Working time was so bored I run into my collection of old MP3… there I found my love song from about ten years ago hehehe

As I searched through youtube I found the video clip, oh so romantic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1dqzXFw0as

SO BEAUTIFUL (Chris de Burgh)

I’m lying here tonight
Thinking of the days we’ve had
Wondering if the world would be so beautiful
If I had not looked into your eyes
How did you know that I’ve been waiting ?
Never knew the world would be so beautiful at all

I’m spending all the days
Dreaming of the nights we’ve had

And never knew that love would be a miracle
When I think of all the ones before
But now that I found you
I am flying
I never knew that love would be
So beautiful to me
I never knew that love would be
So beautiful to me

And then we danced to the rhythm
That’s burning like a flame
And when you touch me I can hardly move,
You take my breath away
You give me all that I want to feel
When we become as one
And then you take me to the heaven of your heart
Did nobody ever tell you:
You’re the best thing that has ever been ?

You are so beautiful
So beautiful

I’m standing here tonight
Thinking of the times we’ll have
I never knew that you would be
So beautiful
From the day you came into my life

I just wanna say you make me happy
Never knew that you would be
So beautiful to me
Never knew that you would be
So beautiful to me

So beautiful to me
So beautiful to me
So beautiful to me
To me

I’m lying here tonight
Dreaming here tonight
Dance with you tonight
So beautiful

Loosing appetite on books

Yesterday I finally reached the end of Junot Diaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Woo

(mind you most of the novels we have at home bought by my husband who has his own rules when it comes to choosing books. Tuesdays with Morrie by I-don’t-know-who, the narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe, and a short list of books that I read only the first few pages)

I read Junot’s due to my curiosity on the book that is said as a winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Well, it’s quite entertaining… however my last book before Junot’s was a John Grisham’s (The Appeal) and it was way more interesting. Before Grisham’s, I struggle to finish the Paulo Coelho’s Valkyries (a real odd one)

During the process, I noticed two things. It took me more and more time to finish reading a book compared to my teen age. Is it a sign of aging or simply I lost interest. The second thing, I tend to feel it was a waste of time. A book with hundred pages took a while to read, and reading made me abandon my homeworks and worse yet, the kids. No more bedtime story because mommy was busy with her book. While it was somewhat (but not always) entertaining, I did not get any other benefit from this activity, no new knowledge whatsoever – or if there was, it is categorized as unimportant.

Or perhaps, things are quite different in older age, that’s all I can say.
