nota# tres

Es el momento de disfrutar de las músicas!

~ mikazuki @ cresent moon @ みかずき @ 三日月~

A very nice song to be enjoyed. Can't stop listening to it  :)

(english translation)

We were always together
The two of us walked down a straight road
Separating into two,
we walked off in our separate ways

I hold to this chest that overflowed in loneliness
Even now, I look up at a sky that seems about to cry
I thought of you…

*Even in the nights without you
like that, no more cry
I won’t cry anymore
Because I’m trying my best
Because I’ll become strong
You must be watching too
This crescent moon that seems like it’ll disappear
Because we’re connecting
Because I love you

The days when I warmed my completely chilled hands by myself
I so, so yearned for your warmth

No matter how much I was told “I love you” on the phone
I couldn’t ever rely on you
I wiped my tears…

Even in the nights without you
like that, no more cry
I won’t cry anymore
Because I’m trying my best
Because I’ll become strong

Next time, when will we be able to meet, I wonder?
While embracing the batteries up until then
I said the one word that you love

Repeat *

I stretched out my hand toward the crescent mooon
Let these feelings reach you

(japanese lyrics)

zutto isshoni ita futari de aruita ipponmichi

futatsu ni wakarete betsu betsu no hou aruiteku

sabishisa de afureta kono mune kakaete

ima ni mo nakidashisou na sora miagete

~ jupiter @ the voice ~

T introduces the song to me. I agreed with her that the lyrics is really very meaningful ..

(english version - the voice)

*1 

Everyday I listen to my heart
at times when I can't see
when my faith is nowhere to be found
I trust the voice in me

So when you're lost, wishing for an angel
or a hand to pull you through
when the world is on your shoulder
just trust the voice in you

*2 

Everyday I listen to my heart
when I'm too numb to feel
when my strength is nowhere to be found
I trust the voice in... me

Sometimes life moves in mysterious ways
and you don't know when it will end
it's a fight no one can fill your place
and nothing's like you plan

But when you call, looking for an answer
to justify what you have to do
Baby don't look any further
just trust the voice in you

Everyday I listen to my heart
when I'm just too blind to see
when my faith is nowhere to be found
I trust the voice in me

When the world is on your shoulder
and you're looking for your way

Repeat *2

When we all have our own private war
you know there's times when doubt fills your head
when all good advice will only get you misled

Repeat *1

Repeat *2

I trust the voice in me

(japanese version - jupiter)

Everyday I listen to my heart
Hitori janai 
Fukai mune no oku de tsunagatteru
Hateshinai toki o koete
kagayaku hoshi ga
Deaeta kiseki oshiete kureru
Everyday I listen to my heart
Hitori janai 
Kono sora no omune ni idakarete 

Watashi no kono ryoote de nani ga dekiruno?
Itami ni furesasete sotto me o tojite
Yume o ushinau yori mo kanashii koto wa
Jibun o shinjite agerarenai koto 
Ai o manabu tame ni kodoku ga aru nara
Imi no nai koto nado okori wa shinai

Kokoro no shijima ni mimi o sumashite

Watashi o yondanara dokoedemo iku wa
Anata no sono namida watashi no
mono ni

Ima wa jibun o dakishimete
Inochi no nukumori kanjite

Watashitachi wa daremo hitori janai 
Arinomama de zutto aisareteru
Nozomuyoo ni ikite kagayaku mirai o
Itsumademo utau wa anata no tame ni

choices

I had a great length of talk just now. It actually felt quite good. It had been for quite some time since I had such a talk, I think it would had been with C. That's really ages ago.

Life is such a weird thing. Life is amazing, mysterious, happening, unpredictable, inbalance, imperfect, etc. But I guess by the end of the day, life is just one thing - choice!

I think I would agreed that the best word to describe life is "choice". 

When you opt for going right, at the same time you have the equal choice to choose going left. When you feel sad, at the same time you can choose to be happy. When you feel angry, you can choose not to be.

You map of life, the map that shows you the journey of your life is actually written by you, yourself. God have created multi-paths leading to all kinds of possibilities, but by the end of the day, it's still you yourself, who decide which path to take.

a smile or a frown

Do you wake up with a smile or a frown? Maybe no one really noticed whether one wakes up with a smile or a frown in their face.

It feels good to wake up with a smile on your face, as if you have just reach a brand new world, starting a brand new life with so much hope and happiness to be shared. You feel the adrenaline rush to get everything planned and get done with. You feel like passing on the happiness spirit around you, smiling to anyone, anything that crosses your path.

On the other hand, to wake up with a frown, it'll makes you feels down, jumpy or unease.

