"There are things

that we never want

to let go of, 

people we never want 

to leave behind.

But keep in mind 

that letting go 

isn’t the end of the world,

it’s the beginning 

of a new life."

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

We know spray cans no longer contain harmful CFCs but are they HCFCs free? Read here...
