I found this trivia around the net and eventually decided to do it cause I found it amusing.
The idea is to put your shuffle on, and then see where the wind blows you to... and I'm gettting some pretty weird answers. Read on, if you're bored.
If someone says "is this okay?" what do you say?

The Trouble With Love Is - Kelly Clarkson, Thankful
Love can be a many splendored thing
Can't deny the joy it brings
A dozen roses, diamond rings
Dreams for sale and fairy tales
It'll make you hear a symphony
And you just want the world to see
But like a drug that makes you blind,
It'll fool ya every time
The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn't care how fast you fall
And you can't refuse the call
See, you got no say at all
Now I was once a fool, it's true
I played the game by all the rules
But now my world's a deeper blue
I'm sadder, but I'm wiser too
I swore I'd never love again
I swore my heart would never mend
Said love wasn't worth the pain
But then I hear it call my name
Every time I turn around
I think I've got it all figured out
My heart keeps callin' and I keep on fallin'
Over and over again
This sad story always ends the same
Me standin' in the pourin' rain
It seems no matter what I do
It tears my heart in two
(The trouble with) The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn't care how fast you fall
And you can't refuse the call
See, you got no say at all
Go look it up. I promise you it's a love.
You know when you say you're going to do something, you should do it, right? Even if you didn't specifically say it's a promise, you should still at least keep to it, don't you think?
Yeah, that's what I thought so too.
But then again, let's change the topic.
Have I ever told you how much I love Kelly Clarkson? I mean, I love her. Stop me from overreacting. When I look at a song of course first it's the melody but then again I find the lyrics and sometimes I change my opinion, you know? Anyone tried that, give me a call and we can all wail together.
Her voice is legendary, please tell me you've at least heard her.
It's after the exams, so I'm guessing everyone's in a bored mood. Okay I didn't think it'd ever be possible, you know, but oh my god today I'm just really, really bored. Like I can just sit there and cry because of excessive boredom in my brain I'm practically dying, dying.
Which is why I finally found a solution.
You paint.
I know, I know! I hate art and I hate painting because of the cleaning up afterwards but actually I like painting itself. It's really cool, you know. (I know you're confused because my sentences aren't making sense, I realise by now I talk in circles that go around and around and - okay I shall stop now) I shall paint/draw more in future.
Okay, I'm basically reducing myself to blogging like this because of - you guessed it - the boredom so anyone with fresh ideas, bring it on!

I'm moving to Jakarta.
It's confirmed. Don't try to change my mind now or you'll get a sock in your eye.
Anyway, I was just thinking.
I remember when I was really small my family'd share a bottle (the macdonald kind) of soda and we'd get four straws. My brother and I used to fight all the time to call our straws the highest. My parents didn't mind.
After some time I realised that my mom is one cunning fox. She'd forever take the shortest french fry, shortest straw, last ice cream. My brother loved it - he thought he was winning everything, but I finally found out years later that the real winner was my mom.
I've learnt many things from my mom. I learnt that short fries were the crispiest, the last ice creams were the bigger servings, and most importantly, I learnt that shorter straws are wise straws.
If you don't understand what I'm talking about, go and try it. I promise you it's a great feeling when you finally get it.

Not looking hurt doesn't mean not hurt.
Not hurt doesn't mean will never be hurt.
Not looking tired doesn't mean not tired.
Not tired doesn't mean will never be tired.
Not looking pissed doesn't mean not pissed.
Not pissed doesn't mean will never be pissed.
There's a limit to what I can take, and I can already see it right in front of my face without anyone else helping to reach it.
Please don't teach me that I need to show what's already been hurt so that you won't.
Why can't you see it, when I'm beaten up and bruised and battered inside?
It's okay, I'm talking incoherently.

Thanks to Yingting, I love Chemical Romance. Two songs only, actually. So far, I mean.
But I'm improving (:
Just dropping by to note, the song is Cancer, by MCR of course but it lasts 2 minutes plus so it'll play over and over and over again. If you want to stop it from singing over and over and over and over and over again, press the red 'stop' button on your browser if you're using IE or linus or firefox. Otherwise, if you're using a mac, like me, you can't even HEAR IT.
Yeah, that's how pathetic I am.
So yeah. Go figure. Too mood-swingy to say anymore, so goodnight.

I'm at two hundred sixty already. With my schedule, this is actually good.
Anyway, I reread The Pact. And this is what I have to say, really.
I
am jealous of envy the love Chris and Em have for each other. I think the victim in the whole incident is not Em. If anyone is, that person is actually Chris.
When you love someone, you naturally want to keep them, because love is selfish, see? Doesn't matter how great a woman you are, doesnt matter how magnanimous, how forgiving, how benevolent you are, you can't help it - love is blind, right?
But when your love for someone is too great - so great, you actually... are willing to let them die, to the extent of
helping them die when they can't bear to. That kind of love, to others, might be scary, stupid, but to me... I think it's the most admirable kind of love. That transcends everything, like the air transcends everything else.
Now, don't underestimate the power of air. It may seem mild, safe, but when you don't have it, you die. You lose yourself. Likewise, without love, life is gone, like how air deprives us of life.
Today's a short one. I'm tired. Going to watch my movie muahahah.

