Pocketful of Sunshine May 3, 2008

A lot has happened over the past 2 weeks and obviously I haven’t had the time to update anything here. I can’t even post in GT Since I started at Globe the earliest I left the office is at around 7pm and tumatakas nako nun! Hehe I’m still at my learning curve and I’m sure I’ll get my rhythm soon. But seriously, no one stands up at 5pm sharp! When 5pm rolls in, it’s like 3pm - everyone’s deadma! Anyway, a quick recap of what happened with me — these past 2 weeks it was just house-work-quick yosi with BF-house — day in & day out that’s about what happens to me. I can’t even check my emails because when I get home I just take a quick shower, dress up and even before my head hits the pillow I’m asleep already. Yesterday (May 1), was my Lolo & Mama’s (Lola) 50th Wedding Anniversary! It was a grand celebration - they renewed their wedding vows in church and we had a huge reception at Max’s in Sucat. I’ll post some pictures as soon as I can since they’re not even uploaded to the pc yet.

I’m not a really huge fan of American Idol but I did like that Always Be My Baby rock version by one of the contestants (I know some are cringe-ing saying “You don’t know who he is?!” but as I’ve said I don’t have time to even check my emails what more watch TV). Last night, I caught some parts of AI and saw Natasha Bedingfield’s live performance of Pocketful of Sunshine and I LOVED it! Hehe she’s not even part of the show

Here’s the video of her performance - something to entertain you (and me) while I work (yes, I now bring home work… Pfft).

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a love & I know that it’s all mine oh, oh oh oh
Do what you want but you’re never gonna break me
Sticks & stones are never gonna shake me, oh, oh oh oh

Take me away, a secret place
A sweet escape, take me away
Take me away to better days
Take me away, a hiding place

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a love & I know that it’s all mine oh, oh oh oh
Do what you want but you’re never gonna break me
Sticks & stones are never gonna shake me, oh, oh oh oh

Take me away, a secret place
A sweet escape, take me away
Take me away to better days
Take me away, a hiding place

There’s a place that I go that nobody knows
Where the rivers flow & I call it home
And there’s no more lies in the darkness there’s light
And nobody cries, there’s only butterflies

Take me away, a secret place
A sweet escape, take me away
Take me away to better days
Take me away, a hiding place

Take me away, a secret place
A sweet escape, take me away
Take me away to better days
Take me away, a hiding place

Take me away
(I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine)
A secret place
(I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine)
To better days take me away
Take me away
(I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine)
A secret place
(I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine)
Take me away, a hiding place

The sun is on my side & takes me for a ride
I smile up to the sky, I know I’ll be alright
The sun is on my side & takes me for a ride
I smile up to the sky, I know I’ll be alright
