- Your determination
depends on how much you want to achieve your goal. Your
success in turn, depends on your determination.
You can rest but
Not run.
- All good will come with
a price that you'll someday have to return when the giver is in need
(unless the given can't find you). This is known as OBLIGATION.
-
No
victories last forever. There are always new battles to be fought,
new problems to tackle, new dilemma to resolve, new regrets to
overcome.

Child of the Dawn
-- Gautama Chopra
He was lost. His displacement, disorientation was of a more desperate
and desolate nature for he did not understand what he was lost from.
And one day inspired by his dreams of magic he went on a search for
power and lasting happiness, a search for meaning and justification of
his entire existence. The journey of Awakening.
THe road has many exits. If you keep thinking about which exit
to choose, u wun be able to enjoy your journey now. If you make the
Right choices presently, u dun have to worry about future choices. Wat
r the right choices? the choices dat ur heart feel most @ ease wif
Evil is
juz a name given by us to reject the foul we don't want to admit we
have.
BUt Light n darkness always exist in us
simultaneously. Accept it, admit your faults and your merits can
coodinate with it.
We can't run away from the Truth all the time. Even if we run away, at
the instance we forget but with time, when the presence return, we'll
be thrown back into the same old dilemma, never moving on.
So face it, and conquer your fear once and for all.. |
The Return of Merlin --
Deepak Chopra
A modern day cop, Arthur befriend Melchior,
apprentice of Merlin and set out to defeat Mordred King Arthur’s
demonic black wizard son before he destroy the world. In the timeless
web of times, the past, present and future rejoin.
Excerpt
"What would make us tramps? Its all one’s state of mind, one’s
predisposition. Everyone creates the world they perceive and we all
perceive according to the impressions fixed in the past. It’s the way
we create things, event, other people. You aren’t responsible for
creating the souls of other people but how they relate to you is your
own creation. If you have an enemy he is created in your own heart;
the people who make you afraid make others happy, the ones you hate
are loved by others.
The earth is more than the sum of its
suffering. Despite habit and numbness a person can find the beginning
of the road and if one has courage the whole enormous load of fear –
the dead weight of the past – can be shed
There are
many
personalities in each of us competing to surface but we are not the
role that we are playing.
There are infinite possibilities in our future, just like a time web
spread out in front of us, but human see things in a straight line.
Every little decision, little change in state shift our direction on
the web and we moved accordingly towards a different future.
Carrying the past is the loneliest task. No one can share this burden
with you. With more things gained, there's more fear of losing all
these. If we can abandon the past and embrace the future of unknown,
we will be rid of restrictions on ourselves, there'll be NO limit on
our capability. Expand. Fly High.

Lords of Light
– Deepak Chopra
36 chosen
ones. 36 pure souls. But one went wrong. One who wanted perfection and
was presented with imperfection. When light becomes dark, when the
over-possessiveness to purge out all evil, the seemingly good world
the prophet created turn bad. There is no perfect world. Good does not
exist on its own. Accept your weakness, your evil, not reject it.
Michael, the last of the 36 had to accept himself before he can
challenge and outwit the prophet to save the world, by creating an
imperfect world.
Perfection breed imperfection. Imperfection leads perfection. Because
it is a world of Reflection.
Is this the right way? If you don’t know where
you’re going, what does it matter where you start? |

