Serendipity

Serendipity is the facility of making happy chance discoveries.
Horace Walpole, 1743


I’m floating on Cloud 9! Finally saw Serendipity (the movie). Watch it. Perfect for V-day (winks). Incidentally, there’s a book here entitled Serendipity Bible. It was lent to me by an Australian Catholic missionary priest. It’s used for bible-sharing sessions. Browsed through some of the pages. The book’s divided into mini-courses: Men’s, Women’s, Singles, Marriage, Parenting, Youth, Marketplace, Spiritual Formation, Special Needs and Recovery. Guess the course I’m taking now (winks-winks). An interesting read. No tranquilizing effect. Hehe.
Going back to Serendipity (the movie), there's a song there that I really like. It's entitled Waiting in Vain. I love Bob Marley's version. I hate Cher's. MYMP's version is quite ok too. Not sure if the lyrics are right. Got them from a site.
WAITING IN VAIN
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love.
From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,
My heart says follow t’rough.
But I know, now, that I’m way down on your line,
But the waitin’ feel is fine:
So don’t treat me like a puppet on a string,
’cause I know I have to do my thing.
Don’t talk to me as if you think I’m dumb;
I wanna know when you’re gonna come - soon.
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love,
’cause if summer is here,I’m still waiting there;
Winter is here,And I’m still waiting there.
Like I said:
It’s been three years since I’m knockin’ on your door,
And I still can knock some more:
Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.
Ya see, in life I know there’s lots of grief,
But your love is my relief:
Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn
While I’m waiting - while I’m waiting for my turn,
See!I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love;
I don’t wanna wait in vain for your love, oh!
I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna -I don’t wanna wait in vain.
I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna -I don’t wanna wait in vain.
No, I don’t wanna (I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna -I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna wait in vain) -
No I - no I (I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna - I don’t Wanna - I don’t wanna wait in vain) -
No, no-no, i, no, I (I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna -I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna wait in vain) -
It’s your love that I’m waiting on (I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna -I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna wait in vain);
It’s me love that you’re running from.
It’s jah love that I’m waiting on (I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna -I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna - I don’t wanna wait in vain);
It’s me love that you’re running from.
