525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love?
Measure in love.Seasons of love.

525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan.
525,600 minutes - how can you measure the life of a woman or man?

In truths that she learned,
Or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned,
Or the way that she died....

It's time now to sing out,
the story never ends
let's celebrate remember a year in the life of friends.
How about love! Measure in love. Seasons of love.



hmm. another week is going to be over soon.
Have I learnt a few things?
yes, yes, yes.
but because of this things i have to learn,
the pain that I have to endure or go through is back, in a way.

watched boys over flowers.
not typical me, but hey, I learnt a few things from that show.
we humans should be like pottery, isnt it?
oh well.

i guess it is enough to stand at the same place and watch the same thing together with your loved ones. No matter how different your views are, isn't it right in the sense that, just by standing at the same point in time, you're both viewing the same thing? Nothing would seem to matter at a certain point in time anyway. sigh. whats the point huh, saying all these now?

sometimes. with addition to the internal factors. people should probably look at the external factors too. sigh. so what if someone admits he or she is wrong? if you have been the person yakking and yakking non stop behind backs just to do whatever you feel justified to, so what?
so what if you force the person to regret and admit the mistakes? admitting is one thing. but regret? what's the use? all you feel is that indescribable feeling all over again. i'd say its not worth it.

true. there are some things that are worth the regret. but how many of those things are there?
things now may seem, well, hard to get by. but thats just cause we're so concentrated on our state of mind and everything to do with myself and me and i. and probably because we don't think that far out. maybe we can't. who knows?

the whole world is filled with ifs and ifs alone. everyone decides to say if i hadn't done this...
yeah. and we wont need "i apologise", "i'm sorry" and "i regret"
there wont be a need for correction tape too. the company can then go bust.
if everything is just within a click, and everything can be erased, blocked out, why bother being careful with what we do as everyone always tells us?

words can be erased, technology too, even all this i'm writing. However, in the end, whoever gets hurt by reading all those words that have been so bluntly and casually tossed out, the pain and emotional trauma or hardship to overcome all this is not something that one can be repaired.

Even if we did think about what to say, have anyone thought what would happen if things were clarified, no doubts, full honesty, and everything said right at the beginning of everything?

see? I'm right ain't i? life is full of ifs.

maybe things would turn another way. and again, maybe not.
no matter how bad things may get, there is always an upturn, some time in life.
what wouldn't anyone do, just to get back on track, and just be oneself again, with the people you're comfortable with.

and sometimes, the things that you yearn for or you're looking for is right in front of you. But where's the courage in everyone? everyone just stays in their shells and sees the opportunity go by, and then they would say. "aww shucks, why didn't i grab it?"

so why hesitate? its all because of the fear of losing it, just in case.

children grab hold of things they like quickly,
because they know, if they don't grab hold of it tightly,
they would burst out crying.

reflex action? hmm.

when trust is misplaced, there is a point in looking for it back.
when regret is there, go for it, dont hesitate. you'll probably end up with more regrets.
a mistake is not a mistake, unless it cannot be corrected.
even a slight change makes a difference.
thats what makes history i guess.

someone ever said this to me.
"are you sure you wanna face it? Things like this people don't get over this fast, trust me"
hahah, thanks yeah, you're right.
sigh, what a loser i am, thinking im some very strong person can tahan every single thing.

why, oh why did i trust you for saying that things will never change and that you'll be there?
now, my only justification can be. but you promised!
hah. how feeble.

would you? could you? will you? and i still fervently wish,hope,pray that I can still help you.
measure everyday in moments and in love. that way, you'll always remember it.
