你/我的香味,

你/我的香味,

對我/你只是曇花一現。


因為它何其短暫,
所以增加了其寶貴不已的身價,
更美化與加深了我們對彼此的幻覺,
即便是錯身而過的瞬間,
都能在心中被放大且慢動作定格化;

跟自己說,
那是你的味道,

是你。

我是小狗尋找食物般地記住這味道。

My Dear Dolly Daring,

My Dear Dolly Daring,

She emaciated,
Seemed much more than before.
Moreover than that,
It's her weary eyes lie under her thick hair.

Her eyes hesitated,
Whether to hold her happiness with her secret lover
Or to reveal her emotional feelings all at once.

I was happy for her, cuz she's still willing to talk about "him",
but my heart aches cuz he can't promise her with happiness.

I only can tell her what I think is the right thing to do,
But do it or not,
Still is her choice.


-------------------------------------------
It was just so funny going back to this old thing that I wrote in the past.
當局者迷呀,當局者迷.

(無題)

於是,
他的暱稱不再是你的專屬。

他再也不會想妳,惦你。

曾幾何時, 你已不是他心中偶爾閃過的憂鬱,
緊皺的眉頭,
打結的眉毛,

夏日午後 憂愁的雙眼.

---------
忘了是什麼時候寫的東西,
但我已可以甩甩頭, 淡然微笑,
因為我知道在我心中感動的回憶
任誰也抹滅不掉 。

The Clientele - (I can't seem to) make u mine.

Another good song to share. I like the lyrics a lot. It depicts my heart very well. haha.
I think it's pretty pretty.
U fool, mel, you fool.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Clientele - (I can't seem to) make u mine.

In the silence of the garden
Moths arising on the wind
And the Beast is pondering love, love, love
Till the rusty nails grow dim

I can't seem to make you mine
Through the long and lonely night
And I try so hard, darling
But the crowd pulled you away
Through the ribbons and the rain
And the ivy coiled around my hand

So I lingered with the people
In the silent August glade
But the rain has brought the night
And the night has brought the rain

I can't seem to make you mine
Through the long and lonely night
And I try so hard, darling
But the crowd pulled you away
Through the ribbons and the rain
And the ivy coiled around my hand

Mark the day! The Clientele

26 May 2007 @ Great American Music Hall San Francisco, CA, US w/ Beach House

The Clientele. I really wanna see if I could make it there for that day!!!

Remember to get the ticket too!!:)

some thoughts

I ain’t the last and I ain’t the first,


I’m one of them in between, the possible 23rd.

The whole idea of trying to have you terrified me.

Knowing someone means to risk the chance of losing someone.

It seems to me is just impossible.

The more I know about you, the more discouraged I am.

I don't know where to continue this, it's out of my realm.


I can’t really take this, tho the truth is I know is that I possibly "can".

But I don't wanna count on chances since that often leads to something in vain.

Let’s stop when there’s a chance

, and while we can.


Let me.

FW: Abolish bilingual education, Gingrich urges

Abolish bilingual education, Gingrich urges

-->POSTED: 4:58 p.m. EDT, March 31, 2007
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich equated bilingual education Saturday with "the language of living in a ghetto" and mocked requirements that ballots be printed in multiple languages.
"The government should quit mandating that various documents be printed in any one of 700 languages depending on who randomly shows up" to vote, said Gingrich, who is considering seeking the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. He made the comments in a speech to the National Federation of Republican Women.
"The American people believe English should be the official language of the government. ... We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto," Gingrich said to cheers from the crowd of more than 100.
"Citizenship requires passing a test on American history in English. If that's true, then we do not have to create ballots in any language except English," he said.
Peter Zamora, co-chair of the Washington-based Hispanic Education Coalition, which supports bilingual education, said, "The tone of his comments were very hateful. Spanish is spoken by many individuals who do not live in the ghetto."
He said research has shown "that bilingual education is the best method of teaching English to non-English speakers."
Spanish-speakers, Zamora said, know they need to learn English.
"There's no resistance to learning English, really, among immigrants, among native-born citizens," he said. "Everyone wants to learn English because it's what you need to thrive in this country."
In the past, Gingrich has supported making English the nation's official language. He's also said all American children should learn English and that other languages should be secondary in schools.
In 1995, for example, he said bilingualism poses "long-term dangers to the fabric of our nation" and that "allowing bilingualism to continue to grow is very dangerous."
Bilingual programs teach students reading, arithmetic and other basic skills in their native language so they do not fall behind while mastering English.
On voting, federal law requires districts with large populations of non-English speakers to print ballots in multiple languages.

It just a total absurd feeling for me to read an article that has such different point of view toward bilingual education. It is a very biased and not constructive way of saying. ( or at least I hope that he knows what he says)
