(Today, no matter what, I WILL ask her out. I feel that now is the time that I finally speak out and tell her how I feel. I can't let fear hold me back; I will show her today how much I love her.)
Saphie and Rain walking through the streets of downtown...
(Oh there she is. Wow she looks beautiful. Alright man, today's the day.)
S: "Hey Rain, well you're looking good today. What's the occasion?"
R: "Ohh nothing", giggles, "I'm here to impress someone".
(What! Holy mother, is this a dream? Your speech might not be needed after all dude! I think she's talking about you!)
S: "Ohhh, who's the unlucky guy" (If she's talking about me anyways, might as well joke around first.)
R: "Hey!" laughs "he's not unlucky, he has me.", we start walking and she looks as if trying to remember something, "he's so hot man, and he's probably like the most gentlemanly guy I've met. Like the way he talks to me, wow I just get mesmerized"
(Oh wow, really? Nice! She considers me hot! Wooo! And gentlemanly but she said hot first! Saphie I think you're gonna have your dream come true!)
S: "Oh really? You like this guy? Hmm... do I know him?" (let's see if I can set this up and then I can tell her.)
R: "Yeah! I think you know him quite well! He's so charming, the way he talks to me and calls me pretty! I've known him for years and he's been so caring of me. I think he likes me too, I might finally have a boyfriend. I don't know, I've never felt this before. I don't know if you have but this feeling, it's so strange. Like every time I look at him, talk to him and just THINK about him; I feel something. I've never had a boyfriend so I don't know, but I think I'm falling in love..."
(DUDE! This is you man! Really! She in love with you! Oh forget this 'you' thing. She's in love with ME! Tell her man! Tell her! I think she came here today to tell you how she feels about me. But I have to tell her first, I've held this in for far too long. She looks so beautiful in this cold air, it looks like a modern fairytale movie.
(sigh, "Rain... all throughout these years I've also been feeling something. This feeling, just like yours, I can't explain. Whenever I get this feeling inside my heart, I never want to let it go. My heart just starts beating with love. And I only get this feeling when I'm with YOU! Rain, I'm in love with you! After all these years, I feel as if you have become a part of me. Someone who can look deep into my eyes and know what I am feeling. I can say the same for you. I've always been there beside and with you when you were hurt, even when you didn't show it. I looked in your eyes, even when you seemed happy, and knew that you were hurt. Without you, I don't know where I would be. Without your love I would be helpless. But now I understand this feeling; this love for you. I love you Rain, I really love you!")
R: "...um... hey! Hello there... you ok? Who's dreams are you lost in" giggles, "anyways. You know him really well, and the reason I met you here is to tell you face to face, since you ARE my best friend. I'm going to meet him at the same time as your work shift, so I thought that why not tell you as you're going to work. So yeah, he's your best friend Destasy. Really man, I think I'm seriously in love with him..."

Top 50 Bollywood Love Songs From 2000-2009
So I was Bollywood-ing through Youtube and I came across a set of videos titled 'Top 50 Bollywood Love Songs From 2000-20009', and so I got excited and started listening. I absolutely love these songs and it's a great way to find more songs and add to my collection xD. Anyways, the videos are in sets of 9 songs descending from #50 to #1. The videos only contain a short bit of each song but they are well chosen bits. If you listen to all of them, which will take a LONG time, I'm sure you'll find a few songs that you really like. This series features some of my favorite, and of course my all time favorite, singers such as Atif Aslam (wooot), A. R. Rahman (wooot xD), Shreya Goshal (she's so talented!), Shaan, Javed Ali and much more. Anyways, less talk from me; more songs from Bollywood.
Top 50 Bollywood Love Songs from 2000-2009 (#50-41)
Top 50 Bollywood Love Songs from 2000-2009 (#40-31)

Top 50 Bollywood Love Songs from 2000-2009 (#20-11)
Top 50 Bollywood Love Songs from 2000-2009 (#10-1)
This is the most crucial part of the list and not everyone has the same opinion for the Top 10 songs. Haha although I loved this collection for top 10, I still my favorite song Tera Hone Laga Hoon should have been on there. But like I said, great list otherwise!

