My Precious - Jang Geun Suk (MSOAN OST)

=========================
Lyrics Translation
=========================

Shy whisper, soaking through the rim of the ear,
our memories is piling up

Foolish and pretty images that we see of each other

Like a sunshine that comes through the streetlight in the alley

You gave me a small dream, something I never knew

My Precious [My Precious]
My Precious [My Precious]
Warm enough to erase the memories that were like a thorn

My Precious [My Precious]
My Precious [My Precious]
Fluttered enough to keep the memories of the past summer
...

The glitter on your eyes that is breaking by the refreshing wind

The memories of my innocent days come to my heart

My lost wishes that I really wanted

When I turn around and see that all my memories are gone

You held my two hands tight when I thought I would be alone

My Precious [My Precious]
My Precious [My Precious]
You touched my broken heart without any words

My Precious [My Precious]
My Precious [My Precious]
The flutters that allow me to do anything if you are with me

My Precious [Warmer than any sunshine]
My Precious [More beautiful than any gem]
You touched my broken heart without any words

My Precious [Cleaner than any sky]
My Precious [Clearer than any glass]
The flutters that allow me to do anything if you are with me

My Precious

「お呼びですか？」

Tell me your wish then, honestly

Disney's Tangled

I sooo like this movie....and Flynn Rider.

Incantation:

Flower gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine

Heal what has been hurt
Change the fate's design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine

...what once was mine.

Rapunzel:
All those days
Watching from the windows
All those years
Outside looking in
All that time
Never even knowing
Just how blind I've been

Now I'm here
Blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here
Suddenly I see
Standing here
It's oh, so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last, I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last, I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once
Everything looks different
Now that I see you

Flynn:
All those days
Chasing down a daydream
All those years
Living in a blur
All that time
Never truly seeing
Things the way they were
Now she's here
Shining in the starlight
Now she's here
Suddenly I know
If she's here
It's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go

Flynn/Rapunzel:
And at last, I see the light

Flynn:
And it's like the fog has lifted

Flynn/Rapunzel:
And at last, I see the light

Rapunzel:
And it's like the sky is new

Flynn/Rapunzel:
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once
Everything is different
Now that I see you
Now that I see you

~ Mother Knows Best ~



LYRICS:

Mother Gothel:
You want to go outside? Why, Rapunzel...!
Look at you, as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay up in this tower

Rapunzel:
I know but...

Mother Gothel:
That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear
Guess I always knew this day was coming
Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest
Soon, but not yet

Rapunzel:
But --

Mother Gothel:
Shh!
Trust me, pet
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Listen to your mother
It's a scary world out there
Mother knows best
One way or another
Something will go wrong, I swear
Ruffians, thugs
Poison ivy, quicksand
Cannibals and snakes
The plague

Rapunzel:
No!

Mother Gothel:
Yes!

Rapunzel:
But --

Mother Gothel:
Also large bugs
Men with pointy teeth, and
Stop, no more, you'll just upset me
Mother's right here
Mother will protect you
Darling, here's what I suggest
Skip the drama
Stay with mama
Mother knows best
Go ahead, get trampled by a rhino
Go ahead, get mugged and left for dead
Me, I'm just your mother, what do I know?
I only bathed and changed and nursed you
Go ahead and leave me, I deserve it
Let me die alone here, be my guest
When it's too late
You'll see, just wait
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Take it from your mumsy
On your own, you won't survive
Sloppy, underdressed
Immature, clumsy
Please, they'll eat you up alive
Gullible, naïve
Positively grubby
Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm vague
Plus, I believe
Gettin' kinda chubby
I'm just saying 'cause I wuv you
Mother understands
Mother's here to help you
All I have is one request
Rapunzel?

Rapunzel:
Yes?

Mother Gothel:
Don't ever ask to leave this tower again.

Rapunzel:
Yes, Mother.

Mother Gothel:
I love you very much, dear.

Rapunzel:
I love you more.

Mother Gothel:
I love you most.
Don't forget it
You'll regret it
Mother knows best

Takako Uehara - Air (Translation)

I want to feel my emotions
And tell you how I feel --
Just like breathing, without pause...

