Journal of My Mind

“Doctor!”
“President!”
“Pilot!”
“Lawyer!”
“Teacher!”

I guess all of you is familiar with this kind of conversation. I bet you are already asked about this million time, no.. zillion time. Everybody asked the question since we were kid. And what was our answer back then?

I used to wanna be a doctor. Then, I changed it, I wanna be an astronomer. And then, when I went to junior high, I wanna be a novelist. Then in high school I wanna be a movie director. The problem is, now I’m in my senior year of high school. I’ll go to college next year, and.. I still confused about my major!

When we’re kid, it was so much fun. It was so easy. We can be anything we wanna be. As we all grown up, there were more questions come to our head, made us confuse about our own future.

I wanna be a novelist, but then my brother told me : ‘the percentage of novelist that end up rich like JK. Rowling is so small. do you really want to take English Literature?’ then, I was confused.

Then, when I said I wanna take major something about design or languages or multimedia, my dad came and said : ‘pick a job that can produce money, not the one that waste money,’

Today, I just chatted with my old friends. I ask him what he wanna be and what major he would take next year. I thought he wanna be a doctor from a long time ago and would take major that related to it since he’s smart. I admitted, I was surprise to hear his choice. He wants to work in mining. Because, being a doctor does not have a good prospect anymore. For me, it means, mining will give you a lot of money (because everybody need it, especially oil) while being doctor will give it too but after a long years.

Okay, then I wanna scream out loud. Should everything has to related to money? I mean, yes, I need it. I am not saying I can live without money because I know that I can’t. But, come on, am I the only person that think money is not everything?

I don’t blame my friend for his choice. It really up to him. It’s not my business anyway.

I heard someone said to me, ‘Why don’t you be a doctor? You can raise money faster than other job, because everybody need doctor,’

Yes, logically, I think that’s right. But, why is the reason of being a doctor have to related to money again? I mean, is there somebody who will say that she/he wants to be a doctor because she/he wants to save people’s life? To save people from death? To save them and heal them because we all are relative and our job is helping each other from suffer? Is there?

J-O-B. A bunch of people of age 22-55 years old who go to work every Monday-Friday wearing suit for men and blazer for women and bringing varies of documents from 8 am ’till 4 pm.

That’s the definition of word ‘job’ for me. And for me, a good job means something you wanna do, something you love to do. Not something that we have to do because it will give us a big amount of salary. Not something like that at all. Am I too naive or what?

I wanna have a job about something I love to do. Like when we were kids. We said out loud what we wanna be. There’s no thought about.. about anything. I wish I can be like that. If you think of the opposite and feel unpleasant , please, I have to remind you that you’re reading my post, my mind, my journal of my mind. And please appreciate it.

Well, up until now, I don’t know what job should I take. At least, what major should I take next year. Seriously, I feel so uneasy about this. What’s wrong for being a novelist and  that’s because you love to write? What’s wrong for being a movie director because you love the process of making? What’s wrong being an astronomer because you love studying about stars, planets and galaxy? Are those job is something you can laugh at, gaping at, or saying ‘will you success just by doing that?’? I don’t get it.

I think I lost my way. I don’t know what to do, or what I wanna be. As a human being, I want to have a job that can help others too, sincerely. Sigh.

By the way, ou of topic, suddenly I’m hungry and I wanna eat Ramen. Haha.. I gotta go, gonna find something in refrigerator to eat =p Thanks for reading my post. Hope you don’t get bored. Wait for my next post, okay? Bye bye and see ya’!

I don’t know more Let me tell you if I already get the full lists..

Then,

Yes, hoodie! I think I just addicted to this thing. Sweatshirt Hoodie =D

Hmm.. I don’t know where I can buy a sweatshirt hoodie in Jakarta with high quality but reasonable price. Actually, I’d rather wear hoodie than t-shirt. I think it’s more comfortable. And by the way, do you still remember my previous post about ‘Interesting Stuff I Wanna Buy’? Finally I can buy almost most of them, even though until now, I can’t find high top black converse in size 36.5. Weird.

