Song: I Told You So - Carrie Underwood

One day when you share what song I like at the moment with my best friend, Grace told me that she loves this song - I Told You So by Carrie Underwood. As I listened to the song at her blackberry, I knew right away why she like the song. I don't have the privilege to tell the story here but you will know as you read the lyric of the song.

This song tells me about a relationship when one have to go to pursue his/her dream and left. He/she finally realized that he/she still love their boy/girl friend and asking for second chance. What would you do if you are facing the situation? Would you laugh and tell the person: " I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in"? Here is the video clip and lyric:

I TOLD YOU SO

by Carrie Underwood ft. Randy Travis

Suppose I called you up tonight

And told you that I love you

And suppose I said I wanna come back home

And suppose I cried and said I think I've finally learned my lesson

And I'm tired of spending all my time alone

If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted

And it's killing me to be so far away

Would you tell me that you love me too

And would we cry together

Or would you simply laugh at me and say

I told you so

Oh, I told you so

I told you someday you'd come crawling back and asking me to take you in

I told you so

But you had to go

Now I've found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again

If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever

Would you get down on yours too and take my hand

Would we get that old time feeling

Would we laugh and talk for hours

The way we did when our love first began

Would you tell me that you've missed me too

And that you've been so lonely

And you've waited for the day that I returned

And we'd live and love forever

And that I'm your one and only

Or would you say the tables finally turned

Would you say I told you so

Oh, I told you so

I told you someday you'd come crawling back and asking me to take you in

I told you so

But you had to go

Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again

Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again

Love: Love Letter of Beethoven

After watching the unity of Laura and Dennis's love I remember about a love letter. This love letter was written by Beethoven and I knew this love letter from the movie Sex and the City. In that movie, the last 3 sentences become the wedding vow "ever thine, ever mine, ever ours". Here is Beethoven's Immortal Beloved letter:

"Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can live only wholly with you or not at all - Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits - Yes, unhappily it must be so - You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never - Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V is now a wretched life - Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men - At my age I nedd a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection? My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once - Be calm, only by a clam consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together - Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell. Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours"

So, what do you think of this love letter? For me, this love letter showed how big the man's love. How happy to be able to love and to be loved like that? This entry is dedicated for Laura & Dennis... Congratulation on your wedding. May your love for one another be steadfast and strong. Wishing you a wonderful journey as you build your new life together. Cheers!

Life: Teaching Again

Starting last week I teach again. This time around I am not substituting for my boss. I teach again at the same university, International Business Class, so I have to use English as the language. They trusted me to teach Micro Economic. Seems that I have to study a lot about this subject because this is the third time I teach Economic. Somehow I like this subject, I love teaching. It's not about the money, it's about sharing knowledge to others.

First complain from my students: "Miss, you talk too fast. Can you slow down?" Haha. I have to teach the whole book - 18 chapters in only 9 weeks. OMG! How am I suppose to do that? On my first class last week, I taught 2 chapters, with 70 pages of power point slides in 100 minutes. How to be able to speak slowly when I felt I have so little time to explain it? Haha. So sorry my students, next time I try to be more slowly.

This time around, no international exchange student. All of them are from here. So, sometimes they asked question in Bahasa. It's OK. Although I am worrying the test because I can sense that their English is not that good. I don't mind of wrong vocabulary, I worry more on how they can express or explain my question in English. They already asked for an open book test. This kind of test only can be done if the question seek more to individual opinion. I wonder if they can do it. Just wish for the best for them. I wish I can be a good lecturer for them.
