My Soul Mate

The one thing I'm sure about,
Is how I feel about you in my heart,
For several years we have been stout,
Even when we have been apart.

Something happened or something changed,
I gave you reason to turn away,
Of this I'm sure that I must be deranged,
To let the most beautiful flower turn and fray.

My heart is empty because we're apart,
I have just one wish,
That you take my heart,
I know our love would be a swish.

I know that I have hurt you much,
And hurt our love in such a way,
A love that I thought none could touch,
Yet I can't believe we can not stay.

We brought together two of the same parts,
In such a very special way,
As I remember the time we've spent sharing our hearts,
It hurts so much this last time I replay.

I try to think of only the good time we played,
Then I see the last bad day,
My heart hurts so much when I see what we've made,
We cant let our special love go - I say nay.

Rarely do two people find a soul mate,
One to share everything with,
The good and the bad are just some bait,
It is the hard core essence which to most is a myth.

You are the love of my life my thoughts and my dreams,
From morning to night,
All I can think about is how good it seems,
If you can find it in your heart to love me - it's right.

I lay awake all night lying in bed,
Recanting all of the time we have been in love,
So many things swim in my head,
Yet all I can wish for is you, my perfect fit, my glove.

I have tears in my eyes,
I want to lay down with my strife,
I don't know how I can survive,
Without you as the love of my life.

Please give me just one more chance,
To prove to you how good our love can be,
I feel so strongly I must take a stance,
We were meant for each other - that is my plea.

Please here my cry and need for your heart,
When we are together I am happy as can be,
I can't stand to live another day apart,
When we are so close and I am madly in love with thee.

Everyday I Love You

Rarely do two people find a soul mate,

One to share everything with, 

The good and the bad are just some bait, 

It is the hard core essence which to most is a myth.

EVERYDAY I LOVE YOU - Boyzone

I don't know, but I believe

That some things are meant to be

And that you'll make a better me

Everyday I love you

I never thought that dreams came true

But you showed me that they do

You know that I learn something new

Everyday I love you

'Cos I believe that destiny

Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)

And you'll never live until you love

With all your heart and soul.

It's a touch when I feel bad

It's a smile when I get mad

All the little things I am

Everyday I love you

Everyday I love you more

Everyday I love you

'Cos I believe that destiny

Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)

And you'll never live until you love

With all your heart and soul

If I asked would you say yes?

Together we're the very best

I know that I am truly blessed

Everyday I love you

And I'll give you my best

Everyday I love you

When You Believe

There are two ways to live: to live as if nothing is a miracle or to live as if everything is a miracle.

The miracle of the seed and the soil is not available by affirmation but is only available by labor.

I have found in life that if we want a miracle we first need to do whatever it is we can do - if that's to plant, then plant it; if it is to read, then read it; if it is to change, then change it; if it is to study, then study; if it is to work, then work; whatever we have to do. And then we will be well on our way of doing the labor that works miracles.

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.

WHEN YOU BELIEVE - Mariah Carey & Whithney Houston

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could

Chorus:
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will, (Now you will (3rd Chorus through))
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

Chorus

So in times when all your hope is gone
And you go through life afraid
In your heart there lies a hopeful song
That is there to guide the way
And all the hurt and all the pain
You soon will learn was not in vain
For all your prayers, they will be heard
They'll come to pass through faith

Chorus

世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ

Socrates in Love, also known as Crying Out Love, In the Center of the World (世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ Sekai no Chūshin de, Ai o Sakebu) is a Japanese best selling novel written by Kyoichi Katayama which was published by Shogakukan in April 2001 and aired on August 26, 2006 in Japan.

A seventeen year old Sakutaro Matsumoto stands on the red earth of Australia (Ayers Rock, so called the center of the world) under its blue sky. The colored sand runs through his hands and a tear appears on his cheek. An enduring devotion and heartbreaking loss of the love of his life, Aki Hirose, to leukemia. No matter how hard he cried out for her and she will never ever come back again.

Time flies, it's 2004 and he has been living in a world trudges through everyday existence without her for seventeen years, as if half of him died with her since then. One day, the last tape of Aki's audio diary  suddenly unearthed, leading him returning to his  hometown in the south to see his old high school for the last time before it's demolished and where he first met Aki.

