The NG scenes of 'It Started With A Kiss' are so fun to watch...because of Joe Cheng. I love his laugh- hearing it makes me feel like jumping up and down laughing too. YAAAY!!

| I went stargazing yesterday night in my backyard. I don't know why exactly- it just felt like something I wanted to do.
It actually triggered a memory from a very long time ago that I had completely forgotten. I think it was from when I was five, or maybe six. Well, it was when I was in preschool and my family was living in Africa. My dad had a week off from work so we drove down from Kenya to Tanzania for a safari trip. There was this huge, famous crater there that people came from all over the world to see- I don't remember the name exactly, but I think it was called Gorongoro. Well anyways, I remember going out on the deck of our lodge at night and looking up at the stars. There was no light around at all so you could see all the stars perfectly. I remember my five (six?) year old self thinking how beautiful it was, and how one day I would go back there and see it all over again. Now, more than ten years later...I've decided that I definitely do want to go back and see it again. I want to go back to Nairobi and see my old house and old school, and maybe even old friends or teachers if I could somehow track any of them down. But just seeing the house and school would be enough. I'm sure it would bring back beautiful memories that are just hidden somewhere in my mind right now. Yes, we have an enormous collection of personal videos from our year there, but it's not the same as actually remembering it yourself.
There are some things, places, and people I don't ever want to forget and it scares me that I'm already very close to forgetting some of them.

| If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go
And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you, through the darkest of your days
If a greater wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Well then I hope there's someone out there
who can bring me back to you
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go
Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love
I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind I'll stay with you for all of time
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go
If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
I'll go wherever you will go
Did you know that in Chinese there's the same word for heart and mind? Maybe it's because the heart and mind are so closely related that it's really futile trying to separate the two. I guess that means that sometimes even though your heart tells you one thing and your mind tells you another...it's useless trying to shut your heart out and only following the rational approach posed to you by your mind. You can't have one without the other. No matter how much you wish that you could turn off your heart and listen only to your mind, you can't because it doesn't work that way. Yes, that means that you have to deal with your heart hurting sometimes, and it also means that you can get stressed out trying to listen to both your heart and your mind...but ultimately, it comes down to love. If you don't let yourself listen to your heart, you'll never know what any kind of love is. I guess it's the same reason why dealing with certain memories can be so difficult- because of the emotions attached to them. When you see something, hear something, smell something, or even taste something that reminds you of a certain day, it's almost like you go back in time to that time and place and relive it all over again. Sometimes remembering a good memory can hurt far more than can remembering a bad one, because with a bad memory you're thankful that it's over, but with a good memory you wish that it could happen again.
It really seems pretty selfish when I phrase it like that, at least to me, but I guess that the point of the matter is that love is not selfish (1 Corinthians 13: 4-6). Although it is very difficult not to be at least a little selfish when it comes to some things concerning love, the more generous and giving you are, the happier both you and the people around you will be. After all, if people you care about are really happy, that should make you happy too. Being unselfish in love doesn't mean you have to get rid of the old happy memories, it just means that you have to learn how to make (and accept) new happy memories too.

| You’re living your life
in somebody else's heart
My love is as strong
as oceans are far apart.
A summer song keeps playing in my brain,
and I feel you, and I see your face again,
there’s no escape,
I lost everything in losing you.
Ahh I wish you were here,
drying these tears I cry
They were good times,
it's that time of year
for being alone
but you’re dealing with a heart of stone
try to kiss and say goodbye
try to throw our love away
And that storm will blow.
Wish you were here.
Wish you were here,
’Cause you're dealing with a heart of stone
try to kiss and say goodbye
try to throw our love away
And I can't let go.
They were good times
and I wish you were here,
yes, I wish you were here.
Sometimes life can be a bit… difficult. And the thing is,even though I know that it’s all for a good reason,
I can’t help but sometimes wish that a couple things were different. | | |
| I am so disappointed with Sweet Relationship's first episode! I suppose that most first episodes are always a bit different, just because they are more backstory than anything else- but all the same I was pretty disappointed. First of all I'm not sure why Vic Zhou's haircuts keep getting progressively worse, but that's beside the point. Alan Kuo is in it too though, which is really good! He's definitely one of my favorite singers. Both the ending and opening songs are good- the opening song is by Vic and the ending song is by Alan. I'm still not sure what exactly I think of Patty Hou but I have a feeling that her acting will turn out okay in the end. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when I saw Megan Lai in the restaurant. I'm really not sure why she keeps on getting cast as the evil rival female in every single drama with Zai Zai- and I"m not exaggerating when I say 'every'! Also, I thought that the cast was too big. It seemed very overwhelming with so many characters already stufffed into the first episode
I'll probably still keep watching just because Vic is in it but I'll most likely just wait for the subtitles instead of watching the raw first and everything. Maybe I'll watch Romantic Princess with Wu Zun and Angela instead, but probably not. I guess we will see. But I really miss Why Why Love already! I want another drama with Mike, Rainie, and Kingone in it. Or one with Vic, some decent female lead, and no Megan Lai. That would be good too.
It's okay though because I have all the episodes of Silence and WWL to continue watching over and over and over whenever I feel like it! That thought makes me happy.
