Two face!

People indeed have two faces.

The ugly one and the good one.

The evil one alone is not all you are.

Which one is more dominant?

Honestly, it does not matter.

What important is to confront the ugly side of you

without closing your eyes.

That is because we are human beings.

Being human means having both of the sides within us.

Reality!

People end up believing the things that appear right before their eyes.

Never confirming whether they are real or not...

But if they think about it,

What truly precious is love.

It might be invisible like the air we breath, but they are real.

Kite!

The reason for the kite to fly happily in the sky, is not because it's free.
It's because there's a string that will eventually tug it close.
Even if it could fly freely, no matter how high it flies...
Even if it could reach outer space, it wouldn't be happy
Beyond that string, there is a place to go home to.
Even if it gets tattered and torn or become useless.
There is a gentle hand that will hold it close
That's why I could fly
For that, I don't mind to live the rest of my life as a useless creature.

High School Love

High School Love
by A.G.K.H.

On the first day of the senior high
Our eyes met as we walked through the gate
She was looking right at me
She was very cute and pretty
Her eyes were shinning and sparkling
Her smile struck my soul
It felt like we're starring at each other for several seconds

Was it destiny or fate? or by chance?
The teacher moved me to sit right next to her.
Watched her studying in class
and looked at her smile almost everyday
It made me really happy

We passed each other at the train station
and my heart was beating so hard
I wanted to say something to her
but my voice did not come out
My mind was blank

When I finally got up the courage to look back
She just happened to be looking back too
Time stopped and everything around us seemed faded away
When the train came, we both looked away quickly

Through out the year, we hardly talk to each other
but we were text messaging each other.
We were supporting and encouraging each other
Somehow I felt like I knew her better

At the end of the year,
after I had Christmas party at my friend's house
I found myself standing in front of her house
Holding my phone to ask her out.

There was a light still on on one of the rooms
so she was probably still up, but...
in the end I did not call or even text her.
I did not have the courage to tell her those three words

This sweet distance felt so close yet so far
She was so close but seemed so far away
but with just a phone...I could reach her!!

I am not sure

I know that you believe, you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant

Welcome Home

-------------------------------------------------------
On the way to my sweet home, I can already hear the words, “You’re home!”*
I am returning to the place that gave me the love that I am so thankful for.**

Blotting out my sadness and painting a smile on my face,
I pretend as if everything is alright.
I admit that although I can understand the importance of belief,
It is in the most critical of moments that I doubt myself.

And though this empty body of mine seems to
Almost float through the passage of time,
There is this feeling that always carries me forward:
The feeling of longing to hold you in my arms.

Before I could even say, “I’m home!” I could already hear, “You’re back!”***
Those very words are enough to cause my heart to brim over.****
Returning to my sweet home, I could already hear the words, “You’re home!”
I am returning to the place that blessed me with a love that I am forever grateful for:
My sweet home.

I truly believe that those
Who only keep their own interests at heart are characters of deceit;
But I also know that there are those
Who are desperately crying out for change.

Because of you, I have come to appreciate that
There is no such thing as an ordinary happiness in this world...
And it is this knowledge that continues to drive me forward.

Before I could even call out, “I’m home!” I can already hear, “You’re back!”
In this continued acceleration of everyday life...
I could hear the words, “You’re home!” echoing from my sweet home,
And therein lays a scene that remains eternally unchanging,
There in my sweet home.

Having searched and having lost,
There are emotional wounds that I have to face.
It was in the power of those simple words
That I drew my strength: the words, “You’re home.”

Already I can hear them say, “You’re back!” Before I could enter, “I’m home!”
Indeed, their words are more than enough to fill my heart over.
Returning to the sweetness of home, I can already hear, “You’re home!”
I’m heading back to the place where I owe my debt of gratitude for the love it bestowed upon me:
My sweet home.

I can already hear the words, “You’re home!” As I dream of replying, “I’m home!”
Everything is truly alright now because you are there.
On my way home, I could already hear the words, “You’re back!”
Wait for me, I’ll be soon arriving,
My sweet, sweet home.

Can't get this song out of my head!!

All in
by Lifehouse
Smoke and Mirrors (2010)

All night staring at the ceiling
counting for minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone

But you know it's alright
I came to my senses
Letting go of my defenses
There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here
I'm not losing you this time

And I'm all in, nothing left to hide
I'm falling harder than a landslide
I spend a week away from you last night
And now I'm calling, calling out your name
Even if I lose the game, I'm all in
I'm all in tonight, yeah I'm all in, I'm all in for life

There's no taking back what we've got
Too strong, we've had each other's back for too long
There's no breaking up this time
And you know it's okay, I came to my senses
Letting go of my defenses
There's no way I'm giving up this time

And I'm all in, nothing left to hide
I'm falling harder than a landslide
I spend a week away from you last night
And now I'm calling, calling out your name
Even if I lose the game, I'm all in
I'm all in tonight, yeah I'm all in, I'm all in for life

I want it, I want it, I want it
I want it, I want it, I want it, yeah
I want it, I want it, I want it, yeah

And I'm all in, calling out your name
Even if I lose the game, I'm all in, I'm all in for life
And I'm all in, nothing left to hide
I'm falling harder than a landslide
I spend a week away from you last night
And now I'm calling, calling out your name
Even if I lose the game, I'm all in
I'm all in tonight, yeah I'm all in, I'm all in for life
Yeah I'm all in, I'm all in for life

Willing to take risks!

Sometimes we need to take a risk in order to know our limits and bring some changes into our life. Growth could be painful sometimes but growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown. I took risks by moving to USA and things have come out against me once again. However, I believe that God always guides me wherever I go so I'm 100% sure I would be fine. We have to take risks because we will only understand the miracle of life when we allow unexpected to happen. I still remember my coach said that without challenge people cannot reach their higher selves and only if we're willing to walk over the edge can we become winners. Every times I got angry because of my stupid mistakes, my mother used to say if you're not making mistakes, you're not taking risks, and that means you're not going anywhere. Those words make me feel better. Moreover, the person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love and live. Anyway, I really like this quote:

"To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing."

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time lol XD

Just by looking at these pictures, I would laugh!! LOL
It was crazy how we lost ourselves on that day during Holi celebration!
If you obey all the rules, you would miss all the fun!
