Story of Love

Looking away
while holding you close to my heart;
under the vast sky;
in the land of memories.

Blinking away
while laughing with tears in my eyes;
surrender the emotions;
in the land of fantasy.

Smiling away
while dying with pain in my soul;
glowing with love;
to the land of eternity.

Success

Different people measure success by different means. Is end justify the mean? The most important recipe in achieving success is being smart, having a good strategy, and persistence. Even though it is written in this order as how most people would think in the order of importance; amusingly, the backward order is the one that really determine the outcome. Persistence is the most important thing to achieve something that one desire --- as funny as it sounds, one has to know how to handle the persistence in achieving the success. Persistence is not just by sticking to one goal --- one has to be able to have enough courage to let go of the goals that has become unreasonable in their lives. A lot of people,through persistence, got what they pursuit but they are miserable. Why? Because they did not know how to compensate along their way of persistence. They were not very smart about their decisions, or their strategy had flaws or simply the strategy fails due to natural forces of every changing life process. One has to search their soul deep down, dug your own fears and face them --- and that alone can bring one to a true personal success. In the end, conquering yourself is the hardest thing to do and it is a door way to a satisfying success.

Total Lunar Eclipse

There is a winter storm
and it has been very cloudy ---
will we be able to observe the eclipse;
after midnight?
The chances are low.
No matter what ---
just keep the hopes up.

Nights
Stand alone;
In the flicker of a candle.

Remembrance

The Remembrance Day.

Mother and Son

So touchy and so happy that we can even almost forget about all the evilness of the schemers. Mission accomplished for them, however, we don't care. Everyone is pretty happy to be able to "just see" the faces that they love the most.

This picture shows the mother and son, their moment of happiness, and the sacrifice they have made --- and most of all --- signature of what they had been fighting for --- the remembrance of the lost lives --- the spirit of the fighting peacocks.

The statement really stands out --- as pictures can tell a thousand words. How wonderful their happiness can bring joyous moment in lives of the people they love. Love is like a mirror --- how well their love has reflected upon the lost souls of the darkness?

Their clutching hands --- represents the power and love, a very strong bond and the support system. That can encourage the heart of despair lives.

Their contentment and their eyes without any greed or anger --- without any regret or hidden agenda. It is just simple and pure.

The hand holding on the arm of the son represents the people combination of all without any specific face. It shows how much people welcome the son as a family member and describe their affection for him with a sense of wanting to protect him as a family.

The man in the back of the mother represents the respect of the people towards the mother who has been giving everything she has for the people her father gave his life for.

The man in the back of the son with the video camera shows the importance of the mother and the son. It is an event that people wants to capture in their heart forever ---

Only You

Only you;
No one else.
Loyalty in check.

What I want to Read

--- is "I Remember Nothing" by Nora Ephron

Quote ---

"The O Word
I'm old.
I am sixty-nine years old.
I'm not really old, of course.
Really old is eighty.
But if you are young, you would definitely think that I'm old.
No one actually likes to admit that they're old.
The most they will cop to is that they're older. Or oldish.
In these days of physical fitness, hair dye, and plastic surgery, you can live much of your life without feeling or even looking old.
But then one day, your knee goes, or your shoulder, or your back, or your hip. Your hot flashes come to an end; things droop. Spots appear. Your cleavage looks like a peach pit. If your elbows faced forward, you would kill yourself. You're two inches shorter than you used to be. You're ten pounds fatter and you cannot lose a pound of it to save your soul. Your hands don't work as well as they once did and you can't open bottles, jars, wrappers, and especially those gadgets that are encased tightly in what seems to be molded Mylar. If you were stranded on a desert island and your food were sealed in plastic packaging, you would starve to death. You take so many pills in the morning you don't have room for breakfast.
Once a month there's a funeral. You lose close friends and discover one of the worst truths of old age; They're irreplaceable. People who run four miles a day and eat only nuts and berries drop dead. People who drink a quart of whiskey and smoke two packs of cigarettes a day drop dead. You are suddenly in a lottery, the ultimate game of chance, and someday your luck will run out. Everybody dies. There's nothing you can do about it.
Whether or not you eat six almonds a day. Whether or not you believe in God.
At some point I will be not just old, older, or oldish _ I will be really old. I will be actively impaired by age: something will make it impossible for me to read, or speak, or hear what's being said, or eat what I want, or walk around the block. My memory, which I can still make jokes about, will be so dim that I will have to pretend I know what's going on.
The realization that I may have only a few good years remaining has hit me with real force, and I have done a lot of thinking as a result. I would like to have come up with something profound, but I haven't. I try to figure out what I really want to do every day, I try to say to myself, "If this is one of the last days of my life, a I doing exactly what I want to be doing?"


----end of the quote.
I want to read "I remember nothing." because I don't want to remember a lot of things.

Captivated

I would have flown
All the way to the horizon aimlessly;
but why ---
did I hesitate?

I would have swum
Across the ocean tirelessly;
but why ---
did I turn around?

I would have pulled out
And cut off my own heart foolishly;
but why ---
it was so painful?