When destiny calls you
You must be strongWhen you slump into your bed with the fatigue of the day, the incessant chanting of "sleep, sleep, sleep" in your head; when your head touches the sweet velvet of your pillow, urging you to drift off to dreamland; when you put your arms around your bolster, a hundred teddy bears and winnie the poohs around you, willing you to slumberland. What is it that you think about - who is it? What is the last image you picture at the tip of your eyelids, who is it that you see? What is the last word you hear, what's the song that lulls you away, into your strawberry land, your haven?
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold onHave you ever noticed, have you ever tried to listen, to see, to feel?
Maybe it's that pile of work you haven't finished. You think about your work, and then you see it, on your desk, motioning for you with its devillish claws, its fingers drawing you closer, inch by inch. You hear the seductive voices of the papers, telling you to "do me, do me, finish it". Perhaps, it's your parents who came by to cover you with a blanket, who just whispered goodnight, turning off the lights as they walk out of the room, smiling and pausing before closing the door behind them. You hear their voices floating in the air, hear their voices filling your head.
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together Surprisingly, as I was there ten minutes ago on my mattress, staring up at the ceiling, it was neither. I would have thought of the second, but it wasn't. Somehow, it'd been replaced by someone else, but I never thought that you'd be the one to take their place.
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warmAs I sat by my window this afternoon, hearing the sound of the wind against the glass, the rustling of the leaves of the trees beneath, the rain hitting against my skin, unknowingly, you came into my sight, you crept into my mind. You fell from the sky as water from dreamland's clouds, and brought yourself into the very pores of my skin, the very blood of me, to be the thought that brought me day and night.
This bond between us
Can't be brokenYou were the sun that brought me light, that banished the cold and hollow night away. You were the trees that brought me shelter in the rain, that shielded me from the storms when it poured. You were the grass that lay with me in the summer's day, that was all around me, breaking my fall. You were the flowers that bloomed for me, that brought me the scents of life. You were the moon at night, that brought hope to the darkness, that cracked through slits in broken walls, that gave me strength to carry on. You were so many things all at once, and I lived for you.
I will be here
Don't you cry You made me bloom, gave me hope, blessed upon me love, and for that I thank you most of all. You made me feel the true mercy of life, you gave me faith to keep holding on. You left me feeling blessed, alive, and most of all, in love. With each day, I love you just a little more, and I know that eventually I'll love you as much as you do. You made me understand that that true mercy of life, in fact, was love itself.
Yet for the same reason I am bound to repel against you, because I am afraid of what the future might bring. If each day made me fall a little more in love with you, then I think today should be the end of this mutuality. Because by another six months I'd have to pull myself away, to drag my heart along with me, because it'd be too heavy, too heavy, to leave without you. It's not going to be easy, but nobody said it was, and I have to choose this way. I have no reason to offer you, I have no way to ever repay your love, except to have loved you in return.
But do not leave without this, because:
''You'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more."Okay this doens't apply to me, really. It's actually experimental writing, to feel what soebody else might be feeling. I was by my window and I saw this guy walking alone on the road, and I was just thinking.. oh well.
Try it. The window, I mean. It's cool.

