i just cleared up my email.

after sorting through the junk, i saw an email from my dad.

yes weird..but true..

and it says that in a Ukrainian TV program..*im quite sure it is Ukraine's Got Talent, but then again...one can never be too sure..=)

this particular video is worth your time because it is art beyond imagination.

you would never be able to understand or belief it until you see this.

i am copying this from the email..

Dont dare to miss this amazing Video Clip . . first read it properly..

This video shows the winner of "Ukraine’s Got Talent", Kseniya Simonova, 24, drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II. Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch.

The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience to tears and she won the top prize of about £75,000.

She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the happy scene is obliterated.

It is replaced by a woman’s face crying, but then a baby arrives and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman’s face appears.

She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad, before the image turns into a monument to an Unknown Soldier.

This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer is looking out on the monument from within a house.

In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a man standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass, saying goodbye.

The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine, resulted in one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million.


Kseniya Simonova says:
"I find it difficult enough to create art using paper and pencils or paintbrushes, but using sand and fingers is beyond me. The art, especially when the war is used as the subject matter, even brings some audience members to tears. And there’s surely no bigger compliment."

"a guy is the key, the girl is the lock"?????

"imagine this, a guy is a key; and a girl is a lock. it is good for the key to be able to open many locks. but for a lock to be opened by many keys, it is not good news." Su Ann quoting someone.....

i dont understand why it is perceived this way. but that really seems to be the case. even in America where people seem to think is the best place for open-mindedness as they practices Freedom of Speech, singer Christina Aguilera sings in Can't Hold Us Down

"The guy gets all the glory the more he can score, While the girl can do the same yet u call her a whore". the lyrics clearly states how people everywhere practices double standard.

why do people do that?

*pouts...i don't get it..

can someone please explain this to me?

what makes us Human?

"u don't cry in front of the enemy" Ms. Nalena.

that was that my lecturer had to say when someone broke down in front of the person who, well, made her break down.

being labeled the weaker gender, does it give us more authority to cry and show weaknesses? or is this equal too?

i just got some bad news. cannot mention it here for some reason. but its bad and it makes me feel so weak and vulnerable. for u who don't know about me. i love putting on a tough shell so no one could ever hurt me. convenient right? well, its just protecting myself. and a girl goto learn to protect herself in this dog eat dog world.

i hate breaking down.

i hate showing signs of weakness.

i hate feeling helpless.

i hate having my protective wall penetrated just to have the person i trust cut me a wound.

its a bad feeling. helplessness.

i guess when u met problems like this when u don't know who to turn to, its a comfort to know that God is always up there to guide and accept back his lost sheep.

but i guess feeling this is also a part of God's plan right?

i think that

without Darkness, u would never know Light.

without Sadness, we would never appreciate Happiness.

without Lost, we would never recognise what we already Have.

and its a blessing to be able to feel like this.

because this make us human.

this pulls us back to Earth.

this makes us appreciate because human never learn to appreciate until it is too late.

i guess this will be an obstacle i will have to overcome.

what doesn't break me makes me stronger

right?

i hope those living in the eye of the storm will see their way through the storm and learn,

learn that we will not always have our ways,

learn to accept and to love.

have a goodnight.

What is Yr Song?

i was staying up late doing my assignment when i noticed that my song list consist of Beatles songs only. i chose my songs b4 i started to work my the assignments. n i realise that i work better with Beatles songs.

i think that everyone has their own feel good song. be it hard-core metal to the sound of waves to the laughter of yr loved ones, whatever u r feeling at the moment, u will feel better after listening to it.

our ears cannot sleep. in the sense that there is no closing yr ears unless yr deaf. then, i still believe that they hear something. something we do not hear. anyway back to our ears, i think we neglect our ears v much. as it affects our brain v v much, and it cannot sleep, giving it rest would be resting our brain in a way.

so what r u waiting for ?

go ahead and blast/ tune in to Yr Song and unwind..

goodnight peeps..=)

The Neatness of Newly Clipped Nails

I'm thinking of the sea..
a nice beautiful beach..
the sound of the waves lapping on the beach....
calming....
the sound of the wind whistling through the coconut trees....
seeming to say "whee, see me run wild and free"........
my feet,
sinking into the luscious sand...
and the waves washing it away at the same time...
hiding and disguising my very existence....

i step into the water...
oh, does it seem to invite me to indulge further to discover the secrets it hides..
but i could not...
fearing my resistance slipping away with every step i take into the deep unknown..
reluctantly, i step away from its seduction..
i channel myself to look at the otherside of the line..
the one filled with people
who outwardly seem to be filled to the brim with happiness...
surrounding themselves with other happy people..
seeming to live with all the joy in the world
and to conquer all sorrow with LOVE

i want to be a part of that
yet whenever i try
it seems like such a distant world from me
its as though I'm looking through the looking glass
it as though i cant belong

but i will struggle on if i must
for being here is beauty itself
cherishing all that had been given to me...
being grateful and not hurting people who had sacrificed for me..

for being here is not just for our own cause..
this is not a hotel for u to decide
when to come and when to leave
it is not an obligation...
to be fulfilled..
it is a gift.

even when it seems as though life is fooling u..
even if u feel misunderstood..
even if u feel there is no more reason to go on..

look around u...
and think...
the only reason u are capable of feeling this way is not because u r obliged to feel this way
its because u r capable enough
to be given the choice to feel so..

now take a deep breathe...
a really deep breathe...
so deep that the smell of salt is all that fill your senses..
close your eyes...
take in the sound of the wind talking to u..
feel the grain of the sand...
feel all the emotions raging within u,
bottled up inside..
and let it all out..
and when u are ready,
just let the waves take it all away from u..
leaving u clean and afresh,
ready to take on whatever is hurled your way..
walking at the borderline
but never slipping into the dark

and walk away a new man.
