Panic At The Disco -- Nine In The Afternoon

Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can, you know
Yeah we're feeling so good

Pickin’ up things we shouldn’t read
It looks like the end of history as we know
It’s just the end of the world

Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love, you could, you can

Into a place where thoughts can bloom
Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon
And we know that it could be
And we know that it should
And you know that you feel it too
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon

And your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good

Back to the street
Down to our feet
Losing the feeling of feeling unique
Do you know what I mean?

Back to the place
Where we used to say
Man it feels good to feel this way
Now I know what I mean

Back to the street, back to the place,
Back to the room where it all began, hey
Back to the room where it all began
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

Because he knew that the fish that take the bait was a big fish. After a while he just let his tools pulled away by fish, then he snatched the tools, and there was a big fish hanging on his tools fishing. Quickly, the fish was brought to the ground so it was not run away. When he wanted to release his fishhook, the fish was staring at him. After the fish was placed in some area, then the farmer went to the deep river to take a bath. He was very happy because he never got the fish with that big. He went home and brought the fish to the kitchen. When he wanted to set the fire to toast the fish, apparently, the woods were out. He went out to find the woods from his house.

History and custom of Halloween


Halloween is an annual celebration, but just what is it actually a celebration of? And how did this peculiar custom originate? Is it, as some claim, a kind of demon worship? Or is it just a harmless vestige of some ancient pagan ritual?

The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year.

One story says that, on that day, the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. It was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife. The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time, allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living.

Naturally, the still-living did not want to be possessed. So on the night of October 31, villagers would extinguish the fires in their homes, to make them cold and undesirable. They would then dress up in all manner of ghoulish costumes and noisily paraded around the neighborhood, being as destructive as possible in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to possess.
Probably a better explanation of why the Celts extinguished their fires was not to discourage spirit possession, but so that all the Celtic tribes could relight their fires from a common source, the Druidic fire that was kept burning in the Middle of Ireland, at Usinach.

Some accounts tell of how the Celts would burn someone at the stake who was thought to have already been possessed, as sort of a lesson to the spirits. Other accounts of Celtic history debunk these stories as myth.

The Romans adopted the Celtic practices as their own. But in the first century AD, Samhain was assimilated into celebrations of some of the other Roman traditions that took place in October, such as their day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple, which might explain the origin of our modern tradition of bobbing for apples on Halloween.

The thrust of the practices also changed over time to become more ritualized. As belief in spirit possession waned, the practice of dressing up like hobgoblins, ghosts, and witches took on a more ceremonial role.

The custom of Halloween was brought to America in the 1840's by Irish immigrants fleeing their country's potato famine. At that time, the favorite pranks in New England included tipping over outhouses and unhinging fence gates.
The custom of trick-or-treating is thought to have originated not with the Irish Celts, but with a ninth-century European custom called souling. On November 2, All Souls Day, early Christians would walk from village to village begging for "soul cakes," made out of square pieces of bread with currants. The more soul cakes the beggars would receive, the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of the donors. At the time, it was believed that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death, and that prayer, even by strangers, could expedite a soul's passage to heaven.

The Jack-o-lantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the tree's trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree.

According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.

The Irish used turnips as their "Jack's lanterns" originally. But when the immigrants came to America, they found that pumpkins were far more plentiful than turnips. So the Jack-O-Lantern in America was a hollowed-out pumpkin, lit with an ember.

So, although some cults may have adopted Halloween as their favorite "holiday," the day itself did not grow out of evil practices. It grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a new year, and out of Medieval prayer rituals of Europeans. And today, even many churches have Halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for the kids. After all, the day itself is only as evil as one cares to make it.

Snow White

One day, however, the Magic Mirror informs the queen that Snow White, despite her rags, is now the fairest in the land. In addition, the queen observes the arrival of a prince, who serenades the young girl as she gathers water from a well to scrub the grounds. These events fuel the queen's jealousy, and she orders her huntsman to take Snow White into the woods and kill her. As proof, the queen requires the huntsman to bring back the dead girl's heart in a jeweled box. The kind-hearted huntsman cannot go through with the act, and urges Snow White to flee into the woods and never come back.

