Listen (June 30, 2007)

I am so fascinated with people who can really sing and the movie Dreamgirls is one of the best I have seen and "heard" so far. I have the soundtrack and listens to the songs thru my MP3. The best song for me is the one sang by Beyonce, "Listen".

We need to listen to our heart even if some circumstances prove to be very difficult to avoid. It is in listening to our hearts that we truly become happier.
Here is the chorus part:

Listen,
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home, in my own home
And I tried and tried
To say what’s on my mind
You should have known
Oh,
Now I'm done believin you
You don't know what
I'm feelin
I'm more than what, you made of me
I followed the voice
you gave to me
But now I gotta find, my own..

A Metaphor (June 29, 2007)

T'was a big rain yesterday with strong winds. One of the small trees I have at the back of my house toppled down from its pot, breaking branches and smaller plants around it. I assessed the damage this morning and found that most of the smaller plants had succumbed to the weight of the big plant. Though looking weary, the plants were all alive.

In the real world, the so called "biggies" always win. The one that has the more brain power, more persuasive remarks, more glamorous friends, more money and more strength. What's left of the "small" ones is the challenge to live- to struggle, to fight.

But the great thing about being "small" is the fighting spirit to make it in this world. Never give up, always fight!

Branching Out (June 27, 2007)

We always say to ourselves and to our friends that we have so many things to do but so little time. This is true when one is overwhelmed with work and cannot find time to stop and look around. With time-management, we can actually do the things we like to do and I will be doing that starting now. I mean I have to put my efforts into many things like I used to. I used to play the piano. I used to paint sceneries and animals. I used to listen to classical music. I used to act in stage plays. I used to read novels.

It is time. I have wasted so many so I need to start anew. With just one life, I should not be wasting it. I should do things that will make me happy. It is time to branch out, still do the things I like and learn something new.
