What about now?

"What About Now"

Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?


I think this song is about the trust in a relationship.

The big question is: what if?
I think the song is about a couple that's been in love for a long time, so long that both are already showing their true colors. However, because they've known each other for a long time simple but important words like "sorry", "I love you", "can I?", "would you?" are not considered a necessity anymore. They tend to forget that in truth the other person is still human, full of emotions and perceptions.
It is easy to trample on the hearts of the one you love just because you think they
have to stand it, they have to endure it as they are indeed your true love and have to accept you no matter what, no questions asked [this is also true for family members..why is it easy to hurt the ones you love most? sad-but-oh-so-true kinda thing..huhuhu].
This creates a quiet tension. Hurt feelings are not spoken, but stored deep in the heart until it aches every time you breathe. The hurt spread like a cancer, slowly but surely fading the love until one day it all burst all at once, making feelings that was once there disappear. Just like that. Its like a big explosion and then a sudden deathly silence.

The love that was once great is just not there anymore because the other person is taking you for granted. The person often does not realize it because they do love you but is too selfish to take you in their consideration. They didn't realize they've lost you.
One fine day when they finally realize that you're gone, they're struggling to keep the love alive, trying to mend past mistakes because they know that if they let go, they will lose you forever.

What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
Hope although frail, is hard to die.
So they'll struggle with all their might to save the relationship.
Eventually it all comes to this: you either want it or you don't.
If you do, then hold on. Hold on with all you have. Pray. Pray because things are always bigger than me and you, bigger than the world.
Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.
**********************************************************************

Sometimes, after a relationship progresses to the next level the initial infatuation that blinds our judgment of a person often pass. We see the real person, we see them as who they really are.
At the same time we see the other person as who he/she is, we are also assessing ourselves.

Is he/she the right one?
Could this be for real?
Will we stand by her/him in facing life?
Would we have the drive to be with her/him in the future?

All this doubts occur in both parties. Both are assessing the other for the potential to make the person truly special in our life. This creates mixed emotions, doubts, distrust.
Not because they don't love you, it's just that in truth they are also trying to find the truth.
So my friend, be strong for the one you love. Love have to be tested to ensure its strength and purity. Hold on and trust the other person. Yeah, it is not easy. Not even remotely so. The situation is like you're falling into an endless abyss blindfold, hoping for all your heart that the one you love and trust would be there to catch your fall. They have to be there..because they're the reason you jumped in the first place. That is why we call it
falling in love.
....thank God it's not called crash and burning into love...hehe :P

Childhood sweetheart

Man Who Can't Be Moved
Artist: Script

Album: The Script

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand
Saying, "if you see this girl, can you tell her where I am?"

Some try to hand me money they don't understand
I'm not broke, I'm just a broken-hearted man
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do?
And how can I move on when I'm still in love with you?

'Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I'm not moving
I'm not moving

Policeman says, "son, you can't stay here"
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go

'Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I'm not moving
I'm not moving
I'm not moving
I'm not moving

People talk about the guy
Who's waiting on a girl, oh
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world, mmm

Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'Cos you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved

'Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

(So I'm not moving) 'Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
(I'm not moving) And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
(I'm not moving) Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet
(I'm not moving) And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move

Sweet song..
I dunno why but it makes me think about my childhood sweetheart :)
Love when you're 5 or 6 years old is simple and pure, no complications that often accompany 'adult' love (is that even the right word to use? sounds a bit weird)...
That boy as I remember is a tall skinny guy with a shock of wavy hair. He is the eldest son of my mother's stepbrother. We used to stay at his house when we're in London (My family used to live in UK for a couple of years when my mom was doing her Master's).
We used to play together at his house, along with my little sis and his brother and sister. Whenever we play House a.k.a main mak mak he will always be the father, I'm the mother and all the others are our babies :D Then he'll tell the others to play somewhere else and that leaves us both together. After that we'll just lie on the floor, looking out the window and he'll be talking all the way. I think I mainly just smile at his endless babbles ( am I so mature or just dunno what to say? hahaha). Then he'll put his arms around me and say that someday when we're all grown up we'll be together like this, and I totally believed him...
Ah, the innocence of a childish hope... :)
Seriously, when I think it over, luckily we're all just a bunch of kids because if I were to do the same now, it'd be scandalous!
However, the sad thing is that I never saw him again. I don't even remember his name. Maybe after this I'll ask my mom whether she remembers.
I really hope to see him again, just to know what he's doing now and maybe laugh at our childhood memories together if he still remembers it.
As of now, I really miss the kid that once told me we'll be together someday. At that time, I really thought he'll wait for me and everything he said would come true.
But then things change..our lives change.
The last I heard about his family is that they're all still in London. Maybe they're staying there for good, but who knows? Maybe by a miracle we'll meet again. Until then, I wish him all the luck in the world and may he be happy :)