Flash Back

Grey clouds;
Driving by the road drain with the rain,
Gaining conscious to loose again to the memories;
Of those sweet old days.

Humming;
Along the song from the radio,
Draining with the flow of happiness;
Of inner peace of soul.

Smiling;
Shinning with the vivid flood of emotions,
With you again as you had hold my hands;
Of the rainy days.

End of the Rainbow

Chasing to the end;
Letting go of the emotions yet,
Not for the pot of gold.

Solar Capture

I do not know why I have been watching the sun with more attention these days. It seems brighter like I have never noticed before. It seems much bigger before the sunsets too. Are there solar storms ---- eruptions on the sun lately? Is something changes in our layers of atmosphere? It just made me feel strange every time I am looking up at the sun. I have no idea why I am looking up at the sun so blindly more often than I used to. It just makes me feel strange --- not just once --- not just right now --- it's been a few month. I just felt that it seems more and more brighter and bigger. The color of the sun is different too --- it used to be on the yellow red orange hue --- but now it is just like a thousand watt light bulb and makes me feel like a tiny bug which just cannot look away from this strange attraction although it is blinding me. Why is the sun looks closer? I feel very silly --- yet I cannot help being anxious.

Sun, Moon, and Star

You are all that.
Essential to life;
To guide our way.

Wishing for your health and happiness.

Fallen Out of Love

It has been sad lately.
News after news ---
from left and right ---
news of the loves
that have fallen out of beautiful weaving.

How could this be?
It sadden my heart,
remembering the brightness of love in the eyes.

Those were such bright days ---
like a rainbow in the sky.
Dear my friend,
you might think that I have forgotten all those memories
which are a tiny background of the spec of my life.
It is yours. It is not mine ---
but still because of those love around me,
my life had been brighter.
Like I cherish those memories,
how I wish all of us may remember the warm flutter of the heart beat ---
Joy of just holding each others' hand ---

Everything has to come to an end eventually
But didn't we promised till death do us apart??
Why am I so sad as if I have fallen out of love?
Why?

This song is for my special friends who have fallen out of love.

Like Being Hit By A Bullet
by Baek Ji Young

Listen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KPLvqyI70M&feature=related

English Translation

(Talking)
I don't remember but one thing for sure
He said he was sorry

(start song)
Like being hit by a bullet,
everything is chaotic because only laughter comes out;
I just laughed, ---I just laughed ---
just---smiling apathetically

Let me just ask one thing
Why did we break up?
How could we break up?
How could we break up?
how---

Through the hole in my heart
All our memories are flowing out
Even if I try to hold onto them
Even if I try to block my heart
They slip through my fingers.

Even if my heart stops,
I didn't think it will hurt like this;
Please do something
Cure me
At this rate, my heart will be all broken;

My torn heart.
All of a sudden, the tears flow without me knowing it
I really don't want to be like this;
really don't want to; really ---
following you who stood up
Chasing you blindly
Behind you, behind you who walked away
Like you were trying to run away;
I shouted ---
Through the hole in my heart
All our memories are flowing out;
Even if I try to hold onto them
Even if I try to block my heart
They slip through my fingers
Even if my heart stops
I don't think it will hurt like this
Please do something
Cure me
At this rate my heart will be all broken
Like being hit by a bullet
My heart hurt so much, oh ---
It hurts so much
It hurts so much
That being able to live is weird
How could I forget you, me ---
I don't know how to do such things, don't know ---
There is a gaping hole in my heart
that cannot be filled
It just hurt so much that I could die
Like being hit by a bullet, ohhhh---

(talking)
When it turns 7, I wake up no matter what
I brush my teeth and shower
Nothing changed
That's what a break up is ---

In the Fall

Do we fall in love for life?
Or love has fallen out of our lives?
Green leaves in the spring turns into golden brown in the fall;
and yet they fall elegantly on the ground.
Did they cry having to leave their trees?
Or are they mutual in letting go?
Nature is eminent.
Let's live the present, before we fall.
Let's looking forward to the next spring.
Let's fall for the most refreshingly green to come.

Forever

When I first met you, your smile was so sweet and shy.
The pink roses that you gave me, I dried them and hanged them on my door for a long time.
I still kept that pink ribbon tied around the roses to tie my hair when I miss you.

How time has flied? How I have easily forgotten the passage of time?
Time has frozen in my heart since you hold my hand and told me to trust you.
The life that we have unfold together is the most beautiful flower
blooming in the garden of my life.

I love you and it is my destiny to love you forever.
With you, and just with you in my heart ----
I can smile and looking forward the morning sun rise, spring showers, soft and whispering snow---
to walk on forever.
Forever with you.

Echo

Yes, it was beautiful!
When you were with me.
In a beautiful dream.
I cry sometimes for the loving days
Not with the greed to have them once more
But with the sublime gratitude.

Without Words.

