Which pill? Bitter truth or sweet lies?


A good disposition hardly feasible with the current state of affairs. Poignantly hurtful, and the question is, who brought it upon whom?

There's no answering a question that is impossible to compare in equity. The comprehension of its meaning requires a basic consensus on the grounds which to draw comparison. That is sorely lacking under present circumstances, and the situation does not seem inclined to change in the near future.

Understanding is paramount, and communication is vital. Surely, there must exist channels that can establish such a crucial connection. One may speak Greek to a Chinese, and still, it is no paradox to say that it is possible for mutual understanding.

That being said, won't it be imperative for one to examine the state of affairs in order to gain an insight into the reality and gravity of it all?

And why? Because I don't want you to end up a fool. Who can be there for eternity? No one. If I can't trust you enough to let you make decisions, trust you to take care of yourself, how can I trust you with anything?

Flipping the papers


After months of inaction, the urge to read the newspaper got the better of me, and to my surprise, Bashir has been acquitted of his charges. Not that it is of significance, if he was indeed a key player in the game of terrorism, his stay in jail has not dealt any great blow to their operations.

The Six-Party talks have apparently lasted much longer than I anticipated, those today's news says it's on the verge of failure.

In local news, several areas experienced blackouts, the culprit being a cut in the gas supply to the Senoko Power station. Flash floods occurring around the nation, courtesy of the incessant rain of late.

And what do you know? Christmas is imminent.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Could someone tell me what's with the japanese text going missing?



流れる季節の真ん中で
ふと日の長さを感じます
せわしく過ぎる日々の中に
私とあなたで夢を描
3月の風に想いをのせて
桜のつぼみは春へとつづきます
溢れ出す光の粒が
少しずつ朝を暖めます
大きなあくびをした後に
少し照れてるあなたの横で
新たな世界の入口に立ち
気づいたことは 1人じゃないってこと

※瞳を閉じれば あなたが
まぶたのうらに いることで
どれほど強くなれたでしょう
あなたにとって私も そうでありたい※

砂ぼこり運ぶ つむじ風
洗濯物に絡まりますが
昼前の空の白い月は
なんだかきれいで 見とれました

上手くはいかぬこともあるけれど
天を仰げば それさえ小さくて

青い空は凛と澄んで
羊雲は静かに揺れる
花咲くを待つ喜びを
分かち合えるのであれば それは幸せ

この先も 隣で そっと微笑んで

(※くり返し)

Sangatsu kokonoka, translated, it simply is "the 9th of March". I am left wondering the significance of the date. This song was used in the drama serial, 1 litre of tears, and sounds like a love song. That's the beauty of imagination, it accomodates the mssing pieces to produce a complete picture that is quite beautiful.

When you are able to barely comprehend a few words in the song, you let your mind tell you the meaning through the music and the feel of it, and this song feels good.

Everything in this world can be interpretted in different ways, and how beautiful the interpretation is solely dependent upon your mind. Open minds often find it easier to see the beauty in the ugliest of messes, and a closed mind that can only see the worst in a pretty picture.

It's choice


A poem/song composed by Shermy

心がキズついて
痛みもこらえきれず
君がキズついて
あとで僕の肩に泣く

いつから
心配を囁いてあげる
何故いつも
全部は聞こえなかった

このズルイ世界中
一人だけが守りたいの僕
翼をあげたいところで
ことわって君が行っちゃった
この悪い世界中
単純の君だけ理解もなく
翼が壊れたときに
闇が囲んでなにもできない

霜が目を覆って
もう君の影が見えず
届ける気持ち
粉雪に失われる

いつから
心配を囁いてあげる
何故いつも
全部あは聞こえなかった

このズルイ世界中
一人だけが守りたいの僕
翼をあげたいところで
ことわって君が行っちゃった
この悪い世界中
単純の君だけ理解もなく
翼が壊れたときに
闇が囲んでなにもできない

She can lose out on something good if she wants, it's her choice. =)

I often forget


Between what works and what feels right, which would you choose? A complex quandary, for if one does not feel good, one can't do well, conversely, if one doesn't do well, one can hardly feel good.

What if what works feels good, but not right?

Confusing.

It is, after all, a question of what one wants.

There are also bruises and wounds that afflict one. Perhaps a little time for healing is in order to set things straight. Let everything work out on its own and then see if there is a difference.

Impatience compounded with a compulsion to achieve is a stumbling block to becoming a better person. If everyone around is a foe, then when will one feel at ease. We need to let other people shine some time, maybe our strength lies in allowing other people to shine. That's what leaders do, don't they?

So, if trying in one pursuit to achieve it all, individual, how can one hope to serve as a good leader? Just like courtship, if one were to pull all the stops to get the lady to notice only oneself, then one would have neglected everyone else around. If one were a leader, one would be guilty of letting down his colleagues.

Comrades, I hope I have not let you down. I often forget that my duty is to be a responsible person FIRST and anything else SECOND.

Exams concluded


The exams are over, and it's time for much needed, if not well-deserved time. One hopes it would be time that could be ell-soent.

First order of business is to catch up with reading. I have neglected all my dear books . Of course,by books, I, by no means refer to any textbooks. Pride and Prejudice, Sense ans Sensibility, The Great Gatsby, The Oscar Wild Compendium and Oliver Twist.

Of course, friends to catch up with and movies to catch.

And it is about time I caught up with the events of the world. As oblivious as a rock hurtling down the cliff. At times, I find it hard to convince myself otherwise.
