Let Me Be Your Wings





You know, only recently, I have discovered the wonders of YouTube.
Seriously.

I mean, before this, I used YouTube to watch music videos and funny clips.
But did you know you could actually watch movies on YouTube? Albeit in parts.
But you can actually watch whole movies on YouTube!!

Oh. You already knew that?
Well, humour me all right? >.<   


We watched Never Been Kissed, The Wedding Singer, Driving Miss Wealthy, and Mulan 2 (in Polish - it was loaded by accident). And then I discovered that my old favourite cartoons were on YouTube too!

OMG.

I used to have them in video tapes. You know the ones you play with the VCR?
They're all spoiled now. Which is sad because the beauty of those animated movies is gone when the tape is.

I missed them.

I found Cats Don't Dance first. OMG. I LOVED that cartoon.
Watching it again felt sooooo good. It brought back sweet childhood memories.
I used to watch the VCR over and over and over again.
Darla Dimple and Danny the Cat and Tilly the Hippo! And they all sing and dance!! :P
They taught me to always believe in your dreams, even when no one else does; to never give up or allow anyone to look down on you because of who you are. :)

Then I found Fern Gully. I remembered Crysta and Zack and evil Hexxus who wanted to destroy the forest. And I was reminded that we as humans are the khalifah or the caretakers of Earth (I remember my TITAS okay) and it is our responsibility to guard it, preserve it. All of us, have that magic of creation. :)

I was excited now. I searched for Thumbelina. OMG. I can't believe it really was on YouTube!!
Ah, the beautiful lyrics and melodies of a Walt Disney movie is, up till now, incomparable!
I loved Thumbelina for its music and characters and most of all, romance. Oh, to fall in love at first sight!
To love, and to have that love returned! The sweetness of young romance can give you a toothache - and I mean that in a good way. :P 
Thumbelina and Prince Cornelius simply belong together. Nothing else will do.

Oh, after watching that I had their duet song stuck in my head. It's called Let Me Be Your Wings (watch it!!).
Ahhhhh, the romance.....sighh.



LET ME BE YOUR WINGS
Thumbelina



Let me be your wings
Let me be your only love
Let me take you far beyond the stars
Let me be your wings
Let me lift you high above
Everything we're dreaming of will soon be ours
Anything that you desire
Anything at all
Everyday I'll take you higher
And I'll never let you fall

Let me be your wings
Leave behind the world you know
For another world of wondrous things
We'll see the universe
And dance on Saturn's rings
Fly with me
And I will be your wings

Heaven isn't too far
Heaven is where you are
Stay with me
And let me be your wings




Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Thank you YouTube!!!!!! XD

Bravo, grandma. Even my 5 year old cousin knew how to log in to Youtube to watch Tom & Jerry. Well..considering your old age...I guess it's not too late to realize it NOW! Talk about being tech savvy...Hey grandma, spend less time on your rocking chair and 1976's beauty magazines will you? :P

"To My Parents: I'm Not Your Damn Slave."

Image
I came across this video that not only shocked me, but, strangely, moved me (in a weird kind of way). A fifteen-year-old girl, Hannah, posted on her Facebook wall about how crappy and how unfair her life is, because she has to do school and  chores at home. She shared this with the entire world on Facebook but blocked her parents from seeing it. Unfortunately for her, her dad, Tommy Jordan, runs an IT company for a living, and, well, let's just say her plan failed. @.@ I would like to transcribe (from the video) what Jordan read from his daughter's Facebook wall: "To my parents, I'm not your damn slave. It's not my responsibility to clean up your shit. We have a cleaning lady for a reason--her name is Linda, not Hannah. If you want coffee, get off your ass and make it yourself. If you want a garden, shovel the fertiliser yourself. Don't sit back on your ass and watch me do it. If you walk into the house and get mud all over the floor that I just cle...

This Old Man

Image
I grew up with nursery rhymes. I don't remember actually learning them in kindergarten, but give me one line, and I'll be able to tell you the rest. Well, most of it anyway. I guess Tadika Kiddyhouse did a good job in teaching kids their nursery rhymes. (No, no, no understanding needed. Just rote memorization! Good job!) :D I can remember every word to "Hey Diddle Diddle". If you ask me nicely I can sing it for you :) Hey Diddle diddle The cat and the fiddle The cow jumped over the moon The little dog laughed to see such sport And the dish ran away with the spoon. One question though: Have you ever wondered what these children's nursery rhymes mean? We've always accepted the unacceptable in nursery rhymes. How a cat learned to play a fiddle, how a cow can jump over the moon, how a dog can laugh, and how dishes can elope with spoons. But one nursery rhyme that's kinda got me stumped is "This Old Man." This old man, he played one...

Teaching Profession

Image
I hate it. I really reaaalllllyyyy despise it. >.<  Oh. I don't mean teaching profession the profession . I meant teaching profession the subject . Yes, I know it's pretty strange to study the subject Teaching Profession when I'm in the teaching profession. But I do. Paper was over and done with. TODAY. *cheers* And boy, am I relieved. Relieved is an understatement. I have been frustrated studying for a subject before. I have struggled with a subject so bad I wanted to give up. But never, NEVER as it was with Teaching Profession - the subject. First pain-in-the-butt fact : Teaching Profession - the subject - is taught in English. Finals was in English. Text book given in MALAY. Bahasa Malaysia. Our beloved national language.  Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against our national language. Honest. But come onnnnnn. Finals in English, text in Malay?? wth. Can't they even be consistent? Uniform? If you're gonna have the text book in Malay, ...