Japan. For me, whenever I heard of word ‘Japan’, I will start thinking of: kanji, Japanese, hanabi, sakura, kimono, yukata, sushi, shrine, mount fuji, seifuku, etc. Honestly, I never think I would ever visit Japan because, you know, everybody says that everything in Japan is expensive, including the airplane tickets!

So, when my dad said it’s been confirmed that I am going to Japan on June 29, 2009, I was ecstatic! I never been to Japan before and I want to go there since a long time ago. I learnt Japanese Language (Nihongo) when I was in middle school. I learnt Aikido, I love watching Japanese doramas to see what ordinary life in Japan looks like (since Japanese dorama never exagrete the Japanese real life, I am so glad for that fact).

June 28, I had to stay for two days at Sultan Hotel, Jakarta for pre-departure things. I attended a program called JENESYS. There was 4 groups in this program which in every group consists of 23 students and 2 Indonesian coordinator. There were Hokkaido Group, Kanagawa Group, Yamagata Group and Kagawa Group. Which group was I? Guess!

Okay, I am in Kagawa Group. =D

My plane (we used JAL) will depart from Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Cengkareng at 22.00 pm on June 29, 2009. When we arrived in the airport, we were given a mask, for swine flu anticipation. I was okay with that. Besides, I didn’t want to get swine flu in the middle of my trip! I always wore my mask except when I ate.

After 7 hours flight, which I cannot sleep almost the whole night, I saw Japan for the first time!
Green and clean. That was my first impression when I saw Japan from the airplane’s window. Then, finally, Japan! Here I am!

After a long line in immigration, finally we went to the Asakusa View Hotel from Narita International Airport by bus. I can’t put my eyes off the view. I still can’t believe that I was in Japan! So, after one hour and half, finally we reached Asakusa View Hotel that I should say the rooms were cute. And, because the last time I had a long flight is when I came back from Pittsburgh, I was jet-leg.

After slept for awhile and ate bento (lunch box), in the evening we were discussed a little about Japan with the Japanese and we went out to find dinner. We ate in a restaurant with tempura! So delicious for sure.. =9

I went to hyaku-en shop (100 yen store) and bought lot of cute japanese things like uchiwa (Japanese fan), transparent umbrella like the one I saw in doramas (and in Tokyo itself!), postcards, etc. Asakusa is a district in Tokyo. Everybody ride bicycle (ride bicycle in Jakarta? wow, it’s kinda rare and dangerous!) or walk. No traffic, almost no pollution. Light on Tokyo. Just beautiful.

Japanese people was friendly. They were friendlier than I thought. For me, they were even friendlier than Indonesian. They had an amazing record, Japan has the lowest criminality in the world, they say. Sugoii (amazing!).

The next day, after a short lecture, we all went to Asakusa Shrine and Edo Museum. Asakusa Shrine was so cool with a long road of shops. I wanted to have a fortune-teller. It was 100 yen. But I didn’t because I was afraid mine will be a bad one and I cannot translate it and it’ll full of kanji. So, I bought some souvenirs there. One hour was not enough! But the end I bought an omamori (lucky charm) for keepsake.

Then, we all went to Edo Museum that was full of Tokyo’s history in Edo Time. After that, we went to Shinjuku for dinner. We all surprised when we found out that we were having dinner Indonesian food! But, still, it’s more delicious here of course.

Next day, we all separated. Four groups went to 4 different prefecture. Hokkaido Group went to Hokkaido by JAL. Yamagata Group went to Yamagata by Shinkansen (a super express train) and honestly I envy them, I really want to ride Shinkansen. Kanagawa Group when to Kanagawa (the capital city is Yokohama and it’s near Tokyo) by bus. And Kagawa Group went to Kagawa by ANA. And we went to Haneda Airport.

After one hour flight, finally we were in Kagawa! Wow. That’s what I can say when I felt the air for the first time. Cool, comfortable, pleasant. I don’t wanna go home, I said to myself that time. Kagawa is the smallest prefecture in Japan and it consists of green mountains, sea, rice field, etc. People still use traditional house (japanese style made from woods).

