99 Luftballons

Hast du etwas Zeit für mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont

Denkst du vielleicht g'rad an mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Und dass so was von so was kommt

99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Hielt man für Ufos aus dem All
Darum schickte ein General
'ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher
Alarm zu geben, wenn es so wär
Dabei war'n da am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons
99 Düsenjäger
Jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Das gab ein großes Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons

99 Kriegsminister -
Streichholz und Benzinkanister -
Hielten sich für schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer hätte das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons

99 Jahre Krieg
Ließen keinen Platz für Sieger
Kriegsminister gibt's nicht mehr
Und auch keine Düsenflieger
Heute zieh' ich meine Runden
Seh' die Welt in Trümmern liegen
Hab' 'nen Luftballon gefunden
Denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen

I guess not very many of you understand German, but that song has been continuously in my mind last days. The lyrics tell something I can't even say with words. It's written 1983, if I remember right, and if you know anything about Germany's history you should be able to see something of it in that song. I find that song very beautiful and supportive in its own way. The English version of that song isn't as good as this original one if you ask me, but if you're interested to know what's the message of the song you could check it out too.

Fall rain

The first thing I did today when I woke up was to quickly dress up, take my camera with me and go out to see and feel the rain. It was cold and fresh, it smelled good. Water dropping from the roof, shining on the leaves when sunlight reached them. The drumming sound of the heavy drops when they fell down was calming.

 

  

The rain felt nice but it was more than lovely to go inside after it and wear a dry, warm, soft sweater. At least me and my camera got a refreshing shower, but I think my camera didn't like it as much as I did...

I have a right

Give me the right to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be free to be
Everything I need to be me, to be safe, to believe, in something
I have a right to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be free to be
Everything I need to be me, to be safe, to believe, in something

Father there's a little flower, beautiful and different, all alone, all alone
Is it so dad? I'm not supposed to make the world anew and be like you? Am I you?

Give me the gift to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be
Everything I need to be me, to be safe, to believe, in something
I have a right to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be
Everything I need to be me, to be safe, to believe, in something

Right to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be me

You made it clear right from the start, I am to take your sour heart within
One sad day
But I will never teach my son, in bittered history, tried and true, 'cause
I'm not you

I have a right to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be
Everything I need to be me, to be safe, to believe, in something
I have a right to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to have
every gift, I need to be me, to be safe, to believe, in something

Give me the eyes so I see, give me ears so I hear, give me love so I know what
Love is, give me the freedom to think, to believe, in something
I have a right to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be
Everything I need to be me, to be safe, to believe, in something

I have a special right to grow up

and to develope physically and spiritually 

in a normal and healty way.

Free, and whit dignity. 

I have the right to love, and understanding. 

My parents have special responsibilities for my education and guidance.

I should be taught peace, understanding, tolerance, 

and friendship among all people.

So give me the gift, to hear, to see, the love, the freedom, to choose the
things I feel to be right for the world you'll leave me. Give something
Give me the right to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be
Everything I need to be me, to be safe, to believe, in something

I have a right to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be
Everything I need to be me, to be safe, to believe, in something

Give me the right to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be
Everything I need to be me, to be safe, to believe, in something

Right to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be everything
I need to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be everything
I need to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be everything
I need to be heard, to be seen, to be loved, to be free, to be everything
I need To be heard

Stay positive :)

"When life gives you lemons, add water and sugar and make juice."

Everything doesn't always go like you have planned or you want to. Sometimes life sucks really badly, but we could suck it back. I'm sure it would like it.

 We could try to turn those sour and bitter things to something good, think that there's a meaning why those things happen to us. Everything has a meaning, right? At least I've thought so. Always I can't understand what the meaning is but I guess there's someone who does. We're just humans, we don't need to understand everything.

One thing I noticed today again and I can't understand is that when people feel bad and they are hurt they want to forward their bad feelings to someone else who might actually have nothing to do with it. As if that could decrease their distress. What's the point of that? A want to repay your own suffering to someone? Does it seriously make you feel any better? They haven't done anything to deserve that kind of treatment, and even if they do you shouldn't behave so. I don't think you would want anyone to do the same to you, wouldn't you?

People are stressing too much over needless things. We don't have to care about everything, at least the less nice things. Or well yea we have to care about them but not stuck with them or let them knock us down. Life's better when you are positive and think positive things in a positive way. If today is a bad day, tomorrow might be much better and brighter.

"When life gives you lemon, take it. Don't waste food."

What does the fox say?

Hello muddah, hello faddah

Perhaps one of the funniest monents in school when we listened to this during English lesson. :D
Imagine the whole class laughing at this...

Paco Rabanne- Black XS

I got some post today. A packet that was sent from India. Well, from UK as it was bought from eBay. I had no idea what was waiting for me because it was my belated birthday present. It's a lovely perfume from a lovely guy. I like it specially much because I haven't seen that perfume here in Finland so I guess it might not even be available here.

