  • MAYDAY

    been awhile. i managed to keep my rantings private, and convert my emotions to songwriting. that has been a great journey for me... and guess what! am in the process of recording ---my new album soon!!!;p am stoked!!

    but anyhow.. so much has happened in a year, or two.. just wanted to post a poem a friend of mine wrote, 2 years ago. he's like a child, my angel... and will always be dear to my heart. 

    a reminder to all, that no matter how dark your circumstance... there's always sunshine after the rain...always hope after the pain. 

     

    MAYDAY

    Yesterday, the sky was still a bright day

    Which drifted my mind away

    Thought that it would always be this way

    Hoping that the rain would not wash everything away

    The ray of sun penetrating through the clouds making its way

    Just like my heart that seeks for you everyday

    As much as I like it to be this way

    The day has to give its way

    The moon could shine as bright as it may

    It wouldn’t be the same in any way

    It is the darkest day 

    That made me realize things were heading the wrong way 

    Although my heart and soul cried out mayday

    You were thousand miles away

    Seeking God is the ultimate way

    To guide me in my dismay

    As much as the night would like to stay

    The sun began to shine through the bay

    Bringing a brand new day~

  • The beginning is the end is the beginning

    and so it is the last day of this year.

    second last actually but i will be away all weekend hence i have to post my last post slightly earlier before this year ends.

    All in all, although i had a few rough bumps along the way, i guess this year was pretty alright... ;)

    i've learned a lot, lived a little more, died a little more and also cried a little more. 

    at least i know i've lived... 

    ahh well. the trick is to just keep moving forward, no? 

    When there's nothing left to burn, you've got to set yourself on FIRE! 

     

    one of my favorite songs by bethany joy lens. the lyrics mean so much. i grew up with songs like these to comfort me during long hard times. times when i thought i was the only one who felt this way.


     

    It's October again

    Leaves are comin' down

    One more year's come and gone

    And nothing's changed at all

    Wasn't I supposed to be someone

    Who can face the things that I've been runnin' from

     

    Let me feel

    I don't care if I break down

    Let me fall

    Even if I hit the ground

    And if I

    Cry a little

    Die a little

    At least I know I lived

    Just a little

     

    I become much too good

    At being invincible

    I'm an expert

    At play at safe and keep it cool

    But I swear

    This isn't who I meant to be

    I refuse to let my life

    Roll all over me

     

    Let me feel

    I don't care if I break down

    Let me fall

    Even if I hit the ground

    And if I

    Cry a little

    Die a little

    At least I know I lived

    Just a little

     

    I wanna be somebody

    I, I wanna be somebody

    I wanna be somebody

    I, I wanna be Somebody

    Who can face the things that I've been Runnin' from

     

    Let me feel

    I don't care if I break down

    Let me fall

    Even if I hit the ground

    And if I

    Cry a little

    Die a little

    At least I know I lived...

     

    It's October again

    Leaves are comin' down

    One more year's come and gone

    And nothing's changed at all...

  • Amends

    what is one mistake, or heck...

    even a whole year full of mistakes,

    if i have got 50 more to go?

     

    i don't think i want to let it get to me and hold a grudge ...

    went out dinner with a friend i haven't spoken to in ages,

    to say things were like they used to, well... actually they were pretty similar... ;p

    it did feel good to hang out again after so long...

    so, I guess at the end, i am glad we could still stay friends...

    i really didn't expect it...but i appreciate it now more than ever.

     

    life's too short.

    i guess when it all boils down to it,

    Love God

    Love people.

  • Melancholy

    Some days.

    like these,

    i just crawl out of bed...

    willing the sun 

    not to rise

    the world

    not to spin

    time

    to stand still.

     

    And then i get to go home early,

    just before the rain

    comes pouring in

    like waterfalls 

    over the trees and the rooftops.

     

    I have a cup of coffee,

    chocolates make me smile...

     

    and it isn't so bad after all... ;)
