Accessing Your Pain

Still related to previous post. Beside Firasat by Marcell, past experience enable me to access a painful memory and not just when singing this song. Even listening to it, my heart's pounding and there's a sinking feeling in my chest that burns a little. Well, past experience and Glenn's haunting vocals. I bet he access his pain a lot when singing this song. What's odd, I think, is the experience isn't even mine. Years ago, my brother and his girlfriend had some problem. One time, they broke up. My brother got home, I don't know what was going on inside his head, but then I heard a howl . Perhaps he was frustrated he needed to scream. But that let out of his aching heart, my God, I can tell he was in great pain. I still can remember the sound to this day. It was like he was dreadfully wounded. Months later, on his birthday, they met. The two talked privately, while a friend of theirs sang this song. After that beautiful moment, they reconciled. Now they&

Firasat

Presentiment. There are moments in your life when you get a hunch of what is going to happened. Maybe it's confidence, may be it's a coincidence, or you're somewhat of a soothsayer. I love this song composed by Dewi Lestari, sang by Marcell, when the two still married. The lyrics are poetic, naturally, given it's Dee who wrote it. The notes are is my vocal range, so this is one of my must sing karoke songs. The song kinda brings back old memories, painful ones. Though it doesn't hurt anymore, it's there when I sing this song and it enables me to sing wholeheartedly. Like Rachel Berry said, to sing heartily you need to access you're pain.... Firasat kemarin kulihat awan membentuk wajahmu desau angin meniupkan namamu tubuhku terpaku semalam bulan sabit melengkungkan senyummu tabur bintang serupa kilau auramu aku pun sadari, ku segera berlari cepat pulang cepat kembali, jangan pergi lagi firasatku ingin kau tuk ce

Image
Caution: This manga is SEMI-HENTAI, for 18 y.o + Onsen Paradise by Shota Kikuchi is one of my all time favorite manga. It's about a woman named Brown Kirino , aged unknown, who owns a hot spring - although throughout the four series it has rarely shown any paying guest stay there unlike in most onsen in another mangas I've read, except for Kirino's friends and visitors. She works as a writer and lives with Lolimomo, her housekeeper. The story revolve about Kirino's and her friends as well as the people in her town's life. Brown Kirino is drawn as a woman with severe sex appeal. She wears yukata or kimono most of the time, but sometimes she also wear western clothes. Despite her careless attitude, she has deep knowledge about Japanesse tradition as well as antique items. Not only she knows greatly about it, she lives the tradition as well. Never shown owning television, her favorite entertainment is drinking sake and eating sashimi on antique utens

"Glory to my Nation!!" Mafalda is a comic strip created by Argentine author, Quin o. The background was in the 60s-70s, when Argentine was ruled by autocratic military re gime. Mafalda, aged 5, potrayed the young generation from middle class economy. She criticized t he situation in her country from an innocent child's perspective.

She did this so frequently sometimes she annoyed people around her . Other characters are Mafalda's friends such as Felipe the dreamer, Manolito the capitalist, Susanita the bourgeouise, Libertad the radical, Mama and Papa (Mafalda's parents), Guille – Mafalda’s little brother, and Miguelito the philosoper. What amazes me is even though the comic was created decades ago in Argentine, it's stil