...Because kindness, affection,
And a faithful heart
Are all invisible to the naked eye.

Even though I don't have any direction,
Time just passes by.
I'm supposed to be free,
But the sighs just pile up.

I was close to you; I was frolicking;
I kept talking; I embraced you;
I checked you; I could sense your aroma...

Whenever it was, at all times,
I was engulfed by you for sure.

As the air we shared
During those days
Fade into memory...

Sorrow and pain,
are inevitable
But I'm never going to look back.

I was shaken with anxiety
At the smallest things --
I wasn't honest with my feelings,
And always caused problems.

We misunderstood and hurt each other,
But my selfish heart
Was always only looking at you.
I always begged to have things I couldn't have.

I can't feel enough regret...
Can I be reborn?

I want to feel my emotions
And tell you how I feel --
Just like breathing, without pause...

...Because kindness, affection,
And a faithful heart
Are all invisible to the naked eye.

I was close to you; I was frolicking;
I kept talking; I embraced you;
I checked you; I could sense your aroma.

Whenever it was, at all times,
I was engulfed by you for sure.

As the air we shared
During those days
Fade into memory...

Sorrow and pain,
are inevitable
But I'm never going to look back.

I don't care if I'm by myself;
I'm going to keep on walking...

Keep on walking...
Keep on walking forever.

Takako Uehara - Discography + Bio

Takako Uehara [上原 多香子, Uehara Takako] (born January 14, 1983) is a Jpop singer. She is a member of the group Speed. Uehara was born in Okinawa, Japan.

Her highly anticipated first solo single 'My First Love' was released in January 1999, and was produced by legendary Jpop superstar Ryuichi Kawamura (of Luna Sea). "My First Love" was the beginning of a prosperous collaboration between Uehara and Kawamura. The single itself was very successful and topped the charts selling over 500,000 copies. The promotional video along with the cover and leaflet photos for 'My First Love' were all shot on location in Hawaii. Uehara followed up with her second and third singles, 'Come Close to Me' and 'My Greatest Memories'. In July 2000 following the disbandment of Speed, she became the first member of the group to release a solo album: My First Wing.

Uehara was selected by Taiwanese singer, Leehom Wang, to be the female lead for his music video, 'Heartbeat'. This is the 1st collaboration between the both of them.

Had almost forgotten about her till i came across her song in my mp3 archive.
She's not one with powerful vocal chords but i find her gentleness very calming.

Here are some fav clips of mine of her:

The reason Lee Hom picked her for the Xin Tiao (heartbeat) MV was because he thinks she has beautiful eyes. I agree. Lolz. Here's Xin Tiao:

Beautiful Mess - Jason Mraz

Can someone sing this to me? =D

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

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man
And lift him back up again

You are strong but you're needy, humble but you're greedy
Based on your body language and shorty cursive I've been reading
You're style is quite selective but your mind is rather reckless
Well, I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well, it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
And kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction
'Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions, dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick and probably
Have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy depending on how you take these
Words they're paraphrasing this relationship we?re staging

And it's a beautiful mess, yes, it is
It's like we're picking up trash in dresses

Well, it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt
'Cause here, here we are, here we are

Here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are
Here we are, we're still here

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

And through timeless words and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds not of this earth
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it's nice today,

Oh, the wait was so worth it...

TheNutmegVerses: Of senior citizens and ringgit notes...

"When you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. When you have the law on your side, argue the law. When you have neither, holler."
~ Al Gore

-------------------

Extracted from The Sun's Speak Up Column (pg 14) dated Thursday, Nov 4th 2010.

An interesting article which got me thinking whether these guys attended drama school in their past time....ahh, perhaps it's all those debate competitions during schooling where they train you to argue a point until your voice cracks.

....Which reminds me, care to describe "self-strangulation" anyone? (in ref. to TBH's case).

Of senior citizens and ringgit notes

THE Penang state assembly was this week witness to a quaint spectacle of a man entering its gate with a plastic bag full of cash. Never mind that a plastic bag may have been inappropriate as the state was at that moment announcing within the house that plastic bags (at least free bags) would be banned from next year.

