Now Playing: A Whole New World

This is going to be girly, princess-y and Disney, so if you can't stand pink and all that jazz, go read another blog.

I just have to post the lyrics to this song that's been playing in my ear for a week now. I have like a hundred songs in my nano but not this one yet, so until I get my hands into my CDs back home, I'm just going to sing this duet with myself. Hey this is possible, don't think "doble kara", but imagine my nephew Miko who can sing Summer Nights from Grease doing both Danny and Sandy's voices. Speaking of Grease, let me digress a bit, my nephew Justine (By Ate Joy and Kuya Edwin Ruiz) is playing the lead role in Grease tomorrow and we're all going to watch. A whole barangay of us.

Now back to the song that I have to get out of my head and into my blog in order to get rid of it:

Aladdin:
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering splendid
Tell me, princess now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

Jasmine:
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world
With you

Aladdin:
Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Jasmine:
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
(Aladdin: Don't you dare close your eyes)

Jasmine:
A hundred thousand things to see

(Aladdin: Hold your breath-it gets better)
Jasmine:
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

Aladdin:
A whole new world

(Jasmine: Every turn a surprise)

Aladdin:
With new horizons to pursue
(Jasmine: Every moment, red letter)
Both:
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

Aladdin:
A whole new world
Jasmine:
A whole new world
Aladdin:
That's where we'll be
Jasmine:
That's where we'll be
Aladdin:
A thrilling chase
Jasmine:
A wondrous place
Both:
For you and me

Ok folks that's my share of cheese for the remainder of the year! It kinds of describes how I've been feeling the past few weeks. Every moment, red letter. Endless carpet ride. I know I'm not really singing solo. It's a duet, with God. It's a chorus, with the people He sends my way. It's an orchestra, with the beauty of His creation around me.

Is it possible to take in all these good feelings in a jar, or a photo perhaps, that I could take out on a rainy day, like when I run out of hope, or forget about being a princess and become a soldier once more? I can't document everything, but I sure hope the R & R is working its magic and storing the memories for when I need to use them someday.

I have a sinking feeling I'll need to be reminded of all these blessings once I get back into the rhythm of the real world once more.
