It's a damn cold night...

Forgiving is love's toughest work, and love's biggest risk. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.
いつか失ってしまうのかな。薄れてゆく笑顔と君を守りたい。

If fate is a wheel, then we are the sand that is crushed between the cogs.

Don't judge a life by one difficult season.

独自并不代表孤单,在一群人中狂笑着有时更寂寞。

At times it may not even seem rational, but the heart has a computing ability that is far more accurate and far more precise than anything within the limits of rational thought.
-- Deepak Chopra
于是我让孤独更孤独,有一种不是悲伤的悲伤,才是刻骨铭心的悲伤。
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.
-- St Francis.
People's actions are influenced by their expectations. People respond not just to what is happening now, but to what they anticipate will happen in the future.

不管你会不会忘了我,我只想告诉你一个秘密。

Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind.

The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death but when I stand in front of you yet you don't know that I love you.
-- Tagore
Do do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.

まだ不器用に笑うね まだ悲しみが似合うから
キミに降る痛みを 拭ってあげたい すべて I for you

the optimistic pessimist

supposedly an adult, she thinks like an adult (too much, if you ask me). deep inside, she is nothing but a little girl, with her little lofty dreams and ideals. and oops, she is breaking them, one by one.
more often than not, she is just an angsty emo kid.

she is only but
a passer-by,

an onlooker,
a walking shadow.

and this girl can't stop writing.

After all, what is in the past but what we choose to remember? They can choose not to hide it, to take what's broken, to feel the pain and know that it will heal. They know where happiness lies, not in a cave or a country, but in love and the freedom to give and take what has been there all along.

Others desire to experience the blessedness of giving, but we often frustrate them by refusing their help.

 Memories were also a way of looking in a mirror, but it was a jagged mirror of broken glass, one that cast imperfect reflections. Like shards, these memories drew blood.

Responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for your situation, including yourself... Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.

I don't know, I don't know. Sometimes I feel like I'm a pair of eyes and ears, and I'm just trying to stay safe and make sense of what's happening. I know what to avoid, what to worry about.I'm like those kids who live with gunfire going off around them. I don't want pain. I don't want to die. I don't want to see other people around me die. But I don't have anything left inside me to figure out where I fit in or what I want. If I want anything, it's to know what's possible to want.

今天回家本是件很开心的事。很好玩,但也学了很多。只是回到家不久后,妈说了句很奇怪的话,接下来的对话也很怪。
“其实,家里出事了。”
“什么事?”
“很大件事。”
“什么事?”
“你要有心理准备,是很大的事。”
“什么事?”
“很大,还出报纸了,还是头条。”
“我有读报纸也有看新闻,为什么没有看到?”
“是马来西亚的报纸。”
“什么事?”
“家里有个人没有了。”
(傻住)
“你看你认得出是谁吗。”

妈把报纸递过来,看了标题,瞄了照片。跪在地上手遮着脸的背影,我当然认得。是二舅。
表弟不过十五岁。他不算是个乖孩子,常常不留口德,但是二舅的孩子没有一个是坏心眼儿的。他们都是很纯朴善良的乡下孩子。考完试,因为下雨不想打工,和朋友到海边戏水。听起来很正常,但是悲剧就这样发生了。
妈一直没有让我知道,因为我在工作。她接到消息的时候自己在家,觉得很无助,最后回家念经、参加葬礼。
白发人送黑发人,大概是世界上最痛苦的事之一。二舅刚好从事殡葬业,自己亲手送自己的儿子,替他清洗干净、换衣,到一半又崩溃,只得找人继续,想了都心痛。表弟的二哥围着棺木绕,哭个没完,说以后没有人帮他补习,没有教练教他打球。阿公独自坐在厨房,声音没有出一点,只是嘴巴一直颤抖着,眼泪不停地掉。阿嫲哭完了一遍又到棺木前哭,哭了一遍又一遍,让子女们很担心。听到这里心都揪起来了。
葬礼一共有三百多人参加,因为二舅人缘好,又热心助人,阿公阿嫲也很多人认识。大家白金都给的不少,很多同学也都来了。有一组原本凑钱要一起和表弟BBQ,现在也把钱拿来当白金,白金簿写着“兄弟”。写“兄弟”的还不止这组人,还有多两组,可见表弟人缘也不赖。椅子完全不够,食物也不够吃,汽车多得排到了很远的距离,别人想驾车进村回家都没办法。到最后,灵车没有人坐,分三批人轮流把棺木抬到村口的教堂,大家也都跟在后面走着。
大家还一直问说为什么我又缺席。很惭愧,家里的红白事我好像都一直缺席。我真的很抱歉。表弟,姐没有为你做过什么,现在只能说一句,一路好走。

listened to this song quite some time back. think it's my.. 2nd best liked song in the album? 很有味道的一首台语歌。简简单单的,其实歌词也很简单,却有着简简单单的感动。意境很美!
这是个爱情守护者的自白
用一个最不需要修饰的语言
希望你听见……


then i saw the mandarin version that was just released. apparently he wrote the chinese lyrics first then changed it on the spot in the studio into taiwanese.
ahhh can't stand it! bloody good lyrics!! 最后一句,把我彻底地杀了。


《无眠》- 苏打绿

今夜的月光超載太重 
照著我一夜哄不成夢 
每根頭髮都失眠

天空他究竟在思念誰 
是不是都和我一樣
揮不去昨日甜美的細節 
才讓今天又淪陷

你現在想著誰 
有沒有和我相同的感覺
固執等著誰 
卻驚覺已無法倒退

曾經想一起飛 
在自己心中蓋了座花園
把你的一切 
都種在這個地點
卻是魚 守在裡面

不管要多少時間
多少眼淚多少落空來等待 
不管你是不是會回來

其實我也不明白 
為什麼如此傻傻地期盼 
你是我僅有的愛

你現在想著誰 
有沒有和我相同的感覺
固執等著誰 
卻驚覺已無法倒退

曾經想一起飛 
在自己心中蓋了座花園
把你的一切 
都種在這個地點
像條魚 守在裡面 
守著幻影 葬在裡面

last night, sum asked abt the resurrection, the life after death, and how to be sure it exists. i gave him whatever i had with the limited knowledge i have. to the last qn i only had one word, which was faith. and he was saying how he thinks service is wonderful cos it always seems to coincide with his situation.
then, i went to church today and the mass and homily today was abt?
resurrection.
