Opening 2 ~ Gintama by okwanz

君の後ろ姿を ぼくは見つめていたんだ
長く長く君の背中を ぼくは頼りにしてたんだ
自分がいるところを いつも仮の場所だと
逃げて逃げて夢の世界へ 君の声を抱きしめる

友と恋と裏目に出る純粋が
青い自意識を キリキリ痛めつける


ああ どろり重い心引きずって
体だけは丈夫なので 今日も笑っていよう
 


I was gazing at your appearance from behind
Gradually, gradually, I have begun to depend on you
The place that I'm at will always be a temporary one
I run away, run away to the world of dreams, holding onto your voice tightly

With friendship and love and failings revealed
My pale self-consciousness is quickly rebuked by the truth


Aa, I struggle on, pulling along the thoughts in my heart
As my body is still strong, I can laugh today as well
 




Thank you Gendou for the lyrics

Thank you scoobydoo.wikia.com

This is what happens when I'm not fed proper meals.
I TRANSFORM INTO YOGI BEAR BY MOONLIGHT.

Lol.

Yeah, I didn't have a proper dinner,
so I was scavenging for food in the cupboards like Yogi in a picnic basket.

Man,
I'm telling you right now.

It ain't easy being Yogi.

I found some Campbell cans,
and I was like SCORE!
And then it turned out that it was between Clam Chowder and some Scallop thing.

So.
Chowder it is.

*looks at the top*

NO.
They changed it to the tab kind,
so you'll have to pull it instead of using a can opener.
While that is easy for the masses,
the last time I did it,
I left a piece of my own flesh behind an old lady's refrigerator,
and blood splashed all over the wall like a movie scene out of Saw.

So.
NO.

I looked at the bottom,
oh you gotta be kidding me.

YEAR 2011??

*sigh*
*puts it back into the cupboard*
[On second thought, I should have just chucked it away]

What else, what else..

Urgh.
No more instant noodles, please. T-T

*Looks into another cupboard*

...We have nothing but flour.
WHY DO WE HAVE SO MUCH FLOUR??
[For baking, I know.]
[But still. Srsly. -.-]

Ok. Ok.
Check the fridge.

*opens fridge*

AHA. SOUP.
PROPER. HOMEMADE. SOUP.

*quickly takes it out and opens it*



Yes.
"You gotta be kidding me..."

A whole layer of lard was floating on the surface.

*sigh*
Guess I'll go hungry tonight.
I'm not a happy camper.
[Haha get it!! I'm so punny.]
[Because it's Yogi?]
[And Yogi steals from campers??]
[Ah nevermind.]

Caution: Emo post ahead! 

I know I talked about this before,
but sheesh, it just strikes a chord within me.

I really don't know why. Haha
Maybe I'm at that age... -___-

Anyway, lemme explain.

So today,
I was hanging out at Disneyland.
[Uhm the one in Hong Kong]
[Yeah.. I'm in Hong Kong now.]

Idk if I was pms-ing,
but tbh, it shouldn't be. Idk.

It was like a moment of clarity.
Like epiphany. It was really weird.

As I was looking up at the fireworks,
I started to cry. 

Everyone around me was looking up at the sky with stoned, emotionless faces..
With their camcorders facing the castle..
And I was the only one tearing.

Tbh, it was because I was really sad.

I want dreams to come true,
not just mine.
Yet I look around me and no one seems to believe that anymore.

I look at the elderly on the street begging for money just to get by,
whilst eating a simple bowl of rice and I just can't.
[True story]

I just can't.
Idk what to do, and I can't change the world.

The feeling is just so... Helpless.

And as I listen to the bgm and see the fireworks light up the sky,
I really, really want to believe that dreams can come true.
That 'growing up' doesn't mean 'losing sight of your dreams'.

I've been told many times before that..
I live in another world of my own. 
That my head is always in the clouds, 
and all the many other phrases you can explain it with.

And suddenly, a single thought hit me.

"Ah.. How nice it would be, to watch this with someone I loved."

And clarity followed thereafter.

Yupp. I want someone who can watch fireworks with me,

but nope, I don't want to date a jerk who would laugh at me,
when I tear up at the beauty of fireworks and sadness of the world,
when I truly enjoy Disneyland,
when I can sing every line to a Disney song,
and believe in the simplicity of just well, believing.

