For No One.

Posted by Vania on 8:16 AM
When I first heard about the song "Love Song for No One" by John Mayer, I had a feeling that this song must be unique and it had something beneath it.

I'm right.

I tried to search on YouTube, and in one of his concerts, he told the history of this song; how the relationships between men and women go.

Check this out!



So, this is what he says. Uh, sorry, I'm not good at doing this. I should tell you all, this is a great video to practice your listening. Phew.

Note: This might be the most colorful post I've ever made in my life.

"So, I was thinking about relationships and as it pertains to songs about relationships. And I was trying to think, well it occurred to me that the key, I figured out the key to a relationship and how to make it work. Check it out, this is a tip from the Uncle John."

"When you first meet somebody, you find out they like you, first of all, friend of a friend of theirs says, he or she really really likes you, and it kills you, floors you, sends you to the ground. You got to pick yourself up off the ground, then you get their phone number and you call them up, right? And you say: 'Yeah, that's a great phone conversation, can I see you some time?' and then they say this, they say: 'I'd like that.' 'I'd like that' makes your phone's on the floor again, your heart's about to stop, because of 'I'd like that.' Nothing feels better than 'I'd like that.'"

"So now, your blood pressures' going, you're six feet off the ground, you can't sleep because of 'I'd like that.' So then you hang out for a while, and you call and you talk on the phone all the time, and then you drop the bomb, what feels like bomb, you say: 'You know what? I've been thinking about you a lot.' And she goes: 'AAAAHHHHHH!!' And you go: 'What happened?' And she goes: 'I'm sorry, I just I just I just, that's, I've been thinking about you too.' BAMM! Higher into the sky. But now 'I'd like that'? Done. Now you're up to 'I'm thinking about you.'"

"Then, however number of months pass, it makes you feel comfortable saying it, you say: 'I gotta tell you something.' They go: 'What?', you go: 'I'm in love with you.' And nothing in the world sounds better than 'I'm in love with you.' And then maybe she starts crying, or maybe she goes: 'Heeekkk'. And all the sudden you're like: 'I'm in.' But now, what doesn't work?; 'I'd like that.' and 'I've been thinking about you.' Now we're at 'I'm in love with you.' Then maybe someday it'll move up to 'I love you.' Fast froward, now you're like 'I love you a lot, I love you more than anything in life.'"

"Now, 'I love you' doesn't work. It's a threshold that keeps moving up. Fast forward, like six months, six weeks, whatever the case may be, now you're on like, 'I want to marry you. I want to impregnate you with my love. I wanna, I wanna just send my love to you. Damn it, words don't work anymore.' And then, you say this line, and you know, you know you've used this line before: 'I just I wish they'd put a new word in the dictionary bigger than love because love just doesn't describe what I feel.' And so now he or she starts asking, 'Do you love me?' And you start going: 'Of course I love you.' 'Well, say it!' And it becomes: 'Say it twice.' And it goes: 'Say it three times.'"

"And then you cross a really interesting point, where all the sudden it becomes: 'I hate you, I hate you.' And you go: 'Oh my God!! She hates me!!' And now it's like: 'I hate you more than anything.' And then it's like: 'We're over!!' And then they go: 'No, we're not.' And you go: 'Yes we are.'"

"Now the words completely do not work at all, you're left with nothing. You're throwing punches under water. You're done. You know what the moral of that story is, if there is one. Never, ever, ever, ever, underestimate the power of: 'I'd like that.'"

Seriously, I want you to have a concert in Indonesia.


"I'm so tired of being alone, so hurry up and get here."

Please Stop.

I could have met you in a sandbox.
I could have passed you on a sidewalk.
Could I have missed my chance and watched you walk away?

John Mayer - Love Song for No One.


This song is spinning around my head for the last 3 hours.

Dear John Mayer,
Please stop making these songs that describe my life.
Well, just kidding. Don't you dare to stop making songs.
You are one of the greats.

Sincerely,

Your microphone-wannabe.


Oh, last one. I wanna share you something I got from www.owlcityblog.com
"Why is it - the faster you attempt to heal from something painful, the more frequently it tends to haunt you?" -Adam Young

Now I believe that you can describe your life through music; songs.

