Songs: Good Life by One Republic

Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about

When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cuz hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

Oh yeah
Good, good life
Good life
Ooh

Listen
My friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about

Songs: Marching On by One Republic

For those days we felt like a mistake,
Those times when love’s what you hate,
Somehow,
We keep marching on.

For those nights when I couldn’t be there,
I’ve made it harder to know that you know,
That somehow,
We’ll keep moving on.

There’s so many wars we fought,
There’s so many things we’re not,
But with what we have,
I promise you that,
We’re marching on,
(We’re marching on)
(We’re marching on).

For all of the plans we’ve made,
There isn’t a flag I’d wave,
Don’t care if we bend,
I’d sink us to swim,
We’re marching on,
(We’re marching on)
(We’re marching on).

For those doubts that swirl all around us,
For those lives that tear at the seams,
We know,
We’re not what we’ve seen,

For this dance we’ll move with each other.
There ain’t no other step than one foot,
Right in front of the other.

There’s so many wars we fought,
There’s so many things we’re not,
But with what we have,
I promise you that,
We’re marching on,
(We’re marching on)
(We’re marching on).

For all of the plans we’ve made,
There isn’t a flag I’d wave,
Don’t care if we bend,
I’d sink us to swim,
We’re marching on,
(We’re marching on)
(We’re marching on).

Right, right, right, right left right,
Right, right, right, right left right,
Right, right,
We’re marching on.

We’ll have the days we break,
And we’ll have the scars to prove it,
We’ll have the bonds that we save,
But we’ll have the heart not to lose it.

For all of the times we’ve stopped,
For all of the things I’m not.

We put one foot in front of the other,
We move like we ain’t got no other,
We go when we go,
We’re marching on.

There’s so many wars we fought,
There’s so many things we’re not,
But with what we have,
I promise you that,
We’re marching on,
(We’re marching on)
(We’re marching on).

Right, right, right, right left right,
Right, right, right, left, right,
Right, right,
We’re marching on.

Right, right, right, right left right,
Right, right, right, left, right,
Right, right,
We’re marching on.

Songs: Stop & Stare by OneRepublic

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move, I'm shakin' off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years

Steady hands just take the wheel
Every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal
For the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh

Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see?

They're tryin' to come back, all my senses push
Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could
Steady feet, don't fail me now
I'm gonna run till you can't walk
Something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh

Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need

What you need, what you need
What you need

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
I've become what I can't be
Oh, do you see what I see?

I'm just happy to be like that!

Nowadays standing at POS(counter), I see the simple life that i always dream of...
but somthing different that is i'm still employed by Starbucks, as Barista.

I'm happy being Barista, rather than start with store supervisor with the Diploma cert i have on hand. I don't believe recognition says everything, same applies to positions.

I'd seen and still observing how ppl around me treat their position and role as. Some position is made to widely and positively influence the whole community like a leader, but i see that person actually could achieved more than he is achieving now like a mice or perhaps the company has starting to use him as guinea pig, mayb. Everything is so bling bling around him on surface, on the deep inside of the iceberg, it's like slurping a mark out coffee that normal ppl don't even know it is.

Some very simple, lowest position in the pyramid, is made to assist the higher and have each mission to be successfully lift up everyone's day. I'm observing a few did a very brilliant job! like a leader! like we should follow their track! It's so widely influenced to others around including me where it's shinning from the deep inside the heart of a valuable mineral rock. Not everyone can really see them happening but I'm sure everyone could feel it!


I'm craving to learn more from my observation, I'd love to be the ugly mineral rock that actually contain a very very beautiful shinning heart inside it. It's a DIGNITY i called as. They came from patience, nothing is impossible, an appreciation, respect and mayb more. Spreading all the positive energy that lies within me that could lift up everyone's days and life. I hpe to make ppl's life easier.

Learning from the lowest level in the pyramid is so much fun and experiences. I'm always triggered by surprises! I'm just happy to be like that!

Changes that i realized

Changes after some breakthrough, changes after coming back from sick.
I realized all this in one shot but the experiences were different.

I've been breakthrough from some stress situation in personal life and also in career this year. I've been through to be humble and lots of patience since i start work in Starbucks, but it's already enough to talk about that.

Focusing back in life, I've been through stress in handling my time and financial part, particularly. But this doesn't mean I've solve my problem or been mature enough to handle them again. I'm still modifying my ways of solving problem. Inventing ways from those I had first learnt.

Being easily hot tempered - been accused, lost confidence in career and family trust,
stress from a slow moving life and not achieving the goals i wanted, all these just made me crazy, I could(have been) grab(bed) someone (guy) in the train (ladies coach) and throw him to other coach by sarcastic words and ended with scratching his face with disrespect situations, which could easily put myself in revenge target I still don't care. I'm that fierce! I had been sick for almost a week and involved in car accident which i totally admit it was my fault - but I DIDN'T talk in the phone and driving at that very moment. That is all the darkest old days I couldn't believe but could understand why Buddha put me into.

Finally, I talked to my best friends in KL recently and realized, most of the time, how stubborn i was of looking at something. Just by suggesting different views from them, I could realized this in a click. To improve from this, just one moment of willingness and motivation from my friends, I felt so light again. Yeah!! That's why I'm here.

I'm still learning, the different is, i look things not the same way as a year ago.
Everything becomes more patience, better decision making, more serious in responsibility, more clarity in everything i do, greater expect of my goal important is higher achieving chances in planning goals. Awareness is key to "self-realization" of how am i doing at time.

I'm still learning and eager to learn more. Willingness always stay beside me, I need courage and patience in my habit garden so the seeds would growth and give me strength to improve situations.

Cheers, Junnie.

I will list down as many things that I've achieved this year, 2010 before moving forward. I want to be gratitude, appreciate and move on to the year next with better expectations.

Sharing is believing. I always believe.