Excerpts frm
book:
Some
Guiding Principles to live by -- John Gray
-
Believe as if miracles are truly possible.
- Live
as if you are free to do what you want.
- Learn
as if you are a beginner.
- Love
as if for the first time.
- Give
as if you already have what you needed
- Work
as if money doesn't matter
- Relax
as if everything will be okay.
- Feast
as if you can have whatever you want
When Change is not sustained,
Many people become jaded and stop believing To create Change we must
trust in our ability to follow through
and behave as if Miracles truly exist |
The Pilgrimage
-- Paulo Coelho
excerpts
3 types of love
Eros : Manifestation of love that exists between two
people. +ve n -ve eros
Philos : Love in the form of Friendship. Eternal love.
Agape: Love that Consumes
We are always trying to convert people
to a belief in our own explanation of the universe. We think that the
more people there are who believe as we do, the more certain it will
be that what we believe is the truth. But it's not true.
There is no religion that is capable of bringing all of the stars
together because if this were to happen, the universe would become a
gigantic empty space and would lose its reason for existence.
our enemy always represents our
weaker side who joins the battle only because he
knows that he can hurt us in exactly the spot where our pride
tells us that we are most invincible. During the fight we always try
to protect our weak spot so the enemy strikes at the unguarded
side the side in which we have the most confidence and we wind up
defeated because we allow that should never be allowed: we let the
enemy choose how the battle will be waged.
People who consider themselves to be wise are often indecisive when command is called for and rebellious
when they are called upon to obey. They are ashamed to give orders and
consider it dishonorable to receive them |
Veronika decides to
die
Paulo Coelho
When you noe dat you are going to die, what are the things that you'll
want to do most??
At that instance, you'll realise there's everything in life to live
for.
And then, you may finally find your destiny.
WHy would a gal who has
everything in the world, everything to live for, chose to die???
Issit becoz of depression, of trying to escape from the monotonous
life she has made up for herself??
Issit bcoz of trying to escape from facing the fact that she herself
is responsible for her own misery bcoz she is alwaz afraid to venture
beyond the normal and challenge norms for her beliefs??
Issit bcoz she felt suffocated by the expectations of others, of the
need to conform to tradition and what the masses believed in EVEn
though she DUn share the same belief??
Journey
into the world of the so called "mad", who created a separate world
where they do not have to conform to anything, a world dat allows them
to escape from the real world of rules and regulation. Learn to
appreciate life by becoming aware of it. In the end, the antidote for
vitriol/bitterness: the awareness of life, the want to embrace
life.
Madness is the inability
to communicate your ideas. It's as if you were in a foreign country,
able to see & understand everything that's going on around you, but
incapable of explaining what you need to know or of being helped,
becos you don't understand the language they speak there. We've all
felt that. And all of us, in one way or another, are mad.
Perhaps the Mad r the Normal n
the Normal r the Mad. Perhaps the people who r afraid to be mad, are
mad, cos they can never release themselves from the pent-up they felt
and thus, by binding themselves to rules set up by humans theyselves,
they nvr find happiness...
This is quite a troubling book. Like Angel Sanctuary the Manga, it
challenges a lot of normal beliefs. It make you question yourself. soo..
I WUN recommend reading this. even though it let one gain a new
perspective.
Excerpts
- There's
nothing wrong in pursuing
different goals. All of us are unique and have different
preferences. But there's everything wrong with dat, cos when everyone dreams but
only a few realise their dreams, that makes cowards of us all.
The person who's right is just the person who's strongest.
Paradoxically, it's the cowards who are the brave ones, and they
manage to impose their ideas on everyone else.
-
Some people locked themselves
up in sanctuaries and set about saving the world without actually
taking any risks because they knew dat on the outside, they would be
thought ridiculous, even if some of their ideas were very practical.
Everyone had their own theory about everything and they believed dat
their truth was the only one that mattered. They spent eternity
talking, never accepting the fact that good or bad, an idea only
exists when someone tries to put it into practise.
-
Many people don't allow
themselves to love, n bcoz of dat, there are a lot of things at
risk, a lot of future and a lot of past.

