This street is crumbling, we will loose our dear home soon. You and I are not complaining, freeze the tears in an instant. Streets are destroyed, my heart won't give up so easily. Skys full of snow, we will face it with a smile
I'm holding your hands, crossing the city street corners. Even at the end of the story, we will, never cower. The scenery changes, reminds us again of the lost forests. Sound of leaves falling, can't stop us, from caring.
就算是世界要崩潰
親愛的我也絕不會落淚
不放棄愛過的那種感覺
珍惜著有你記憶的一切
Even if the world collapses My dear, I will never shed my tears Won't give up those feelings that I love Treasure all my memories of you
就算是世界要傾斜
親愛的我也絕不說離別
儘管末日威脅再強烈
有愛就不累
Even if the world becomes slanted My dear, I will never say good bye [Even if] the threat of the end gets stronger with love, [I'm] not tired

New-ish song from Jay. Love the message brought out through the MV. Reminds us that no matter what we're doing, that our time here on this earth is short, that we should treasure the time we have with each other. Hope you love the translation on there.
Its been awhile since I've posted. A couple of things. One being that I had moved back to Hong Kong for a job. Second possibly is that I haven't found a song that affected me in many ways. There have been some good new Jay Chou ones, but I wanted to share this oldie instead.
鄭秀文 唯獨你是不可取替
作詞：梁芷珊 作曲：Nakayama Miho/Useugi Shou/Oda Tetsuro 編曲：Edward Chan/King Kong
If I will loose everything in front of me today, including all that I may earn Only you are irreplaceable, you are everything in my life Had I knew that I was lucky enough to be in love with you, then I should have tired harder for the future from the beginning I actually know that this is once in a lifetime, for the rest of my life, let me keep you, in love forever
I've heard that there are many loves, that have no results and leave the hurt lamenting Made me avoid them intentionally, is that I'm not brave enough to believe in real love. But you spared nothing and treated me truly, and made me feel surprised. Let me sacrifice to be loved in the same way Cheer from all around
其實我知道是可一不可再 下半生准我留住你一直相愛
I actually know that this is once in a lifetime, for the rest of my life, let me keep you, in love forever
PS. I wasn't as Sammi's concert, maybe I should have. This is because I've been listening to Sammi's songs for the past few weeks, and I miss a particular someone.
ima watashi no negaigoto ga kanau naraba tsubasa ga hoshii kono senaka ni tori no you ni shiroi tsubasa tsukete kudasai
If I can get one wish To come true right now, I want a pair of wings Please grant me white wings On my back like a bird
kono oozora ni tsubasa wo hiroge tonde yukitai yo kanashimi no nai jiyuu na sora e tsubasa hatamekase yukitai
In this huge sky I wanna Spread my wings and fly Towards the free sky without any sadness I wanna flap my wings And go
kodomo no toki yume mita koto ima mo onaji yume ni miteiru
I still dream of those things That I've dreamed about when I was little
kono oozora ni tsubasa wo hiroge tonde yukitai yo kanashimi no nai jiyuu na sora e tsubasa hatamekase
In this huge sky I wanna Spread my wings and fly Towards the free sky without any sadness I wanna flap my wings
kono oozora ni tsubasa wo hiroge tonde yukitai yo kanashimi no nai jiyuu na sora e tsubasa hatamekase yukitai
In this huge sky I wanna Spread my wings and fly Towards the free sky without any sadness I wanna flap my wings And go
Have been obsessing about this song since I watched Eva 2.0 @ Metro. Lots of things happening at home, at church, and AE. Life is so full of drama its NOT even funny. But I guess everyone will mourn and eventually move on... eventually. Stuck with a lot of shit, got burned at the stake, but most things are working out okay. I even got OpenBravo POS installed at work. If I can customize it properly, then I'm almost done. Porting a copy of it to Yuu would be awesome too!
Kouki Nagata was born on Feb 5th. My boss has been on maternity leave since Jan 31 or so. So I've started to take on some of the administrative stuff at work too. Which doesn't help the stress levels, but I'm managing.
Mama said, don't sweat the small stuff But my mission found me, I can't sleep If you say, you need some techniques when scolding someone I will add a melody, so that you will think its, super cool* My gun, won't be filled with ammo So relax, no one will fall I filmed the Green Hornet, didn't need a double Because confidence is the paint that I draw with
I did a lot of things, but not for the reasons you're thinking of Filmed a show all for friendship and the dream between brothers The ratings are testing my might dreams Because my life needs another illusion* I don't know when I became a so-called role model The side being stalked by the paparazzi still pretends to be apologetic, so?
The lyrics that I sing needs to be cultured Because they could be used as curriculum Can CNN wait till my English is better before my interview Can I re-take the photo for the cover of Times Magazine Watch my image all the time Watch what I eat or else I won't look like my wax figure in Madame Tussauds' There are a lot of handprints and footprints at Hollywood's Grauman's Chinese Theatre When can you see my footprint*
Chorus If Superman can fly, then let me take a break in the skys Look down at this world, will make me feel better Saving the Earth is tiring, even though I'm tired, but I still will Don't ask if I have cried, because Superman doesn't tear
Have to get the title of "Best Male Singer" for my singing Can't only have "Best Newcomer" for my films It would be rude if you don't go to the awards ceremony If you attend then it means you care alot When you receive a prize you're moved to tears And people will say that you are over-dramatic If you act all cool* about it people will say that you're arrogant If you are born with this expression They might even blame your mom At the end of the night, someone else got the prize But you also give sufficient claps and smiles Can't drive a car that too good, live in a pad that's too high* I am still a singer-producer, so I need to be good Albums must be first immediately Movies must sell good I can only say that being Superman is hard
Went to the Jay Chou concert in Vancouver. It was awesome. Got my seat upgraded to section 109, row 9, seat 109. WIN!
Loved this song. Not because it reflects what Jay thinks of his own life, but also some of what I think about my life too. Yay for self-reflection. And no, I don't think I'm Superman, but more like, everyone is someone else's Superman. I'm saving someone's ass while someone else is saving my ass. Sometimes, we call get tired, but we still muster on with the grace of God.
Came across this song on a friend's facebook account. Can't stop dancing to it. So I thought I'd share it with you ;)

