

Sharing is Caring

Posted on February 4, 2012February 4, 2012 by mesyel

Hi People..

Hope you’re now a lot wiser after looking at my wisdom tooth for quite a certain amount of time.. hehe 🙂 It was a perfectly healthy tooth but i had to pull it out because it was growing in the wrong direction [due to no “friend” on my lower jaw] and it was causing me painful gums as food can easily get stuck there.. and to tell you the truth (and to brag a bit).. i never had a single rotten tooth in all my 32 yrs 1 month and 26 days of existence. Never had a tooth filled and never had a tooth pulled out because it was rotten. Looks like my daughter is also taking after me, no rotten teeth yet and she’s already 7.

But enough about my teeth.. it’s not like you haven’t look at it for what seems like ages now.. hehe..

The main reason for this particular post today is actually to share with you and with the rest of the world about 50 Rules for Dads of Daughters by Michael Mitchell. If you’ve read this before, then read it again.. I’m sure it can get you to shed a tear or two.. again.

When I first read them, i did get all teary-eyed.. they had really stricken a chord in me either in remembering the ways my beloved dad has treated me as i was growing up or in the ways i saw my dearest husband treating our daughter as well.

This article is taken from From Dates to Diapers and the original author is Michael Mitchell who blogs about tips and life lessons for Dads with Daughters in Life To Her Years. If I’m not mistaken, these 50 Rules here are only the first 50 tips from his blog.. I visited it and noticed that the latest entry is Rule 238.

Here goes the 50 Rules for Dads of Daughters:-

1. Love her mom. Treat her mother with respect, honor, and a big heaping spoonful of public displays of affection. When she grows up, the odds are good she’ll fall in love with and marry someone who treats her much like you treated her mother. Good or bad, that’s just the way it is. I’d prefer good.

2. Always be there. Quality time doesn’t happen without quantity time. Hang out together for no other reason than just to be in each other’s presence. Be genuinely interested in the things that interest her. She needs her dad to be involved in her life at every stage. Don’t just sit idly by while she add years to her… add life to her years.

3. Save the day. She’ll grow up looking for a hero. It might as well be you. She’ll need you to come through for her over and over again throughout her life. Rise to the occasion. Red cape and blue tights optional.

4. Savor every moment you have together. Today she’s crawling around the house in diapers, tomorrow you’re handing her the keys to the car, and before you know it, you’re walking her down the aisle. Some day soon, hanging out with her old man won’t be the bees knees anymore. Life happens pretty fast. You better cherish it while you can.

5. Pray for her. Regularly. Passionately. Continually.

6. Buy her a glove and teach her to throw a baseball. Make her proud to throw like a girl… a girl with a wicked slider.

7. She will fight with her mother. Choose sides wisely.

8. Go ahead. Buy her those pearls.

9. Of course you look silly playing peek-a-boo. You should play anyway.

10. Enjoy the wonder of bath time.

11. There will come a day when she asks for a puppy. Don’t over think it. At least one time in her life, just say, “Yes.”

12. It’s never too early to start teaching her about money. She will still probably suck you dry as a teenager… and on her wedding day.

13. Make pancakes in the shape of her age for breakfast on her birthday. In a pinch, donuts with pink sprinkles and a candle will suffice.

14. Buy her a pair of Chucks as soon as she starts walking. She won’t always want to wear matching shoes with her old man.

15. Dance with her. Start when she’s a little girl or even when she’s a baby. Don’t wait ‘til her wedding day.

16. Take her fishing. She will probably squirm more than the worm on your hook. That’s OK.

17. Learn to say no. She may pitch a fit today, but someday you’ll both be glad you stuck to your guns.

18. Tell her she’s beautiful. Say it over and over again. Someday an animated movie or “beauty” magazine will try to convince her otherwise.

19. Teach her to change a flat. A tire without air need not be a major panic inducing event in her life. She’ll still call you crying the first time it happens.

20. Take her camping. Immerse her in the great outdoors. Watch her eyes fill with wonder the first time she sees the beauty of wide open spaces. Leave the iPod at home.

21. Let her hold the wheel. She will always remember when daddy let her drive.

22. She’s as smart as any boy. Make sure she knows that.

23. When she learns to give kisses, she will want to plant them all over your face. Encourage this practice.

24. Knowing how to eat sunflower seeds correctly will not help her get into a good college. Teach her anyway.

25. Letting her ride on your shoulders is pure magic. Do it now while you have a strong back and she’s still tiny.

26. It is in her nature to make music. It’s up to you to introduce her to the joy of socks on a wooden floor.

27. If there’s a splash park near your home, take her there often. She will be drawn to the water like a duck to a puddle.

28. She will eagerly await your return home from work in the evenings. Don’t be late.

29. If her mom enrolls her in swim lessons, make sure you get in the pool too. Don’t be intimidated if there are no other dads there. It’s their loss.

30. Never miss her birthday. In ten years she won’t remember the present you gave her. She will remember if you weren’t there.

31. Teach her to roller skate. Watch her confidence soar.

32. Let her roll around in the grass. It’s good for her soul. It’s not bad for yours either.

33. Take her swimsuit shopping. Don’t be afraid to veto some of her choices, but resist the urge to buy her full-body beach pajamas.

34. Somewhere between the time she turns three and her sixth birthday, the odds are good that she will ask you to marry her. Let her down gently.

