Pretty fascinating, check this out:

I've always been curious about stuffed animals that sing, dance, light up, or talk back. There must be a fascinating robot underneath the fur and fluff, right? Surely the robot hiding in the bear's clothing, vestimentis ursum, is impressive. So: armed with my childish curiousity and the spurious excuse of 'product design research,' I set out to discover what, exactly, these creatures are hiding.

郭靜，下一個天亮專輯、下一個天亮歌詞。

　　　　　　　詞：姚若龍　曲：陳小霞


　　　　　　　用起伏的背影　擋住哭泣的心
　　　　　　　有些故事　不必說給　每個人聽
　　　　　　　許多眼睛　看的太淺太近
　　　　　　　錯過我沒被看見　那個自己

　　　　　　　用簡單的言語　解開超載的心
　　　　　　　有些情緒　是該說給　懂的人聽
　　　　　　　你的熱淚　比我激動憐惜
　　　　　　　我發誓要更努力　更有勇氣

　　　　　　　等下一個天亮　去上次牽手賞花那裡散步好嗎
　　　　　　　有些積雪會自己融化
　　　　　　　你的肩膀是我豁達的天堂

　　　　　　　等下一個天亮　把偷拍我看海的照片送我好嗎
　　　　　　　我喜歡我飛舞的頭髮
　　　　　　　和飄著雨還是眺望的眼光

　　　　　　　用簡單的言語　解開超載的心
　　　　　　　有些情緒　是該說給　懂的人聽
　　　　　　　你的熱淚　比我激動憐惜
　　　　　　　我發誓要更努力　更有勇氣

　　　　　　　等下一個天亮　去上次牽手賞花那裡散步好嗎
　　　　　　　有些積雪會自己融化
　　　　　　　你的肩膀是我豁達的天堂

　　　　　　　等下一個天亮　把偷拍我看海的照片送我好嗎
　　　　　　　我喜歡我飛舞的頭髮
　　　　　　　和飄著雨還是眺望的眼光

　　　　　　　時間可以磨去我的稜角
　　　　　　　有些堅持卻永遠磨不掉
　　　　　　　請容許我　小小的驕傲
　　　　　　　因為有你這樣的依靠

　　　　　　　等下一個天亮　去上次牽手賞花那裡散步好嗎
　　　　　　　有些積雪會自己融化
　　　　　　　你的肩膀是我豁達的天堂

　　　　　　　等下一個天亮　把偷拍我看海的照片送我好嗎
　　　　　　　我喜歡我飛舞的頭髮
　　　　　　　和飄著雨還是眺望的眼光

Heard a cover of the song on 完全娱乐 late last night
the lyrics were good (i'm quoting 用簡單的言語　解開超載的心 for my msn subnick)
so i decided to check out the lyricist
AND...he wrote 张学友’s 情书
and i heard Gigi Leung's 有时候 on radio late one night, and liked e lyrics enough to input it into the phone for future reference, and that was written by him too.
and that disturbing song (or maybe it was just the mv) 你把我灌醉 too
and A-mei's 解脫
and two of 周蕙's songs, which were v good.
So basically this had been a gushing session.

And omg the ultimate love song (coupled w e mv) 我爱你 by s.h.e
whoa

This is not the way I want to sound like, but this IS how i'm blogging like
i find that q frustrating.

From Jessica Lange's commencement address to the graduates of Sarah Lawrence College:

Be present. I would encourage you with all my heart — just to be present. Be present and open to the moment that is unfolding before you. Because, ultimately, your life is made up of moments. So don’t miss them by being lost in the past or anticipating the future.

Don’t be absent from your own life. You will find that life is not governed by will or intention. It is ultimately the collection of these sense memories stored in our nerves, built up in our cells. Simple things: A certain slant of light coming through a window on a winter’s afternoon. The sound of spring peepers at twilight. The taste of a strawberry still warm from the sun. Your child’s laughter. Your mother’s voice.

These are the things that shape our lives and settle into the fiber of our beings. Don’t take them for granted.

My current fav qn is: If you're getting a tattoo what picture would it be?
One's answered a rose, the other a phoenix (symbolising rebirth)
I'm thinking too.

So when you ask "Is something wrong?"
I think "You're damn right there is but we can't talk about it now.
No, we can't talk about it now." - Tiny Vessels, Death Cab for Cutie

"I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer..."
- Transatlanticism, Death Cab For Cutie

"Most people never find a love
Most people never find a love"
- The Shadowlands, Ryan Adams

Both got to me.
In the former, he sang the line for 12 times
singing along, with each repetition, the ache of missing something gets stronger and feels realer
but he doesn't get any closer to the person
the words add up but they go nowhere, they don't construct a bridge between the two.
he just seems more desperate
but tender.
The latter it sounds so common but. (foreboding? matter-of-fact? regret? bleh)

"Do you realize,
That everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
Its just an illusion caused by the world spinnin' round"
- Do You Realize, The Postal Service

Been blissfully bland, or otherwise there're stuff that are frustratingly inexpressible. Not too impt tho, or I would have died trying.

She who is not ready for life is already dying...

To live a life so worthwhile
you're ready for death at any moment.

Just plunge into the deep of it.
