I am floating between hopes.



I think I have to put my mind on a DIET!

Sweet Pea - Amos Lee

Sweet Pea
Apple of my heart
Don’t know when and I don’t know why
You’re the only reason I keep on coming home

Sweet Pea
What’s all this about
Don’t get your way all you do is fuss and pout
You’re the only reason I keep on coming home

I’m like the rock of Gibralter
I always seem to falter
And the words just get in the way
Oh I know I’m gonna crumble
I’m trying to say humble
But I never think before I say

~ Instrumental break~

Sweet Pea
Keeper of my soul
I know sometimes I’m out of control
You’re the only reason I keep on coming home
You’re the only reason I keep on coming yeah
You’re the only reason I keep on coming home





Have u heard about this guy, Amos Lee?



Amos Lee is an American singer-songwriter born in 1978 whose gentle style fuses elements of jazz, folk and country. He learned his craft while at University and soon after he graduated his intended career in teaching was abandoned, replaced by a career in music. A self produced five song EP introduced his talents to Blue Note Records and to Norah Jones, who invited him to open for her on her 2004 tour.



His first album was released in 2005 and did well on the US Heatseekers chart, reaching No.2. Several of the songs were picked up by television shows, including House and Grey's Anatomy. His second and most recent album is Supply and Demand the success of which has consolidated his earlier accomplishment.

mi papa.


"The picture was taken about 3-4 years ago, i kindda forget.."



It's difficult to express how I feel about my father.
I can really hate him sometimes for being so identical with me.
We were born under the same star sign, which could really explain our similarity.
I even able to presume, what is he going to do under some conditions.
All I have to do is thinking, what am I going to do in that same conditions.

But there's also time when I really miss him.
Times when I started to think, what have I done to make him proud of me?
I know, he had always done his best. I know.

The thought of losing him, make me shed my tears of sorrow.
Wondering what is it gonna be without him around me.
Who else gonna calm me down, when everything around me just splitting?
Who's gonna fix the toilet lamp, when it's, all in the sudden, broken?

My worst thought is, what if today is my last day to see you?
Having you sit next to me, while we're watching your favorite TV show?
Thousands 'what if' strike to my mind.
And it's hurting to know, maybe you wish I can be a better daughter.

Trust me, Pa, I always try.
Not in the best way, I know.. My ego still control the biggest part of me.

I want you to know Pa, I am proud to be your daughter.
I love you more than anything i could describe in this mighty world.
Even if we spent the rest of our life, having our stupid little fight.


PS : Dear Ma and Pa, I promise you guys I will always try to do my best so that anytime soon you can feel it too, the way I feel about having you guys in my life, proud. I could never describe how much I love you guys, but i bet you know it already.

LOVE
Your daughter, Oya.

I See

I see GOD.




I see HIM every second in my life, even somewhere in between.

I do believe you see HIM too.

But I’m not sure we’re seeing HIM in the same perspective.
