Autumn Leaves

Artist: Eva Cassidy
English Lyrics by Johnny Mercer and Music by Joseph Kosma

The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

“To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.”

Woody Allen quotes.

“Will you love me in December as you do in May,
Will you love me in the good old fashioned way?
When my hair has all turned gray,
Will you kiss me then and say,
That you love me in December as you do in May?”

James Walker quotes.

“When we’re incomplete, we’re always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we’re still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on–series polygamy–until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”

Tom Robbins quotes.

Artist: Cassandra Wilson Lyrics
Song: Time After Time

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And I think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories
Time after
Sometimes you picture me
And I’m walking too far ahead
You’re calling to me, and I can’t hear
What you’ve said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you’re lost you can look, you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I’ll be waiting
Time after
My picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows you’re wondering
If I’m OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you’re lost you can look, you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I’ll be waiting
Time after time
Mmm…

“I don’t pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.”

I pray you’ll be our eyes,
and watch us where we go
And help us to be wise,
in times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer,
when we lose our way
Lead us to a place,
guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe.
La luce che tu dai
I pray we’ll find your light
Nel cuore resterà
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che
When stars go out each night
L’eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c’è
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe

Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternità

La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
È il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amor
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a sè
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child

Need to find a place,
guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salverà

on 31 march that is when i had my knee injuried. i had my first ski at the heavenly at lake tahoe, with of coz a basic practical lesson that cost me 75 bucks! not becoz of the price of the lesson but the overall learning experience that i felt it was way too unworthy…

so in the mist of the lesson i got injuried not be coz i was skiing alone somewhere out there… i was with an instructor whom has 48 years of ecperience in skiing and whom wanted very much a smarter learner, fast learner, puppet-learner and not someone like me… okie i am no fast learner but i need time and patience! and time isnt with me and so was the instructor’s patience.

the instructor taught me how to wedge the "V" shape thingy that you have to do when you wanted to slow down? yup… i did it but he wasnt happy. he was angry with me that i placed so much dependence on my rod the sticks which individual have to hold on each hands? well he got so irritated that he asked me forget about the rod and asked me to ski down from gentle slope… without it. i followed instructions.. and no surprise i fell… on the snow …soft landing? no way isnt the snow that hurt me… its the way i fell i twisted my knee in very awkard way… but it didnt hurt so i continued and persist on skiing. as the saying goes practice makes perfect… when the rest of the students rested… the instructor was pissed off when he saw the students rested… that he came to me and asked me to ski more and of coz i fell more each time… know this he didnt teach me how to get up from the fall and each time he got the chance to help me up… he just brush another sentence of discouragement… sigh… i guess am not his kind of student he wanted… but too bad i paid for the lessons. he has to bare with it.

finally… i decided to take break from the lesson… the instructor came to me and asked me to take the ski lift to a steeper slope for practice… i was like duh…huh? so he took me to the lift and who knows that the ski lift is also another skill to learn… on how to get onto the seat and to learn how get up from it ! it was a few seconds of beliefing and we goes for the lift… guess what? of coz i fell… this time my knee hurting slightly… he persist on despite telling him i am hurt… and he goes on with his discouragement sentences again… and asked me ski down???? tried and fell and this time is serious… my knee hurt each step i make… i told him and guess what? "oops sorry … i got to go i am 5 minutes over time here and i have to got…" then he goes on with his theories of ski technique… he went skiing down the hill like taking a flight down. in my mind i was like what am i suppose to do up here on the slope??? knee hurt and so afraid of skiing now… i didnt care… i took of my ski and walked down the hill… limping… and hurting… devil instructor!

knee hurts during my sleep that i have sleepless night followed on… for two days… and subsquently it recovered slowly with the help of my hubby’s anathestic cream… awl devil instructor!

went to lake tahoe from monterey on the 30 march with a group of friends and of coz with my hubby too. drove over 5 hours and reached destination at 10pm… was so dead tired from the long drive… i think jeremy is feeling the worst as he was the sole driver in this trip. anyway after we checked into inn… we did try and attempt to get into the bed and rest… but the calling of the nearby casino was ringing in some of our ears… so we all headed with a heavy weighted mind and tired butts (seating >5 hours ride) to the casino.

we were there from 1130pm to almost 0130am… and guess wat? no surprise we lost 20 bucks to a jackpot machine… hmm… i wonder do anyone win anything in there?? i guess there are… just not me. sad. honestly … the casino that i went to was my first casino to go to in my thirty years of life so far. and it was terrible experience! smokey and noise pollution… machines lighted light up with bright colours… dim lightings… beer drinking everywhere… all these ppl really looked very tired… just like me…sighh… i almost deaded there from the second-hand smoking inhalation… and smell of the alcholol…and i was so tired that i decided to head back to the inn…
