在忙

此際，寫甚麼都會是太多，寫甚麼都會是太少。

往昔、今日、以後都不好說。

相遇、相識、相知，都留真歡喜。

感激每一位、每一位。

待休息一會和整理過後才再開敝blog。

Dear _______

A few questions that i need to know, how u could ever hurt me so.

I need to know what ive done wrong and how long its been goin on. Was it that i never paid enough attention? Or did i not give enough affection?

Not only will ur answers keep me sane, but i'll know never to make the same mistake again.

U can tell me to my face, or even on the phone, u can write it in a letter, either way, i gotta know.

Did i never treat u right? Did i always start the fight?

Either way, im goin out of my mind, all the answers to my questions i gotta find.

some comments on music

Several of my friends had complained to me that the kind of music I listen to put them to sleep.

I think I have a somewhat peculiar music taste. Mainly I think I'm not big on music; so I don't like to spend too much money on it; thus I don't have the time nor the sources to explore different types of music.

If I must categorize the kind of music I listen to, I like traditional jazz and solo piano (mainly George Winston). I also like music that showcase the vocalist, with minimal instruments. (Thus jazz vocal with a piano is the best.) I'm not into bands or loud music. It gives me headache. Rock? No way.

Maybe it's the age... for the past year or two, I have become more keen on exploring new things. Last year, after much contemplation, I bought Damien Rice's "O" (because I love the song "The Blower's Daughter"), and it blew me away! It's not the kind of music that I normally listen to but it's one of the best CDs I have. I listened to it for months. (Really!) (Though some of my friends still think this CD put them to sleep!! *Sigh*)

So, this year, I'm feeling even more adventurous! Two months ago, I bought few CDs that I wanted to explore. One of it is U2's All That You Can't Leave Behind. (Rock! Band!) Why U2? Last year I went to another church for Easter service; they ended the service with the song, "All I Want Is You." It brought me to tears. And later I found out it was U2's song. Plus, I have always had good impression of them (also have grown respect for Bono), so I wanted to try their music.

I have been playing this CD for the past week. My immediate like is, "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of." What a horrible thing that is! I'm sure we all have moments like this. I'm barely walking out of one, now.

What is love?

+ 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 +

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
(New International Version)

愛是恆久忍耐，又有恩慈；
愛是不嫉妒；愛是不自誇，不張狂，
不做害羞的事，不求自己的益處，
不輕易發怒，不計算人的惡，
不喜歡不義，只喜歡真理；
凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。
愛是永不止息。

Love suffers long and is kind;
love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
does not behave rudely, does not seek its own,
is not provoked, thinks no evil;
does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.
(New King James Version)

一直知道，「愛是恆久忍耐」；「love is patient」。然後有一次，聽到是，比較接近原文的譯釋是，「love suffers long」。嗯，要恆久忍耐就是要 suffers long 吧。

從來都知道，愛，不是件容易的事情。我想，我是自私的吧。好怕去愛；怕自己做得不夠好。怕要受苦，就想逃跑掉。但，如果決定要去愛了，那就要盡全力，持守到底，對吧?

這段聖經，熟到可以背出來。但我又真正領悟到多少呢? 今日想起，然後好想自己再細心地一字一字牢記著。

要懂得去愛，才不至於失去所愛的吧。
