Empire state of mind



Oooh oooh, New York (2x)
Grew up in a town,
That is famous as a place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud
There are sirenes all around
And the streets are mean
If I could make it here
I could make it anywhere
That’s what they say
Seeing my face in lights
Or my name in marquees found down Broadway
Even if it ain’t all it seems
I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I’m from
Chorus
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothing you can’t do
Now you’re in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York
On the avenue, there ain’t never a curfew
Ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot on the corner selling rock
Preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab
Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger
For more than from an empty fridge
I’m going to make it by any means
I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I’m from
Chorus
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothing you can’t do
Now you’re in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York
Chorus
One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compared
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say yeah, yeah yeah
Chorus
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothing you can’t do
Now you’re in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York

Back to blogging for a bit now. It has been a while since I have been doing this and it feels really strange. Because that I know this is going to be public and everything. Secondly I haven't been blogging for the longest time, hence I've no expectations for myself at all. Stay tune

Gloomy Tuesday

it's hard to bid farewell sometimes, so i guess i'm here to stay for a longer period. adopting the habit of photography once again can be a chore when you know that it's no longer in the blood.  i used to be a photo enthusiast with my first digital camera given to me by my dad way back during high school.  somehow it needs to find it's way back.  i insist. revamping the bedroom is never an easy chore.  i'm only 1/4 started with a new bed frame and some cool & clean accessories.  what i need now is to clear the clutter, draw a plan, get new paint and other big items before getting way ahead with the decorations. was out shopping today once again to cure the moody feeling i've been carrying after the dental appointment yesterday.  it's not an easy task when you have someone like me with an empty eco bag waiting to get it filled with all things lovely. (yes i do literally mean pretty things) no one really gets tired of shopping, well unless th...

We need a little simplicity at times, and today is one of those days.
