The future roads :-)

Fair is everything that life carpets before us as a future. The only trouble is that, whatever we may dream or plan, it is uncertain, dim and perhaps the result beyond all predictions. So then how would you term it, when you head on but you can't really see which way have you taken to reach that final destination you're supposed to be at? Thrilling, adventurous or frightening? As for me, it is neither of these, to complete defining that feeling. I feel it just as blank as a stare... :-)

Stranger in Moscow - MJ

Watch it on:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfwccN7_ufI

 I was wandering in the rain
Mask of life, feelin' insane
Swift and sudden fall from grace
Sunny days seem far away
Kremlin's shadow belittlin' me
Stalin's tomb won't let me be
On and on and on it came
Wish the rain would just let me

How does it feel (How does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you're alone
And you're cold inside

Here abandoned in my fame
Armageddon of the brain
KGB was doggin' me
Take my name and just let me be
Then a begger boy called my name
Happy days will drown the pain
On and on and on it came
And again, and again, and again...
Take my name and just let me be

How does it feel (How does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel (How does it feel now)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you're alone
And you're cold inside

How does it feel (How does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel (How does it feel now)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you're alone
And you're cold inside

Like stranger in Moscow
Lord have mercy
Like stranger in Moscow
Lord have mercy
We're talkin' danger
We're talkin' danger, baby
Like stranger in Moscow
We're talkin' danger
We're talkin' danger, baby
Like stranger in Moscow
I'm livin' lonely
I'm livin' lonely, baby
Stranger in Moscow

Missing you, Michael :-(

It seems that the world has finally given some love to Michael. I say this in the light of the eventful one year that has just passed after the Legend left us forever. There has not been a single day without touching a news or memoir on MJ ever since the black day that I lament. To love and to do things in memory of a lost beloved is sensible I agree, but wouldn't loving and understanding him when he was alive be the best we could ever have gifted him? The past is gone yeah, I know but I just wanted to turn it inside out again...With all these movie productions, album re-releases, memoirs, dedications and television broadcasts of his music and what nots ushering incessantly, I think that Michael must now be smiling; and I really hope he'd always be. He was a Man who exuded blood through his music, instead of tears for all the scandals and accusations. I do not want to meddle with the truth of the things that I as his distant listener have heard and known. Good or not whether these thoughts are, I really don't know. I ponder on this because the world had indeed once failed to give him all this, while he lived and loved to live. I, as a girl who grew all my years up listening to him, attached so sentimentally and emotionally to his music, wish to imagine how elated and affirmed he as a Person- and not just as a Classic Musician- would have felt, had he then received half of the love as of now, rather than half of the monetary gains that his all-time-hits bag now.. And it is then I ask with a sigh, why is it always that we fail to see the worth of a person while he is with us, and only start paining over his loss when it's too late to be undone? Michael Jackson is irreplaceable and the void is felt so badly...But I assert its true: he still lives- through his moon-walking music, our memories, and the love I had for him unsaid...

I miss you, and I love you, Michael...


 This song of yours, I sing for you...

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"

Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben...

Pearls of love

The distant lamps in pearl, white and gold
Necklacing the misty horizon winked
At the girl on train by the window;
The full moon didn't miss her eyes,
He mirrored and glowed her glances
And sojourned with her all night;
The stars decked the romance well
As the cool breeze lulled her sleepy eyes,
And she fell into the fathoms of dreams...

You feel God the nearest, when you are the farthest from the world!

Blackberry is not so black then uh!

"Do what you love, love what you do!"

The quote is much familiar now because Blackberry has taken it as its new motto. But truly, it fills with a new zest to work on your dreams, doesn't it?
Blackberry is not so black then uh!

Tailpiece:

Jeff Mallett, who is supposed to have originally uttered these words, did so in this way:

"Do what you love, love what you do, leave the world a better place and don't pick your nose."

God's ways are not our ways, His ways are always the best.

Life is never smooth always, though we all would love it the other way. When but life goes "bad" and "wrong", we need to re-think. If you believe that God has created you not by an accident, but by a mighty plan, then you must have already experienced and felt the following thoughts. I'm just re-affirming my faith in the power of my Redeemer in this note.

The Lord is always there to take care of you, no matter how life goes -white or black, fair or dark. Things do happen in fact in His supervision and vigil. Even when Job was put to test by satan, it was by His permission. God permits trials in our life along with times of fair weather. When He promises that "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5), He means to abide with us no matter where and how we are. This promise is eternal. The only condition is that you have to believe Him completely, trust and have faith in His Love, and live Holy. When once you recognize His abundant love that cares for and goes with you always, you will never look back or leave His side either. When but you enter into a true relationship with God, all your selfish interests fade away. Even as you pray, you mostly always forget about your own list of requests, because you get filled and anointed with God's own Holy Spirit. Oh, what a privilege! Your range of thinking widens gradually, and you experience something you've never felt before: a feeling of identification and kinship with the whole of the universe. When God touches you, and when "anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (II Corinthians 5:17). This doesn't also mean that the road of life is gonna be comfortable just because God is with you. Job walked with God and He with him. Yet his life became miserable, which ultimately let his faith to become more strong spiritually and prove his loyalty to God. Even St. Paul had his life never cozy though he had the presence of God's Spirit in him.
"And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure."
(2 Corinthians 12:7)
We should remember that being with God and experiencing His love means much beyond than what our feeble human minds can comprehend. Walking with God means that you are voluntarily preparing yourself to take the Cross and follow Him, not stepping in front of Him nor staying behind. This is evidently something which is not very easy, which requires His grace. But definitely we are assured that even in the most painful moments of trials and tribulations, where the world's power fails, God's grace begins. He is there to lift you up from the deepest abyss that you have fallen in, and save you. His unfading love is the reason why He gave His only begotten Son to die for our sins and save us from eternal death. When you think life goes wrong, or when you think "this is it", believe He is always there seeing what you're going through. Psalms 23 asserts, "though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."

This is not a fairytale or a myth, for I myself has felt the unending love God has been showering upon me, in all the walks of my life. God's ways are "just and true", His works are always "great and marvelous". We read in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10: "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searchest all things, yea, the deep things of God.".
God's ways are not our ways, but His ways are always the best.
