Chick-lit...er...vid

First, I'd like to stress that I don't usually...if at all, watch or read these kind of things.

I just so happen to be bored and clicked on a random featured youtube vid.

Reader: O rly...
RinHeart: YA RLY!

So anyways, here's a little something for the broken hearted...
And she talked about it ever so...well..you decide.



So for those who think i have a natural dislike for bubbly women/girls...you're wrong.
I just prefer the less biatchy ones.

And i have good instincts on who's naughty or nice...

I just act oblivious 'cause...

"If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all."

Peace Out. V(^_^)

Gackt & Group - Chinese Lunch (Humor)

If you can understand this...it's adorably hilarious.

And they were wondering why the guy took away the rest of the peking duck XD



Song Collection 18: Gackt - Lost Angels

One word to describe this guy...

...Surreal.

From his latest single, Lost Angels:



=======================================
Lyrics Translation (credits: amaiyakuyume)
=======================================

If you can sleep held in these hands
Then I'll erase it for you within my arms
If we are reborn
and can meet again someday smiling...

"I won't forget you"

"Don't cry anymore..." whispered the sky gently
Winter comes to call, the melody of those that have fallen evokes spring
Like you were on the day we met, you show a smile
And disappear along with the children that clung to your pale hands

The overflowing tears change to powder snow

If you can sleep held in these hands
Then I'll erase it for you within my arms
If we are reborn
And can meet again someday, smiling...

"I won't forget you"

When you were happy, you'd hang your head like you were embarrassed and smile
even that little habit of yours no one else noticed was dear to me

Touch my hands, one more time

If it's a love that can be erased with a violent embrace
then someone rid me of my pain
This world dyed in white engulfed you
Announcing the end of the dream

Because you are smiling somewhere in the sky*
I try to make my uninterrupted thoughts
reach out to where you are

If I can save you by offering up this life
I'll show you how I smile as my body burns up
If we are reborn
And can meet again someday, smiling...

"I won't forget you"

"I will not forget you"

I've found out recently that they've vocaloid-ed him.

Musician and actor Gackt lent his voice and stage name for the creation of Vocaloid, Gakupo Kamui (神威がくぽ Kamui Gakupo). Yamaha wanted to utilize the voice of a musician but felt it would be difficult to acquire cooperation. They consulted Dwango (new owner of Vocaloid publisher Internet Co. Ltd.), who suggested Gackt, as Gackt had previously provided his voice for Dwango's cell phone services.[1] Referred to alternately as Gakupoid or Gackpoid, the most recent release includes a new program, OPUS Express, for mixing vocal parts with accompaniment and phoneme data.[2] The new software will be available for download for users with registered copies of previous Vocaloids. Besides the new program, Gackpoid will include two of Gackt's songs and three example songs.[3]

The product was originally intended to be released in June 2008, but although Gackt existed as a model for the Vocaloid, it lacked an illustrated avatar to match the previous Vocaloids. Popular manga authorKentarou Miura, famous for his dark fantasy epic Berserk, was approached. Due to Miura's affection for Nico Nico Douga, he agreed to offer his services as character designer for free. As a fan of Berserk, Gackt was more than happy with this arrangement, and requested Miura's sketches be faxed to him as well as the developers, even though he was on location for the filming of Guy Moshe's [Bunraku].[4] Gackpoid was released on July 31, 2008.[3] -source wikipedia

LOVELESS (poem) recited by Genesis, FF7:CC



=============================
Loveless

=============================

The Prologue:

When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end,
The goddess descends from the sky

Wings of light and dark spread afar,
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting...

Act I:

Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take to the sky.
Ripples form on the water's surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.

Act II:

My Friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess.

Legend shall speak of sacrifice at worlds end.
The wind sails over the water's surface
Quietly, but surely...

Act III:

As the war sends the world hurtling towards destruction
The prisoner departs with his newfound love
And embarks on a new journey.

He is guided by hope that the gift will bring bliss
And the oath that he swore to his friends.

Though no oath is shared between the lovers,
In thier hearts they know they will meet again.

Act IV:

There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess.
Hero of the Dawn, Healer of Worlds.

