Time

Sometimes...
In the midst of our lives, time loses all meaning...
Time ceases to matter, 15mins, 15 hours...
It seems to fly when we are having fun,
but when we are not, time takes pleasure in kicking our asses...
For even the strongest of us, it seems to play tricks.
Slowing down, hovering, until it freezes.
Leaving us stuck in a moment,
unable to move in one direction or the other.

One day at a time.. this is enough.
Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone,
and do not be troubled about the future,
for it has not come.
Live in the present, and make it so beautiful,
it will be worth remembering

forever...

LST...

Before I knew you,

I spent alot of time

meeting others,

I had my ups and downs,

and I learned,

With each person I met

each had different personalities,

but something was missing...

When I met you,

I wasn't planning on falling.

I wasn't planning on feeling

so attracted to someone,

but you awakened feelings

inside of me

that I'd forgotten existed.

You made me feel like a kid again...

I smile to myself

when I think of you,

and I carry a silly grin

everytime I hear your voice...

You have touched my heart

You have touched my soul

In you...

I found friendship

and I’ve found happiness…

In you
When we’re together

Or miles and miles apart

You’re with me always...

Somewhere only we know...

I walked across an empty land,
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand.
I felt the earth beneath my feet,
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

I came across a fallen tree,
I felt the branches; are they looking at me?
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh, simple things, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

So if you have a minute why don't we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,

This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know

Il Mare

The title, Il Mare, means 'The Sea' in Italian, and is the name of the seaside house which is the setting of the story. I recently re-watched this movie online again, and it's still one of the best love stories I've seen. Plus the sceneries in the movie is absolutely just perfect. It just gets me thinking if love really does transcends through time and space. Does it?

Oh well...

Anyway, been trying to get the DVD since I can remember, but to no avail, not in SIN anyway. If anyone of you knows where to get it, please do tell aye?

Maybe it's time...

Been having really shitty times the past 2 weeks in the office. Coupled with the office bureaucracy and office politics, it just makes the stay in office unbearable. I seen first hand where management ppl back stab each other the moment the other person turns around.

How do I explain it? I guess the best example I can give is... When your colleagues start to tell you, "why not we mass resign?" So right there and then, I knew... I was not the only one feeling choked, there are at least 5 others. The noose the people up there have on us keeps getting tighter and tighter, we have no free reigns, no free play. In a job like ours, it's strangling. We can't get things done, we can't get things moving.

I realised I get easily frustrated at work now... My colleagues are starting to tell me I wear a frown to work every single day. I snap at the slightest mistake, I bark at the slightest error. What is happening to me?

Maybe it's time to move on, greener pastures as they say... but I'll be doing a great dis-service to my boss if I do that. I guess... I'll stay and finish this current project, thus honouring my word.. Mens Honour. I seriously don't know how long I can hold out. Well, if a better offer comes along... We'll see... Until then...

Truth be told?

I recently asked a bud of mine, "How? Just tell me the truth? What do you think?". She replied nonchalantly, "Do you really want the truth? Can you handle it? Or do you just wanna hear a lie?". I've known her for about 10 years. And she has never failed to sugar coat my problems and solutions for me, cept this time...

People think they want the truth. But do they really? Did I really want the truth? Or was I just hoping for her to say something I wanted to hear? We give friends advice, solutions, and most of the time, our undivided attention. But, by far, the hardest thing you can give a friend, is the truth. The truth is hard. The truth is awkward and very often the truth hurts.

Maybe I've been addicted to sugar coated advice for too long. And the thing about addictions is, it never really ends well. Cos eventually, whatever that was feeding this high, stops feeling good, starts to hurt. I had expected the usual dose of coatings, but...

The truth is painful. Deep down, nobody wants to hear it, especially when it hits close to home. Sometimes we tell the truth because the truth is all we have to give. Sometimes we tell the truth because we need to say it out loud to hear it for ourselves. And sometimes we tell the truth because we just can't help ourselves. Sometimes, we tell them because we owe them at least that much. And sometimes, we tell the truth because we are friends, and if we don't, who will?
