My Comfort Zone

Aside from being a bookworm, my husband is also a music lover. He loves listening to music as well as playing the guitar. His guitar is neatly placed on its stand near the fireplace and although he’s had it for years, it is still rockin’ and rollin’. He has played so much music on that guitar, but he did mention one time about getting rid of it because he doesn’t play as much as he once did.

It being his birthday next month, I thought of maybe giving him one of those ibanez guitars which I’m sure would ignite his playing passion again. I have been contemplating of what to give him and it has been mind boggling because I simply want to give him the best. So maybe that’s the ticket.

A good friend of mine surprised me with a video from YouTube. It is a music video about friendship that she posted on my Facebook wall. The song is titled “Count on Me” by Bruno Mars. It’s the first time that I’ve heard of the song and the lyrics is really perfect for friends. I like the tune too, very upbeat and not so slow.

The lyrics goes:

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I’ll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can’t see
I’ll be the light to guide you

Find out what we’re made of
What we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three
I’ll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you’ll be there ’cause that’s what friends
Are supposed to do, oh yeah, ooh, ooh

If you toss and you turn and you just can’t fall asleep
I’ll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will remind you

Find out what we’re made of
What we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three
I’ll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you’ll be there ’cause that’s what friends
Are supposed to do, oh yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

You’ll always have my shoulder when you cry
I’ll never let go, never say goodbye

You can count on me like one, two, three
I’ll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you’ll be there ’cause that’s what friends
Are supposed to do, oh yeah, ooh, ooh

You can count on me ’cause I can count on you

Today’s household chores really wore me out. The house was in total chaos after loading all of the materials for Dad’s out of town project last night. There were about thirty workers who loaded the materials into the two 10-wheeler trucks. What caused most of the mess all around the house were the eight hundred bags of cement. There was so much grey dust blown around by the wind that entered the house. I had to swipe everything, from the furniture to the ornaments, etc. The floor was filthy, too; you could see footprints where everyone walked through, so I had to scrub and mop it. And to top it off, I even had to change the curtains. Whew!

I always have one of my MP3 players with me while doing the chores because listening to music perks me up and gets me going, helping me get the job done without feeling so tired. Today was different, however: I’m absolutely exhausted. But I’m done with the chores and I get to spend the rest of the day resting. So, see ya, bye ya, for now!
