“What it feels like to be inlove?”

What is LOVE?
Why does our heart skip a beat when we hear that word? Why does that word moves us emotionally more than anything else? Ever thought of that?
 
   To each their own definition of love. I personally think love is when you don’t want to sleep ’cause reality is better than a dream. Ofcourse there are different kind of love, there is love for a mother; and nothing beats that strong love bond. there is also love for the family and friends. and a love to that special person, the significant other.
  We all hear that falling inlove is an amazing feeling as it makes you feel wanted and not alone. & that someone is always behind you; waiting for you to fall to catch you. love is simple but powerful. It’s waking up in the morning knowing someone will always hold you in his/her heart. it’s like having a nice warm blanket wrapped around you, you feel really comfortable, and what’s great is that blanket also gives you a sense of protection. You can truly be yourself around the one you love and you’re not afraid they’ll hate you or think of you differently. Their dream becomes one of your goals to fulfill. Love is giving your heart,soul and commitment to another person and knowing they wont be broken. you feel like you can finally let your guard down. and just realise how beautiful life can be. Real love is all about the little simplest thing; like him telling you he thinks you’re even more beautiful without make-up. or that as baggy and dirty the shirt your wearing is, he still thinks you’re sexy as hell and just want to hold you and never let go.
    You’ll know when you’ve fallen truely, madly and deeply because your happiness just comes naturally. and you strive to be a better person, not just for yourself, but for your lover too. As amazing love is, it can hurt you badly. but sometimes the risks are worth taking. you won’t know how it feels to be loved until your heart is broken. then you’ll realise how love actually feels and how heartbreak feels like. And i don’t believe in all that nonesense that when you’re heart is broken, it never mend. absolute crap. I think you can mend it if you’re willing to. if you meet another person, you get a new heart….you get his heart. and your broken heart becomes in his hands to fix…

 I Love you.

“Depression.”

Some of the following things i’m going to write now were qouted from different magazines.

Sadly to say that today’s culture glamorizes depression like never before. it seems to be that being sad and depressed is “cool.” honey, wake up. IT’S NOT!
           “Please put the doctor on the phone ’cause i’m not making sense, blame everyone but me for this mess and my back has been breaking from this heavy heart.”
  These are the lyrics from FOB’s song “I’ve got a dark alley and a bad idea that says you should shut your mouth.” A lot of other emo bands have those similarly dark and emotional lyrics and being popular in the music industry; it struck a chord with millions of us. years ago emo wasn’t that big as it is today. now almost every teenager listens to these kind of music. It became officially cool to be miserable, yes as silly as that sounded. it’s true. that’s what’s happening. Music is a big deal and it tends to reflect some of the acts of teenagers of a generation.
  Emo now represents the realities of what it’s like to be a teenager today. There has been an increase in the numbers of teens diagnosed with depression and the use of anti-depression pills. Records show that doctor visits for depression by kids and teens more than doubled from 1995 to 2002. And sadly the media is not helping because in the world of celebrities the most troubled celeb gets the most media attention. and movies like “Donnie darko” which teenagers adore sent the wrong message. it wasn’t understandable to teens. unfortunately.
 Today, emo has morphed from a slice of pop culture to a mainstream mentality that makes self-destructive behaviours like cutting themselves almost trendy. Depression can be different cases, Such as eating disorder,becoming alcoholic, or as i mentioned earlier cutting themselves. I find it really funny to see that it used to be if a person was in therapy,they’d hide that fact. nobody wanted to seem “Crazy” or “Wierd”, now it’s hard to get through a day without hearing someone say “my therapist said..” They became proud now. Apparently in their own little twisted mind they think they’re cool. Emo now influenced fashion as well, emo’s popularity makes it hard to seperate who’s acting depressed just because everybody is doing it from those who are truly sufferring.
   Life is more stressful for teens today, so it’s not surprising that they’re having trouble coping. Many young people are broken - if i may say – by family trauma, or school problems like cliques and trying to fit in. or even the fear of terrorism or such disaster. They start to feel that there’s so much in the world they can’t control, so why even bother trying? With that much of anxiety in the air it can feel like there is no where to go or turn but further inside themselves and feeling not good enough or that you can’t do anything causes that depression. Most parents want their children to be happy in order for that to happen they encourage them and try to touch them emotionally, because that’s what they value, Their happiness.
     The trouble is not being acknowledged by others even though there are so many ways to be heard. like youtube and weblogs such as this one. it can feel like no one is listening to what’s going on with you because everyone is talking about their issues. Which leads to feeling alone and invisible. Many teenagers are spreading being emo like on youtube, you can find videos on how to be emo, or how to dress emo. Now how is that gonna help getting rid of that trend?
   You don’t need to embrace your weaknesses over your strenghts just because it’s trendy. Previous generations have been through dark times. and what always get it through is the potential to do something meaningful, for instance, take angelina jolie, who worked through her darkness to become a great world healer if i may say. You gotta see the light side, not the dark corner of it.
 Fuck cliques, who cares!! be who you want to be, don’t try too hard to fit in a group. always think positive and avoid friends who might lead you to depression. This could lead you to serious and much bigger problems and to death itself. 
  Oh, and avoid bad influences, like paris hilton, lindsay lohan,britney spears, amy winehouse etc. Because they won’t lead you to anywhere, definitely no where good to say the least.

