matter vs manner?

In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

my new obsession

starting out with a relatively lame song-you'r beautiful from james blunt, i couldn't help to fall in love with the voice, the expression and the air he created in the song...though lame in terms of the lyrics, the music and the emotion touched me to the very depth of my heart...

one day, after a tv show, i heard his singing again and this one isn't lame, it's just a marvelously performed piece. every word vibrates throughout the melody and it's again another vivid story being told through his style of singing...

and that is my new obsession called "cry"...the lyrics is especially appreciable, i would love such a friend! the other one i like is "too late"




I have seen peace. I have seen pain,
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.

I have seen birth. I have seen death.
Lived to see a lover's final breath.
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
And if you want to talk about it once again,
On you I depend. I'll cry on your shoulder.
You're a friend.

You and I have been through many things.
I'll hold on to your heart.
I wouldn't cry for anything,
But don't go tearing your life apart.

I have seen fear. I have seen faith.
Seen the look of anger on your face.
And if you want to talk about what will be,
Come and sit with me, and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.

OMG

i am doonneeee!!!! with my last horrifying exam for this semester. though there are two more big ones to come--qualifying by the end of this year, i am not going to worry about them just yet.

CMB....it is such a torture. everytime, i had to use all my brain cells, including the dead ones to see what i could get out of them in order to fill in the information. i don't ever want to do that again. i shouldn't have to memorize so many molecules! i think i manage to get a B if not better and with this i am going to make up for my lack of sleep now. and the breakouts on my face and (this) and (that)....it's all over now.

i am looking forward to taking french and no more science courses for a while.

phew...^o^"

no pain no gain...i have the pain, so where's my gain?

well...to make a long agony short, i am complaining about my neck+shoulder pain. it's chronic and i have suffered from it tremendously though it is not as serious at times. i don't know what i can do with my chronic muscle strain...if anyone has any clues, please pass on the tips.

no pain no gain, i understand and that's how it works with each of my horrifying CMB exam. this is the last one, and it's extremely hard to study for because of my physical pain as well as my summer fever! Ouch... at least for the exam, i gain the knowledge, but what do i get from my back pain??? it's not fair...