A bittersweet tale of young love story unfold through his memories ... ...

“It’s not the parting or the absence that’s sad.

You love them, and that’s why saying good-bye breaks your heart.” - Kyoichi Katayama

世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ

(在世界中心呼喚愛 - Crying Out Love In The Centre Of The World)

朔と亜紀

I can tell by the tears that my heart's in a crush

And it's just as I feared – that it never will hush

If it wasn't to be then why can't I break free?

If the truth wasn't spoken – why was I so broken?

I don't live without you – I still think about you

And I can't live with you – with this negative view

And I know exactly where it all went wrong

For my love for you was… far, far too strong

My love was so strong that it had to go wrong

And then I took a road that became far too long

And I can tell by the tears, I'm a fool to remember

But I know by the years that I can never surrender

First Love

Got to know the song from watching the Japan romance drama series - Majo no Jōken (魔女の条件) ("Terms of a Witch") of 11 episodes which released in Year 1999.

In the show, Matsushima Nanako plays Hirose Michi, a 26 year old young and pretty high school math teacher, who is engaged to a middle-class office worker, uncertain of her love for her fiance but feeling pressure from her father being a man of a great stature and influence in society to do what is expected of her.

Kurosawa Hikaru who cast by Takizawa Hideaki, a 17 year old boy frustrated by his home life with his single mother and having been expelled from many high schools for bad behavior and enters Michi's class as a new transfer student.

Michi, being young and idealistic, tries to be the good teacher and makes it her aim to reform Hikaru. As the story progress, they realize that they both equally scornful of the constraints of society and eventually, their relationship grows with this common bond that draws them close. What follows is a heart-wrenching story of forbidden love where Michi must face society's judgement for corrupting a minor, abandoning her fiance and disappointing her parents and co-workers. Things become even more complicated when Michi soon discovers she is carrying Hikaru’s child ... ...

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,

while loving someone deeply gives you courage. - Lao Tzu

新年快乐 2010

新舂佳节! 祝大家新年快乐，万事如意，心想事成，步步高胜！

我願意

思念是一种很玄的东西，如影 ~ 随形。
思念是有距离的。没有距离，便没有思念。
如果是空间的距离，那思念便是甜蜜的，甜蜜的流著泪。
如果是心灵的距离，那思念便是苦涩的，苦涩的流著泪。

我願意 - 王菲（王靖雯）

思念是一種很玄的東西 如影~隨行
無聲又無息出沒在心底
轉眼~吞沒我在寂寞裡
我無力抗拒 特別是夜裡
哦~想你到無法呼吸
恨不能立即 朝你狂奔去
大聲的告訴你

我願意為你 我願意為你
我願意為你 忘記我姓名
就算多一秒 停留在你懷裡
失去世界也不可惜

我願意為你 我願意為你
我願意為你 被放逐天際
只要你真心 拿愛與我回應
(我) 什麼都願意
什麼都願意 為你

Por Una Cabeza

"Por una cabeza", meaning "by a head of a horse" in Spanish, is a popular tango song composed in 1935 by Carlos Gardel and Alfredo Le Pera. Gardel was the composer and Le Pera the lyricist.

The lyrics of the song talk about a compulsive horse-track gambler who compares his addiction for the horses with his attraction to women.

It has been performed by numerous tango orchestras and is commonly featured in films and television.

When I Fall In Love

WHEN I FALL IN LOVE - Celine Dion & Clive Griffin

When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love

In a restless world
Like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many
Moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart
I give it completely
Or I'll never give my heart

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

When I Fall In Love was featured in the romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle which released on June 1993. Based on a story by Jeff Arch, it stars Tom Hanks as Sam Baldwin and Meg Ryan as Annie Reed.

Only Love

True love does not come by finding the perfect person but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly! Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

Hearts are broken for words not spoken, so always said what you feel ... ... What we do today is important because we are exchanging a whole day of our life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; and in its place will be something that we had left behind... ... let it be something good.

Happy Valentines Day and God blessed us everyone!

