Get Up

First day of "hoildays" it isnt really a holiday, since jc students dont have holidays they ahve "study breaks", breaks from studying in school so you can study more at home. Zesty. Schools are all having extra lessons for those who were not in their schools for PAE and also for those who were to reinforce what was taught. Holiday indeed.

When things look really gloomy and it seems the people around you have all gone mad, things dont make sense to you and streets are darker then they seem- I dont know. It does feel a tad sadder these days, the prospect of 2 years of mugging? Or the knowledge that it will be a tough uphill climb on my knees all the way? Or the fact that another 2 years or more of suffering awaits me thereafter?

QX loves spamming songs, and so do I. Although I do occasionally put up pictures, very rarely. These songs are from the Ice Princess soundtrack although I don't own it nor have I watched the movie, since the preview at Joel's house that day as part of the Pacifier dvd, this movie has stuck with me, or should I say Im stuck on it. Really meaningful.

[[No One]]

I am moving through the crowd
Trying to find myself
Feel like a guitar that's never played
Will someone strum away?

(Chorus)
And I ask myself
Who do I wanna be?
Do I wanna throw away the key?
and invent a whole new me
and I tell myself
No One, No One
Don't wanna be
No One
But me..

You are moving through the crowd
Trying to find yourself
Feel like a guitar left on a shelf
Will someone take you down?

(Chorus)
And you ask yourself
Who do I wanna be?
Do I wanna throw away the key?
and invent a whole new me
Gotta tell yourself
No One, No One
Don't wanna be
No One
But me..

Your life lays out on the shadows of the wall
You turn the light on to release it all
You wonder what's it's like to not feel worthless
So open all the blinds and turn the curtains

No One, No One
Don't wanna be
No One
But me...

When you're moving through the crowd...
---------------------

Not really the idea of encouraging is it? It is more of a path finding theme, finding your direction, knowing your purpose...

[[Just a Dream]]

[Verse 1:]
When I look in your eyes
I see a whole different sky
Like I've never seen before
And when I hear your voice
It's like a song that I can
Listen to o', over again

[Pre-chorus 1:]
It's so crazy how you make me go crazy
Every time that I'm near you

[Chorus 1:]
Cause you're just a dream
This is my reality
Totally insanity
If I could be in your dream
All I wanna do is be with you be with you
You're just a dream
Just a dream

[Verse 2:]
When I picture the world
It takes me to the sun
I think about the way you smile
And the words that you say
Always seem to change
The world that I've been living in

[Pre-chorus 2:]
It's so crazy how you make me go crazy
Every time that I'm near you

[Chorus:]
Cause you're just a dream
This is my reality
Totally insanity
If I could be in your dream
All I wanna do is be with you be with you
You're just a dream
Just a dream
You're just a dream
Just a dream yeah

[Bridge:]
More than my imagination could ever see
You're just a dream
If I could be with you

[Chorus:]
You're just a dream
This is my reality
Totally insanity
If I could be in your dream
All I wanna do is be with you be with you
Cause You're just a dream
This is my reality
Totally insanity
If I could be in your dream
All I wanna do is be with you be with you
Be with you
You're just a dream
Oh whoa you're just a dream
Just a dream

Naturally a song you'll find as part of an idealistic movie aimed at teenagers, but feel good songs are, feel good, just watch out for the delusional backlash once your mind starts to wander.

