Long-distance ship

•October 27, 2009 • 1 Comment

A note in FB from a friend of mine makes me think. This is what she wrote:

——————————————————————
Why does a friendship ends?
Sometimes we think, “ah… she might be busy”
in the end, we didn’t call our friend.

Sometimes, we are afraid to disturb, and eventually will become indifferent about it.

And more often than not, we will start to think, “why am I the one who should call her? Why can’t she call me first?”

This is where the love in our friendship weakens, and in the end we forget about everything we’ve shared.

Communication is very important in maintaining relationship between friends, family, and God. That is my reason for sending you this note. As a prove that I have never forgotten about you :) .

——————————————————————-
What do you think? Is it true?

This is my opinion about this topic:

It is unfair, to blame ‘lost of communication’ for ending a friendship (or all kinds of relationship at that matters).

Communication is, indeed, important. However, it’s not the frequency that counts. Rather, it’s the feelings involved in the talk when you *finally* gets in contact, and the feelings that remains during the time you are apart.

Long-distance friendship (or all kinds of relationship) with very few contacts does works. This is especially proven during the time of war (forget about seeing each other, letters got lost more often than it comes).

The most important thing in a relationship is not communication. It’s respect, trust, and sincerity. You respect your partner to have her own life. You trust that she still wants to be your friend, and wouldn’t want to do anything harmful to you. You sincerely want to be her friend with all you have. Even when you seem to get nothing in return. Even when you both has changed so much you don’t seem to know each other anymore.

But that doesn’t mean that you don’t have to communicate at all. Afterall, all those feelings will be nothing if you don’t see/talk with each other in the end. In those time when your life has finally slow down a little, when you can’t help but briefly reminiscence of those happy times with your friend, never hesitate to do something about it. It doesn’t have to be a phone call. It doesn’t have to be a letter. A text. A “Hi!”. and a simple “I miss you” or “I hope you are well” is enough.

Indeed, it is hard to find a person, with that have those kind of feelings. That is why a lot of long-distance relationship fell apart. But when you *do* find that person, always have respect, trust, and sincerity ready on your sleeve. Because, in the end, the one who makes the decision to end it is yourself. You alone.

Don’t let it happen.

Let’s all treasure this feeling of wanting to be friends, k? ^^

~Asha, out!

[Fanfiction] Fleeting Moments: Lies

•September 24, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Sasusaku drabble is on it’s way! Yippie!

Title: Fleeting Moments
Series: Naruto
Pairing: SasuSaku
Summary: Anything could happen in a single fleeting moment.
Theme 01: Lies

“Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.” – R. W. Emerson

#1 “I hate You”
The first time she said the words to him, they were quiet and shaky. Her body shook with agonizing emotions while clutching Naruto’s unmoving body to her chest. Inside, her heart was screaming. Tears were blurring her vision, drenching her cheeks, falling to the dark red pool that colored the earth.

Rising her sea-green eyes to meet his empty black orbs, she repeated.

“I hate you.”

They were stronger, firmer, and unwavering.

But the little fragment that she locked deep in her heart whispered that no matter how many times she repeated the words, it can never be the truth.

#2 “It’s cold out here.”
Delicious shiver slithered down Sakura’s body as something cool and silky met the bare skin of her shoulders. Sasuke’s black coat had somehow landed on her. Blinking confusedly, the pink head turned towards the man who was walking by her side. However, she was unable to see his face because he had quickly looked away.

“Sasuke-kun?”

“It’s cold. You’ll freeze,” he replied curtly, still looking away.

Sakura closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. His scent of storm and fire filled her senses. A knowing smile slowly bloomed on her polished lips.

Maybe Sasuke liked her little black dress after all.

#3 “I’m not feeling well.”
“Does it still hurt?” her eyes peered up to him. Her hand that was emitting green chakra hovered a few centimeters above the recently disappeared gash on his stomach.

Looking down upon the crown of her cotton pink hair, Sasuke allowed himself a few seconds before replying with a “Hn.”