We went to see Seto Ohashi (Seto Bridge). It’s connecting Honshu Island and Shikoku Island. Have two tracks. One for cars, trucks, buses, etc. And the second one for train. Very long bridge and it’s said to be the sister of Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransisco.

After that finally went to hotel. Rihga Zest Takamatsu Hotel. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that the capital city of Kagawa is Takamatsu. We had a rest because we all so tired. I watched TV and find the commercial about Harry Potter and the Half-blood prince. Very interesting.

The next day was the one I’ve been looking for because we will have a visit to Takamatsu Daiichi High School! I can’t wait to meet Japanese students and introduce Indonesia to them. Exchange culture and knowledges. But, in the morning, we will have a visit to Ritsurin Park and have a tea ceremony.

Ritsurin Park is a Japanese style park and I looove it. While the tea ceremony, hmm.. how should I say about this one. I love the ceremony but I didn’t like the tea because it’s so bitter and I got a wrong method/steps so it’s even more bitter for me. But it’s okay. I even enjoyed it so much that I think 30 minutes was not enough!

Then, school time! Takamatsu Daiichi High School was exactly like I thought. It looked like Aya’s high school in One Litre Of Tears (Higashikou High School). I met 5 girls. They are Hina, Miyu, Aki, Miyuka, and Chihiro. And there was a cool guy from kyudo (Japanese Archery Arts) named Takeshi. They are very friendly. We talked a lot and even though my Japanese was a bit poor, but I can communicate with them. I promised I will study Nihongo harder from now!

Then, we all have a school tour. Dorama mitai (looks like in dorama). This school (if I don’t mistaken, please forgive me if I do) has 3 main major. Science, music and english. And they do have a firld trip to Englad! How lucky they are?

After that, we all divided to 3 groups to join their extra curriculer! Kendo, calligraphy or kyudo. I really hope I will be in Kendo or Kyudo. Don’t get me wrong, I am interested with calligraphy things but I think I am more into martial arts =)

And, lucky me, I got Kyudo! Japanese Archery Art. I never do shooting-arrow like Legolas in Lord of the Rings or Susan in The Chronicles Of Narnia. It was so exciting. They practice really serious. No sounds, no talk. All they need is full focus and concentration. They wore gi and hakama like Aikidoka too (even though I don’t wear Hakama because I still blue belt). Very cool and astonish how they practicing.

The school ends. I hope we can have a longer time in Takamatsu Daiichi. The school was great. If you, the reader, is one of Takamatsu Daiichi High School, I want to say thank you very much for everything back then =) And sorry if we have made trouble for you guys..

Now it’s time to meet my host family. Have I said to you that this program include homestay? Maybe I haven’t? Well, this JENESYS program has a homestay program for 3 days 2 night for Kagawa Group. Each group has different time for homestay, depends on each group activities.

And finally, I met them. An 43-years-old mother named Ikuyo Norihisa and 18-years-old daughter named Wakana Norihisa. I had a roommate from my group, Rika. They were so kind and pretty. We went to a mall and had dinner there. Wakana-san even took us for purikura (photo sticker studio).

We went home at 8.30 pm (Japan Time) and they said it took 1 hour from Takamatsu. And it did really far. I like the house. Traditionally Japanese style. They have a dog named Lucky. Actually, the dog is super cute, but I was scared of it. Hehe..

Norihisa Family has 7 members. Otousan (Father), Okaasan (Mother), Wakana-san, Yoshiki, Maho, Obaasan and Ojiisan (they were not in home). Maho and Yoshiki were shy. After introduction, we went to sleep. We slept in Japanese style bed. So comfortabe, I can say =)

The next day, we went to lot of place, so I cannot write the details. In the morning, after breakfast, we went (me, Rika, Ikuyo-san, Wakana-san, and Maho-san) to community center to cook and ate together. We met Ikuyo-san’s parents as well. They are very kind. After that, we went to mall to meet an Indonesian girl and chatted.

