Dishwalla - Angels or Devils

When I woke up this morning, the first song i’ve heard was “Angels or Devils” by Dishwalla. I just loved the voice and the melody of their song, I actually ended up singing it in the shower, during breakfast, while having lunch, on my way home from work and until now! I have been hearing this song over and over again, I wasn’t even aware it has become a Last Song Syndrome or LSS (it happens when you hear a song and then it gets stuck in your head all day, usually accompanied by subconscious humming). Too bad I’m about to sleep and there it is, still, singing in my head! Below are the lyrics of the song and you can download its mp3 copy.

"Angels or Devils" by Dishwalla

This is the last time
that I'm ever gonna come here tonight
this is the last time - I will fall
into a place that fails us all - inside

I can see the pain in you
I can see the love in you
but fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time

The angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down
come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

This is the last time
that I'm ever gonna give in tonight
are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear - to see

Still I can see the pain in you
and I can see the love in you
and fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time

The angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down - come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could break us

If I was to give in - give it up
- and then
take a breath - make it deep
cause it might be the last one you get
be the last one
that could make us cold
you know that they could make us cold
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold.

Adobe Photoshop

A few months ago, the only image editing tool I know (besides my digital camera’s Canon Utilities) is Microsoft Paint. Since I’m in the process of learning HTML and CSS, why not try Adobe Photoshop too?

This program is familiar to me because before (more than 7 years ago), I have been watching my dad edit images in our computer. He just thought me some basic stuff, until our computer was reformatted due to a virus invasion. Since then, we were not able to re-install Adobe Photoshop. Also, the specs of our PC can’t withstand its requirements anymore. Now that our PC was upgraded, we were able to reinstall Adobe Photoshop again. I was so excited to learn! When I opened the program…oh my gas! More than 7 years has passed and I don’t remember a thing! So here comes my ever loyal friend, Google, to the rescue. I began searching for the meaning of the icons one by one. Oh no! I guess my experience with Adobe Photoshop will be one hell of a journey!

Learning HTML and CSS

As far as I can remember, when I learned about Friendster.com’s Edit Profile page, it has been a major headache for me editing it with their CSS Editor. Since I was still using a dial-up connection, reloading the page for a preview took me more than 10 minutes! That’s the reason why I didn’t even bother to make my Friendster layout a fabulous one. But of course, there’s a part of me wanting to learn how to make beautiful Friendster layouts. I am not a techie person when it comes to website design. I don’t even have a background on that category. But I have been very busy lately because I’m editing my Multiply.com (online store) account. Since Multiply.com’s online stores require enticing layouts, I was forced to study on my own. So now I have an excuse to learn HTML and CSS? Wahahaha! I then find myself surfing from one site to another trying to find solutions to my queries. My favorite site for HTML and CSS is www.w3schools.com. You can find almost everything on that site and I fell in love with it because it’s super user-friendly. They give specific example of the codes and give you ample space to edit it. You can preview your work as soon as you hit the “Edit and Click Me >>” button. For those of you who are new to HTML and CSS, you may visit their site at http://www.w3schools.com. Now I find designing a website with the use of HTML and CSS fun and educational at the same time!

Only You (1994)

Speaking of Soulmates, I really love this movie, Only You. Marisa Tomei really looked gorgeous in this movie, especially when she was wearing her red dress. On the other hand, Robert Downey Jr. was so sweet, I couldn't even imagine finding someone like him! This is really “a love story written in the stars.”

From the Ouija board, Faith (Marisa Tomei), has found the name of her missing half, and it is DAMON BRADLEY. 14 years later, just days before she is to marry a podiatrist she may not love, she receives a phone call from a friend of her fiancé named, Damon Bradley. Bradley is on his way to Venice, and Faith decides pursue her dream man. So Faith and her sister-in-law both board the next plane for Italy hoping to find her soulmate.

First 29th Birthday Celebrant!

Today we celebrated the 29th birthday of my friend, Lindsay. There are 10 of us in my group (of friends), and among my best buddies, Lindsay was the first one to reach 29 years of age. So maybe now you are thinking, “So what if she’s 29?” We very well know women have a sort of “expiration date” when it comes to marriage and pregnancy. Unluckily, Lindsay is currently Single and Available. Most of our friends were married with kids, and only the four of us (Lindsay, Elizabeth and Louise) were left waiting for Mr. Right. Oh come on! So what does this have to do with me? Everything! Sooner, I’ll wake up being 29, single and (probably) still available! I just hope Mr. Right comes before that happens!

Do you believe in Soulmates?

Do I believe in soulmates? I have been asking that question over and over again. Ever since I was a child, I believed in Destiny, Fate and Soulmates. I grew up watching romantic movies and cried every time. I loved it when boy-meets-girl and ended up happily ever after. But years passed by, relationships after another, and now I believe romantic stuff happen only in the movies. How sad, but it’s true on my side of earth. It’s really pathetic trying to re-create those movie scenes as real as possible, only to find out I cannot be the director, the writer and the actress at the same time!

When I was younger, I remembered my (older) relatives telling me not have boyfriends because I was still young, and I must finish college first before I go into a serious relationship. Now I’m nearly 30, they (my older relatives) were begging me to get married! What?! There is so much pressure on my part. This is slowly becoming a “panic mode” for me! Gosh, I envy those people who found their partners in life. I’m starting to doubt if my Mr. Right really exists…but I’m still willing to wait. If SOULMATES are true, I wonder where my “other half” could be…

My True Love, My Favorite Stuff

Hi! Welcome to my personal blog, My True Love. This blog is about my favorite things including computer games, dogs, food and travel.

Let me tell you something about myself. Well, i’m just a simple girl who loves internet surfing and playing online games. I find watching movies very relaxing and it can be my schedule for a Friday night! But what’s wrong with staying at home often? At least I get to play with my two dogs! I love my computer more than my mobile phone. Did I mention i’m getting fat due to the long hours of sitting in front of my monitor, wahahaha! Funny how it may sound, but i’m in my late 20’s, single and I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up! Sigh! I’m not a very good writer but I find blogging interesting. For me, it will be a way to express my thoughts and rant about anything under the sun. I hope you'll like my TRUE LOVE stuff!
