going crazy

by natalie

Ever since the day you went away and left me lonely and cold
My life just hasn’t been the same ohh baby, nooo
When I looked into your eyes the moment that I let you go
I just broke down (down)

Baby if I ever get the chance to be with you again I would sacrifice
Cuz the feeling that I feel within
No other man would ever make me feel so right
Its nice to smile when I get your phone call at night
But I’d rather have you here with me, right next to me
I miss the way you hold me tight

[Bridge]
I gotta let you know I feel so weak without your touch
I never thought that I could ever love a man so much
I gotta let you know I think that we are destiny
For you I’d cross the world, for you I’d do anything

[Chorus 2x]
Thats right baby I’m goin’ crazy
I need to be your lady
I’ve been thinking lately
That you and me, yes we can make it
Just ride with me, roll with me I’m in love with you baby

Break it down now I’ll tell you what I feel
From the moment that I met you its been so damn real
My heart seems to skip another beat
Every time we speak, I can’t believe I feel so weak
Tell me that you really need me and you want me and you miss me
And you love me I’m your lady
I’ll be around waiting for you I’ll put it down be the woman for you

I’m falling so deep for you crazy over for you
I’m calling, calling out to you what am I goin’ to do?
It’s true, no fronting
Its you and no other i can no longer go on without you
I’ll just break down (down)

[Bridge]
I gotta let you know I feel so weak without your touch
I never thought that I could ever love a man so much
I gotta let you know I think that we are destiny
For you I’d cross the world, for you I’d do anything

[Chorus 2x]
Thats right baby I’m goin’ crazy
I need to be your lady
I’ve been thinking lately
That you and me, yes we can make it
Just ride with me, roll with me I’m in love with you baby

Ohhh, ohhh….
Crazy… lady….. lately….
Ohhh ohhh…..
Ohh ohhh ohhhhhh
Baby…

someone’s watching over me

by hilary duff

Intro: A, Am   

1ª Verse:   
A               F#       B                     G#    F#
Found myself today, oh I found myself and ran away
A                   F#             B                 G#    F#
Something pulled me back, voice of reason I forgot I had
                     A                       B Am
All I know is you’re not here to say what you always used to say
         A                    Am    B   
But it’s written in the sky tonight

Chorus:
     E                   B
So I won’t give up, no I won’t break down
Cm             B          A       B Am
Sooner than it seems life turns around
      E                          B
And I will be strong, even if it all goes wrong
          Cm             B                 F#   
When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe
A                 B Am  E   
Someone’s watching over me

2ª Verse: 
Seen that ray of light, and it’s shining on my destiny
Shining all the time, and I won’t be afraid
To follow everywhere it’s taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone, and right now I belong
To this moment to my dreams

Chorus: 
So I won’t give up, no I won’t break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong, even if it all goes wrong
When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe
A                 B Am  E   
Someone’s watching over me
                        
                       Cm
It doesn’t matter what people say
                          B
And it doesn’t matter how long it takes
                    A                  B Am  E
For leaving yourself and you’ll find
E                       Cm
And it only matters how true you are
                       B             A   
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

Chorus:            
      E                   B
So I won’t give up, no I won’t break down
Cm             B          A       B Am
Sooner than it seems life turns around
      E                          B
And I will be strong, even if it all goes wrong
          Cm             B                 F#   
When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe

      E                   B
So I won’t give up, no I won’t break down
Cm             B          A       Am B
Sooner than it seems life turns around
      E                          B
And I will be strong, even if it all goes wrong
          Cm             B                 F#   
When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe
     A                 Am/B   A                 B Am   A                 Am/B  E   
That someone’s watching over, someone’s watching over, someone’s watching over me
 
Yeah yeah
      Cm                B     A/E   
Oh oh someone’s watching over me

the torch in crisis (repost)

this came from my friend Edea:

On September 9, 2005 at Philippine Normal University Cafe, the Board of Regents will decide if they will make the publication fee (Torch fee) optional to the students. This is a clear manifestation how Rosas administration violates the campus press freedom using the ultimate enemy of campus press, the Campus Journalism Act of 1991.

Thus, we are asking all concerned PNU students, faculty, organizations, and human rights advocates to help us in this battle. We are also asking all members of College Editors Guild of the Philippines to join us to uphold the freedom of the campus press and the academic freedom.

Alliance of Procrastination

this came from twistedxfactor of highfiber.

The Alliance of Procrastination made me a member.

I am now one of them, a PROCRASTINATOR.

Our purpose is to make life easier by stalling important things in live.

Why risk yourself in doing something new when you can just follow a routine? Why bother yourself with confrontations and decisions when you can just stay at home and call in sick?

We’re good in delaying thing. Hell, even the FBI can use our strengths to delay a hostage drama! We’re good at that.

For us, the wisest course of action, most of the time, would be to simply avoid the unpleasant tasks, thus shortening the time we actually have to work on it.

Isn’t it better just to have fun than spend your time trying to get good grades? Isn’t it better to just relax than be over-stressed at work? Why do something different when failure is a possibility?

In relationships, why get more deeply involve with someone when you can be indecisive and not get hurt? Don’t you feel in control of yourself when you refuse what others tell you to do? Isn’t fun saying "You can’t make me do it!" when they tried to consume your time with something you didn’t want to do?

Our alliance wants our members to be free from the burdens of rules. We promote power and independence. For us, problems do not exist. We provide an escape; escape from something unwanted.

Our group is getting bigger as we speak. We recruit as many people, mostly the youth who would rather stay in bed than go out hiking.

Want to be part of us?