[[Get Up]]

I'm not afraid to fall
It means i climbed up high
To fall is not to fail
You fail when you don't try
I'm not afraid to fall
I might just learn to fly
And i will spread these wings of mine

If i get up i might fall back down again
So lets get up c'mon
If i get up i might fall back down again
We get up anyway
If i get up i might fall back down again
So lets get up c'mon
If i get up i might fall back down again
And i might fall back down again
And we'll just jump and see
Even if its the 20th time
We'll just jump and see if we can fly

I'm not afraid to fall
And here i told you so
Don't want to rock the boat
But i just had to know
Just a greener side
Or can i touch the sky
But either way i will try

If i get up i might fall back down again
So lets get up c'mon
If i get up i might fall back down again
We get up anyway
If i get up i might fall back down again
So lets get up c'mon
If i get up i might fall back down again
And i might fall back down again
And we'll just jump and see
Even if its the 30th time
We'll just jump and see if we can fly

I'm not afraid to fall
I've fallen many times
They laughed when i fell down
But i have dared to climb
I'm not afraid to fall
I know i'll fall again
But i can win this in the end

If i get up i might fall back down again
So lets get up c'mon
If i get up i might fall back down again
We get up anyway
If i get up i might fall back down again
So lets get up c'mon
If i get up i might fall back down again
And i might fall back down again
And we'll just jump and see
Even if its the 40th time
We'll just jump and see if we can fly

If i get up i might fall back down again
So lets get up c'mon
If i get up i might fall back down again
We get up anyway
If i get up i might fall back down again
So lets get up c'mon
If i get up i might fall back down again
And i might fall back down again

An inspiring, bounce back, keep on pressing on song, I love these kinds, you get high just listening and feeling that knowledge of power and ability flow through you, then you go back to do those tough as nuts tutorials~

[[I Fly]]

La La La La, La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La, La La La La La

Verse 1:
Six a.m.
Radio Playin'
Stumble out of bed,
Runnin' out the door
A brand new day
Never thought I'd have this feeling
Never thought I'd get this far
But I'm okay.....

Chorus:
And I fly
I reach out my hands and touch the sky
That's right in front of me
And I try
Just let go, relax, enjoy the ride
And I feel free
When I fly
When I fly

Verse 2:
Thinkin' back
When there were days
I could barely make it out the door
So much doubt
Changed my mind
Change my ways
Wasn't gonna do this anymore
I turned around...

Chorus:
And I fly
I reach out my hands and touch the sky
That's right in front of me
And I try
Just let go, relax, enjoy the ride
And I feel free

Like a butterfly
Who lost his soul
I choose not to hide
Anymore.......

Fly
Oh Oh Oh
Fly

And I fly
I close my eyes and kiss the sky
That's right in front of me
And I try
Just let back, relax, enjoy the ride
And I feel free

And I fly
I reach out my hands and touch the sky
That's right in front of me
And I try
Just let go, relax, enjoy the ride
And I feel free

When I fly x5

La La La La, La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La, La La La La

A more subtle feel good song, the kind that tells no stories, that has no main theme or purpose other then to exist and repeat some phrases to catchy music oh- and to give singers a chance to mass spam meaningless sounds like "la"

I think that's that for now, wow those songs really make a post long. I can;t wait till I get to watch that movie (It is only avaliable via Disney DVD) so should I start saving up or~

Ok more feel great stuff, I really feel purposeless and in the pits today so more nice feeling stuff. you may ask, if you (the writer) are the one feeling in the pits then why are you blogging out feel good stuff for your readers? Well, because writing is expressing, as I type it out part my mood goes with it, trust me, I'll be in a far better mood after this.

A letter from Chicken Soup for the Teenagers' Soul, got it at SR library during PAE, one of those long days with extra stretches of breaks. The examples are more of a US thing not really applicable in Singapore's more conservative society, but the things they say really hit home even though they can sound very corny at times.

Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many people call you and it's not about who you've dated, are dating or haven't dated at all. It isn't about who you've kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. It's not about your shoes, or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school. In fact, it's not about grades, money, clothes or which colleges accept you or not. Life isn't about if you have lots of friends or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that.

But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness and compassion. It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. It's about what you say and what you mean. It's about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that would have never been achieved otherwise. These choices are what life is about.


While I apply that on myself, I am wishing people read this, and apply it. Not only towards me but towards everyone. How idealistic, how naive you may say. Yes, it is, but I live in my fairytale world, and you cant drag me out.

Never fit the crowd, nothing gets me down~
