Can you...? Whenever I...


Can you hold my hand, whenever I......
Feel lonely,
doubt your sincerity,
need your assurance,
need your encouragement,
am afraid,
fall?

Songs....

Do you know that songs can really influence your mood? From my point of view, songs can actually change your emotions depending on the lyrics and music.... I found out that those who normally listen to emo songs will tend to be emo; those who likes rock music will tend to be quite Gothic or be very 'rocky'; etc.. Well, you can choose to object my point of view, but really, do think about it. Try to on a few happy or lively and positive songs for the whole hour, examine your mood and analyse a little. I've done that before, you can try it too.

Quoted from Wikianswer:

How does music influence people in the world?

Music influences us in many ways.

The number one way music influences us is in our mood.

If we are upset or down about something, and we then listen to one of our favorite, up-beat, more happy songs. fact is, our mood is going to change.

If we are already happy, and we then listen to a slow, sappy song, that makes up think of sad things in our life. Fact is, Our mood is going to change.

Music can influence people

Emo music attacked over teen suicide

Genre blasted again after 13 year-old 'emo girl' commits suicide

May 8, 2008

An inquest in Maidstone has heard that Hannah Bond, a 13 year-old girl from Kent, committed suicide by hanging herself - and emo music has been blamed.

Roger Sykes, the coroner who gave the verdict of suicide yesterday (May 7), suggested that the fact that Bond was an obsessive fan of such music was linked to her death.

The inquest heard that Bond had discussed with friends the "glamour" of suicide, and was obsessed with American band My Chemical Romance (pictured). She had a picture of an emo girl with bloody wrists on her Bebo page.

Bond's father Ray explained that his daughter had had an episode of self-harm prior to her suicide, which she told him was an emo initiation ceremony.

Her mother Heather Bond, also provided some background on her interest in the genre explaining: "There are [emo] websites that show pink teddies hanging themselves. She called emo a fashion and I thought it was normal. Hannah was a normal girl. She had loads of friends. She could be a bit moody but I thought it was just because she was a teenager."

However as he gave the verdict of suicide, coroner Sykes criticised the genre saying: "The emo overtones concerning death and associating it with glamour I find very disturbing."

So yea, in reality songs and music can really affect our mood in one way or another. I advise all of us to be positively charged and spiritually charged (for Christians) by listening to more positive songs as well as Christian songs.

No more braces!

Hello... Just wanna blog about my 'new look'. hehehe.. I took out my braces like 3 days ago... Retainers will only come after 2 weeks. =) Below you can see my teeth last time without, with braces and the after braces effect. hehe.. So yea, braces works!





By the way, I've worn braces for 3 years++: Upper 3 years and 2 months; lower 2 years and 11 months (about there). So, I'm very thankful to have my patient dentist who has helped me throughout this period of time. The money of the braces is totally worth it! I feel more confident when I smile and talk. Last time I super scared of cameras, now I think I'll loveee cameras a lot. hehehe.... =)