Thankful - Kelly Clarkson
You know my soul
You know everything about me there's to know
You know my heart
How to make me stop and how to make me go
You should know i love everything about you
Don't you know
That i'm thankful
For the blessing
And the lessons that i've learned
with you by my side
That i'm thankful
So thankful for the love
That you keep bringing in my life
Thankful
So thankful
You know my thoughts
Before i open up my mouth and try to speak
You know my dreams
Must be listening when i'm talking in my sleep
I hope you know
I love having you around me
Don't you know
That I'm thankful for the blessing
And the lessons that i've learned
With you by my side
That I'm thankful
So thankful for the love
That you keep bringing in my life.
Don't you know that I'm
Thankful for the moment
When i'm down you always know
How to make me smile
Thankful for the moments
And the joy that you're bringing to my life
For the lessons that i've learned
For the trouble i've known
For the heartache & pain
That you've thrown my way
When i didn't think i could go on
But you made me feel strong
With you I am never alone
Thankful
So thankful
I love this song. It makes me feel thankful. Not kidding.
Here's a fact. Thought I'd be much happier after exams but - I guess it isn't turning out so. So I turn back to my lifebuoys, my books.
And reread another one that I found so true. So true.
"What are you afraid of?" Dr Marshall asked me as I chewed on Jolly Ranchers and glowered out the window. "What do you think she'll say?"
"I don't know," I said, and this was the truth. "Probably the same thing everyone's said: That what happened to me was somehow her fault, that she feels responsible."
"Would that be bad?"
I grabbed another Rancher, ripping off the plastic wrapper. "Yes. Because I'm tired of that. Everyone can stop feeling guilty now, okay? It's not helping me."
Dr Marshall considered this, studying her hands.
"But what bugs me the most," I added, "is what she's probably thinking."
"Which is..." Dr Marshall said, sticking her pen behind her ear," ... what?"
I pulled up my knees to my chest - defensive stance, as they called it in group therapy. "It's just that I've always been the weaker one, the less talented. The perennial second-place also-ran. The more likely to screw up. And now, with this, I've, like, totally proved it. To her, and to everyone."
"Caitlin," she said, taking her own Rancher out of the bowl and laying it on the arm of her chair, "we've discussed quite a bit that being a victim does not make you weak."
"I know," I said. This, too, though, was hard to learn.
"And from what you've told me about your sister, she doesn't sound like the kind of person who would judge you that way."
"Of course not," I snapped. "She doesn't judge anyone. She doesn't do anything wrong. She's perfect in every way."
Dr Marshall raised her eyebrows, then picked up the Rancher on her chair and unwrapped it, not saying anything. The crinkling of plastic seemed to go on forever, with neither of us talking.
"Perfect people," she finally said, "live in picket-fenced houses with golden retrievers and beautiful children. They always smell like fresh flowers and never step in dog doo, or bounce checks, or cry."
I rolled my eyes at her, cracking my Rancher in my mouth.
"They also," she went on, "don't run away with no explanation. They don't leave their families with questions that aren't answered, and make their parents worry, and leave their younger sister to try and hold everything together."
* * * *
I'd spent so many months feeling like I was underwater, half in dreamland with those mermaids, hearing all the voices from up above. And since I'd been at Evergreen I felt like I'd been swimming so hard, the water growing warmer and warmer the closer I got to the top. I wasn't there yet, but now I could see the surface, rippling just beyond my fingers.
I turned around, looking back at the living room, where my pictures lined the walls, each one framed, each one perfect. All my faces, all my objects. All of my world, laid out for everyone to see.
I turned back to my family, standing together, watching me as their own faces stared back at them. And I closed my eyes, just for a second, and felt myself swimming, harder, pulling myself up to the surface so close above.
Caitlin! they'd yelled at me as I ran across the gym at the first pep rally, before everything began.
Caitlin, Rogerson had said when we met at the car wash, that cold night under the stars.
Caitlin, Corinna had giggled to me a thousand times as we sat on her couch, watching game shows.
Caitlin, my mother had whispered that night on the sidewalk, cradling me under the streetlight.
Caitlin, I'd said aloud as I placed the last piece of my picture together, recognising the face I saw there.
They were the voices I'd heard all year round as I fell deeper, tangled with mermaids at the cool bottom of the ocean. But it was my own voice, or close to it, that I heard next.
"Caitlin?"
I was still swimming up, higher and higher, pulled by the sounds. But I wouldn't drown. I could already see the sky, iridescent and just beyond the water above me. And farther on, much farther, was dreamland. But for now, I wanted only to stay between them, floating on all that blue at last.
I'll leave the ending of the story open. You guys go read it. It's called Dreamland, by (guess who) Sarah Dessen. I don't know where still sells it but I know that Ngee Ann Kino is out right now, and Popular and Harris doesn't have it. Try your luck at Borders or other Kino stores, or maybe try Amazon online. Amazon is always good.
That aside. I know that feeling. Being underwater, being drowned, not breathing, trying to hard to finally, finally, reach that surface and break through, break away from your boundaries and limitations. It feels good at the end, but let me tell you something - it's not easy either. In the whole time you're underwater, when you're already right below the surface but can't strike through. That's the worse, because it seems so near, and yet so far away. So, so far away.
I'm this close to letting it all out, to find myself breathing yet again. But I can't seem to do it, somehow, though I know that it's going to get better at the end of it all because the worst is past and things can only get better (right?). I didn't see this coming the moment I decided to close my eyes and just jump - and now I'm drowning, gasping for air, for me to be alive, finally, all over again. Yet it doesn't stop me from just closing my eyes and jumping - cause that's the only right thing to do in any other place besides dreamland.
Moral of the story? I've got loads, but here's the most important:
Sometimes, things get complicated and when they do (which is practically every time), stop thinking too much. Just close your eyes and jump. Though you might not know what comes next, but that's okay. If things get worse, all you have to do is try another jump. Jump again. And again, and again, until you land in somewhere safe, or that blue. For realists - negative and negative makes positive; for romantics, cause jumping just can't go wrong.
Can it?