Just came back from Church Summer Camp. So exhausted - sleep probably would have helped. NOT over-eating probably would help too! LOL XD Probably gained a couple of lbs. Okay, just came from the scale - 2 lbs >_<. It was awesome, I gained a lot of personal insights and religious insights. It doesn't help me decide what the heck I should do, but at least gives me more info. Well, the rest I lift up to God. There really isn't much that can be done at certain points.
Immediately after the drive from Cedar Springs Camp Grounds in Sumas, I met up with Wilson and several aunties and uncles from church and went to 讚美之泉 SOP's newest concert to promote their 14th album - 不要放棄, 滿有能力. Another awesome performance - hallelujah.
Mom's coming down hard on me with my career future. But she's also packing my day with chores to clean up the house. I only have 24 hours in a day. There's only so much balancing I can do. I'm rather confused (and as such, pissed off) at the messages she's trying to send. You tell me to get my act together, yet you don't give me time to, and instead, actively sabotage it.
Watched Harry Potter 6 with Mitch on Aug 30th. As a standalone movie, its okay, 7. As part of a series, probably 7, possibly 8. Compared to the book, probably 5, 6.
The movie was shorter than I expected, a lot of the scenes within the book was omitted. It also blatantly changed certain aspects of the inherent "myth" or "system of believe" of the HP world-scape. For example, they allowed Dumbledore to exercise his right to Apparate and Disapparate within Hogwarts school grounds. From book 1, day 1, they described that it is impossible to do so. In order to suspend that, they had to lift it within the Great Hall for their Apparate/Disapparate lessons. Them completely omitting to mention their Apparate/Disapparate tests also, which I wonder how they're going to fix for the 7th movie. Additionally, the hiding of the spellbook also coincides with the discovery of the location of the Ravenclaw diadem. I guess they can have Ginny fix that, since they had Luna rescue Harry from the Hogwarts train. So yeah, now you know why I didn't like the movie that much. I can handle the suspension of believe and let them get away with some artistic freedom, but they changed the inherent storyline at multiple points which is going to be a bitch to fix for movie 7, or they continue to deviate from the storyline and just fudge it. But as a series, it's probably fine; you just have to accept that they won't bother to follow the true storyline much. As a standalone, well, it would not so well, as it has a lot of backstory that you need to know first. Otherwise, sound/music is fine (nothing too spactacular or worthwhile), art and visual was good, CG was good, I have to say that the camera angle cuts were done very well. Dramatic buildup was done very well.
If I find a song, I'll post it, otherwise, I'm still trying to translate and fix the various crappy translations I found online for "Into the Cosmos with you". If I do post it, its probably going to be one from the new CD.
Definition of a tongue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue. Why mention tongue you ask? Well ask away, but I'm in no way obligated to answer. :P
Aug 25th, 2009; 12:20am; Nassau Dr.; in the front seats of my car; Minxzone CD. Just finished watching an oldie: Space Runaway Ideon. Now I know why people compare Neon Genesis Evangelion with Ideon. The story setup and psychological analysis is rather similar, all the way to the shock value and the ending. The extended alternate ending also doesn't hurt. However, Eva does extend the introspective themes a lot more than Ideon. While Ideon brushes over that and focuses more on one's perspective and intent, and treatment of each other. Ideon also defines the intend of the Ideon much more than Eva does with the explanation of the Eva or God. While its good to define that for Ideon, as it further proves its point; however, in Eva, that would ruin the many potential interpretations. The huge robot fights? Well, they're not spectacular; considering the timeframe, they're okay. And to be honest, as with both animes, they're more plot devices that provide little action and drama. Okay, Eva's robot fights are graphically more pleasing to the eys. And like most older animes, Ideon has a lot of recycled frames and scenes. But they did change the backgrounds accordingly! For example, even though they show the exact same action sequence from the exact same perspectives, when fighting in the skys, they show you a blue sky with cloudes in the background; when fighting in space, they show you a star-filled backdrop! So props to them for repeating scenes without repeating the wrong background! Now music, its not great, but I can't stop listening to the ending sequence now. Sorta dramatic. Draft posted below, with huge mistakes and no English translation.
Edit1: Now that I've begun to correct the romanji and starting to transliterate the lyrics, its actually rather romantic. No wonder I can't stop listening to it. :P

