The Call

I think it was already past the hour of 1:00 when we watched “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” last night. I somehow had to struggle to stay awake. When it ended around 4 o’clock, the song at the final scenes greatly caught my attention. It sounded like Regina Spektor, and my dormmates agreed with me. This morning, at school, I confirmed that it was really her. I downloaded a copy and it’s currently playing inside my head over and over again. The melody’s pretty similar with “Samson”.

Regina Spektor – The Call

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
‘Til it was a battle cry
I’ll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything’s changing
Doesn’t mean it’s never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You’ll come back when it’s over
No need to say goodbye

You’ll come back when it’s over
No need to say goodbye

Now we’re back to the beginning
It’s just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can’t feel it too
Doesn’t mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
‘Til they’re before your eyes
You’ll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

You’ll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

Lyrics from SongMeanings

If you want a copy, I uploaded the one I downloaded in RapidShare (second time so far). Hurry, while supply lasts. Download 😉

Hey, would you check the time for me please? It’s almost 6:00 in the morning, right? Then get some sleep!

For three consecutive days now, I haven’t been getting some adequate sleep. The other two days I got myself to work on our project so that eventually I will be able to achieve 200 hours of work by the end of the week. So far (over the weekend), I’ve done 28.55, which leaves me at least 25 hours or so to complete the number of hours required. Today is a different thing though. Aside from the fact that I’m still wide awake 6 hours past midnight and I have to report to school by 8:30, I no longer have plans of sleeping at all, being too much afraid of waking up very late and not able to attend to my members. Err, actually, unlike the previous ‘nights’, I was drinking Generoso brandy with four dormmates while downloading PC games here. I didn’t know that life could be much more easier with DAP. :angel: Maybe I’ll just bring with me a pillow and blanket in the lab’ratory about 2½ hours from now.

So I guess that’s it! Adios amigos!