After that, we went to Marugame Castle. It’s beautiful and high. After that, we went home =)

After playing badminton, we go out to have dinner. We went to hyaku-en shop and book store before it. We had dinner delicious sushi and tempura and yakitori. Hmm.. Yummy! We played Hanabi when we got home. Beautiful.. And then met Ojiisan that came home from Kyushu. We chatted a lot and we exchange omiyage (souvenirs). I gave Maduran Hat and Batiks. And they gave me and Rika.. yukata! Wow, I am very happy! Ikuyo-san put the yukata on us. After that we chatted until late hehe..

The nect morning, we went to Kotohira Shrine or Kompira Shrine. We had to hike to get into the top. Can any of you guess how many stairs we should take? Nobody? Alright, I just googled it and it said it has 785 steps! Don’t you believe it? I never hike that high, I have to admitted. It’s a brand new thing and I was so happy I did that.

We did a ritual there, they said they will go to this shrine every new year. There was a ritual like throw a coin to one of the shrine and make a wish. Like what Ikeuchi Family did in One Litre Of Tears =D

After that, we had udon as lunch. Oshikatta (it was delicious). Then, we went to another shrine again, but I forgot the name (I forgot or didn’t know?)

After that, we went home and I was very tired because of the hiking thing in the morning. So I slept for half hour and had to get ready after that. I wore Kebaya (Indonesian traditional clothes) for the dinner in Takamatsu. Oh yeah, we had to come back to Rihga Zest Takamatsu Hotel because it’s already the time. Time’s up. Homestay program has ended. Finally I met Obaasan, and I was so sad to leave. I hope Norihisa Family always fine and I can meet them again someday =)

Norihisa Family was soo kind. Thank you very much! I am sorry if I did some mistakes back then. Thank you very much!

I went back to hotel with a surprise. My friend was admitted to the hospital. And the schedule for tomorrow was canceled. I was so sad and really hope my friend will be fine. So, the next day, we had Japanese Lesson. In the free time, I made origami with my roommate. But in the end of the day, 2 of my friends also admitted to hospital. I try to be healthy, everyone too.

The next day, we sad because we had to come back to Tokyo without 3 of our friends. In Tokyo, we had lunch in National Garden, but we have to wear mask again to prevent swine flu. And we have a trip around Tokyo afterwards.

We changed the hotel. From Asakusa View Hotel to Shinagawa Prince Hotel. It was a nice hotel too. We took a rest because we’re so tired. And me, I didn’t sleep on 10 pm like usual, but slept on 11.30 pm because I try to finishing novel Summer In Seoul by Ilana Tan. It is Indonesian novel and the story quite good.

The next day, we went to TEPIA : The Advanced Technology Exhibition Hall. All about Technology. There were a lot of different robots and sophisticated things. Made me want to take technology as my major in college.

After from TEPIA, we had lunch in someplace near sea but I forgot the name. We ate big bento there. Then, I just realized (or maybe I already realized from yesterday?) that today in Indonesia is election day! That was my very first election and I hope I didn’t miss it!

Everyone who already 17 or more had to bring passport to do the election in Japan. So we went to Meguro to elect in Sekolah Republik Indonesia Tokyo. It was soo cool! My first election was in Tokyo, Japan!

You can even find the news here =)

After that, we went back to the hotel to attend presentation, the closing ceremony and dinner. Tomorrow we had to come back to Indonesia. I was so sad. We didn’t do the presentation because some our schedule was canceled when we were in Kagawa but it’s okay. And I had to say that 2 of my friends were admitted to hospital again, so the total of my friends who had to stay more longer in Japan is five.

I cannot believe my trip in Japan finally over. So the next day, we went to Narita Airport and I felt like I wanna cry. Really. I don’t know when I can come back to Japan again. When the plane took off, I can’t turn my head off the window. I want to see Japan for the last time before I came back to Indonesia. Bye bye Japan, I know I will miss you so much..