Rasanya aku perlu meneladani puisi ini...
Moga-maga "si dia" yang aku lansung xtau siapa itu juga meneladaninya. Semoga nnt dirahmati.. :)

Sekadar Pesanan

Tolong sampaikan pada si dia
Tolong beritahu si dia aku ada pesanan
buatnya..
Tolong beritahu si dia, cinta agung
adalah cintaNya..
Tolong beritahu si dia, cinta manusia
bakal membuatnya alpa..

Tolong nasihati sia dia, jangan
menyintaiku lebih dari dia menyintai
Yang Maha Esa..
Tolong nasihati si dia,jangan
mengingatiku lebih dari dia mengingati
Yang Maha Kuasa..
Tolong nasihati si dia, jangan
mendoakanku lebih dari dia mendoakan
ibu bapanya..

Tolong katakan pada si dia, dahulukan
Allah kerana di situ ada syurga..
Tolong katakan pada si dia, dahulukan
ibu bapanya kerana di telapak itu
syurganya..

Tolong ingatkan si dia. Aku terpikat
kerana imannya bukan rupa..
Tolong ingatkan si dia. Aku lebih
cintakan zuhudnya bukan harta..
Tolong ingatkan si dia aku kasihinya
kerana santunnya..

Tolong tegur si dia, bila dia mula
mengagungkan cinta manusia..
Tolong tegur si dia, bila dia
tenggelam dalam angan-angannya..
Tolong tegur si dia, andai nafsu
mengawal fikirannya
..

Tolong sedarkan si dia. Aku milik Yang
Maha Esa..
Tolong sedarkan si dia. Aku masih
milik keluarga..
Tolong sedarkan si dia,
tanggungjawabnya besar kepada
keluarganya..

Tolong sabarkan si dia, usah ucap
cinta di kala cita-cita belum
terlaksana..
Tolong sabarkan si dia, andai diri ini
enggan dirapati kerana menjaga batasan
cinta..
Tolong sabarkan si dia, bila jarak
mejadi penyebab bertambah rindunya..

Tolong pesan padanya. Aku tidak mahu
menjadi fitnah besar kepadanya..
Tolong pesan padanya. Aku tak mahu
menjadi punca kegagalannya..
Tolong pesan padanya aku membiarkan
Yang Esa menjaga dirinya..

Tolong khabarkan pada si dia. Aku
tidak mahu melekakan dia..
Tolong khabarkan pada si dia. Aku mahu
dia berjaya dalam impian dan cita-
citanya..
Tolong khabarkan pada si dia, jadilah
penyokong dalam kejayaanku..

Tolong sampaikan pada si dia. Aku
mendambakan cinta suci yang terjaga..
Tolong sampaikan pada si dia,cinta
kerana Allah tidak ternilai harganya..
Tolong sampaikan pada si dia, hubungan
ini terjaga selagi dia menjaga
hubungan dengan Yang Maha Kuasa..
Tolong sampaikan kepada si dia kerana
aku tidak mampu memberitahunya
sendiri…

Hanya engkau Ya Allah mengetahui siapa
si dia..
Moga pesananku sampai padanya walau
aku sendiri tidak mengetahui siapa dan
dimana si dia..
Moga dia seekor lebah yang sentiasa
memuji keagungan Yang Maha Kuasa
memasuki taman larangan dengan sopan
santunnya dan bertemu mawar berduri
yang terjaga oleh tuannya..
Simpanlah pesanan ku ini sehingga
engkau bertemu diriku suatu hari
nanti…

from http://nonaro.wordpress.com
Dilemma..

