are we taking a look or we're just blinded by...

our own reflections, to our own selfish needs? here's a prayer and a wish out the universe that humanity will reflect each other and see love, deep in each other's soul.

to some, this point of view may seem very naive, and probably stupid, and they choose to live building on a layers of protection upon themselves, eventually blinded by what is the most precious gift given to us, which is to live freely.

if there's anyone out there who reads ever reads this and knows the concept behind what i'm talking about, there is hope.

take a look - by aretha franklin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbND69CaJQg)

take a look in the mirror, look at yourself
don't you look too close
cause you just might see the person
that you hate the most

lord what's happening to this human race
i can't even see one friendly face
brothers fight brothers and sisters wink their eyes
while silver tongues bear fruits of poison lies

take a look at your children, born innocent
every boy and every girl
denying themselves a real chance
to build a better world

dear lord, dear lord,
what's happenin' to your precious dream?
it's washing away on a bloody, bloody stream.

take a look at your children,
before it's too late and tell them nobody wins,
when the prize is hate.

natalie cole added an additional verse of hope

oh no, no, no, it's not too late,
we gotta tell all of our children,
that love, love, love is the way...

in an ex instance - terms of endearment

yesterday, jason pinged me, and asked me, i used to call him jaby - short for jason baby, but what was the terms of endearment i used to call him. gosh. i have totally forgotten i had a nick name for jason, my ex. it has been almost 4 yrs i guess. he has found a new love, eddie and his new bf asked him that question.

with my poor memory, i couldn't really remember what was the term of endearment jason used to call me. but i realised that my gmail could have contained one of his emails to me, so a did a search. haha. he called me baby.

jason was my ex of 6 months. he's a wonderful guy, vivacious, bitchy in a funny way, full of life. somehow, our chemistry didn't develop so in the end, we had a mutual seperation. until today, we still keep in contact. he's the only ex whom i still keep in touch till today. guess we don't have emotional baggage left from our relationship thus we could be friends till today.

i wish him all the happiness with his new love. apparently, his new bf is hot and in demand. i wonder what he looks like?
