ShHhhhh....

When the lights dimmed.. and the sole light source came from the movie screen... my mind was beginning to filter out my daily life.. beginning to empty everything it had there jus a moment ago... I was switched to my movie mode.. to enjoy what is being presented to... half way thru the movie (kung fu Panda)... the old and wise Master oogway (turtle) said to Po, the panda... he said:

"Yesterday was called history. Tomorrow is still a mystery. But today is a gift, and that is why it's called the PRESENT...."

I've never tot of it that way... it proves how taken for granted we... ok...I have been to things just very normal or typical to me... i've always told myself.. dun take for granted on the small and normal things in life... do wat ppl always take for granted of.. and at that moment. no matter how u remind urself.. or i shud say.. How i remind myself.. if my mind is not set to really care about it.. reminding is nothing..

And yes... u all know by now... in the movies.. I have a silent moment to myself... all the hussle and bustle of the outside world shut off in a big theatre... where only yor tots may run freely... yes.. they will be laughters, screams, explosions etc... but its nothing compared to the noise which resonates in the outside world... the silent noise, where u dunno its there but it is there... the noises that shuts ur heart...

ChEeRs!~ Cherish now... for it is a Gift...

-Untitled-

I was watching a japanese drama. Like always the japanese managed to make a very interesting story line and touching plots. But what really caught me is their ending theme. So much similar feelings I have in common with the lyrics.

The dreams of that day,
even now I've always been chasing after them,
where am I about now
and what have i accomplished?
Can this key that had rusted out in a sigh, still open the present?
I'm still waiting for the dreams,
I believed in that I threw away,
that day's locker.

Much bluer than now, the gentle sky that could be seen.
What have i forgotten?
What have i remembered?
What have i discovered?
Asking these unanswerable questions,
the sky blurred with white,
the road that i couldn't advance on
continues on here and now.

No matter how many times I lose and make mistakes,
the dream isn't over.
No matter how much is done,
just giving up once would end it all.
A long ascent higher than i can see, is now before my eyes.
If I end up retracing my steps,
only regret awaits me, on the way down.
The heart's cry can't be heard by anyone.
So smile, let your tears fall and let yourself shine!
Look for your individuality,
even if its similar to someone else's.
Something is definitely different,
it can't be heard by anyone but i want to look for it.

Much bluer than now, the gentle sky that could be seen.
What have i forgotten?
What have i remembered?
What have i discovered?
Much bluer than that day, the sky i strongly trust in.
The road that i couldn't advance on, where is it now.

The me on that day,
I'm always waiting for you,
from the bottom of my heart.
Would you listen to me say a little something?
Wouldn't a little rest be nice too?
