			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A very cute song from <em><a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/chronicles_of_narnia_prince_caspian/">The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian</a></em>.  I hope this is not a spoiler, but I think the song pretty much sums up the whole movie :)</p>

<strong>The Call </strong>
Regina Spektor

It started out as a feeling which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder till it was a battle cry

I&#8217;ll come back when you call me, no need to say goodbye

Just because everything&#8217;s changing doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are as you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light

You&#8217;ll come back when it&#8217;s over, no need to say goodbye
You&#8217;ll come back when it&#8217;s over, no need to say goodbye

Now we&#8217;re back to the beginning, it&#8217;s just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can&#8217;t feel it too, doesn&#8217;t mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger till they&#8217;re before your eyes

You&#8217;ll come back when they call you, no need to say goodbye
You&#8217;ll come back when they call you, no need to say goodbye</blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A friend once told me that I am &#8211; without doubt &#8211; an introvert. And I kinda just swallow it, and accept that as my reality. Whenever people asked me about my personality, I answered &#8220;well,I&#8217;ve heard that I&#8217;m an introvert. True or not, you&#8217;ll be the judge&#8221;. But I cannot recall whether I ever <em>actually</em> did the <a href="http://equation.net/blog/2008/04/25/personality-test/" target="_blank">personality test</a>. Now here I am &#8211; 4 am in the morning &#8211; decided that I should at least give it a run before coming to that conclusion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It literally means &#8220;Peace on Earth&#8221;, a quote directly taken from <a href="http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_xxiii/encyclicals/documents/hf_j-xxiii_enc_11041963_pacem_en.html">one of Pope John XXIII&#8217;s papal encyclical</a> which came out during the 2nd Vatican Council. This great piece is obviously about peace, freedom and moral justice. In this current world &#8211; where many people become victims of wars, starvation and injustice &#8211; peace is one thing that we as human always dream and yearn. Some people argue that those things are unavoidable &#8211; we might say that <em>&#8220;well after all, we are human, nobody is perfect.&#8221;</em> But I think that&#8217;s why on this year papal mass, <a href="http://www.zenit.org/article-21388?l=english">Papa Benedict homily</a> once again asked us to try be closer with God&#8217;s heart, so that He can freely turn us into a better person, and slowly &#8211; we can all make this world a better place to live for humankind. Just let God be God :)</p>

<p>Kudos for RCTI and Indosiar for keep broadcasting the papal mass, keep up the good work! I don&#8217;t think that any public tv station in the states will air it. EWTN definitely has it, but come on, they are catholic channel. But I guess the circumstances are different for every country. Merry Christmas and peace on earth! <em>Selamat natal dan damai di bumi! </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy birthday to me&#8230;!</p>

<p>Thank you <em>everyone</em> for all the sms-es,  poke, wall-post, testimonials, phone calls, gifts, baloon (?) and of course the surprise party. You guys are awesome! Owh, and btw, I know that the bacardi&#8217;s effect to me was a little bit shocking, but no worry &#8211; I wasn&#8217;t drunk or anything. It just me and my &#8220;excellent blood flow&#8221; <em>excuse excuse</em> :p</p>

<p>I dunno what else to write now, so I think I&#8217;m just going to paste this lovely poem that I read yesterday. How should I fill the rest of my dash?</p>

<blockquote>The Dash
by <em><a href="http://www.lindaslyrics.com/">Linda Ellis</a></em>

I read of a man who stood to speak,
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
from the beginning &#8230; to the end.

He noted that first came the date of her birth
and spoke of the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all
was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time
that she spent alive on earth &#8230;
and now only those who loved her
know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own;
the cars &#8230; the house &#8230; the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard &#8230;
are there things you&#8217;d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left.
You could be at &#8220;dash mid-range.&#8221;

If we could just slow down enough
to consider what&#8217;s true and real,
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger,
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect,
and more often wear a smile &#8230;
remembering that this special dash
might only last a while.

So, when your eulogy&#8217;s being read
with your life&#8217;s actions to rehash &#8230;
will you be proud of the things they say
about how you spent your dash?</blockquote>