たった一つの 星に捨てられ tatta hitotsu no hoshi ni suterare 終わりない旅 君と歩むと owarinai tabi kimi to ayumu to いつくしみ ふと分けあって itsukushimi fu towakeatte 傷を舐め合う 道化芝居 kizu wo nameau douke shibai
I've been abandoned by merely the stars
Walking along on an endless journey with you
Unintentionally sharing our affection
Feeling each other's wounds as we clown around
コスモス宇宙を かけぬけて kosumosu sora wo kakenukete 祈りを今君のもとへ inori wo ima kimi nomotohe コスモス宇宙を かけぬけて kosumosu sora wo kakenukete 祈りを今君のもとへ inori wo ima kimi nomotohe

I'll send a prayer your way

Its certainly easy to separate
Everyday wears on without you there
Thinking about it will suddenly have
Tears drying on my skin

That to continue to live, you are sad

Wow, another awesome year at AE. VCEC was awesome. Heh, never thought I'd be able to pull off my position again with some grace. Nominations was fun, elections was, "interesting" for lack of a better word. So now, I'm the Director of Operations 2010. Yay? But now I'm dealing with re-organizing OPS as I have to deal with the slack that has been happening since a couple of years back. We're heavily expanding back into what we should have be doing. Got a "lovely" draft org chart going also:
Welcome to the Crazy Train! Also, if interested in any of the positions, feel free to email "ops @ anime evolution.com"
Thank God that heat wave is over, but now its like 20, 25 degrees. Normally, I would have called this comfortable. But its been cloudy and rainy - not really great weather.
Still jobless. Its been awhile. At the very least, at least the job posting are picking back up slightly. Though I'm wondering how many of them are actually data mining.
Church summer camp is moving along. Singsperation rehearsals are... more productive than usual. And I'm finally getting the hang of this thing called "chords" on the piano. Its been challenging, and let's not even talk about keeping tempo of any sort as I'm still figuring out the fingering for most of the major and now minor chords. Everything is taking forever, but considering I'm covering years of topics and fingers with minimal practice, this is to be expected.
Plantz VS Zombies is hiliarious. Addictively so! Aion: Tower of Eternity is in beta. I want in! The preview graphics look sooo pretty.
Now, explantion of why I've been listening to JT's Losing My way. Okay, there is no reason. I got this sudden urge to listen to his songs, so I did; and now I'm stuck listening to it if I don't have something else I want to listen to. Okay, that's a lie, I am rather confused at the moment both in the professional direction and a personal direction. I pray to God to show me the way that I should go.
PS. I never knew a simple statement on FB would attract that much attention. LOL XD
Stuck listening to Justin Timberlake's Losing My Way. Don't know why~
Justin Timberlakes - Losing My Way
Hey excuse me
Hi my name is Bob and I work at my job I make forty-some dollars a day I used to be the man in my hometown 'til I started to lose my way It all goes back to when I dropped out at school Having fun, I was living the life But now I got a problem with that little white rock See I can put down the pipe
And...
And it's breaking me down Watching the world spin round While my dreams fall down Is anybody out there?
It is breaking me down No more friend around... And my dreams fall down... Is anybody out there?
Can anybody out there hear me? 'Cause I can't seem to hear myself Can anybody out there see me? 'Cause I can't seem to see myself... There's gotta be a heaven somewhere Can you save me from this hell? Can anybody out there feel me? 'Cause I can't seem to feel myself
Losing my way Keep losing my way... Keep losing my way... Can you help me find my way? Losing my way Keep losing my way Keep losing my way... Can you help me find my way?