The man refused to budge until the chief minister or his executive councillor for Islamic Affairs, Abdul Malik Abul Kassim, emerged to collect the RM23,700. Scooping out some of the cash from the plastic bag, he held up a fistful of the ringgit bills for the benefit of news photographers.

Outside the assembly compound, a group of demonstrators decrying the state leadership for a variety of issues – from price hikes to land displacement – were dispersing with their placards after having shaken the gates of the assembly.

The man, Norman Zahalan, was no ordinary Joe. He was the Penang Umno Youth chief. And he was there to announce that he had money returned by elderly citizens who had been recipients of funds under the state’s Senior Citizens Appreciation Programme.

The seniors, he said, were disgusted to hear that the programme had used proceeds from Penang Turf Club donations. The Turf Club’s revenue came from betting; and betting was "haram" in Islam.

And so, he said, the senior citizens had passed the money paid to them under the programme to Umno to hand back to the state.

Never mind that the state had said that all funds for the senior citizens programme for 2010 had been approved by the state assembly in December last year while the Turf Club donations came this year.

Never mind that the state had announced that a separate account was set aside for the Turf Club donations so that the money would only be channelled to non-Muslims.

Norman insisted that he needed to hand over the cash he was holding. Never mind that he did not have the names of the people who had disowned the money and wanted to return it to the state. Never mind that there was an established procedure and forms to fill for returning funds received from the government.

That he had with him all these bills was serious enough. After all, the senior citizens had come all the way to his Umno centre and placed the money they wished to return into a "tabung" or money box that the party had prepared. The names of the senior citizens were not all taken down. And the amount that each left was also not noted, he said.

And so Norman argued. Take this money now, he told some government officials, and give me a signed statement that you have received the amount. Perhaps feeling indignant and hurt, he shoved an assistant to Deputy Chief Minister (II) Prof Dr P. Ramasamy, who was trying to explain the procedure to him, on the shoulder.

And so, disappointed and frustrated, Norman left, criticising the state leadership of hypocrisy and flip-flopping.

On the one hand, the state had accused Umno of not handing over money it had reportedly collected from the seniors; on the other hand, when the money was brought in, state officials refused to touch it.

"I am entrusted by the senior citizens who want to give back the money," he said. "But not even one single person from the state has come to collect the money … This state government does not want to take responsibility."

That it had been pointed out that the federal government collected RM2.3 billion in 2009 through taxes from the gambling and betting industries was not brought up. Or that the federal government had been asked to show if it kept separate the revenues from gambling and non-gambling activities in different accounts, was also not addressed.

Norman was, however, not disheartened by the officials’ refusal; he said he was thinking of coming back to hand over the cash to Umno representatives in the state assembly. And so he departed, amid the rubbish left behind on the street by his fellow protesters, committed to somehow return the money to the state.

Finally found a way to get the shape right...
Always thought it was a 1-step thing, like this:



but for beginners we can do it in two steps...like below:

Nike LunarGlide +2 and Cbox Shutdown

Dear All,

I have decided to shutdown the chatbox for this website due to recent spams. Will consider bringing it back when the time is right.

Thanks for your notes, compliments and comments thus far. You may continue to express your thoughts on my posts at the comment section. Would love to hear from you though i don't update very often.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

On another note, I've decided to reward my 5 months of hard work with a pair of running shoes....so that i can now torture myself with exercise.

My budget when i went to the Women's Nike Store was around RM250....

The credit card bill signed when i left the store....was RM399.

I realize i can never be a successful shopaholic because i don't know how to utilize MegaSales and reach for discounts. Never had much luck with those...

Anyways, back to the shoes... The ones i got were the 'new' Nike LunarGlide +2 in blue.





After trying them on...i didn't wanna try the other types already. It was sooooo comfy~

*scene before signing the bill*

Me: Should i get the discounted one or the new arrival one?
YH: Depends. You're not really gonna use it that much.

Me: But I will start to go jogging and play more sports if i have such a neat pair. =D
YH: .....Usually, people find a job 1st before they decide whether they need to buy a car to travel to work. You are the opposite. You buy a car 1st, then you start looking for a job that requires a car. And not just any car...you had to go get a BMW *referring to price*.