So, if you have a choice, do you want to wake up with a smile or a frown?

The choice is yours!

puzzle

I'm puzzled.  I just have this sudden feeling that to write about "puzzle" yet I do not have any single idea on how to start it off. After pondering for quite sometime, I've finally get a conclusion on the word "puzzle".

Life is just pieces of jigsaw puzzle being connected piece by piece, one at a time. Everything seems to be "destinated", and it is just as if we are trying to find the right piece to be connected to the correct position at the right time.

Don't you think so?  :)

cloud sighting

What do you think of clouds? What are clouds to you? A dark gloomy piece of cotton-like layer that brings rain and thunderstorm? Or just simply a piece of soft cottony layer that add to the beauty of the sky?

Have you ever looked up into the sky and gazed at the clouds? Did you ever notice that there are horses or even dragons up in the sky? Well, sometimes there could even be fingers beckoning at you! I may sound a little too exaggerating but it's true, if only you would just add in a little imagination in it while looking at those wonderful clouds (smiling sheepishly).

Mother Nature is such a mysterious person, always full of surprises for us.

so happy to see you

How often do you hear such a phrase? What do you feel when hearing them - happy? Well, I did not, at that time.

The bell rang and I have packed my bag, ready to go home. Out of nowhere, A came and said, "There is no one on duty today. Could you stay back and help? I could not find anyone else. Please. It's only for a few hours, please."

Hhm, there goes my plan of the day. I'll have to miss my bus and go home late. Why of all the members in the club, I am the one who get picked? Why can't you, the president, go for the duty instead?

Of course, all these grumbles only ended up playing in my head, and I just nodded and started to drag my feet to the club room, hoping I could get off from the duty earlier.

"Ahh, you are here. So happy to see you", N said as she sensed her way with her cane and came over to hold my hand. Seeing her happy expression, I felt so ashamed and guilty of having those selfish thoughts on my way here. Then we started to get down to her work. I read to her, while she went off typing away in her braille typewriter. Once a while, she would peer closely to her book or used her fingers and touch on her words to make sure she was typing correctly.

When you are going to meet up someone, do not think of how much the trouble would be. Instead, why not think of the joy that you and your friend would have, meeting and catching up with each other. Then everything would be worthwhile.

N, I hoped that you are doing well now. May God bless you.

Qué hacer durante el fin de semana? 

Coger un libro y leer.

i'll be there for you

It stays in my heart, the phrase - I'll be there for you. It's not because of someone saying it to me, instead, it is the other way round. I had learnt a great lesson about it and it has been etched in my head ever since then.

Though I can only remember vaguely about the whole conversation that we had on that day, but I still remember your response after hearing I said "don't worry, we'll be there for you". I was earnest in saying that, at that moment, to show you that you still have your friends supporting you. But I do understand when you explained to me that no one can always be there for another person all the time, or at any time a person is in need. I guess you had been in such situation before and that explains why you had such a reaction.

But ever since then, I was careful not to say that phrase out, without thinking twice. A promise is meant to be kept, not to be broken. Although in our daily lives, we would always say out comforting word to our friends or family when they are down, do hold true to what you say. Meant what you say.

To my friend, H, wherever you are, whatever you do, all the best to you.

carefree

Some people said, there's nothing better in life than to be as carefree as a child. I agreed.

The older one gets, the more one thinks, the more complicated life seems to be.

When we are young, we do not need to think about hunger, thirst or cold. Everything is provided, everything is planned well.

Yet, we cannot deny the fact that, there are children who are born under not-so-good condition, where they need to fight for their meals, endure the harsh, cold wind at night, just to live for another day.

Life is just like Yin and Yang, there's always the other side. Just like day and night, pros and cons, left and right. Of course, there are also the 'in-betweens' for those complicated-thinking adults.

Why not, if you are one of those people having a frustated and complicated life, take a step back to see your life or problem. Maybe by seeing the problem as a child, life can be much simpler.

nota# uno

me encanta escribir en español pero mi idioma en español es limitada.

cómo aprender? :(

a penny a day

There is this phrase that says "save a penny a day" which somehow triggers me and could be rephrase as "write a line a day". I had somehow, by chance, stumble upon this interesting blog - "the one minute writer", which asked the question, "Who's got the time to journal daily? You do."

All these while, I do ponder upon why some people loved blogging that much while some practically shunned at the idea (which I was one of them). I do have friends that blog and I do go around and read through them now and then. By reading their blogs, I learnt more about their way of living, their way of thinking, etc. I love reading others' blogs, but I shudder at the thought of having mine being read by others. 

How irony! Here I am, writting in my very first post.
