You're Not Alone - SAOSIN

It's just like him
To wander off in the evergreen park
Slowly searching
For any sign of the ones he used to love
He says he's got nothing left to live for
(He says he's got nothing left)

And this time I think you'll know

You're not alone
There's more to this I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

She's just like him
Spoiled rotten, confused by the lies shes been fed
Shes searching for no one
(but herself)
Her eyes turn to green and she seems to be happy
That she is here

And this time I think you'll know

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

You're not alone
There is more to this i know
You can make it out

(There is more to know)

We're not alone
There is more to this i know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

(So tell me)

You're not alone
There is more to this i know
You can make it out
You will live to tell
x2

You're not alone
You're not, you're not alone


****************
Some songs just get lodged in your head.
This is one of those songs.
LONG LIVE SAOSIN!!

WARNING SIGNS II

In my previous post, I spoke that people should have warning signs labeled prominently on their foreheads. And if the world revolved as I pleased, perhaps it would have saved my friends a little tears and heartache.

[ Suicidal Precaution ]

Rm 5 committed suicide this morning. Much to the dismay of Mokie.

The poor lass took it quite badly. Engulfed with grief, she chided herself for and allowing him to be discharged. She told him he could stay if he wanted. But Uncle remained adament on being discharged.

She sat there, wiping the tears that could no longer be contained.

It’s seriously not your fault sweetie. You did all you could. You guys highlighted his suicidal thoughts and put him on SC monitoring. You all put your heart into his care. I’m so proud of you guys for being able to feel such emotions. It just proves that you care enough for your patients. Allow yourself to grief. It’s a process that you need to recognize and go through.

F4 will be here for you. You’ll not be alone.

He crossed paths with you for a reason. Don’t let his death be in vain. Learn and remember him. He was a sad man. The care you guys provided offered him enough solace to keep him alive.

“ Can you tell me how he died? No. I’ll tell you how he lived..”

It’s always difficult to go through such things. But such things are a part of reality. Sometimes, we manage to intervene in time. And sometimes, no matter what we do, we can never change the end result.

And when someone has their hearts set on dying, it requires more to correct that.

In our line, we come across many destitutes, neglected by the general public. The economy is booming. An increasing number of people are getting the opportunity for higher education. More people are buying homes. We’re breeding millionaires by the hundreds. We’re even sipping $7/cup coffee.

And yet the world is turning a blind eye to the plight of the people that is left behind. Are monetary handouts sufficient? Where should our real priorities lie?

Perhaps it will be easy to blame the government. Others. Or even ourselves. But blame is useless. It doesn’t have the power to modify the inevitable. Only taking the effort to recognize all these and converting it into action makes a positive change.

Everyone has the power to start. No matter how insignificant it may seem. A little chat, a show of concern, a simple greeting or smile every morning has the power to make miracles happen.

Sometimes, we’re all more capable then we imagine.

On a lighter note, F4 bundled with Leni and Ana had a great time today. It’s good to have a close knit bunch to pour out those pent up feelings.

Warning Signs

People should come with warning labels, stuck prominently onto the forehead.
Then at least the whole world will be justly notified.

The warning should also include a diagram and be color coded, in Braille and even an auditory function, just to cover the entire living population. For tree huggers, an alternative solar powered one will be available.

There should be laws to enforce mandatory display of such warnings. And hefty fines for flouters and those who display the inappropriate signs. Everyone will have a bag of signs to carry around. I bet my fat ass it will make the world a much better place.

With such clear warnings, it would be near impossible for people to misinterpret each other.

It will be the death of mixed signals.

Some examples include :

“I’m so not in the mood” Warning
Obviously suited for those in the mood, this sign will provide a clear and definite signal to people so they can be quick to avoid the owner. It’s a reliable substitute for the retro “Palm in the face” aka “Talk to my hand” Technique.

“I’m lying through my teeth” Warning
Worthy for any unrepentant liar. Availabel in a cheeky "Truth Twister" for the language enhanced and a politically (in)correct version for politicians and G. Bush.

“I honestly love you” Warning
For love struck doves. Also comes with a “Really Really, so psycho in love” attachment and blinking heart add-ons for wannabe stalkers and admirers.

“Born without EQ” Warning
A must for all rude and irritating specimens roaming the earth. Comes complete with a plastic shield in front to block spit, among other rubbish that may be hurled at the owner.

“Caution : Menses” Warning
For all to behold, a requirement by law to invoke adherence just before, during menses or at any time hormonal imbalance may be suspected. Applicable to both male and female. Cause we ALL understand and have experienced men having equal or worse episodes to rival any self respecting woman shedding their womb lining.

“Emo” Warning
A generalized warning for bouts of crying and acute loss of emotional control.

And lastly, an “I’m not interested in you like that” Warning
Eligible for everyone whom has experienced the pain of unrequited love.
PS – the “Love me back or I will die” warning should be banned at all cost, as that constitutes emotional blackmail.
However, it will pay to take note that the abovementioned list is not exhaustive. There will always be a place for "Gold Digger", "Cheap Slut", "Super ACT Cute" etc.