Three friends go into battle
One is captured,
One flies away,
the one that is left becomes a hero.
If we were to enact it,
would I be the one to play the hero,
Or would You?
Indeed
After all, your glory should have been mine.

My Friend, the fates are cruel
There are no dreams, no honour remains.
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess.

My Soul corrupted by vengeance,
Hath endures torment,
To find the end of the journey in my own salvation.
And Your eternal slumber.

Now what i want most...
is the 'Gift of the Goddess'...

Act V:

Dreams of the morrow hath shattered soul
Pride is Lost.

Wings stripped away, the end is nigh
Such is... the fate of a monster.

Even if the morrow is barren of promises,
nothing shall forestall my return.
If this world seeks my destruction...
... It goes with Me

ACT Vl(Made by Genesis)

Even if the morrow is barren of promises,
Nothing shall fortell my return

To become the dew that quenches the land,
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice

Yet, out of a hundred million people...

...I found you

When you love a person, you are giving them the power to hurt you.


Picture copyright of Nicky Lee

Sometimes...it would be nice if my thoughts came out as words instead of tears.
Or if I could speak as well as I type. (is hyper online)

Years of experience has proven that I am quite incapable of getting angry at people who are close to me. When I argue, I always end up in tears (even though i'm right).

Don't be mistaken, I'm perfectly capable of scaring the hell out of salespersons who annoy me with bad services. But when it comes to people i know, I just either keep quiet(to avoid further conflict) or defend myself with sarcasm...or try arguing with wet cheeks.

It hurts to see those that I love so dearly getting upset. That's why i tend to just shut up and pray that the tense moment will just go away.

It's not like i can win a fight where my words are like a double-edged sword. They cut both you and me up. So my darlings, please don't torment me with this weakness. I really can't fight back fairly.

Speaking of sarcasm, most of my friends would know by now that I'm naturally sarcastic.
It comes naturally when i'm scared, annoyed or plain bored.
Confused yet? Well, it's like this...

I don't like people noticing that I'm sad or afraid or whatever. So i tend to drop sarcastic remarks to draw away the attention or to mislead them.
E.g.: "I am incapable of feeling pain unlike you oversensitive creatures..."

I did say that I rarely get angry but I do get annoyed pretty easily. Especially with inconsiderate people and trust me...this world does not lack those types. Sometimes i exhibit sarcasm by words and sometimes by actions. Here's an example of sarcasm by action:

During a dinner outing, inconsiderate person D was sitting amongst us. As we were having some indian food that night, our indian friends naturally used their hands to dine. D started saying things like, "Don't you think that eating with hands is dirty? Why do you indians do that? It's just so dirty...blahblahblah" to the indian girl next to him, who was ironically, using her hands. And he continued with the nonsense until MY order came.

So naturally sarcastic me, who was sitting in front of him, slowly and gracefully placed my cutlery down and...USED MY HANDS (chill guys, it was indian bread not rice).

This is pretty subtle. But i hope he got the hint. If he didn't, then the Big-Guy-Up-There must have been mass producing in the numbskull category.

Sarcasm when I'm bored...well, that's just me throwing in sarcastic jokes to lighten up the atmosphere and hopefully no one got offended. I mean, it's a joke guys...take a chill pill. (=__=)

There has been only 2 other ppl so far in my circle of friends who can understand and beat me at sarcasm. Hail to them brothers. I lost every single time in a battle of words. T_T

So, to conclude this very long post...to my dear friends, if I sometimes seem cold or act nonchalant, it's not because your affections are slipping through me...it's just that I don't know how to return them properly.

You will rarely see me cry, laugh out loud and you will almost always see me smile.

This is who I am, and I doubt I'll change much. It is a kind of pride that I was born with and grew to love. I am passionate about my ideals because it makes me different.

I will perhaps change as time goes by but do not expect an overnight transformation.

Change is good...but only when necessary. And I won't change just to keep up with majority's ideals.

Besides...

I'm more comfortable being prim and proper than letting loose like a wild goose.
<sarcastic joke...i don't mean to insult anyone.>

We live by our own ideals. We are beings meant to be unique.

