PEACE ON EARTH! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

though this year, i'm not feeling the "joy" and "magic" of the season, there is something really different about this time of year...where things seem just a little more out of the ordinary and u have the feeling like good things R happening soon...
maybe it's partly cuz it's freezing cold and it affects your thinking.
hahaha.... anyway, i found some nice xmas pics online.
may your days be merry and bright! happy holidays! =D

fireflies

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
-- Crowfoot quote

purple flower, really pretty

found this nice pic online. =)
nice pics of flowers R always cheer me up!

breakup/unrequited love songs

i got a little obsessive, looking 4 songs that describe/is similar to
nakatsu's and mizuki's love story. haha...
so many nice songs and they're so sad, mostly, but such
good songs, too!!! listening 2 them, i can almost feel what
nakatsu feels when he's heartbroken!!! =/

if it was up to me (and lots of other ppl!!!)
nakatsu would end up with mizuki after all.
now THAT
would be a HAPPY ending!!!


==> LISTEN TO "LOST GOOD THINGS" HERE. it's from Initial D. another breakup song that makes me thin of the love story of nakatsu/mizuki! don't have the lyrics 4 it, though.]

05 Lost Good Thin...

Fortunately/Lucky - myolie wu
(lyrics translated by karen)


That day we were so close, no doubt to our love
If you have heard my feelings would you give up, say goodbye, bury my heart
An important lesson, as if i have no hatred for you
Why do i cry to the middle of the night, sleepless


The skies are no longer grey, some would call this fate
Anyway, that day, you had the heart to give up and created this atmosphere
We would never match, i ask myself, even when i'm drowning
Turning and spinning, there's someone, but i'm still waiting

* If you have not let go, you can never love again
Parting ways, yet there is still a record
Now i see that day, where did sorrow come from
My heart has never, and is still not open


Unwilling to let go, fortunately there's love
There was something, therefore the record
Why that day came, i sat sadly outside the door
*But. There was nothing at all, all along.


If i can't possess, take some time off to meet up
Even if you're with someone today, pursuit is useless
Should have retreated long ago, so i can fall asleep again
Still when i think of you, my tears well up


Dried heart is shattered, how could i fall sleep
Reluctantly letting someone i love most run away, too bad love is torn apart
Match made in heaven, why would there be any sins
Don't want to give up, reluctantly my love is buried in sadness

REPEAT*

Actually i will hang on
I was once happy, i know

[leo ku's MV for Dai Hung]

I know I am not "full marks" (good enough)
I know I am not confident
Its true, I am not capable
But I have to try my best just once
I'm sorry if you don't agree

I want the world to know
How crazy I am about you
Every time I think of it, I feel so selfish
Announce it, I LOVE YOU
The funny thing is that you just realized it

[chorus]
I have to explore the wonderful world with you
Presenting you with a load of "Ding Dong" jokes
You've considered accepting me, but you're a bit afraid
Is it true? Admit it
Tie a wicker dragonfly to your head and fly through the world
I give you a flower, do you like it? Take it

When I am more assertive in the future
I will be able to give you wealth and luxuries
So allow me to become a once-in-a-lifetime lover, ok?

I know I am a lazy pig
I know I am not fit for you
But I will subject to your "bullying"
The world is cruel to me
But my love for you is very stubborn
I still have my special tricks
I will be good to your forever
So good that I can be your husband
I'm not afraid to make you sick of me
I will not allow you to suffer for one moment

..................

only this moment - royksopp



Only this moment (Holds us together)
Close to perfection (Nothing else out there)
No one to guide us (Lost in my senses)
Deep down inside I know our love will die
[OK]

Only this moment (Holds us together)
Lost in confusion (Feelings are out there)
Scared of devotion (Doubting intentions)
Deep down inside I know our love will die
[OK]

Stay or forever go
Play or you’ll never know
What heaven decided
You can’t deny it’s all you’ve been waiting for
[OK]

Stay or forever go
Play or you’ll never know
Your spirit's divided
You will decide if I’m all you’ve been waiting for