Yet Another Song You Should Listen To
It's called "O Humdum Suniyo Re", which mean "O my soulmate, listen". Lol more/less.
It's got a really great rhythm to it, like a song from backstreet boys. It's sung by a few of Bollywood's greatest singers, for the movie Saathiya (means Beloved); KK(his name's too long so everyone calls him KK), Shaan (awesome singer), Kunal Ganjawala, and Pravin Mani. This song isn't new, as the movie came out in 2002. However it won 13 awards in a period of a month. So yeah, enjoy!

Servant of a Dark God
So I've been bored at home with nothing to do because of the exam break. I should be doing my assignments but meh, I'll do that Sunday night as usual. So to pass my time through this boredom, I've started reading this book;
Servant of a Dark God, written by John Brown. It's a pretty recent book that came out late last year. I got tempted to sign out this book from the public library (surprising how the library FINALLY comes out with a book I want), after I read some reviews on the internet. It's a complex fantasy story, which reviewers said was unlike any other fantasy story in long time. Many said that it is a very complex story to read and requires keen reading. So I got tempted and now I'm reading it. I'm not very far but it's really exciting how it's building up so far. And yes I agree, this story is quite complex and requires close attention when reading because of the multiple perspectives that are present. But I have to admit, this is a pretty great fantasy novel so far, and I haven't read anything quite like it in a long while. So once I finish this novel I'll probably come back here and rant about it some more.
As far as I've read, I can't recommend anything yet. But once I finish, that might change. Bye!

Chupke Se Aaye (Hidden I Come)...
A really lovely song by my favorite singer Atif Aslam. It's called Chupke Se Aaye but the video subtitle calls it Kyun Chhor Gaye, which means Why Have You Left. I like the original title better because it the song talks about how he has hidden love for the girl. Anyways less words, more song. Enjoy!

First Man in Space...
I have a question. A simple question. An answer you can immediately find just by typing it in a search engine. Who was the first man in space?
...Well? Did you search it up? Or maybe you already know...
...I'm assuming that the name Yuri Gagarin came up first. Yet we often forget about the smaller individuals.
Through the help of astronomical government acknowledgement, we often say that Yurin Gagarin was the first man in space. He used a rocket I believe.
I believe the truly first man in space was Joseph Kittinger. He flew to an unimaginable 102, 800 feet (31 km), using a balloon. At that height the body would feel almost the same effects as one would if orbit the Earth at a higher altitude. So at 31 km above the Earth, conditions are indeed space-like. He, in a sense, reached space. Then he took the biggest, and truly the highest step at the time by doing what no one could possibly have the courage to do. He jumped.
He didn't fall, rather he accelerated; and boy did he accelerate. He reached a speed of 990 km/h, which (at one point) broke the sound-barrier. He was not only the first man in space, but he was also the first man to break the sound barrier without an aircraft.
Yuri Gagarin went up to be the first man to travel in space, which is a monumental task indeed and will definitely be recorded in the history books. However he was still the second man in space entirely. He went up in 1961.
Joseph Kittinger was truly the first man in space, as he went up to take the world's, as well as human-kind's, highest step at 102,800 feet in 1960.
I really enjoyed writing the poem below 'Why Do We Explore...' one. I tried so hard to keep a steady rhythm and have an appealing rhythmic meter. I especially like how it flows in such a manner that after 5 or 6 syllables the word itself acts like a pause because of it nature. But yeah really enjoyed writing this one. Hope you like it as much as me.

Why Do We Explore Such an Irrelevant Place?
Why do we explore such an irrelevant place,
That acts to enforce a challenging race;
That becomes a lure to its magnificent grace;
Why do we explore the vastness of space?
Why did we explore our beautiful world,
That became a jewel from an unknown swirl;
Where those who embarked sailed through the storms that hurled;
Why did the unknown become our glorious world?
Why did we explore our mysterious past,
That showed us the truths to what was aghast;
That led us to love our Distant Worlds alas;
Why did the future become a whole new Class?
Why do our questions that we ask at start,
That create a sense of some vicious dart;
Where the key behold is attacked at the Heart;
Why do the answers make the questions fall apart?
Is this yet still an irrelevant place,
Where breaking the rhythm challenges Our pace;
Where the examples of Earth give reasons to embrace;
Is there more to this question than just of space?

