Falling For You

Came upon this song after I had the chance to work with Alarice Thio for the Mercy Relief concert last month. She was selling her cds and I bought one. This song have been receiving regular air play in my ipod ever since. And it just so happened that I was writing similar lines to the chorus in my notebook while listening to the first verse on the train. No, it's not plagurism, as I didn't know the song title over my in-ear monitors then as I had just ripped the cd at the airport and downloaded into my ipod directly half hour prior. And no, I didn't listen to the cd itself. This is becoming a habit of late, buying cds and then ripping them into .wav and downloading into my ipod and listening from there. Just did that for The Corrs' Unplugged album (oops.. :p)

Back to the song, I really loved the acoustic guitar parts on it, as well as the lyrics, of course. There's just something in the song that made me listen to it over and again. Like now, when it's playing (and repeating) on Winamp. And of course, there's that someone out there as well, for whom I was writing about :) Not sure if she already read what I wrote, as it's not posted here, but somewhere else. Then again, she already knew the story of how I wrote it, as I shared the story with her over msn when we were discussing Alarice's songs. At that time though, I doubt she realised she was the recipient of my writing. Or she may have guessed, as we have been going out informally over the last few months. It's only more recently that things progressed and we begun to explore the friendship and talk and discover more about each other. Did know her from a long time back, but not really well. Only late last year we had the chance to work together that got the ball rolling to where it is now. I must stress, though, that we are not a couple at the moment. This stage does seem in line with what I posted here earlier about the impression I had from God regarding my relationship status. So I can only pray for His continued guidance in my life, trusting in Him and serving Him faithfully.

Five Loaves and Two Fishes

Stumbled upon this video while going through G4C's forum. Felt it really spoke to me, especially when I'm thinking about how much more I can offer up to Him. I feel there are still areas of my life I need to lay open to Him and let Him change me. It's never easy to do so, cos there's always the pride and ego to overcome and navigate through. In the end, I believe that I'll be able to find the path that He wants me to walk, and to walk in total obedience. This song talks about giving what you have to Him, no matter how small it may be. He'll use it and multiply it many times over.

Corrinne May's songs have always been nice to listen to. Too bad I don't have her cds. Anyone got her 3 albums? :p
