Music, one of the most beautiful or probably, the only beauty way to express feelings. Sometimes, words too. Magnificent sounds join into one creating beautiful sound to the ears. Music can even touch the heart of people and maybe animals too.
Although it can be beautiful, some of it isn't. Music can express anger, hatred, sadness, and the ill feelings of human too. It is like a remote control which is able to control our emotions. How it works, is mysterious yet wonderfully amazing.
Some genre music can people make people dazzle to it. The beat, the rhythm and the sound of the music is like a guideway for our actions. Dazzling to the enchanting waltz, feeling the vibe the music gives you, is just amazing. Feeling the music and following the vibe of it makes someone a different person. Not completely different but just, different. It is unexplainable but music changes you for that period of time.
Music works differently depending on the genre of it and how we feel it. It can be beautiful but sometimes destructive. Destructive as in brings down a person's emotion. To me, music is one of the essential of living and life.

Loneliness
Loneliness, it has to be one of the worst feelings I swear. Different people feel loneliness differently. Some feel lonely when they have nothing to do, some feel lonely when they do not have someone by their side and well, some feel lonely every time. I guess, you can't really give a definition to the word 'loneliness' because different people have different perspectives on it.
I wonder, why do we have to feel this way? Why can't we control this terrible and sickening feeling? Is like, we're fine for a period of time and suddenly, the loneliness sneaks into us and mess us up big time. We humans have so many things to do, accomplish or aim in life yet, the feeling of loneliness can come to us anytime and we just can't fully control it. Is like a demon.
Cheerful people, motivated people, happy people and positive people, do they feel this way too? They always have a smile on their face but is it a way to mask their loneliness? Even if is, I'm amazed at the fact that they are doing a wonderful job doing so. Maybe they have really found inner peace and abandon negative feelings such as loneliness.
I have so many questions, wandering around my mind, waiting to be answered and it keeps coming when I'm alone. I despite such feeling. I want to be truly happily occupied because is one of the way I can keep the ill feeling away for a period of time. It'll be nice if there was a way to completely abandon it though. Not just a remedy but, a permanent cure for it.

Limits
In the beginning, you may seem alright, strong and motivated. After awhile, the things you do because you wanted it, has started to become a heavy burden. It might be easy and all but later on, it gets more complicated, hard and challenging. You want to stop because it has been too long and you start getting tired and worn out. That is when you know, you're at your limit.
Some people, at their limit keep going on. That is how powerful their will is. How much they really want that thing. Anything can be possible once we're focused on our aim. However, it doesn't really work out well and it starts changing the person. Change in a bad way because, they've been struggling for too long until they slowly lose their own self.
The mind is a powerful thing when you fill in positive thoughts. That's how these people keep on struggling because they're motivated. But, everything has its limits. Like a car meter or the running distance of an average human. Sometimes, limits aren't meant to be broken.
No matter how much you go on and you keep falling, try harder. That's people advise to the one who is down. They don't know though, that some people have been doing this for a long time and achieve nothing but failures. No matter how many times they try to succeed. The variation of ways. The time they sacrifice. It's good if they stop though because, it might not be the thing they were meant for. Same goes for people. Sometimes, you're better off without the one who you so desire for. There are limits to everything and to everyone.

Hope
Hope, a belief that could possibly bring someone closer to what they are seeking for, or the other way around. When one hopes too high, it could possibly lead to where they never wanted to go, the end of the road. The end of the road, as in there is nowhere left to go and you didn't find what you were seeking for.
Hope could also be a wish for someone to get better, a chance to start over a new life, for someone to come back after a long period of time and it could also lead to love. However, we shouldn't expect much cause expectations lead to disappointments. That is hope, it could bring your desires or the unwanted. The unwanted could be good but not at first. Is funny how hope works.
Hope is not just a wishful thinking and the conviction that something will turn out well. It's unexpected, sneaky and odd. Hope is a strange invention, a patent of the heart and mind in unremitting action.