The Alchemist
Paulo Coelho
Following a dream and omens *signs of god*, the shepherd boy
left his home to travel to find a treasure in his dreams.
In the markets he was cheated of his gold when he sees what he wanted
to see and ignored the warning gave by the storekeeper. As he relent
to negative tots
I'm going to
become bitter and distrustful because one person betrayed me. I'm
going to hate those who found their treasures because I nvr found
mine. And i'm going to hold on to what little i hav because I'm too
insignificant to conquer to world.
well, he could have ended his journey den n be a disillusioned,
unhappy man trapped in a town all his life but he tot:
When you want something, all the
universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
And he grew positive again. n MOVEd on. At the crystal shop where he
learned to read the omens. As he crossed the desert and realised an
old forgotten language, the language of the world dat everyone, all
birds, all mammals, all living and non-living speaks, dat even when
men has gone, the desert remains and how minute these egoistic men
are, as he met his fateful person and had many a times, wanted to give
up the search for his gift for she said: Love does not hold one from
his destiny. Finally, he met the alchemist, and he learned to listen
to his heart. @ first he wasn't truthful to his heart, but when he
learned, n both became as one, the heart helped him.
There is something in your life, called your destiny dat only u and
only u can fulfill it. No one else can do it for you. Nothing else can
substitute for dat dream. If you give up, you had better not realise
so, else you'll regret for giving up when u r old. Even if you give
up, dun grow bitter at the world.
Excerpts:
- In the end, what people think
of shepherds and bakers become more important than their destiny.
- The wind brought with it the
sweat and the dreams of men who had once left to search for the
unknown. He felt jealous of the freedom of the wind and saw that he
could have the same freedom. There was nothing to hold him back
except himself.
- Beginners' LUck. Why??
Because there is a force that wants you to realize your destiny. It
whets your appetite with a taste of success.
-
It's the possibility of
having a dream comes true that makes life interesting
-
I'm not afraid of failing.
But I just dunno how to do it. What if I cun do it??
Then you'll dies in the midst of trying to realise your destiny.
THat's a lot better than dying like millions of other perople, who
never even knew what their destinies were. But dun worry, usually
the threat of death makes people a whole lot more aware of their
lives.
-
No matter what he does, every
person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world and
normally he doesn't know it.

I see the Moon
- C.B.Christiansen
In its lyrical
simplicity, little msgs danced out frm the book about simple things in
life we shd note but chose to ignore n we cun choose to ignore
anymore. It is a Great book =) I like it dat she's simple, instead of
pretentious to b know-alls. Be Humble n learn. Be Snobbish n u'll
choose ur own downfall.
Story: A book on
a little gal Bitte on growing up, accepting things dat u dun wish to
accept, accepting her sis's premature pregnancy n Bitte trying to
understand Kari's decision to let the child b adopted. As her dreams
of having a niece comes into conflict with reality, Bitte learned to
grow up, understand decision-making n accept reality while in e midst,
not abandoning hope. n in the process, she found the answer to her
greatest question:
What is Love??
Excerpts:
At first not rmbring the past din sound awful. At least if you dun rmbr the past, u dun hav to feel bad abt losing it. n if you dun think
abt the future, you wun have to worry about living thru it. But
another side of me knew that memories and dreams are 2 important parts
of life.

First you must Decide.
Then you must Follow Through.
The Brightest Star sparkles in the Darkest Night
There's nothing you can’t give up. But there's some things u shouldn't
give up.
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself to others. It is
because we are different that each of us is special
Why Compare???
Perhaps its people's way of trying to justify their own mistakes
by condemning others efforts or accomplishments. But why? Undermining
others do not prove your own self worth, It only depreciate your own
value, So why so we keep criticising others to the point of being
unreasonable?
Prelude to downfall: Comparison , a matter of self-worth?
When you are envious or jealous of others' talent or success
When
you start lamenting at your own misfortune..
You
wondered why you worked so hard and yet results differ so much
Losing the battle: Self
delusion & depression
Next you
lost the battle by thinking that others are smart & you are just plain
stupid..
and
life is unfair and such...
The Cycle starts here :
Envy and
jealousy grew like curd & burns your soul...
You
sink into the endless abyss of misery, pain and anger...
And if
u don't try to get out of it yourself.. u never will...
Pain grew on you... you start to hate... hate everything.. hate the
world...
wonder why life is so unfair...
wonder
how come others are so successful and happy
whilst
you are soaked in depression...
Misery
manifested like abscess on your tongue... all because
you
won't admit your failure is due to your ineffectiveness, your
incompetence..
you
won't admit that the efforts u put in were merely superficial...
Why prefer to see the dark sides of things
Why be so greedy and
unsatisfied..
Why watch the world goes
by while you sit there cursing and not doing anything...
Why be a pedlar when you can be a warrior?
Why diminish into the night when you can reflect or sparkle for all to
see
your prime and glory??
You choose your destiny and your path....
Only you can help
yourself... No one else can...
To
fight or not to fight.. it's up to you.... |
Forever
is such a weird and intriguing term.
It's more like a dream, a wish.
When you say forever,
it sounds like it's not possible
but at the peak of your emotion you feel that its the only way to
express your feelings then.
Forever
is not a certainty. It's not realistic. Because things/people/events
are changing all the time.
Yet we all love the word
forever.
Because it's hopeful when you can say it.
Forever
is inspiring when its a wish, but binding when its a promise.
Some believe that you can't promise anything so you can never say
forever,
but rather, only now.
Some believe that
forever is an _expression and it must be said to let
others realise how you feel.
Whatever it is, forever seems
to be a word we use often when young, cease when old,
yet revived again at the complex height of emotion.
Yes, forever
is a very intriguing term. I wonder when can i say it again.. *_*'`
So.. when was the last time you had said..
Forever?? =)

