If I Were A Boy by Beyonce

I should know that you’re not gonna change

‘Cause you’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down
You’re wrong when it’s right
It’s black and it’s white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(You) You don’t really wanna stay, no
(You) you don’t really wanna go-oh
‘Cause you’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bipolar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can’t get off this ride

You change your mind, like a girl changes clothes

‘Cause you’re hot then you’re cold
You’re yes then you’re no
You’re in then you’re out
You’re up then you’re down
You’re wrong when it’s right
It’s black and it’s white
We fight, we break up
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go

Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it
Cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleeping alone

I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’ll be faithful,
Waiting for me to come home, to come home.

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say it’s just a mistake,
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
yeah you don’t understand, ohhhh
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you’re taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

But you’re just a boy

Chris Brown Superhuman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Chris Brown)Weak
I have been crying and crying for weeks
How’d I survive when I can barely speak
Barely eat
on my knees
(Keri Hilson)
But that’s the moment you came to me
I don’t know what your love has done to me
Think I’m invincible
I see through the me
I used to be

[Chorus]
(Chris)
You changed my whole life
(Keri)
Don’t know what you’re doing
To me with your love
(Chris)
I’m feeling all superhuman you did this to me
Superhuman heart beats in me
(Both)I think it stopped me here with you
Superhuman
[Chris](I feel so superhuman) Superhuman
(I feel so superhuman)[Keri]
Superhuman

[Verse 2]
Strong since I’ve been flying and riding the wrongs
Feels almost like had it all along I can see tomorrow
(Keri)But every problem is gone because
I’ve flown everywhere with love inside of me
It’s unbelievable to see
How love can set me free

[Chorus]
(Chris)
You changed my whole life
(Both)
Don’t know what you’re doing
To me with your love
I’m feeling all superhuman you did this to me
(Chris)
Superhuman heart beats in me
(Both)
I think it stopped me here with you
Superhuman

[Chris]
(I feel so superhuman) Superhuman
(I feel so superhuman)

[Bridge]
It’s not a bird, not a plane.
(Both)It’s my heart and its going gone away
(Chris)
My only weakness is you
Only reason is you
Every minute with you
I feel like I can do anything
(Both)
Going going I’m gone away in love

[Chorus]
(Both)You changed my whole life
Don’t know what you’re doing
To me with your love
I’m feeling all superhuman you did this to me
Superhuman heart beats in me
I think it stopped me here with you
Superhuman
(Chris)Superhuman

Treasure Planet

I really love the cartoon movie treasure planet!!

John Rzeznik – I’m Still Here (Jim’s Theme) Lyrics

I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that’s held in your arms

And what do you think you’d ever say
I won’t listen anyway
You don’t know me
And I’ll never be what you want
Me to be

And what
Do you think you’d understand
I’m boy, no, I’m a man
You can’t take me
And throw me away

And how
Can you learn what’s never shown
Yeah, you stand here on your own
They don’t know me
‘Cause I’m not here

[Chorus]
And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don’t feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong

And how can the world want me to change
They’re the ones that stay the same
They don’t know me
‘Cause I’m not here

And you see the things they never see
All you wanted – I could be
Now you know me
And I’m not afraid

And I want to tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man
They can’t break me
As long as I know who I am

[Chorus]

And how can the world want me to change
They’re the ones that stay the same
They can’t see me
But I’m still here

They can’t tell me who to be
‘Cause I’m not what they see
Yeah, the world is still sleepin’ while I keep on dreaming for me
And their words are just whispers and lies that I’ll never believe

[Chorus]

And how can you say I’ll never change
They’re the ones that stay the same
I’m the one now
‘Cause I’m still here

I’m the one
‘Cause I’m still here
I’m still here
I’m still here
I’m still here

I’m still here
I’m still here

“Pill” Healthy

My roommate Alliya is on a diet. She keeps on asking for our advice regarding what to do to lose weight. Of course, we told her to cut eating too much and to exercise daily, but if she doesn’t pay attention to what we’ve said, she could be at risk. I think part of why people have low self-esteem is because of obesity. But this is not only what’s alarming because most people nowadays tend to set aside health in favor for work or study. Whatever our reasons are, we should never neglect our wellness. 

There is technology to make us thin through liposuction and the like. But some people fear it, some must even take financial considerations. Technology costs much, and anyway what are we in a hurry for? We can’t always make haste the things in our lives especially when we’re the ones at fault.

I have seen a best option for Alliyah: How about diet pills? But with the market  flooding with many products how will she know which diet pills that work? Indeed, another choice is to get all natural. Why not go for herbal diet pills? These are the best diet pills for people because these are made using natural ingredients that are helpful to the body. If you settle for security go for safe diet pills, you won’t regret it. Look at it this way: these pills provide you a solution for your weight problems and at the same time nourish your body n a natural way. A great help would be control of one’s self. Choose healthy, choose the best.

Catch A FAlling Star by Cristina Pantoja-Hidalgo

“Catch a star and put it in your pocket….”

from a song

I. Introduction

A Hatched Poet at Amherst

When I first read about Emily Dickinson in our American Literature class, I noticed how brief her poems were compared to those of Walt Whitman’s which were first discussed. I was given the opportunity to introduce her in our class through reporting. I encounter her again and her name reminded me of a recluse yet a quite admirable woman poet.

According to T. W. Higginson she was a “partially cracked poetess at Amherst.” It was quite understandable since, she was a poet ahead of her time. She brought poetry that was different from the traditional forms during her time. Poets that time faced struggles: external as brought about by the Civil War and internal since there was the issue of originality of purpose, to be freed from the traditional modes of life and thought, and the struggle to create a new world.

Discovery Schools

I thought school is very cruel to those far away from the cities where universities are found. It almost seems a hundred miles away and the cost is too much. With technology, we are not anymore in the Paleolithic age- there are new devices and gadgets that comfort us. I did have a better idea for these problems: why not enroll in online degree programs.

I have many professors who are at the same working and so doctoral online degree programs is what they opt for so that they get updates in their profession. And besides there are also business programs online to help busy people get along with their careers.

I’ve always known that investing on education is not a waste of money nor time. There are many people who take for granted education, and it’s such a grave loss for their part.

It was another cool discovery because there are still lots to learn.

Working Circuits

My first course choice for the university was computer science. I loved looking at computers and working in them. I am amazed by the circuits etc that work in machines. I think most of us would like the easy ways around, and so we rely much on technology. Guess what I have discovered recently! There really are degrees to choose online!See this makes life more convenient for us. I had just learned that there are computer online degree to apply in an online computer university. What’s even better is that computer degrees online is another way for us to nourish our minds with great ideas and new learning.
There are online programs available at universities such as Boston University, Cornell University, University of Notre Dame, and the University of Maryland. Whew I’ve never been to those places but they sure sound great. I do hope learning for us is as fun as receiving gifts from Santa Claus.
