You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine
You make me happy
when skies are gray...
This song immediately came to mind when I saw these shoes! I was even discreetly humming the tune while I was trying them on and I can imagine myself skipping gaily if only I was alone. Hahaha. I felt happier just looking at them, so I told myself, "I must have these no matter what!" Ofcourse, myself cannot argue because in matters like this no one dares to get in my way, plus I hold the magic plastic card anyway. By the way, I am NOT (yet) a shopaholic. They are actually a good buy, considering they are comfortable, cute and inexpensive. I'd rather not say "cheap" because it is rude to call someone or something that. Am I being too defensive? Ok, I just wanted to make that clear, not a shopaholic. :-P
Sleep, sleep, sleep... when will you grant me my wish of a long and peaceful slumber? I've counted sheeps, forward and backwards. Drank milk though it makes me sick. Tried different "calming" teas, candles and scents. Listened to mellow songs and instrumentals. Took hot and cold showers, they don't really make a difference. If there's anyone out there who could cast a spell... Please, please, please put me under a spell and bring me to dreamland....
We were in the office, with nothing much to do (in short, we were bored), when suddenly one colleague gave an exasperated sigh. I asked, "Why? What's wrong?" He told me that his PC's speaker finally gave up and died and his last hope for entertainment is gone. Hahaha. We made jokes about what a pitiful state his PC is in, with the screen and speaker problems. Then I remembered the song Bulag, Pipi at Bingi by Philippine folk singer, Freddie Aguilar who is more famously known for the song "Anak". It's been a long time since I heard this song and I did not really know the lyrics so I decided to look for it. In doing so, I came across this blog "Story Behind Your Favorite Song" (http://favesongdiary.blogspot.com/2009/08/bulag-pipi-at-bingi-freddie-aguilar.html), I think it's a nice piece to read, considering the writer has added some personal touch with her stories and an English translation of the song was provided. :)
You are my sunshine,
