Short Post To Say That I'm Alive

Hi all,

I apologize for the slow updates. I've been super busy with job interviews and house-hunting that I kept on putting blogging aside.

I just want to say hi and that all is well.

I am listening to music a lot lately. Going back to some of the older songs I used to listen to. There is a Chinese song by the Taiwanese band F.I.R. that touched me when I first heard it, and is still special in my heart. Thought I'd share it with everyone.



Ba Ai Fang Kai (Let Go of Love) ~ F.I.R.

Opening Quote:

"To see her falling apart, utterly helpless... I suddenly realize that this has all been a mistake.. or should I call it a challenge?

We never looked back. For the first time, I feel.. afraid... about destroying someone"

Quote on Screen:

"If I can still hold you with my arms... I only gave myself one chance for regret...

and yet... neither one of us looked back..."


Lyrics:


"When you began to chase the freedom you seek,
you let go of our tightly held hands...
and took away my love and my sky.

I don't know what to do.
I thought I would understand...
Our love.. our love.

When I walked alone to the End of Time
Memories brushed past me...
took with it your love and your smile.

I can't take this anymore,
this last bit of heartbreak.
Our love... our love.

Let go of love, let go of our hands
if your heart is no longer here.
Let go of love, I will not wait.
Your tenderness is just a blank sheet of white.
Let go of love, open up my heart.
This time, I've decided to walk out of our memories and start over.

So let me hurt utterly, and wake up completely.
So let me hurt utterly, and wake up completely.

Insert:

"This is the first time we understand,
what gut-wrenching pain feels like.

There is no "badness" in my world;
no "promises" in his...

Through his eyes...
I saw a different world..."

When I walked alone to the End of Time
Memories brushed past me...
took with it your love and your smile.

I can't take this anymore,
this last bit of heartbreak.
Our love... our love.

Let go of love, let go of our hands
if your heart is no longer here.
Let go of love, I will not wait.
Your tenderness is just a blank sheet of white.
Let go of love, open up my heart.
This time, I've decided to walk out of our memories and start over.

So let me hurt utterly, and wake up completely.

[Bridge]

I finally understand that our love is no longer here.
From now on, there is nothing else for me to rely on.
What else can I look forward to?

Let go of love, let go of our hands
if your heart is no longer here.
Let go of love, I will not wait.
Your tenderness is just a blank sheet of white.
Let go of love, open up my heart.
This time I've decided to walk out from all of our memories and start over.

So let me hurt utterly, and wake up completely.
So let me hurt utterly, and wake up completely."

[End Song]


So that's basically how I felt the night I made the decision to come to NYC.