And.. here I am now! In Indonesia and very fine. I know I won’t forget my summer trip to Japan forever. Thank you very much to Norihisa Family, thank you for everything! I had a very good time there. I wish I can meet them again. And to Kagawa Group, I know I miss them. Keiko-san (the coordinator from Japan), Otake-san, Riana-san, Takahashi-san, Bu Indah, Pak Edy, miss you all..

Wow.. this must be the longest post I’ve ever written. And full of colourful photos too. Hope you didn’t get bored while you read it =D This post is special. This is like my journal and I want to share about my experience to everyone.

So.. How’s it? Do you guys enjoy my story? Please share with me! =D

And by the way, thank you very much for reading my post.. I hope I didn’t bored you with this post hehe. And you know, I was wondering, maybe I want to work in Japan. Or study abroad there. I will study Nihongo more serious from now. Just.. wish me luck okay?

Okay then, once again, thanks for reading my journal blog. I was planning to write just a little in the first place, but I just cannot stop writing. Well, writing is my passion after all.

Thank you very much.. I’ll post more interesting things later! Bye bye and see ya’!

I’ve never been to Middle Java. I have been to West Java, East Java, Madura, Batam and Bali. So I asked my parents to have a short vacation to Solo and Jogja. I can say that both of those cities are cultural city and I cannot wait to learn my own culture =)

So, I was leaving Jakarta on June 19th, 2009 from Soekarno Hatta Airport to Adi Soeparmo Airport, Solo. The flight took 59 minutes with Garuda Indonesia.Solo, the city of Batik. Can’t wait to explore the city.

After we arrived, me and my family went to Sahid Hotel to take a rest and had dinner. The second day is a loooong day. I went to a museum about fossils. Then, went to Keraton Surakarta (used to be the king and queen palace and now it is a museum too). There were a lot of belief of Nyi Roro Jonggrang. They have a lot of traditions which is cool. And a lot of story I’ve never known.

After that, Batik Time! I bought a lot of cool Batiks. Because it’s cheaper than in Jakarta and the patterns are more unique. So Indonesia, so Solo haha. I love it. One of a kind and.. Indonesian culture is soo cool. I’m proud to be Indonesian.

And the foods are delicious. I’ve tried Soto Solo, Tengkleng, Bakmi Solo and Gudeg Jogja. I always thought when I heard the word ‘Solo’, the city will be full of Javanese people wearing Kebaya with bun hair and so traditional. I was wrong. It’s still traditional but it has a neat city. They have pedestrian precinct with big trees along with it which in Jakarta we still don’t have.

On the third day, we continued our journey to Jogja by car. It took about 2 hours from Solo to Jogja. We’re heading to Prambanan Temple. It’s cool and the weather was so hot. The sky was blue which is I love very much.

I bought the miniature of Prambanan Temple. By the way, now I’m collecting Indonesian Stuffs. Because I think of this. Everytime we went to other country, we bought souvenirs. But why don’t I start to collect Indonesia’s cultural stuff like Angklung, Batik, Cangklok, Handycraft, etc? Someday I want to have my own gallery to show all my collections (by the way, I used to be a filately too :D)

Back to the story, after about an hour at Prambanan Temple, we’re going to Borobudur Temple. If I don’t mistaken, Borobudur Temple have been on 7 Wonder World List couple years ago. It is nice but so big. Hahaha. I didn’t expect it would that big. Compared to Prambanan Temple, it’s so different and big. And it has stairs which is so steep and high. And it has stupas and if you can touch the statue inside the stupa, your wish will come true. I didn’t try it, but my brother did.

It was so hot that I want to go back as soon as possible. If you want to got tan, I surely recommend to go to Jogja. The sun is hot that you can got tan easily. You don’t have to go to beach =p

And after that, we went to Malioboro and bought a lot of souvenirs. Love that place. I can have more unique things to be add to my Indonesian Collection. Maybe someday I should hunting again to Malioboro. After hunting, we ate Gudeg and went to Adisoetjipto Airport to go back to Jakarta.

