Inside a Heart that Blooms



Currently Listening to:
Vide Cor Meum
by
Patrick Cassidy
from
Dante's La Vita Nuova's 3rd chapter's sonnet on A ciascun'alma presa .
Performed by
Danielle de Niese and Bruno Lazzaretti
(OST: Hannibal)



E pensando di lei
Mi sopragiunse uno soave sonno
Ego dominus tuus
Vide cor tuum
E d'esto core ardendo
Cor tuum
Lei paventosa
Umilmente pascea.
Appresso gir lo ne vedea piangendo.
La letizia si convertia
In amarissimo pianto
Io sono in pace
Cor meum
Io sono in pace
Vide cor meum


*******

And thinking of him,
A sweet sleep overcame me...
I am your master
See your heart
And of this burning heart?
Your... heart... your heart
Obediently eats
Weeping, I saw him then depart from me
Happiest joy turns to bitterest tears
I am in peace
My heart?
I am in peace
See... my... heart...


~Dante's "La Vita Nuova", specifically on the sonnet "A ciascun'alma presa", in chapter 3 of the Vita Nuova.~

In the arms of an angel....




To see the world in a grain of sand,

And heaven in a wild flower.

To hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

An eternity in an hour.


~William Blake~

A Shadow of Tears

Tear away, so that I may find peace and rest....



I wept and I wept
I wept for sorrow to fade away
To drain this heart from night to day
To return my soul to its former gay
For love to once again find its way

I wept and I wept
Not a soul in witness
Nor a sound in silence
Just tears of sadness
With a heart of allegiance

~P~

The Tears Within



Don't cry little girl,
Don't cry.
Don't shed your tears,
Go on, wipe it dry.
Don't weep little girl,
Don't weep.
Don't sob a sniff,
Don't show you're weak.

Don't cry little girl,
Don't cry.
Keep it all in,
It will pass you by.
Don't be sad little girl,
Don't be sad.
Don't forget,
There are no regrets.

~P~

The wind in me


First and foremost, THANKS, GLORY AND PRAISE BE GIVEN TO THE LORD ALMIGHTY CHRIST JESUS!!!

For He is worthy and so much more!

The worse of the week is over! Communication Research assignment 3 and Screen Text assignment is done, submitted and OVER! Yeah baby!

I have never spend the whole day literally in my room just doing my assignments! It only required me to write a MERE sum of 5000 words! (Yes, "very little la I know!") But I managed to finish it in 8 hours...which was okay right? Since I have myself a 12 hour quota.

Hello, not easy k? Reading a 15 page long question/article and all, plus needs reference from text book, theories, bla bla bla....

One straight random shout out from me: Degree sucks!!! I can't believe we are paying so much money for the university to torture us!

But "word crapping" prevails still... hence, habis pun! Again, YEAH!!!

But then again... with all words summed up, I was not where near the targeted amount of words, but fear NOT! For it was already (in my opinion) sufficient (kot?)!

So I have the weekend to relax and be lazy Philee till I have the courage to "wake up" and start my 2 o-so-freaking-long-and-complicated-which-I-don't-know-how-to-start journals for Screen Text and Public Relations!

Not to mention another 3000 words for another on-coming campaign management PR assignment!

BLUEK!!!

Have I shouted out I NO LIKE DEGREE?! (Yes the grammer error was purposeful!)

Anyway... college is over for the week so I shall not whine on it....


***********************************

Let's talk about violin class today!!

Not bad, didn't get much errr... bad comments as last week. Hehehe.... was ok, played some nice tunes today with new songs. :D

And as usual, my left fingers are rather sore today... but no biggie, it is worth it. :)

By the way, I have two very interesting and amusing (at least to me) quotes today from my violin Teacher Miss Chuang:
"You are there, just not there yet!"

(LOL)

"Don't play like pasar malam pyjamas!"

(Double LOL).

Reason to that second quote is because I played a new song today that was suppose to be a seductive song called "Sweet Loraine" (cant remember by whom). And Ms Chuang vividly, in a amusing manner demonstrated how the song should be played in a dramatic style. LOL.

She said and acted: "Imagine late night in the pub, sexy lady lying on the piano wearing black stockings and heels along with a black dress singing...bla bla bla..... " - LOL

"This is how the song is, don't play like pasar malam pyjamas."

Get the point?

The song is suppose to be played in a seductive way (sexy black clothes) and I was told don't be a robot...hahaha (pasar malam pyjamas).

*Compare both "garments"*

Then soon later, I played this another song "Rumba" in which again my delighting violin teacher again took the sweet effort in dramatising it out (to let me get the "feel" of the song) before "performing it together".

Hence, we "danced" in class a little....LOL!

For real, she grabbed me and did a Tango before getting into a Waltz and finally down to the Rumba (in a funny and messy way of course).

And the song played later turned out pretty well! I got the beat and "zam-ed" it (if I do say so myself).... :D (cheers to both me and Ms. Chuang)


**************************************************

I miss my dad :(

He is in San Fransisco, USA now for work for weeks to come. And before that he was in Netherlands, Holland before coming back for a few days in which he had to go to Ipoh. And now after US, when he returns home, he will soon depart to Singapore pula....

Holland-Ipoh-USA-Singapore (continuously)

But after all the travelling and work, he will have a month of leave in which he will get to spend it with me, yeah! We are gonna do adventure stuffs together again!!

But for now... I miss my dad.... and his big teddy bear hugs!!

****************************************

I feel like (currently):

- dancing around (like an idiot as usual) with my "invisible" someone....hahaha... pretending la... (yes, lame I know) - which I have been for the past hours in my room here.... nice to dream a little. But it is possible to do the Waltz "alone" and hit the cupboard.... :P
- Speak Shakespeare!!! - Inspired from Casanova (movie) kot.... I seem to be a little delirious mood - "talking" to myself and riddles and in words that I usually read from my poetry and Jane Austen books.

"Oh how I wish to converse in such a manner with a gentleman after my own heart, who is worthy of my lips and sweetest from the start ." - P

*Whao... that was super random wei....hahaha - totally on the spot! I am so self quoting that!!!!
Now I am a bit "angau"...lol!

O such a beauty, the splendour of love.
Give me thy heart and I shall bear my future.
Carress me with thy warmth,
And let me linger.
Show me the star of thy affection,
And let me twinkle.

O my... that was SUPER RANDOM TOO..... tetiba aje... too "angau d"! I must be. I am a poet again... tra la la la la....! :P


Okay I got to go before I get more mushy here... :D
Do have a pleasent day and God bless!!
*HUGGIES*
