UNMISTAKABLE.... BSB

[Brian:]

Anytime, anywhere, anyplace
You could be anyone today
Maybe I would recognize you On a crowded street

[AJ:]
Maybe you'll take me by surprise
Will you be the one I had in mind

[Chorus (emphasis on AJ):]
There'll come a day
When you'll walk out of my dreams
Face to face
Like I'm imagining
Baby how can I be sure
That you're the one I'm waiting for
Will you be unmistakable

[AJ:]
Unmistakable

[Nick:]
People say we're watching our lives
Through a glass
Desperately waiting on a chance
I know you're out there
Holding on, holding out for me

[AJ:]
How are we to know the time is right
What if you're here and I'm just blind

[Repeat Chorus (emphasis on Nick)]

[Nick:]
How can I know a song I never heard
How will I know your voice
When you haven't said a word

[AJ:]
How do I know how this will end
Before we begin

[Nick:]
Before we begin

[Howie:]
There'll come a day
When you walk out of my dreams

[All:]
Face to face (face to face)
Like I'm imagining (Like I'm imagining)
Baby, how can I be sure (how can I be sure)
That you're the one I'm waiting for (You're the one I'm waiting for)
Will you be (will you be)
Will you be (will you be)

I FELT THE WAR.....

I don’t know whether I was lucky or unlucky; but I managed to live through the last 3 weeks… which was the darkest nightmare in my entire life. I needed to get away with all my pains and look for a change. As I planned some time ago, I decided it’s the best time to go to Anuradhapura. Not a trip or anything. I seriously needed a distraction and to focus on something really good. Nadee akka is like my own family.

She lives in Anuradhapura, where her beloved hubby, Prasanna ayya fights with tigers in North. He was a Captain and recently, he got promoted as a Major.. Well.. I’m not very good with their ranks, but this is what Nadee akka told me. The most horrific battles are happening these days in Mulativu. He was in the 2nd frontline. While having an officers meeting, they have been hit by a mortar.

One piece of metal has pierced through his body, right under his left armpit. It has come out from his chest, barely saving the heart by one and a half inches. His left arm was broken and the joint of the arm was crushed. He was injured in a bad way. As soon as we heard the news, we immediately went to the Army Hospital in Anuradhapura to see him. I just can’t explain the situation there. First I was so upset, so that I sat for a while and waited. Then I started to walk through all the wards, looking at the injured soldiers.

What I saw was unimaginable. Legs… arms, cut… horrible burns…. Blinded… bleeding… blood… broken ribs… life saving machines…. Crying wives…. Crying children, hugging their fathers and brothers… Sigh… Me telling you all this, is useless.. You should… I mean really really SHOULD go and see for yourself. Then only you’ll realize how it feels like, my friends.

Last Friday, I left for Anuradhapura in the intercity train in the evening, with Nadee akka’s mom. The train reached there within 4 hours. For the next 3 days, we had plenty to do. The hospital allows visitors to see their patients 3 times a day. Each time lasts for 2 hours. Counting it all, we can stay in the hospital for 6 hours a day. Prasanna ayya was getting a little better. For his 3 meals, we prepare the things he loves to eat. But most of the time, most patients don’t get that attention. Most of their family members live far away, so they can’t come everyday. They don’t get the love and the care they need when it is needed the most. They cry…. But they like if there’s anyone to talk to them.

I seriously needed to do something for them. But they get all the things they need from whatever welfare societies here and there. So what I did was, talking to them as much as I can, and helping them in whatever way I can. I felt the war when I was there… People just listen to the news and they’re just happy that the war is ending… But do they really FEEL the war…?? Well.. let me tell you how I felt it.

Nadee akka’s home is just near the 4th Signal Regiment’s army base, which is also next to the Airport base. You don’t hear busses… you don’t hear cars… You only hear helicopters… They just.. come and come.. endlessly. When the sound of the helicopters stops, then you start to hear ambulances. 10 ambulances pass you by, but only one of them is alarming the siren to make way. After a moment, the van from the hospital heads the same way to bring bodies to the hospital. This is what’s happening in Anuradhapura right now.

For the injured soldiers in Prasanna ayya’s ward, I became a familiar face, after one or two visits. Then I went ahead and talked with most of them. Let me tell you one story. The soldier who was next to Prasanna ayya’s bed.

Name: Sampath.
Age: 27
Birthplace: kuliyapitiya
Nature of the injury: Left leg, cut below the ankle… right leg, fully burnt…
Cause: Landmine

He was injured in Puthukkudiyirippu, the LTTE war zone. He has remembered his friend carrying him and running to the helicopter. Two days later, he has waked up in the hospital to find his friend lying two beds away from him, one eye blinded. He showed his friend to me. I fed his several times. He was crying a lot cz his legs were paining. I confronted him telling him how lucky he is to live. This was one incident, friends. There are many tragic stories I can tell you now… But let me not be the one to tell it all to you. Just go there, friends. Help them. This is the moment they need you the most. At least I’m glad that I spent a few days helping them as much as I can.

NUMB.. NULL... VOID AND EMPTY....

For minutes, I’m keeping my fingertips on the keyboard, thinking what to write. My mind is numb.. null… void and empty. I lived to see the darkest day of my life. The one you trust the most… the one you love the most.. broke your heart into million pieces, so that you’re left alone, collecting those pieces your entire life.

It’s impossible… For everyone around me, it’s unbelievable. But the one who says that they care for you the most.. and love you the most… can burn your life into dust in a few seconds… I’m still thinking why??? I just can’t figure out why. Friendship…?? Love..?? Happiness..?? Trust..?? How soon can they disappear?

Life is lifeless now.. You just live cz you’re alive. One day all the pains will go away. By then, it’s too late. I just wanted to thank all my friends for being there with me in the most difficult moment in my life. Love you all. Angels exist in this world? I doubt now. But good friend do. Thanks a lot my dear friends.

I WATCHED TWILIGHT...

It’s a different movie.. and it’s a different storyline. Since the day the movie was out, I so much wanted to watch it. But I waited till a good copy appeared in my familiar Torrent site. Downloaded it a few hours ago… and finished watching it just now. I just loved it.

It’s a story about a teenage girl who falls in love with a vampire. This girl, Bella Swan has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cares about fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarried and Bella chooses to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul.

In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. That's right - vampire. But he doesn't have fangs - that's just in the movies. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy

That’s some part of the story. Kristen Stewart is Bella Swan and the handsome vampire, Edward is Robert Pattinson. The moment you see him, you’ll recognize who he is. He’s Cedric Diggory from the Harry Potter movies. In the 4th movie, he’s the one who competes till the end I the Triwizard tournament. Yes.. the handsome one.

Now they’re filming the sequel of this movie; The Twilight Saga: New Moon and it will be out on 20th November 2009. Just for the record.. You’ll like the movie, I’m sure. So don’t miss it. The soundtrack on the movie is great too.. I loved the song “Decode” by Paramore..

Bella: You’re impossibly fast and strong. Your skin is pale white and ice cold. Your eyes change colour and sometimes you speak like.. like you’re from a different time. You never eat or drink anything; you don’t go out in the sunlight. How old are you?

Edward: Seventeen….
Bella: How long you’ve been seventeen?
Edward: A while…

Bella: I know what you are…
Edward: Say it… out loud. Say it..
Bella: Vampire…
Edward: Are you afraid?
Bella: No..

Edward: Then ask me the most basic question. What do we eat?
Bella: You won’t hurt me…
