NOT love at first sight




























There someone I'm in love with...Although I can't be with her now...I'm still in love with her...

I've always taken the gift of sight for granted. I would hurt my eye, not take care of it. I love reading until late night, and i love to do it in the most hurtful of conditions - while in motion, or with little light. NOw that my passion for photography has taken ahold of me, i can't imagine being without it, being lost and unable to appreciate the beauty - to view what is real and envision possibilities.






The words above were words narrated by the man in the the video. He is a photographer himself, and he chose to up this most precious gift for the girl that he loved and hurt. And love still. AT the end, the girl realizes that it was him who gave her back the ability to see, and it's heartbreaking to watch when she realizes the sacrifice he made for him.






Everyone of us makes that wish. To find someone that would love us. Few of us realize that this wish is most easily remedied not by a wish getting granted .... but by a choice being made.
My wish? To be strong enough to make that choice one day. To give my heart to someone and love that person so damn much that i would risk everything, be less, lose everything and yet, be better , be whole for it.




The song is by KISS ( Jini, MIni and Umji) , one of Korean's instant hits, but which disbanded after their one and only album. Would you believe that this clip is so popular that many versions of the song were made, and in many languages - english, french, mandarin, cantonese, even tagalog! The two actors in the video are Shin Hyun Joon and Goo Hye JIn. Both gorgeous!

UTADA HIKARU'S FIRST LOVE

I remember first seeing and hearing Utada in a club in Hongkong, where she played years ago... From that moment until now, this song's still one of my favorites.