Banyak yang kini aku fikirkan...tapi sebenarnya sudah lama persoalan yang satu ini bermain difikiran. Ini dikuatkan lagi oleh kata-kata ini:

Bagaimana?
Apa sebenarnya yang patut dilakukan oleh seorang wanita dizaman yang kononnya moden ini?
Memang buntu...apakah jalan yang betul?
Aku menginsafi diri atas kelalaian sebelum ini.
Maafkan jika aku mengganggu, sebenarnya aku sendiri mencari jawapan. Maafkan jika engkau jua terlalai. Sungguh, perlu ditahan kekosongan ini.
Itulah dilemma...
Kalau senyap, dikatakan sombong
Kalau ramah, macam gatal la pulak...aduh...
So sikit-sikit sahaja.
Sungguh tak biasa dengan situasi sebegini..memang fail, dari dulu lagi.
Kan bagus kalau mcm kawan saya sorang tu..utk semuanya dia ada SOP (x boleh pinjam ke??)
Sekarang ni juz rely on our own instinct, on our own knowledge and level of consciousness pertaining right and wrong.
Ya Allah, lindungilah aku dari hati yang berbolak- balik. Limpahkanlah rahmatMu dan tunjukkanlah jalan yang benar disisiMu agar aku sentiasa dapat kembali walaupun sesekali tergelincir...
Amin

"Measure Of A Man"

If one day you discover him
Broken down he's lost everything
No cars, no fancy clothes to make him who he's not
The woman at his side is all that he has got
Why do you ask him move heaven and earth
To prove his love has worth?

Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
When it's down to the wire
Would he give his life up
To be all he can
Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

If by chance all he had to give you
Was three words wrapped around your finger
Would that be deep enough at the end of every day
And how will you ever know
If a man is what he says?

Why do you ask him to move heaven and earth
To prove his love has worth
Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
When it's down to the wire
Would he give his life up to be all he can
Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

He never gives up
Lets go of his dream
His world goes around for his one true belief
Is that how you know
Is that what it means?

Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
Would he will be your anchor when the dark unfolds
Would he always love you the best that he knows?

Would he give his life up
To be all that he can
Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
When it's down to the wire
Would he give his life up
To be all he can

Is that, is that, is that, how you measure oh...

Is that, is that, is that, how you measure a man?


This song should make a girl think. How much do you need for him to prove his love?
How much someone would have to do to prove his worth? to prove that he really wants it?
I dunno.
I just think that everybody deserves second chances. We are not perfect.
If you love him enough, you'd give him a chance to prove himself.
I really don't like the way some people complaining about their significant other, saying that he is not rich, do not have high education, do not have a sports car..etcetera etcetera...
My question is: if you have so many complaints, why be with him anyway?
Break up, find someone else. That person sure deserves somebody who appreciates them.
Like my friend said:
if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best
Hahaha, padan muka. Baru tau...
Like I always said, be honest.
if you don't love that person enough to be respectful, you should just call it quits. Why go on? No sense in that.
You expect this person to do everything for your sake, to always put you first. You ask so much but give nothing.
Is that love?
Please be realistic. You could only hope for the best.
If that person tried with all his might, given it all he can, but still failed...then what?
It is good enough that the person tried. Well, i think so anyway.

It is better for girl to sleep a hundred years and be kissed and awakened by the right prince than to stay awake and be kissed a hundred times by the wrong frog

Hahahaha
How true.... :p

Storm by Lifehouse


How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the oceans shapeless form.
The waters getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head.

Chorus:
If I could just see you, everything would be alright.
If I could see you the darkness would turn to light

And I will walk on water, and you will catch me if I fall,
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright, and everything will be alright.

I know you didn’t bring me out here to drown,
So why am I ten feet under and upside down.
Barely surviving has become my purpose
’cause I’m so used to living underneath the surface.

Chorus

And I will walk on water and you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright
And everything will be alright.

.....what's with me and love songs nowadays?
Listening to this song, I suddenly remembered someone from my past...
I've tried to rationalize that liking someone when you're just 10 years old is just tricks of puberty, just part of growing up.
But how come I still remember him? It's been close to 14 years...
I should just forget it.
I know that nobody has the ability to read minds..there is no way for him to know.
I am now 24 years old but still I am stuck in this infatuation like a teenager.
Pathetic?
Maybe.
You could say that because you're not in my shoes.
Just because of that, you do not have the privilege to pass judgment.