Song Collection 17: Hiru No Tsuki - Akino Arai

Hiro no Tsuki (Midday Moon)

It has always been that I'm attracted to simple soft songs like this.
There's an air of mystique to it that draws me.

Of course, many of my friends will fall asleep listening to it.

I'm just not cut out for all that metal-punk-rock stuff. *sips tea*




====================================
Lyrics
====================================

oto no nai mahiru
One soundless mid-day,

kaze ha tada akarui
the wind was so cheerful.

sukoshi nemutasou ni hanabira ga yureta
Flower petals sway in the breeze
as if they were sleepy.

nani ge nai kono omoi
This serene feeling...

nee, hito ha donna kotoba de yondeiru no
Tell me, what's the word people use for it?


shiroi suna no tsuki toji kometa hanashi o
Tell me a story that's locked away
in the white-sand moon.

hikari furasu you ni kikasete ne sotto
Let me hear it
as gently as light shining down...

itsuka shiru toki ga kuru no?
Will the time come?

mune no itami o
when you know the pain in my heart

soshite ima yori yasashiku naru no ne
Then you'd be able to be gentler than you are now.

atatakai kono omoi
Such a warm feeling...

nee, hito ha donna namae de yondeiru no
Tell me, what's the name that people give to it?

shiroi suna no tsuki mabushikute mienai
So bright it can't be seen,
like a white-sand moon

tooi mirai no koto kikasete ne sotto
let me hear of the distant future, softly.

TheStarViewer: All a child needs is love and affection

We've all heard the news about old folks being abandoned at nursing homes etc etc.
I find this particular write-in unique and true to the writer's feeling.

We have too many hypocrites in the current society.
Pointing fingers without a moment of hesitation and condemning people without hearing reason...

All this to make themselves feel 'virtuous' above others.
As Jesus once said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

============================================

I REFER to “Reluctant to add to kids’ burden” (The Star, July 29).
I just want to say that the writer is the kind of parent I would never abandon when he is old.

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about the one I have.
I was brought up in an average family. Although I never had many luxuries in life, I had all the basic necessities for survival.

Most people would say I am lucky compared with many other people. I never demanded any material things from my parents. All I asked for was love, respect and some self-sacrifice for the betterment of the next generation.

Instead, I would come back to incessant insults of my stupidity, psychological abuse and discouragement in life. My mother left my father and my stepmother is the same as my father. As they say, “birds of a feather, flock together”.

Now, I am a successful engineer with my own happy family and all the material things I need and want. I cannot be bothered to go back and visit, even though they live less than 10 minutes’ drive away.

I know there are irresponsible people who abandon their loving parents and these people are despicable. More often than not, I have seen that most old folks who have been abandoned have another side to the story.

Irresponsible men who abandoned the family and gambled their salaries away, and parents who abused their children, either physically, emotionally or mentally.

Let this be a warning to all parents. Do not think that providing a roof, food, clothing, mobile phone and a Playstation is enough. Sometimes, all a child needs is some love and attention even though their physical life is lacking.

A child will always forget that he was once hungry but will never forget that he never had a sweet childhood and love from his parents.

Now, I swear to my child that no matter how tired I am, I will always help with his lessons, play with him, love him, encourage him to be the best that he can be in life, and help him to the extent that I can afford to.

I swear to be a good father to my son, the kind of father that I never had. I will never force him or remind him to take care of me when I am old and whithered.

My child owes me nothing. He did not ask to be born into this world as my child. The burden shall never be on my child.

To all parents out there, it is time you realise this. Your child is not your insurance policy. It is your responsibility.

If my child takes me in when I am old, I would be grateful. Maybe then, I would have done something right in this world before I leave.

SOR CHAI,
USJ, Selangor.

==============================================

Please don't flame me for posting this or the writer for writing it.

It is only natural for people to think the way they do because of the circumstances that they are in. I'm not entirely supportive of his views but as i have said, i may think differently if i had gone through his childhood instead of my very own blessed one.

It was after reading this article that I am reminded of how much love my parents have for me and my brother and how they have sacrificed so much of their lives to complete ours.