35. She’ll probably want to crawl in bed with you after a nightmare. This is a good thing.

36. Few things in life are more comforting to a crying little girl than her father’s hand. Never forget this.

37. Introduce her to the swings at your local park. She’ll squeal for you to push her higher and faster. Her definition of “higher and faster” is probably not the same as yours. Keep that in mind.

38. When she’s a bit older, your definition of higher and faster will be a lot closer to hers. When that day comes, go ahead… give it all you’ve got.

39. Holding her upside down by the legs while she giggles and screams uncontrollably is great for your biceps. WARNING: She has no concept of muscle fatigue.

40. She might ask you to buy her a pony on her birthday. Unless you live on a farm, do not buy her a pony on her birthday. It’s OK to rent one though.

41. Take it easy on the presents for her birthday and Christmas. Instead, give her the gift of experiences you can share together.

42. Let her know she can always come home. No matter what.

43. Remember, just like a butterfly, she too will spread her wings and fly some day. Enjoy her caterpillar years.

44. Write her a handwritten letter every year on her birthday. Give them to her when she goes off to college, becomes a mother herself, or when you think she needs them most.

45. Learn to trust her. Gradually give her more freedom as she gets older. She will rise to the expectations you set for her.

46. When in doubt, trust your heart. She already does.

47. When your teenage daughter is upset, learning when to engage and when to back off will add years to YOUR life. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

48. Ice cream covers over a multitude of sins. Know her favorite flavor.

49. This day is coming soon. There’s nothing you can do to be ready for it. The sooner you accept this fact, the easier it will be.

50. Today she’s walking down the driveway to get on the school bus. Tomorrow she’s going off to college. Don’t blink.

Current Favourite : Adele – Rolling In The Deep

Posted on July 1, 2011 by mesyel

Enjoy…

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, and it’s bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I’ll lay your shit bare
See how I’ll leave with every piece of you
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it’s bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I’ve heard one of you
And I’m gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
As mine sure won’t be shared

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

You could have had it all
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You’re gonna wish you never had met me)

But you played it
You played it
You played it
You played it to the beat.

Day 23 – Mission Accomplished!

My Favourite Disney Movies

Posted on September 29, 2008 by mesyel

I’m always fond of Disney’s Movies. I grew up watching Disney cartoons every day. I vaguely remember back when I was about 3 or 4 years old, Mickey & Donald will be on TV in the evening, maybe at about 4 o’clock because I remember my dad will be back from work after the show finished. When we first got our VCR, my mom would record all the shows so that my brother and I can watch them in the morning while my mother do all the houseworks. Magical isn’t it? Just by putting on the video tape of Mickey & Donald would get us to behave and mom can do her work in peace.

After we have the VCR, my dad also start renting video tapes every week and one of the videos would be a Disney classic cartoons. There would be Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty, Pinnochio, Bambi, Dumbo, Chip and Dale and of course, my all time favourite Mickey & Donald!

And soon after, Disney began to make more movies and cartoons and I love each and everyone of them. The colourful pictures, the beautifully painted cartoon characters, the songs – how can anyone not love Disney? I’m now a mother of two and I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m still in love with all the Disney’s movie. My 3 yrs old daughter loves them too! We would watch the Disney movie together and I even sing along to the songs I’ve came to know so well, especially the Snow White’s Song. My 1 ½ yr old son is also a fan of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He would dance to the Hot Dog song and would go “Meeska Mooska Mickey Mouse!!!” when Mickey ask everyone to say the magic words.

So, here I have compiled my Top 15 list – 10 Disney Movies and 5 Disney Characters.

Cartoons / Movies

1. Snow White and the 7 Dwarves ~ of course!!! This is the very 1^st Disney Cartoon I watched.

2. Cinderella ~ Cinderelly, Cinderelly, Night and Day it’s Cinderelly…

3. Sleeping Beauty ~ I don’t really know but for some reason, this movie is not that popular around here

4. Alice in Wonderland ~ I’m late! I’m late! I’m Late! No time to say hello, good bye I’m late! I’m late! I’m late

5. Aladdin ~ I can show you the world, shining, shimmering, splendid…

6. Beauty and the Beast ~ I always think Belle is the most beautiful of all the Disney Princesses.

7. The Lion King ~ Hakuna Matata!!!

8. The Chronicles of Narnia (Both)

9. Meet The Robinsons

10. Enchanted

Character

11. Belle of Beauty and The Beast

12. Cinderella

13. Snow White

14. Alice

15. Giselle of Enchanted

Actually I love all Disney Movies / Cartoons, but the above are my favorites. How about you? Why don’t you share with me at least 5 of your favourite Disney Movies / Cartoons / Character / Songs and see if we have the same taste…

From cartoons, movies and songs, Disney has also now created games suitable for kids and for all Disney lovers (who, I guess, is always young at heart). One of the games I’m talking about is Disney Bingo DVD game. It lets kids learn numbers, colors, and matching skills with their favorite Disney characters and movie clips. Oooo… sounds like a perfect game for my kids! (And me). I can already imagine how fun it will be to spend (quality) time with my kids, playing games that not only educates them but also has all the characters and clips from my Top 15 favorites!

So people, I’m sure you’re a Disney fan too, why don’t you check it out for yourself at Screenlife’s website. There is also a video clip of the Disney Bingo game for you to get a closer look on what and how the games actually looks like.

If you like what you see and you’re wondering where else can you get a hold of this game, head on to Amazon.com or Drugstore.com and purchase your very own Disney Bingo game. I’m definitely getting one for myself.

And why are you still here? Aren’t you suppose to go and check out Disney Bingo already????
