Waiting For The End - Linkin Park

All I wanna do is trade this life for something new...

It took me more than a week to finally find this song! I heard this song over on the radio and I really did not expect it's by Linkin Park. I tried to remember some of the keywords when I was listening to this song but I guess my memory is failing me. But boy was I glad when I heard this song again on the radio and lucky me I was on my laptop when I heard it, so I search in my trusted Google "all I wanna do is trade this life for something new" and walla~ the search result came up.. Waiting For The End - Linkin Park.

Lyrics:

This is not the end, this is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot, rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady, something empty's withing 'em
We say yeah
With fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear

Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control
Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go...

I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasn't so...

I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

What was left when that fire was gone
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
And I don't even know what kind of things I said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
Picking up the pieces, now where to begin?
The hardest part of ending is starting again.

All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

This is not the end, this is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot, rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady, something empty's withing 'em
We say yeah
With fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear

Christmas!

Santa Can You Hear Me?

I Have Been So Good This Year,
And All I Want Is One Thing,

(okay, the song stops here. I do not want only ONE thing.. >.<") ..................................................................................................

Christmas is just around the corner. Another 12 days to be precise. Gosh, how time flies eh?

So, since it's the season for giving and sharing, I would like to share with you my wishlist for this Christmas that you might want to be give me. *hint hint*

1. Canon EFS10-22mm f/3.5-4.5




This is a wide angle lens that would really make photography real fun. I never actually bothered having this lens until one day I found out what it could do! Imagine all the pictures that I can shoot with this baby. I would have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year indeed!


2. iPhone 4 32gb

I never really liked iPhones before although I've played with several times. But the new iPhone 4 is just too attractive! First time I held it in my hand, I knew it was meant for me! LOL!



3. MacBook Pro 13" 2.66Ghz

This is something I need. A new laptop. Why Mac? Well, just to compliment the above wishlist. Hahaha. Won't be complete if own an iPhone alone.

.............................................................

Santa Can You Hear Me?
I Really Hope That You're On Your Way,
With Something Special For Me In Your Sleigh,
Oh Please Make My Wish Come True,
Santa Can You Hear Me?

The Invention of Lying

A few months ago I watched a movie titled The Invention of Lying. I never heard of it before until one day I was browsing the net for some good movies to watch. For me the movie was quite good. Not good, almost good. Haha.

Anyways, the movie was about a guy who was a loser in the movie invented the first lie. He was the only person in the world that could do that, and at some point his lies created chaos. The movie was fairly funny too, especially the parts where people said out loud what they were doing and thinking (since nobody could tell a lie).

Anyways, now it got me thinking.. Are there any good lies? I mean people always say "I didn't tell you because it's for your own good". But what the hell do they know about one's good. What makes them the judge of one's life? I just don't get it. If you lied to a stranger or any unknown source, I would understand, but lying to someone close to you? Lying to someone you're supposedly love and care? That I don't understand.

Being lied to is no fun at all, especially being lied right to the face. That's a big NO for me. I just somehow can sense when I am being lied to, and I always give chances to people to tell me the truth that I already know, just to know how far I can trust that person. My friend once told me to ask a person three times, and if their answer is still the same, then that is it. So, when I asked three times and they still lied to me, then from that moment on, I will never trust that person again.

Trust for me is something precious. Yes. Precious as in treasured and valued. It's not something that you can simply get, it's not something that comes freely. Trust is something you earn, something you get with a price, but of course the price I am talking about here is not with money, you can't buy trust with money. You need to prove yourself worthy of being trusted. You need to earn one's confidence in you for him/her to trust you.

My brother once told me "lie to me once and I will never trust you again". Sadly, I did lied to him and I when he found out, I was really ashamed and from then on he was not like how he was with me before. Did I regret lying to him? Yes, I did. But I know better now, I know how high trust is valued, and once you break the trust, you will never get it back.

Because of that, today I too see things like how he sees. Once someone lies to me, I will never trust that person again, but unlike him, I ask three times, not once (being more lenient and fair) LOL! >.<"