Lyrics:

English Lyrics
I should have done that
I should have ignored it
Like something I couldn’t see
I shouldn’t look at you at all

I should have run away
I should have acted like I didn’t hear it
Like something I couldn’t hear
I shouldn’t have listened to love at all

Without a word, you let me know love
Without a word, you give me love
You made me even hold of your breath but you ran away like this
Without a word, love leaves me
Without a word, love tossed me away

What should I say next?
My closed lips were surprised on their own
Coming without any words
Why does it hurt so much?

Why does it hurt continuously?
Except for the fact that I can’t see you anymore
And that you are not here anymore
Otherwise, it’s the same as before

Without a word, you let me know love
Without a word, you give me love
You made me even hold of your breath but you ran away like this

Without a word, love leaves me
Without a word, love tossed me away
What should I say next?
My closed lips were surprised on their own

Without a word, tears fall
Without a word, my heart breaks down
Without a word, I waited for love
Without a word, love hurts me

I zone out
I become a fool because I cry looking at the sky
Without a word, fire well finds me
Without a word, the end comes to me

I think my heart was surprise to send you away without any preparations
It came without a word
Without a word, it comes and leaves
Like the fever before, maybe all I need to do is hurt for a while

To Infinity and Beyond

Third time is a charm,
but first time is very memorable too.
Summer is finally here today
with a real heat.
It has been foggy and breezy lately.
8:20pm --- the sun hasn't set yet
in this long summer days.
With a sip of Jumba juice,
a piece of heat is whisked away
in a minute.
It reminds the sweetness of the Caribbean breeze.

Summer Solitude

Today is the day we would enjoy the sunshine for 15 hrs.
It is the longest summer day.
In the heat of this summer, I
Have heard the love ones.
Have heard about forgotten ones.
Have heard about long lost ones.
Have heard about not so amusing ones.
Summer has brought the new friends,
bringing back the old ones.
But, still----
Solitude is the most promising treasure.

Summer For You

Rainy days have long gone as a story of the spring 2010. So is the green mountains along the eastern horizon. They are shimmering in a golden brown hue against the bright blue sky. Sun loving flowers are laughing in the occasional light breeze. Summer is so lovingly beautiful.

Embracing the summer and tuning on the Beach Boys. Their summer songs are the best. Summer box office is waiting with packs of attractions for the out of schoolers. The warm sun can literally bring up our mood. The summing pools are jammed. Summer concerts and theater are filled with fun attractions.

Let's don't forget our theme parks for vacations. California is blessed with golden west richness. And what else could be more romantic than strolling along the beaches, holding hand in hand with the love ones in the late evenings and watch the sun setting in west brim of the sparkling ocean.

Another Thingyan 2010

Another new year is coming. As a Burmese, I haven't seen lots of the respectable faces that people like us wanting to see. I wonder where they are. How are they doing? How is life treating them? Even if I can write a letter to them, I would love to cheer them up and tell them that I would always support them for their good causes, but I don't even know how it can be possible. At times, out of touch and being unable to reach, --- I can only dedicate best of my wishes for them. Have a wonderful new year for all! the image is from https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsDMVUeLDyBeYUWgtPHxrZSQ20UygEMUgv9CF5oaV6j6x5ZUiuD3SFNoOadSKS0jvnhOQbSs9m51E9w6VCBZ74sWTgAFkZxqVOO_iKwjCxlA5L8cU3shSRwuBBU1fr0KNtyag3/s400/P_08.jpg

April Shower

This year is a special year of rain and showers. Even the mountains are greener than regular years. Flowers are blooming with all their contentment. The sign of life is everywhere. It seems to me that the green dragon is promising the future of colorful fruitfulness --- the prosperity of our mind and soul. The sun is brighter with the radiant yellow hue --- almost sending out golden touches to everything it can reaches upon. The atmosphere even has a scent of water vapor so refreshing that it can bring a bright smile on the faces that it touches. The rain puddles are reflecting in the sun just like a dew of diamonds. This is the most beautiful April over several past years here in the golden state, the California.

Downpour

Rain has come again;
let it wash away my sorrows;
let it bring the freshness of the heart,
let it grow the loving thought of the soul,
Come again
---
with love
and melting away the sadness of the snow.

Quote of the Tiger Year

"Someone once said that
if you go too far from home, you will loose your root
kill too many, and you will forget yourself
if you die in battle, your life will sink into the ground like rain
and vanish without a trace,
if at that time, you fall in love with someone,
hope will blossom again on the earth
and embrace life with passion!"

You've Got a Friend
by James Taylor

When your down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
And you know where ever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring , summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, Spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don't you know that,
Winter Spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you've got to do is call
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend. You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
You've got a friend.

In the Midst of the Dreams

There is my friend;
Smiling and waving;
Waving and smiling
Leaving behind
---
then
again;
I felt unsure
Of
Who has left whom
---
when the flowers bloom
in the pre-spring season,
I still dream
the dream of the flowers
that you bought for me
---
In my hair
I still wear them
until,
every time I dream
in the Midst of the dreams.

Cherry Blossom

Pink and white;
Quiet and softly glow
Waving the cotton white snow;
To embracing the warmer glow of the sun.
Did I hear a whisper??
"Let's have fun!"
while gently laughing in the breeze.
