O.M.G! I just love this song! I heard this song while enjoying my long abandoned anime, Bleach. I think I haven't watched it for 2 years; until a few weeks ago I started to watch it back-to-back non-stop. I think I watched almost 100 episodes in just few days.. =_="
I love the music and the lyrics of this song. Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do..(back to watching Bleach~)
Romaji Lyrics

English Translation
The wings of my tears, yearning for a spring where happiness flutters about
Become scattering flower petals, headed for you
Whenever you hear the wind, I will be by your side
Protecting you as you live here and now
Is more important than an inconsolable sadness or loneliness
If we can be born again, let's meet underneath the cherry tree
I swear that when that time comes, we'll laugh forever
A life where I love and am loved is budding and blooming
That view will never fade, a wish dances in my heart
For you, for you, for you and I to just be able to meet again
Until the sound of the pouring rain ceases, there will be no light
So the left and right wings throb painfully
As I go on believing in these quiet days
I want to forget about wanting to tell you that I love you
But not being able to, so that I can go on living tomorrow
If we can be born again, let's meet underneath the cherry tree
And walk together in this season that we longed for
In the pridefully distant sky, on a nameless wind
I sent to you uncolored flowers from the bottom of my heart
So that what's important to them will not change from the present
For this reason people repeat their mistakes, though they know better
If we can be born again, let's meet underneath the cherry tree
I swear that when that time comes, we'll laugh forever
A life where I love and am loved is budding and blooming
That view will never fade, a wish dances in my heart
For you, for you, for you and I to just be able to meet again

Reading
Books - that used to be the thing that I use to smack any creepy crawlies on the table or throw at any annoying cats and dogs that can’t stop meowing and barking; the heavier the better! Nah, I’m just kidding. Reading was never my thing; to me books were just pieces of papers compiled together printed with words that kept on appearing over and over again. For example in this paragraph, you can see the word that appeared six times! Haha, I know it’s a stupid justification on why I don’t like to read. Well, except for comics of course. I keep my comics in a special place in my room and I arrange them neatly. I just love reading those damn things. And I’d freak out if I find one of my collections is missing. But all that was before I heard my brother told me a story.
One day my brother told me he read a book and how he could feel the characters and he was deeply affected by it and the way he told the story was as if he was in it himself! I took the book and flipped the pages. What-?! No drawings? All words? I just looked at him and inside I was amazed how this silly book could make him happy, sad, excited, and burst out laughing. Then he told me that I should read it so that I could feel what he felt. I flipped the pages again and I turned to the last page. What the hell?! Over a hundred pages?! – Great.
I began reading the book and as I was reading, I started to feel something. I see what I was reading! I was the character. I felt myself at the beach, I saw this guy named Ray with his brown curly hair and brown eyes, I live in a big mansion overlooking the sea. Wow. I feel and see all these just by reading? I can’t believe I can read books without pictures! I continued reading pages after pages until I saw a familiar page – oh no, it’s the last page!
That was how I fell in love with reading. Since then I would ask my mum to drop me off to the library every weekend so that I could read and borrow some books to read. Ah, I could spend the whole day there just searching for a good book to read and find some quiet spot to enjoy it. The library was the place to be for me up till I finished high school. Ever since I entered college, the mall became the place ‘cause no one among my friends would waste their time in a building filled with books. *sigh*
After college, I entered uni and I was excited when I saw a big library building situated right in the middle of campus. Alas, all the books there were academicals, just not my cup of tea. My reading materials became less and so did my free time. At one point, I stopped reading fictions altogether and all I read was about how to calculate energy, how to do mass transfer, how to design a control system, how this, how that. Arghhhh! My brain failed to absorb any of the materials and all the how tos lasted only till the final exam. But if you ask me about the fictions I read years ago, ah, I could tell you the story as if it was fresh from the oven.
A few months back I remembered the book that first fell in love with. I wanted so much to read it and I kept talking about it to my friend. She then told me find it at e-books. I tried, but I failed. I don’t know what string she pulled or what magic she used, she managed to download the books from e-books! I started to read it day and night until all six books were finished in less than a week. I was on my laptop all day n night reading chapters after chapters. God, if only I am this focus and attentive with my academical books! *sigh*.
Although I’ve read the books before, I’m still in love with it and the impact I had the first time I read was still the same. This book, if you are wondering is none other than The Last Vampire by Christopher Pike. I just can’t get enough of it, I love all six volumes of it and I can read all six over and over again and never get bored. I’m crazy about his books. I’ve read most of his books and I love them all.
*sigh* I should stop here. There are piles of how tos books I need to read now. I wish I’m a 5000-year-old vampire tho so I can speed read and have a photographic memory just like Sita. That would make my life easier~ . OK, ok back to reality now. Books, journals, articles… die……