Below is an edited email I sent to my friend...something just got me thinking about it ;)

fizah...aku nk ckp ni, tp xtau la betul ke x ape aku ckp ni (saspen, saspen..hehe, tp xde pape la weh :p )
ko ingat x bile aku rasa sedih pasl *somebody* tu, ko slalu ckp kt aku "tp ko mesti bsyukur sbb dkurniakan rasa cinta tu..sbb kdg2 org lain xpernah rasa pun"
hmm...ingat?

aku sebenarnye setiap kali ko ckp tu aku x fhm n xsetuju sebab aku fikir, kenapa ade org yg nk perasaan mcm ni? aku lonely, aku kecewa, aku rasa xdihargai..kenapa sebab semua ni aku patut bersyukur? aku mcm xtau nape ko ckp tu...da bertahun aku fikir n aku rasa skrg aku da dpt kot maksud ko, n mayb bleh tolong situasi kita bsama...
ko tahu kisah Nabi Yusuf a.s ngan Siti Zulaikha?
aku sgt takjub n kagum ngan kisah cinta nih. dulu aku xpernah tfikir pun...
ko bayangkan lah..Zulaikha tu da la mak angkat Nabi Yusuf a.s, goda plak Nabi Yusuf a.s n then buat plak Nabi Yusuf a.s masuk penjara menderita bertahun2...kalau ko la ditempat Nabi Yusuf a.s, ko nak x terima lg org mcm tu, yg da buat ko lalui mcm2 kesengsaraan?

kalau zaman skrg, mesti kita kata die jahat, xbermoral, xtau malu..n ntah apa apa lg..tapi, kalau kita tgk kisah tu, Siti Zulaikha did wht she did coz she truly loved him. Semua atas nama cinta. perempuan kan ikut perasaan skit, mayb cinta die tu terlalu dasat smpai hilang pertimbangan.

mmg apa yg die buat salah, no doubt abt it, tp aku mcm faham kenapa die buat mcm tu..she couldn't help it, mayb sbb xde bimbingan akal dan iman... Reason die buat bende2 tu suci, tapi cara die tu yg songsang skit. tu yg x betul tu...tp mmg xleh nak sangkal yg at least die ada berusaha utk mencapai impian die kn...
so, kalau fikir balik, bukan die yg minta rasa cinta tu hadir dlm hati die..Allah yg meletakkan rasa cinta itu disitu. Kita xbleh memerintah hati kita untuk menyintai atau membenci sesuatu suka2 je kan...

mcm hidayah lah...Rasulullah s.a.w boleh berdakwah, berdoa, berusaha dengan segala benda yg baginda ada..tapi bapa saudara die Abi Talib ttp xberiman..sbb hidayah tu Allah s.w.t yg kasi

samalah mcm cinta kan? kita bleh buat mcm2, tapi kalau Allah s.w.t tak letakkan rasa cinta tu kt hati die, nk buat mcm mn? cuma kita je yg dirahmati ngan rasa cinta itu...kita tak patut sedih dan marah org itu ke apa, sbb Allah cuma rahmati kita dengan kurniaan cinta dan tidak rahmati org itu dengan rasa cinta yg sama..jadi mmg xpatut la kita mrh kn?
yg kita bleh buat ialah bersabar n berdoa...

aku slalu tfikir, kenapa aku bleh suke org tu smpai bertahun2, berabad2..tp die x rasa pun...mcm bodoh kn? tp sekarang mayb bukan bodoh...cume penuh ngan harapan

Jadi, kalau lah Allah sudah takdirkannya, makan akan terjadi. Jika tidak, maka yakinlah yg itulah yg terbaik untuk kita.
tapi adakah kita mempunyai kesabaran Zulaikha menanti berabad2? mungkin x...jadi sebab itulah, kita mesti berdoa kpd Allah agar diberikan petunjuk...spy kita tetap dijalan yg lurus.
kita mmg kene sentiasa berusaha..tp lepas tu, kene la tawakal. kalau terasa lemah, serahkanlah segalanya pada Allah.

I still think this holds true...

