I liked how the lyrics have a direct message to a specific person.
I got the impression that maybe the person who wrote this is talking to himself. It is sometimes useful to write down what you are thinking in a view point from someone else to make your thoughts clear. It’s not like have ever written it down, but I have done it in my head and. Well. It didn’t work out that well. But I guess for some people it does. The “MR.” that I like the most is the one of “Mr. Tiny, your dream is so big.”

Change

A: When I imagined that my life will be the repetition of the same thing everyday in the town that I live, I just couldn’t resist it. I know that it’s not about where you live. That it is the same everywhere. If you where in Tokyo, Oosaka, or New York. I know that it’s about me, myself.

B: Maybe yes, but I think changing place, will change the scenery you’ll see. There surely is people who can change by staying in one place. But not everyone. When you come to a dead end, just moving, or taking whatever action you want to make, can be a possible solution.

Sky-blue Hitchhiker, p.248-259


This line from the book Sky-blue Hitchhiker reminded me of my friend and my thoughts. I remembered the sensation, the tiredness I felt when I imagined myself doing the same thing everyday for the rest of the year. I tried to understand that these kind of normal and a little bit dull days were peaceful daily life called happiness, but apparently, it didn’t work. And I felt a little bit relieved when I read the part that said, “...but I think changing place, will change the scenery you’ll see.” I am really not sure how to describe this feeling, but I felt some kind of relaxation due to the thinking that I don’t need to feel bad for wanting a change, a drama in my life. It felt like a hot chocolate you drink in cold days, or better freezing days. Oh well, I would just need to conclude that my desire won my laziness to make an action.

Language

Language, is so vague and ambiguous, that even if you try really hard with sincerity to communicate with someone, there will always be a variance between the people you talk with. For example, when you use the word fish. One will think of a touch shark, and the other will imagine a goldfish. There is no way of arguing with this difference in the conception of the term. But unfortunately, we only have “language” to communicate. We just need to use this clumsy tool.


Sky-blue Hitchhiker, p.58




I always thought I would never be able to communicate with someone else completely. I thought that I would never be able to understand someone 100% and that no one would ever understand me 100%. So whenever I saw or heard about some kind of perfect unification in feelings, the ones that come out in friendship and love stories, I had this weird sensation, similar to the one that you feel when the puzzle pieces don’t much. But I didn’t know how to put those feelings into understandable phrases or words. And I really didn’t want to realize that I would never be able to grasp what the others were saying. Vice versa too, that no one would ever understand what I was saying. I probably felt that way strongly because I don’t have any first language. All the languages I know it’s so far away from complete, it’s like the distance between me and some other galaxy far far away. Even if I knew at least one language fairly well, I still wouldn’t have been able to express myself enough. Can you imagine how insecure you would feel if you haven't mastered any language? Not even one?

Well anyways, back to the axiom. I was so surprised and excited to physically see the idea I had over years. Watching the idea I couldn’t make it into a clear image, com into a simple phrase was just amazing.


By the way, I do know that my whole explanation and the quote are quite ironic. Since I’m saying, “Oh, it is impossible to communicate with some!” When I’m actually trying to express myself using the “words”, the tools to communicate, that I don’t believe it works.

Have I accomplished to be the “I”, I imagined being when I was small?
I am nervous and scared, but I don’t want to disappoint myself.

邂逅カタルシス – Encounter Catharsis?
By: Nightmare




This part of the lyric reminds me of a question that goes, “How many people have made their dreams come true?” You know when you were small, everyone wanted to be a soccer player or a baseball player and stuff right? But the people who actually become that are like one out of thousand people. And when I was smaller I always thought, “Oh, how sad it is that only few people out of millions of people can make their dreams come true. Will I be able to be part of the few people?” Not until this person told me that becoming exactly what you wished for means that your dream came true. She told me that working as something related to, let’s say soccer, is also making your dream come true. I thought that was just an excuse to make yourself feel better for not being able to accomplish what you wanted. But now, I think I kind of understand what she meant. One changes as time goes one. Your dream when you were small is not necessary the true wish for your whole life.


Another thing that this lyric made me think about was, “what was I thinking about my future when I was small?” or even “what is my future image of myself?” And honestly, I can’t think of anything. I just felt like grabbing a cloud. I only have a blank image. Not even an image. It’s just white… Oh well, I will figure it out sometime.

I tried to find a butterfly that looked less realistic.




“If things never changed there wouldn’t be any butterflies.”

Author Unknown.



