Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it’s only seed
It’s the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
It’s the one who won’t be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun’s love
in the spring
becomes the rose.

The Rose (Piano version by Yiruma):
I listen to oldies and this is a beautiful example on why I prefer this to the kind of crap we usually get on the radio nowadays. It was during the production of Rose Rose I Love You that I first heard this song and it really did struck a chord with me. I’m a sentimental fool and I’m proud of it.
I’ll put a youtube version of the song once I get out of this firewalled office.
It seems that I have the tendency to fall into a state of a time warp in which time for me moves so fast that this site has a long overdue post. Finally, I’ve managed to sneak in some time to do this not because its 4.45am on a Monday morning and I cannot sleep cause I slept at 10pm and I have work in about a few hours. Nope. Nothing like that at all. So lets begin the review of GACC’09 shall we? Image heavy post is heavy.
While lazying away like a rotting bag of meat in the office I realized that if you look closely at the ‘orz’ meme and that if you put a fullstop at the end of it it kinda looks like a person bend over on the ground but with pooh near the feet. Hmm…must be having abit of a stomach ache and can’t seem to reach the toilet in time i guess.
Looks like I’ll be going down this weekend to GACC to give support and to meet up with a few people I haven’t met like in almost a year. Photography is in abundance as usual but I do hope the whole H1N1 scare doesn’t really affect the attendance. A large number of people I know are pulling out due to this. But I’m still determined to go and I’m not bringing back any(unwanted) presents.
I so have to take care of my health. Hopefully I can put up some GACC pictures on Monday…nope..probably not. Maybe Tuesday instead.
P/s: if you put multiple fullstops behind the ‘orz’ it looks like the person is having diarhoea and is crawling to the toilet.
ORZ. .. ……. …………….
Edit: Apparently, in capital ‘orz’ is typed as ‘OTL’. I didn’t know that. But then again ‘OTL’ gives less of a bang don’t you think?
I haven’t really ranted for quite some time. Been pretty busy for as long as I can imagine. I so need to take a good rest. All these running around have really been showing its effects on me. I’ve been working too hard, thinking too hard and most of all trying too hard. The benefits? Small at most. Imagine trying to kill a rat and instead of just trapping it you make yourself multimillion dollar weapons system that can wipe out anything in a 500meter radius to do just that. I’ve been trying a number of stuff from learning the guitar to involving myself deeper into the ACG scene just for experience sake.
The more I think about it the more I feel confused. What am I trying to achieve here? Where am I going? What is the reason for all of this? All these done and to what extent of such said benefits? Seriously? None. Met a lot of people, learned a whole new bunch of stuff but I still do not feel…happy?
Never ending questions float around in my head everyday seeking to find some sort of a satisfying answer. But then again no answers on life are never clear. There are things that bothers me and often times it does alot and I have to find acceptance somewhere along the long road ahead. Things never ever goes my way and though I’m never the lucky person to ever being associated with I’ve tried my best. I’m tired. Mentally and physically.
For what’s its worth at least knowing that I’ve tried my best to the fullest of my extend all this while might not give me any regrets when I’m down 6 feet under one day. Well, maybe.
In other news, I’ve finally upgraded to the latest version 3.8.2 of Wordpress after seemingly too lazy to upgrade from version 2.6. I have to say that it looks pretty nice. Now I have to start redesigning the site to something more visually pleasing. Speaking about the site, its almost time for me to renew the domain name and the site itself. Which also means it gonna be Clowonline.com’s first anniversary. Yeah!
But…should I maintain the domain name or should I change it to something more catchy and memorable? Any ideas?
