Showcasing Love Songs week 1

Alright, though the songs may be from the past, I will still have it put up. So there's no time-line followed. This week's Love song is Where Is The Love? by Blackeyed Peas.

What's wrong with the world, mama

People living like they ain't got no mamas

I think the whole world addicted to the drama

Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma

Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism

But we still got terrorists here living

In the USA, the big CIA

The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK

But if you only have love for your own race

Then you only leave space to discriminate

And to discriminate only generates hate

And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah

Madness is what you demonstrate

And that's exactly how anger works and operates

Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight

Take control of your mind and meditate

Let your soul gravitate to the ove, y'all

People killing, people dying

Children hurting, hear them crying

Do you practice what you preach

Would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us

Send some guidance from above

Cause people got me, got me questioning

Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love 

The love, the love

It just ain't the same, always unchanged

New days are strange, is the world insane

If love and peace is so strong

Why are there pieces of love that don't belong

Nations dropping bombs

Chemical gasses filling lungs of the little ones

With ongoing suffering as the youth die young

So ask yourself is the loving really gone

So I could ask myself really what is going wrong

In this world that we living in people keep on giving in

Making wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends

Not respecting each other, deny thy brother

A war is going on but the reason's undercover

The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug

If you never know truth then you never know love

Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)

Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)

Where's the love, y'all

People killing, people dying

Children hurting hear them crying

Do you practice what you preach

Would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us

Send some guidance from above

Cause people got me, got me questioning

Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love, the love, the love?

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder

As I'm getting older, y'all, people gets colder

Most of us only care about money making

Selfishness got us following our wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media

Negative images is the main criteria

Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria

Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema

Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity

Whatever happened to the fairness in equality

Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity

Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down

There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under

Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found

Now ask yourself

Where is the love?

Where is the love?

Where is the love?

Where is the love?

Father, Father, Father help us 

Send some guidance from above

Cause people got me, got me questioning

Where is the love?

Sing wit me y'all:

One world, one world (We only got)

One world, one world (That's all we got)

One world, one world

And something's wrong wit it (Yeah)

Something's wrong with it (Yeah)

Something's wrong wit the wo-wo-world, yeah

We only got

(One world, one world)

That's all we got

(One world, one world)

"Quotes"

these are some quotes that I got from the internet. Credits: All who wrote these. Though when I was looking for these quotes, I actually looked under 'emos'. Every time I came across these beautiful quotes. And I feel that though they are emo, they are really good at expressing themselves through words. And I look up to them.

"I wish my eyes

could speak what my heart feels for you

Coz

my lips can lie

on what is true

But

my eyes couldn't

Coz

even if I close them, I could still see you."

__________________________________________________________

"If I could give you one thing in life

I would give you the ability

to see yourself through my eyes

only then would you realize

how special you are to me..."

__________________________________________________________

"Somewhere between our long talks

stupid little fights

and all our jokes is where

I fell in love with you"

__________________________________________________________

"I never want to be without you..."

__________________________________________________________

"Every time I breathe

I love you more..."

__________________________________________________________

"My worst enemy is my heart

because

it's mine

but beats for you."

__________________________________________________________

"You came to my life

only to teach me how to live

ALONE"

__________________________________________________________

"I'm sorry if I've hurt you...

but I want you to know this...

I love you...

I really

really do..."

__________________________________________________________

"It hurts to fall in love

with someone

who

don't loves you back..."

__________________________________________________________

"Every time I looked at the keyboard

I see that

U and I

are always together..."

__________________________________________________________

"You taught me how to love...

but not how to stop..."

__________________________________________________________

"In my dream

you are mine

but in My Life

you are a dream..."

__________________________________________________________

"Just because today is a terrible day

doesn't mean tomorrow

won't be the best day of life.

You just gotta get these..."

__________________________________________________________




"This is the time and this is the place
to be alive."


__________________________________________________________




"Every day
I make that one special wish
Can you guess what is it?
To be with you
forever..."


__________________________________________________________




"How can I forget you
when you are always on my mind?
How can I not want you
when you are all I want inside?
How can I let you go
when I can't see us apart?
How can I not love you
when you control all my heart?"


__________________________________________________________




"If you'll be my star...
I'll be your sky..."


__________________________________________________________




"You may meet people...
better than me
funnier than me
more beautiful than me...
but one thing I can say to you...
I will always be there for you
when they all leave you."


__________________________________________________________




"When I am with you
I wish I could stop the time
so I could spend forever with you
and never have to leave you company..."


__________________________________________________________




"I swear to you on everything
I am and I dedicate to you
all that I have and I promise that I will stand right by your side
forever and always until the day I die."