90/10 Principle:
(forwarded from email)
10%
of life is made up of
what happens to you.
90%
is decided
by how you react.
Meaning?
We really have
no control over 10%
of what happens to us.
We cannot stop
the car from breaking
down; the plane being late in arriving, which throws
our whole schedule
off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no
control over this 10%.
The other 90% is different.
You determine the
other
90%.
How? By your reaction. You
cannot control a red light., but
YOU
can
control how you
react.
If someone says
something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the
attack roll off like
water on glass. You don't have to let the negative
comment affect
you. React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong
reaction could result
in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out
etc. How do you react
if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your
temper? Pound on the
steering wheel and hurt your own fingers? Do you
curse? Does your blood
pressure rocket?
Remember the 90/10
principle, and do not worry about it.
You are told you lost
your job. Why
lose sleep and get irritated? It will
work out. Use your
worrying energy and time into finding another job.
Worry consumes time.
Anger breaks friendships and life seems
dreary and is not
enjoyed to the fullest. Friends are lost. Life is a bore

Life n
Such
Life
is like a web. One with many
intricate branching and linking paths. Each decision change the
path the direction. Each decision affects where you end up. The
further from the end you make a decision that deviates, the
further you will evade from one destiny.
Perhaps Each of us has more than One Destinies.
The many destinies somehow linked and somehow not.
The many destinies that change with each change you make in your
life.
That's why life is foreordained and yet it is not.
Cause the paves are already there.
It's just like monopoly. Toss a dice. Decide. Climb up the ladder
or slide down the Snake and see where you'll end.
The Crossroads. The ending. The starting. The bundling.

What's LUck Gotta Do with
it?
The next time you start lamenting about bad luck, think about this
A few people were tested to count the no. of photos in an album.
The "lucky" pple found the answer in 10s, the "unlucky" counted
after 10min, that's bcoz the "lucky" pple saw the notice "Stop
counting there's 34 pics" that span 1/2 a page on the 3rd page of
the album while the " unlucky" pple skipped past it.
Is it really bad luck or is your perception towards life wrong and
making you ignore all the vital warnings or signs that life has to
offer?? =)
Luck is only a man-made illusion made to shift the blame.