“Still hurt, doesn’t it?” she frowned, pouting subconsciously. Attentively, she returned her focus back on his invisible wound.

Leaning further against the shady tree, while trying to ignore Naruto’s loud gloating, with Sakura by his side, Uchiha Sasuke continued to pretend.

The wound had stopped hurting since ten minutes ago.

to be continued (7 more lies to go…)

BBW spree!

•August 21, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Ok. I’m positively and totally addicted to bath and body works.

The culprit of my addiction is this super cute online engine in BBW official site. The engine enable you to search the fragrance that fits your personality by selecting the things you like. And it’s surprisingly accurate! Out of 6 the engine suggested, I already own two of them (and I like them very much).

Discover Your Fragrance!

I decided to just go ahead and bought two new fragrances. One “Rainkissed Leaves” which has a clean and fresh scent of rain. The other one is “Butterfly Flowers” which has a light floral with a hint of jasmine. I’m loving them. They both are not strong and have a light clean scent. The alcohol is a bit too strong at first, but from my experience it will settle down 30 min after the spray. Also, the longer you kept the bottle, the alcohol will evaporates which is a good thing.

I bought them when hunting for BBW in eBay s’pore. Because there is no BBW shops outside US and Canada. :( so saaad. So, I found myself an online shop that looks genuine and has a very good reputation on eBay. Lucky! My seller is very kind, quick, and helpful.

Now I am already thinking about buying some others. I haven’t even used those two, yet! God, save me!

Happy B’day, Sasuke-kun!

July 23rd means it’s Uchiha Sasuke’s birthday!

Happy b’day to my fav Emo Prince ^^ heheheh. Have a piece of Sakura-chan, just from me! ;p

Honestly I don’t remember since when did I start liking Sasuke. He used to be just another hot smexy anime characters. But then I started reading the fanfictions, and searching for fanarts, doujinshi, and then ogling after cosplay pictures… Before I know it, I fell in love!

Actually, what make me like him is the prospect of Sasuke being with Sakura. Did I mention how much I love this pairing? If you asked me why, I don’t even know where to begin. They compliments each other, and the “good bye” scene is still my most heartbreaking moment in the entire series! And there was the prospect of their bright future together. Sasuke deserved to be loved, and I just want Sakura (my fav female character, because a girl who can punch a creater into the ground rocks! ) to be happy. And don’t let me start talking about the earth shattering orgasmic awsomeness of their smex! Hahaha (yeah, I’m a closet pervert).

So, once again,

Happy B’day Sasuke-kun!

The Future: Security vs. Opportunity

•July 23, 2009 • Leave a Comment

When talking about taking chances, I can’t say that I’m fond of it. On the contrary, my insticts usually told me that the secure way is always better than gambling for an uncertain future.

But lately, I’ve been thinking… is the secure way always better?

Security, in nature, always create a sense of peace and comfort. So naturally, I will want to stay inside my comfort zone. Because that way, I wouldn’t be hurt.

That got me thinking. I’ve wondered if I’ve been blindly closing my eyes to other (possibly) better future. How many doors have I closed for the sake of staying inside my comfort zone?

A secure and stable future might be enticing. However, know that by pledging yourself to have such future,  you will be limiting yourself from other possibilities.

For young people, like us, I think it is better if we took our time and explore about the things we can do. The world doesn’t have to be straight. We can play around a little, see what abilities suit us best, and the find out about things we enjoy the most.

Don’t close your own door just because you want to feel safe.

When the time comes, rationality will tell you that it’s better for you to close a door. But before you really do, ask your heart if that is really a future you can let go.

Don’t have regrets that you can’t deal with.

