Nascence

Ive search the dictionary for
not so famous but deep words
that could be a candidate as my
blog title...

and NASCENCE was the winner and
i really thought for an explanation
for it...

Nascence base from the dictionary means:

- Coming into existence; emerging:
- being born or beginning

why i choose this cause I'm starting
to emerge as a mature individual stating
opinion about different issues.

At this age I'm starting to be aware of
this so called life in a wider perspective.

my existence will soon be notice by a more
people not just by my classmates, friends,
neighbors and relatives.

cause i will share my thoughts in this blog
and let my opinions be heard..

Without You By Charlie Wilson

It feels like a lifetime
A thousand days have passed by
Since i held you close to me

If i could see that smile from my friend
I know that i could live again
I need you here with me

Heaven knows what to say
Even though for right now
You're so far away
I hope and i pray
Somewhere in your heart
I'll always stay

Girl, lately
The sun doesn't shine without you
Never noticed what it feels like to be
Without you
Feels like i took my last step
and my last breath
in my life ending
Had to say just what i was feeling, girl
'Coz my sun doesn't shine, sun doesn't shine
Without you

This is more for me than for you
Girl, i finally see there's no substitute
For what we have
Do you know how much i love you?

And that we shared
I can't forget
Girl, a love like yours
I'll never let just slip away
Just promise that you stay

Heaven knows what to say
Even though for right now
You're so far away
Gonna tell you and show you
Do whatever i can do to get back to you

Girl, lately
The sun doesn't shine without you
Never noticed what it feels like to be
Without you
Feels like i took my last step
and my last breath
in my life ending
Had to say just what i was feeling, girl
'Coz my sun doesn't shine, sun doesn't shine...

Have you ever seen a flower that never bloom?
See the starless night without the moon?
Well, that's me without you
So come back and turn my nights into days...

Girl, lately
The sun doesn't shine without you
Never noticed what it feels like to be
Without you
Feels like i took my last step
and my last breath
in my life ending
Had to say just what i was feeling, girl
'Coz my sun doesn't shine, sun doesn't shine
Without you


..when will i have you back??
I miss you soo much..
'coz i love you..

Soaking wet

Yesterday i went home soaking wet
because af the very hard rain....

of stuffs i decided to leave my
umbrella behind since it seems like
it's not gonna rain but i was 100%
wrong it rained hard not just hard
but so hard and the result i was
soaking wet...

Grrrrrrrrrrrr....

the day before yesterday

the day before yesterday was 888 its considered
as a lucky number for chinese well im not chinese
and i don't live in china but a lot of people here
think that it's a lucky number as well.....

so i want to enumerate the things that happened that day
so i could make a realization if im one of those lucky
people that day.

-last day of our exams
-i manage to take the exam ive missed
-start of Beijing Olympics
-had time to rest after a stressful week
-a lot of people married
-a lot of babies were born

well that's all i could rememeber
over all that day was fine not ecstaticly
good but fine..

but we could always be lucky if we think
were lucky cause being lucky is more of
having a good aura and output in life.

well while writing this reminded me of the
movie just my luck starring Lindsay Lohan
nothing just came across my mind don't know
if it has relevance.

Well as i promise I will post more regularly
im just gonna figure out what sched i will
follow since right know i post weekly^^
