Song of the Moment XXXIII: Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire” (featuring Bruno Mars)

It has been 12 days since my family and I returned from our trip to Tokyo, Japan. But until now, I still miss the place and everything about it. I just wish I had lots of money to go back there whenever and how long I want to.

And then Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars song popped into my head – an appropriate Song of the Moment.

I wanna be a billionaire so fucking bad

Song of the Moment XXXII: Ed Sheeran’s “Save Myself”

I’m in a mellow mood tonight after a long day at work, reminiscing and missing a few people while my sad Spotify playlist is on shuffle. I was about to buy a Jack and Coke Zero at the nearest convenience store, but today is Wednesday so I resisted.

And then Spotify played an Ed Sheeran song about loving oneself – something I’m not good at. But I swear I’m trying.

So before I save someone else, I’ve got to save myself
And before I blame someone else, I’ve got to save myself
And before I love someone else, I’ve got to love myself

Good night.

Song of the Moment XXXI: James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful”

I just came back from Tokyo, Japan with my family this morning. How was the whole vacation? Japan blew me away. The cool summer weather made it bearable to walk for miles, the food – especially their sashimi – was amazing, I bought a lot of souvenirs and Foo Fighters albums without breaking the bank, and all of the tourist spots we went to were breathtaking. The only downside of the trip is that 5 days is not enough to enjoy Japan.

Well, I take it back. There is another downside at least on my end. After having dinner at a Saizeriya in Shibuya, I saw a beautiful girl walk inside the restaurant. She has the face of an angel. 23-year-old Deranged Writer might have the courage to approach her, but now I know better and just let her be.

To the girl I saw in Shibuya, I want to let you know that you’re beautiful and I would like to know you more. But then I quote the last 2 lines of James Blunt’s most famous song…

But it’s time to face the truth
I will never be with you