ONLY LOVE - Nana Mouskouri

Only love can make a memory
Only love can make a moment last
You were there
And all the world was young
And all its songs unsung
And I remember you then
When love was all
All you were living for
And how you gave that love to me

Only then I felt my heart was free
I was part of you and you were all of me
Warm were the days and the nights of those years
Painted in colors to outshine the sun
All of the words and the dreams and the tears
Live in my remembrance

Only love can make a memory
Only love can make that moment last
Life was new
There was a rage to live
Each day a page to live
And I remember you then
When love was all
All you were living for
And how you gave that love to me

Only then I knew my heart was free
I was part of you and you were all of me

Who Moved My Cheese

Today, our company has a Town Hall Meeting in NUSS, The Graduate Club located at Suntec City. Our CEO, Mike Bandy has brought up a book - "Who Moved My Cheese?" an amazing way to deal with change in our work and in our life. It invites individuals and organizations to enjoy less stress and more success by learning to deal with the inevitable change in a modern day insight.

"Who Moved My Cheese?" is a motivational book written by Dr. Spencer Johnson published in 1998, the story of four characters living in a "Maze" who face unexpected change when they discover their "Cheese" has disappeared. Sniff and Scurry, who are mice, and Hem and Haw, little people the size of mice, each adapt to change in their "Maze" differently. In fact, one doesn't adapt at all ... ...

This timeless allegory reveals profound truths to individuals and organizations dealing with change. We each live in a "Maze", a metaphor for the companies or organizations we work with, the communities we live in, the families we love places where we look for the things we want in life, "Cheese". It may be an enjoyable career, loving relationships, wealth, or spiritual peace of mind. With time and experience, one character eventually succeeds and even prospers from the change in his "Maze".In an effort to share what he has learned along the way, he records his personal discoveries on the maze walls, the "Handwriting on the Wall". Likewise, when we begin to see the "writing on the wall", we discover the simplicity and necessity of adapting to change.

"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another."

"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. Change always comes bearing gifts. If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies."

Here's a quick view and hope you enjoy it:

Who Moved My Cheese

God bless!

Forgiveness

Although forgiveness is very hard, it is necessary. Holding onto anger and old hurts hardens our heart and hurts only us. Ask for help in letting go of the anger. Ask to see the situation through the eyes of compassion. Allow ourselves to feel the lightness of forgiveness.

God bless!

Sad Love Story

A twenty episodes South Korean romantic drama - Sad Love Story romanized as Seulpeun Yeonga (슬픈연가) and also known as Sad Sonata (its literal translation and the alternate official title) which ran from 05 January to 17 March, 2005.

Sad Sonata is a love story about two men and one woman. The young Joon-young (Kwon Sang Woo), who was raised by his mother who sold liquor to American soldiers (who being despised as his mother owns a nightclub), met the blind beautiful Hae-in (Kim Hee Sun) and they became childhood sweethearts. Young and naive, they believe that nothing can change their love. Life, however, pulls them in opposite directions. After some years, Hae-in immigrated to the U.S. following her aunt and her uncle (American soldier that married her aunt). There she met Gun-woo (Yeon Jung Hoon), who was Joon-young's best friend and son of a very rich man. After she received a letter from Hwa-jung misleading saying that Joon-young is dead, Hye-in struggles to begin a new life alone and later she accepted Gun-woo's love. After an successful operation, Hae-in was able to see again . The story picks up again when composer Joon-young, singer Hae-In, and music producer Gun-woo all meet again, Joon-young instantly recognizes Hae-In but Hae-in doesn't recognize Joon-young because she has never seen Jun Yeong before and despite, he has changed his name to Jun-Kyu.

Is an aptly titled romantic drama about the tragic love triangle between aspiring musician Joon-young, his blind girlfriend, Hae-in and his best friend, Gun-woo. Personally, it was one of the best Korean drama that I have ever seen which I enjoyed it immensely.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishing. If you have love in your life it can make up for a great many things you lack. If you don't have it, no matter what else there is, it's not enough. Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.

