Damien Rice

Please check this singer out.His husky voice and gentle touches of the subtle lyrics, acoustic music and the wonderful combination of the strong female vocal... And of course his honesty. Like in 'Blown's Daughter' -- til I find another person. Ya what do you think he will die loving you?

Gage and I were discussing about him the other day. Gage prefers his 'Amie' and I like his 'Blown's daughter'. We both agree the album is quite worth listening to. And check out the name of the album O. Gage told me it's cos Rice believe relationships are such -- an O, never ending or beginning... Such simple words or rather letter to explain such profound issue.

I am playing the cd as I am writing this blog. I know why I like 'Blown's daughter'. For to me life is 'so it's ...' . Always have been and I hate it so. 30 years flown past and I have always take the 'so it's'. I am a survivor, never an achiever. I take all things as they come. Good or bad, like it or not, I just take it. For if not so how? I am given the options, many many options but the choice is often obvious. Then again it's my choice. My choice, to be a survivor and never an achiever. Like I always say you always have a choice. Always...

And why Amie for Gage? He is my brother. Which is why I am curious about everything but never ask. Who is Hiro? Did she break your heart? Can I break her legs? I never dare ask. But when I saw his blog on Drops of Juipter, it broke my heart. I love my brothers. I try to give the best to them, shield them from all things (good or bad. sometimes you can never tell) but I know they will grow up. And someone will just carelessly hurt them, someone whom I worked for years to protect. Or torn their spirits... I shiver at these tots but I know I risk these everyday. I wish Gage will be as bitchy as he portrays himself to be. But fragile hearts run in the family. I doubt he can escape.

And so I ask myself why Amie? Why is calling out to Amie sad? And I hope it's not cos that's a living hell -- It was said that if you go to Hell, you will have to live, die and relive, die and relive, die and relive... the same death again and again, and again, and again. So I hope it's not the living Hell. I hope it's just cos somehow that song touch you...

Gage, be happy. Believe it or not. There is at least 1 person who live her life to want to ensure that. I am trying to be happy for I just realised it recently.

You know they say if you break your leg, your bones will mend back and your legs will be stronger.

The heart is not like bones. But somehow you become stronger. smarter even.

I know you worry for me, and I am very lucky. But don't worry too much. I will be alright, even with bad shaped heart. It's just a heart.

And no. you can't break Hiro's legs. I don't allow :)
