"coz i love her with all that i am
and my voice shakes along with my hands
cause it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea
but i'd rather be here than on land
yes she's all that i see and she's all that i need
and i'm out of my league once again"

to my dearest friend, and at times-worst enemy.
to my loving wife,
who taught me how to fly...

happy 30th birthday!

friday

first friday of the year.
nothing's special.

but this 2009,there will be 3 fridays
falling on the 13th day of the month.
yes, 3 times!
last year it falls only once.
and again, 1 time by 2010.

i'm not superstitious,
but i always look forward and excited of that day.
can't explain why.

for some, they see friday the 13th the irony of life.

akemashite omedeto gozaimasu!

every end of a chapter in our life carries the promise of a new beginning. just when the caterpillar thought its life was over, it became a butterfly and was given wings with which to fly. so when things don't come up to our expectations, do not fret or panic. it is just the finished chapter, and the new one is just about to unfold. smile as the new chapter begins and look up to another new beginning...

welcome 2009!

New Beginning
Tracy Chapman

The whole worlds broke and it aint worth fixing
Its time to start all over, make a new beginning
Theres too much pain, too much suffering
Lets resolve to start all over make a new beginning
Now dont get me wrong - I love life and living
But when you wake up and look around at everything thats going down -
All wrong
You see we need to change it now, this world with too few happy endings
We can resolve to start all over make a new beginning

Start all over

The world is broken into fragments and pieces
That once were joined together in a unified whole
But now too many stand alone - theres too much separation
We can resolve to come together in the new beginning

Start all over

We can break the cycle - we can break the chain
We can start all over - in the new beginning
We can learn, we can teach
We can share the myths the dream the prayer
The notion that we can do better
Change our lives and paths
Create a new world and

Start all over

The whole worlds broke and it aint worth fixing
Its time to start all over, make a new beginning
Theres too much fighting, too little understanding
Its time to stop and start all over
Make a new beginning

Start all over

We need to make new symbols
Make new signs
Make a new language
With these well define the world

And start all over
Start all over
Start all over
Start all over ...
