Life opens more doors when you only think about what not to do.

MUCC - "Sora Wasure" (meaning "Forget The Sky" or "The Forgotten Sky")

A great song with lyrics I wish I could understand fully without a dictionary. In any case, the translation wouldn't have gone far with the patience I possess. Thanks to Anya for this fortunate find.

It's ironic because I've been taking quite a few sky shots lately. Yes. I am obsessed with the fluffy white clouds and their life cycles in slow motion.

We often claim ourselves to be able to change for good for whatever reasons. Now... can we really?

There are many sides to a story. It all depends on where one stands and how one looks.

The key is to think outside of the box.

The ability to alter one's own perception freely could be the simplest thing in the world because the person takes full charge.

With a great sense of national pride I watched the "Kung Fu Panda" today. It is a newly animated film created by DreamWorks Animation. Both the culture and the country's beautiful natural sceneries were so masterfully depicted by those insightful minds behind the project that after 15 minutes into the film I was already convinced by its total awesomeness. Did someone just say... "Awesomeness"?! Its fast paced camera work truly added a tremendous amount of energy to this not-so-original-yet-refreshing storyline. Jack Black also did a great job. However, I believe what has really made this film unique is Shifu's back story and our personal understandings of his complex emotions responding to the fact that Po is the "Dragon Warrior". Overall, I haven't felt this excited about an animated film since "Howl's Moving Castle" directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Two thumbs up!

"There's no charge for awesomeness!"

I see through walls now… a grumpy looking heart flew above the white bone fortress followed by an enormous firefly. For centuries, the world of time has been covered with many shades of gray. This heart has long forgotten the meaning of treasure and the desire to desire.

Suddenly, a hint of red is being reflected on the edge of the glass castle. A small cry of desperation which was so weak and irrelevant has gently grown into the hot air every living being needs.

At the end of the days, it has come to my understanding that I really see through everything…

Invisible chains are made of rubber. The secret of breaking is to bake them with sunshine for 1325 minutes uninterruptedly.
