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.
