LSS: Ready to Love Again

Hello again my dear blog! After a month of not typing anything here, I'm back with a vengeance. My friends got kinda drunk and decided to pay me a visit. At 3AM in the morning. So here I am, wide awake when I'm supposed to be asleep. So I decided to make another blog post.

I heard this song one day while I was taking a shower. Yeah, it just happened to play while my music was on shuffle. I've played this particular songs plenty of times before, but this was the first time that I actually listened to the lyrics. The chorus pulled me in. So I decided to play the song again.

Lately, I've been pretty happy with my life. Sure, I still cry at night, but not as much as before. A LOT has changed in the past month. And that also includes my love life. Yeah, you read that right. I dunno, but I feel a lot better about my heart nowadays. It feels like a huge burden has been lifted.

Before, my mind was still stuck on my ex. He was my first and only before. I know I still love him until now, but not like before. In the past, I kept going in circles, trying to find a way to get close to him again. Little did I know that what I was actually doing was going backwards. Because of what happened in the past, I was now scared of having another relationship, thinking that history might repeat itself. I wanted to move on, but was afraid of getting hurt again.

But now, it feels like I can get over that fear. My friends have been encouraging me, telling me that even though my ex hurt me, not all guys are like him. I couldn't find it in myself to accuse him, but I guess they do have a point. I should stop comparing and start anew.

Yeah, I know that I've made a promise to myself that I won't get into any commitments until after I've graduated. I'll keep that promise just because I know it's the best thing to do. But despite that, now I actually feel that I'm Ready to Love Again. :)

So here are the lyrics to the song, which pretty much sums up this entire post. Enjoy! :D

Ready To Love Again - Lady Antebellum Lyrics

Seems like I was walking in the wrong direction

I barely recognize my own reflection, no

Scared of love but scared of life alone

Seems I've been playing on the safe side baby

Building walls around my heart to save me, oh

But it's time for me to let it go

Yeah, I'm ready to feel now

No longer am I afraid of the fall down

It must be time to move on now

Without the fear of how it might end

I guess I'm ready to love again

Just when we think that love will never find you

You runaway but still it's right behind you, oh

It's just something that you can't control

Yeah, I'm ready to feel now

No longer am I afraid of the fall down

It must be time to move on now

Without the fear of how it might end

I guess I'm ready to love again

So come and find me

I'll be waiting up for you

I'll be holding out for you tonight

Yeah, I'm ready to feel now

No longer am I afraid of the fall down

It must be time to move on now

Without the fear of how it might end

I guess I'm ready, I'm ready to love again

LSS: I Am

I've had a month long hiatus, so I'm apologizing to my readers (if I have any). That's the longest I've gone without blogging since I made this. So I guess it's time to make up for it. It's just that I've been so busy lately. Oh well.

On my way back to Manila earlier, I had my earphones plugged into my ears the entire bus ride. I woke up after an hour and this song played on my iPod. I listened to the lyrics intently and thought that each and every line fitted me perfectly. So I decided to myself that I'd blog about it.

Alright, I'm not entirely sure if this song is for those that are bipolar or what, but it sure sounds like it. It just sounds like someone who's confused about herself and figured that the best way to describe herself would be to call herself "special". She obviously took the positive path, and I think that was a great idea. During the stanzas, I kept on agreeing with what she said about herself, so when it came to the chorus, I couldn't say no. 

All in all, I figured that this song is pretty inspirational for those who don't know who they are in this world. :)

I Am - Hillary Duff Lyrics

I'm an angel, I'm a devil
I am sometimes in between
I'm as bad it can get
And good as it can be
Sometimes I'm a million colors
Sometimes I'm black and white
I am all extremes
Try to figure me out you never can
There's so many things I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am

I'm someone filled with self-belief
And haunted by self-doubt
I've got all the answers
I've got nothing figured out
I like to be by myself
I hate to be alone
I'm up and I am down
But that's part of the thrill
Part of the plan
Part of all of the things I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am

I'm a million contradictions
Sometimes I make no sense
Sometimes I'm perfect
Sometimes I'm a mess
Sometimes I'm not sure who I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am

I am special
I am beautiful
I am wonderful
And powerful
Unstoppable
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
Of all the things I am
Sometimes I'm miserable
Sometimes I'm pitiful
But that's so typical of all the things I am
Of all the things I am

LSS: This is what dreams are made of

Since I haven't blogged in a very long time, I guess I'm gonna start off again by making a new segment called Last Song Syndrome or LSS. I'll just make a review about a random song that's stuck in my head for no apparent reason.

So the other day, during our make up class for ENGLRES, I got really bored. As in REALLY bored. So I started singing, even though the professor was sitting at the front of the room. I think this song popped into my head because one of my classmates remembered it when she read the title of one of my posts, "What if?". I dunno how she thought of that, since it was kinda far from the song lyrics, but oh well.

This song is from one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, called the Lizzie McGuire Movie. It was about Lizzie going on a school trip and being mistaken for a local popstar that just dyed her hair. She went all over Italy, avoiding their strict teacher/chaperon, and with the help of her best friend, she managed to get away with it too. Near the end of the movie, there was a concert that she had to participate in, and this is the song that they had to sing. It's really catchy, but the lyrics are a little too kiddy-ish for my taste now. Before, I loved this song and I would sing it over and over again. Well now, I have LSS. Oh joy.

Well even though the lyrics are simple, it still has a nice message, unlike those "songs" that they play on the radio nowadays. Here they are: 

What Dreams are Made Of - Hillary Duff Lyrics

Have you ever seen such a beautiful night?

I could almost kiss the stars for shining so bright

When I see you smiling I go, oh, oh, oh

I would never want to miss this

'Cause in my heart I know what this is

Hey now, hey now

This is what dreams are made of

Hey now, hey now

This is what dreams are made of

I've got somewhere I belong

I've got somebody to love

This is what dreams are made of

This is what dreams are made of

Have you ever wondered what life is about?

You could search the world and never figure it out

You don't have to sail the oceans, no, no, no

Happiness is no mystery

It's here and now it's you and me, yeah

Hey now, hey now

This is what dreams are made of

Hey now, hey now

This is what dreams are made of

I've got somewhere I belong

I've got somebody to love

This is what dreams are made of

Open your eyes

(This is what dreams are made of)

Shout to the skies

(This is what dreams are made of)

When I see you smiling, I go, oh oh oh

Yesterday my life was duller

Now everything's technicolor

Hey now, hey now

This is what dreams are made of

Hey now, hey now

This is what dreams are made of

I've got somewhere I belong

I've got somebody to love

This is what dreams, dreams

This is what dreams are made of

(Hey now, hey now)

Hey now

This is what dreams

(Hey now, hey now)

(This is what dreams)

What dreams are made of
