Eric Benet- You're The Only One (LYRICS)

*****thank you for this song (you know who you are) ... this means a lot to me!*****
when you told me that you like this song and you made me listen to it...i could barely understand the words except for the chorus that you kept repeating to me. so i turned to mr. google (thank God for his visibility) and voila, i read the entire lyrics.

i hope it's me in your thoughts everytime you listen to this song. or it can also be someone else and you just want to get my better judgment. but, this is the story of us or maybe there are several of us with the same story....in your life....

even then, i still want to believe it's me!

You're The Only One

I'm going back to the day we parted
and all the ways you were broken hearted
I take a trip everyday in my mind.

I see your face, I recall every word
It's playing back like a broken record
I remember every tear in your eyes
If I knew what I know
I'd walk back in time
I would right every wrong ooh
I would change every line
Then you'd be here right now
Just like yesterday
But you'd feel no more doubt
when you hear me say

[Chorus]
You're the only one I want
You're the only one yeah
You're the ony one I need in my life (in my life baby)
You're the only one I love (I love love love you)
You're the only one I need in my life oooh yeah

I see the world through a haze of memories
and other girls don't mean a damn thing to me
No No
It's kind of sad how they just don't compare (don't compare uuuum)
Time will tell let's wait and see
If the love we have was meant to be
Cause I know we got a future out there
Cause you're still my girl
I don't care what they say
Let's go back to our world
Baby don't you throw this love away
Cause I still believe
in the magic of us
It's just a matter of time and
It's a matter of trust
[Chorus]
You're the only I want
You're the only one I need in my life yeah yeah
You're the only one I love,
(You're the only one the only one)
You're the only one I need in my life
I don't need no body else
Now girl it took some time
To get real with myself
Now love ain't easy sometimes
But when you find it let's
Stay to-get-her

[Chorus]
You're the only one I want
(You're the one, you're the one)
You're the only one I need in my life yeah yeah
You're the only one I love
what's it gonna be baby ...what's it gonna be baby
You're the only one I need in my life ooooo
You're the only one I want
you're the only, only only one
You're the only one I need in my life
Nobody but you baby ,Nobody but you baby
You're the only one I love oooh oooh
You're the only one I need in my life
I need you love you want you baby
You're the only want I want oooo
You're the only one I need in my life
Don't you know don't you know I love you girl
You're the only one I love...yeah I need you baby
I need you

Office Wear

Due to the Eid Al Adha Holidays, i was at work for only 4 days - Monday - Thursday. Thats from October 29 - Nov. 1. And sadly, i did not get to experience the free transpo this year (Nov. 1). But, i was able to capture 3 of my office outfits.

Koton dress and Paul Smith flats. Belt came with the dress.

Stradivarius Blazer, Sacoor Brothers inner short sleeve shirt and my 3-year old Aigner trousers. This entire outfit is bursting. Either they shrunk too much or i expanded a lot. Shoes by CL simple pump 70mm which has been with me for 2 years now.

Turtle neck Shirt by Rico Salandanan (a local designer from my home country), skirt by Esprit, belt from River Woods. Shoes is the CL simple pump 70mm. The skirt comes with a belt (sash type) in the same color and material which i just tie in front like a bow. But i chose not to use it this time to break the tone.

Pink Walkathon

Every year Burjuman Mall holds its pink walkathon in support of the Breast Cancer Awareness during the month of October. Since 2007, i would register in this activity but joined the actual walk only 4 times (including this year which was today, Nov. 2, 2012). Not that i don't like to walk 2 kms. but because i miserably failed to wake up early. Walk starts at 8:30 am so i had to be out of the house by 7 am which means waking up at 6 am.

Friday being my only day off is the day that i want to wake up at my own time. But friendships PO, AO and MA are coming so i decided to put my heart into becoming an early riser. Friendship JG called me the night before enticing me to participate, but we never got to see each other as there were throngs of people. We didn't even get to see friendship PO during the opening ceremony and the walk.

This year the walkathon was held at Zabeel Park which is close to my flat. The music woke me up so there's really no reason not to go.

I decided to slather my face with the Bioderma spf 100 sunblock instead of Kiehl's spf 50 and 25 even if my moisturizer already has spf 20. Sun protection to the max..lol!

my walkathon outfit (don't mind the double chin)

performers to entertain the arriving participants

the balloon arch

releasing the balloons

free at last...signals the start of the walk

saw her and decided to have my face painted

with this....the breast cancer logo....on my right cheek (good thing my pores are sleeping)

abundance of bottled water - water stations spread all over the area and distributed by volunteers

i sweated after the walk. i don't know if it was because of the walk or the weather. when i'm out at 35C, i always sweat even just by standing (much like a sauna). but yeah, the atmosphere was sooo much fun and festive...
