Stitches And Burns

Before Fra Lippo Lippi's Stitches and Burns, my opener today is ...i feel so tired! Jimi-san texted me at abour 2.44am. I'm not used to receiving text messages especially at odd hours so I don't turn my phone to silent mode. I woke up to the You've Got Mail!!! alarm. From there, it was hard to go back to sleep. Then I had to wake up early because my boss is in Dallas and we needed to agree on next year's budget. Whew~~~ I wonder if my mind was alert enough to discuss a very important and serious matter. I was off to Irish embassy at about 11am to submit my visa application for December's biz trip. Then after that I had to catch Mami for lunch. I was back in office at 2pm and was revising my budget proposal based on discussions with my boss. 3pm was an urgent release for VBMS (which I'm thankful that HB was in the mood to fully support and not nag me). 4pm was with Maki-san to discuss the issues around CRM integration. I just finished document preparation for my 6pm meeting, it's about 5.30pm now. I'm waiting for Tokie, she'll get out of her meeting soon, and we will go for a much needed break! Thereafter I'll be in a 6pm executive meeting. Today is a very tiring day....

OK, now back with Stitches and Burns. This song became popular in the 90s, I think. It never had such deep meaning to me until these days ...

People say that I'm a fool

Well I don't know

At least I found out what it takes to be strong

I was dreaming all day long

A drifting cloud

With eyes wide open I would choose not to see

*Now I don't want to see you anymore

Don't want to be the one to play your game

Not even if you smile your sweetest smile

Not even if you beg me darling please

Say good morning to the world

I hope you like it

take good care of all those things that we have I

've been looking for a way for to long now

seems like everything must come to an end

Time after time nothing that I can do

Knowing your ways and loving your ways

But not getting through at all

Day after day leaving the past behind

Coming to terms with stitches and burns and

Learning to fly again !

For religious followers of my blog, you know the rest! Ahhaahha..