__________________________________________________________




"I would cry a million tears
and
walk a million miles
just to be with you"


__________________________________________________________




"I'm a lover not a fighter
but I'll fight for what I love"


__________________________________________________________




"We were given:
two hands to hold
two legs to walk
two eyes to see
two ears to listen
but why only one heart?
Because the other was given to someone else
for us to find"


__________________________________________________________




"The worst feeling is not being lonely
It's being forgotten by someone
you could not forget"


__________________________________________________________




"You may be out of my sight...
but never out of my mind..."


__________________________________________________________




"The greatest distance on earth
is not North and South
it is when I am right in front of you
and you do not know that I Love You."


__________________________________________________________




"Wanting you to love me
is like
wanting a snow in a summer..."


__________________________________________________________




"When you are with me
I feel perfect"


__________________________________________________________




"I did just three things today
Miss you
miss you
& miss you..."


__________________________________________________________




"It hurts
when you talk with someone else
not me...
It hurts more
when someone else makes you smile & I can't
& It hurts most
when you say I Love You to someone else
not me..."


__________________________________________________________




"I had a dream last night
you were there
I held my hand so tight
I thought I just die
Do you remember?
All the times we laughed
we had fun
the times when we were together?
Those days are gone
I am missing you so much
just like the desert misses the rain
like a child misses his blanket
Miss you
Love you"


__________________________________________________________




"There are millions of people
but no one is like you...
I feel such deep feelings...
because I LOVE YOU...
No one in this world has such grace
No one is so able to fill your place
You always know but I never say
MY LOVE for you grows
with every passing day..."


__________________________________________________________




"I am 6
wanna be my 9?"


__________________________________________________________




"Love is a history in boy's life
But it is an episode in girl's life"


__________________________________________________________




"The saddest part isn't that each passing day
I feel like I need you more
but it's the fact that
you don't need me at all..."


__________________________________________________________




"I admit that
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool for you"


__________________________________________________________




"Love is like...
trying to break a stone with hand
I am only hurting myself..."


__________________________________________________________




"One night
I looked at the moon and the moon told me:
Why don't you leave her if she makes you cry?
I looked back at the moon and said:
Would you ever leave your sky?"


__________________________________________________________




"I miss you...
I miss your smile...
It's been so much time since you've gone away
Don't you miss me?
Don't you want to come back
and hug me tight?
I need you..."


__________________________________________________________




"Waiting for you...
is like waiting for another life
I know it's stupid...
but I still want it...
with you"


__________________________________________________________




"I know that you gonna leave me
But
I didn't know that you gonna love me this soon..."


__________________________________________________________




"Don't ever worry about what you are to me
because you will never be
anything less than my world...!"


__________________________________________________________




"I wish I never met you...
I wish I never knew you...
Cos since the day I met you
I'm slowly dying on loving you"


__________________________________________________________




"Thanks for being tears in my eyes
at least I can lose you before you lose me"


__________________________________________________________




"If I had a flower for every time you made me smile and laugh
I'd have a garden to walk in forever"


__________________________________________________________




"All I knew is that
I'm lost without you..."


__________________________________________________________




"You may miss me
You may ignore me
You may even forget me
But one day
if you wanna see me
don't search
just see your shadow
I will be there
Trust me!"


__________________________________________________________




"You touched my heart
with a thousand pleasures
and broke it
into million pieces..."


__________________________________________________________




"Why can't I just get over you?
Why do these feelings have to be true?
Why do I have to care about you?
I wish I could just forget about you
like you forget about me..."


__________________________________________________________




"Everyday I spend with you
is the new best day of my life"


__________________________________________________________




"All I wanted from you was
one last touch
one last hug..."


__________________________________________________________




"You are my drug
and I am addicted"


__________________________________________________________




"You hurt me more than I deserved
how could you be so cruel?
I love you more than you deserved
Why am I such a fool?"


__________________________________________________________




"If you want to see a rainbow
you must go through the rain...
If you want true love
you must go through pain..."


__________________________________________________________




"It's really hard to let go of someone you love
but there are times that you have to let go...
not because you want it that way
it's because it's more painful
to hang on and wait for nothing..."


__________________________________________________________




"I heard someone is calling me
When I turned my head around
there was no one
Suddenly
I realiszed it was my heart
that tells me that
I'm missing you so much..."

What a joke~

BOY: I love her more than the air I breath.
GIRL: Well, I'm always here for you. 

BOY: I know.
GIRL: What's wrong?

BOY: I like her so much
GIRL: Talk to her then.

BOY: I don't know. She won't like me.
GIRL: Don't say that. You're amazing!

BOY: I just want her to know how I feel.
GIRL: Then tell her.

BOY: She won't like me.
GIRL: How do you know that?

BOY: I can tell.
GIRL: Well, just tell her.

BOY: What should I say?
GIRL: Tell her how much you like her.

BOY: I tell her daily
GIRL: What do you mean?

BOY: I'm always with her. I love her.
GIRL: I know how you feel. I have the same problem. But he'll never like me.

