"There are things

that we never want

isn’t the end of the world,

ANOTHER SUITCASE IN ANOTHER HALL (Evita*)


LYRICS


I don't expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it - wouldn't you?

So what happens now?
Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
You'll get by, you always have before
Where am I going to?

Time and time again I've said that I don't care
That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me - and they do

So what happens now?
Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
You'll get by you always have before
Where am I going go?

Call in three months time and I'll be fine I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow
I won't recall the names and places of Each sad occasion
But that's no consolation -- here and now

So what happens now?
Another suitcase in another hall
So what happens now?
Take your picture off another wall
Where am I going to?
You'll get by, you always have before
Where am I going to?
Don't ask anymore


*The musical "Evita," which was based on the life of Argentinian leader Eva Perón, originated from the 1976 concept album of the same name, co-written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Patty Hearst Story (last part)

From Patty Hearst to Tania: Shifting from one Personality Paradigm to Another

continued from 2nd to last part

But what may have solidified her identification with her captors was the fact that she witnessed them die when the police surrounded their safe-house and open-fired on them. By this time, Hearst became convinced that all the things they were telling her were true and that the cops now wanted to kill her. Patty then was already brainwashed.

Brainwashing, Stockholm Syndrome or defense mechanism -- the real reason for Patty Hearst’s personality transformation remains shrouded in mystery. Despite the many theories used to explain the incident, people could only be sure of one thing. Somewhere, at some point in time, something happened in Patty Hearst’s life -- and that molded her into the person that she was before and after her nightmare.

ONE MORE TIME


LYRICS


Nothing I must do
Nowhere I should be
No one in my life
To answer to, but me
No more candlelights
No more purple skies
No one to be near
As my heart slowly dies

Chorus:
If I could hold you One More Time
Like in the days when you were mine
I'd look at you
Till I was blind
So you would stay
I'd say a pray each time you smile
Cradle the moments like a child
I'd stop the world if only I
Could hold you one more time
Mmmmmm. . .

I've memorized your face
I know your touch by heart
Still lost in your embrace
I dream of where you are

Chorus

ErasingTraumatic Memories

We all have bad memories, right? Sheesh, who doesn't? However, for some people, their past experiences are so horrid that it causes them nightmares, violent flashbacks, and other debilitating post-traumatic disorders. Fortunately, neurobiologists from the Medical College of Georgia, USA, discovered a technique to eliminate undesirable memories from our minds, without leaving any consequential damages to our brains.

STRONG


LYRICS

My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when I'm drunk I dance like me dad
I've started to dress a bit like him
Early morning when I wake up
I look like Kiss but without the make up
And thats a good line to take it to The bridge

And you know and you know
'Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow so before
I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song

My bed's full of takeaways and fantasies of easy lays
The pause button's broke on my video
And is this real 'cos I feel fake, Oprah Winfrey, Ricky Lake
Teach me things I don't need to know

And you know and you know
'Cos my life's a mess
And it starting to show so before
I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song

If I did it all again I'd be a nun
The rain was never cold when I was young
I'm still young we're still young (step inside the sun)
Life's too short to be afraid
Step inside the sun

And you know and you know
'Cos my life's a mess
And I'm starting to show
hey hey !

You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song

Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame

Patty Hearst Story (2nd to last part)

From Patty Hearst to Tania: Shifting from one Personality Paradigm to Another

Photo of Hearst taken by the San Mateo County Sheriff following her arrest on bank robbery and gun charges in September 1975.





continued from part 6

In brainwashing, the person’s identity may shift from one to another. A happy and satisfied individual then may turn into someone filled with discontent and grievances. Because Patty was under duress and the situation she was in was distressing, her psychological makeup was susceptible to being altered. She was bombarded with the SLA’s dogma about how society was cruel and how the underprivileged suffered. In addition to this, her captors repeatedly attacked how being rich was a fault on her part. They also told her that her parents no longer cared for her as they no longer met the ransom demands and that the cops were not going to get her out of her current state. All of these were too much for Patty to handle particularly because her life prior to the incident was protected and safe. Hence, she yielded to the SLA’s brainwashing techniques. (last part)

My Thoughts: Response to "Love Worth Finding"

These 2 lines struck me and are the basis of my response to "Love Worth Finding". I don't have a title for this yet... Just scribbling down my thoughts... Just thinking out loud...