Then, that’s all I can say for now. But the short trip was very fun. Even though now I still very tired hehe. Hmm.. so I’ve been to Middle/Central Java. Now I want to go to Sumatra. I’ve never been to Sumatra. I wish I can go there before I go to college. I want to go to Palembang, Padang or Lombok. Hope can go there someday. I want to traveling Indonesia, my own country, my beloved and beautiful country.

Now is June 23, 2009, what should I do? Summer is still long until go-back-to-school thingy on July 13, 2009. I hope more fun will come! Where will you go/do for holiday? Just tell me! =D

Okay then, I am going to sleep now. See you next time. Thanks for reading my ‘travel blog’ and.. bye bye!

So, today, after school, I went to Pondok Indah Mall (PIM) to do some shopping with my mom. Suddenly, Yasmine called me. She asked, where was I. Firzi text me too. I don’t ask much when Yasmine said she was going to PIM to meet some of her friends and asked me to accompany her for awhile until her friends come.

I met my mom at 2 pm and Yasmine arrived at PIM on the same time (well, I guess so). When me and my mom decided to go to Es Teller 77 Restaurant to grab some foods, Yasmine wanted to join us. In the middle of lunch, suddenly I heard somebody sing a very familiar song.

“Happy Birthday to you.. Happy Birthday to you..’

It was Arien and Firzi! Hahaha.. I was surprised! The last time I met Arien was at Yasmine’s birthday party on April. They brought some cute cakes from Parish with candles. And it is something I didn’t expected at all! So, I blew the candles and ate the cake. Hehe..

 

Hahaha thank you guys for the surprise! Delicious cake, by the way.. or it’s just me who always hungry when seeing cakes? Hehehe.. but I bet, it’s the cake =D Love you all and you’re the best!

Then, the other good news! My exam week is over which means holiday time! Horay!
I always love June because of school holiday and my birthday Hope this year I can have a good summer holiday. And I’m kinda curious to watch High School Musical The Ice Tour on July.

Gotta go now, thanks for reading my post

Bye bye and see ya’!

Today is June 9, which is my 17th birthday! Horaay hahaa.. =D Well then, this is my first day being 17 and.. I just happy haha.. In Indonesia, there’s no ’sweet sixteen’ but ’sweet seventeen’. In this age, we can get our ID Card, Driver’s License, and vote for president. Sounds cool? Yeah, I guess.

Hmm.. don’t know what to write for now.. But I promise I’ll try to update my blog more often. Thanks for reading my post. Bye bye and see ya’!

By the way, post-exam, I just browsing internet everyday and found a lot of interesting stuffs I wanna buy. But, why now everything is just so expensive? *sigh*

1. Sneakers (Hi-top Black Sneakers by Converse)

Maybe some of you just thought ‘you can buy it everywhere, converse store is everywhere,’. Yes, it is true. But, I never found hi-top black converse with my size! It’s kinda frustrating. My size is EUR 36.5/UK 4 and all these stores have for the smallest size is EUR 38/UK 5!

2. Books

#1 Miley Cyrus : Miles To Go

I have to say I’m not Miley Cyrus big fans, I do like her, but not that much. I like her music. Well, there’s a lot of negatives news about her. But you have to admitted that her songs, her music and her career are great. I want to read her story. It must be so interesting to know her life.

The product description I found in amazon.com:

““There are multiple sides to all of us. Who we are and who we might be if we follow our dreams.”

                                   -Miley Cyrus

Three years ago, Miley Cyrus was a virtual unknown. Her life in rural Tennessee was filled with family, friends, school, cheerleading, and the daily tasks of living on a farm. And then came a little show called Hannah Montana.

Almost overnight, Miley would rocket to superstardom, becoming a television and singing phenomenon. Quiet days were replaced with sold-out concerts, television appearances, and magazine shoots. But through it all, Miley has remained close to her family and friends and has stayed connected to the Southern roots that made her so strong.

