Two Will Become Three

Allah always be the best planner.

I never imagined that I would met you and end up marrying you.
I never imagined that I would get someone as amazing as you to be my partner in life.
And I never imagined that He thought we will be ready this fast to become a responsible parent.

Dear my husband and father of my future baby,
I love you with all my heart, and I wish we can build samara family till the end of our life.

Let's get fun with the journey to parenthood!

At this week, I reach 7 week of my pregnancy. I still can't feel anything other than easier to feel tired. I hope I can get through this pregnancy well. And this will add one more label to my blog, "pregnancy" hehe 😀

Another One Third Has Passed (4)

One year is already passed. One year that I promised myself to be celibate. One year I let my ownself to grieve and mourn.

Some people who know about this maybe thinking that I am overreacting this. But, another group of people who really know about me, they'll know I lost one of the love I love the most.

Losing it makes me have to change some things in my life. I change the way I eat. I go workout. I try to walk around my city more often. I realize again that I can stand by my ownself. I don't take my friends' time to meet me for granted. I learn that things don't always turn the way I want it. I learn there are some broken things which can't always be fixed, and that's okay..

One year has passed and I am so relieved I can go through with it. I thank God and all people who helped me, giving so much support I need. I don't regret anything. I don't hate anyone in these process. I realize it's happened for the best for me.

Suropati Park Bench, the place where one year ago I found that fact

Over and over again, I have to learn to have peace with my ownself. That not getting what I want sometimes is a wonderful is a wonderful stroke of luck (quote by Dalai Lama). To have peace is not to forget we have feelings, but turning it off slowly by allowing ourselves to dive into those emotions. To experienced them fully and completely, so we know exactly how it feels and how to conquer it.


It's kind of funny if I look back to the previous writings about this One Third.

At August 2016 (link)
At December 2016 (link)
At March 2017 (link)

I hope I can always treasure this wonderful feeling somewhere in my heart. I hope I can always be friend with him, because for me, he is one of the important person who shaping the person I am until now. Seven one third years is not a short time. But now is the time for me to look forward to another future with someone else.. :")

See you when I see you..

Another One Third Has Passed (3)

Allah always doing His work in the most effectively way He knows about. We, as human, never really know what His plan on us. We only have to put our trust on Him that He always know what the best for us..

One year that I planned to be my mourning period, has got me into a lot of surprises. And thank God, they are beautiful and take me to a lot of people and journey. People who knows about the past moment I was into, and knows what the future will be (insyaallah aminnn) giving so much support I never imagined before.

I know I have thought about how the negative things will brought my life to. I know that I am doing it to protect my ownself from feeling disappointed again. But now I realized that He wants to show me that I still can have some things in life I dreamed before. He wants me to still have faith on Him. And I thank Him for that.. :")

Actually, I think I don't really need this kind of post again in the future. But I'll still write one more at June, to complete my one year mourning period journey. Then I will put one song for my gratitude to Him. I know this is a love song, but I think it's too much to point it to one person. So, I will present this song to Allah.. :")

Because You Loved Me
Performed by Celine Dion
Lyrics from www.azlyrics.com (link)

For all those times You stood by me
For all the truth that You made me see
For all the joy You brought to my life
For all the wrong that You made right
For every dream You made come true
For all the love I found in You
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz You believed
I'm everything I am
Because You loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, You gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had Your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day You gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by You

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because You loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining Your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies You were the truth
My world is a better place because of You

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz You believed
I'm everything I am
Because You loved me

I'm everything I am
Because You loved me

End of 2016

I have posted this photo and caption in my instagram. But I think it's okay to share it here too. Because I realize that instagram doesn't have good archieve, so it will be easier if I want to read it again if I posting it here.

---


Looking back to the moments in 2016 is like opening a menu in a restaurant. You start with the appetizer, hoping to fully your tummy with the main course, and ending it with sweet dessert.

The menu can be looked so nyummy and beautifly photographed, but after the waiter giving you the real food, you've got to admit sometimes you have higher expectation than the reality. And it starting to make you feel disappointed in life.

I have some new resolutions to achieve in 2017, which I will post tomorrow here. But mainly, I want to grow up to be a more matured person. To have no expectation, so I will be grateful for everything happened in my life. To feel I am a complete person, with or without anyone else in my life. To focus in my own life, not worrying so much about anyone else who has no intention with me. To let people come and go in my life with a smile. Because I know God knows the best for me :)

Thank you for all the people who gives my 2016 a lot of colourful memory. From the pinkish cheks, to the darker eye bags. Hope we can maintain it better in 2017.

Happy new year, guys :)

2016 Best Nine from My Instagram

One of my favourite social media, instagram!

I start using it from August 2015. I am focusing on food and flower post. I use camera from handphone Samsung S3, then Samsung S6. I hope I can buy a "real" camera to make more proper photograph. I think I will try to save up some money to but a mirrorless camera. It's gonna be one of my 2017 resolution :)

And these are my 2015 and 2016 best nine photos in instagram. I am making it from website 2015bestnine.com and 2016bestnine.com (link). The web picks photos with the most likes as the best. Eventhough it's not always showing the best in our heart :)



2016 will be over soon. Do you feel 2016 is going too fast?