I honestly don’t like butterflies, so I really don’t care if they didn’t exist. However, I guess that’s not the point of this quote.
Okay, so I totally agree with this unknown author about the importance of “changes”. The constant born of new events is what makes life fun I think. I haven’t live long enough to say things like, “Oh, life is all about blah blah blah,” or “Do I don’t know what to enjoy your life.” However, I think changing is important. The desire that you want to be better in whatever thing is the fuel to take action. As said in Bhagavad-Gita, we can’t avoid action because “acting to do nothing” is also an action. So whether we want it or not, there will always be a change. Unless there is something really odd happening to the world.
Nevertheless, change doesn’t necessary mean a development or improvement. It can also be something negative. So even though I am truly aware that a “change” is important and unavoidable, I sometimes want to believe in words such as “forever”, even if it’s one of the words that I detest. Well, these are the things that I want it to be forever.
1. Friendship
2. Love of any kind
3. Objectiveness / awareness
4. Joyfulness
5. My favorite band
6. Memories
7. etc.
Unfortunately, there is no forever in the world I live and so it’s just a waste of time to think about them.
Okay, I guess I kind of went away from the topic and is becoming to be dull and long. So I think I will just stop here. Thank you for reading it until the end to whomever who is reading this and goodbye.

Another picture of my cousin's cat. It has nothing to do with the post.But isn't she so adorable?


“Life is hard.
Life is brown.
Because remember, it’s always harder to smile than to frown.”

By Mali




What does this quote make you think?

Does it make you relax that you are not the only one suffering?
Does it make you nod?
Does it make you realize about yourself forcing a smile when you want to cry?
Does it make you want to laugh because you don’t want to believe that “life is hard”?
Does it make you rewind the actions you have taken in your life?
Does it make you want to spit out all your problems that keep you away from “smiling”?
Does it make your mind go blank?


Well, my “Does it make you” are beginning to show its bottom line. And nothing else comes up to my mind. So I think I will stop it right here. See you later.

“Brain doesn’t come out with an answer”
“Some people are not smart even though they have big brains.”

These are not really quotes actually, but it was what our science teacher said in class. I honestly didn’t expect any of these to come out from her mouth, so I just needed to write it down. I know that I am a nerd. You don’t need to say it. I like to take notes during class, usually.
Anyways, I like this quote even though it’s quite offensive to some people who don’t use their brains. After hearing those two lines, I concluded that my science teacher likes brains. Okay, let me write about how I felt.




Honestly, I was only surprised and impressed with such an offensive in some ways but so true thing said by my science teacher.


Another random but really cute picture of my cousin's cat.

natural SOFT morning glory

Natural SOFT morning glory.

So I have decided to do something really different this time. I mean for the writing blog.
And what I came up with was write a short story based on a phrase I found on an eraser.

“Natural SOFT Morning Glory”

I would just warn whoever who is reading this thing that it will be random and probably not funny.


Once upon a time, when people still believed in angels, there was this human boy called Sethuis. Have you ever heard of that village called Allegora? That one made of crystals? No?... well anyways, he was living in Allegora with his sister. His parents have disappeared long time ago, when the angels came down on earth.
…………..

………….

………………

Okay, I am not an original person, neither a creative person. And nothing came up to my mind in this past…10 minutes, so I think I will do something else for the writing blog.

I want one beautiful past.

(This is just a random picture of my cousin's cat. Is that my cat was just passing by my room, so I was like how about I put a beautiful picture of my cousin's cat!!)




“I want one beautiful past…a past that I can be proud of! Only one is fine! I would be able to change from that point in my life! I will surely change!!!”

The King of Nabari, 2nd volume.


Well, this man wanted to change his past, so that he can change his future. He wanted an occasion to start a new life.
Anyways, this line suddenly came up in my mind while I was eating. I guess I was really bored, and I started asking myself, “Do I have any special past that I am especially proud of?” But I couldn’t think of any. I mean, I have accomplished certain things. Like in academics, in my hobbies or overcoming certain struggles. However, they are not something I am proud about. I think anyone has something like that. I believe it’s something that you accomplish by just breathing.
So, now I began to wonder, why did this man end up being like this? And the answer I came up was because he cared about the opinion of other too much. If I was always reproached by the people around me I would also probably end up like him. So I feel really grateful for the people I live with.

VIERNES!!

Viernes

By: Mauricio Rodriguez and Juan Vicente Zambrano

Viernes yo quiero viernes
Quiero viernes pa parrandear
Viernes yo quiero viernes
Quiero viernes pa ir a rumbear
Friday yo quiero Friday
Quiero Friday para bailar
Friday yo quiero Friday
Quiero Friday pa cha cha cha



So, this is a song that my friend gave it to me…last year for secret santa I think. And what this song says in general is that “I want a Friday!!” I guess most of you already know it since you know Spanish…but this is supposed to be an ENGLISH writing blog, so I will just write it to make it seem like I’m actually doing an English work.
Well, I like to hum this song in a Friday because it makes me…realize it’s really a Friday and that there is no school tomorrow. It’s like “Huh! You!!(←the school) have no control over me tomorrow!!! IN YOUR FACE!!!” …..Not really but…you get the idea right?? Yes? Yeah??.....ok no…forget it.
Anyways, I sometimes remember this song in a Tuesday and that is no good. I realize I am just starting my week, my long week, far far away from my Friday. Which is quite depressing in a sense.
But actually, Friday is not my favorite day of the whole week. The day I most like is Saturday. Because the happiness or joy from the day before still resounds inside my head. And also because I have one more day to do whatever I want to.

So, what is your favorite day?
