Angel of Mine (lyrics by Eternal)
Dedicated to RFB
Oh, Angel
When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought I'd never find
Angel of mine
I look at you (looking at you) looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
Gonna love you 'til the end of time
Angel of mine
What you mean to me you'll never know
Deep inside I need to show
You came into my life sent from above
Better than a dream, such a perfect love
And I'll adore you 'til the end of time
Angel of mine
Woah waoh, angel, yeah, oh
Nothing means more to me than what we share
No one in this whole world can ever compare
Last night the way you moved is still on my mind
Angel, angel, of mine
What you mean to me you'll never know
Deep inside I need to show
You came into my life (my life) sent from above
Better than a dream, such a perfect love, perfect love
And I'll adore you 'til the end of time
Angel, angel, of mine, of mine
Angel, oh angel, angel
I never knew I could feel each moment
As if it were new
Every breath I take or vow that I make
I want to share it with you, share it with you
When I first saw you I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought I'd never find
Angel of mine
You came into my life, sent from above, up above baby
Better than a dream, such a perfect love
You're such a perfect love
And I'll adore you 'til the end of time
Angel of mine
What you mean to me you'll never know
Deep inside I need to show
I look at you, looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
Gonna love you 'til the end of time
Angel of mine
Hot oil ... the ugly
I just finished dressing the burn on my hand caused by the splashing of hot oil during one of my intermittent forays into the cooking world. My palm has 4-5 little blister bubbles forming ... honestly, I'm very tempted to poke them with a sterilized needle but the skin is still a little hard and would inadvertently do more damage than good. Dang. The skin around my knuckles and little finger are now sporting some splotches of red. There goes my fair skin. Luckily not blistering though. Just a dull pinkish red colour.
Of course, it did hurt like hell when the hot oil splashed but I did learn some useful things and am trying to list down some more mental notes for future use:
- Try to cover up as much as possible when attempting to deep-fry something - I'm contemplating getting myself some sort of full ppe complete with visor like the full-faced helmet that motorcyclist use ;p
- Try to ensure the food to be deep fried is as dry as manageably possible and also the parts of your body going anywhere near the oil is dry too - not a good idea to wash something right before you start frying; unfortunately learnt that lesson too late
- Toothpaste especially the minty kind is not only good for your breath but also for relieving burns - oh, man! felt like my skin was boiling from the inside before that
- Mental note to self is to always remember to have ice-cubes handy - had to make do with cooling under running water ... took a long time to ease the burn ... still felt like boiling from within though
Oh ya, most important of all, have your loved ones on speed dial especially your Mommy for guaranteed good advice and lots of soothing words ... ;p
Of course that only lasts upto the moment you have done what is required to dress your burn ... after that, be prepared for a good lecture ... I suggest not cleaning your ears too often ... hehe ... or having low batteries to minimize said lecture :-)
Work and more work
Work one after another. Darn. In this week alone, I've gotten 2 new tasks to do. This in addition to a project (well 2-in-1 actually) given last week. As I'm writing this, I'm thinking it would be a good idea to actually inventorize what I have on my plate:
- Development economic evaluation of a project in Africa - need the scenarios data
- Evaluation of an existing block in Africa - need to model, get the prices, market info, understand contractual terms, if none get the closest terms available in technical websites
- Compilation of PSC econ limits - almost done
- Domestic project evaluation - 2-in-1 kinda thing, need to tweak available models in a complex software of which I have no advanced training yet.
- Integrated projects economic evaluation (total value) - coming soon after no. 1 and no.2 are done
Hmm, out of all this, what I'm most worried about is No. 2. Firstly, because I've never done this type of work before, threfore I don't even know how or where to start. Secondly, everything is due in September. Darn, darn, darn. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. All is well again in the world. Wish me luck :-)
Sunshine
I'm looking at the dismal weather outside my office window right now. Sure it looks gloomy but I hardly feel the slight twinge of depression brought on by the dark skies. It's shining somewhere in the world and in my own little world at this moment in time, the sky is blue and brilliant with beautiful sunshine. My sunshine, RFB, with his sweet smile and his loving gaze. Never fails to melt my heart and make me feel warm and fuzzy all over. This is indeed what sweet love means. Love with open honesty and complete faith in myself and my guy. Feels wonderful to hear the 3 most wonderful words said in the most beautiful way by someone so wonderful. Gushing is nice. I guess I'm still in the initial stages of euphoria brought on by the new relationship I'm in. He's not perfect; just perfect and right for me. This is the first time that I thank God for loving and being loved in return by the same person. I never planned for this; thought I would never find anyone for me. But somehow, just happened to find each other. Fate or blessing? For me, definitely a blessed miracle.