I want someone who doesn't have to lose his dreams to 'grow up',
someone who can chase after what he wants passionately,
even if the whole world laughs at him and says that he is a fool for doing so.

Someone who will support me in chasing my own,
and not laugh at me for believing in what Walt Disney believed in,
just because it seems 'childish'.
[Look up Walt Disney. He was mocked before he became a success.]

Sigh.
There are many things that I could explain or elaborate on,
and things I could correct or add to prevent misunderstanding,
but I really don't want to.

I'm just too tired with all of this.

I don't know if I can find someone like this in this lifetime,
but it comforts me that I have Jesus and great friends.

I can't help the elderly,
but I'll try in my own small way.
[This is my positive side trying to kick in]
Sigh.
I don't know why am I so emotional about this. :|

So.
I don't subscribe or pay attention to those personality tests and all that..
I'm just not a believer of grouping people into things and traits when I don't even know them.

But.
This one was just asking for it.
[Found it on FB, thanks friend]


STORY BEHIND THE DATE OF YOUR BIRTH

[I shall talk in brackets now]
[Okay... Let's see what it says..]

If you were born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st, 30th of any month then U r number 3...

[Hmmm. Number 3's my favourite number.]
[Okay.. Interesting.]

[Let's scroll to Number 3]

Number 3

You are a person of hard hearted, selfish most of the times, religious, loves to climb up in your life. You always tend to have lots of problems within your family in the early stages but you will put up with everything.. You have the strong word power, pretty happy face.. So wherever you go always you have got what you wanted!!! And from the birth always wanted to work hard in order to achieve something.. You will not get anything without hardwork! When you reach a man/ woman age you want other younger once to listen to you because you want younger people to respect people older than them. You do set so many examples to others.

[Meh, it's like a hit and miss thing]
[String a bunch of adjectives together and hope some fit someone out there -.-]

Generally you are not a cool person. 


[OK definitely wrong! Who says I'm not cool???]
[I make up the 'cool' in your Kool-Aid, okay?]

It's not easy thing dealing with you. A tough player you are! But once you like someone's attitude then here you go, what can I say? It will be a lasting friendship. You always have respect from others.

[
Lol it sounds mostly good, I'll accept this one]

Your life seems to have lots of worries and problems but sure they won't be long.. you will always have brilliant kids!!! You love the money a bit too much so temptation will push you to endless trying and trying.. 


[Wrong. You will never know what your kids will turn out like, even if you mate two geniuses together]
[And the money part, totally wrong.]

[But wait, here's the catch]

If you are a guy then it's over. 


[HAHA WTF]
[Whew, It's a good thing I'm not male. Did you see what happened there? I barely made it out alive]

[But, why would anyone categorize men like that?

Looking after your family and help friends, so you will spend a life time just being generous and kind (except 21st born men)

[Oh okay. Now we all know why.]
[Someone got ditched by a male, who was born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th]

And number 3s you will
be such an example of how to be in the culture & life!!! If you are girl then you have good character and culture & hardworking attitude. You always follow.


[I'm a girl ;)]

You are a freedom lover, creative, ambition focused, a person who brings beauty , hope & joy to this world!!!

Your best match 6 ,9. Good match 1 ,3 ,5 !!!




[Lol, probably made by a female]



Now you see why I don't subscribe to these things? Lol
I just had to share it because it made my early morning.

Hello...
I was just talking to a friend..
And I just wanted to share my thoughts on this.

Uhm.

I know and understand the practicality and reality of this world...
But honestly....


WHERE HAVE ALL OF THE HONOURABLE MEN GONE?

Don't tell me to just 'accept' it and get a 'boyfriend' like my supposed other half is an item, only for my pleasure and selfish purposes.
How can I accept it when the sight of dishonourable acts just irk me?

"Can't be helped.. Srsly."

Oh okay, coming from the one who found his own ideal girl because honestly,
she is pretty ok.

So just because you have found the ideal one...
How can you turn around and say that I should just accept the fact that most men are just 'like that'.

I have never been a person who just 'does it' because everyone else is doing it,
and if it's not gonna happen because no man out there is ever honourable anymore,
then fine.

Call me old-fashioned.

Whatever.

No one said that finding the right one was easy.
And I simply refuse to accept the other person as my other half if he isn't righteous.

Call me a prude.

Whatever.

Man. 

I guess it's true.
If girls ever truly found out what most guys are thinking.........

*shudders*
The world is a terrible place.
