Just Say Yes

Lyrics:  Gary Lightbody
Artist:   Snow Patrol

I'm running out of ways to make you see
I want you to stay here beside me
I won't be okay and I won't pretend I am
So just tell me today and take my hand

Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand

Just say yes
Just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test
Nor a trick of the mind, only love

It's so simple and you know it is, you know it is
We can't be to and from like this all our lives
You're the only way to me
The path is clear
What do I have to say to you for God's sake, dear?

For God's sake, dear
For God's sake, dear
For God's sake, dear
For God's sake, dear

Just say yes
Just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test
Nor a trick of the mind, only love

Just say yes
Cause I'm aching and I know you are too
For the touch of your warm skin as I breath you in

I can feel your heart beat through my shirt
This was all I wanted, all I want

It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want

Just say yes
Just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test
Nor a trick of the mind, only love

Just say yes
Cause I'm aching and I know you are too
For the touch of your warm skin as I breath you in

I can feel your heart beat through my shirt
This was all I wanted, all I want

I fucking love this song!!!!  I woke up this morning craving for this song.  

An Opportunist?

An online dictionary describes an opportunist as one who takes advantage of an opportunity to achieve an end, often with no regard for principles or consequences.  With that in mind, I don't think we would want to be called an opportunist.  It has a negative connotation to it.  It's interesting because sometimes we are told to "seize the opportunity" thus making you an opportunist, right?  Seizing an opportunity has a positive ring to it.  I think...  Okay, I'm not trying to argue or start a debate of its definition so no debunking here but I'm going to admit, I was in a situation that I couldn't say no to this "opportunity" and I seized it.  Though it happened at an inopportune time (sadly to say), I've taken it and have been running with it for the last few days.  Intrigued?  Well, it's actually nonsense just like everything that I've posted here on my blog.  Haha!  It really has something to do with a certain feeling that came with this incident.  Right now, I would say it was unforgettable and it was associated with feelings of love, warmth, security, passion and I clearly remember when it happened -- it seemed like the world disappeared around me!  At this point, please take your mind out of the gutter.  Now, where was I?  Oh yes --- this feeling was given by someone who shouldn't really have given it in the first place but the thing is, I allowed it to happen.  I didn't see it coming.  No one did!  This is the opportunity that I've seized and kind of living on in the past few days.  It gives me such an enthralling feeling and I know that It will eventually die down because I said so.  =)  It is what it is, however, it's interesting how you can take an experience and live off of it (at least for a little while) - letting it inspire you and giving you hope that one day, that magical feeling will be reproduced.  Have you been on this type of enchanting and bewitching ride?  Oh I hope so because I want to read about it.  Please comment below and share!

I know I sound very vague but you'll have just have to deal with it.  Thanks!

Kissing You

sometimes the best way way to describe an experience is through a song...

What Do You Do For Fun?

There's a scene in The Notebook where Noah is trying to figure out what Allie does for fun.  Watching that scene on DVD last Saturday made me think about what I really do for fun.  Lately, I've been so preoccupied with work and volunteering at church that I haven't really done anything fun.  Is it because I actually have fun working and volunteering or have I let real fun slip away?  Since I moved to NYC, I've been trying to join a badminton club but a) it's not cheap and b) I'm afraid I won't find the time.  Obviously, I do have fun when I hang out with my friends like when we eat out, play catch up, have coffee, watch movies, etc, but that's a given.  So, what do you do for fun?

Young Adult Ministry

Look what I made for the Young Adult Ministry at St Francis of Assisi on 31st Street... pretty cool huh?  I used the Pages application on my Macbook to create this flyer.  Since you will be looking at it, come check out our events!  If you have any questions, let me know.  Thanks!
