Take a look at yourself in the mirror, who do you see looking back?
Is it the person you want to be, or is there someone else you were meant to be, the person you should have been but fell short of?
Is someone telling you, you can't or you won't? Because you can.

Sometimes happiness doesn't come from money or fame or power. Sometimes happiness comes from the good friends and family. And from the quiet nobility of leading a good life.

Believe that love is out there, believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do.
So take a look at that mirror and remind yourself to be happy because you deserve to be, believe that.

Just The Way You Are

To those that listen to the radio often, I think we can agree that sometimes there are those songs that are played annoyingly far too frequently. There are songs that are played like insanely almost like a couple of times in an hour, I mean like isn't there any other songs to play? An amazing song can be butchered easily thanks to the cheap efforts of certain radio stations, hoping to fill their airwaves with the latest songs in hopes their listeners would be having fun with it. I mean, yeah it is good. But too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing, don't your mom teach you that, radio DJs?

Let's go to another example, you find out that that piece of cake you've just ate during your friend's birthday party is honestly delicious. It is almost like as if heaven had just opened its own bakery and your friend just found the address for the place and decided to get their best cake off the counter. Yeah, that piece is good. But does it mean you are going to scoff down your piece and then head to the table for another piece? And then when you're done with the second piece, you go for another? And then another? And another? Geez. Yeah, it is good but when the calories start coming to fight back in your stomach, don't you dare blame the birthday dude for not stopping you! So, in conclusion. . .radios, please. You may not play a particular song in repeat on air, but that does not mean playing it alternatively after a few songs and then repeat again would make much difference. It only shows how limited choices of songs you have in your station. And that is a perfect reason to change my station every time. Let's see how you'd like that!

Anyways, my post today is about a particular song that's currently quite popular. It's "Just The Way You Are" by the amazing song-writer/singer, Bruno Mars who was recently arrested for possession of drugs. Hmm. Right, coming back. . I had this crazy idea of mixing the lyrics of the amazing song to accommodate to certain situations, of which some might seem pretty insanely unbelievable. However, please bear with me because I am only going to change the lyrics of the chorus of the song, that being its original chorus would be;

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are...

One of the special versions I have thought about is the Narcissistic Egotistical version;

When I see my face,

There's not a thing that I would change

Because I am amazing

Just the way I am!

And when I smile,

The whole world stops to appreciate for awhile

Because boy, am I amazing

Just the way I am!

The next one, I shall introduce to you the I Absolutely Hate You version;

When I see your face,

There're so many things I wish to change

Because you're darn fugly

Just the way you are!

And when you smile,

Your dentist stops and shivers for awhile

Because you're darn fugly,

Just the way you are!

Another one that I've made up is the Absolutely Insane version;

When I see anybody's face,

It makes me tick and I wish to change

Because I am crazy

To watch you like you are

And when I smile

The whole world will know I'm insane for awhile

Because I'm honestly crazy

Just the way I am!

Honestly, it wasn't hard to make your own lyrics parody. I just hope Bruno understands this. It was meant as a joke. Oh, I also have the random Malay version;

Apabila saya tengok mukamu,

Tak ada apa-apa saya mahu tukar,

Kerana anda banyak menakjubkan,

Hanya seperti anda

Dan apabila anda senyum,

Seluruh bumi berhenti dan melihat anda sekejap

Kerana anda menakjubkan

Hanya seperti anda...Yeah...

Yes, if you want to have fun trying out the lyrics, please go ahead. I had fun making these up since this song can be hear pretty frequently recently. Hopefully you would have as much fun as I did! If you made your own version up, why not post it up in the comments? Interesting ideas is pretty fun to read about. Oh, and before I leave, I present to you a cover of the song by an amazing singer I love to listen to, Sam Tsui!

P.S. - Sam sang two songs of similar title. One is by Bruno Mars and the other is by Billy Joel.