I, recklessly, drove motorcycle on last Saturday.
My Mom knew it, but my Dad didn't. Phew.

So, my Mom told my Dad today.

Dad: "You should practice your driving again."
Mom: "SHE HAD DRIVEN IT THROUGH THE MAIN ROAD!"
Dad: "What main road?"
Mom: "MAIN ROAD. She rode Stella too."
Me: *showing pale face*
Dad: "HOW COULD YOU DRIVE A MOTORCYCLE?!!!! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE RULES!!"
Me: "Eeeerrrrr....."
Dad: (explaining about drivers' rules)

Yes, tomorrow's Chemistry semestral test, and my Dad explained about drivers' rules.
I have predicted about my answers in tomorrow's test.
Question: "Calculate the volume of 3.2 g of Sulphur Dioxide, at STP."
Answer: "We should turn the sign lights on before we turned left or right."

Nice one.

There are two things that might be considered as the sweetest things of the week.

1. THE ICKLE AND LARDEE STORY BOOK IS OUT TODAY!

I hope it's available here, with acceptable price. Please please :)

2. Veronica's birthday!

Yes, this might be too much or ridiculous, but I wanna say thanks because you've written my name in one of your posts, and I feel appreciated :)
That's the sweetest thing a friend ever told me. Oh oh, no tears :D
See? Simple things might be precious, at least for me. I seriously appreciate people who appreciate me.

Happy 16th birthday, sweetheart, may everything run very well in your life and God bless :D


A NOTE:
Oh, my God. I just realized that I've tricked many people since last year. I threw eggs on Katya, cake on Handy and WS, flours on Eveline, sprayed the snow-like spray on Vero. 2 months left before my birthday, PLEASE DON'T TRICK ME. I'm scared, seriously. Peace, people -____-v

Phil Collins' Retirement.

Posted by Vania on 11:08 AM


Yes, these things hit me on March 5 in the morning. I even tweeted that!






And I was like, "WHAT THE HEEEEELL WERE YOU THINKING, MR. COLLINS?!!!!"
I tried to find out.
And the result? Surprising and....... acceptable.

BREAKING NEWS - A Message From Phil...



Greetings to all, I've decided to write this in response to the articles that surfaced last weekend regarding my retirement. Why they were printed at all is a mystery, as I haven't spoken to anybody in the press for a few months.
However, many of the articles printed over the last few months have ended up painting a picture of me that is more than a little distorted. Therefore, I would like to add my comments and try to explain again my reasons for calling it a day.


1/ I'm not stopping because of dodgy reviews or bad treatment in the press.
2/ I'm not stopping because I don't feel loved, I know I still have a very large fanbase that loves what I do. Thank you.
3/ I'm not stopping because I don't fit in, this was proved with "Going Back" reaching No 1 in the UK, and doing incredibly well worldwide.
4/ I'm not stopping so I can dive full time into my interest for the Alamo.
I am stopping so I can be a full time father to my two young sons on a daily basis.
Some of the things mentioned above have been said by me in various interviews, but said as asides with a smile on my face and in passing. They were not meant to be "headlines", they were small parts of a conversation. This clearly doesn't come over in print and I should know better.
However, the result is that I have ended up sounding like a tormented weirdo who thinks he was at the Alamo in another life, who feels very sorry for himself, and is retiring hurt because of the bad press over the years.
None of this is true.
Thanks for all your messages on the Forum regarding this stuff, it means a lot that you care.
But there's no need for the straitjacket !

Grenade.

Posted by Vania on 4:22 PM
Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live, oh.
Throw, throw, throw it all, but you never give.
Should have known you was trouble from the first kick.
Had you eyes wide open. Why were they opened?


You gave me all you have, and I keep it in the trash, I keep it in the trash, I do.
To give you all my love, is all you ever asked, but..
What I don't understand is:


I'd throw a grenade for ya,
Throw your head on the blade for ya,
You'd jump in front of the train for me,
You're gonna do everything for me,
but I won't do the same.


If your body was on fire,
I watch you burned down in flames.
I said I love you, I was a liar,
cos I never, never, never did, baby.


If somebody has ever sung this kind of song to you, marry him.
