Why I love Aphrodite by The Ridleys

First and foremost, The Ridleys was introduced to me by a good friend who is a fan of them. She said that her favorite of all their songs was the Aphrodite. So we listened to it.

I am that kind of person who appreciates almost all types of music, though seldom the popular ones, because what matters most for me are the lyrics and the message. So I asked her to let me see the lyrics.

One thing’s for sure. The musicality is excellent. But it is the first lines that made me fall in love.

"You're the moon that glows in the sky. Lighting up the world when it's blue."

I love the night sky. I love seeing it, searching about it, and most of all, I love painting it. Hearing the song actually gives imagery of a starry night sky, especially because it is lively. It is a happy song with a soul. It’s one of those songs that can make you realize your worth; that you may not know it yet but someone’s looking at you and being inspired by you. It is a song that touches the heart.

That, I believe, is very relevant today.

In an age when beauty and self-worth is something people work for, it is heartwarming to know that there’s at least one person who loves you for who you are — inside and out.

Days come when you don’t feel like your best self. These are the days when joy is nowhere to be found, and in these days it helps to know that you light up someone else’s life. When it gets dark inside, it helps to know that there are people who love and support the authentic and real you — be it the optimistic or pessimistic you. These are the people who cheer you up as you follow your passion. These are the people who believe in you even when you don’t (and can’t) believe in yourself.

"I see the galaxies when I look in your eyes, And I can't speak no I can't speak at all."

If you are like me, you are that kind of person who look at people in the eyes, and seldom do you talk to people without maintaining an eye contact. It is in that deep connection of souls through the eyes that you learn to share a part of you. There’s nothing that captivates you more than the eyes do. The chorus of the song perfectly puts this feelings into words.

I just wanna go back to the time where I can sleep peacefully at night without overthinking. To the time where I can sleep early without crying myself to sleep. Time where I smile genuinely without faking it. Time where everything was fine, not too tired, not too stress, not too sad. Just a happy moment.

Do not let your fire go out. Have an irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration. The world you desire can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

A slice-of-life second-chance sort of romance that manages to pack a good amount of emotional heft, despite its rather unassuming trappings.

‘Our Beloved Summer’ blew past like a whirlwind and a soft summer breeze, all at once. The equally loveable and frustrating characters kept us invested as they went through trials and tribulations, and faced personal revelations.

The characters grew and evolved at their own paces, and allowed each other the respect of dealing with their personal struggles in their own time, adding to the heartwarming nature of the show. Every character had a clear individual storyline going, putting a lot at stake for the last episode, but the show pulled through.

In an effort to tie up all the loose ends, the final episode contained multiple life-changing moments for each pivotal character, but at the same time, somehow managed to keep its inherent warmth and feel-good quality going until the very end.

Choi Woong, Yeon Soo, and Jiwoong focused on healing old wounds, and came out on top. Although not one for the time-leap trope myself, I can’t deny the satisfaction I felt at the end, made possible through the two years of their lives that we received glimpses of.

Despite all the waterworks and involuntary smiles that the show put me through, ‘Our Beloved Summer’ feels like a close friend I’ll keep revisiting whenever in need of pure sunshine and soft comforting.

Add on a very lovely, very immersive OST, and this was pretty much drama catnip, for me.

Patience is not the ability to wait. Patience is to be calm no matter what happens, constantly take action to turn it to positive growth opportunities, and have faith to believe that it will all work out in the end while you are waiting.

Humans are the most superior creatures amid all the creatures in the entire universe. Being a part of this universe makes me feel small and minuscule in a world where there millions of humans like myself. Although everyone is quite unique in their own way. I try my best to be humble, kind and respectful of everybody I meet regardless of their age, gender, family background, nationality or race.

Life is full of ups and downs. I know this is a cliche, but this phrase summarizes my whole existence. Sometimes my life is fun, happy and almost enviable and at other times my life is boring, sad, uninspiring and sometimes downright disgusting. I know I am not perfect, I have never tried to be, but one thing is true – I AM WHO I AM.

If you cannot handle my worst, then you don't deserve my best. People tend to misjudge me as a sophisticated snob person.

I'm actually the opposite one. Some says I have a suplado-look that daunting. I'm not really suplado so it's reasonable to draw closer to me.

I'm a fragile person inside and indestructible out! I'm very unpredictable and moody. I appreciate the people who hate me and yet still remain so much interested at knowing about what's up with me 'cause those signs of insecurity only reaffirm that even in my downest down, they remain much lower than where I am. I may not be that close to perfection like other people do, but who cares?

I don't know who you are and who you will be
But I'm pretty sure you'll be a better version of me
Better enough to conquer all your fears
And tough enough not to tremble with tears.

My life's a mess right now, as you can see
Still searching for that missing piece of me.
I lose it even before the first time I open my eyes
And I intend to find it before I close it for the last sight.

I'm crying every night, if you don't know
Pouring my heart out with those tears I can't show
I always sleep at 12 AM please understand
Cause that's the most peaceful time I can ever had.

Future me, I hope you're not like me today
Don't pretend that you are okay.
Let them see your tears
Cast away all your fears.

I'm trying my best to come it all in handy
So please bear with me
I want to be a tough girl today but for now, let me be me
And I will let you be you someday.

Take care and be courageous enough
So when we'll meet, you'll be tough
Be a better version of me
Someone that I'm trying to be today.

See you soon!

Thank You, Haikyuu for all the memories  that are all embark in my life. Continue to gly and soar high. This is not just a mere sports anime, I learned lessons and all.

A thank you and farewell message to Karasuno team.

To Hinata,

You are my main, my source of excitement and joy. I have waited for your growth and now I'm finally happy that you're able to come this far. I have cried to your sad moments and screamed at your bests. I love you, my main.

To Kageyama,

To me, you are the best setter that can match with Hinata. Being his real friend through out those years made me realize that Hinata did not only found someone who can set balls to him, but also someone who will look up to him and be his competitor and supporter.

To Nishinoya,

You are the best libero for me. Your dedication to volleyball and your will to save any ball that was blocked always made me go crazy. I hope that you will be happy travelling around the globe and finding what you want and where your happiness is.

To Tsukishima,

You salty glasses guy! You're my bias wrecker! Your intelligence, calmness and skills made me love you. From being an "i-don't-want-to-upgrade" kind of guy, you became the "i-want-to-keep-up-with-them" kind. I love the way you changed, Tsukki.

To the manga Haikyuu,

You are one of those manga that made my weekend special, and the only sports manga that I have read in my entire life. You made me feel happy and sad at the same time, drained my energy due to excessive screaming and wheezing. Farewell, my paradise.
