what world do you wanna live in???

Lately I found my self listening to Luciano Pavarotti, I really enjoy listening to the color of his voice. He was a great tenor singer, sadly he passed away in 2007, God rest his soul. Until today many people still adore his voice. He has a very unique sound that most people really enjoy; it's very calming yet it's still powerful. A particular song that I really like these days is the La Ci Darem La Mano or in the translation; There we'll be hand in hand, dear.

The La Ci
Darem is a part of Don Giovanni, an opera that was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Don Giovanni it self is quite famous, but I particularly enjoy the La Ci Darem song. This song is sung by Don Giovanni and Zerlina. It goes something like this.

Don Giovanni

ci darem la mano,
mi dirai di .
Vedi, non è lontano;
Partiam, ben mio, da qui.

Zerlina
(Vorrei e non vorrei,
Mi trema un poco il cor.
Felice, è ver, sarei,
Ma può burlarmi ancor.)

Don Giovanni
Vieni, mio bel diletto!

Zerlina
(Mi fa pietà Masetto.)

Don Giovanni
Io cangierò tua sorte.

Zerlina
Presto... non son più forte.

Don Giovanni
Andiam!

Zerlina
Andiam!

A duet
Andiam, andiam, mio bene.
a ristorar le pene
D’un innocente amor

now the english translation;

Don Giovanni
There we’ll be hand in hand, dear,
There you will say, “I do.”
Look, it is right at hand, dear;
Let’s go from here, me and you.

Zerlina
(I want to, but it’s not pure,
My heart is ill at ease.
I would be happy, I’m sure,
But it may all be a tease.)

Don Giovanni
Come, sweetest love, let’s hurry!

Zerlina
(
Masetto gives me worry.)

Don Giovanni
I’ll change your life forever.

Zerlina
Soon, dear… I don’t feel clever.

Don Giovanni
Let’s go!

Zerlina
Let’s go!

Together
Let’s go, my love, let’s go,
To heal the pain and woe
Of love that’s innocent.

looking at this song; the first thought that probably across your mind is a love song. Is a hesitation between a man and a woman. But actually in the play this is an affair song. Don Giovanni is asking
Zerlina to leave her husband and join him. It's pretty interesting isn't it???

Before I know the meaning, I really enjoy just the music. It has catchy tunes and gentle flow; this song will blow you away. But, hey, I dunno why Mozart composed an affair song such a happy song. I thought about it and maybe the world with many crazy situation is more fun to live in that in a world with a happy face every time.

I found affair, cheat, jealousy and hatred make the world go around more; without such a bad attitude there will be no righteous person, everybody just right...doing the right thing, the right time...how boring is it??? There are no vibes in life; there are no life in life it self….. There will be no sadness, anger; happy will be normal, and nothing will bring happiness to people.


What do you prefer??? A badasss world??? Or a ‘perfect’ world??? You decide…

easter show????!!!

Lately I've been thinking...Why do ozzies celebrate easter???I mean not all of ozzies are Christian, it's great that they put a holiday for it, but, on what purpose??

Looking deeply on easter, the whole week was actually a psychedelic, fellings mixed up, many of believers thought that they lost their hope that friday, looking to that so called "God" died. I mean, God can't die, everybody knows that. Ancient Roman's God, the mighty Zeus never die, because he's mighty. Yet this guy, the one called Jeshua of Nazareth, proclaimed that He's God but died on that cloudy friday. It's a lost hope to his followers. But, on that Sunday morning, their paradigm changed. His grave was empty and he walk this earth once more. It was a joyous feeling beyond imagination.

Easter, is a sad week, yes, is a happy week, yes. But do the ozzies know that??? All that they know is time to have fun, get away from town, having fun, going out to parties, get drunk. And what bout easter show???? what does that represents to easter that we know??

Easter had become just a show, a parade of fun, nothing else. Just a few know what easter really means. A few that are called,"true christians." Are you that person????

Is it right or is it wrong??? You'll be the judge.....

Good people???Bad people???

As humans in a humanly world, we act like humans, we think like humans. As we know humans likely to judge a book by their cover rather than their purpose. We know, humans judge in the way of their liking. This is what I saw today, you'll be the judge.

This afternoon, I woke up at 11 o'clock. I took a bath and went to officeworks with my house mate. But this is not where the story begins. The story begins an hour later at the busy shopping centre in lunch time. Where people are trying to grab some lunch before their next business at hand. I was there trying to buy some KFC, but still this is not where your judgement begins. After I had some lunch, I'm trying to buy a large coke from Hungry Jacks (some of you may know it as Burger King). I was waiting in line, and apperently the one who served me is my ex-housemate. I ordered a large coke and going to pay for my order, but when I saw him, he didn't prepare my coke. Instead he prepare me a whooper, a large fries, a storm to go along with the coke. And I didn't have to pay a cent for it. I was still hungry at the time, and I didn't have enough money to get seconds. But I didn't tell him, yet, he gave me the complete set otherwise. At the end, I was full.

My thoughts were is it right or wrong? I'll say it's wrong because it's stealing from the company. by giving people free food, the company revenue will go down, yet I'll say it's right, he's helping a friend in need, I was still hungry and I didnt have enough money. Is it right or is it wrong??? You tell me....

something that's on my mind

we think, as humans, we have thoughts, that differ us from other things living on this world. "Cogito ergo sum" as Rene Descartes said, "I think therefore I am." Our thoughts have changed the world since the day of creation, without thoughts there will be no fire,wheels or even cars that we drive everyday.

It's the natural law for us to think, we think good things, bad things, weird things. We prejudice before we speak, it's the human way. We have thoughts when we meet a person for the first time. it has been our way since back then.

this blog is my thoughts, my prejudice, my thinking, may way....
