it’s been a while since i post an entry on SV.
not that i don’t have any access to the internet or something. everyday, i’ve been facing the computer for at least 6 hours. i eat and breath computer, you can say. i guess im too busy. or just procrastinating…
lately i’ve been bombarded with melancholic songs…
this one, is shared by Kimura-san…
it really isn’t a sad song… but i interpret it as one.
Sen no Yoru wo Koete
Aqua Timez
Aisaretai demo aisou to shinai
Sono kurikaeshi no naka wo samayotte
Boku ga mitsukatta kotae wa hitotsu kowakutatte kizutsuitatte
Suki na hito ni wa suki na tsutaerunda
“I want you to love me, but I don’t think you will.”
I wander around as I repeat this to myself
It’s the only answer I have, even if I’m scared of getting hurt.
I’ll say “I love you” to the one I love
Anata ga boku wo aishiteru ka aishitenai ka
Nante koto wa mou docchi demo ii n da
Donna ni negai nozomou ga
Kono sekai ni wa kaerareru mono ga takusan aru darou
Sou soshite boku ga anata wo aishiteru to iu jijitsu dake wa
Dare ni mo kaerareru shinjitsu dakara
Do you love me or not?
I don’t care what the answer is, I just need to know!
No matter how badly I desire to be with you
There are many unchangeable things in this world
and my love for you can’t be stopped by anyone
Chorus 1:
Sen no yoru wo koete anata ni tsutaetai
Tsutaenaka naranai koto ga aru
Aisaretai demo aisou to shinai
Sono kurikaeshi no naka wo samayotte
Boku ga mitsukatta kotae wa hitotsu kowakutatte kizutsuitatte
Suki na hito ni wa suki tte tsutaeru n da
Kimochi wo kotoba ni suru no wa kowai yo demo
Suki na hito ni wa suki na tsutaeru n da
As 1000 nights pass, I long to tell you
I have to let you know
“I want you to love me, but I don’t think you will.”
I wander around as I repeat this to myself
It’s the only answer I have, even if I’m scared of getting hurt.
I’ll say “I love you” to the one I love
Putting these feelings into words is so scary
but I’ll say “I love you” to the one I love
Kono hiroi sekai de meguri au yorokobi wo kotoba jya ii arawasenai ne
Dakara bokutachi wa hohoemi
Iro azayaka ni sugiru aki wo doremi de utatte
Fuyu wo se ni haru no komorebi wo machi
Atarashiku umare kawaru dareka wo mamoreru youni to
The happiness we chance upon in our lives can’t be expressed in words
That’s why we can only smile
Why we sing “do re mi” among the vivid autumn colors
With winter at our backs, and the spring sunbeams peeking through the leaves
as to protect someone who’s just been reborn
Chorus 2:
Kita michi to yukisaki furikaereba itsudemo okubyou na me wo shite ita boku
Mukiaitai demo sunao ni narenai
Massugu ni aite wo aisenai hibi wo
Kurikaeshite wa hitoribocchi wo iyagatte
Ano hi no boku wa mukizu na mama de hito wo aisou to shite ita
As I looked at the road I’d traveled and the path ahead,
my eyes were filled with cowardice
I wanted to look into your eyes, but was afraid I wouldn’t be honest
I didn’t want to know that you didn’t love me
and live the rest of my days alone
That day, I kept on loving you without getting hurt
Sen no yoru wo koete ima anata ni ai ni yukou
Tsutaenaka naranai koto ga aru
Aisaretai demo aisou to shinai
Sono kurikaeshi no naka wo samayotte
Boku ga mitsukatta kotae wa hitotsu kowakutatte kizutsuitatte
Suki na hito ni wa suki na tsutaeru n da
Sono omoi ga kanawanakutatte suki na hito ni suki na tsutaeru
Sore wa kono sekai de ichiban suteki na koto sa
As 1000 nights pass, I long to tell you
I have to let you know
“I want you to love me, but I don’t think you will.”
I wander around as I repeat this to myself
It’s the only answer I have, even if I’m scared of getting hurt.
I’ll say “I love you” to the one I love
Even if my feelings aren’t returned, I can say “I love you” to the one I love
And that’s the most beautiful thing in the world.
i also like this song, but whenever i hear this plays, my heart goes cracking and i feel… melancholic. i wonder, am i the only one feeling this? *sigh*
as requested by tornee… here goes.