Another One Third Has Passed (2)

So if you knew, with indisputable certainty, that love was never going to be yours, how would you live your life differently? What about your daily routine would you alter? What about your long-term plans?


Your first inclination may be to say "Nothing." After all, you’re a smart person. You have plans that don’t involve someone else’s influence.

The idea that someday somebody will love all our flaws is a subtle excuse not to work on them. The principle of two halves making a whole restrains us from becoming our own better half. We want someone to swoop in during our darkest hour and save us, but what if we knew they never would? We’d have to start doing everything differently.

If you knew that love would never be an option for you, what would be? How would you structure the rest of your life? Would it have a heavier focus on career, a stronger inclination toward success? Or would you use the time to invest in yourself — go on a few more vacations, travel further outside your comfort zone? If you knew that you would never again feel the rush of budding romance, where would you turn to for your thrills? How would you get your blood pumping?

And what about your other relationships — would they suddenly take on more weight? Would you spend more time appreciating your family, if you knew that they are the people who will have loved you the most strongly at the end of your life? What about your friendships? Would you nurture and care more for the people who love you platonically if you knew that nobody would ever love you romantically? Would you show up a little more often, share a little more of your life?

Without the fear of ending up alone, the opportunities open to you would become endless. You could live on every continent. You could scale the corporate ladder. You could go back to school and get that degree you’ve always felt interested in, without worrying about the financial burden your debt may place on somebody else. Love holds us back in an infinite amount of subtle ways that perhaps we do not even realize. And the guarantee of its absence may just be the ultimate sense of liberation.

Because if we didn’t have to search for the love of our lives, we would finally be free to realize that we are allowed to be the loves of our own. That we can spend our lives developing ourselves, challenging ourselves, pampering ourselves and building ourselves up to be bigger, more capable people than we ever once hoped to become. We could become everything we’ve been searching for. We could construct our soul mates in ourselves.


If there’s one thing we all need to stop doing, it’s waiting around for someone else to show up and change our lives. Just be the person you’ve been waiting for. Live your life as if you are the love of it. Because that’s the only thing you know for sure — that through every triumph, every failure, every fear and every gain that you will ever experience until the day you die, you are going to be present.

You are going to be the person who shows up to accept your rewards. You are going to be the person who holds your own hand when you’re broken. You are going to be the person who gets yourself up off the floor every time you get knocked down and if those things are not love-of-your-life qualities, I don’t know what are.

We have to start appreciating all that we bring to our own lives. Because the ironic truth is, you are most attractive when you’re not worried about who you’re attracting.

So stop looking for The One to spend the rest of your life with. Be The One.

That is more important.


Alfred: I'll get this to Mr. Fox, but no more. I've sewn you up, I've set your bones, but I won't bury you. I've buried enough members of the Wayne family. 

Bruce Wayne: You'll leave me? 

Alfred: You see only one end to your journey. Leaving is all I have to make you understand, you're not Batman anymore. You have to find another way. You used to talk about finishing a life beyond that awful cape. 

Bruce Wayne: Rachel died believing that we would be together; that was my life beyond the cape. I can't just move on. She didn't, she couldn't. 

Alfred: What if she had? What if, before she died, she wrote a letter saying she chose Harvey Dent over you? And what if, to spare your pain, I burnt that letter? 

Bruce Wayne: How dare you use Rachel to try to stop me? 

Alfred: I am using the truth, Master Wayne. Maybe it's time we all stop trying to outsmart the truth and let it have its day. I'm sorry. 

Bruce Wayne: You're sorry? You expect to destroy my world and then think we're going to shake hands? 

Alfred: No... no, I know what this means. 

Bruce Wayne: What does it mean? 

Alfred: It means your hatred... and it also means losing someone that I have cared for since I first heard his cries echo through this house. But it might also mean saving your life. And that is more important. 

Bruce Wayne: Goodbye, Alfred.

When The Person You Love Doesn't Love You

Another copy-paste article. This one is from https://www.psychologytoday.com (link). It's quite a long article. So I make it the "continue reading" option if you really want to read it :)

I always think that psychology is one thing I want to study in university. Up until now, I can't make it. So I think it will be better if I follow @PsychToday twitter account (link) to read about psychology more often.

It turns out some articles are sound soo cheesy, but they are written in a good and motivational way, so it makes me want to read it more and more. This one is no exception. Especially for you who arrive in this blog post by google search :)

I have shared in previous post that my friend have fed up with my stories. But reading thing article and comment section in the original web (link) makes me realize that I am not alone in this kind of problem. A lot of people experienced the same. But they don't talk about it loudly in public. The choose a safe place by using anonymous account. Still we can learn from their story.

Last but not least, let's be better together, by sharing and empowering each other. Don't let anyone belittled you. Because you are important, even without them.

