Today's Music: Strangers by Seven Lions

I have featured non-EDM songs in my "Today's Music" posts because I have so many favorites and I don't want to flood my blogsite with mostly EDM. However, this track deserves to be featured. I like the lyrics and the beat. The song makes me want to sing, dance and indulge with my favorite drink. Enjoy!


Nothing more than strangers passing by on the street 
Memories are fading though it's only been a week 

All the little things are gone 

All the things we use to be 
Nobody can take us down cause 
There was only you and me 

And without you I can't be 
You're the universe to me 
You're the air in my lungs 
You're the fields where I run 
You're the sky where I'm floating 

It's you 
It's you 

Without you I can't be 
You're the universe to me 
You're the air in my lungs 
You're the fields where I run 
You're the sky where I'm floating 

It's you 
It's you 

Don't wanna be a stranger 
Wanna be the one you need 
I can be your world, 
Your life 
Your lover 
All for free 
All the little things come back 
The things we used to be 
Nobody can take us down 
There was only you and me 

And without you I can't be 
You're the universe to me 
You're the air in my lungs 
You're the fields where I run

The Day My World Stood Still

Yes! You read it right. The title of this post is taken from a movie. It was not because the world has gone thru a disastrous time that made me to borrow the title. It was just a personal experience. That personal experience happened to be mine. My experience. My world.

Beginning of this year, almost all of us listed what we wanted to change, achieve and other matters we have called since time immemorial as New Year’s Resolution. Personally, I only kept a few important goals and resolutions. One of those resolutions I listed was TO BE IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP. For me to be always reminded and put me on “attack” mode, I set a deadline to make it happen. Without any consideration, March 31, 2014 was the deadline or 1st quarter of 2014.

If you feel the urgency, impossibility or simply find my resolution funny, please don’t judge me. Don’t laugh at me because I have had enough. Most of my friends, if not all, were bewildered with this and find it funny. They couldn’t help themselves to laugh.  My relationship status as single has never changed since birth. My heart has been a virgin for 25 years. I am just a poor boy waiting for someone to love me. 

In each day of the first quarter, I felt jittery as I faced it daily. Like most of us say that every day is another day, I held on to that promise but I couldn’t help myself to feel anxious about my goal. Time went by so fast that I couldn’t even cope up. I have this one particular person who I thought was the realization of my resolution but as of writing of this post, nothing is happening. I guess we are better off as friends. Nevertheless, first three months of this year went by so fast. It was so fast that it left me so way behind. 

March 31, 2014 passed and today is April 2, 2014. I am still single. I fail to realize my resolution.  I feel a little sad but I am laughing as I write this post. I am laughing because I have been crazy for three months.  What was I thinking for setting a deadline for my love life to prosper? LOL!

There are really some aspects that cannot be planned. One of those is the love aspect. Out of this crazy three-month experience, I have learned one lesson. True love transcends time. If I want to experience a love that lasts beyond lifetime, a love that’s forever, I should be patient. True love waits. It is more than enough to make my world stands still.
