She
was there by herself, believing that everything would be okay. She placed her
eyes tightly to the blue sky. She didn’t notice how many hours she had spent
leaning her back to an old chair just to see what happened up there in the sky.
The clear blue sky had gone, a rather dark blue with its millions of what so
called lamps of the night had replaced the cheerful blue sky. She kept on believing
that everything would be okay though the sky had turned dark. She had had
millions of dark nights before. Sometimes storms accompanied it, but she still
could stay where she was. She had to have a great kind of strength that she
could stand her feet there.

Alas,
a danger that was more hazardous than the storm tried to creep in her. It moved
slowly and unknowingly, attacking when she was not on alert so she could not
blame it but herself. It worked successfully because she began to think that
she invited it to her to destroy her. No, no storm to night. It meant she could
rest soundly. She was not sure though since it kept on creeping that she cried.
She cried to sleep that she was thinking that everything would be okay when the
sun rose and the cheerful blue sky welcomed her, for another blessed day on
earth.

INDEPENDENCE

By Diane

Reach for the heavens

And catch hold of a star

Be true to yourself

And know who you are

Go your own way

Don’t follow the crowd

Hold your head high

Stand tall and be proud

Fight for your right

And believe in your dreams

Because nothing in life is exactly as
it seems

Some people will tell you

What is false and what is true

But only you know what is best for
you

So decide for yourself

Then stand by your choice

Disregard the opinions that other
will voice

Some people are smart and have wise
things to say

But it’s your own heart and mind

That shows your way

Above is the poem I grew up
with. The poem that gives me inspiration that the only one I have to count on,
besides God, is me. The poem that teaches me that I am responsible to myself.
The poem that shows me that loving me is the first priority.

Watashi wa
zehi nihon ni benkyoushitai da. Soshite, nihon o benkyou shite iru. Atsukute,
benkyou shite iru. Samukute, benkyou shite iru. Genki ja nakutemo, benkyou
shite iru. Rainen, watashi wa zehi nihon ni benkyoushitai da. Ja, ganbarimasu.

by Ryan Shupe & The Rubberband

When you cry be sure to dry your eyes, cause better days are sure to come.And when you smile be sure to smile wide, and don't let them know that they have one.And when you walk, walk with pride, and don't show the hurt inside, because the pain sill soon be gone. 

Chorus:And when you dream, dream big, as big as the ocean blue. Cause when you dream it might come true. When you dream, dream big.

And when you laugh be sure to laugh out loud, cause it will carry all your cares away. And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself, and it will help you feel okay. And when you pray, pray for strength to help to carry on when the troubles come your way. 

Chorus

Bernard Shaw:

He
who has never hoped can never despair.

Back
to the year of 2002, I was a rookie in “dream big” way of
thinking. I was not aware of the broken heart that this thinking may
cause. I was not aware of the competition to get my dream come true.
It could be predicted or guessed easily that I didn’t go for the
next war. But, I didn’t stop there. I kept my dream alive during my
study in uni. For the whole 4 years, I was so patient to wait the
time for me to finally make this dream come true. Exactly 4 years
after the first turn-down, I made my come back, thinking better
prepared. I was better this time. I could hit the room where there
were five people in front of me, wishing to know about me better than
in the paper. I received no follow up call or notice. I was again
brokenhearted. There was mixture feeling. Thinking that I was tired,
I wanted to stop right there. Thinking there’s other shots for me,
I kept moving on. I have no idea whether it is my denial to the
things that I fail to get or it’s my motivation to move on and
believe in the “dream big” scenario, but I once again made my
come back to 2007 year round. This time I was worse than the previous
year. I had to endure another broken heart. I don’t know how I can
forget all the hurting feeling and I kept move on. I chose different
destination this time, thinking that maybe I would have better luck
there. Yesterday, that letter came to me. The letter did not come to
make me happy, but to give more wound to my already wounded heart. I
don’t have my luck there. But, I don’t know it’s me or my
denial to accept the failures, I definitely will make my come back.
