Travel Moments

When I’m way up here

This is earth, or a portion of it, from a slightly high vantage. However you look at Mother Earth, you can’t deny its awesomeness.

And since I was already thinking of the song, I might as well share the music video and the lyrics with you.

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide!

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we’re only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I’m way up here
It’s crystal clear
That now I’m in a whole new world with you

Now I’m in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
(Don’t you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see
(Hold your breath it gets better)
I’m like a shooting star
I’ve come so far
I can’t go back to where I used to be

A whole new world
(Every turn a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue
(Every moment, red-letter)

I’ll chase them anywhere
There’s time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
(A whole new world)
That’s where we’ll be
(That’s where we’ll be)

A thrilling chase

A wondrous place

For you and me

I'm a Philippine island girl in Africa, a Filipino-South African. A mad banana woman that I am, I live "la vida loca". The banana part isn’t only because I'm Anna (Banana) but because an old boyfriend had observed that although Asian (yellow on the outside) I'm very much Caucasian in my way of thinking (white in the inside) and my actions, too. It's a rather accurate observation. I am that liberal-thinking and modern-acting Filipino... I remain my tragic-comedic self with a day job in slightly more serious field of Finance, Business Operations and Corporate Affairs.

  2. Oh wonderful! We love to sit by the window too. Yeah it can be a little troublesome to get up and go to the bathroom….but then we are not like the kind that needs to get up every now and then….phew. So this is the best seat in the world – at every turn of the plane its definitely a whole new world!

    1. Thanks so much, Stephan. I get those lucky breaks. 🙂 Ah… happy to have caught your attention there. *grin* I got a new favorite not so long ago: Merida, because I’m brave. Haha!
