For Blue Skies

A very touching song...


Basically a song to a loved one who lost the battle to drugs who died a lonely death that he wished he could have prevented. He asked how was things on the other side assuming that she is now an angel watching over him and how much he missed her.



But the sweetest thing about this song is that it didn't discourage him to stop living. Infact, he continued living as a promise to her that he will look out for himself which he had failed to do so for her even though he was right there beside her when she died. Even though he did not know if his loved one had committed suicide through drug overdose or had died accidentally, one thing for sure was that this person was willing to forgive her for what she had done. He moved on knowing he can see his future clearly ahead even though he still kept fond memories of her close to his heart. She might want to have that same kind of future but whose life was sadly cut short.


This song kinda reminded me of the movie I watched yesterday, The Freedom Writers where most students in this class had lost a friend or more through drugs, gangfights and drive by shootings. Their inspiring teacher taught them that death is not a quick solution to end it all and how they want themselves to be remembered by because after all they will be forgotten once they have been buried underground and left to rot if they dont leave behind any legacy that will inspire the future generation. What awaits them instead if they are to be strong and see themselves as useful people is a better future as long as they are willing to work hard and to prove to their families that their life is worth living. It means that they are not afraid to face whatever obstacles lay infront of them. Why? Because they are able to silence those voices that says they cant.



For Blue Skies (OST One Tree Hill)


It’s been a long year
Since we last spoke
How’s your halo?
Just between you and I
You and me and the satellites
I never believed you
I only wanted to
Before all of this
What did I miss?
Do you ever get homesick?
I can’t get used to it
I can’t get used to it
I’ll never get used to it
I’ll never get used to it



I’m under that night
I’m under those same stars
We’re in a red car
You asleep at my side
Going in and out of the headlights
Could I have saved you?
Would that’ve betrayed you?
I wanna burn this film
You alone with those pills
What you couldn’t do I will
I forgive you
I’ll forgive you
I’ll forgive you
I forgive you



For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skiesFor blue, blue skies
I’ll forgive you

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