Christa McAuliffe
History is a mysterious course that I can only unravel further, as history itself progresses today. I've spent a great deal of time studying history and spreading my knowledge to others. That, you can say, is my inspiration. Quite common, in a sense, considering I teach it. Actually 'teach' sounds like a bad word regarding history, one cannot merely teach such a subject. One can only learn history once they live through the times and the ages. Yet another inspiration I've been striving to achieve. We all know that some of history's greatest events took rise because of inspiration enacted by ordinary people, maybe I can join that row of greatness one day.
1984:
Ordinary is given a chance to become extraordinary, that's what I have been taught throughout my years of learning in universities. I want my students, although young, to bring this inspiration to light. I have followed it this far, and I might finally get to live up to it; not here on Earth... but 300 km above it orbiting at thousands of kilometers per hour.
Ronald Reagan has opened that door, rather the sky. In this competition between some 11, 000 other teachers nationwide, I have a feeling that I will indeed be the one to rise. It's as if history has predetermined it. Although I am but one applicant in this Teacher in Space Project, I have the support of a thousand inspirations. Kind of strange but historic indeed. Yet this is not for fame, never do I intend it to be. My reason is for inspiration and history itself. As I said before, one can only learn history once they live the times and the ages. My history is being written the way I intended.
1985:
By now my historic journal has probably become a chronological encyclopedia, and I am grateful to say that my historic monument is soon arriving. To others unknown around the world I may be of unheard nature, and I'll probably be no more heard of even after my endeavor in space. That is not my worry at all. This will probably be my greatest achievement ever, recorded in history books as The first teacher in space, but is not, and will never be my intent to pursue fame. I pursue the spread of knowledge, and the realization of what true history is. I may have begun as a small town student; grown up to be a high school teacher, but even then I have followed my speckle of inspiration to guide me this far. I do it for them, to let them write their own histories in a world that is becoming too intimidating.
And so today is the marvel that I have dreamed about for years. I started as an applicant a year ago, today I can finally pursue my dream without competition. Today it was announced that I will be the first teacher in space. I am given the honourable task of teaching from space. From ordinary to history; the cycle repeats yet again.
"Although you may not know me, I will be your teacher in a year. Don't worry though, it will only be for 15 minutes. And I promise, by the end this will be your favorite classroom that you have ever imagined. You ask where this exactly is. Look up at the night sky and you might see a speckle of imagination sprinkling at thousands of kilometers per hour."
1986:
"We have main engine start...4...3...2...1... and lift off... lift-off of the 25th Space Shuttle mission and it has cleared the tower."
...
...
...
"All systems normal and Challenger's on its way!"
...
...
...
...
...
...
"It seems there has been... oh God. It seems there has been an explosion..."

Dubai...
Behind what is good,
There is the inevitable.
Something we cannot escape,
No matter how perfect the visual.
A trip to a land,
Where perfection is key.
To let the wise decide;
The king is the only one, free.
Landmarks and beauty,
Unimaginable to the mind.
Shapes and sizes unmatched,
Not a single brick misaligned.
A central hub of success;
Millionaires and hopefuls reside.
They are called into Light...
...Cannot step back Outside.
Their freedoms are locked,
To their king's dreams.
Where is the money
That was promised by supremes?
Now they are locked; stuck,
No passports to leave.
Is this such a magnificent place?
Such a place you will not believe...

Kurbaan Hua...
Hey, I was watching some music videos from some Bollywood movies one day and I came across this one video from a recent movie called Kurbaan, which means Sacrifice. It was a really good movie but I never watched the music video for its title song "Kurbaan Hua", which means "I am Sacrified". When I saw this video I was absolutely stunned at the 1) quality 2) the art 3) and the symbolism that are present to convey its message, which is about sacrifice. Lol I think I'm focusing too hard and applying English tooo much but I can see the message so clearly with the symbols they've used. Hope you enjoy!
Friday, January 15, 2010
Wow was that poem below hard to write. Took so much thinking and it doesn't seem as perfect as I wanted it. The message is still there but I could use devices more strategically to make it much more artistic. But from all the thinking I just did for this I think I'll edit it later. Haha anyone have an opinion as to how I could incorporate devices more strategically with regards to the message I'm trying to convey? Thanks
This World...
It has never been perfect,

A Year of Blogging...
So I guess I successfully completed one year of my first-time blogging, and I'm really glad to say that over that time period I posted 119 posts/poems/stories/pictures. This goes to show that although I complain a lot about how boring life is, some things or events will inevitably occur and result in my interpretations and ultimately, blogging. Haha so I wonder what this year will bring for this blog. You never know.
