Here are the lyrics to Taylor Swift’s “Safe and Sound” single off the Hunger Games soundtrack. Beautiful and haunting, very appropriate for The Hunger Games. I like it very much.
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I’ll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don’t leave me here alone
But all that’s dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You’ll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I’ll be safe and sound
Don’t you dare look out your window
Darling, everything’s on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music’s gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You’ll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I’ll be safe and sound
Just close your eyes
You’ll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I’ll be safe and sound…
Taylor Swift has two songs for The Hunger Games soundtrack, and the first one is entitled “Safe and Sound”.
Here is the MTV for the Taylor Swift Hunger Games song.
Apparently Taylor is a fan of The Hunger Games. The song is a refreshing new direction for Taylor Swift and I think her voice is more suited to these whimsical, soft folk music tones rather country/pop.
The writer of Safe and Sound are Taylor Swift, Joy Williams, John Paul White, T Bone Burnett.
Can Park Ji Min, dubbed as South Korea’s “Adele”, sound exactly the same as Adele?
You may be surprised. Listen to her rendition of “Rolling in the Deep” below.
I would have thought her Korean accent would affect the way she sang but, wow, looks like she memorized every note and nuance of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep”! Well done!
Facebook recently rolled out Facebook Timeline and made it the default profile for all users. Understandably a lot of people have switched from the old profile to the new one, but I am betting some of you are regretting this switch.
If you want to go back to using the old profile, you can try the tutorial below.
Why? Well, the things Gim tells me about his work… He works as an ear-nose-throat surgery resident. Basically, rhinoplasty and facelifts and cheek implants and dimple surgery and cleft chin surgery and yes, eyelash implant surgery, are in his domain. So I got interested. Since he told me that it’s such a common thing to prettify one’s face these days. Even some of the residents in his team have already had themselves prettified.
I’m not saying I’m not happy with my face. I do love my face. Haha. Not to be narcissistic but it’s a very fine looking face. It’s just my eyelashes, I wish they were longer. My eyelashes are weird in that they don’t curve upwards but curve downwards so my lashes kinda cover my eyes. Bummer, huh? Gim says there is some soft of procedure to grow them out and make they curve upwards.
Why don’t I just try a lash curler? Yeah, tried those. Lasted only five minutes before they went back to normal!
Let me do a bit more reading before I decide on the next best thing…
Gim and I were malling earlier and watched some trade show displays. It reminded me of some things I’ve wanted to buy for some time.
One is a 32-inch TV. I’ve wanted to buy that for quite a time but there are things to consider. One is that I’m living in a rented space, and it’s not exactly easy to wall mount a television set. I’d have to consider that I would be moving it after a few months. Another thing is that if I get a TV, I also need to get cable subscription. And there is usually a lock in period of about a year. That means I would have to commit to staying in my place for at least a year more, which at this point, is not really a commitment I would like to make. Lastly, will this TV be really useful for me and Gim? Gim is often out of the house so he would hardly use it, while I am so content already with my laptop that I’m not sure I would use it much either.
Hmm… maybe the moment isn’t right for a TV. But it will be, someday.
It’s never entered my mind to buy stocks or do time-deposits… I guess my excuse has always been that, well, I need the money I make. I don’t exactly have anything much to save. But then here are my friends who now have lots in their name, stocks, bonds, they’ve got insurance or at least savings in the bank. And it’s leaving me feeling quite vulnerable.
I think it’s about time I spoke to a wealth manager and decided to start making investments. At least 20% of your salary should go into savings, so they say. I just need to learn more about finances.
Brr!! It is cold right now. I think I need a rheem heat pump in my bedroom!
Well it’s not exactly due to the changing weather. It’s more of my boyfriend’s obsession with using the airconditioner! One difference I’ve realized is that women are generally colder than men. Okay maybe I’m generalizing. Fine, *I* often feel colder than *him*.
When I lay on the bed and sleep, I prefer just a fan to cool me off. Anything more and I can’t go to sleep. He, meanwhile, needs the aircon at its strongest, otherwise he sweats and can’t sleep. As you can see, we have trouble agreeing on the perfect temperature.
In the future, I’ve told him, we are going to definitely sleep in separate rooms! Or else he has to learn how to sleep in a WARM bed!!!
After the ordeal of the last few days, I don’t think I need any opiate detox treatment. What I DO need is some stress detox! I need a vacation!!!
And since it’s cold these days, all I can think of is going to Baguio!! I’d like to pick some strawberries and have some ube jam and stroll along Burnham Park… just maybe a day in Baguio would be great!! And then bring home lots of good food.
Which is exactly the opposite of what my friend Jeff wanted to go there for. He wanted to go to a bar and drink and smoke… Okay. I think he has been Manila-ized already!!!
So, I am not sure who I am going with. It’s probably not going to be Gim because he is too busy. But for sure, someone. It’s cold! I want to go to Baguio!
I hope you had your holiday gift baskets delivered in time for the holiday season last year. I read a lot of horror stories about packages that were delivered too late for Christmas, or gifts that never made it to the receiver at all, and a whole lot of broken hearts all in all.
A sweet story I read was about a little girl, all she ever wanted for Christmas was a ballerina music box. You know, you open it up and there’s one or two ballerinas inside, and a floor mirror, and you put the ballerinas on the magnetized mirror and they dance around while the music plays… Anyway, her mom ordered one for her but it was delivered to the wrong address, and the horrible people accepted it!! So she sent in a postcard to this popular website Post Secret and instantly a very kindhearted samaritan decided to contact Post Secret to send another ballerina box to the little girl. And the little girl got it, just in time for Christmas.
Sweet, huh?!?
I had a music box like that when I was a child. It’s one of the few toys that I remember well, and how I loved it. I hope I will remember to buy something like that for my future babies too.