“Kelip-kelip disangka api,
Kalau api mana puntungnya?,
Hilang ghaib di sangka mati,
Kalau mati mana kuburnya?"
These are the words at the end of the song Seribu tahun by Imran Ajmain.
Sometimes poetic words have a way of getting through your heart...
A song about someone who is trying to hold on to a love that is not there anymore. A love lost without a trace. A love lost without reason.
To hold on to something like this is somewhat tiring. Constantly convincing ourselves that a loss that is never confirmed, has a chance that it was never lost.
The lover in this song realizes that even though he/she is willing to risk it all and wait for a thousand years, he/she is unsure whether it is possible because the will of God still prevails.
But a person in love is never rational.
Always looking ahead with the firm belief that the person will turn up somehow, defying what others are saying about the need to move on, that there is no hope.
The lover would not believe that. There is still hope.
To give up is a death in itself. Never ever lose hope.
With hope and faith, they will wait.
Even if death comes first, at least they tried.

Assalamualaikum :)
Tau x doa pengasih?
Hr tu housemates semua kecoh pasal bnda ni..bukanlah ayat pengasih yg poof poof bomoh tu, tapi yang menggunakan ayat al-Quran.
Rasa pelik pula bila dinamakan ayat pengasih.
Tapi, yang kelakarnya tu, ada yang tanya Lisa:
"Macam mana Tuhan tau kita nak yang mana satu? Akak nak yang ituuu"
Hahahaha
Ya Allah, bukan ke jawapannye sangat obvious? Kn dah nama Tuhan, mestilah tau segalanya.
Boleh pula dia takut Tuhan bagi yang silap, yang dia taknak.
Tapi soalnya, kita tau ke apa yang kita nak? Sekarang ye la, tapi betul ke pilihan itu yang terbaik?
So baik serah pada yang Maha Mengetahui. Tapi kene usaha la (macam mana nak usaha? susah juga soalan tu, sebab "usaha" sendiri pun xde hasil lagi hahaha)
Memang lah suka, memanglah "cinta".
Tapi...
Semoga pilihan kita itu baik untuk dunia dan akhirat kita dan kita juga baik untuk dunia dan akhiratnya.
Paling membuat hati tersentuh ialah kata2 Dr Fadzilah Kamsah masa Ceramah Bagaimana Mencari Pasangan masa kt Unimas dulu (ni pun kira usaha juga, siap pergi ceramah..ilmiah betullll hehehe) :
Allah gives without asking, as He knows whats in your heart

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,while loving someone deeply gives you courage."-Lao Tzu
Yes, I totally agree. It is not love if it makes you weaker. That is parasitism.
To love and be loved requires strength of heart, strength of the mind and strength of character.
Strength of heart is to have faith when hope seemingly have failed.
Strength of the mind to enable one to weave through the deep intricacies of life and make the right decisions.
Strength of character to keep the love pure and uncontaminated by lust.
Only the faithful can love truly, deeply and purely.
Love is not forbidden by the syariat, so don't be fooled by the foolish.
Isn't Basmalah-In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful?
So there is no way that love is forbidden.
What is forbidden is the contamination by lust.
This is what we should refrain from doing. Always remember that there is always two sides of a coin: in this case, there is the right, correct way to go about things as opposed to the wrong twisted way that is forbidden.
So my friend, be strong for the one you love. If you have to fight for it, then fight. As long as we didn't just let our love slip away just because we are too afraid to be honest with ourselves.
If you let that happen, then you are not worthy of love.
Why?
The reason is because love takes a lot of work and responsibility. Take for an example a situation when someone gave you something to guard and keep. If someone or something threaten to take it out of your hands, then you have to protect and care for it with everything that you can so that it is not lost.
When someone gives you their heart, bear in mind that the heart is an important part of their being. It is essentially an Amanah. So if you don't want to take responsibility for it, then say it to them as gently as possible and as soon as you can make it. Don't wait until it is too late and the person has already fallen so deep. If you do, than you are nothing but a cruel person.
In this note, my friend, if you are the one giving their heart to someone then do take care. Don't give it all away until there is nothing left for your own. Be wary of who you open your heart to and pray. Pray. Pray and ask for that someone to realize how meaningful a gift of a heart is...
If they refuse to accept even though you tried, then cry a little and hold your head high. Then move on. Have faith that everything is for the better.
Ultimately, be strong and believe that there is a greater love, a higher love. The ONE love.
Then I think you'll be alright :)