The smell is really good, sexy and feminine.
"Paco Rabanne Black XS for Her is created for the rebellious princess! It is a modern, feminine and sensual fragrance that transforms from fruity to floral to woody notes. "
So he thinks I'm a rebellious princess. :P Now he knows what I smell like. ;)

I was really happy to receive it. I wish I could give him something back because he is always so nice to me and I love talking to him. I hope he understands how much he means to me.

Father and Son

I was sitting on a bench in bus station next to and Indian restaurant. A foreign man, who seemed to work in the restaurant, at least I thought so because of his clothes, was standing there quite near to me. His son and I suppose she was his wife had come to see him in the middle of his workday. The boy was about 5 years old. He was sitting on a table, his father standing in front of him. They looked happy, the father said something to him and he laughed child's beautiful laugh. They hugged, they played something a little time. The boy was wearing red sweatpants and a red a red sweatshirt, sneakers and a cap. Father took the cap and put it in his own head, it was far too small. The boy grinned and tried to take his cap back. Mother left them for some time and went to buy something, guys stayed between the two.

I don't know why was it so special for me, but seeing those happy people made me happy too and I smiled when I looked at them. The woman wasn't foreign, only the man, and the child's skin colour was a beautiful combination of his parents', hair was black and eyes brown like his father's. I can't describe you how I felt because I don't actually know myself either. It was happiness what I felt, I saw the love and connection of Father and Son. I wish all realtions between parents and children were like that.  :)

I love you dad.

Alone

Could you check my pulse for me to see if I'm alive? 

Cause every time that I am near you is the only time I feel alright

I don't want to be alone
I don't want to die alone
I could fall apart here and now
I don't want to die alone

I want to be with you, you, you
I only want to be with you, you, you
 

 

Like it's said in the song, nobody should be alone. Everybody needs someone, or wants someone. Human isn't made for living alobe, it's a gregarious animal. Most people don't feel good if they feel lonely, people are happier when their social life is good. I ask one thing from you now. Don't leave your closest ones alone and don't be alone yourself either. People love you.

Sometimes I sit and wonder
Sometimes I feel like letting go
All I know is no one should have to be alone

 ALONE

Run away

Don't you ever feel like running away and leaving everything?
Like there's nothing for you in present, not in the past eihter. Everything is there somewhere and you have to reach it. You need to run faster and faster, you can't slow down or fall. Feel the speed when your legs are told to move quickly.

Sometimes I wish I could go to a place where I'm unknown for everybody, nobody knows me and I can start again. Start to be the one I want without people knowing what I used to be. They couldn't know all the bad things about me and all the things I have done. They wouldn't have any reason to judge me because they don't know me. It would be easy to change that way.

But in the end, it's not so easy to go. Even if you go and try to leave your past, it will follow you wherever you go, how fast you run. It's always there, stuck in you.

Lift me up and help me to fly away

Lift me above this, the flames & the ashes
Lift me up and help me to fly away
Lift me above this, the broken, the empty
Lift me up and help me to fly away


A gorgeous song!! Aren't the lyrics just perfect? I hadn't even heard it before this but right after I heard it the first time I liked it. I don't know what it is but there just is that something, it makes to think about things and people, hard times. I don't know how to say it. Those are strong words and it makes the listener to feel strong too, at least me it did.

"I won't be beaten down."

Chocoholic

Every girl knows exactly what that means?

People come and go but chocolate is always there for us when life sucks, 

or we're feeling down, or we are very happy, or we are tired, or we are lazy, or we

want to relax or we just very simply want to enjoy life.

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger

Everybody surely goes through difficult times in life. The thing is how we face them. Sometimes it feels that people and the world are trying to knock us down, but we should ignore that and keep going. Everybody wants to leave everything sometimes, I think, and just start again, but it's a fact that the past is going nowhere so we have to deal with it. People need to keep thinking positively. Being depressed only makes things harder and takes all of our energy. Why worry about things that have already happened, the road goes on.

I went through somw difficulties a few years ago. When I got enough of the situation, I started to look at the world in another way and tried to change the things I wasn't happy with. I stopped worrying and trusted that things will be sorted out.

Friends are like gold in difficult times, it's good that there's someone who understands and knows what you're feeling. It's important to know that you're not alone. People need to stand by each other, help and be there when they're needed.

Nothing lasts forever, not even the bad times. If it doesn't kill you, it might hurt like nothing else but when you get over it you're a stronger and wiser person who has some more experience of life that before. Keep your head held high and smile.

"Hey, this is not a funeral.
It's a revolution,
after all your tears have turned to rage.
Just wait, everything will be okay.
Even when you're feeling like it's going down in flames."

"When life keeps knocking down,
don't say 'Why me?'
Say 'Try me!' "  :)
