I'm Jocelyn. I read, write, and play piano. I love traveling and animals.
And if you listen to your beat. Hear what’s in your soul. You’ll never let anyone steal your rock ‘n’ roll
Adele - Someone like you
For some reason this song is echoing in the back of my head tonight.
I Won’t Give up by Jason Mraz
I don’t wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I’m here to stay to make the difference that I can make.
You can be addicted to a certain kind of sadness, like resignation to the end always to end.
“Letters from war” by Mark Schlultz
Randomly heard this song today and reminded me of the days when I used to write tons of letter to my ex. Now I am writing lots of e-mail to my sailor. Sometimes I ask myself too, what is up with me and soldiers? Is it the uniform? Or how tough they look? Well, all of those are possible reasons but I think the main one has to be their bravery act.
Grew up from a city like Hong Kong where I was educated under the colonial education, I really don’t have a lot of patriotism. It was after coming to America then I really feel how it is like to be a part of a nation, where everyone at least has something to feel proud of or relate to.
Among all the people in this country, I admire our troops the most. Many of them join the military because they are at a point of their lives where they don’t know what to do and the miltary seems to provide a better future. They go through boot camp, training, finally arrive at their stations and go on deployments. I can only imagine the hardship they have to go through to serve this country.
Finally, though I don’t consider myself an American, I’m proud to do whatever I can to give moral support to the soldiers out there, especially my sailor who is currenltly away from me.
“Distance makes the heart goes fonder.”
Make it home.
I have been listening to this song really loud obsessively since 4pm this afternoon. I should probably stop soon, or at least turn the volume down. Otherwise my neighbors will somehow make a man out of me.
But it is so catchy! What do to what do it? Ivana, can we watch this movie together or have a sing-along afternoon?
Slower, slower. We don’t have time for that. All I want is to find an easy way, to get out of our little heads. Have heart my dear. We’re bound to be afraid, even if its just for a few days making up for all this mess.
I’m goin back home to the west coast. I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase.
I will rise, I will fly, chase the wind and touch the sky.
Thanks Ivana for reminding me of such great song.
Run by Leona Lewis
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you dear