What Should I Do
(Otto Kajo English Translation)
When I let you go one step further, my eyes overflow with tears
When you walk away one step further, more tears are falling
As you move away to a place where I can’t reach you, even if I reach out my hand
I can’t catch you, I can only cry
What should I do? What should I do? You’re leaving
What should I do? What should I do? You’re leaving me
I love you, I love you, I cry out to you
But you can’t hear me, because I am only shouting in my heart
All day long I try to forget you, but I think of you again
All day long I try to say goodbye, but I think of you
Although you went to a place where I can’t hold you, even if my hand reaches out for you
I can’t find you, I can only cry
What should I do? What should I do? I can only see you
What should I do? What should I do? I love you only
I am sorry, I am sorry, can you hear me?
Please come back to me, if it’s not you, I can’t go on
What should I do? What should I do? I only have you
What should I do? What should I do? You’re leaving
What should I do? What should I do? You’re leaving me alone
I love you, I love you, I cry out to you
But you can’t hear me because I am only shouting in my heart
im getting crazy listening to this song over and over.
i just can’t help it. the melody’s so sweet, it breaks my heart. and the lyrics, goodness! makes me wanna cry… ok. so this song is making me like… wistful.
one of the OST of the korean series “you’re beautiful”, the song has two versions. one sung by go minam (on ep.7, i believed) and the other by taekyung hyung-nim. but i like tk more. haha. biased.

Without words (Nothing said) Lyrics:
english translation
Should not have done anything
Should have ignored everything
Like something I couldn’t see
Like something I shouldn’t have seen
Maybe I should have never gazed like this
I should have run away and
Act like I wasn’t listening
Like something I couldn’t hear
It’s something I should never hear
Maybe I should have never heard your voice
Without a word, you taught me how to believe
Without a word, you gave me my everything
But even as the breath you left behind remains
You’re always running far away
Without a word, my heart is leaving again
Without a word, my heart has thrown me away
Now how can I reply? This voice of mine alone could never do the same
As you without a word
Why is my heart so hurting
Why won’t it stop this hurting
Can’t see you here anymore
Just that you’re not here anymore
Apart from that it’s how it was before
Without a word, you taught me how to believe
Without a word, you gave me my everything
But even as the breath you left behind remains
You’re always running far away
Without a word, my heart is leaving again
Without a word, my heart has thrown me away
Now how can I reply? This voice of mine alone could never do the same
Without a word, the tears make trails down my face
Without a word, my heart keeps crumbling away
Without a word, I wait for you to return
Without a word, I take the pain and the hurt
Because I’m lost in time, you’re far away so I
Can only cry into the sky
Without a word, that star was searching for me
Without a word, that star drew nearer to me
My heart was unprepared when I sent you away – I wondered how you could just have
Appeared without a word
Without a word it may show
Without a word it may go
Like a disease from before
Maybe that’s what this hurt is for
So that there can’t be doubts here anymore
the story revolves around kitazono meiko falls asleep in the library one day, only to be awakened by a kiss! she is unsure of who it was that kissed her, however, since there are multiple boys still in the library. could it be the popular boy shinoda-senpai? or the super-cool mikoshiba-senpai? the boy-next-door type mogami? or the cute underclassman hachiya? who could it be? they’re all possible candidates, but which one does meiko like the best…?
well, i didn’t actually found it by chance.
xiao had already finished reading this and told me it was a kyaaaaaah~
valentines day is just around the corner.
few weeks from now and we will be flooded with all shades of red, hearts and winged babies on diapers carrying those deadly arrows; it is the time where demands for expensive roses, cheesy love cards and fancy restaurant reservations reach its peak; and one of the seasons where guys and girls spend lots of their time prettying themselves in front of the mirror.
when i was still in elementary, i used to look forward to celebrating valentines day. for me (at that time), valentines means chocolates, teddy bears and flowers. in my young naive heart, valentines is a special day to meet your prince charming in shining armor that will carry you off to sunset on his white steed.
but as time goes on, my perspective of valentines changed. it is not that special like it used to be.
as i grew older, enough to understand the run of economics, i realized that valentines is nothing but mostly consumerism. people slip into a trance to ritual consumerism, subconsciously forced to shed their hard earned money to buy valentine gifts whenever february 14 comes to date. when you really think about it, valentines day is just another chance for candy companies and card companies to sneak some money out of our wallets. but then, at least it helps stimulates the economy.
valentines day is a good chance though to ask your girl/boy crush out on a date or a nice day for proposing to your partners (it is easier to remember since it is a world-known special day). for girls, it is their day to collect flowers, chocolates, cards and perfume not only from their admirers but also from their boy friends.
all in all, valentines has its ups and downs. it may be a folly for other people but it also has its purposes.
