gt:i am in love again

It’s Thursday once again, time for one of my favorite memes (and fave topics too^^) again. And for something that made me fall in love, i chose this song from one of my favorite artists, Shawn Colvin, Never Saw Blue Like That.

This song best describes the warm, fuzzy feeling one experiences when one falls in love. It also best illustrates how your surrounding becomes a reflection of how you feel: the sky seems bluer than you last remembered, the breeze blowing its gentle singsong into your ear, and how practically everything around you seem to glow with light + love.

This song was also part of the Dawson’s Creek (remember that famed teen soap in the 90’s?) of which volume escapes my mind now + it does remind me of the first time i fall in love whenever i hear it…

I can’t believe a month ago
I was alone, I didn’t know you
I hadn’t seen or heard you’re name
And even now, I’m so amazed
It’s like a dream, It’s like a rainbow, it’s like the rain..

Cause I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You’ve given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that before

Jeez, I guess it does feel good to fall in love for the first time + here was I thinking we’ve fully recovered from the love bug the love month brings…

Happy Thursday everyone!

of turning green + being carbon neutral

I remember when I was just starting to explore blogging + all the wonderful things +  possibilities it represented, i stumble upon this lovely green badge whilst wandering about a fellow mommy’s rants + ramblings on everyday life…
A struggling green mama, I was fascinated by the idea of making blogging an instrument of planting a tree in your honor in a forest in some other part of the planet! Cool, right? And all you have to do is blog about it? Easy peasy! If every blogger in every corner of the earth participates, soon enough we will have a gazillion saplings planted in a forest that will eventually grow to become trees in a few years. It was sort of like living an anonymous legacy to our children + to the world while helping save forests + mother nature. So how do we participate?

Just a few easy steps to make it green:

  1. Write a blog post about the initiative + insert your favourite button
  2. E-mail the link to your post to CO2-neutral@kaufda.de
  3. We plant a tree for your blog in Plumas’!

Plumas is a National Forest supported by the Arbor Day Foundation, found in Northern California, hopefully more people will participate so they can reach a Philippine forest one day!

So what are you waiting for? Turn green + start by making your blog carbon neutral, now!

this is also my very first entry to Green Living Monday Meme
