Soon as I finished writing the two posts below, The Greatest He opened the door and he stood right there, staring at me.

“What the hell?!”

I was grinning.

“Hmm, so you know the answer now?”

I nodded cheerfully.

“What took you so long to realize it? Why did you have to draw those signs too clearly?”

I shrugged.

“You know I was mad at you. I was upset. I was annoyed and unsecured. And… you were just being not you.” He stopped to cynically sigh, “And today, you change the pace too fast. That’s harsh.”

I sighed, “in the beginning, I wrote: the more I am pushed, the more I am pulling away because I’m selfish and I’m unkind. Doesn’t it suppose to be a clue?”

He sighed again, only a little bit heavier this time.
“Some things are never changed. Well anyway, I’m taking nothing but you, as always.”

I smiled. He smiled.

I guess there will be much more fun ‘insomnia days’ to spend with.
I’m super excited for this.

Hmm, should we start stacking bags of coffee, like from now?
Can’t wait!

Cheers!!!!
*muah*

Guards of Mice

If you ever need assistance
I will always be by your side
It only takes two to make it happen
Oh take these words in advance

There's always reasons and place to be
Please praise and face weather
Life isn't easy to race away
Please contain your actions
Light the sky with peace
And you'll find some answers
'Cause these are the words to make it happen
Make it happen
and face your ghosts

If you ever meet resistance
I will always be by your side
You'll always know how to make it happen
Oh take these words in advance

There's always reasons and place to be
Please praise and face weather
Life isn't easy to race away
Please contain your actions
Light the sky with peace
And you'll find some answers

'Cause these are the words to make it happen
Make it happen
and face your ghosts

Face your ghosts
Face your ghosts
Face your ghosts
Face your ghosts

Oh take these words in advance

Despite of the ‘bright day’ today, somehow I’m not feeling okay by the end of it.
Maybe this is due to lack of sleeping the day before? I only had like less than 2 hours sleeping and I think that affects a little.

So I put this song on the player and let it played for quite some times, over and over. Wishing this song would remind me that I should face my own ghosts to conquer my own fears. That way, I can move on and leave the past behind. As in my story today, I shall be able to leave my ‘sickness’ behind and welcoming the evening sky.
Hmm, really hope for those twinkling stars will befriend me as I walking the pathway.

A bit about this song, first time I read the title, before I pushed the ‘play’ button, I had a thought, “Guards of mice? What is it? It’s kind of a soundtrack for the book ‘of mice and man’ by John Steinbeck?”
So when it’s the song turn to play, I listened to it carefully and somehow, it does seem like that, haha… thou I bet it’s nothing like that.

Like the song.
[eerr, come again, which of MONORAL’ I don’t like?? hihi]

Cheers!!
[oo well, I think I'll rest my bones a little earlier tonight. but!! will this Brian do the same? *sigh*]

Weird Kind Of Swings

If all my make up
And all that comes with it
Was washed away
And now I fear
Those weird kind of swings

If all that you're made of
And all that goes with it
Keeps reminding me
Annoying me

I'm afraid of the words
That slaps again
Waiting for the pain
No really I'm off the frame
I'm aware and heading there again
Of course we got plans
I'll kick ass all the same
Well I could've been in this
Weird kind of swings

Why all the fuss
It wears me out of luck
Lighting up my seeds
Where should I lounge?
The choice is yours
Am I too close
Count me in your feast

Sidenote:

It’s 3:19 AM and still he won’t talk to me.
He still keeps his silent mode on.
Hates something that he won’t tell me what it is.
Or maybe I know what makes him acting like that, but I keep ignoring that and he hates me for doing such thing. I know that this thing makes him irritated and unsecured. But I keep on ignoring it, pretending that it won’t annoy him.

I think I was wrong.
Damn!

First time in my life he’s doing such thing *sigh*

So I just put that song here.
The song he adores a lot.
Hope to cheer him up, but I’m afraid it won’t do much, though he’ll chew it anyway.

*sigh again*
“I’m sorry for I putting that kind of mask instead of the kind I would usually have. Sorry for I becoming someone else, someone you hate the most.”

Gosh!
I miss you.

Cheers?


(again, a personal life. damn sorry.but hey, at least you can copy the lyrics above and ignore the sidenote^^V)

Side note – Being Confused in Japanengrish

While writing the post below, I was also checking out the band MONORAL’ blog which had been already updated for 3 days in a row (which I bet it won’t be too long until they give up writing it DAILY, hahaha!!!).
It’s a good thing thou, so the fans know the latest thing about MONORAL and I think that make the fans feel connected to them.

Anyway, what I hate the most and sadly I’ve no idea where I should ask for it (again) is the fact that they wrote it in JAPANESE. God! I’m not good at it and hell, just learn it, so practically I have no idea what they are writing about. Thank goodness they put pictures on it, but thou pictures say with sights what we can’t say with words, sometimes pictures can also lead you to a wrong side.
And that google translation, OMG! that can only make my brain twisted in a Japanengrish words even more and I’ve no clue at all what to do with those words. They look pretty puzzled to me!