A simple "No."
Few years back I had a conversation with a friend of mine about how he confessed to a girl he liked. I find the way he confessed was funny and lame at the same time, but that’s not the point I’m getting in to. In the middle of the conversation, I asked him;
“If you’re in a relationship, will you fight for the girl?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Em, like… If some other guy likes your girl and she likes him back, will you fight to be with her?”
His reply was short. “No.”
“Haaaa? How come? Let’s say you’ve been with her for years. You’ll let her go just like that?” I was looking at him in disbelief and trying to understand who in their right mind will answer no to that question. He then said, “If she chooses him instead of me after all we’ve been through, then what more can I do?”
At that moment I just looked at him in wonderment. This guy is talking crap. He won’t even stand up to fight for someone he loves. What an idiot.
I never did understood what he meant by his answer until one day I watched a movie - yes, I’m a movie freak, I would dream about movies that I like in my sleep for days if the movie deeply affected me. I know, I know, it’s lame. Anyways, back to the movie that I watched, it was about falling for someone at first sight, following what your heart tells you, how the guy lets the girl go so she can be happier and all that crap. When the movie ended, I remembered the conversation I had with my friend years ago. So this was what he meant. But I was skeptical. This is a movie; of course anything can happen in movies. Still not believing any normal person can be like that, I asked another friend the same question. The answer too was “No.”
Suddenly, it got me thinking and I realized that all these while it was me – I was the idiot. I never understood it because I was too selfish. I was too self-absorb that I neglect the feelings of the other person. In my head I wanted to fight for it because it was what I want. I failed to understand it the first time around. And now, it’s like I was hit by a revelation. I see it now.
Who am I to stand in the way of someone’s happiness? Who am I to stop two people from falling in love? What right do I have to prevent someone from getting the love they deserve? And… How can I stand to watch someone I love hurting and suffocating inside due to my selfishness?
Ah, the truth – it really does hurt. But I suppose it’s better to know rather than being ignorant in this matter. George Sand (1804-1876) once wrote ‘There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved’. He was right when he wrote that, to be loved by someone that you love is the greatest feeling of all. How can I be in the way of such pure bliss? Though it may hurt me deeply, I would still be happy knowing you get the love and happiness you deserved.
“If you’re in a relationship, will you fight for the girl?”

Alice in Wonderland (2010)
At last I got the chance to watch the long awaited movie Alice in Wonderland! The 3D effect was superb! Tho in all the 3D-ness I started to get a bit dizzy, I still enjoyed the movie very much. I just love watching movies when Tim Burton and Johnny Depp team up in like in Edward Scissorshand, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride and Sweeney Todd.
But, I must say in Alice in Wonderland my favourite is the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) instead of Johnny Depp. It just cracks me to watch her with her 'off-with-his-head' attitude. In all her appearance in the movie, she never failed to make me laugh! Gawd, I just adore her! HAHAHA! I also like both Tweedledee and Tweedledum, I find both of them hilarious too.
My favourite, the Red Queen. LOL!"I need a pig here - I love a warm pig belly for my aching feet"
I love this part! The she's just so adorable! LOL!
"Off with his head"
All in all I give this movie a good 4.5 out of 5. A must watch movie of the year!!
