"Almost Lover"

"Almost Lover"


Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I don't know why, listening to this song is just making me sad, especially with all the things that are occurring as of now. All the stress that is passing by and all the moments where I go like where am I? Why am I doing this? What's wrong with me. I don't know if its finals week finally acting up upon me, or just me losing my trace of thoughts and thinking, but for whatever reason, it is very unclear to me on all the things that are going on right now. It is also very unclear to me to all the action I have been conducting. I don't know what to blame or who to blame, even if I should be blaming anyone in the first place.
I feel like this lost lamb in the plain green grass field, confused about where I am, confused about what my goal is in life. I feel like a failure, not knowing what I want to do with my future, not having confidence in my own choice. Just living each day as if there is a next, wandering aimlessly among the rest. As people began to transfer out of this dumb community college, I am just here, still walking, lost in the same spot where I started, confused. To make the matters worst, I don't even have much motivation to study, with me having high level of distraction, it almost seemed as if I have ADD at some point
I need a mentor, I feel like I need someone to talk to about my problems. But who is there I can talk to in regards to problems like this. I never told anyone this, maybe because I am afraid of what others might say, or just simply because no one seems to care enough for me to mention it. I haven't found someone whom I can trust. I haven't found that one person who will understand all the things I have done completely. But as individual unique beings, of course no two would think alike and I understand. Yet still I am on this very spot, lost and confused. 
I want to cry sometimes, thinking about everything that had happened to me. All the things that had occurred. The unexpected, the never thought would happen scenarios that occurred. Why do they happen? Why did I chose to let it happen? I often asked myself, why did I ever do that? Why did I ever chose that path over others? Other times I would close my eyes and try to escape. The voices that echos in my head often, the little whisper of "no"s, and the uncertainty of "yes"es. The constant reminder that all the rest will be biting back at me later on, the karma so they call it. 
I started to ignore of good conscious, I began to ignore my bad feelings and let the flow waves take me. Is that a good thing? Is it a bad thing? It's something I know one day I will be sad about soon, is something that will caught up to me one day. But all in my head as of now was, living in the current, living in the days rather than thinking about the future. 
I remember a few days ago, on Monday night, I wanted to cry, I wanted to break down. I was scared of who I was becoming. I felt the potential of me becoming someone who I no longer know, and the worst part was it's myself that I no longer know. I wanted to call my first, I wanted to see how it is doing all of a sudden. I want to see how he is doing. To be honest, I might still have a space somewhere for him. Although I haven't seen him since the time where I had a terrible headache, I haven't seen him since the trip to Universal Studios. I want to know if he moved on yet, if he finally found someone that he loves, someone that he finally cares about and cares about him back. Those moments where I was with him seems so fade, so far away. When was the last time we had a real talk? Never. When was the last time we had a heart to heart talk? Probably the only time I ever admitted that I liked him. Truth be told, I don't know what I am doing relationship wise. Maybe I am not ready for a relationship yet, maybe I need a break from guys, from love and crush. Maybe for now I should focus on what I need to and should do with myself. No more kisses and hugs, not from anyone, not from the one. 

It's okay self, one more week until you're officially isolated from the school, from the entire campus. Just one more week. 







































Good bye my hopeless lover, goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you, can't you just let me be?So long, my luckless romance, my back is turned on you, I should've known you'd bring me heartache.
Almost lovers always do

Good bye floppy birds for good ? (Being taking down February 9th, 2014)

Have you heard of the newest rising star in the apple store recently? If not, look around, even in the play store, it's a pretty hot game. Made it to the number one list within days, and the game doesn't have much to it besides tapping on the screen making sure the bird flies in between the pipes. Yup, it's floppy birds. 
As of now, many of the games that's along the same branch are also on the top ten, which includes ironpants, super ball juggling, 

shuriken block, and a copy verison of floppy bird called flappy planes by some other Asian. It's scary how it's all dominating the top list chart when all they do, and the whole purpose of the game is to tap for each and every one of them. I never understood, even up to now, why all my friends are addicted to it. And heck, were in the same generations too. This game isn't just popular for teens but from kids to adult as well. Each trying their best to beat their friends score, or to test the impossible. 

To be honest, my highest score was 4, so there, laugh all you want. 
However, the jokes may be on you now. So, according to the Vietnamese creator of this game, Nguyen Ha Dong, he declared that he is going to take the game "floppy bird" down 22 hours from then (when he posted), although the reasons are still a bit of unsure, all we know as of now is that he said he is taking it down for personal purpose even though he earns about $50,000 from advertisements alone a day. How crazy is that? 
(His tweeter is @dongatory , so if anyone wanna protest, there you have it.

So according to buzzfeed:

Nguyen Ha Dong, the indie game developer who created overnight

 hit Flappy Bird, just tweeted that he is planning on taking the game down tomorrow.

I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore.

Although some people have accused Dong of ripping off other games, he said the decision was not because of a legal drama.

It is not anything related to legal issues. I just cannot keep it anymore.

The 29-year-old from Hanoi, Vietnam created the game last May, but it surged in popularity early this year.The Verge reported it earns $50,000 a day in ad revenue.

I also don't sell 'Flappy Bird', please don't ask.

A few hours before, Dong tweeted that the game has ruined his life.

I can call 'Flappy Bird' is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it.

He’s also recently expressed frustration at all the attention garnered from the game’s popularity.

Press people are overrating the success of my games. It is something I never want. Please give me peace.

Despite the seemingly imminent shut down, Flappy Bird seems to have recently gone under renovation.

Pipes look more polished, the background oscillates between night and day, and Flappy Bird changes from red, blue, or yellow

In the meantime, devoted fans have begun tweeting #SaveFlappyBird.
