30 Day Song Challenge: Day 3

Day 3: A song that makes you happy.

This song reminds me of the beach, blue skies, sunshine, love, and all the beautiful things in life.

Day 2: Your Least Favourite Song

There are lots of candidates contending for this position, but I think the trophy must go to the following number for its out-of-this-world shittiness. Also, this song was on literally every single radio station 24/7 when I was 14. When you're going to a pop-punk phase, the last thing you want to hear is this...although, I still hate it even though that phase is GONEEE.

Sorry Fiddy, it's nothing personal.

30 Day Song Challenge: Day 1

Apparently this is a pretty big thing on Facebook, so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon too, but in the privacy of my blog. =)

Day 1: Your Favourite Song

I'm going to cheat here because I have two favourite songs.

1. This song is very ordinary, ordinary in the sense that it isn't a soulful ballad or sung by powerful voices. Still, it never failed to inspire me everytime I listened to it. It's truly a life anthem.



2. Sous le Vent is one of those songs that make me gush at the perfection of music. Beautiful melody, beautiful voices, beautiful lyrics in a beautiful language. The lyrics are poetry. Also, how hot is Garou?!!

The Sun Never Says

Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe Me."

Look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.

今晚实在想不出意义深刻的标题，索性也不再为此费神。这一篇无名也无大碍 - 本人只欲轻微整理思绪，写下最近思考过的几件事，以便清理混乱不堪的脑海。

1. 一个月没更新博客了。原以为写这种东西纯粹是浪费时间的新潮方法，更没期望有任何读者，所以每次写下的内容极其无聊空虚，写完后恨不得马上删掉。没想到，写博客也是上瘾的。这就像我弹钢琴的历史一样。弹的时候抱怨自己没有天分，只想摔下琴盖，扬长而去。现在不弹了，可是每天都手痒痒。今天下课后终于鼓起勇气去Goodspeed Hall的钢琴练习室弹了一首舒伯特的Fantasie in A Flat Minor，之后感到心中格外舒畅。于是，深受启发的我决定重返博客世界。钢琴也好，博客也好，明明是自己喜欢的东西，何必不去做呢？

2. 虽然现在是快乐的，前一段时间的极度郁闷依然刻骨铭心。活到20岁，我还从未经历过如此的焦愁。那时，每天醒来后心中一片灰暗，待人处事都要强迫自己挂着一张笑脸，实在是痛苦。回想起当时踏入的心理误区，我觉得最重要的变化是心态。最近，一个朋友感叹道, “我觉得自己越来越是一个想成为天才的蠢才。” 的确，我们对未来的迷茫，对自己实力的疑惑，对幸福的憧憬，这些都依然存在，可是我成熟了。这些东西不能构成葬送幸福的理由！

3. 老子在道德经里说道，“企者不立，跨者不行。” 我越来越清楚地意识到，这句话市多么精确的概括了人与成功的关系。最有意义的人生定是先苦后甜。年轻时，不必去刻意追求尚未属于自己的地位和称号。人生像座山，翻过去就是一马平川。我的姥姥童年丧母，少年遭遇日本侵略后倾家荡产，青年和中年忙于工作、持家，为供丈夫的弟妹上学而省吃俭用。只有到了晚年，她看到自己的两本著作成为汉语语法的权威工具书，两个女儿事业和家庭都幸福美满，才真正体会到人生的甜头。


生活就是一个七日接着另一个七日。前进吧。
