Music and Lyrics

Hi again! I would like to discuss about my favorite songs, but a lil bit different than usual. This is mainly not because these songs have good melodies,they are good, but what's more important is they are here because they have very touching lyrics! Yeayy!! Well,there are so many songs that have good lyrics but personally these are my chosen songs:

1. Eminem - Mocking Bird
   

   Honestly this song is the first song which motivates me to write this.
   I don't know why but everytime I listen to this song I can also feel Em's love to his daughter. So much love that he poured all of it into this pretty song. Here is the lyrics:

   I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
   But hey, what daddy always tell you?
   Straighten up little soldier
   Stiffen up that upper lip
   What you crying about?
   You got me.
   
   Hailie, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad
   When I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
   I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
   I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
   'Cause you're scared, I ain't there?
   Daddy's with you in your prayers
   No more crying, wipe them tears
   Daddy's here, no more nightmares
   We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
   Lainie Uncle's crazy, ain't he?
   Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it
   We're all we got in this world
   When it spins, when it swirls
   When it whirls, when it twirls
   
   Two little beautiful girls
   Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
   I know it's confusing you
   Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news
   I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
   The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
   All the things growing up as daddy, that he had to see
   Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
   We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
   But things have gotten so bad between us
   I don't see us ever being together ever again
   Like we used to be when we was teenagers
   
   But then of course everything always happens for a reason
   I guess it was never meant to be
   But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
   But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
   Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
   
   [Chorus:]
   Now hush little baby, don't you cry
   Everything's gonna be alright
   Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
   Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
   I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
   We feel how we feel inside
   It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
   But I promise mama's gon' be alright
   
   It's funny
   I remember back one year when daddy had no money
   Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
   And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me
   'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
   I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying
   'Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job
   But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
   
   And at the time every house that we lived in
   Either kept getting broken into and robbed
   Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar
   Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
   Almost had a thousand dollars 'til someone broke in and stole it
   And I know it hurt so bad it broke your mamma's heart
   And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
   Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back
   On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment
   
   And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
   And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre
   And flew you and momma out to see me
   But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
   Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it
   And you and Lainnie were too young to understand it
   That papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit
   And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
   
   I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
   'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
   Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing
   Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
   To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now
   Wow, I guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here
   Lainnie I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
   I like the sound of that, yeah
   It's got a ring to it don't it?
   Shh, mama's only gone for the moment
   
   [Chorus]
   
   And if you ask me too
   Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
   I'mma give you the world
   I'mma buy a diamond ring for you
   I'mma sing for you
   I'll do anything for you to see you smile
   And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
   I'mma break that birdie's neck
   I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
   And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)

2. Simple Plan - Just Around The Corner
   

   Honestly this song doesn't make me chill as Mocking bird does but it has very meaningful lyrics and I believe everyone has this kind of experience, and all around you just say take it easy. Just don't give up. Here is the lyrics:

   I thought I saw you in my head
   How’d you sleep away again?
   Where’d you go?
   Where’d you go?
   
   I came so close so many times,
   Even almost lost my mind, trying to find you, trying to find you.
   How could this city feels so lonely?
   It’s hard to believe when people tell me

   [Chorus]:
   Don’t give up when it all comes down
   Only things that you lost are found
   Just around the corner, just around the corner
   When you don’t think you can take no more
   You might find what you’re searching for
   Just around the corner, just around the corner
   It’s just around the corner, yeah.
   It’s just around the corner

   If I knew where you are somehow, I’d be running there right now
   No matter how far, no matter how far
   This would be easier if only
   I could believe what people tell me

   [Chorus]

   I swear the stars look like they`re crying
   Waiting for love can feel like dying

   [Chorus]

Okay, I don't want to make this post too long. So maybe next time I'll post the other songs :P
Anyway, in case you have your own favorite songs, you can always leave me the title in the comment box.

N.B : the bold parts are my favorites :P

Random Post To Recap My 2013

Hi, it's been so long since I posted something in this blog. The last time was when I told my story about Pedrosa and it was more than a year ago!

