::I'm going to the BEACH...it's about Time to Sun my Buns::


You know, for a Filipino I feel WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too light. I want to be dark like the Lord intended for me to be. So for my weekend, which is weird because it's Wednesday and Thursday, I'm gonna get a tan. No, I want to be burnt. I seriously don't get why some Filipinos want to be lighter. Be proud of whatever color you are naturally. See, I'm like a chameleon. I tan easy and lose it the same way, so I'm not really sure what my real skin color should be. I like being dark though. I used to believe that lighter was better, it was something that my mom kinda fed me when I was younger. Now it's like, I'm golden brown and I like it gawsh dernit!!! But yeah, I wanted to post a song. I love India.Arie, she believes that a woman deserves to be treated correctly and she'll do the same for her man. It's good stuff. Here ya go.

India.Arie - Little Things lyrics

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Been around the whole world, still ain't seen
Nothin' like my neighborhood
And of all of the fancy satin and silk
My white cotton feels so good

Searched high and low for a place
Where I can lay my burdens down
Ain't nothin' in the whole wide world
Like the piece that I have found

(It's the little things) It's the little things
And the joy they bring
(The little things) It's the little things
And joy they bring

As simple as a phone call just to make it known
That you're gonna be a little late
Pure as a kiss on acheek and a word
That everything will be okay

Call in the mornin' from my little sister
Singin' to me, "Happy Birthday"
In the quest for fortune and fame
Don't forget about the simple things

(It's the little things) It's the little things
And the joy they bring, yeah
(The little things) It's the little things
And joy

Give me some good food, give me some cute shoes
Give me some peace of mind
Bring me some sunshine, bring me some blue sky

Runnin' ‘round in circles, lost my focus
Lost sight of my goal
I do this for the love of music
Not for the glitter and gold

Got everything that I prayed for
Even a little more
When I ask to learn humility
This is what I was told

(It's the little things) It's the little things
And the joy they bring, it's the little things
(The little things) It's the little things
Oh...hee...

Give me my guitar, bring me a bright star
Give me some good news, give me some cute shoes
Give me a letter, give me some matter
Bring me my peace of mind

Give me some Stevie, give me some Donny
Give me my daddy, give me my mommy
Pour me some sweet tea, spoonful of honey
I don't need no Hollywood