Me: ......
YH: ........I gave you my opinion. You decide what's practical.
Me: .....Let me call my mom. If she agrees, it's a miracle. I believe in miracles.

*rings*

Me: Hi, mom....I wanna buy a pair of sport shoe-*start telling her about the dilemma*
Mom: Girl, even the housewives around Penang are wearing branded shoes. Don't need to worry about the price. As long as it is comfortable for you.
Me: ...Alright.

*closes phone and turns to YH*

Me: My mom says OK. And Nike says, JUST DO IT. *flashes big smile*

-----------------------------------------------------------------
note: I did go jogging the very next day... =P

The Hypocrite...

I got him as a post-birthday gift from a colleague... =)

So there he is on the display rack, reminding me everyday of who i used to be.
Of the things i used to love, of the people, the faces...the moments.

It was a distant, sweet memory...of lollipops and scribbles, and of what i so strongly believed in.

I never lied about loving it. I still do now.

But we all wake up from our dreams...eventually. So does that make me a hypocrite?

I would like to visit you for a while
Get away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn't have called but
Someone had to be the first to break
We can go sit on your back porch
Relax
Talk about anything
It don't matter
I'll be courageous if you can pretend
That you've forgiven me

Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The picture frames have changed
And so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

Springtime in the city
Always such a relief from winter freeze
The snow was more lonely than cold if you know what I mean
Everyone's got an agenda
Don't stop keep that chin up you'll be alright
Can you believe what a year it's been
Are you still the same?
Has your opinion changed?

Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed
And so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I know I let you down
Again and again
I know I never really treated you right
I've paid the price
I'm still paying for it every day

So maybe I shouldn't have called
Was it too soon to tell?
Oh what the hell
It doesn't really matter
How do you redefine something that never really had a name?
Has your opinion changed?

Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed
And so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I see your face
I see your face

SCII - Ghosts of the Past {Trailer} + Nekonade Trailer

A bit outdated but here goes...




---------------------------------------------------------
p.s: Can all future comments be only in English plz, I'm no good at deciphering any other language.
----------------------------------------------------------

On a side note, I watched Nekonade [ネコナデ] recently.

The storyline was so-so with not much twist and turns, characters were boring and felt like a rushed production with a budget.

So, the question is: Why did I Buy the DVD?
...
..
.
.
.
.

(if the DVD cover is not a good enough explanation read comments below)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because the kitty is dem cute.
Because Scottish Folds/Himalayans are just so dem cute.
Because i have a soft spot for cats.
Because i have a soft spot for all things cute.

Because i just wanted to add this to my 'cute' junks at home.
....

Tell me how can you not pick up a kitty this cute?


Be it the real thing or the DVD.


Somebody pls chain me back to my seat.

Here's the trailer if you're a sucker for cute things like yours truly...

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

Hikari no hana ga afureru machi tokubetsu na hi ni kaete yuku
光の花が溢れる街 特別な日に変えてゆく
Flowers of light rain down over the town, turning today into a special day

Dareka no tame ni isogu hito ga yuki kau mado no soto
誰かの為に急ぐ人が 行きかう窓の外
Outside the window, people pass each other by, hurrying to someone

Kanojo to hanasu toki no anata hajimete miseru amai kao
彼女と話すときのあなた 初めてみせる甘い顔
When you talk to her, your face has a sweet expression I’ve never seen before

Kanpai shiyou deaeta koto PUREZENTO nai kedo
カンパイしよう 出逢えたこと プレゼントないけど
Here’s to you for having met her, though I don’t have a present for you

Shirazu shirazu atatameta kimochi konna toki ni mitsukete mo
知らず 知らず あたためた気持ち こんな時に見つけても
It was then that I realised that my feelings for you have grown warmer without my even realising it

Kakusu basho ga nai kara sono mama kidukanu furi wo shita
隠す場所がないからそのまま 気づかぬふりをした
But I had nowhere to hide them, so I pretended not to realise