"IN ORDER TO FIND LOVE MY DARLING, WE MUST PART.

IF DESTINY PERMITS, WE WILL MEET AGAIN"






Why, in heaven’s name, do two people drift apart in the first place, if they are meant to meet again in the future?

Maybe it's meant that way...

Time and distance has something to do with it...

It plays a factor in molding us into what we need to be...

Life is a process.

We need to be with other people in order to find ourselves...

And when we finally find ourselves, only then will we realize who and what we value.

Then destiny brings us together again, same yet different people than what we used to be, for love to work better, maybe.

True love is worth finding... fighting... resolving...waiting... and going back to again.

Sadly though, true love is such a rarity...

And sometimes, discerning love from true love can be tricky...

Perhaps, that's why we need to part ways...

To go through the process of finding, fighting, resolving, waiting and going back to...

again.



♥♥

Love Worth Finding

Hey all!

This one's written by my co-writer LD51. I asked her permission to post it here. It's quite sentimental and touching. I also composed my response, my own expression of thoughts. Give it a check, if you care :-)





LOVE WORTH FINDING


IN ORDER TO FIND LOVE MY DARLNG, WE MUST PART.

IF DESTINY PERMITS, WE WILL MEET AGAIN.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO LOVE ME BACK?

IT IS MY DESIRE AS YOUR QUEEN, TO TAKE CARE OF YOU, MY KING.

PLEASE PUT ALL BITTERNESS ASIDE,

AND COME IN FROM THE DARKNESS, INTO MY WORLD OF BRILLIANT LIGHT,

SO WE CAN CHERISH AND NOURISH EACH OTHER.

DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, GUIDE US,

SO WE CAN MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS IN OUR LIFE,

TO ACHIEVE AGAIN, JOY, PEACE AND HAPPINESS.

WE LOVE YOU LORD AND WE NEED YOU.

BLESS OUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH, OUR HOME,

AND OUR MOST DESIRE IS TO HELP US FIND YOUR WORTHY LOVE,

"BECAUSE OUR LOVE IS WORTH FINDING."

I'LL BE OVER YOU

LYRICS

Some people live their dreams
Some people close their eyes
Some people's destiny
Passes by

There are no guarantees
There are no alibis
That's how our love must be
Don't ask why

Bridge:
It takes some time
God knows how long
I know that I can forget you

Chorus:
As soon as my heart stops breakin'
Anticipating
As soon as forever is through
I'll be over you

Remembering times gone by
Promises we once made
What are the reasons why
Nothing stays the same

Bridge:
There were the nights holding you close
Someday I'll try to forget them
Someday I'll be over you

Chorus

HCFCs in Aerosol Cans

What are Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs)?

Hydrochlorofluorocarbons or HCFCs are compounds containing hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, and carbon atoms. Although ozone depleting substances, they are less potent at destroying stratospheric ozone than chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). They have been introduced as temporary replacements for CFCs and are also greenhouse gases. -www.epa.gov

Patty Hearst Story (part 6)

From Patty Hearst to Tania: Shifting from one Personality Paradigm to Another

On April 15, 1974, Hearst as Tania, was photographed wielding an M1 Carbine in the SLA robbery of the Hibernia Bank- Sunset District branch in San Francisco.









continued from part 5

In relation to the preceding statements, behavioral psychology would explain Hearst’s behavior in terms of learned helplessness. In this phenomenon, the individual gives up fighting for what she wants and becomes powerless. After having been subjected to traumatizing experiences such as being raped by the SLA and being blindfolded and kept in a closet throughout her ordeal, she may have felt as if there was no point in trying to fight. Furthermore, this feeling may have been increased by the standstill of the negotiation for her freedom when her parents withdrew from responding to the demands of the group after their initial response of giving free food in exchange for Patty was exploited by various people. The enhanced feeling of hopelessness turned her helpless and she allowed her captors to take control of her life. Unfortunately, this made Patty more vulnerable to being brainwashed.