Cloud view, Samoa.
I am seriously entranced by this picture. I know, I know. Everyone probably thinks I'm an idiot - Daniel highlights to me that I can find clouds like these anywhere, but I strongly disagree.
I am working my way up a geog essay, stop me when I'm reaching my conclusion.
I think I was a cloud in my past life. I'm not kidding. There's something about clouds that drive me towards them - kind of like a magnetic attraction, like covalent bonding. I can just feel it. I am going to Samoa someday.
Anyway, in more related news.
I just finished A Walk To Remember, nicholas sparks. I think you should read it. That simple.
Lit is monday (oh my god, I'm posting about exams) and I have no mood to do anything now, don't ask me why.

As much as I want to, I can't show you what love is - you have to feel it for yourself, immerse yourself in the sea of devotion, find it in each other's eyes. Feel what it's like to be lost, completely, for the first time, in someone's words, someone's gaze. It is the key to adulthood, though many might refute - but it is past for me and I can tell you with utmost confidence that this is the truth and nothing but it. This unknown, this mystery, leaves for you to unfold, discover. Take something ugly and useless and mould it, like plasticine, into something that will eventually carve out the shape of your heart, and stay forever in his.
If I were Portia, I would not preach about mercy::
The quality of love is not strained;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
Tis mightiest in the mightiest. It becomes
The thronèd monarch better than his crown.
His scepter shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings,
But love is above this sceptered sway.
It is enthronèd in the hearts of kings.
When love seasons anything else.
Hearts of kings indeed.
It's a wretch, this little thing.
It's the way you look into his (male readers please I beg you change all hims to her) eyes and understand everything about those eyes that makes you fall head over heels for him in a matter of days, minutes, accidental glances, him being the shiniest penny int he piggy bank of your heart. It's about being a part of him that will never be taken away, just like how his heart can never be removed from his body. The way in the pictures where it's only the two of you, but you're looking at each other and not the camera. It's that same feeling you get when you catch his gaze from across a room in the middle of a song, mouthing the words to the chorus, to the line that eventually leads you to say, "That's when I love you,"
Feel the bliss when you lie beneath the trees endless afternoons, taking in the scents of the pine and the blossoms, savouring every moment of your time. Light the glow that envelops you in Cupid's warmth, that makes you look like you're shining in the dark. Listen to that voice in your head that tells you what to do, instead of thinking over it for so many nights and not coming to a decision. Seek that aura anyone can spot distances away, distances the smell of love can overcome. Find that spot between his heart and his neck that seems to complete two indivduals into a whole that always fits, like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle that puts together one picture. Find that happiness that you deserve, much more than what you have now - when you have nothing at all.
It's a challenge, one that once you take up can never end. It's no form of insurance, with no guarantees of a return, just like how it is a race you don't compete in; but rather, a race that you never finish yet through the way keeping yourself alive, invigorated, and most of all, blessed. A race whose only opponent is your hard, cold heart that has yearned for someone to turn on the heater for so many years, with triumph so much further away than what it seems to be. There's no telling what the end is, whether you're going to end up in a pigsty or a castle, but nobody ends up to be like Cinderella all the time.
You might not understand, but you will. When you finally feel it. It's like a rubber band, it stretches your limits, and when it snaps, you finally get it. And the pieces will be with you forever.
The point is missed. The point is, love is the key to a car, the way a license isn't. It is the key to a car that you will remember forever, a roadtrip that you will forever hold close. Yet forever might not last, but nothing does. Forever might be tomorrow, it might be tonight, it might be this moment. But always, always remember - that no matter what it is, treasure every single moment you feel your heart beating, cherish every single breath you take, look forward to every single minute you are able to love, and that's just about the only achievement you can accomplish in this life.
So what do you think?

I Know Where I've Been - Queen Latifah
Hairspray: SoundtrackThere's a light
In the darkness
Though the night
Is black as my skin
There's a light
Burning bright
Showing me the way
But i know where i've been
There's a cry
In the distance
It's a voice
That comes from deep within
There's a cry
Asking why
I pray the answer's up ahead
'Cause i know where i've been
There's a road
We've been travelin'
Lost so many on the way
But the riches
Will be plenty
Worth the price we
Had to pay
There's a dream
In the future
There's a struggle
We have yet to win
And there's pride
In my heart
'Cause i know
Where i'm going
And i know where i've been
There's a road
We must travel
There's a promise
We must make
'Cause the riches
Will be plenty
Worth the risk
And chances that we take
There's a dream
In the future
There's a struggle
We have yet to win
Use that pride
In our hearts
To lift us up
To tomorrow
Oh! When we win,
I'll give thanks to my god
'Cause i know where i've been
I have no time to go look for a video and embed it now, I'll do it tmrw.
But I love the song. Sigh. I'm drooly-dreamy again.
GO RS!