Memory of My Soul

•July 21, 2009 • Leave a Comment

a poem from Xenogears (c) Squaresoft 1998

.::Fei’s Side::.
Dreaming… I was DREAMING…
Perhaps it may have been but a LONG forgotten memory…
A dream… A MEMORY…
Things remembered when one is ASLEEP…
Things FORGOTTEN when one is awake…
Where the deepest LAYERS of memories
become the OUTMOST layers of one’s dreams…
Which are REALITIES? Which are ILLUSIONS?
One cannot tell UNTIL one awakes…
Or PERHAPS they are, at the
same time, both TRUTH and FICTION…

A vast NEBULOUS… with NO BOUNDARIES…
An emptiness EQUIVALENT to my own EXISTANCE…
I dreamt such A DREAM…
A long… NEVER-ENDING, dream.
DREAMS…
A LIFE of a man named LACAN…
And the lives of COUNTLESS other men…
ALL but dreams…
Now that I am AWAKE,
THOSE countless numbers of long,
HEARTENDING dreams are
almost IMPOSSIBLE to remember at all…
In those dreams, I loved ONE WOMAN…
No matter the DAY, No matter the ERA…
That did not CHANGE…
Nor did her NAME…

That dream CHANGED me…
That dream was the CATALYST for me to resolve what my PURPOSE was.
I THINK I know now… WHAT I have to do…
That long, long MEMORY of a dream…
Perhaps it was THE MEMORY OF MY SOUL…

.::Elly’s Side::.
A dream… I was DREAMING a dream…
Or perhaps it was a memory from a DISTANT past…
A dream… A MEMORY…
Those WORDS I was unable to convey…
That DAY… That TIME…
Those THOUGHTS I was unable to carry out…
Words AND thoughts…

The CONNECTION between the two…
Without words, thoughts cannot be CONVEYED…
Without thoughts, there are NO words…
They are both as VITAL as each other…
They can NEVER be divided…
Like the WINGS of ANGELS…
Like a MAN and a WOMAN…
An unchangeable DESTINY…
Feelings one WISHes one could change…
Meeting with the person who would CHANGE me…
And WATCHing myself change…
I dreamt such a DREAM…
A long… NEVER-ENDING, dream…

DREAMS…
A LIFE of a woman named SOPHIA…
And the lives of COUNTLESS other women…
ALL but dreams…
Now that I am AWAKE,
THOSE countless numbers of long,
HEARTENDING dreams are
almost IMPOSSIBLE to remember at all…
In those dreams, I loved ONE MAN…
No matter the DAY, No matter the ERA…
That did not CHANGE…
Only his NAME…

That dream CHANGED me…
That dream was the CATALYST for me to resolve what my PURPOSE was.
I THINK I know now… WHAT I have to do…
That long, long MEMORY of a dream…
Perhaps it was THE MEMORY OF MY SOUL…

Of Tomorrow and Yesterday

•July 21, 2009 • 2 Comments

Every person has a secret chapter in their life,
Pages they torn from their own diary and hide in their heart,
Memories too dark for anyone to understand,
too painful to be revealed.

Though I believe, that no matter how bad things seemed to be,
no matter how far the hope seemed are,
Time will answer all,
Time will heal all,
It’s just sad that sometimes everything had been too late.

A broken wings cannot spread
but it can heal
just not entirely.

Many years may have passed,
Many things may have changed,
Life keeps going,
But despite it all,
I believe,
Friendship is eternal,
as long as we believed in it,
as long as we kept fighting for it.

That’s just the world as I see it,
Right now, when I looked back to those secret chapters,
and striving to embrace my tomorrow…

Dearly beloved

“Walking this road,
Without you,
To remake forgotten promises and meet you at roads end.”

“Faded Memories,
Reconstucted Memories,
A dream – a dream of you,
In a world without you.”

“A scattered dream that’s like a far-off memory.
A far-off memory that’s like a scattered dream.
I want to line the pieces up –
yours and mine.”

———————————————————–

“Thinking of you, wherever you are

We pray for our sorrow to end,

and hope that our hearts will blend.

Now I will step forward to realize this wish.

And who knows,

starting a new journey may not be so hard

or maybe it has already begun.

There are many worlds…

but they share the same sky.

One sky, one destiny”

                                       Kairi
