Julie & Julia

Watched Juie and Julia today. A winsome, lovely movie. Made me want to start blogging all over again.
Some reviewers thought meryl streep's performance overshadow Amy Adams, but I found Adams cute and surprisingly relatable.


I've been a bit under the weather for the past few days.
Almost every year, regular as clockwork, when the weather gets a wee bit chilly, I come down down with a blocked nose, a sore throat and a temperature.
So that's kept me down, the last couple of days. Then a fair bit of running around and somehow I managed to entirely screw up my sleep cycle. Again.

ships, night

It's okay if people meet just for a moment, simply passing by each other.


Someday, you might pass by each other again somewhere.


Isn't that enough?

It is a good viewpoint to see the world as a dream. When you have something like a nightmare, you will wake up and tell yourself that it was only a dream. It is said that the world we live in is not a bit different from this.

Among the maxims on Lord Naoshige's wall, there was this one: "Matters of great concern should be treated lightly." Master Ittei commented, "Matters of small concern should be treated seriously."

-the way of the samurai
sometimes, there are those among us, that are not among us; and they're fighting, alone, against loneliness..

Tomorrow

Everyday
I, tell Myself
It's Okay
To be this way,
It's Okay.

And everyday
I realize,
Another day
Just went by
And I'm waiting
For something to change

Sometimes
I close my eyes
And I look inside
And I wonder,
If I'm telling myself lies

Then
Another day comes around
And it's good and it's bad and it's all the same
And I'm movin' on again

Tomorrows become yesterdays

hush... It all comes around again.



I love the night.

I love the soothing dark, I love the quiet; I love that distant sound, that lonely car on that lonely road, somewhere out there. It pulls close, then it pulls away again...
I love sitting behind that one bright yellow table lamp of mine, that keeps the darkness at bay.

I love watching the city out my window, lit by gentle lamps and starlight.


I love that i can listen to all of my songs again, sitting here, and they'll say something different.

I like that I'm wrong, again, that there's meanings to things.

And when it's late, so late it's early, when the quiet's soaked into streets and everything's sleeping.. I like that feeling.. like I'm the only one alive in all the world

[sung to the melody of 42 - coldplay]

there
is this tide
of bitterness
that swells
in my heart,
now and then,
late at night..

and
now i'm scared -
if i don't
bleed it out
it'll eat
me away
from the inside out.

more
and more,
of late i feel
so rainswept clean, like
nothings left behind anymore

there
is this tide
of bitterness
that swells
in my heart,
now and then,
late at night..

and
now i'm scared -
if i don't
bleed it out
it'll eat
me away
from the inside out.


[nothing is left behind]
[anymore!]
[nothing is left behind]
[anymore!]

[the rain came and it swept it away]
[the rain came and it swept everything away]

[nothing is left behind]
[anymore!]
[nothing is left behind]
[anymore!]

[the rain came and it swept it away]
[the rain came and it swept everything away]


i thought i might be alone
i thought i might be a alone
they've all gone to heaven and left me alone
they've all gone away and left me alone

i thought i might be alone
i thought i might be a ghost
they've all gone away and left me alone
they've all gone away and left me alone

these
dreams of mine
that won't leave me
are all i have left