Well, of course the fact that MONORAL keep updating the blog daily has fascinated me and yes that is something I could not ask for more. So I think I’ll just happily let my brain twisted in puzzle-ness of Japanengrish. Thou that make my comment there sound stupid (I don’t know, but I feel my comment is so silly there)

*sighing*
Ooh well, I’m happy they’re updating it anyway and thankful for that ANYWAY
(thou it might be nicer if they would slip in some English like they used to do back then)

ooh boy, what the heck am I talking about here?!
Cheers!!!

And to MONORAL, keep blogging!
[Hell! I’m saying that as if they’d actually read my blog.
Silly! Keep dreaming, Ken!!!]

ps:
like to visit MONORAL' blog? then click here but make sure that if you don't know anything about Japanese, tool yourself with a good translation site or software (if you're not too lazy to install it), or don't bother if you just want to enjoy the pics *big grin*

VAMPS – EVANESCENT PV (new video of new single)

Checking out the facebook page of VAMPS and suddenly the status said: “wishes fans would check out EVANESCENT PV”

WHAAATTT?!?!
I started wondering “a NEW PV?!?! Why didn’t I get the notification from Vamprose Channel?”

So I searched for it on YouTube and bam!!!
This is the video…




Credit to hydeaddict666 who posted this to YouTube


I’m kind of wondering (again) “why on earth VAMPROSE Channel wasn’t the first to launch it and instead a fan did it?” (Is it because J is on the road with MONORAL and no one actually cares enough to post it on YouTube channel? Hmm…. *shrugging*)


Anyway…
I think this song is a bit popish and reminds me to Time Goes By (another VAMPS single), probably KAZ was the one who composed it? And the video resembles to Laruku’s Hitomi no Juunin (at least some part and it's in black and white).
But I like the ticking clock in the beginning of the PV.
I supposed this is a sad song. I haven’t found the lyrics and I don’t know Japanese that much so I can’t tell what the song is all about, but seeing how Hyde sings it and the scenes of the PV, I think it’s not a happy ending song. Probably about losing someone and still memorizing her and the fact that she still alive within him for… ever (?) but he still has to manage to move on.
This is my first time listening to this song, so I can not tell whether I click to it just yet, but I’m sure I’m gonna like it a lot. I think this is better than Trouble, haha… that song indeed is a dope, but I think it is only better on stage, to amuse fan’s desire for fan service I supposed.

Yea… it resembles to Time Goes By as I listened to it couples of times while writing this. Can be my next favy I bet.

And… the album is going to be released. 13 tracks plus DVD (for the limited edition) and if I’m not mistaken, it will be tagged for…. 3500¥ from CDJAPAN (hmm…. I think I’ll dig my savings to purchase it and YES I have to SHIP it…. good ~,~")

Cheers!!
And please do enjoy the beauty of Hydeness… (he looks old here, although he IS old anyway *grinning*)

Art of traveling: LOST

And by saying LOST, I mean in both way: in translation and in direction

Those two are what you’ll get when you’re roaming a new place from corner to corner and before you start wandering, you’d told your brain to take a fully vacation and let your feet do the thinking. Just let your feet decide what to do and where to go. And to add here, the map, as your second life, is completely set inside the bag and you insist your brain not to tell your hands to pick it up. So practically, you’re just wandering around, aimlessly. Or should I say the only aim you have is to really experience the new life by letting yourself lost.

But that’s the fun of it (traveling I mean). And I love experiencing that kind of art. That’s why often time I choose to walk rather than taking bus or MTR/MRT or any other transportation. That way, I can see many, hear a lot and taste numerous kinds of tastes. You’ll find lots and lots of things that you’ve never expected before; local habits, local dos and don’ts, even stepping on a different contour land.

Those things fascinate me a lot.

This may take hours and in the end, you’ll find yourself completely lost (in direction) and need an assistance, but what will you get when you’re traveling to the country where English becomes the third… or fourth… or even fifth language? Exactly! Lost in translation.

Sometimes, they even freaking out waving their hands avoid answering and shouting “no English, no English!” and leave you completely confused by their responses or probably wondering whether your appearance resembles bad guy/girl. I once even made a young girl desperately crying for she couldn’t help me pointing the way back to my hostel, thou I didn’t push her to show me the direction. I tried to chill her out, but she felt so guilty, so between her crying, she led me to the nearest hotel, asked the receptionist to guide me back. Poor her.

It is fun thou, having yourself lost in both terms and take times just to wander around, anonymously, aimlessly; capturing every single new kind of thing. I always call it a privilege to a traveler and I would LOVE to experience it again one day, hopefully soon.

So once you have the chance to travel around, be sure to experience the art of traveling: LOST. And enjoy every single step you take for it may only come once.