Guilt in my head
Hath been parted by twist
by the voice of an angel
Revealing her face
And her words they make sense and I do understand,
Falling in love isn’t part of a plan
Forces within me, mix reason with lust
But I try to accept it and not make it worse
Cause I know I might lose you by taking the chance
But love without pain isn’t really romance
[OK]

Only this moment (Holds us together)
Close to perfection (Nothing is out there)
Always beside us (Trusting my senses)
Deep down inside (I know love will survive)

Only this moment (Holds us together)
Close to perfection (Nothing else out there)
Always beside us (Trusting my senses)
Deep down inside I know love will survive
[OK]

Break Up, Turn into a Balloon -joe cheng
[translated by 61er]




Talking about the reasons, Want to laugh for no reason
Let you hug him in between laughter
And this love, turns to friendship, flows away

True love is a reason....Say you're my friend
Then my heart is extremely pained
Mouth says you need to turn back
Real love is fulfilling enough

Break up, I wish you won't go
(Break up, turn into a balloon, Not wanting you go)
Busy using breathing to stop tears from dropping
Break up, I wish you won't go
Like back then, really deeply love you, to one day
Spirit is willing to treasure everything
Happy memories is enough

After hug, break up, No excuse to see again
You want to see, feel bad
Only want to see you happy
Bless you my good friend

Break up, turn into a balloon, Following you everyday
Let the wind and light lead it
a long time after, If the balloon disappears
Please believe, Happy memories to me is enough
(I already believe.)

.............

Love You More At This Minute -- Joey Yung
[translated by The Creative Circle's webmaster:
http://www.geocities.com/thecreativecircle/index.html ]



[just some parts of the lyrics]:

Indulgence must be deep and needs an atmosphere
Memory needs a true feeling
Your voice, face, and smell that I am familiar with
It is about time to lock them in my heart forever

There are still traces of the life with you and what we cherished
In the time and space we still share, nothing warmer still than embracing you
I finally realize how precious it is, when you disappear from my life
It is such a sunny day, but I miss you so much

If you really need to leave, you must teach me to be independent
For all those you ever gave me, I wish I can return in our next life
I want to remember all of this one more time...your eyes, your face.
When it is the time, we will know without saying a word

When trees grow old, we get old, but my love for you will never change
But I cannot find you in the city anymore...

...................


"Far Away"-NICKELBACK



This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

jordan chan's old catchy rap song

i'm not sure,
but i think this song is about
how he is willing to do anything for a woman he loves,
but she treats him badly?

anyway, it's an awesome song, super catchy!
enjoy!

HOW CAN U NOT LOVE HIM?!?! =P

toma ikuta is a very talented japanese singer/actor. just discovered him days ago.
i guarantee u will like him after seeing this fan MV featuring cute/funny scenes of him in the japanese drama Hanazakari no Kimitachi e!!!!!!!!

this delicate thing we've made

some

very

cool

and

addictive

songs!!!

i've been listening 2 some of the songs
over and over today.

especially great
is the
'step into the light'.

though i'm not sure
entirely,
what it's about!
=P

i am WEIRD.

i've always known that i'm weird, but it's funny 2 see it in writing! and I WROTE IT!! haha.

anyway, who cares if i'm weird. i like being different!!!

this is off-topic, but it's funny how i am at once both IMPATIENT and patient. how could that be....
i guess i'm calm a lot, but a lot of the times i also go crazy when my time is wasted.

some ppl talk too much about nothing.
after a while of my thoughts drifting off somewhere and not really listening 2 them, i'm thinking "ARE YOU STILL TALKING???" and they are.
sigh!

KRAMER: Hey! Did you hear the bank on the corner is offering a 100 dollars if you go in there and they don't greet you with a hello?

JERRY: Uh! Really .That's nice.

KRAMER: Now what's with you?

JERRY: I think I'm in love.

KRAMER: Oh. Come on.

JERRY: No it's true. This woman saved my life. I was crossing the street .I was almost hit by a car...and then we talked and.......the whole thing just seemed like a dream.

KRAMER: If a guy saved your life you'd be in love with him too.