"Hold it true, whatever be fall; Feel it, when sorrow the most;

Is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

I Finally Found Someone

I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE - Barbara Streisand & Bryan Adams

I finally found someone, who knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one who makes me feel complete
It started over coffee, we started out as friends
Its funny how from simple things, the best things begin

This time is different (la, la, la, la)
Its all because of you (la, la, la, la)
Its better than it's ever been
Cuz we can talk it through
My favorite line was can I call you sometime?
Its all you had to say
To take my breath away

This is it
Oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one to be with every night
Cause whatever I do
Its just got to be you
My life has just begun, I finally found someone

Ooh, someone
I finally found someone
Ooh

Did I keep you waiting (I didn't mind)
I apologize (baby, that's fine)
I would wait forever
Just to know you were mine
Ya know, I love your hair
(are you sure it looks right? )
I love what you wear
(isnt it too tight)
Youre exceptional
I can't wait for the rest of my life

Oh, this is it
Oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one to be with every night
Cause whatever I do
Its just got to be you
(oh, yeah)
My life has just begun
I finally found someone
And whatever I do
Its just got to be you
Ooh, my life has just begun
I finally found someone

Up

UP is a 2009 American computer-animated comedy-drama, adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Pete Docter and co-directed by Bob Peterson which released in August 2009.

The story started with a young Carl Fredrickson working as a toy-balloon vendor meets a young adventure spirited girl named Ellie. They become closed friends and married, both dream of going to a Lost Land in South America. They promise each other that they would travel together to Paradise Falls and build a house there. Many years later, Ellie has died of old age before they can take their trip. Carl who's lonely and remembers the promise he made to her. Then, when he inadvertently hits a construction worker, he is forced to go to a retirement home. But before they can take him, he and his house fly away by tying thousands of balloons to float his house and en-route to his dream adventure.

Right after lifting off, however, he learns he isn't alone on his journey, a wilderness explorer seventy years his junior, an eight years old boy named Russell, whose trying to get an assisting the elderly badge has inadvertently become a stowaway on the trip and Carl sees no other choice but to bring the boy with him. Together, they embark in an adventure, where they encounter talking dogs, an evil villain and a rare bird named Kevin.

For the first ten to fifteen minutes of watching the film, it moved me so beautifully as it tells the story of the wonderful life that Carl and his wife Ellie share together till they old. Carl being a lovable character, you can feel the joy that he feels and his loss when his wife passes away. Despite, each and every character in the film provides their own bit of humor, the fun and charming story between Carl and Russell and a tale of a man who never experienced what he wanted the most in life. Carl might seems to be a fairly mean old man but the film spends a great deal of time to develop him into an emotional wreck of a man. Personally, I felt easily being emotionally impactful of the entire film.

"Each morning the day lies like a fresh shirt on our bed; this incomparably fine, incomparably tightly woven tissue of pure prediction fits us perfectly. The happiness of the next twenty-four hours depends on our ability, on waking, to pick it up."

"Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little course, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble."

God bless!

I Have Nothing

Being in love, it makes us so vulnerable. It opens our chest and opens up our heart to allow someone get inside us and mess us up. We build up all defenses, build up a whole suit of armor so that nothing can hurt us but love takes hostages. It gets inside of us and leaves us crying in the darkness ... ... It hurts. Not just in the imagination, not just in the mind but it's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain ... ...

The truth may hurt for a little while but a lie hurts forever ... ...

"Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you have never been hurt before. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth."

I HAVE NOTHING - Whitney Houston

Share my life, take me for what I am
Coz I'll never change all my colors for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do

I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide

Well, don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you, you, you...

You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love mmmmm...
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to

I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
I Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Your love I'll remember, forever

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing...

Well,don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me no...
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you
ooohhh, ooooh
if i don't have you, oohh...

I Will Always Love You

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU - Whitney Houston

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way

And I... will always love you, oohh
Will always love you
You my darling you
Mmm-mm

Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So good-bye please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you you need

And I... will always love you
I... will always love you
You, ooh

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love

And I... will always love you
I... will always love you

I, I will always love you....
You darling I love you
I'll always
I'll always
Love you..
Oooh
Ooohhh

All By Myself

"All By Myself" was recorded by Celine Dion in 1996, the fourth hit single from her album Falling Into You.

ALL BY MYSELF - Celine Dion

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore

When I was young
I never needed anyone
Making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Oh
Don't wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don't wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone
