in the need of...

i...i've been harboring negative thoughts all these while. even more so when it was fueled by rumors and useless gossips and such. and my limited observations, not really confirming anything, makes me more frustrated. 
i don't like this feeling.
but i can't help it.


it comes on its own.


so...to banish those thoughts for today at least, i wanna share with you a few songs that are absolutely meaningful to me. i listen to songs not only for interest, but also for their meaning. i especially like songs about friendship. please look for the translations if you don't understand any foreign-language songs, it'll really surprise you how great the song actually is.


the list goes (some of em) :


SID - smile
because the tunes really make me smile. it's that easy.
"You won't move forward even if you worry. Shall we start? Right now."


SID - Yell
because it's about reaching out the farthest you can, even if it's terribly tough and hard to reach out to someone. it also reminds me of SID's struggle to getting where they are now.
"Because what changed me was undoubtedly - that's right - your voice."


Miyavi - Dear My Friend -tegami wo kakuyo-
because the lyrics are beautiful, and it's about missing a friend who's far away. personally i like it because of the sky/clouds comparison. it's true that no matter how far we are, we're still under the same sky. this song reminds me of me and my friends back in Malaysia, in fact before i went off i sent this song's lyrics to a few friends.
"Dear my friend
Look at the sky, we're now looking at the same sky
No matter how far we're apart same world same generation
Like the sea and the sky if could also be connected somewhere."


Miyavi - Hi no Hikari sae Todokanai Basho de feat. Sugizo
because the tunes make me feel like not giving up, and to pursue my dreams, no matter how hard it may be. and reminds me to not bow down to prejudices and such.
"Not wavering, just pushing straight on.
If I do that, one day I can catch the clouds."


Plastic Tree - Namida Drop
because the video is nice...okay. um because it's about friendship, about friends who are far apart, and i can relate this to myself too.
"Somewhere in this world I'm singing, and please let you be laughing somewhere in this world."


translations are copyright their owners, i stole them from various places -- thank you.


aaah i miss my friends back home T^T
it's not like i don't have good friends here, but it's just not the same ne.


my Reason to Smile today :
saa...i'm alive, and still breathing, and have the necessities to still live on, and a tiny piece of hope but that's enough.

a bit more description : 


Left brain dominant individuals are more orderly, literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven.


Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, organization, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively.


yeah, right-brain i am.