In Miles to Go, Miley offers an honest, humorous, and often touching story of one girl’s coming-of-age–from private moments with her pappy to off-roading with her dad, Billy Ray, to her run-ins with mean girls. Miley talks about suffering through drama and heartbreak and coming out the other end unscathed (relatively). And now for the first time, she will discuss it all-the milestones still left to reach (driver’s license! voting!), dreams to live out (travel to Asia! find true love!), and the lessons to be learned (remembering to enjoy every moment!).”

It sounds very interesting, right? I want to read it. But, unfortunately, it’s kinda expensive. IDR 300,000 (or US$30 if US$ 1 = IDR 10,000). Honestly, right now I don’t have money that much. I’ve been saving to buy something else but I want this hahaa. I won’t take my savings to buy this book. It’s not consistent. And I don’t want to ask my parents to buy this for me either. So, I think, I will savings again hahaha..

#2 Twilight: Director’s Notebook: The Story of How We Made the Movie

This book (I can say) hasn’t have a reasonable price. It’s small and less than 200 pages but it costs IDR 275,000! But, I want to read it. Not because I like Twilight (well, yeah I do, but it’s not the main factor), but I want to see the making of this movie. What’s to prepare. How to pick the right casts, how to make the costume, the score, etc. since I am interesting to learn more about Film Studies.

3. CD Soundtrack

# Hannah Montana The Movie Soundtrack

Okay, maybe some of you start thinking I’m a fan of Miley Cyrus hahaha.. This CD hasn’t released in Indonesia. I’ve checked several CD stores in my town, but all they have is the import one which is more expensive. The import can costs IDR 179,000 while the normal edition (not import one) is IDR 75,000. I can save US$ 10 if I buy the normal edition. But, I don’t know when is the release date!

I’ve listen the preview of this album and it sounds great! Especially The Climb by Miley Cyrus. Very wow. And I like the Hoedown Throwdown. It’s a catchy song with dance moves as the lyrics. I can do the Hoedown Throwdown Dance after seeing in Youtube. It’s simple but yet very fun to do. Honestly, I like the cover of the CD. Tennessee and country. Can’t wait for the movie! Hannah Montana The Movie. The trailer is great and I wanna see it! =)

I gotta go, bye bye! Thanks for reading this! See ya’!

Heaven Knows – Rick Price

My friends

keep telling me
That if you really love him,
You’ve gotta set him free
And if he returns in time
I’ll know he’s mine

But tell me, where do I start
‘Coz it’s breakin’ my heart
Don’t wanna let him go

Why I live in despair
‘Coz wide awake or dreamin’,
I know he’s never there
And all the time I act so brave,
I’m shakin’ inside
Why does it hurt me so?

Climb – Miley Cyrus

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there’s a voice inside my head saying
“You’ll never reach it”

The struggles I’m facing
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I’m not breaking

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

‘Cause there’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose

So Close – Jon McLaughlin

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?

We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

Officially Missing You – Tamia

I thought that from this heartache
I could escape
But I fronted long enough to know
There ain’t no way
And today
I’m officially missing you

Now I don’t even know you at all
I don’t know you at all
Well I wish that you would call me right now
So that I could get through to you somehow
But I guess it’s safe to say baby safe to say
That I’m officially missing you

Well I thought I could just get over you baby
But I see that’s something I just can’t do
From the way you would hold me
To the sweet things you told me
I just can’t find a way
To let go of you

First Love – Nikka Costa

Don’t go out and play
I just dream all day
They don’t know what’s wrong with me
And I’m too shy to say

My first love
He thinks that I’m too young
He doesn’t even know
Wish that I could tell him what I’m feeling
’cause I’m feeling my first love

The Call – Regina Spektor

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

Just because everything’s changing
Doesn’t mean it’s never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war

 Maybe I’ll post another one if I find more interesting lyrics. But for me, these lyrics reflecting me for now. Especially the first song. Hahaha. Okay then, sorry I did not post something that even more interesting than this. I’m kinda tired today so maybe I want to take a rest first =)

Thanks for reading my post this time! Bye bye and see ya’!
