Soundtrack of this year

I'm supposed to be anywhere but home by now to celebrate my liberty, but as I'm still feeling a little under the weather and there's a swollen longing inside my chest for some time spent in the comforts of my own home, it looks like I'll be celebrating my liberation at home after all, watching Gossip Girl. But maybe even some solitude would be rather therapeutic.

Anyways, to rescue this barren space my nook in the blogshere has become, I have decided to drop by a little year-end post. After all, I only have approximately thirteen days left before I report for duty - Yes, I got called for PLKN (at Gopeng, Perak, if anyone's wondering). But before I digress...

It would take too many days to sum up how this year has been for me on a personal level, so I thought, what sums up feelings and thoughts better than the lyrics of a song? So, voila. These are a couple of songs that came along with just the right lyrics to suit the many situations I've been in, throughout the year.

No place like us - The Cheetah Girls
If I find the other side of the rainbow, will I find that the gold ain't worth any price? Cause if we ain't there for each other, then all I got doesn't matter. No it won't be right. Set me on top of that mountain, let me fly to the end of the world.

Life after you - Daughtry
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter, as long as I'm laughin' with you. I'm thinkin' that all that still matters is love ever after, after the life we've been through. 'Cause I know there's no life after you.

There you'll be - Faith Hill 
Well you showed me how it feels, to feel the sky within my reach. And I always will remember all the strength you gave to me. Your love made me make it through, oh I owe so much to you. You were right there for me.

Strip me - Natasha Bedingfield 
Take what you want, steal my pride. Build me up or cut me down to size. Shut me out but I’ll just scream.
I'm only one voice in a million but you aint taking that from me.

The Greatest gift of all - Michelle Wright
So you could give me wings to fly and catch me if I fall. Or pull the stars down from the sky so I could wish on them all. But I couldn't ask for more, 'cause your love is the greatest gift of all.

Firework - Katy Perry
You don't have to feel like a waste of space. You're original, cannot be replaced. If you only knew what the future holds, after a hurricane comes a rainbow. Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed, so you can open one that leads you to the perfect road. Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow. And when it's time, you'll know.

Careful - Paramore
You can't be too careful anymore. When all that is waiting for you. Won't come any closer, you've got to reach a little more. Open your eyes like i opened mine. It's only the real world and life you will never know. Shifting your weight to throw off the pain, well you can ignore it. But only for so long.
