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

Soul Mates

"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty How funny it is that even after all these years and how far we've come with animation, this classic Disney cartoon still grabs me. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's a silly I grew up with and can't help but fall for... I know the story is so far fetched: a 16 year old girl (that looks more like a 21 year old) with gold of sunshine in her hair and lips that would shame the red, red rose sings high up in the mountain tops and suddenly attracts the man of her dreams; her soul mate! (who by golly is the prince that she has been betrothed to since she was a baby!). Unbelievable. So it's all fairytale crap, but so what? I'm not into it because of the romance! To tell you the truth, I don't even like Aurora all that much, the spoiled lil' brat. I mean, she's beautiful in EVERY way, finds out she's a princess and is going to marry into royalty on top of her royalty! I can't really sympathize... Seriousl...

Broken

"Paradise" - Coldplay It took a while for this song to affect me, but I guess a windy drive home through an obstacle course of devastating proportions and the sudden panic of having a "State of Emergency" warning flash within my quiet hometown can change things. A lot. I didn't sleep a single minute last night. Although this isn't anything new, it's new to me to want to sleep and not get it. It was unbelievably frightening to be alone in my room with the nite-lite busted and the wind at full speed...even worse when half the roof over my head flew to the ground with a thunderous thud bringing the rest of the sleepless city to its feet. We've seen the Santa Ana winds, but never at this magnitude. It moved cars and busted windows. It rattled fences and ripped gates apart. It knocked over trashcans and picked up patio furniture like it weighed nothing. In the morning when the dust settled just enough for the hazy sun to bring some light to the mayhem, w...

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.