I can't believe my laziness can beat me this much. Trust me, at some point I tried to write or at least had the willing to write so much. I gotta say I am not a melancholic person, but sometimes trouble can increase the urge to share something even for the top secret one. :P

I had no idea what kind of event I had today. Is it just the song which I am listening right now (unfortunately now it is Almost is never enough), or just because I had nothing else to do (well actually I have many home chores to do), or just because I was alone for too long in my house. But any reason that I got, I need to tell you, if you don't understand what I am going to say in the following paragraphs, please don't blame me. I've told you this is a random post.. hahaha... ^^

So, let's start with a question what happened in 2013?

Honestly, I don't know. Everyday is almost the same. Same routines. Week by week. I won't say I feel bad for it. There were some sad moments and some happy moments too. Here is the recap of my 2013:

Braced myself for braces
I got this braces on my teeth since February up until now and trust me I envied so many people for having good teeth because wearing braces was just PAINFUL! Whether I like it or not I lost my weight about 2-3 kilograms. Well, it probably sounds good if you're not a very skinny girl with your dad always calling you "skinny worm" -___-"

English course
My bff and I prepared ourselves by joining a preparation program for 3 months with the other 2 friends of mine. We were so crazy about the free library and I forced myself to finish reading a novel for 3-4 days just to make sure I could borrow another book in the next meeting. I also miss a lot the time when we spent our time walking to our course place (tempat les? what is that??!!), while walking we practiced our speaking by giving a random topic and the other would speak for about 30 secs about it . At that time I learnt how much she loved her mom ^^
Also I remember how scary the test was. Also the time I regretted so much just because I forgot to fill several numbers on the answer sheet because the time was up. Plus how nervous I was because I got a topic that I didn't know for my speaking test. In case you wonder what that was. It was "The shopping street in your hometown". Oh my, I was never a shopaholic girl, how could I know? So I just gave the best I could do. Eventually, the result was not bad comparing to my effort :P

Travel back to your hometown?
In May, I traveled back to my hometown in Makassar. In case you don't know where it is. It is in South Sulawesi and it's different with Manado. Manado is in North Sulawesi (I'm so tired of people who think you are from Manado when you say you are from Sulawesi).
Here's my history, I was born in 1989 and my family and I moved to Jakarta when I was 5 years old, I did visit my hometown again once when I was on my first year of senior high when my cousin got married. And this year I went back! I couldn't remember a bit of my hometown. It seemed like I went to a new city! Anyway I tried so much food in a day just to make sure I didn't miss any interesting food ^^

Try my first gym
I know I know... It's pathetic to say that you are 24, but you never once try how it feels to be in gym. But that's me! It was interesting :D not because I love the whole sport thing or else. :P So, so, so my first experience was by joining a body balance class and what made me like it because of... the songs! hahaha..^^ Hey, they played from a very calming instrumental songs to lovely songs from Rihanna and Pink! How could I not sing along with them when I was a fan of Rihanna :P

Spanish course
Yayyy! I finally learn Spanish, although honestly up until now I can't speak very well :(.I'll let you know when I am better at it :D A little Spanish from me? Soy Christin. Me gusta veer Moto GP! jajaja ^^

Get a love
It's not good to share your romance story in such a public page like this. Sorry but it's just not fair if I say it's my 2013 recap and I don't mention it. So in a nutshell, I have a new boyfriend after breaking up my ex in 2011. I didn't know if I was ready for this or not because I had some bad moments too just because I was too protective. It wasn't good and I knew it, but I could not help it.

Last but not least.. Maybe the most important part
Well, I'm sorry for all the people I hurt for all that I've done. The thing is I was happy but in the end, my happiness was not the main concern when I realized that I was being so self-centered and hurt people all around me. I regretted so many bad things that I've done also for the things that I started but I could not finish.

Okay, I guess enough for today cause I need to go to my bed now or I'll collapse in front of my computer. Hasta pronto amigos~