Cheers!

Side note:

Some times ago, I posted this in my MySpace’ Blog.
I came to a decision to post this as I was re-reading the whole traveler’s journal editions I had written here. Pretty much missing every single step I leave behind. And oops, I still have few parts left to write and publish here soon. Well, maybe this weekend I’ll finish it.

Anyway, I probably not a true adventurer, but it is true that once you get a chance to experience new place, it’s better to let yourself LOST, because somehow you’ll find many interesting things. Probably things that won’t ever happen (again) to you if you hadn’t been lost at the fist place.

Enjoy the art of traveling and may you find yourself.
Hmm… just like tag line in the film Australia does:

“sometimes you have to get lost just to find yourself”
(nice…..!!)

Cheers again!!!

Real Writing Trial: Randomized Topic - Frostbite

Eerr….
Not so sure about writing this actually. But I was tricked to challenge Brian (my brain, red.) to process any randomized topic (those I’m never interested to or even I never have thought about yet) and see if he can manage doing such thing.

So I asked my dear best friend to come out with any topic she’d like and this was the only thing that could come up from her head.
FROSTBITE.

And damn! I have no clue at all.
So I googled it and wikied it and boom, lots of things about frostbite can actually be found there. But that doesn’t mean that my job is done, right?

Hmm, what can I say about frostbite?

What is frostbite anyway? Well, according to wikipedia (here, I copied and pasted it), frostbite is the medical condition wherein localized damage is caused to skin and other tissues due to extreme cold. It is most likely to happen in body parts farthest from the heart and those with large exposed areas.

What it is like? Hmm… I scrolled down again and found out that there are 3 stages of frostbite, from the lowest level to the severe.

At the lowest level, it is said that you’re your skin color will be yellowish or white and accompanied with burning sensations. This can be reduced by warming the effected area.
The second one happens after continued exposured. Your skin is no longer yellow or white but it’s reddening and swelling, and the burning sensation is almost lost.
While the third one, will cause your skin looks waxed and hard due to the death of the skin and at this stage edema (abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the skin) may occur because somehow skin starts loosing blood. Well, I’m sure this is because the blood can’t distribute oxygen really well to every part of your body.
If it’s not treated immediately, then it can become permanent. The frostbitten area will turn to purplish and soon it turns black. And nerves in the frostbitten area will slowly die. Blister might also occur. And at some level, this may need amputation.

WHOAA!!
Whatta scary condition!

And for the treatment, there’s only one word involved: WARM your body, passively or actively.
Actively warming your body means you need to immerse your injured tissue in water-bath that is held just above the body temperature, not too hot.
Hmm… I think I’ll go with the first one, because it is said that passively warming involves some activities such as rubbing, massaging, applying body heat via skin contact with another person…. *sluuurrpp*

Whooo….
Wait. Back to the topic, pleaaase!

To prevent the frostbite you need to know what factors contribute it. Those can be extreme cold, inadequate clothing, wet clothes, wind chill and even poor circulation.

I think, the best way to prevent frostbite is to keep your body warm by any means, could be with warm and dry clothes, using gloves can also help and even socks. And try to manage the circulation so that oxygen can flow freely to the lungs and blood will happily distribute it even to the farthest part from heart.

And this is not only happening when we’re traveling to ice-cold places. It might also happen in Air Conditioned room, especially to those who spend their day more than 8 hours in it without stepping outside for a while. Unconsciously, your oxygen level will drop and that causes your skin dried then died.

Carefull with it.
just make sure to keep your body warm, in any ideas you might have, heheh^^

HAAAA!!!!!
I made it!
I finished writing it!
And it’s absolutely not my style, I must admit it. I tend to just copy and paste some from here and there, and this Brian didn’t work hard at all, except managing which one I should put on which one I shouldn’t…

Hhh…
I think I need more practice.

Well, anyway see ya later, but next times, I’ll do my own way

Cheers!!!

Videos of MONORAL on YouTube

Take a short break while meeting today, I watched these videos on YouTube (again) during lunch. Pretty hilarious and entertaining I have to say about the videos. I just love how these two can develop such a kewll chemistry, so the conversations become flowing.
Not every word of them I get the point since I don’t speak Japanese, French nor Spanish, but seeing those expressions and how they speak the words fascinates me the most.
And I think I’ve learnt the lesson very well of not asking (or even begging) any English subtitles again to whoever out there, even the authors, since they won’t provide it, in any excuses they have.
So I’ll just enjoy them anyway, thou I’ve no clue about them.



1. Monoral – (I guess they’re talking about the vamprose channel on youtube, no idea :D )




2. Monoral – VIA france/spain tour 2009 message




Guess this is a good way to entertain myself before getting into the room again and feeling twisted with those shoes thingies. Part of the job I don’t fancy a much ^^V

*sigh*
I’m packing things up again and ready heading the room.
Have a nice meeting to myself,
CHEERS!
