Lara – Come Near a Little Closer

September 14, 2006

Here is a song from the series “It Started With a Kiss”. I rate this song as 10/10.

靠近一点点
Come Near a Little Closer

默默在你的身後守候的我
I silently wait behind you
多想看你不经意的笑容
Really want to see your accidental smile
或许我的心你不懂
Maybe you do not understand my heart
我会努力让你感动
I will try to flatter you

在你眼中有多麼笨拙的我
I’m the clumsy one in your eyes
决不放弃追逐你的执著
I will not give up my will to follow you
只要你能再多些回应我
I just need you to give me some response
一个笑或点头全接受
I will accept a smile or a nod.

[Chorus]

能不能再靠近一点点
Can I come near a little closer
大声说出你所有感觉
Confess my feeling to you loudly
别再紧紧关在只有自己的世界
Don’t shut yourself in your own world anymore
温暖太阳为你迎接
The warm sun welcomes you

能不能再靠近一点点
Can I come near a little closer
能不能再勇敢一点点
Can I be braver a little bit
就算让我知道我永远只是单恋
Even if I knew it’s always a one way love
我也会藏著感谢
I will still keep my gratitude
笑著和你说再见
Smilling to you and say goodbye.


Ariel Lin – Lonely Northern Hemisphere

September 14, 2006

孤單北半球
Lonely Northern Hemisphere

用你的早安陪我吃晚餐
Your morning greetings accompany me on my dinner
记得把想念存进扑满
I need to remember to put my misses in the piggy bank
我望着满天星在闪
I stare at the myriad stars shining in the sky
听牛郎对织女说要勇敢
Listening to the Ox Boy telling the Tailor Fairy to stay strong

不怕我们在地球的两端
I am not afraid of us standing on the two opposite sides of Earth
看你的问候骑着魔毯
I watch your greetings fly on a magic carpet
飞用光速飞到我面前
As it flies to me at the speed of light
你让我能看到十字星有北极星作伴
You let me see the North Star become a companion of the Cross Star

[Chorus]

少了你的手臂当枕头 我還习不习惯
Not having your arm as a pillow, I have yet to get used to
你的望远镜望不到 我北半球的孤单
Your telescope cannot capture my loneliness at the Northern Hemisphere
太平洋的潮水跟着地球来回旋转
The Pacific Ocean’s tide whirl along with Earth’s rotation
我会耐心地等 等你有一天靠岸
I will wait patiently, waiting for that one day you finally approach the shore
少了你的怀抱当暖炉 我习不习惯
Not having your hugs as a stove, I still have not gotten used to
E 给你照片看不到我北半球的孤单
My loneliness in the northern hemisphere cannot be seen in the pictures I sent via e-mail
世界再大两颗真心就能互相取暖
No matter how big the world is, our sincerity will keep each other warm
想念不会偷懒 我的梦通通给你保管
I will not be lazy in missing you; all my dreams are for you to keep.


Work at HP

September 13, 2006

Alright, I finally got the job in HP. Starting Monday (Sept18), I will be working as an “ITO Support Specialist I”. Along with it came many many benefits. Some of which include: monthly free sacks of rice, employee discount, laptop, high speed DSL, and many more. Hehe I can’t wait to start working. ^^

Unfortunately, there is one setback. I still have lots of forms to fill up. Also, I have to get my SSS number which requires getting an authentic birth certificate. I had a problem there since they said that my birth certificate information is not yet in their computer database. Haay, hopefully they’ll be able to fix this soon.


Next Chapter

September 7, 2006

College life is over. Everything went well eventually~

We managed to complete our thesis, defend it, and submit all the final deliverables. So now I can finally relax. Hahaha no more pressure! ^^ Wheeeee!!!

But then, now that college life is over… what is next?
The answer -> work.

Step #1: Find a company to apply into.
Well, it just so happened that when we were asking Ms. Ethel for advice regarding our thesis flash presentation, she had news about the company HP looking for people to hire. So I volunteered to be recommended for it. Hehe (lucky!!)

Step #2: Send Application Form then wait for interview.
In DLSU, we had a contact person (Ms. Cindy) who is also working in HP. Since she was the one looking for people to hire, I was recommended to her. So I gave her my application form, resume, and transcript of records. After that, I have to wait for a phonecall from HP.

Step #3: Phone rang… instant Interview meeting!
Hehe I don’t know when HP started calling my cellphone. It just so happened that my cellphone was dead for about 3 days since I was too lazy to charge it. One reason was because my charger was broken and I had to borrow my bro’s. Well, on the day I charged my cellphone was the same day I received the call from HP. I was then scheduled to have an interview the following day at 4pm. (September 6, 2006)

Step 4: Find HP then Interview
The HP company was located somewhere along Ayala Avenue in Robinsons Summit Center. At first we thought we will spend a long time looking for it since we didn’t know the exact location, but thankfully we managed to find the building easily except it was hard to look for a place to drop me. I managed to get to HP around 3:40pm (early) and so I was able to do the interview early also (3:50pm). There were 3 managers who interviewed me. And one of them looked a lot like my uncle Abi. Haha I’m sure he is not him. ^^

Step 5: Wait for HP to call me again
I won’t write the details of the interview anymore. But basically, I have to wait at most a week before they call me up. If ever I am accepted, most likely I will start working there on September 18. ^^ Cool!

This ends my “work” story. haha
So… what am I doing now while waiting?
Well, I spent most of my time downloading Taiwan series (“It Started With a Kiss” and “Love Contract”). Both of which stars “Ariel Lin” as the lead female artist (so cuute!!).

So far, I managed to watch the whole “Love Contract” series and overall I find the story good. More so, it has a unique ending which I might as well not spoil here. On the other hand, “It Started With a Kiss” is one of the BEST series I ever watched. Unfortunately, it is still incomplete and is currently being subbed in D-Addicts. But nonetheless, its really the best!

Other than those two, I was able to complete the “Return of the Condor Heroes 2006″ series which has 41 episodes. It features Crystal Liu a.k.a. “Liu Yi Fei” (an angel). Haha

Well, this ends my next chapter post. I’ll be updating this as soon as more news comes along. ^^