Valentine's Day and Love
Valentine’s Day is a day of love and romance for some, a day of chocolate and cards for others, but for many, it is a day of bitterness. Every year when Valentine’s Day comes around, I hear my friends whine about how they don’t have a Valentine. They go on about how much better the day would be if they had someone with whom to share it. Well to be honest, it is quite lonely and sad for those without a Valentine on that special lovey dovey day. But the singles can do many other things to feel love too.
Though this holiday makes big bucks for candy and card companies, they did not create the tradition. The holiday began with a priest known as Valentine, his illegal activities, and the price he paid.
A long, long, time ago, in a place known as Rome, lived an Emperor named Emporer Claudius II, but for the sake of brevity we’ll just call him Claud. Now, Claud wanted to have a big, strong army but unfortunately, the men of Rome didn’t really want to fight in any wars. Anyway, Claud got this brilliant idea that the men didn’t want to fight because they were married and had kids and whatever Tom Dick and Harry you can put on it. So, Claud decided to ban marriage for young men.
Here is where St. Valentine enters. A bishop and rebel who believed in love, he continued to marry couples in secret. That just makes it all the more exciting, in my opinion. On the other hand, how much would a secret wedding feel like? It would just be you, Valentine, and your fiancee.
Needless to say, Valentine got caught. No more secret midnight weddings for him. Claud ordered that Valentine be put to death. During his imprisonment, however, he fell in love with a girl. Yes, there is always a girl. Before his death on February 14, 270 AD, he wrote her a letter and signed it “From your Valentine.” Looks a bit familiar, doesn’t it?
There is some speculation as to how St. Valentine died. Some say that he was stoned and beheaded, others believe he became heartsick in jail and died. Not that it really matters..maybe it does.
The above is only one of many versions of St. Valentine’s story. By now it’s probably so mixed-up that we will never really know what happened, but that is how stories normally goes through generations. What is important is that St. Valentine died for love and marriage and all that mushy, cheesy and lovey dovey stuff. Some people would probably die for the same things. But actually, love is about trusting, compromising, dedication, honesty, forgiving and working as a team. Because two is better than one. Not most of those mushy tumblr post you see nowadays on the internet.

Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year is an important traditional Chinese holiday celebrated by the Chinese race. In China, it is also known as the Spring Festival. Chinese New Year celebrations traditionally run from Chinese New Year's Eve, the last day of the last month of the Chinese calendar, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, making the festival the longest in the Chinese calendar. The Chinese New Year is often referred to as the "Lunar New Year" in the lunar solar calendar.
The source of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Traditionally, the festival was a time to honour deities as well as ancestors. Chinese New Year is celebrated in countries and territories with significant Chinese populations. Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the lunar new year celebrations of its geographic neighbours.
Regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely. Often, the evening preceding Chinese New Year's Day is an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner. It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly cleanse the house, in order to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for good incoming luck before Chinese New Year. Windows and doors will be decorated in red and with popular themes of "good fortune" or "happiness", "wealth", and "prosperous". Other activities like lighting up firecrackers and giving money in red paper envelopes.

Social media is the most hottest trend of our generation. Social media like Facebook, Twitter , Myspace, Friendster and many more. Facebook was the first ever social media to become such a hit, compared to the other social medias. Even though Facebook sounds amazing, it has it's own advantages and disadvantages.
One of the advantages of Facebook is, it's useful for finding long-lost friends and acquaintances. It's also somewhat useful for assembling groups of people (e.g. likers of Facebook fan pages) interested in a topic, and distributing information to them. It's a good way to distribute images too. Who knows what else its proprietary algorithms do (or how they do it) to help users find stuff that they're likely to be interested in, and weed out what they are unlikely to be interested in. Facebook is designed to be an easy way for procrastinators, or those who have a few idle minutes to fill, to find stimulating material or information. There is always something new and entertaining on the feed, and it's coming from quite a number of sources, rather than being monotonous.

The fact that random people can't post messages, but have to be added as friends first, is against the kinds of vandalism, spam, and other improper behaviours that requires people to vigilantly play the role of moderator on wikis and blogs. Facebook lets each person have a venue for personal expression, without requiring themselves to set up, maintain and publicise a website. It can work synergistically with one's personal website; one can post status updates and create fan pages linking to the website, and one can post on the website links to Facebook profiles, fan pages, etc.
Facebook has quite a disadvantage too as it is a social media website with lack of privacy. Facebook user's status update feed for example. Some users post a lot of interesting statuses, but there are some status that might be able to get someone in trouble. Facebook is also quite an addiction. For some people Facebook could be more addicting than cigarettes. Using Facebook for your need is actually good for us but when we waste most of our valuable time then it becomes harmful. The biggest disadvantages of Facebook is it's addiction which causes many problems, mostly because it kills our precious time.
Facebook can be a good thing and a bad thing for us. It might be able to help us and also might be able to harm us. We should also not over exceed with the usage of Facebook as we can get addicted to it and forget about the real world. Facebook too might be able to get us to know more people but in the same time, it might be able to get us into trouble by mixing with the wrong kind of people. We should be really careful when on social media websites.