BOY: Wait. Who do you like?
GIRL: O some boy~

BOY: O...she won't like me either.
GIRL: She does.

BOY: How do you know?
GIRL: Because, who wouldn't like you?

BOY: You!
GIRL: You're wrong. I love you!

BOY: I love you too~
GIRL: So are you going to tell her?

BOY: .....           

"I'm...pregnant..." or "I've made her pregnant..."

If you are currently a parent, or going to be one in the future, and these words came out from your child's mouth. What if they came back one day and said: "I've something to tell you. And I hope you would understand. I really didn't mean it. I don't know what was I thinking, I didn't expect this to happen." stuff like that.

What will you do?
1. Scold the child
    e.g. What?! I earn money to feed you and got you into the best skool, got you a tutor, take you
           overseas, and buy you things you like and this is what you do to me? Is this how you repay me?
           Got yourself pregnant? You still even dare to come back and tell me! etc...
2. Leave the child and lock yourself in your room and cry, not wanting to eat. Don't feel like talking to
    the poor child anymore.
3. Calm yourself down and ask her what are her plans. And discuss what can you do to help.

*Please think of this question carefully before choosing the answer, especially the third one.

In cases like this, we can't just anyhow make a decision without thinking carefully of what will happen next.
First, we need to calm ourselves, and ask for the child's decision. What is he/she going to do, and is the other party going to take responsibilities, does the other party's parents know about this, and what are their views, etc. There is a need to find out about everything, before making a choice.

Second, understand the child's feelings and conditions. How is she feeling now, and how did she found out about her pregnancy. If she is not sure, take her to the doctor and seek advise before moving on.

Third, help your child and it would be best if you could give him/her your support. This will not have unhappy endings.

Though it's hard to do that, you have to try and keep encourage your child to be strong no matter what is his/her decisions. It may not sound good to the ears, but is it better to save young life, than to have a good impression to others?  If you choose to 'kill' the child, then you will be able to give others a good impression that he/she is "clean". But if you choose to let the child live, then others might not have a good impression on you. However, is "impression" much more important? Or is it the "life" that is important. Think carefully.

*Please do not mistook that I am encouraging teenagers to get themselves pregnant at a young age. Rather, I am hoping that you will make a decision wisely when this thing happens.

If you have any views/opinions, voice it out. I would be glad to hear you.

Types Of Love

Romantic Love -- One constantly thinks about the loved one and needs reassurance that one is loved in
                             return.


Friendship Love -- A close friendship slowly develops and is mutually trusting and committed.


Unselfish Love -- One is devoted and self-sacrificial towards the loved one, giving without expecting 
                             anything in return.


Game-playing Love -- One enjoys the dating game but has no intention of long-term commitment to 
                                     the other person.


So which of the above is you relationship with the one you love. Is it still alright to continue the relationship, or you should really continue with the relationship and make it even better?

"Why can't he tell me?!?!" / "I wanna tell her sooo bad!!!"

This was a mail I received from a girl friend of mine. It's a chain mail actually. But the ingredients inside is the one I want you to look at.

This is a Guy talking...

 Its 7th grade...

I stared at the girl next to me...She was my so called 'best friend'...I stared at her...Long, silky hair...And I wished she was mine... But she didn't notice me like that... I knew it... After class she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before... And I handed them to her... She said 'thanks'... And she gave me a kiss on the cheek... I wanted to tell her... I want her to know that I don't want to be 'just friends'... I love her but I'm too shy to tell her... And I don't know why...

It's Junior Year...

My phone rang... On the other end it was her... She was in tears... mumbling on and on about how her love had broken her heart... She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone... So I did... As I sat next to her on the sofa... I stared at her soft eyes... Wishing she was mine... After 2 hours... A Drew Barrymore movie... And 3 bags of chips... She decided to go to sleep... She looked at me... Said 'thanks' and gave me a kiss on the cheek... I wanted to tell her... I want her to know... That I don't want to be 'just friends'... I love her but I'm too shy to tell her... And I don't know why...

It's Senior Year...

The day before prom... She walked to my locker... 'My date is sick' she said... He's not going to go... Well... I didn't have a date and in 7th grade... We made a promise that if neither of us had dates... We'd go together just as 'best friends'... And so we did...

It's Prom Night...

After everything was over with... I was standing at her front door step... I stared at her... She smiled at me... I wanted her to be mine... But she doesn't think of me like that... And I know it... Then she said 'I had the best time... Thanks!'... And she gave me a kiss on the cheek... I wanted to tell her... I wanted her to know that I don't want to be 'just friends'... I love her but I'm just too shy... And I don't know why...

It's Graduation Day...