Kake gae no nai tomodachi dayo dare yori watashi inoru kara
かけがえのない友達だよ 誰より私 祈るから
You’re an irreplaceable friend, so I pray, more than anyone

Hazukashi sugite ie nai kedo futari no shiawase wo
恥ずかしすぎて言えないけど 二人の幸せを
That the two of you will be happy, though I’m too embarrassed to say it

Dakedo dakedo anata to watashi no mukashi banashi oogesa ni
だけど だけど あなたと私の 昔ばなし おおげさに
But, but, I told stories of the times we used to spend together, talking everything up

Kanojo no shira nai goro no anata tokuige ni hanashita
彼女の知らない頃のあなた 得意気に話した
Cleverly talking about a time when she didn't know you

Koi no hanayo sono tsubomi no mama fukaku fukaku nemure (x3)
恋の花よ その蕾のまま 深く 深く 眠れ (x3)
Let the flower of love fall into a deep, deep sleep while it’s still a bud (x3)

koi no hanayo mezameru goro ni wa haru ga haru ga otozureru
恋の花よ 目覚める頃には 春が 春が 訪れる
By the time the flower of love awakens, spring, spring will have come

Yasashiku kaeri michi wo terasu tsuki wa nani ka wo ii tagede
優しく 帰り道を照らす 月は何かを言いたげで
The moon, gently lighting my way home, wants to say something

Omae mo hitori naite iru no?
おまえも独り泣いているの?
Are you crying alone too?

Tsuyogari ja nai yo ne tsuyogari ja nai yo ne kagayaite iru no wa...
強がりじゃないよね 強がりじゃないよね 輝いているのは...
I’m not pretending to be strong, I’m not pretending to be strong, that’s not why I’m shining…

UNITED breaks Guitars - *lawl* real story

Here’s the story. A musician named Dave Carroll had difficulty recently with United Airlines. Apparently, United damaged his treasured Taylor guitar ($3,500) during a flight. Dave spent over nine months trying to get United to pay for damages caused by baggage handlers to his custom Taylor guitar.

During his final exchange with the United Customer Relations Manager, he stated that he was left with no choice other than to create a music video for YouTube exposing their lack of cooperation. The manager had responded , “Good luck with that one, pal.”

Dave posted a video on YouTube, which has since received almost seven million hits. United Airlines contacted the musician and attempted settlement in exchange for pulling the video. Naturally his response was, “Good luck with that one, pal.” -sherlene holt

The Cat Returns (Kaze ni Naru)

Original / Romaji Lyrics

wasurete ita me o tojite torimodose koi no uta
aozora ni kakurete iru te o nobashite mou ichido

wasurenaide sugu soba ni boku ga iru itsu no hi mo
hoshizora o nagamete iru hitorikiri no yoake mo

tatta hitotsu no kokoro kanashimi ni kurenaide
kimi no tameiki nante harukaze ni kaete yaru

hi no ataru sakamichi o jitensha de kakenoboru
kimi to nakushita omoide nosete yuku yo

RARARARARA kuchizusamu kuchibiru o somete yuku
kimi to mitsuketa shiawase hana no you ni

wasurete ita mado akete hashiridase koi no uta
aozora ni takushite iru te o kazashite mou ichido

wasurenai yo sugu soba ni kimi ga iru itsu no hi mo
hoshizora ni kagayaite'ru namida yureru ashita mo

tatta hitotsu no kotoba kono mune ni dakishimete
kimi no tame boku wa ima harukaze ni fukarete'ru

hi no ataru sakamichi o jitensha de kakenoboru
kimi to chikatta yakusoku nosete yuku yo

RARARARARA kuchizusamu kuchibiru o somete yuku
kimi to deaeta shiawase inoru you ni

hi no ataru sakamichi o jitensha de kakenoboru
kimi to chikatta yakusoku nosete yuku yo

RARARARA kuchizusamu kuchibiru o somete yuku
kimi to deaeta shiawase inoru you ni

kimi to deaeta shiawase inoru you ni


English Translation:

Close the forgotten eyes and retrieve the love song
Reach out your hand hidden in the blue sky one more time

Don't forget, soon I'll be by your side all the time
Even when at dawn you gaze at the starry sky alone

