Oh The Wait Was So Worth It....

I am really fascinated with the lyrics, the best sung notes, the entire melody... leaves me speechless. This is one of the most beautiful song ever written and ever sung. This song brings my mind to travel, puts me to sleep, leads me to cry and to smile at the same time. Sing me this and my world will melt. ;)

Sharing you the versions I best liked. And let's start with the Originals:

Words and music by Jason Mraz and the Raining Jane (Mona Tavakoli, Chaska Potter, Mai Bloomfield, Becky Gebhart)



Then, the covers:





wonderful cello playing.. nice!



And these kids... they're good!



And of course the versions which tops my heart:

From his Live on Earth Concert (Chicago, IL) 

Through timeless words and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds, not of this earth
And tides may turn, and the heart disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together
And we tore our dresses, and stained our shirts
But it's nice today, oh the wait was so worth it.

see you later Mr. A-Z,

Dani

He's Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jason is in Manila!

I just don't know how to explain why I love this singer so much. I have never ever in my 27 years looked up to a singer like this. It's always a feeling of happiness and positivity when I listen and even watch him sing and perform in youtube. And seeing him live, it's really priceless.

What more if I am in Karylle's shoes? Oh my, just imagining it gives me shivers.

I guess you don't stop looking up to a singer because he has this nice voice and he has mad writing skills. It is I think what happens after all the camera and the stage. We wonder most of the time on what they do when they are not being watched and they are not on the spotlight. And I believe that Jason has that -- the ability to share his soul to everyone around, connecting to people to let them know that they are loved, acknowledged and they do have a choice to continue on and enjoy this sweet moments of life -- with or without the camera.

I never knew Jason personally of course, yet just by reading his blog before and commenting on some of his posts, I felt like a part of that circle that he created for friends, family and fans.

Freshness Factor Five Thousand is no longer in existence but to those who have silently read and cried, laughed, commented, learned and shared their life too with the wonderful writings, I believe that the blog never stopped. We just don't see it physically but the words live on, like a book that never ceases to have it's story told.

I don't have a clue but following him kinds of give me a hint. Maybe it was because of break up with Tristan. I don't know, yet, Tristan changed the title of her blog as well. (Tristan Prettyman - J's ex-fiance). This doesn't matter anyway. She's one of my favorites too.

J continued to write and fixed his site with everything on it. It has evolved as well from that kind of stick- figured character to the vintage colored page which he used to promote his 2011 world tour and presently, using a grand view of a scenery as it background. Now, it is easier to find writings, musings, rantings which are just as beautiful as he is. Of course, he has his twitter which I prefer to not have.

I am excited for tomorrow. REALLY. To see him perform live is just a wonderful Christmas present in October.

I really just can't hide it,
Dani

... Just Happy For Joie

It was flashbacks of our high school days, of her heartbreaks and mine, of unending stories of both our family and friends and finally, seeing her genuine beautiful smile wearing that all white gorgeous gown, I found tears rolling down my face when the enormous wooden door of the Shrine opened. She was one of the closest and dearest to my heart, Joie. The feeling was happiness that at last she found the love of her life and her best friend for life.

As they say, there are two events in a woman's life that you will see her on her most beautiful state. I guess, in this case, I witnessed the first one.

May you both be guided by our Lord all the days of your lives! Congratulations and best wishes Jayson and Joie! We'll be excited for the babies! :)


Love, love, love.
