Do Whatcha Gotta Do

It's been a minute since you left me
Out here on my own
And I never felt this empty
Since I've been alone
And the silence is louder than any fight we ever had before
You don't even know

The time for night to turn to morning
Never took this long
And there's nothing to take from me
Cause you're already gone
Being hurt for a while's how I'll get over you

So keep calling me names, babe
Tell everyone I'm crazy
Do whatcha gotta do
To forget about me and you
If it's easier to hate me
Then go on have your way babe
Do whatcha gotta do
To forget about me and you

I can't remember to forget you
Whenever there's another
I accidentally just compare you
But they don't measure up
Every mile that I steer
Every song that I hear is a memory of you
Please leave me alone
And no matter what
Please don't regret all the times you
Pretend you don't see me
It's pathetic I try to despise you
Just like you do with me
Love just don't disappear especially when it's true

So keep calling me names, babe
Tell everyone I'm crazy
Do whatcha gotta do
To forget about me and you
If it's easier to hate me
Then go on have your way babe
Do whatcha gotta do
To forget about me and you

Sometimes it takes you feel you've died to know you really are alive in here
And I'd trade my soul
Just to wake up from
This nightmare they all say is my life now
Baby I don't wanna make it all harder for you
But I love you like crazy if you gotta hate me
Then do what you gotta do

So keep calling me names, babe
Tell everyone I'm crazy
Do whatcha gotta do
To forget about me and you
If it's easier to hate me
Then go on have your way babe
Do whatcha gotta do
To forget about me and you...

Currently this is the main blog song. I've been infatuated with this song recently; Jojo's voice is so soothing and nice in lyrics highlighted in bold above...the lyrics that sound distant yet familiar...the forgotten lyrics that hauntingly inspires my soul...and yes, this is a pre-post to a big update that's coming up real soon...I know you readers are missing me loads. =)

Mother's Day Special

The Joy Luck Club trailer

English has been my first love, and now Literature is next. Literature, a subject that inspires, a subject that is alive.

An excerpt from the book: Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan.

"Tell them stories she told you, lessons she taught, what you know about her mind that has become your mind," says Auntie Ying. "You mother very smart lady."
I hear more choruses of "Tell them, tell them" as each Auntie frantically tries to think what should be passed on.
"Her kindness."
"Her smartness."
"Her dutiful nature to family."
"Her hopes, things that matter to her."
"The excellent dishes she cooked."
"Imagine, a daughter not knowing her own mother!"
And then it occurs to me. They are frightened. In me, they see their own daughters, just as ignorant, just as unmindful of all the truths and hopes they have brought to America. They see daughters who grow impatient when their mothers talk in Chinese, who think they are stupid when they explain things in fractured English. They see that joy and luck do not mean the same to their daughters, that to these closed American-born minds "joy luck" is not a word, it does not exist. They see daughters who will bear grandchildren born without any connecting hope passed from generation to generation.

The Joy Luck Club is a book that can bring tears to your eyes, while reading...I'm happy to be studying this book for the O Levels...it's very inspirational and engaging.

Happy Mother's Day. =)
