My World. My Space. My Soul.

You Learn – Alan Morissette

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone

I recommend walking around naked in your living room

Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)

It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)

Wait until the dust settles

You live you learn

You love you learn

You cry you learn

You lose you learn

You bleed you learn

You scream you learn

I recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone

I certainly do

I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time

Feel free

Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)

Hold it up (to the rays)

You wait and see when the smoke clears

You live you learn

You love you learn

You cry you learn

You lose you learn

You bleed you learn

You scream you learn

Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)

Melt it down (you’re gonna have to eventually anyway)

The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

You live you learn

You love you learn

You cry you learn

You lose you learn

You bleed you learn

You scream you learn

You grieve you learn

You choke you learn

You laugh you learn

You choose you learn

You pray you learn

You ask you learn

You live you learn

Dubai has this mega fountain setup that goes with the song, Time to Say Goodbye by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli. Enjoy the sight.

P.S. You may want to view it in HD and fullscreen. Yes, it is that good (I seldom open Youtube/Facebook videos in HD and in fullscreen).

Via Tracy’s blogpost (yes, I do read your blog. Via RSS):

Traffic police should do something similar to this. (SPF has a Youtube channel!) However, given the nature of this 5-minute clip, I guess it is not possible to be screen on primetime slots on TV. Anyway, this video should be a reminder to those who thinks that driving on the road is the same as driving in an arcade game.

I accessed the 2008 statistics of traffic accidents provided by SPF. Overall, it painted a healthy picture with rates:

Traffic Report: 2008 Annex A Chart A1

Traffic Report: 2008 Annex A Chart A2

But the year on year information defers:

TABLE A2: NUMBER OF FATAL AND INJURY ACCIDENTS

TABLE A3: NUMBER OF PERSONS KILLED AND INJURED IN ACCIDENTS

Wakey, wakey. Accidents are on the raise.

Also known as Aitai by Yuzu for those who watched Ghost Friend (d-addicts). It is the OST for the show.

I can’t believe how hard it can be to find the full official music video of this song. Pffft, apparently the record company does not believe in viral marketing. The song is making waves on the Net.

Anyway, here is the 45-second long snippet that is released by the record company (video host: Youtube). And, below is the full version of the song from IMEEM.

Yuzu – I Miss You

Lyrics: Kitagawa Yujin
Music: Kitagawa Yujin

If wishes can come true, which one should I make a reality?
I’ll answer without hesitation, I wish I could see you once more

Petals color the season outside, they’ll bloom vividly again this year
Now I’m walking all by myself through this scenery you loved

Though we hurt each other without understanding in those naive days
I realize now that we were wrapped up in true love

I miss you, I miss you, I’ll never forget you
You’re still here in my heart
Thank you, thank you, words aren’t enough
May these emotions find their way to you

My eyes narrow in the morning sun, a new daily routine begins again
But before I know it, I’m searching for you even though you’re gone

You would smile without saying a word, your gentle smile
You taught me the pain and joy of life

I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed, my voice won’t come out
I see your figure in the sky
We cried, we laughed, we walked together
The footprints we left behind will last forever

Ah, this endless life of new meetings goes on

If wishes can come true, once more…

I miss you, I miss you, I’ll never forget you
You’re still here in my heart
Thank you, thank you, words aren’t enough
May these emotions find their way to you
Your voice, your warmth, your gentle smile
They’re here in my heart, I miss you

ゆず – 逢いたい

作詩：北川悠仁
作曲：北川悠仁

もしも願いが叶うのなら　どんな願いを叶えますか?
僕は迷わず答えるだろう　もう一度あなたに逢いたい

外は花びら色付く季節　今年も鮮やかに咲き誇る
あなたが好きだったこの景色を　今は一人歩いてる

理解(わか)り合えずに傷付けた　幼すぎたあの日々も
確かな愛に包まれていた事を知りました

逢いたい　逢いたい　忘れはしない
あなたは今も　心(ここ)にいるから
ありがとう　ありがとう　伝えきれない
想いよ　どうか　届いて欲しい

朝の光に目を細めて　新しい日常が始まるけど
気付けばどこかに探してしまう　もういないあなたの姿を

何も言わずに微笑(ほほえ)んだ　優しかったあの笑顔
生きる苦しみ喜びを　何度も教えてくれた

溢れて　溢れて　声にならない
あなたを空に　想い描いた
泣いたり　笑ったり　共に歩んだ
足跡　永遠(とわ)に　消えはしないさ

嗚呼　果てしなく　また巡り逢う命

もしも願いが叶うのなら　もう一度…

逢いたい　逢いたい　忘れはしない
あなたは今も 心(ここ)にいるから
ありがとう　ありがとう　伝えきれない
想いよ　どうか　届いて欲しい
声も　温もりも　優しい微笑(ほほえ)みも
心(ここ)にいるから　逢いたい

I enabled cross-posting to Facebook from my blog a long time ago. I know the readership isn’t high, but I do get some clicks from the Notes there. I wonder if everyone knows that Facebook does not allow posting of videos or any embed objects in the Notes. About half of my posts contain embedded objects in one way or another. Majority of them come from Youtube and even Facebook videos.

To save the hassle of clicking on every single post to check for such objects, posts with them have prefix (ie, Facebook Video, Youtube, etc) attached to the title. I hope that helps.