I’m done here.

Ciao for now.
  

“Fly Away on the Wings of my Zephyr.”

Sometimes in life things get hard. sometimes we lose our loved ones, and sometimes we part from them. and we all hate to face that fact. that they’re gone. they’re out of our life. so in order to face that fact, we need to learn to let go.  Move on and get through it. Because in life we all face tragedies. And we all need to learn to get over them and get through it. You might be naive and not know how to let go. but going through life situations, slowly you’ll learn to loosen up a bit. until you finally learn how to let go completely.

I know sometimes we can’t let go that easily. even if we want to. we just can’t, it’s hard. it’s not as simple as it sounds. but somtimes letting go is the only option you have. & sometimes it’s the right thing to do.
Because if you don’t let go; there will be something holding you back, you can’t go forward. not one step forward or maybe you can but there will be bumps in your way. Why? Because of that little thing you just could not let go. set free. let it go away…

I’ll be honest with you. i’m not that good at letting go. i’m still holding on to things and people i should’ve already let go of them by now. but i suck at it. i suck at letting go. Because that’s me. i get so in touch with people and things that when suddenly they’re gone. i can’t seem to actually believe that. it’s rediculous but i can’t let go completely. i might’ve loosened up a bit. but im still holding on. and that’s not a good thing. but what can i do? unfortunately i’m not strong enough to let go completely of even the simplest things.
    Mostly what i can’t seem to let go of are the people who were there but i was dumb enough to take them for granted and when they were gone, and by gone i mean dead, i realised what i’ve missed. and what i have been taken for granted.

I’m not making this any longer.

so ciao for now.

“Photography”

Photography has many uses for both business and pleasure. It is often the basis of advertising and in fashion print. Photography can also be viewed as a commercial and artistic endeavor.
Good photography is turning a still picture to a work of art. it’s amazing how different a certain view looks like through the camera lenses. I’m facinated by photography and art. i have a huge passion for it. The word “photograph” comes from the french word ‘Photographie”. Traditionally, the product of photography has been called a photograph, commonly shortened to photo.

Different lights, different angeles,different vision and imagination makes a different photo even if the two people are taking a picture of the same thing, or the same view.

As we all know Photography needs a camera, it’s the image-forming device. Each Photographer control the camera and lens to “expose” the light recording material and to capture the perfect picture.
    Nowadays we all use the digital camera which is an improved camera device. The resulting digital image is stored electronically, but can be reproduced on paper or film which makes the digital camera is more wanted and more purchased these days by photographers and people.

I own a panasonic Digital camera, it’s definitely not the best digital camera, but for some reason i dont want to buy a new one. i’m in love with it. haha. even though it fell like a thousand times and still hanging on. Keep hanging there. i really don’t want to change it unless i HAVE to.
 

Ciao for now.

“Across the universe”

Is the title for a movie which i saw recently.
It’s a very romantic musical movie. It’s called “Across the universe” And yes, that’s one of The Beatles’ song title. I enjoyed watching the movie. it was really cool. All the songs that are included and sang in the movie is by the Beatles. Their greatest songs, from “Hey jude.” to “All my loving.” & from “I’ve just seen a face.” To “With A Little Help From My Friends.”

The movie is basically about a dock worker jude; a british guy who has never met his father his entire life. and He has been living with his mother all these years. Then he decideds to meet him. You see now his Father is american. So he decides to leave his hometown and head to The united States of america where he meet this guy Max And his sister Lucy who he falls in love with. and when Max is drafted to fight in the Vietnam War, they become involved in peace activism. The movie characters  are named after various songs like jude, lucy and Prudence.

    Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and animation, the film is paired with many songs by The Beatles that defined the time.

Aren’t you tempted yet to see it?
I know i would be.

I recommend for all you musical,romantic movies’ fan to watch it. (:
And if you have seen it already. Leave comments about the movie.

Ciao for now.