TRANSLATION:

I loved all the love there is for you
All the love there is
And all my time I lived for you
All my time
My darling tell the world with me
And tell every heart that beats with feeling
Oh world my love, my love, and my love
This lifetime is love and nothing else
Water me and fill me
And water me again
Water me again with love
From you
From the light of my time
Water me oh one who from the moment I saw you
I felt that I was recreated

Soul of my heart oh life of my days
Oh soul of my heart
Oh darling angel of my dreams
Oh soul of my heart
What was I before I saw you?
What was I?
I walked the path of my life with you heart in a long night
No heart beside me feel for me and no beautiful spectre
And what I saw you for the first time
I saw you with all the desire in the world, and you found me
Tied to you
And with all the love in the world inside me I came to and ran to you
I called out to the world itself
And my whole heart feels with every beat
Oh world my love, my love and my love
This lifetime is love and nothing else

The thirsty love is thirsting in my heart with it's hand out to you
You are more delicate than a puff of air and more beautiful than an angel
You are my soul, all my years and the light of my life
What is my life compared to you
My darling I was created for you, I just barely exist because of you
Because of you
And my heart lived on the touch of your affection
Just barely lived on the touch of your affection
Your affection
Sweetness of the days
Sweetness of the dreams
Sweetness of my life
The sweetness, oh my!
Sweetness passes so fast
Sweetness with me my life
Oh time, oh time, oh time
Oh long nights with beautiful dreams... with you
Oh time, oh time, oh time
Oh nights that kill my hopes and render us to ashes
What is there is they forget two in love
Living, melting
Living telling with world itself
And my whole heart feels with every beat
Oh world my love, my love, and my love
My darling aroma of desire
Oh my destiny from the nights of desire
Is this poetry, this speech in your eyes?
It makes the most beautiful words change
It this perfrume, this aroma in your hands?
Your hands say check out this aroma
From the spring that is in your lips
From the nights that are in your eyes
From the flame that is at your sides
From the affection that is in your hands
My soul got lost on a journey and I got lost in it
Hide me from time
Far from the eyes that know me
On the great joy is my fear, don't take it and leave me
Let's tell the world itself
And my whole heart feels with every beat
Oh world my love, my love and my love
This lifetime is love and nothing else

Patty Hearst Story (part 5)

From Patty Hearst to Tania: Shifting from one Personality Paradigm to Another

Patty Hearst joined the SLA and posed as Tania for this publicity photo. Behind her is the SLA's emblem of a seven-headed cobra.






continued from part 4

Initially, these thoughts were okay because they allowed her to stay alive, with the SLA realizing that she was starting to see things from their perspective. After all, they could now use her as a means to get the world to listen to them. Eventually though, her newly acquired perceptions evolved into an emotional bond with one of the SLA members. She may have started to feel that individual’s pain and fell in love with him. When this happened, she also made his principles as the center of her life and abandoned her real self and became a neo-revolutionist like her lover. Hence, even when she had the chance to escape from the SLA, Patty no longer sought for freedom. (to be continued...)

Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's
in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
from sages
You know it's true
All the feelings come back to you

Sing it with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing it with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away

Yeah, sing it with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing it with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On, AHHHHHHH

Sing it with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing it with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing it with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing it with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away......

Apple iPhone 3G 16GB (Black)

I saw an ad on TV that left me salivating for the product. No, it's not food. I'm talking about the Apple iPhone 3G 16GB (Black). It is a 3-in-1 wonder which combines an uber chic mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a state-of-the-art internet communications device into a 4.7 oz easy to carry handheld gadget.

It has an improved audio feature for clearer calls and music, and offers an excellent video experience. During my research, I found out, however, that the Apple iPhone 3G 16GB has its own weaknesses. The battery runs out quickly under heavy use and the 3G connection is quite shaky. Even the e-mail syncing tends to be faulty at times.