The frightened princess finds herself lost in the woods, and terrified by luminous glowing eyes peering from within the trees and the brush. These turn out to be the eyes of friendly woodland creatures, who befriend Snow White and lead her to a cottage deep in the forest. Finding seven small chairs in the cottage's dining room, Snow White assumes the cottage is the home of seven children—"Seven untidy children," she notes as she finds the cottage in disarray. The princess and the animals band together and clean the cottage, hoping that the good deed will convince the children to let Snow White stay with them.
The woodland cottage belongs not to seven children but to seven adult dwarfs who spend their days working in a nearby diamond mine. Upon returning home at the end of the working day, they are alarmed to find their cottage clean, and surmise that a monstrous intruder has invaded their home. The dwarfs discover Snow White upstairs, asleep in their beds. The princess introduces herself, and the dwarfs, save for one aptly named Grumpy, are pleased to welcome her as a house guest, particularly when they learn she can cook and has prepared dinner. They are less pleased, however, at Snow White's insistence that they wash up before eating, something they've never done and only do after much apprehension.

Meanwhile, the huntsman has returned to the castle and delivered the Queen what she assumes to be Snow White's heart. However, the magic mirror informs the Queen that Snow White is in the care of the seven dwarfs, and that the huntsman has actually given the Queen a pig's heart. The enraged Queen descends to a secret laboratory, where she practices witchcraft. Using her potions and spells, the Queen disguises herself as an ugly old hag and prepares a poisoned apple to place Snow White in an eternal state of repose called, The Sleeping Death.

The next morning, the dwarfs head out for the diamond mine, warning Snow White to beware of the evil Queen. However, the Queen's disguise is so convincing that Snow White is neither alarmed nor alert when the she arrives at the dwarfs' cottage, pretending to be an apple peddler. The Queen offers Snow White the poisoned apple, claiming it to be a magic wishing apple. Snow White's animal friends are not as easily convinced, and rush off to warn the dwarfs. While they are gone, however, Snow White takes a bite out of the apple, and falls to the floor, seemingly dead. A storm starts up outside, as the ugly old hag cackles, "Now I'll be fairest in the land!"
The dwarfs arrive, riding deer, just in time to catch the Queen fleeing from the cottage. The dwarfs chase the hag through the raging storm, following her up the side of a mountain and trapping her at the edge of a jagged cliff. Desperate to rid herself of the dwarfs, the Queen attempts to push a boulder down the mountainside and onto them. However, a bolt of lightning strikes the edge of the cliff where she stands, causing her to fall into the chasm below as the boulder she had tried to push onto the dwarfs rolls backwards to crush her.

Despite having done away with the Queen, the dwarfs return to their cottage and find Snow White seemingly dead. They cannot bear to bury her, and instead build for her a glass coffin trimmed with gold in a clearing in the forest. The dwarfs and the woodland creatures keep watch over Snow White through the autumn, winter, and spring.

One day, the prince, who had been searching all over for the princess, learns of her plight and comes to visit the coffin. Captivated by her beauty, he approaches the coffin and kisses Snow White, restoring her to life with, "Love's first kiss"—the only cure for the sleeping death. The dwarfs and animals all rejoice, and tearfully say good-bye to Snow White as she and the prince ride off into the sunset to his castle, where they live happily ever after.

Simply Red — If you don’t know me by now

If you don’t know me by now
You will never never never know me

All the things
That we’ve been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain’t gonna do nothing
To break up our happy home
Don’t get so excited
When I come home
A little late at night
Cos we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight

If you don’t know me by now
You will never never never know me

We’ve all got our
Own funny moods
I’ve got mine,
Woman you’ve got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we’ve been together
It should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can’t see eye to eye

If you don’t know me by now
You will never
Never never know me

pretty but cold and frozen

Dia cantik tapi dingin.

Aku melihat bungsunya, rasanya tak tega mata ini menatapnya, aku tahu walau dia terlihat tegar, senyumnya masih tersungging, masih bisa berkata “biarlah nduk, mungkin begini yang terbaik daripada sakit terus”, aku tahu benar dia sakit, dialah yang tahu benar rasa sakit ditinggalkannya.

Tuhan aku hanya ingin dia bahagia di sana, dan Kau juga membuat keluarganya semakin rukun, janganlah ada perpecahan lagi.



I always needed time on my own

I never thought I’d need you there when I cry

And the days feel like years when I’m alone

And the bed where you lie is made up on your side



When you’re gone

The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you’re gone

The face I came to know is missing too

When you’re gone

The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok

I miss you



I’ve never felt this way before

Everything that I do reminds me of u