Kenshin Craze --
Lovers ONly
He's cool.
Nope, not those unfeeling, hard-hearted kinda cool. He has the
strength, the seriousness and the masculinity when time or
situation requires for it. Yet under the Shuai-dan-le *ultimately
COOL* demeanor, he exudes a gentleness that touches you,
a sensitivity that allures and a sweetness and thoughtfulness
that makes one wept. HIs Smiles.. I love his Smiles..
He carefully wrapped your sadness in layers and layers of
gentleness in that
Honest cheerful smile.. & it makes me feel .. at ease...
Cool yet cute, confident but not threatening..
Intelligent but not overbearing. His small frame doesn't deter
him from being the ultimate idol and protector in a maiden's
heart. Patient and Understanding. Mature. He's all you can ever
want in a guy. He's the ultimate essence of CUTeness and Mr Nice
Guy. He's a dream.
My dream.
Yes. I'm in love.
Strange that i nvr notice him although he's been around for some
time. Perhaps it's due to insufficient intimate contact with
him. That scar that never disappears.. the scar that bear the
burden of the horrid past, the scar that constantly coax him to
fight for Righteous, to put his life away to help others, just
to atone for his ancient mistakes..
Kenshin Himura. A wanderer. The epitome of courage, hero,
sensitivity, gentleness, uprighteous, determination. He nvr
gives up. To fight against the strong, he must constantly fight
to be stronger, in order to protect his belief, people and most
of all, LIfe itself.
The ultimate believer in life after his fateful massacres,
Kenshin showed that in the face of your mistakes, one shouldn't
run away but should face up and help atone in whatever ways one
can. He cannot rub away his regrets, his past, he may be unable
to seek forgiveness from all, but at least he's trying to live
his life the best that he can now. The present. That's all that
matters.
Despite his
utmost to try to appear cheerful, Kenshin always give one a
feeling of solemn, a slight hint of his dark past. I love his
gentle smile and his patience with people. I love how he love
people for what they are, how he recognise the little merits in
others, I love him for his kindness.
I think a hint of melachony suits cool guys.. it just made them
so much more lovable. & Kenshin isn't just cool, he's mature,
intelligent and cute, He's not alwayz cool.. sometimes blur..
sometimes can be bullied.. that's what's so enticing and
attractive about him..
i noe i'm
being repetitive.. i cun put it .. but i'm in a mad craze about
him..
*GRIN* @o@!!!!
---
this is one
morning in a long long time that i finally woke up truly happy
n full of energy, prepared to face the day, the entire week,
work, anything!
It doesn't
matter that it's Blue Monday. It dun matter that it's Friday.
Living means Everyday is a Happy Day irregardless of wat day
it is.
TO be happy
is to be able to find joy in whatever you do.
HAha. Funny. This is e Best i've felt in a longggg time... =D
Indulgance in anime, wat can i say?? it's not kiddish??!!! heheh
not childish!! Definitely NOT> In fact, this is e 2nd Time Anime
has revived me. THank U Kenshin for Being soooo CUTE!! n of coz
ya creator for creating U in e first place!!!
Anime.. Where my Hopes n dreams lie... where i look forward to..
yes, a piece of haven!! n after dat piece of haven, everywhere
is a haven.. =)
Learn to treasure!! Love everything!! All e things i Do, Love
yourself, pple ard you!!
The sudden craze cause me to be less self-conscious, more
energized, more hopeful, n most imptly, to look at what i really
should. The PRESENT.
NOT e PAst. NOT e FUture.
e past which i had hang on to desperately bcoz of e wonderful
memories had at the same time, but filled me with dismay n
despondence with the sad memories dat accompanied it.
e Unknown future which i had tried to envision but instead, grew
disillusioned with because i had no ilking what the future will
be what, what me and my life propose and what path exactly i
want to take.
So now. IT's e present. I love the present. NOW. Love loving
Kenshin. Love having energy. Love knowing what to do AT THIS
MOMENT. Love family n friends around me. LOve watching n lookin
forward to AXN daily. Love smiling and feeling happy. Love juz
having Hopes. Love not brooding over the Past.
Yes. e Present is such a wonderful thing. Why had i cast it away
n buried myself in a past that's no longer around and a future
that has not even come??
Haha.
So here
I am now. In the present. With Current things to do. Yes. NOW.
NOW. NOW>
I love ya KENSHIN!!!
yeah teacup, charisma e word!! OOoooo... Yup eri, love dat pic
most too, dat's y its e centrepiece.
i love his
smiles. He's being able not forgetting the past misdeeds but not
letting the past bind him and living in the present and
treasuring what he has NOW.
Dun let anything bind you. Dun let memories weaken you. Be
strong. At the end of the day. It's You. It's how you live. It's
your life. Be Happy. =)
True strength doesn't come from how well you can perfect a
technique, how well you can handle a weapon, how will you can
wield a sword. It doesn't come from without but within. It comes
from how well you can listen to your heart and heed its call. It
is how truthful you can be to yourself.
A person who fears no death is
strong. But a person who values life is even stronger.
I like Kenshin not because of
his sword technique though it's a REal BIG PLUS cos a winner
always look cuter and easier to admire.
What's most fascinating is how he can stay calm in any situation
and stick to his Principle of helping and not killing. And how
he can understand the psychological mindset of victims and turn
them around to help them. HIs True Strength lies in his mind and
his willingness to face the truth. Because if you can't face the
truth, you continue lying to yourself and can't find the missing
piece of puzzle to your life.
He's a guide for many who had been led astray in the turbulent
times.
And in spite of the many he had killed, he had to live, in order
to save and help the even more people he will meet.
On another
note ..
Changing times
changing climate changing focus... e world is really changing
and full of change all the time.. you have to be constantly on
the look-out and stay ahead of time.. n even if i know e
philosophy/theory, e hardest part is actual implementation.
Everyone, every field, every industry, has a different
requirement. No one can copy another's person path in life
bcoz each path/destiny is unique only to the person. It's so
hard to find e path, but yet, we have to.
There's lotsa maybes
in life..That makes us think of the future.
We can't be together all the times. In time each of us have to
sprint towards our own different destiny. But this is not
separation. Its expedition. It's not the end but the
beginning. ALthough it's sounds lonely but that's the way life
is.
When there's
separation, there'll be gathering. The end of one season marks
the start of another. Maybe beginning and the end are the
same.In
Dedication to Ken-sama...
The courage to live on...
We may make mistakes..
Sometimes the mistakes seemed irrevocable...
But he still moves on.. because someone believed in him..
Because lives have been shed to let him live
Because he has tarnished lives to bring about this new future
that he must protect..
For those whom he had killed.. For those who had died for him
In atonement of his lifetime mistakes..
Kenshin moves on.. Lives... struggles..
To make right.. the greatest mistakes of his life...
Even if his life is perpetually enshrouded in the darkness..
with that one speck of light
on that fateful snow-filled day
Immortalized forever in his stricken heart
he moves... Even if he has to face hell forever..
That one smile.. one laugh...
The last solace... a place to call home..
This he seeks.. this he will find...
For all the years.. finally.. finally..
Even
if we have to live with regrets..
Even if life sometimes seem bleak..
As long as there's one speck of light..
even if one is enshrouded in perpetual darkness..
one will be able to move forward