Overall, the Apple iPhone 3G 16GB is a big improvement over the first model, and despite some glitches, it still is a pretty amazing product.

ONE LAST BREATH


LYRICS


Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Chorus
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out 'Heaven save me'
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say
Let me say

Chorus (Repeat Twice)
I'm so far down

Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking...

Chorus (Repeat Twice)

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe

Patty Hearst Story (part 4)

From Patty Hearst to Tania: Shifting from one Personality Paradigm to Another

On February 4, 1974, Patty Hearst, then 19 years old, was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) from the Berkeley, California, apartment she shared with her fiancé Steven Weed.



continued from part 3

It is possible too that Hearst developed Stockholm Syndrome -- a coping mechanism that abused people employ in order to remain alive and avoid more pain. However, Stockholm Syndrome could actually become maladaptive when the person, due to the length of time spent with the abuser, could no longer move on with her own life. In Patty’s case, she may have formed a sense of loyalty to her captors after having been exposed to them for sometime. Her own physical and emotional pains were too much that she dissociated from these and instead focused on her kidnappers. She saw that they were human beings and like her, they have had painful experiences in their lives that made them the way they were. Somewhere in their hearts, they were wounded. They also had feelings. Therefore, they were not bad through and through. (to be continued...)

The Great Pyramid of Giza

If you have the opportunity to travel, where would you want to go? Me, I got so many amazing places in mind, but top of the list is the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, also known as Khufu's Pyramid or the Pyramid of Khufu, and Pyramid of Cheops.

The Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed as the tomb of fourth dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu. What draws me to it is the fact that it is said to be the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The others which were already destroyed are: Hanging Gardens of Babylon,Statue of Zeus at Olympia,Temple of Artemis at Ephesus,Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus,Colossus of Rhodes and Lighthouse of Alexandria.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis. Like many ancient relics, it is enveloped by great perplexities. According to world-mysteries.com:


'...the Giza Pyramids were built by the Fourth Dynasty Pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkhare, as tombs. Yet not one of their bodies was found in any of them. The King’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid was discovered to be completely empty upon its opening, its Stone Box sealed but vacant. In the Belzoni Chamber, beneath the Second Pyramid, a stone box was found like the one in the Great Pyramid, but it too contained no corpse. In 1878, a sarcophagus with a mummy inside was brought to light in the Third Pyramid. Though both the sarcophagus and mummy were lost at sea during their transport to the British Museum, samples had been taken from them, and when later analyzed by radiocarbon dating techniques, they were found to be from a fairly late date, only 2,000 to 2,500 years ago.'


Chilling isn't it? But, that's only the tip of the iceberg or shall I say 'tip of the Great Pyramid of Giza'. There's more, I know, but for now, I can only dream of being there :-)

Patty Hearst Story (part 3)

From Patty Hearst to Tania: Shifting from one Personality Paradigm to Another

Patty Hearst and fiancé Steven Weed
before the kidnapping incident.



continued from part 2

On the other hand, her personality change could also be an unconscious result of reaction-formation, a defense mechanism wherein an individual acts opposite of how she really feels. Patty had a sheltered life before her abduction so she hated what happened to her and despised being kidnapped. But she could not face this fact so instead she embraced what happened and acted as if she was one with the SLA in their pursuit of their so-called purpose. The problem was that the defense mechanism became overwhelming that she could no longer disengage from it. (to be continued...)

Shopping for an Apple Laptop Computer

I'm planning to get myself a laptop. Of the many brands in the market, I have my eyes firmly set on an Apple, otherwise known as Mac notebooks (MacBooks). Phew! It must cost a fortune. Time to scrimp on unnecessary stuff and begin saving asap. Anyhow, I scoured the net to read about it's performance and benefits. Luckily, I stumbled across a very helpful article on ehow.com. It discusses the different varieties of MacBooks and individual features. It also give the readers some handy tips on which model to pick. I discovered that the prices range from $1,000 for the basic MacBook to $2,000 up for the MacBook Pro.

