Personal Campaign

Song of today: Always [Bon Jovi]

This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up.

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up.

Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby that's just me.

And I will love you baby always
And I'll be there forever and a day always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
And I know when I die you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you always.

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh
Some that made us cry
One that made you have to say good bye.

What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes I'm just a man.

When he holds you close
When he pulls you near
When he says the words
You've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him with those words of mine
To say to you till the end of time.

And I will love you baby always
And I'll be there forever and a day always
If you told me to cry for you I could
If you told me to die for you I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you.

Well there ain't no luck in these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams and our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines.

And I will love you baby always
And I'll be there forever and a day always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
And I know when I die you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you always.

We were waiting for the rest to come, at the drop off at T19 today when this song played. Its nice eh? I think y'all agree with me. I love the piano in this one.

Anyway, okay, I've got a personal campaign, one for myself that is. What's it?

"What's the rush? Slow down!"

I need to take things less slowly, not get swallowed up by the busy life. No, that doesn't mean I throw things down and slack around, no. It means I deliberately take time to enjoy the day as it goes, whatever I am doing. Slower steps, walk slowly, take time to look around, appreciate. Don't rush for trains, the next one is a matter of minutes away only. Yep. And its nice to be able to take things slowly for a change.

Everyone has 24 hours a day, no one has more. Work loads may vary amongst people, but... Everyone seems to get everything done on time don't they? I've got my DVPA presentation prep underway and under control. Econs will be tackled next, after TAR and DVPA. I can get used to this. Compare Australians and Singaporeans. They both have the same number of hours a day. I'm sure if you compare certain jobs, there's even about just as much work too. And who's more relaxed eh? Australians aight?

They take things slower. Yeah, like, look. Their shops close at 5pm. They've got no where to go after 5 at that rate. What do they do? SIt around at home and pace (like my brother when he's bored)? Hell no! I mean, its just that we should sit back and just lay around doing nothing sometimes. Appreciate time. Why do kids get bored, okay, I mean teens, when there's nothing going on? They haven't learnt to take life at a slower pace. Something must always be going on to make life fulfilling.

But voids are just as good, provided that you know how to occuupy it. I think I'm talking about the same thing in a circle, so, I'll stop my rant now. Have fun taking time slowly and enjoying it. =) I know I did. What's the rush for? Slow down.