Destiny is
there for you the drive it.
Coincidence is a bridge that determined people built to become
destiny. |

Song Lyrics
A Moment Like
This --
Kelly
Clarkson
What
if I told you it was all meant to be? Would you believe me?
Would you agree? It's almost that feeling that we've met before
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell you love is here and now
A moment like this Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like
this
Some people search forever for that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Everything changes, but beauty remains
Something so tender, I can't explain
Well I may be dreaming, but still lie awake
Can we make this dream last forever?
And I'll cherish all the love we share
Could this be the greatest love of all?
I want to know that you will catch me when I fall
So let me tell you this...
A moment like this Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like
this
Some people search forever for that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Love,
Me --

I read a note my
grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me
He said Boy u might not understand but a long long time ago
Grandma’s daddy din like me not
But I love your grandma so
We had this crazy plan to leave and run away together
Get married in the first town we came to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter and this is what it says:
If
you get there before I do Dun give up on me
I’ll meet you when my chores are through
I dunno how long I’ll be
But I’m not gonna let you down
Darlin' wait and see
And between now and then, until I see you again
I’ll be loving you
Love, Me
I
read those words just hors before my grandma passed away
In the doorway of the church where me and my grandpa start to pray
I know I’ve never seen him cry in all my 15 yrs
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears:
If
you get there before I do Dun give up on me
I’ll meet you when my chores are through
I dunno how long I’ll be
But I’m not gonna let you down
Darlin' wait and see
And between now and then, until I see you again
I’ll be loving you
Love, Me
If you are
not the One
- Daniel
Bedingfield
If
you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you’re not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you were not mine would I have the strength to stand at all
I never know what the
future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We’ll make it through
N I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don’t want to run
away but I can’t take it
I don’t understand If I’m not made for you
Then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I don’t need you
then why Am I crying on my bed?
If I don’t need you then why does Your name resound in my head?
If you’re not for me then why Does this distance maim my life?
If you’re not for me then why Do I dream of you as my wife?
I don’t know why
you’re so far away But I know that this much is true
We’ll make it through N I hope you are the one I share my life with
N I wish that you could be the one I die with
N I’m praying you’re the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I don’t want to run
away but I can’t take it
I don’t understand If I’m not the one for you
Then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
Cos I miss you body and soul
So strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into
my heart
And pray for the strength to stand today
Cos I love you whether it’s wrong or right
And though I can’t be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side
I don’t want to run
away but I can’t take it
I don’t understand If I’m not the one for you
Then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
Dulce
et Decorum est
Bent double,
like old beggars under sacks
Knock-kneed, coughing like old
hags, we cursed through sludge
till
on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to
trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost
their boots,
But limped on, blood-shod. All went
lame, all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the
hoots
Of
gas-shells dropping softly behind
Gas! Gas!
Quick, boys! - An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in
time,
But
someone still was yelling out and stumbling
ANd floundering like a man in fire or
lime.
Dim, through the misty panes and
thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him
drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless
sight.
He
plunges at me, buttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him
in,
And
watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
his hanging face, like a devil's sick
of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the
blood
Come gargling from the
froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent
tongues,
My friend, you would not tell with
such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate
glory,
The old Lie:
Dulce et
decorum est
Pro patria mori

