HNY!
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Fairy Tales and Dragons
For Nicolai.
It is most unlikely to happen that she would ever be cheesy about the 14th of February. To her it is just one of those days but to most, it is considered special, no - very special. Flowers, gifts, lovely cards and the likes have never been more "so everywhere" during this day. It was one of those days in a year when people started to become extra mushy.
To her limited mind, this only happens in fairy tales, bedtime stories of some sort and then wake up being eaten by some monster dragon.
Fantasy.
She never really understood why most people would take an extra mile ONLY on this day to show that special someone how much the world meant to him/her but today is different. Slowly, she quite had a grasp of it.
Around 3 in the morning when sleep finally got hold of her, something happened. Her mobile phone was ringing like hell. She tried to just ignore the call but it was persistent, soon she heard herself mumbled "hello." An old friend was on the other line, he said he was sorry for calling up at this time and he was asking, no - almost pleading if she could come out and see him. He was outside the girl's house.
She went out to see him.
He just wanted to tell her what his plans are for the 14th. He is proposing to his girlfriend and he wanted his dear friend to be the first to know about this. She was stricken and quite immobilized - she wanted to scream at his face and remind him of the time and that she's supposed to be asleep but she just hugged him and gave her a pretty and sincere smile. She was very happy for him.
She listened intently as he tells her his plans - yes, all those cheesy stuff but it was really something. Her friend is about to sweep someone else's feet. The thought made her heart jump like crazy. When it was time for him to leave, he said something like - "I cannot imagine myself NOT being with her." And that was enough for her to cry again.
Nicolai is a prince and after awhile, he finally found his princess.
Walking back to her house, she caught herself smiling - yeah, a pretty good smile.
She realized that fairy tales happen and dragons can be defeated.

Being a girl
While surfing the internet today, I read somewhere about the curse of being Eve and how it can sometimes be a challenge to be a girl. Not to be stupid now, I've decided to write something about that too - Eve's curse and her blessings.
Here goes:
Blessings (Tops)
1. Eve is allowed to cry.
2. She can show her emotions and nobody will think that she's gay.
3. She can talk about anything.
4. She is almost always organized compared to Adam.
5. She takes care of the littlest things (but important) that Adam usually ignores.
6. She can go strut her stuff in a mall the whole day and be fulfilled even if she didn't purchase anything.
7. Her shoes are almost always cheaper than those of men.
8. She can go out in a color coordinated outfit.
9. She does not have to worry so much about hair legs.
10. She strongly tries to avoid violence.
11. She has ability to bring out another life to see the world.
Curse (Tops)
1. She has to suffer and endure the uncomfortable and often painful experience each month of having our periods.
2. Unexplicable mood swings during that period and craving for something sweet, salty and sometimes, sour foods.
3. Birth pains.
4. She is often perceived as the delicate little soul.
5. She is almost always expected to be all dolled up.
And one writer puts it quite bluntly:
“To the woman God said, 'I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to your children. Your desire will be for your husband and he will rule over you.'"
- Genesis 3:16
"Most women generally find their value in relationships than in their achievements. A woman feels most fulfilled when she’s beside her man, or while caring for her kids, or while nurturing any other human being, for that matter. And this is what’s hard about being an Eve: When she sometimes feels a longing for Adam and she doesn’t know where he is."
And yes, as hard as it is - I still love being a girl.

WYMM?
From where I was,
my eyes half shut
he came up to me –
filling me with words.
In that instant,
I couldn’t take them all in.
My mind was half-way through lala-land,
other half is still a little awake.
After delivering all those lines –
he asked me to sit up,
my heart could not contain it,
I knew that something huge is about to happen.
He was on his knees,
and on his left hand
is a little blue box –
and in it is a promise ring.
My heart jumped –
for a moment,
I was speechless.
Tears started to well up my eyes.
His hands were cold
as he held my left my hand.
aiming for my ring finger –
He asked me.
“Will you marry me, Beb?”
I was afloat –
overwhelmed by
this euphoria.
He asked the same question again –
“Will you marry me, Beb?”
And again –
“Will you marry me, Beb?”
In an instant,
I was in the now.
I wrapped my arms around him
and then I give him my yes.
His face lit up
showing off his dimples
staring back at him -
my heart tells me, he is a happy man.
With a new promise ring
on my left ring finger -
I could not help but look forward to
seeing my Hon wait for me when I walk in my ivory dress.

Written a day after the proposal. :)

Woman
A woman does not want to be related to with formula and she certainly does not want to be treated like a project that has answers to it. She does not want to be solved; she wants to be known.

Sudden Breeze
Its here -
I can feel it; I can see it in my rear.
Too strong to shoo it away;
It comes closer day by day.
It stares at me - throws me its warmth look;
Its mere presence poke me even in my nook.
My soul is not even ready for this - yet;
I am not buying this sudden turn; I fret!
People started to talk about this;
Some get cheery and think that this is bliss.
I look at one corner;
Thinking, if only I can handle this much better.
Yes, its getting so near;
Kids love it so dear.
You can see it in their faces;
They're excited and hop to different places.
Oh dear!
I am telling you, Christmas is here.
I can feel it; I can see it in my rear.
Too strong to shoo it away;
It comes closer day by day.

Change is good
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
I haven't been writing for quite sometime now. This new hat that I lovingly wear is indeed the culprit - a new last name and a couple of shiny rings on my left. Even my "virtual" life has to be taken aside for a while. This new role can be quite a task, you see.
For somebody who was so used to having someone do most of the chores for her, being THE wife is a challenge. Promise.
But despite all the domesticity, I am still more than glad to be married to that man who stood by me and persevered to win me back over and over. We are definitely a team to beat - Hon and Beb.
So here I am - from akaDelilah to MrsFants.
