Life Goes On

Lyrics: Mica Arisaka
Compose: Yuki Kajiura
Arrange: Nishikawa Susumu, Yuki Kajiura
Every time I look up into the tear-filled sky,
A fickle wave of blue binds my chest.
If it's destiny, I will leave behind the days
That I've fought till the end of sorrow.
Life Goes On, passionately.
As long as I am alive,
Even if I were to lose sight of my real self,
Life Goes On, I want to protect it.
My heart was shattered,
And in these eyes that have seen true sorrow,
Love is overflowing.
The flowers that bloom in winter paints a misty landscape.
"Strength is tenderness" I sang.
For what and for who
Do you continue to fight for now?
Life Goes On, be reborn.
If we unknowing meet again,
I don't want to lose you a second time, but
Life Goes On. In this era,
As long as I am given life,
I catch it with these arms and this chest.
Believe in love.
Life Goes On, passionately.
As long as I am alive,
I want to share this light with you again someday.
Life Goes On, I want to protect it.
Send your prayers towards the sky.
In these eyes that have seen true sorrow,
Love is overflowing.

back on the theme of 'time' today... i believe that at times, all of us take the other person's time for granted... i'm not saying that i'm not guilty with respect to this notion, but hey... it's something that does happen, doesn't it?? and today, i will talk more about it. remember the last time i talked about giving someone your 'time'? what happens when you take for granted the time that one gives to the other? what happens then? i guess that this is something that no one would know about, unless the person (A) who sets the time aside for the other person (B) at the expense of something, unless speaks about it in the open. i guess that when u happen to the 'victim' (the one who finds that your time is not appreciated), sometimes you only have option to take a deep breath, give a deep sigh and then get one with life. for who would you be able to voice your frustration? so to whoever who reads this, i hope that you do appreciate the person who allows you to spend time with. as well as those who you had to cancel the date with. just know that you would have firstly dashed the hopes of the person that wanted and had given time to spend with you. then know that the person would have been able to use the time to do something else, but he/she decided to dedicate that time to you, but for whatever reason, that was not to be so... know that at the end of the day, it's not as simple as just a cancelling an outing, but know that it amounts to a lot more... a lot more than that would can be bought, more than that which could be expressed in words and more than, even at times, anything in the world. Period.

hmmm... kinda getting restless in class now... it's chinese new year eve and there should not be school in the first place! hahah... but apparently, things do not really turn out to be that which you what them to be. that goes for other things in life too... haiz... so let's make the best out of it, shall we not? haha...
hmm... what topic shall i talk about today?? think think...
let's talk about time...
time is not somthing that you can hold on to... it's something that regardless of how much one may want to have control over it, you may find that at one time or another it would once again slip by, into nothingness. time, at the end of the day is a commodity, to a certain degree, something that one can trade. how should i put this, you can give 'time' to someone if you want to or deprive someone of your 'time'. so in a sense, it is something that one can give or take... it's got a opportunity cost to it too... but man has always been one that would rather hold onto time for one's sake. be it to do one's stuff or to just let the time pass away. but be it time wasted or time that is used to the max, we find that at one time or another, time would have caught up with us, and that we are old soon enough. this is very much apparent at birthday's if you notice. with every 'Happy Birthday', it seems to yell back at you that 'You're one year older!' not that it is a bad thing, but when you get older, this 'birthday' thing seems to be more of a drag, rather than that of a celebration.
and apperently, now, my time is used wasted here i guess, waiting for the tutor to come over to check on my work. but i think, the most important thing that i have learnt, is to make full use fo time. no no... don't think that i am the most hardworking person in the work, or the most organised. but rather, it is the use of time, when time is to be wasted that i am best at using it. confused?? hahah... let me give you an example.... like now, i'm waiting for the tutor to come, hence i blog, hence i make use of time. or... when i'm waiting for a person to come at the mrt, i read, hence i make use of time... blah blah blah...
it's all the small small stuff that you do that mean more i guess... at least that's how i feel it is. to recieve a huge present on occasions are of course good, but if the small small things during the other days that matter more to me. people tend to look at the apparent/big things too much, and at times, do not put the smaller things into perspective. the best things are in the finer things and i find that time, is the one of the finer things in life. the willingness to give time to a person, no matter how long it may be, is a finer thing in life. cos, like i said, time is a commodity, and to give that 'time' to a person means much.
but like all things that are good, 'time' is something that, if shared with another person, needs the other to be willing to give the 'time' back. imagine, how are you to give time to a person if he/she is not willing to give time to you? interesting notion, no??
time and tide waits for no man... but one's time can be spend waiting for another... that one's time can be set aside for another... that time, as much as one wants to, may not be spent with other, if the two hands do not clap in unison. that my friend is time...