JERRY: No, no this woman is different , she's incredible. she's just like me. She talks like me, she acts like me. She even ordered cereal at a restaurant. We even have the same initials. Wait a minute, I just realised what's going on.

KRAMER: What?

JERRY: Now I know what I've been looking for all these years......myself! (Kramer is speechless) I've been waiting for me to come along and now I 've swept myself off my feet.

Why did it all turn out like this for me?

excerpt from the script for The Opposite episode of Seinfeld.
(credit: http://www.seinfeldscripts.com/TheOpposite.htm)

* Enter George

Jerry : Speaking of having it all ... Where were you?

George : I went to the beach. ( J and E exchange looks )

Jerry : Oh, the beach.

George : It's not working, Jerry. It's just not working.

Jerry : What is it that isn't working?

George : Why did it all turn out like this for me? I had so much promise. I was personable, I was bright. Oh, maybe not academically speaking, but ... I was perceptive. I always know when someone's uncomfortable at a party. It became very clear to me sitting out there today, that every decision I've ever made, in my entire life, has been wrong. My life is the opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have, in every aspect of life, be it something to wear, something to eat ... It's all been wrong.

( A waitress comes up to G )

Waitress : Tuna on toast, coleslaw, cup of coffee.

George : Yeah. No, no, no, wait a minute, I always have tuna on toast. Nothing's ever worked out for me with tuna on toast. I want the complete opposite of on toast. Chicken salad, on rye, untoasted ... and a cup of tea!

Elaine : Well, there's no telling what can happen from this.

Jerry : You know chicken salad is not the opposite of tuna, salmon is the opposite of tuna, 'cos salmon swim against the current, and the tuna swim with it.

George : Good for the tuna.

( A blonde looks at George )

Elaine : Ah, George, you know, that woman just looked at you.

George : So what? What am I supposed to do?

Elaine : Go talk to her.

George : Elaine, bald men, with no jobs, and no money, who live with their parents, don't approach strange women.

Jerry : Well here's your chance to try the opposite. Instead of tuna salad and being intimidated by women, chicken salad and going right up to them.

George : Yeah, I should do the opposite, I should.

Jerry : If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right.

George : Yes, I will do the opposite. I used to sit here and do nothing, and regret it for the rest of the day, so now I will do the opposite, and I will do something!

i'm part of an incredible worldwide movement.

HELP!

(listen 2 the song here: http://www.zillahschools.org/music/help.wma)

"Help" - The Beatles

Help! I need somebody.
Help! Not just anybody.
Help! You know, I need someone, help!

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the door.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round.
Help me, get my feet back on th ground.
Won't you please, please, help me?

And now my life has changed in, oh, so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But ev'ry now and then I feel so insecure.
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round.
Help me, get my feet back on th ground.
Won't you please, please, help me?

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the door.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground.
Won't you please, please, help me?
Help me! Help me!

pirates 3 was great!

WATCHED ON MAY 27.
the 7:15pm show,
had 2 wait in line about 2o-something minutes.

i had a stomach ache again that day, but i HAD 2 watch the movie
that day! luckily it went away later.

but it was worth it, cuz it's nice 2 watch a movie w/the theater
almost all filled up! and it was DPS, so the picture quality was
SUPER clear and sharp!!!

MY REVIEW of the movie:
it was confusing,
but funny,
long,
but exciting.

also sad, but mainly exciting, IMO.

a very LOUD movie. haha. all the fighting scenes...storm...

not as good as Pirates2 cuz it's too fragmented. and too silly sometimes. & tried 2 tie up everything....

but all in all, i still give it 4/5 stars. =)
i'm biased, cuz i love johnny! LOL.
BUT, DEFINITELY SHOULD STILL GO WATCH IT!!!!!!!
cuz of the
-GREAT action scenes
-STILL A BETTER MOVIE THAN SPIDERMAN 3 OR SHREK 3
-great scenary/locations
-help PIRATES 3 beat spider-man 3's world-wide gross!!! haha.
-(MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL): 2 SUPPORT JOHNNY DEPP!!!! =)