I hope you
dance --

Ann Womack
I
hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit itout or dance
I hope you dance ... I hope you dance
I
hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin'
Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance ... I hope you dance
Time
is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along.
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder
where those years have gone.
I hope you dance ... I hope you dance
I
hope you dance
Love song for a
Vampire ~ Annie Lennox
Come into these arms
again And lay your body down
Th' rhythm of this trembling heart is beating like a drum.
It beats for you And bleeds for you
It knows not how it sounds
For it is the drum of drums It is the song of songs
Once I held
the rarest rose that ever deigned to bloom
Cruel winter chilled the bud And stole my flower too soon
The loneliness of hopelessness To search the ends of time
For there is in all the world No greater love than mine
Love
Still falls the rain
Be mine forever
Let me be the
only one To keep you from the cold
Now the floor of heaven is laid with stars of brightest gold
They shine for you They shine for you
They burn for all to see
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free

THe road has many
exits. If you keep thinking about which exit to choose, u wun be
able to enjoy your journey now. If you make the Right choices
presently, u dun have to worry about future choices. Wat r the right
choices? the choices dat ur heart feel most @ ease wif.
All of us are
different. Yet the difference is wat that makes all of us Same. If i
cun be lik others, fight for an unknown future, i'll live by myself.
So yes, i'm gonna let destiny take me, let the sch decide smtg but
not all things. It's almost e same as there IS a foreordained future
n yet this predestined future shifts a little with each little
choice u make. Liken to instead of 1 path in ur life, there's many
paths. Its actually a web. Web of time. In a way, the web was fixed
before we wun born. But with infinite possibility, there's infinite
threads in e web and depending on which path u choose at each time,
the web takes u to a different destiny. SO its fixed. yet its not.
Cos u can still decide.
A Story:
One
Man's meat is another Man's poison;
what you perceived to be the best may not be so,
& sometimes, letting go may be the hardest thing to do
There was a mother, whose child had died at childbirth.
Grief stricken, she spent her days in tears by the child's grave
One day, a procession came by
Within the crowd, a frail, small child wobbled with difficulty
trying in vain to cradle a big jug in his minute arms
Whimpering in agony, this is what he said:
Mama, please don't cry anymore
Within the jug bear all the shed tears of the mother...

Living's About Discovering
We have a few us in
each of us to discover
A few lives in each n everyone of us to lead
A few faces to bear
Different Posts and responsibilities to Shoulder
With varying stages,
different phases, changing times,
Our face shift, our voice change, our lives deviate
But with all this, Our heart remains,
With all this, we discover more, we change and we improve
That shaving of
doubt?? Throw it away!!
That hint of jealousy??? Sweep it away!!
That splash of negativity?? Brush it away!!
That spark of anger??? Blow it away!!!
With each phrase,
play the face which you hold in that time, well.
Give it your best
So that there's only praises to sing, n less sorrows to Bear
Regrets may linger, doubts may probe.
But once the phrase is over,
Always remember: There's more than one YOU within you. Waiting to be
discovered.
Move On. Discover the other YOUs within you, that you never knew
existed.
Discover opportunities in life that's there for you but you never
noticed,
Discover other people who may not be right in front of you right now,
but will form an intricate essential part of your life soon
So MOVe ON now. Stop
Clinging ON to past Fabs..
the more obstinate you are, the harder to let go
The Past which you used to cherish .. will foul
The Present which you din treasure will become yesterday
The future which you never look to, will become darkness.
So Think Carefully
now. What is IT that YOU have to Do NOw??
We live in the
present. Not the past. Not the future.

Though I cannot fly
But birds that fly cannot run as happily as I can
Though no music sound when i shook myself
But bells do not recognise as many sounds as I can
The birds, bells and Me
Each of us are so different
Yet each of us have our own Forte
So that makes us .. All the same.
