Too much love will kill you

Recent song addiction

Mid-twenties crisis

As a twenty four year old and shoved into the working environment, I see...

AND

On another note, I had the whole weekend to write up an audit for my hospital. Highly important for my training year. Naturally, I did all the laundry and cleaned my fridge. 

A love song

When we're listening to Christian songs, we'd rarely categorise them as love songs...

But truly, they are. It's all about God's love for us, and all our love for God.

Why shouldn't we call them love songs? Why should we label them as just 'Christian songs' in our folders?



And how beautiful is this song!

Well...

...progress.



So I'm not the only one who likes this song, ei.

Sends shivers down my spine

Remember the last time you heard a song which was soooo good that you had goosebumps?

It had been such a long time since I had that little shudder of pleasure.

And then a friend posted up a video of Les Miserables' 10th anniversary youtube video on facebook.

Oh my days, I forgot how good that was.

I was so excited when the 25th anniversary videos were available on youtube. Yes, Colm Wilkinson and Michael Ball will be my first loves, but Alfie Boe and Norm Lewis were pretty good.

And then Nick Jonas appeared. I'm not against pop singers but...

It was the passion of Marius (Michael Ball) in this song that had me falling hard and fast. *Cue goosebumps*

And then we have a sudden lapse of judgement by the producers of the 25th anniversary production.

Like, seriously?! Where's Josh Groban when you need him?

Another great broadway love song that melts my heart.


Why am I not into ditsy Korean pop, Gaga or whatever strange new thing that comes up? Because I've heard good music.

I'm just another chick

...cause there ain't no doubt of my love for romcoms!

That moment when the man meets the woman and you think "They're bound to get together!"

The build up between their relationship because love at first sights are just so unsubstantial. 

And the oh-so-toe-curling romance. The stuff I LIVE for...

Cue long exaggerated sigh.

Age has made me slightly cynical about ever having a soppy-rom-com-worthy-gag-inducing romantic gesture ever happening in my life, but what is life without hope, ei.

Pretty people

The world's not short of beautiful people. When I say beautiful, I mean...hubba hubba what a looker!

These are the men with the chiselled jaw, shoulders so broad you can call a country, perfectly formed guns and overall carved-by-an-angel stature.

These are the men I see on television, poster ads and if I'm lucky, walk by and take a large, possibly creepy, whiff of man scent which drives me up the wall.

These are the men we ladies run our eyes up and down their entire length whilst thinking, "I bet our babies will look beautiful."

For me, these are the adorable Ryan Reynolds, Cory Monteith and Jake Gyllenhall; the sexy Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans and Pierce Brosnan. Yes, even Pierce Brosnan despite the age gap, but my, he has aged like fine wine.

Innocently enough, despite drooling over all these men, I still get jealous when my own man looks at a pretty lady. Any pretty lady. Any lady. Any living creature that vaguely resembles a lady.

The world is also not lacking of beautiful women either...with legs that go on forever, porcelain skin, lushious locks and the perfect configuration of 36-24-36.

In fact, they are popping up like daisies, dancing and singing their way into our lives in the form of Korean girl bands. They're so mesmerising-ly attractive that even I, a straight and happily attached person, CANNOT get my eyes of them. So how can I expect men to tear themselves from ogling?

There is no way. So whenever I feel that bubble of annoyance threatening to spew out as a butt load of jealous rage when my man ogles a pretty lady, I calmly tell myself, "Girl, you've checked out about 5 men on your way to work today and ran your hands against the computer screen trying to feel Cory Monteith's abs. Give the man a break."