I think MacBook Air would suit me best; it's supposed to be light and easier to carry while traveling. In fact, it's dubbed "The world's thinnest notebook"-- just perfect for my kind of job & personality. I still have to read some reviews about it though. Meantime... I need to scrimp! save! scrimp! LOL

Patty Hearst Story (part 2)

From Patty Hearst to Tania: Shifting from one Personality Paradigm to Another

Young Patty Hearst before her kidnapping.



continued from part 1

Since discovering that Hearst robbed a bank, many speculated on the possible reasons of her sudden identity transformation. The American public could not understand how someone who belonged to a prominent family could rapidly turn cruel and heartless. There were hearsays claiming that Hearst was associated with the SLA even before her kidnapping. Some theorized that her falling in love with one of the members influenced the change. Still, there were also those who believed that she was brainwashed into accepting the SLA’s ideologies.

If there is truth in Hearst’s association with the SLA before her abduction then her behavior afterwards could then be explained as the revelation of her true self. If this is the case, then Patty would have already sympathized with the creed of the SLA and was already against the rich. But because she, herself, was loaded she felt guilty about her wealth. In order to combat her culpability, she compensated for it by joining the group. (to be continued...)

'Who'd Of Known' is a new song from Ms Lily Allen. She posted it on her MySpace 2 months ago, indicating however that she won't be including it on her next album. Anyway, the song has a nice feel to it, so I thought I'd put it up here. Happy listening!

WHO'D OF KNOWN


LYRICS

It's 5 o'clock in the morning
Conversation got boring
You said you're going to bed soon
So I snuck off to your bedroom
And I thought I'd just wait there
Til I heard you come up the stairs
I pretended I was sleeping
And I was hoping you would creep in
With me

You put your arm around my shoulder
It was as if the room got colder
We moved closer in together
And started talking bout the weather
Said tomorrow would be fun
We can watch A Place In The Sun
I didn't know where this was going
When you kissed me

Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Cause I stay here all the time
Watching telly, drinking wine
Who'da known, who'da known
When you flash up on my phone
I'd no longer feel alone
No longer feel alone

I haven't left here for days now
And I'm becoming amazed how
You're quite affectionate in public
In fact, your friend said it made her feel sick
And even though it's moving forward
There's just the right amount of awkward
And today you accidentally
Called me baby

Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Cause I stay here all the time
Watching telly, drinking wine
Who'da known, who'da known
When you flash up on my phone
I'd no longer feel alone

Let's just stay
Let's just stay
I wanna lie in bed all day
We'll be laughing all the way
Told your friends
They all know
We exist but we're taking it slow
Now let's just see how we go
Now let's see how we go

Let's just stay
Let's just stay
I wanna lie in bed all day
We'll be laughing all the way
Told your friends
They all know
We exist but we're taking it slow
Now let's just see how we go
Now let's see how we go

Patty Hearst Story (part 1)

From Patty Hearst to Tania:
Shifting from one Personality Paradigm to Another

The abduction of Patty Hearst in 1974 was no ordinary kidnap story. She was a Berkeley undergraduate and was the heiress of the Hearst publishing empire. But what made her case more extraordinary was the fact that after having been held for ransom by the Symbionese Liberation Army or SLA, Patty Hearst joined the neo-revolutionary group and became one of them. She denounced her parents, dismissed her fiancé, announced that she loathed the wealthy way of life and upheld the principles of those who kidnapped her, changed her name to Tania and became romantically involved with one of the members. Like the soldiers of the SLA, Hearst became a callous and angry revolutionist out to get the rich and avenge the underprivileged.

Along with some of the group’s members, an excited Hearst robbed San Francisco’s Hibernia Bank two months after she was held captive. After wounding two bystanders and taking over $ 10,000 with them, the group fled the scene. Later on, she was seen sitting alone in a van and waiting for two of her colleagues, Emily and Bill Harris, to come back from shoplifting. When authorities apprehended them, Patty cold-bloodedly fired a series of warning shots, screaming "let them go, you mother f*ckers or you’re all dead!" The three escaped with no injuries. For a year and a half, Hearst spent her life on the run until she was found in an apartment and arrested by the FBI. (to be continued...)
