Motivation by Kelly Rowland


Oh lover, don't you dare slow down
Go longer, you can last more rounds
Push harder, you're almost there now
So go lover, make mama proud
And when we're done, I don't wanna feel my legs
And when we're done, I just wanna feel your hands all over me baby
You can't stop there, music still playin in the background
And you're almost there
You can do it, I believe in you baby
So close from here

Baby I'm a be your motivation
Go, go, go, go
Motivation
Go, go, go, go

[Lil Wayne]
Uh, girl I turn that thing into a rainforest
Rain on my head, call that brainstorming
Yeah this is deep, oh, but I go deeper
Make you lose yourself, and finders keepers
It go green light, go Weezy go
I like to taste that sugar, that sweet and low
But hold up wait, new position
I put her on my plate then I do the dishes
She my motivation, I'm her transportation

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/motivation-lyrics-kelly-rowland.html ]

Cause I let her ride, while I drive her crazy
Then I just keep going going, like I'm racing
When I'm done she hold me like a conversation
Weezy, baby

But you can't stop there, music still playin in the background
And you're almost there
You can do it, I believe in you baby
So close from here

Oh Lover, when you call my name
No other, can do that the same, no
I won't let you, get up out that game, no
So go lover, go on and make me rain

And when we're done, I don't wanna feel my legs
And when we're done,I just wanna feel your hands all over me baby
You can't stop there, music still playin in the background
And you're almost there
You can do it, I believe in you baby
So close from here

Baby I'm a be your motivation

Home Made Caramel Macchiato


Tasty, addictive and popular drink. Simply it’s a vanilla latte with a bit less vanilla and extra foam, and with caramel sauce drizzled on top. How to make such a sweet drink at home?

Caramel Macchiato recipe

For a one mug of this full-of-sugar coffee drink you would need
  • espresso
  • milk
  • vanilla syrup
  • and caramel topping
To a coffee mug, add vanilla syrup and steamed milk. Top with milk foam and add freshly brewed espresso through the foam. Drizzle with caramel sauce. If you want to make this Starbucks clone super accurate, pick up bottles of the authentic vanilla syrup and caramel sauce sold in Starbucks stores.  (RECIPE BELOW)

Pam's Caramel Macchiato secret

The shots of espresso need to be added after the steamed milk. The actual recipe for the Grande Caramel Macchiato is 3 pumps vanilla syrup, add steamed milk with a bit of foam on the top, add double shot of espresso, and then make a criss-cross pattern on top of the foam with the caramel.

CARAMEL SAUCE
Caramel Sauce

Making your own caramel sauce from scratch is a lot easier than you might think, and it takes practically no time at all. This recipe comes from my friend Suzanne who is a baking genius. I've watched her make caramel sauce many times and finally got around to doing it myself. My one note of caution is to be extra careful while you are cooking the sugar, as with any candy making process. Once the sugar has melted it has a much higher temperature than boiling water. Also, when you add the cream, the mixture will foam up, so use a pan with high sides.

Caramel Sauce Recipe

  • Cook time: 10 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 6 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

METHOD

1 First, before you begin, make sure you have everything ready to go - the cream and the butter next to the pan, ready to put in. Making caramel is a fast process that cannot wait for hunting around for ingredients. If you don't work fast, the sugar will burn. Safety first - make sure there are no children under foot and you may want to wear oven mitts; the caramelized sugar will be much hotter than boiling water.

2 Heat sugar on moderately high heat in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart or 3-quart saucepan. As the sugar begins to melt, stir vigorously with a whisk or wooden spoon. As soon as the sugar comes to a boil, stop stirring. You can swirl the pan a bit if you want, from this point on. Note that this recipe works best if you are using a thick-bottomed pan. If you find that you end up burning some of the sugar before the rest of it is melted, the next time you attempt it, add a half cup of water to the sugar at the beginning of the process, this will help the sugar to cook more evenly, though it will take longer as the water will need to evaporate before the sugar will caramelize.

