... jason mraz: we sing, we dance, we steal things ...

i cannot sleep. i'm going to babble on again. my mind is so awake. i've got a lot of thinking to do. so please be patient with me. i just can't stop writing. my train of thought is everywhere so just read on at your own risk.

i'm listening to Jason Mraz' new album now, "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things" and he's done it again. he's just amazing! i am still astounded at how good he is at writing those words, pure poetry. and the melodies and his voice? so, great! i especially love the track "Details in the Fabric" featuring James Morrison. i feel the sadness and a hint of hope in it. this is his best album yet, i think. i felt a lot of powerful emotions listening to this album. the album felt like i was riding a rollercoaster. after listening to the whole album, you cannot help yourself but repeat the whole thing again. its quite addictive! it's as if you're with him, beside him, experiencing whatever he went through when he did this. it's just incredible!

... wasabi ...

i just read a blog post about ice cream, and oh, how i love ice cream! if it wasn't for my being lactose-intolerant, i would be eating ice cream almost every day. there's something comforting about eating ice cream. i love its texture and this smooth and creamy feeling that it leaves in my mouth. i love how it is so soothing and relaxing. it should have the right sweetness, creaminess and temperature and its perfect! my favorite flavours are coffee, green tea and vanilla. i know, i know. those are boring flavours. but, i don't like too much trimmings with my ice cream, like sprinkles, brownies and stuff. though, i love nuts and unusual flavours with my ice cream. however, i must admit, i have not been that adventurous with the flavours. but, i have always wondered if there is a wasabi-flavoured ice cream out there? or maybe just a hint of it? i love wasabi! what kind of sensations would it induce? maybe i could mix it up with vanilla or any nut-flavoured ice cream like macadamia? hmmm... maybe i should try it. time to experiment!

i finally have the Girls and Boys album of Ingrid Michaelson!

i've been waiting for months to get this album. its not available here in the Philippines that's why i had to wait for my sister to send me one from the US, and it's worth the wait. i've been listening to it thru my mp3 player for 3 straight days. i love "The Way I Am" and "Breakable"! her voice is very refreshing to hear and her music, well, pleasant to the ears.

here is the lyrics to one of my faves:

The Way I Am

If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I'd find a match.

Cuz I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I'll make it better.

Cuz I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
