A Piece of My Happy

"Someone to Love" - Jon B. feat. Babyface

I want to continue this happy trend I'm on for as long as I'll let me.

Happiness is...

My niece.
My "kids" (I miss ALL of them terribly).
Feeling my hair against the middle of my back after waiting almost a year for it to grow out.
Getting a discount at an already discounted price.
Turning on the radio at just the right moment to hear just the right song come on at just the right time.
Hearing the sound of the espresso machine making a delicious Caramel Machiato.
A genuine "Thank You."
A foot massage after a really rough day.
The soothing sensation of Salonpas on my left shoulder.
Craving spaghetti and coming home to it freshly made on the stove.
Seeing cucumbers soaked in vinegar and pepper waiting for me in the fridge.
Receiving a compliment on my blog.
A beautiful outfit that makes me feel just as beautiful wearing it.
An affordable, perfect pair of glorious shoes.
A good movie.
A productive day.
A satisfying conversation.
A warm bath full of bubbles.
A good night's sleep.
Singing in Tagalog.
Dancing to great music with great people who love to dance just as much.
Looking at someone I truly love in the eyes and knowing they truly love me.
Trying something new and loving it.
Conquering my fears.
Anytime my Lakers win.
When my eyeliner doesn't run even after an 8-hour work day.
Getting what I want when I didn't even know I wanted it.
Making friends I can rely on.
Knowing I am just as reliable to them in return.
Seeing holiday decorations a couple of months early.
Knowing that summer's ending and Winter is just around the corner.
Having an actual Winter season.
Buying a great gift and seeing the person's face light up when they open it.
Being told I look younger than I am.
Laughing uncontrollably.
Clean ears.
A soft kiss.
Listening to a song I love that I haven't heard in a very long time.
Keeping a promise.
Reading my horoscope filled with awesome news and having it be right.
Finding something precious I was scared I thought I lost.
Lying down on freshly washed sheets after a good shower and shave.
A vacation.
Receiving 3 different postcards I sent in the mail from 3 different countries I visited as proof that I was actually there.

I thought about all of this last night, but decided to give my mind a rest. It's funny because this song didn't come to me then. It came to me just now...before I turned the computer back on. I wasn't really sure what it had to do with this post, but after paying close attention to the chorus, it suddenly dawned on me. This may not be what I have, but this will one day again be a piece of my Happy.

Lyrics:

Don't even like to think about it
I don't know what I would do without it
I only know I live and breathe for your love
Baby you came to me in my time of need
When i needed you, you're there for me
Baby, the love from you is what got me through
It's because of you I was able to
Give my heart again, you give me

Someone to love
Someone to touch
Someone to hold
Someone to know
Someone to love
Someone to trust
Someone to hold
Oh someone to know

I thought I'd never love again
I thought my life was over and
I didn't want to face nor even see another day
Suddenly from nowhere, baby you appeared
You dried my tears, you cared for me
Baby your love for me, truly rescued me
It's because of you, I was able to
Fall in love again, you give me

Someone to love
Someone to touch
Someone to hold
Someone to know
Someone to love
Someone to trust
Someone to hold
Oh someone to know

For so long in my life, I wouldn't let love inside
But i swallowed my pride the day you arrived
Now that you're by my side
Everything is all right
It's because of you, I was able to
Give my heart again, you give me

Someone to love
Someone to touch
Someone to hold
Someone to know
Someone to love
Someone to trust
Someone to hold
Oh someone to know

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...

UnBreakable Me

"Like A G6 & Bass Down Low" - Far East Movement, The Cataracs, & Dev I promised every week at the least. For Me. This is me keeping my promise. For Me. Cuz it's what I've been doing. For Me. And it's what I'll always do. For Me. Lyrics: If you wanna get with me There's some things you gotta know I like my beats fast And my bass down low (Drop it to the floor) Ba-ba-bass, bass, bass down low (to the floor) Bass, bass, bass down low (Drop it to the floor) I, I, I like my beats fast (to the floor) And my bass down low (to the floor) Bass, bass down low (Drop it to the floor) Bass, bass, bass down low (to the floor) I, I, I like my beats fast (Drop it to the floor) And my bass down low (to the floor) Popping bottles in the ice, like a blizzard When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 (808) Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I'm feeling so fly like a G6 Like a G6, Like a G6 Now I...
