and i say, thank you for the music.

helloooo.

i just got back from tioman.
awesome trip. not because there was a lot of luxury or fun.
but because of the simple things in life.

friends. fellowship.

and also, it got me thinking about what i really want to do in life. because all the guides living in the eco resort have such passion for what they do, such love for life. i really don't mind living out the rest of my life in the same way even if it means forsaking the finer things in life. it just showed me how 'no man is an island', we don't live in this world by ourselves. we live for others. we live to help make this world a better place.

alas, life is not that simple. and as we trudge back into our daily routines and committments, we have to try and figure out where it is we came from and how to proceed from here.

BETTER TOGETHER - JACK JOHNSON

there's no combination of words
that i could put on a postcard
no song that i could sing
but i can try for your heart

and our dreams
they are made of real things
like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-tone lovin'

love is the answer,
at least for most of the questions in my heart
like why are we here?
where do we go?
and how come it's so hard?

it's not always easy
and sometimes life can be deceiving
i'll tell you one thing
it's always better when we're together

and all of these moments just might find
their way into my dreams tonight
but i know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings
or brings new things
for tomorrow night
you'll see
they'll be gone too
too many things i have to do

but if all of these dreams may find their way
into my day to day scene
i'd be under the impression i was somewhere inbetween
with only two, just me and you
not so many things we gotta do
or places we gotta be
we'll sit under the mango tree now

yeah, it's always better when we're together

i believe in memories
they look so, so pretty when i sleep
hey now, and when i wake up
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
but there's not enough time
and there is no, no song i could sing
and no combination of words i could say
but i will still say one thing
we're better together.