Now you gotta understand I was a family man I would have gave anything for my own But I couldn't get a grip on my new found itch So I ended up all alone I remember where I was when I got my first buzz See I thought I was living the life And the craziest thing is I'll probably never know the color of my daughter's eyes
And it is breaking me down Watching the world spin round While me dreams fall down Is anybody out there?
It is breaking me down No more friend around... And my dreams fall down... Is anybody out there?
Can anybody out there hear me? 'Cause I can't seem to hear myself Can anybody out there see me? 'Cause I can't seem to see myself There's gotta be a heaven somewhere Can you save me from this hell? Can anybody out there feel me? 'Cause I can't seem to feel myself.
Losing my way Keep losing my way Keep losing my way Can you help find my way? Losing my way Keep losing my way Keep losing my way Can you help me find my way?
Oh my god please forgive me (father hear my pray) 'Cause I know I've done some wrong in this life If I could do it all again Have just one more chance To take all those wrongs and make them right
Can anybody out there hear me? 'Cause I can't seem to hear myself Can anybody out there see me? 'Cause I can't seem to see myself There's gotta be a heaven somewhere Can you save me from this hell Can anybody out there feel me? 'Cause I can't seem to feel myself.
Can anybody out there hear me? 'Cause I can't seem to hear myself Can anybody out there see me? 'Cause I can't seem to see myself There's gotta be a heaven somewhere Can you save me from this hell Can anybody out there feel me? 'Cause I can't seem to feel myself
Losing my way Keep losing my way Keep losing my way Can you help me find my way? Losing my way Keep losing my way Keep losing my way
If you guessed correctly what my inspiration was, I'd gladly speak with you. If you guessed incorrectly. You get the bonus prize of one joke in contempt.
I was reminded by a friend today of "All I Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten". It originally was a book, but I never read the book, instead, watched a highschool play rendition of it. It was funny, and definitly ture. The golden rules of life, are learnt young. And humoursly, not only can they be extrapolated to form golden rules in the adult world, but the same is true to the bible's 10 Commendments. How interesting.
Lets go with something... weirder today... still from the Twilight OST, but its a bonus track. From a twisted love-hate-anger scene, where Edward sucks out Bella's blood. The full song actually hasn't been released, only the first verse has been sung by Robert Pattinson. It, doesn't exactly reflect my mood of angst and conflict, but close enough.
She was standing there by the broken tree Her hands were all twisted she was pointing at me I was damned by the light coming out of her eyes She spoke with a voice that disrupted the sky She said ' Come on over to the bitter shade, I will wrap you in my arms and you'll know you've been saved' Let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign.
I was out for a drink in a soho bar The air was smoked out liked a cheap cigar She rose out of her seat like a painted ghost She was the woman that I wanted the most As she reached for my arm I gave her my hand I said 'Lay me down easy let me understand' Let me sign, let sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign.
As I walked through the door she was still in my head As I entered the room she was laid there in bed She reached out for me all twisted in black I was on my way down, never coming back let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign. let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign.