Don't let your only heart become darkened by sadness
I'll change your sighs into the spring breeze

I ride my bike fast up the sunny hill
Carrying the memories I forgot with you

Lalalalala, I hum, staining my lips
The happiness I've found with you is like a flower

Open the forgotten window; the love song starts to run
Hold up the hand entrusted to the blue sky one more time

I won't forget that soon you'll be by my side all the time
Even on the tomorrows when wavering tears shine in the starry sky

Embracing that lone word in my heart
For your sake, I am now blown on by the spring breeze

I ride my bike fast up the sunny hill
Carrying the promise I made with you

Lalalalala, I hum, staining my lips
The happiness I've found with you is like a prayer

I ride my bike fast up the sunny hill
Carrying the promise I made with you

Lalalalala, I hum, staining my lips
The happiness I've found with you is like a prayer

The happiness I've found with you is like a prayer.

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

Travel to the moon
kimi wa nemuri yume wo toku
dare mo inai hoshi no hikari ayatsurinagara

Travel to the mooon
While you sleep, a dream untangles.
There's no one else here, while we play with the starlight

tsuyoku naru tame wasureta egao
kitto futari nara torimodosu

The two of us together can definitely get back
the smile we forgot and become strong again.k

* kidzuite
I'm here waiting for you
ima to wa chigau mirai ga attemo

I'm here waiting for you
sakebitsudzukete

kitto kokoro wa tsunagu ito wo tagutteru
ano koro no watashi me wo samasu you ni
no need to cry

Please realize
I'm here waiting for you
even if the future awaiting us is unlike today

I'm here waiting for you
and I keep on screaming

I'm sure my heart is tugging on the string that binds us,
so that the me back then will open her eyes
No need to cry

Travel in silence
te wo nobaseba fureru noni
kimi wa tooi
sore wa omoide no naka no koto

Travel in silence
When I stretch my hand out, I feel you, but
You're far away
It's within my memories

koe ga kikoeru me wo tojireba
chiisana itami sae itoshikute

When I close my eyes, I can hear your voice
Even the small ache is dear to me

mitsumete
I'm here waiting for you
kaze ni fukare hitori mayottemo

I'm here waiting for you
sora wo miagete

zutto kokoro wa te wo hirogete mamotteru
ano koro no kimi ga furikaeru made
no need to cry

Look at me
I'm here waiting for you
Even if I'm lost all alone with the wind blowing on me

I'm here waiting for you
Gazing at the sky

My heart is protecting you all the time, my hands spread out
until you former self turns back
no need to cry

(Feel something　Feel nothing
Listen closely　Listen closely)

Wide open ears
Disarm the dream tickler
In the constant moment

(You will find me　Where it's quiet
Listen closely　Listen closely)

Let the blood flow
Through all the spaces
Of the universe

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

Winter in my heart

To the first season that i've loved and lost.

Despite my attempts to stay distant and unattached,

It was your short moment of playful innocence that moved my heart

And...

That soulful gaze at your weakest moment that tore me apart.

I know you'll get better,
With the little help from us here

And...

I hope you'll find a home,
and owners who'll love you till you're old,

And most of all,
I hope you'll forgive me
for not seeing through your entire recovery

To the winter that passed us by,
Even though we are apart,

You have a special place in my heart.

A Dream Within A Dream

"You can close your eyes to things you don’t want to see...
but you can’t close your heart to things you don’t want to feel."

-liliana sanchez-

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;

Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?

All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--

How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!

O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?

Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

-by Edgar Allan Poe

Haruyo Morita

B I O G R A P H Y

Haruyo Morita was born in Kita-Katsushika County, Saitama Prefecture in 1945.

From an early age her artistic talents were evident, and she came under the tutelage of Master Husuki. He introduced her to the classic narratives and pictorial compositions that have made Japanese images so popular both in Japan and in the West. Her works are popularized by the jigsaw puzzles created called "Haruyo Collection". Here are some examples of her work:


On a personal note, I was first introduced to her works through my brother. He had bought one of her jigsaw puzzles called Shiyu for me as a christmas gift. How sweet...(TwT)
