a n g e l

A n g e l - by Robbie Williams

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
cos I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when Im lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
Im loving angels instead
m
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether Im right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
When I come to call
she wont forsake me
Im loving angels instead
m
When Im feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know Ill always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
Im loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether Im right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
When I come to call
she wont forsake me
Im loving angels instead
m
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether Im right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
When I come to call
she wont forsake me
Im loving angels instead

Stick with you..

another sweet song :) for my gorgeous reader ..

Stick with u by pussy cat dolls.

I don't wanna go another day
So I'm telling you, exactly what is on my mind
Seems as like everybody is breaking up and throwing their love away
But I know I got a good thing right here

That's why I say (Hey) Nobody gonna love me better, I must stick wit u forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick wit u
You know how to appreciate me, I must stick wit u, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick wit u

I don't wanna go another day
So I'm telling you, exactly what is on my mind
See the way we ride, in our private lives
Ain't nobody gettin' in between
I want you to know that, your the only one for me

Nobody gonna love me better, I must stick wit u forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick wit u
You know how to appreciate me, I must stick wit u my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick wit u

And now, ain't nothing else I can need
And now, I'm singing.. 'cause your so, so into me
I got you, we'll be making love endlessly
I'm with you, baby you're with me

So don't cha worry about
people hanging around they ain't bring us down
I know you, and you know me and that's all that counts
So don't cha worry about
people hanging around they ain't bring us down
I know you, and you know me and that's why, that's why I say

Nobody gonna love me better, I must stick wit u forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick wit u
You know how to appreciate me, I must stick wit u my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick wit u

Nobody gonna love me better, I must stick wit u forever
Nobody gonna take me higher, I must stick wit u
You know how to appreciate me, I must stick wit u my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way, I must stick wit u

Thypoid fever

I'm down with thypoid fever - today is the 7th day of my "resting-day" at home = 7th day of eating ONLY porridge 3 x 1 day = antibiotics 3 x 1 day + traditional medicine that contains the extract of the powerful Lumbricus Rubellus - shocking!

The name BOHEMIA (Boiohaemum) was coined by the Romans, derived fromthe Celtic tribe BOII, who were the iron age (700 BC to 0) pre-Slavicoccupants of what is now the Czech Republic.
m
Over the ages the name BOHEMIA became synonymous with the (much) more recent, modern day occupants of the Czech Republic (Cechy), who have lived therefor roughly 1500 years. The Czechs DO consider themselves to be true "BOHEMIANS" and the wordtransltes to Czech in Czech, but it is a misnomer from a Historical pointof view. (The iron age Celts in the area have long ago been displaced andassimilated by the Germanic Marcomanni, by the Romans... and finally by theSlavic peoples 300-700 AD.)
m
The pre-Slavic cultures of the Czech Republic dating back many millenia areonly known through archeological artifacts, and later from the history of theRoman Empire. The early historical records of the modern day Czechs... save for the legendof the three brothers Cech, Lech and Rus compiled by COSMO circa 1100 AD...were burned and destroyed by the 8th century marauding conquests of"The Holly Roman Empire" Written history of the Czechs begins circa 800, leading into the "Great Moravian Empire".
m
---The word Bohemian has also been attached to the unorthodox, wild, beatnic,anti-establishment intellectual, song and wine, life style of the "ARTISTIC"sub-culture in Paris. The apparent original connection was the ignorantconfusion between Czechs and Gypsies. Gypsies, of course being a totallydifferent nomadic nation with Romani roots, who traversed eastern andcentral Europe, including Bohemia and Slovakia.

ChooSe to LisTen

It is easy to get angry with those who criticize you.
m
But it is better to listen and to consider what they have to say. If the criticism is completely misdirected and unfounded, then you can simply let it go.
Yet often it can be valuable and productive to objectively consider what your critics are thinking.
m
The worst response to criticism is to become angry, insulted and defensive. For by doing so, you actually give more power and credibility to that criticism. Instead, listen carefully and appreciatively to what your critics have to say. Even if the criticism is decidedly negative, somewhere there are positive insights that you can gain from it. Don't let your ego prevent you from learning something valuable. Being receptive to criticism strengthens your confidence and can improve your competence.
m
Choose to know and understand what others think of you. Instead of getting angry and defensive over the words of others, choose to listen, consider and grow stronger because of them.
m
Note : Very wise words, easy to express but (rather) difficult to do.

Ordinary People

Ordinary People by JOHN LEGEND

Girl im in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue everyday

[Bridge]

I know i misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 2]

This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss then we make up on the way

[Bridge]

I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I Still want you to stay

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

[Verse 3]

Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave,
maybe you'll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won't survive
But maybe we'll grow
We never know baby youuuu and I

[Chorus]

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Heyyy)
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

Shall We Dance?

A very interesting line by Mrs. Clark (Susan Sarandon) on Why People get married in film "Shall We Dance" :
m
"Because we need a witness to our lives. There is a billion people on the planet, what does anyone's life really mean? But in a marriage, you are promising to care about everything, the good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things - all of it, all the time, everyday.
Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed because I will be your witness."
