The Show

There will always be this one show, or maybe a couple, in everybody's life. The show which you've watched before, and some parts of it just hit you right there in the heart.

For me this show would be Ally McBeal. Managed to download the show's episodes online (yes I know it's illegal but the original DVDs are not on sale even in the States) and watched them again.

Our professions, our jobs, the things that we bring ourselves out of bed everyday for. Did we choose them because that's what we've always wanted to do since young? Or was it because of best friends at some point in our lives chose that and that's why we did as well? Maybe it's just the most straight-forward option available then. Was it?

Our dreams. What happened to them? Have you always wanted to be a high-salaried employee in a big corporation working long hours everyday? Perhaps your dream was to become a backpacker walking across the globe, one continent at a time. What happened?

Every morning we wake up, and look at ourselves in the mirror. What is it that you see? Do you see a happy, contented face looking back? Or a face that's just screaming-- C'mon, I'm late for the morning meeting.

What happened to us?

Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time a girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine and said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time very long ago

Once upon a hill we sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time, now the tree is gone

How the breeze ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there
We were young and didn't have a care
Where did it go?

Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours, how happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time never comes again

Once upon a time never comes again