A day passed... And then a week... And then a month... Before I could blink... It was graduation day... I watched her... Perfect body... Floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma... I wanted her to be mine... but she doesn't think of me that way... And I know it... Before everyone went home... She came to me in her smock and hat... And she cried as I hugged her... Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said 'you're my best friend'...'Thanks!'... And she gave me a kiss on the cheek... I wanted to tell her... I wanted her to know that I wanted to be more than 'just friends'... I love her but I'm too shy... And I don't know why...

It's A Few Years Later...

Now I sit in the pews of the church... A church that she is getting married in now... I watch her say 'I do' an drive off to her new life... Married to another man... I wanted her to be mine... But she didn't see me like that... And I knew it... But before she drove away... She came to me and said 'You came!... Thanks!'... And she kissed me on the cheek... I wanted to tell her... I wanted her to know that I didn't want to be 'just friends'... I love her but I'm just too shy... And I don't know why...

Years Passed...

I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my 'best friend'... At the service they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years... This is what it said... 'I stare at him... Wishing he was mine... But he doesn't notice me like that... And I know it... I wanted to tell him... I wanted him to know... That I don't want to be 'just friends'... I love him but I'm just too shy... And I don't know why... I wished he would tell me he loved me'... I wished I did too... I thought to myself and I cried...


So this is what I want to say. If you know that you like him/her, pluck up the courage to tell her/him. Though you might think that he/she doesn't like you. But who knows? Maybe he/she feels the same way too. It's better to be rejected than to be kept in the dark. At least you did confess to him/her. When years passed, you won't regret. This goes to telling your parents, grandparents, siblings, your loved ones etc before it's too late.


Trust me, by then you will really regret. Because this happens to me too. I was too shy to tell her "I love her and wanted to thank her badly." She's my aunt, but now, she is not around anymore.


So, don't wait...

Same Sex Love

This a question that bothers a lot of people. Especially those who cannot accept the love of the same sex. They believe that love=a girl and a boy. But definitely not love between two guys or two girls.

Love is unlimited. If you can love someone who has a large age gap, why can't you love someone from the same sex as you? Though I am not a homosexual type of person, but I accept the love between the same sex. Why is it that their love is not recognized by most of the people? When you are reading this, you would probably say that you do accept same-sex relationship. But when you actually saw it, at that moment, would you still be able to say that you are able to accept their love?

As for me, I do have friends who love people from the same sex, and they are happy together. When you say you are brave about Love, are you sure about it? And what makes you think that you are that brave?

People who are homosexual are those that are brave when it comes to relationship. Why? That's because they do not care about how people look at them and think that they are abnormal. Then what is normal Love? Who says that a relationship between a male and a female is called or known as "normal Love"? What prove do you have to support that? Then what exactly is Love? Then if that's the case, Love would be limited.

Though I did not say that homosexual relationships are "normal", I did not say that they are "abnormal". Because when it comes to things as complicated as feelings, there is no right or wrong. Is it wrong to love someone from the same sex? These people, they can't help it. They are charmed by the same sex. Though this happens to me sometimes. Don't tell me you never felt this way. That means that if you are a girl, you should not have idol who are females. Because it's not normal to love them. And if you are a guy, you should not have idol who are males, since it's not normal at all.

If you disagrees, then why can't you accept their relationship? Since they are so brave and are proud of themselves, why not give them our support? Isn't that a better thing to do than to go against them and make them have feelings "disorder"?

Like I said, personally, I am not a homo. But I have friends who are like this, and I find that they are brave and they can really go all out for their relationship. So why can't we recognized their precious relationship?

What Is Love?

This is a question with a simple answer. But why is it that it's so hard to understand? When you found the someone you like, you would ask yourself, "Is this Love?" And as you are thinking, you would wonder what exactly is Love. Such a simple word, L-O-V-E, can be so difficult to understand. So simple, yet so difficult...

Then, What is Love?
Love is something that cannot be measured. You can never tie it, catch it or even keep it. It's a very complicated type of feeling. Sometimes, you can feel it, sometimes, you don't.
When you love someone, it means that this person that you love is important. You want that person to be happy with you. When he/she is feeling down, you will try all ways to make him/her laugh. When you are not able to see him/her, you feel a sharp pain in your chest. Tears just flow down without your permission. You feel down all the time. Though you are smiling on the outside, deep in your heart, you are tearing badly.

Sometimes, though on the outside, you say you love him/her. But do you really love him/her. Under what type of feelings do you classify your relationships? Is it just friendship type of love? Siblings type of love? A long term partner type of love?

Once you said you love him/her. You expect the same as him/her. But what if it's just an one-sided type of love? Will you force him/her to love you in return since you love him/her? Knowing that perhaps there is someone else whom him/her love, will you let him/her go? If you don't, will he/she be happy with you? What you keep with you eventually, is not his/her heart, it's just a cold puppet that you are holding on to.

You say you know what is Love, but do you really know what is Love? Perhaps you do, perhaps you don't...
