I am...

It has been a while since I posted anything here. Again, does this show my tardiness? Probably yes. Haha... Lots of lots of things have happened to me in this summer and I am really glad that I have experienced every single one of them. ^^

Just not too long ago, I was listening to my old iPod nano which I have abandoned for quite a long time. There is an old song that really inspired me in writing all of this. The song is titled "Where are You Now" by Bandslam. I don't even remember how I got this song in the first place, but the lyrics of this song is so true. The following is the lyrics:

Where are You Now - Bandslam

To my favorite teacher
told me never give up
To my fifth grade crush
Who I thought I really loved
To the guys I've missed and the girls we've kissed
Where are you now

To my ex-best friends
Don't know how we grew apart
To my favorite band
Sing along in my car
To the face I see in my memory
Where are you now

Where are you now?
Cause I'm thinking of you
You showed me how
How to live like I do
If it wasn't for you
I would never be who I am

To my first girlfriend
I thought for sure was the one
To my last girlfriend
Sorry that I screwed it up
To the ones I loved
Didn't show it enough
Where are you now

Where are you now
Cause I'm thinking of you
You showed me how
How to live like I do
If it wasn't for you
I would never be who I am

I know we'll never see those days again
And things will never be that way again
But that's just how it goes
People change but I know
I won't forget you

To the ones who came
Who we're there from the start
To the love that left
And took a piece of my heart
To the few who'd swear
They'd never go anywhere
Where are you now?

Where are you now?
Cause I'm thinking of you
You showed me how
How to live like I do
If it wasn't for you
I would never be how I am
If it wasn't for you
I would never be who I am
If it wasn't for you
I'd be nothing
Where are you now?

When we were just born to this world, we met our parents. They are the ones who taught us how to walk, stand, talk, and many more basic things that we can naturally do right now. They can also be considered as the most influential people in our lives. They show us how to become a person in this society. I am really - really thankful for what they did, do, and will do in the future. =D Someday in the coming future (hopefully not too long), I will be able to repay them. =)

As the part of this life, growing up, going to school, entering the workforce, entering the society, we also met teachers, friends, classmates, co-workers and other people. =D As time goes on, we started to spend more and more of our time outside of our house. The people that we spent time with also brought significant influence in our lives, which can be either good or bad. And for those who are lucky enough to had or even have boy/girlfriend, I believe they also "tried" to change you somehow. HAHA..


The lyrics of this song really describes all of these. Who or what we have become today is affected by people around us. Regardless of who they are, whether they are people whom we met in the past, present, or future, every single one of them will have some influence on us. The influence being brought by them depends on how close we are to them. ^^

For those who I met and lost contact with, I miss you all! Really hope we can get in touch again. =) For those who I still have contact with, I also miss you all because most probably I still haven't been able to meet you again, at least 2 years? Haha... And lastly, for those who I will meet in later future, please make me a better person than what I am today. =)))
