For those who think that they are nobody, You ARE somebody.And everyday begins the same
get up, go out come back again
same old, same old
a thousand faces pass you by
you never look into their eyes
you feel so ordinary, they feel so ordinary
[Chorus]:
Hey, everybody's someone, no matter where you come from
There's light in every single star
You're more than who you think you are
Hey, everybody's someone
whern it's hard to hold on
remember that you are not alone
this house is everybody's home
And everyday day we seem to chase
the perfect smile, the perfect face
same old, same old
for everyone who gets to shine
a million more are left behind
they feel so ordinary, you feel so ordinary
[Chorus] X 2
From a king to a common man
we're all part of a greater plan
there's light in every single star
you're more than who you think you are
[Chorus]
It's a really good song, that holds plenty of meaning. Everybody's someone, one should never think that he or she serves no purpose in life. But sadly, that's the mentality of many today.
But if you lament too much on the bad things in life, when will we ever have the time to enjoy the good ones? Wouldn't life be more mundane?

Friend: "You're a nice girl, lah, very mature, capable of deep-thought, even though it seems like you're very playful at times, i can see those qualities within you."I'd agree to a certain extent.
Maturity is within evreyone to a certain extent. How mature one is depends on how they think, act and problem solve. For me, I think deep, I think
ALOT. But How I act, I wouldn't dare say much.
Lately I've been thinking of how others look at me, be it at work, school or when i'm simply just walking down the streets.
I feel, I socialize with people I meet as much as I can because I want them to know that I am there, especially so at work because I feel quite left out in an all-guy's environment. Probably that's why the occassional crazy behaviours.
Some may see me as someone fun to be with in one side of the lamp, some may see me as a pure nutcase in the other.
People are so controversial. They never know what they want, Just like I do. We as humans can barely understand ourselves, let alone another person. What we may know of others may just be the superficial side of them.
Then another question pops into my mind, "
How can one who starts off as a child, who's thoughts and speech are so limited yet so pure, grow up to be someone so complicated?"On a heavier note, attachment's ending next friday, part of me wants to go due to the nature of the job, but the other part of me has already become attached to the people and the children there.
It makes me NOT want to leave =)

I had my assessment on Tuesday, and.. I Passed!
Well something to celebrate as all of us have been working so hard for it for the past month. =)
Met up with a good friend today, looks like working life is not easy at all, hearing all the trials and tribulations of the job.
Damn politics can get one really fast and furious.
This is what makes me wanna go on and study, but yet i'm put off by the distance that i have to travel, but of course, distance shouldn't be an issue for education, It's your future for goodness sake! Ha ha...
It's ironic to be thinking of people who have really hurt you bad, and have misused your trust in them. But yea, I guess i'd rather be alone for now, till I really heal from what you have caused.
You freaking sonofanass
For now i would prefer the company of friends who really love me for who I am, not someone who's a superficial loser.

I came across this guy on youtube recently, while viewing one of my favourite songs, "
Far Away" performed by Nickelback. He did an excellent piano rendition for this song of which you could view
here. The most amazing thing about him is that, he plays every song by ear! No sheets, nothing, just plain listening and reproducing on the piano. Brilliant, some people are, If only i could produce such a wonderful rendition. The one i came up with was really simple, but i'll be polishing it up as soon as time permits!
Oh and guess what, he's also made a piano version for Ciara's "
Like a boy" (The lyrics were up in the last post) which again, made my jaw drop. It was simply brilliant.
Here is his version. In fact i personally thought that he did better on this song!
Idol!
My blog looks pretty messed up at the moment, but will get it fixed up soon!

I came across this song on Youtube the other day, the music to it is really good, but when i zoomed into the lyrics, Gee-whiz, Ciara is a strong womanist! The words came out strong and really depicts how I feel[Verse: 1]Pull up your pants (Just Like Em')
Take out the trash (Just Like Em')
getting ya cash like em'
Fast like em'
Girl you outta act like ya dig (What I'm talkin' bout')
Security codes on everything
Vibrate so your phone don't ever ring (Joint Account)
And another one he don't know about
[Hook]Wish we could switch up the roles
And I could be that...
Tell you I love you
But when you call I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me?
Like where you be at?
Cause I'm out 4 in the morning
On the corner rolling
Doing my own thing, Oh
[Chorus]What if I? Had a thing on the side?
Made ya cry?
Would the rules change up?
Or would they still apply?
If I played you like a toy?
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy
[Guy Chopped & Screwed Voice]Can't be getting mad!
What You Mad?
Can't Handle that!
Can't be getting mad!
What you mad?
Can't handle that!
[Verse: 2]Girl go head and be... (Just Like Em')
Go run the streets (Just Like Em')
come home late say sleep like em'
Creep like em'
Front with ya friends
Act hard when you're with em' like em' (What)
Keep a straight face when ya tell a lie
Always keep an air-tight alibi (Keep Him In The Dark)
What he don't know won't break his heart
[Hook][Chorus]
[Guy Chopped & Screwed Voice]
[Bridge]If I was always gone
With the sun getting home (Would Ya Like That?)
Told you I was with my crew
When I knew it wasn't true (Would Ya Like That?)
If I act like you
Walk A mile off in yo shoes (Would Ya Like That?)
I'm messing with your head again
Dose of your own medicine
[Chorus][Guy Chopped & Screwed Voice][Outro]If I played you...Would yo like that?
Had friends...Would you like that?
never call?
Would you like that?
Hell naw
You wouldn't like that No!
[Half-Chorus]What if I made ya cry!
Would they still apply!
What if I... If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy!

It's been donky years since I posted my last post, there's so much to say, but as always, it's so difficult to start.
Attachment's been a great experience, I met brilliant people, absoloutely lovable children and also made good friends, but still, teaching is not what i'm really cut out for, and it's not where my interest lies either. But nurturing young ones is another part of life that one wouldn't wanna miss out, and i'm glad I was able to inspire and get to know the children in the class i'm taking.
Whilst at attachment, one of the girls doing attachment with me told me that her boyfriend's classmate passed away due to illness, which brings me back to the very thought of how fragile life really is. I noticed, as we grow older in years, we experience so much more. Be it death of someone we know, betrayal, and also a wide array of emotions that are indescribable. Probably that's why most of the time we don't speak of how we feel, maybe it's because we just don't know where to begin. As we grow, we don't verbalise as much as children do, where their intentions are pure and the emotions they know are the very basic ones such as being happy, sad or angry. I guess that's what growing up is all about, and also where wisdom begins to blossom.
No one ever said life would be an easy road to drive on. There are so many bumps, but yet there are also smooth routes. It just depends on which part of the road we've reached. It's just so unpredictable, and sometimes it's better to just let the road take you to where you would be going to.
Well, just another facet of life...
