#10 song: Angela Aki's Tegami

I’m sorry I post this late. I’m suppose to post this yesterday but I was too lazy =_=. I promised myself to post one post a day and yesterday I already posted something so decided to delay this post. Anyway, as promised, I’ll post a song that have deep meanings and left an impression on me.

The title is Tegami(letter)by Angela Aki. It’s a Japanese song and actually I found this song while I was searching for Hey!Say!JUMP’s videos to kill time, two years ago. The first time I heard it I somehow felt like crying even though what I heard was just the intro and she didn’t even start to sing yet. So I kinda felt that I had to look that song up. I heard the song and read the translation, it made me cry.

When I read the translation, I thought that this person is so great, she understand us, teenagers. It’s nice of her to put those in her song. It made me feel appreciated and made me thinks that I’m not alone, there’s someone out there that understand.

I’m not going to post the full lyric or translation here, if you want it you can get it here. Here’s some quote from my favorite part of the song:

For me who's 15 years old
There are seeds of worries that I can't tell anyone

…

Now, it seems that I'm about to be defeated and about to cry
For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?
This one-and-only heart has been broken down so many times
In the midst of this pain, I live the present

This is the part when I started to cry. It’s like, I understand these feeling very well, and in fact that was what I was feeling at the time so I cried a lot.

 The rough seas of youth may be tough
But row your boat of dreams on
Towards the shores of tomorrow

…

There's meaning to everything in life
So build your dreams without fear
Keep on believing

…

No matter what era we're in
There's no running away from sorrow
So show your smile, and go on living the present
Go on living the present

These parts made me feel like I have to work hard and encourage me a lot. It sort of made me feel better when I was fed up with life. I always thought I wanted to grow up fast because I thought, then I can be free from these problems, these troubles. But what I never thought of is that even if I grow up, it won’t solve the problem and as an adult there are other problems that I’ll have to face later in life.

I learned a lot from this song and I think I had matured a bit. It’s amazing how Angela can make this beautiful song that can touch people, and affect them in their daily life. I envy those people that can inspire others through their arts. One day, I want to inspire people too, maybe not through songs like her but through my own piece of art.

1 down 9 more to go! ^^

Ikemen!...desuka?

Yesterday, I watched Ikemen Desune. It was not as good as I expected it would be. Maybe my expectation was a little too high. Then again it’s just the start, I hope it’ll get better. I think Fujigaya acted his part really well, same goes to Tama but Hikaru… I think he can do better than that. I’ve seen him do better than that. I hope he’ll get more into the character soon because I think it’s not enough. Hmm… maybe I’m always looking at him that’s why I noticed this. I want him to get better and not lose to the Korean version! Other than that it was actually quite good, very funny in fact.

I love the president (he’s the president right? The one that's always have scarf around his neck? Correct me if I’m wrong). He said, “You! Yatchainayo!” Isn’t that Johnny-san? I lolled at that, Tama, Fujigaya and Hikaru must have taught him.

Though Hikaru is my bias but my favorite part got nothing to do with him. I love the part when Tama sang ‘Promise’ along with acoustic guitar. His voice was like flowing with the sound of guitar. His voice was not all that special but it felt very calming. When he sang it he didn't sang to show that he have good vocal or something, he just simply sang and that is what I love most. I love this version of the song. It sounded so nice. I watched that part like ten times! I can’t get enough of it.

The preview of episode two looked nice! I’m looking forward to it!

One Way to Find HAPPINESS Is to Find An IKEMEN!

I’ve been thinking lately of what should I do to keep me writing. Right now, the time gap between each post is big. I write, like one post, and then the next one will be in another one or two or more months. So I came up with this: 10 songs with meaningful lyrics! Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll write a post about songs that have deep meanings and left an impression on me each day for ten days. I hope this’ll work. I seriously need to discipline myself more. I’ll start doing it tomorrow!

Did you watch yesterday’s Ikemen Desune? How was it? I haven’t watched it yet >.< !  Right now, I’m waiting for someone to upload it.  I’m so excited about the drama! It looks very interesting and I like the casts too, especially Hikaru <3

It’s supposed to be a remake of this Korean drama, You’re Beautiful. I tried watching it but I can’t get through episode two.  It’s too much of a drama and the progress is quite slow. Maybe, because I’m so used to watching Japanese drama. Japanese drama are usually fast-paced. *shrugs*

Lastly, to end my post how about a song? I came across this just now when I’m wandering around the net. It's  quite old already, 2009. But hey! it sounds good so why not? I love this song especially the first part.They’re Happiness and all of them are still in middle school. Hope this will cheer your day up!

Gamerboy Danial

Yo! its me, Dime. It's been quite a while since i last wrote. When I made this blog, I really wanted to update this daily, but I just couldn't. Im such a lazy girl =_=. I always thought on what I wanna write but I never really wrote it.

Today, I went to my aunt's house. From now on, im gonna refer her as makngah. She is my dad's younger sister and she lives not far from my house. It takes 5 minutes to get there by car. Makngah have 3 children, a girl and two boys. The oldest, Yasmin is in grade 2, Danial is 4 years old and the last one is Danish, 1 year old.

 I was bored, so i decided to follow Makngah home after she sent Yasmin to school, which is btw, just across my house. She sometimes stop by my house and have a chit-chat with mom and I.

While i was there, i was surprised to watch my cousin, Danial. He was playing counter-strike like no one his age. You would had been shocked too if you saw him! He's four! and he could control the mouse very well. He knows where to click and where to press the keyboard. He can't even read and speak right yet. His eyes was glued to the screen the whole time!



But then, i think he must have inherited it from my brother. He's a gamer too. We started to play Heroes when we was like 7 and 8. And it was a strategy game too! Right now, he plays games 24/7! and he wouldn't have mind if he had  to sacrifice his sleeping time if it's mean more time to play.

In other completely unrelated topic, do you know what Bon Odori is? Its a japanese culture and apparently they held it here, in Malaysia too. It's tomorrow and im not going. I really wanted to go when i first heard of it but then i changed my mind, maybe next year. *shrugs*