3 As soon as all of the sugar crystals have melted (the liquid sugar should be dark amber in color), immediately add the butter to the pan. Whisk until the butter has melted.

4 Once the butter has melted, take the pan off the heat. Count to three, then slowly add the cream to the pan and continue to whisk to incorporate. Note than when you add the butter and the cream, the mixture will foam up considerably. This is why you must use a pan that is at least 2-quarts (preferably 3-quarts) big.
5 Whisk until caramel sauce is smooth. Let cool in the pan for a couple minutes, then pour into a glass mason jar and let sit to cool to room temperature. (Remember to use pot holders when handling the jar filled with hot caramel sauce.) Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Warm before serving.
Yield: Makes a little over one cup of sauce.

One Day, Someday..

If today is your last day to say you love me, won't you say it?

what if tomorrow never comes...will you regret your silence?

Nothing is forever in this world, nothing lasts forever..

Even how much I care, someday I will be gone too.

I know in your own little ways you care, but you never say it.

you never say that I am important, that I am precious to you..

What if I will die tomorrow will you not regret that you were cold?

if you know that I will be gone soon, will you not hold me tight?

Will you not kiss me and stare at me so you will not forget?

These eyes who looks at you with all the love that you needed...

Won't you miss these hands that touches you and caress you?

Will you not miss my smell...my smile..my laughter?

One day you will call, and I won't answer anymore..

One day you will look for me but I will be nowhere..

Someday...you will miss me so much it will hurt so bad

But I won't be there to make you feel good.

I hope that day will never come...

If you are reading this...then it did.

DARKNESS

DARKNESS

One Night I went to bed and it was dark..
Darkness surrounds me, it’s everywhere
Trying to get a hold of me w/ its cold embrace
It’s so easy to succumb to its lulling song:

“Are you tired of fighting, is your heart aching..
Sleep … do rest…you deserve it”

My eyes are heavy, soul is empty
It is calling me, darkness beckons me..

“Give up…hate them…forget them…”

Tears welled-up in my eyes and I felt hatred sprung within me…

Then all of a sudden I’ve heard something..
A whisper so soft as if it’s only a wind:
Child…..child…..my sweetest child…

I open my swollen eyes and saw a glimmer of light,
I looked back at the retreating darkness, saw its greedy eyes
Its snarling mouth tinge with lust and blood..
“Later” it mouthed silently..and hid under the bed,
Inside the closet, deep in my subconciousness.

I listened with my eyes closed, bleeding heart wide open
But the voice was gone, or is it only my imagination?
I lit a candle and said a prayer..

Lord, please hear me…

Life is hard..
People hurt me,
Loved ones disappoints me..
Friends used me to their own gain..
Material things sets me in bondage..
I toil, I sweat, I worked hard..
In order to survive..
But it’s not always enough..
The society shuns me..
Because of my mediocrity

But in spite of these…I believe that
There is something for me..
There is a place for me..
Where I can lie down in a field of green grass
And look at the sky so blue and cloudless
Trees swaying with the breeze in harmony
Basking in YOUR warm embrace…
Whispering in my ears that YOU Love me..

Until then my Lord will YOU lead me?
Will YOU touch my broken heart and heal it
Will YOU give me more strength to fight the battle?
To love unconditionally,
Without asking & expecting anything in return


With YOUR blessing LORD, will you set me free..
From the bondage of material things?
Will you help me to accept that I am not a superhuman,
That I will just let you handle sensitive and difficult situation?
Give me humble heart so I may accept that I am a failure without YOU?


I finished my prayer with thankfulness and there was peace in my heart.
I closed my eyes and succumbed into the oblivion of blessed sleep.

I had a dream..

I dreamt of darkness, screaming in frustration…Fool…..fool!!!!..it says…
And it left grumbling and whining, I closed the door and hit him in the butt.
