~New Directions~

Anybody out there who has ever written a song, a lyric, will know exactly how I’m feeling; and he could even see perfectly every detail of this spark that occurred in me. These emotions wanting to get out of me; flowing down as tears mixed with sadness, joy, frustrations and inspirations. The most beautiful songs come from the greatest hurt; and the most beautiful voice comes from a song felt from deep within. This is absolutely why it rains inside my heart…when two different worlds collide; when joy and sadness intertwine, when positive and negative energies come together.. When a song finally broke down your walls and hit the reality of your life; and all you can do is feel the message you’ve been wanting to hear, the truth you’ve been wanting to voice out…so when it actually hurt you manage to blow a kiss to these moving diversions…search for good things you can find, somehow; and tell yourself “it’s okay, you’re going to make it through”. For sure..

Oh how it feels so good to fly with the words; like they’re the only things left in the world that matter, like a moment of fulfillment. It’s so overwhelming that tears run down my eyes. Why? Just why does it make me feel this way? It makes me feel like writing millions of songs, it makes me sing my heart out; It takes me out to the green fields to feel the warm breeze, it sends me postcards of bittersweet memories I left behind and those that I am yet to have; It makes me forget the many mountains I must climb, it gives me shivers, it makes me feel like I’m waking up to find the curtains rising up and that light…yes, the sight of that light…slowly…tells metonight, you are shining bright, like a starlight

And after all, it leads me to my heart’s love. Indeed, I am confronted by this passion I’ve long been keeping. These feet – they want to do so much…so much that I’m blinded by tears every time I admire other feet…stretching and dancing their dreams to life. Oh yea we share the same passion. The only difference is they had the chance to hone it, and I didn’t. If there’s one thing, one thing I would ever ever want to do in a life I don’t know why it exists… I’d go dance…I’ll go sing. I’d go fly with these mixed feelings. I’d go travel, I’d go play and make my own music. I’ll go write thousands of different melodies, I’ll go work with multitalented people whom I can learn from. I’d go jumping on the stage with real friends, rockin the roadhouse with strangers, screaming my heart out with a lover. I’ll go crying in the rain, I’ll go soaring those mountains! Then I’d go home and tell my mom I lived. Then, and only then will I ever live.

"Get It Right"

What have I done?
I wish I could run
away from this ship going under
Just trying to help out everyone else
now I feel the weight of the world is on my shoulders

What can you do when your good isn’t good enough
and all that you touch tumbles down?
cause my best intentions
keep making a mess of things,
I just wanna fix it somehow
but how many times will it take?
oh how many times will it take for me to get it right, to get it right?

Can I start again, with my faith shaken?
cause I can’t go back and endure this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes,
but if I get stronger and wiser, I’ll get through this

what can you do when your good isn’t good enough?
and all that you touch tumbles down?
cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things,
I just wanna fix it somehow
but how many times will it take?
oh how many times will it take for me to get it right?

So I throw up my fists, throw a punch in the air,
and accept the truth that sometimes life isn’t fair!
Yeah I’ll send down a wish and I’ll send up a prayer
and finally someone will see how much I care..

What can you do when you’re good isn’t good enough?
and all that you touch tumbles down?
cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things,
I just wanna fix it somehow
but how many times will it take?
oh how many times will it take for me to get it right? to get it right...

Curtains Up--

Last time I was impressed by Will Schuester at Rosalita's Roadhouse; I wanna know how Holly's gonna do that - it's her second try. Didn't really work before..

In the meantime while I wait, I wanna write about what my thoughts. Again, this is the real show and I'm about to show my poker face. Curtains up.

After my trip, I've been thinking about Japan and their crisis and how America dealt with their own back in the 9/11 scenario. Two of the biggest economies, battling against uncontrollable circumstances. It is true, however, that these crises don't happen to them alone. It could happen to any other nation, to the whole world. I pity those who were helpless, those who were cold without food and shelter, people who were victims of Mother Nature's rage. But... do we actually deserve to be called 'victims'? Would that mean Mother Nature is the villain in the story? As I write, rain outside is pouring so hard...and just a couple of days ago this whole town was flooding! We couldn't fight the raging monster flowing all over our houses, we could only run and hide, find our way to survival. You think Mother Nature itself would do something like that on purpose? Do we really believe it has life to even think that? I began to think: If it's God's will for all these to happen in the world, could it be that we are getting closer to the end like it's written in the book? Or is this punishment for human sins and to make men realize his existence in spirit? Religious-wise I would need answers...I cannot question why...I just don't know what to believe in when I ask myself about these calamities.
