Just Because



I feel sad that we don't talk anymore. It feels strange. I can't get used to it. And so I've removed you from my contact list, because when I see you online, it hurts.

You Belong With Me

I think Taylor Swift has fantastic song lyrics - they are so applicable to almost everyone's love life.

You Belong With Me

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
Shes going off about something that you said
'Cos she doesn't, get your humor like I do
I'm in the room
It's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
and she'll never know your story like i do

But she wears short skirts
I wear T-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up
And find what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
been here all along so why can't you see, you
You belong with me
You belong with me

Walkin' the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey isn't this easy

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better then that
Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that

She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
Shes cheer captain and
I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
all this time how could you not know
Baby
You belong with me
You belong with me

Oh
I remember you drivin' to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry
And i know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time
How could you not know
Baby
You belong with me
You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe
you belong with me

You belong with me


Okay scratch that - it refers to the silent bystanders. How depressing! If you love someone, confess to them! (:

Feeling Emo

Who are one's real friends?

How often should exceptions be made?

When is enough?

Is it worth pining over what's not worth it?

Are some things even worth being emo over?

How do we know who's worth disappointment?

Its so hard to understand someone who is so... different.

Day Two at Siem Reap (part 3)

In the midst of studying for Media Law and my Final Theory Test (of which I flunked the first!), I had a sudden revelation that I HAD to complete posting my photos of Siem Reap, Cambodia.

I suppose its due to reasons like this that I do not do well for tests. Well, let's just hope and pray a miracle happens for my second FTT tomorrow (:

In case you've not been reading on the Cambodia series, here are the first few posts:
Day One
Day One (part two)
Day Two
Day Two (part two)

Let's continue from the end of Day Two (part two), which was when we left the temples and had a BREAK! Hola, lunch!

Meet the Continental Cafe & Guesthouse, a cheap yet good place to get some local / western eats.

This is my Mixed Fruit Shake - which is seriously yummy, chock full of fruits that sucking on the straw makes you feel like your mouth is getting a workout. Mango is definitely a main component of the shake - and its only $1! (:

DSC_8834

Here's a Beef Noodle Soup, also $1, but although it looks good, it apparently doesn't live up to its looks! Oh well, still cheap (:

DSC_8838

We also had the Chicken w Pineapple Rice, of which I forgot the price. But so far, the food here is really rather affordable... and we came back for seconds (:

DSC_8839

After a short nap (cos of the scorching heat), we were back at Angkor Archaeological Park.

The weary tourists trudge on...

DSC_8842

Meet Ta Prohm, famous site of filming for Tomb Raider, I think.

CSC_9518

Not that I watched it. But this site was allowed to remain in its overgrown state, with large trees growing out of the remnants. It was pretty much held up by a lot of wood beams.

DSC_8850

Which, IMO, spoilt the photos!

The trees had particularly shimmery bark too, which means you should photograph there NOT during noon. As you can see, I was facing a lot of shiny reflective problems.

The ruins were particularly interesting though, as compared to the reconstructed / repaired buildings from the Angkorian era which although beneficial to the public, was not how it looked when adventurers discovered the place.

Rubble and tree roots...

DSC_8909

Probably restored carvings:

Pardon the flare here, and stare at the gorgeous humongous tree with its roots encircling the ruins. BIG!!! :D

DSC_8919

A place of worship within...

DSC_8924

Nature regains its stranglehold on the ruins

DSC_8928

DSC_8939

A very naughty boy who KEPT HITTING THE ROOTS and making a commotion! I actually wished the tree would kinda come to life and swallow the kid whole like in the Lord of the Rings. Alas, none of that happened except in my vivid imagination. Neither did his irresponsible father give the boy a whooping.

And then, I catch a glimpse of the elusive monks in their saffron robes. Maybe their elusive only to me.

DSC_8931

Sure, they are going away from me.

DSC_8946

Some even run away, with a polite smile on their face.

DSC_8947

Oh well, maybe I look scary to monks (:

The next post will bring us to Angkor Wat!

Sometimes...

I reminisce on good times and unrequited love.
