This too will pass - Peter Himmelman

~ I have never heard this song before but the words captured in the lyrics are so true...
I've learned that no matter how bad things are today, tomorrow it will be ok. 
Trust me... this too will pass!~


This Too Will Pass
Like the river flows, like the east wind blows
You're gonna find your situation changing for the better
Like the melting snow just let your trouble go
'Cause you and I will get through this together

Some days seem to drag on forever
You need all your strength just to keep your head together
Soon you'll see, things are gonna get better at last
This too will pass

Like a sprouting seed, you'll grow through this need
And the things that bring you grief shall be forgotten
Like an hourglass, this too will pass
And what's hard as rock will soon be soft as cotton

Some days seem to drag on forever
You need all your strength just to keep your head together
But soon you'll see, things are gonna get better at last
This too will pass

This too will pass
This too will pass
This too will pass

You feel like you've been chosen to be frozen in time
Your body is exhausted, you feel like you've lost your mind

Happy Mother's Day...

To all the mothers anywhere in the world.... you are great! I dedicate to you this song from boyz II men.

A Song For Mama

You taught me everything
And everything you've given me
I always keep it inside
You're the driving force in my life, yeah

There isn't anything
Or anyone I can be
And it just wouldn't feel right
If I didn't have you by my side

You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were grey
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me
And no one else can be what you have been to me
You'll always be you always will be the girl
In my life for all times


Mama, mama you know I love you
Oh you know I love you
Mama, mama you're the queen of my heart
Your love is like
Tears from the stars
Mama, I just want you to know
Lovin' you is like food to my soul

You're always down for me
Have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong
Yes you did

And you took up for me
When everyone was downin' me
You always did understand
You gave me strength to go on

There was so many times
Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you come to me
And say to me I can face anything
And no one else can do
What you have done for me
You'll always be
You will always be the girl in my life

Sad Love Song - I have a lover

Translated by doolee10

You ask me why I'm still alone
I just smile weakly
I'm in love with someone
Yes I do have a lover

You look at me with worried eyes
And tell me to meet someone nice

But you never knew
I already have someone special
So precious that I hide inside

No one can see the man but me
He is only visible to my eyes
I will keep him inside forever
Sometimes tears filling up my eyes says

You are the one I cherish

I don't wanna have him
I don't wanna be greedy
Just let me love him the way I do

Look at me
I am not alone
So don't worry about me
Someday I'll introduce him to you
Can't you see the tears in my eyes say
You are the one I cherish

White Flag - Dido

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you I'll tell you that But if I didn't say it Well, I'd still have felt it Where's the sense in that? I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder Or return to where we were Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I know I left too much mess And destruction to come back again And I caused but nothing but trouble I understand if you can't talk to me again And if you live by the rules of "It's over" Then I'm sure that that makes sense Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be And when we meet As I'm sure we will All that was then Will be there still I'll let it pass And hold my tongue And you will think That I've moved on Well I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Believe it or not, I have been typing away using the keyboard since I was in the college learning computer science. I didn't even learn how to type after leaving my form 5. I remember the days when I was tortured browsing through the keyboard searching for the alphabets. Really! and to think programming in COBOL needs a long list of instructions. I was like a chicken pecking on the food. Peck ... errr... where is 'A'... peck again....

Most of my friends go for typing classes to learn the skills and techniques of typing with all 10 fingers after the MCE. Me? I learned to drive. I prefer driving as driving at young age was quite a thing back then. Little did I know, learning to type with all 10 fingers is indeed useful. But even if it is not, I still want to learn because I'd think it is something I should be doing. Petty to you, maybe, but not to me. At least not now.

Truthfully, I regret not learning. Yes, after 20 years or so... I do, at times, still peck on the keyboard. Sure enough, I can type. But I type with my eyes on the keyboard and not the computer screen. And pity my poor 2 index fingers. With little help from the rest, they are like succumbing to slavery.

But guess what, I will learn the skill to type with my 10 figures and not looking at the keyboard for the alphabet. Give me 2 weeks ... that was what they say: it only takes 2 weeks to master the '"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". Please pray for me ... otherwise I will die and still pecking on the keyboard.

All I need now is perseverence. .... and the article Typing with All Ten Fingers by Christopher Berg.
