Crystal Shawanda - You Can Let Go Official Music Video

I finally found the official video of this poignant song. The first time I heard it, I cried buckets. I'm a Daddy's Girl... His only girl... When "that" time comes, I would probably die of a broken heart and I would probably be the one who will have a hard time letting go. My father is not perfect as no man is... but to me, he's the greatest man in my life.... The only one I'd ever love.

YOU CAN LET GO
Crystal Shawanda
Album: Dawn of a New Day

Wind blowin’ on my face
Sidewalk flyin’ beneath my bike
A five year-old’s first taste
Of what freedom’s really like
He was runnin’ right beside me
His hand holdin’ on the seat
I took a deep breath and hollered
As I headed for the street

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I’m ready
To do this on my own
It’s still a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I’ll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go

I was standin’ at the altar
Between the two loves of my life
To one I’ve been a daughter
To one I soon would be a wife
When the preacher asked,
‘Who gives this woman?’
Daddy’s eyes filled up with tears
He kept holdin’ tightly to my arm
‘Till I whispered in his ear

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Oh, I think I’m ready
To do this on my own
It still feels a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I’ll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go

It was killin’ me to see
The strongest man I ever knew
Wastin’ away to nothin’
In that hospital room
‘You know he’s only hangin’ on for you’
That’s what the night nurse said
My voice and heart were breakin’
As I crawled up in his bed, and said

You can let go now, Daddy
You can let go
Your little girl is ready
To do this on my own
It’s gonna be a little bit scary
But I want you to know
I’ll be ok now, Daddy
You can let go
You can let go

I ♥ this song because of Jaden Smith and the movie, 'Karate Kid.' He's so adorable! =)

Fireball Eyes

Since I'm having a difficult time keeping my eyes open, I have to keep this short.

I'm deeply concerned about my conjunctivitis. It seems to be overly resilient to the eye drops that I have been using! To date, I've only experienced a marked improvement once and that was when I used the new eye drop for the first time. The morning after, which was this morning, I'm back to square one -- both eyelids swollen, eyeballs on fire, eyes turned into slits. I would've posted photos, but I reckon it's a little too 'painful.'

Apart from the physical pain, another thing I hate about the whole experience is that in spite of all the time I get to spend at home, I've been useless! I can't cook, I can barely prepare my own meal, and most of all, I can't do anything that requires reading. I'm quite impressed that I'm able to use the laptop now... I've been feeling a bit of relief since my last eye drop application at 11PM. Nonetheless, make no mistake that I'm feeling better. I'm still wearing sunglasses to protect my eyes from photosensitivity and I still have to stop once in a while to dab tissue on my teary eyes. As for the typing, I've been hitting the backspace key to correct my typographical errors! If you see any more, I apologize.

The worst part of this hell is that I miss my wife. The whole isolation drama is seriously getting annoying. I can't even hug her! She has started to get better (except for some spots on her cornea that is also being treated) and we're being careful not to infect her again.

Ugh! I can't believe this is how I'm spending the last couple of weeks of my 29th year on earth, and how I'm opening my 30th! I hope we get well soon!!!

It's Official: 'Sore eyes-free since birth' no more

It's official. My reputation of being sore eyes-free since birth is totally ruined.

On Saturday, we thought it was a false alarm when it cleared up in the afternoon. But no, by Sunday, my right eye was so red and just half-opened -- as if someone punched me in the eye!

Yesterday, PiNkR0b0T and I went to see a doctor. She had to go with me because her condition doesn't seem to get better even though she's been under medication for the past five days. We were given the same eye drops, which is stronger than the first one, so we're hoping for a faster recovery this time.

When I woke up this morning, my goodness! It's in full swing! Both my eyes hurt (as if bruised), the right one almost closed, my vision impaired and even my left eye is now red as well. Ugh! This is so difficult!

Oh well, it's just my second day of being under medication and I'm still hoping for positive results to come soon. The wife and I have some stuff waiting for us. We have to stay positive! ü