Be strong :)

I just think this article has some good advices and worth to read. Maybe there are other people in the world who need this kind of reading material to strength up their kind heart :)

Don't Feel Bad For Me If I Do Things Alone

I copy this article from https://brightside.me (link). Before the 7 one third, I nearly always go to places and doing activities alone. Now I am doing it again. Of course because I am going alone I don't go to many places. Just inside my town. 

I dream someday I can go to more and further places on my own. Hoping I can find the right time with the right amount of money to do it, hehe :D

----------

Don't Feel Bad For Me If I Do Things Alone

I was discussing prospective travel plans with a group of people the other day when one of them, after expressing her interest in visiting Lyon, remarked, ’But I have to find someone to go with  -  I’m not going to travel there by myself. Nobody wants to do that.’

This statement started a train of thought on which I had embarked many times before:

Why is it still seen as socially unacceptable to do things by yourself? And why is it always presumed that people don’t want to do things alone?


Well. I do understand where people of these opinions are coming from: we, as human beings, are social beings. It is only natural that we want to share in our experiences with others. Socializing and conversing are how we forge friendships and ultimately help each other grow.

However, it baffles me as to why the idea that someone wants to do something alone is so bizarre to some people. Sure  -  by societal norms, activities such as eating out or seeing a movie are viewed as social activities to be enjoyed with others. It’s standard of behavior and human tendency that we seek to do these things with people. But seeing someone out and about on their own doesn’t equate to him or her being lonely, or having no friends.

More importantly, I think we are perfectly entitled to simply not be in the mood to entertain someone throughout an activity, or socialize in general. Throughout the day, we’re invariably staring at screens of all shapes and sizes, and being bombarded with stimuli through them. On top of that, we must make real human interactions with handfuls of people on a daily basis. It grows exhausting, whether one is an introvert or extrovert.

But who is to say that ’me’ time is only in the confines of one’s home, in the form of a pantsless Sunday spent watching Netflix and binging on pizza? Why is doing that alone acceptable anyway, but not going outside and doing something in town? Lunching solo at a cafe or laying on the beach is equally rewarding as ’me’ time. Time spent by myself is time spent alone with my thoughts, which I relish in a world of distraction. Once alone, I have the opportunity to ponder over matters to which I have been meaning to devote mental attention  -  or to think about nothing at all, and simply appreciate the present moment.

I suppose that’s another explanation for why doing things alone has a social stigma. We tend to project our own tendencies onto others, particularly in situations we view negatively; and I find that the people with the greatest aversion to doing things alone   are the ones who cannot be in solitude with their minds.

Being alone with your mind, however, is one of the best things for your soul.

That is one of the greatest pleasures I find in doing things alone. Another is, of course, the freedom to operate on your own schedule. This liberty is why I enjoy solo shopping and can appreciate traveling alone so much.

But traveling alone? Doesn’t it get a little solitary? Well, yes . One of the greatest joys of travel is reveling in the presence of awesome history or art with someone, and I definitely find myself wishing I had a friend with me at times; seeing what I’m seeing, eating what I’m eating, discussing our experiences. It’s nice to have someone there with you sharing that ephemeral moment that cannot be recreated.

Which leads me to my following point  -  despite all that, I am determined to not let such factors impede me from doing what I want and what speaks to me, and you shouldn’t either. If you truly want to do something, why should the prospect of doing it alone be an obstacle to your will? In the end, the connection you have with that object or goal is the most important.

This isn’t all with the aim to denigrate people who don’t like being alone, or make the statement that such people have no substance. To each his own. But satisfaction ultimately lies in the substance of an activity and if that is what you’re really after, then go for it. And all those people you think are judging you...they likely are, given the stigma of doing things alone, but what does that matter in the grand scheme of things?

Doing things alone eventually begins to dissipate the feeling of self-consciousness in public places, and fosters self-awareness instead. It takes a degree of confidence and initiative to do things solo, of which you should be proud.

Finally 0

It takes 5 months, losing 13 kgs, some good friends, some loner trips in the town, some sleepless nights, a lot of crying moments, to finally reach this 0 counter.

I think I have written a post with 0 as the title earlier. But it turns out so cheesy I revert it to draft again, haha. And I know at that time, I still in my mourning period, so this post deserve the 0 title more :)

I realize I have found peace again in my heart when I know that I am no longer being an important person in his life. The no-communication-at-all-to-forget is real. At first I believe when he said he still wants to be friend with me. But of course it is so different communicate with person you love and now just being a friend, right?

Now I am at the stage to searching again the purpose in my life. I believe happiness is start within my ownself. Not from my relationship, my job, or my money. It's a state of mind.

Let's be happy :)

Staying True to Your Ownself

Staying true to myself often makes people see me as a weak person.

But I know the best for my ownself. I am the girl who doesn't feel afraid to dive into emotion I felt. I am the girl who likes to learn about what my feelings will do to me. I am the girl who doesn't matter knowing how emotion will hurt and break me.

I know denial won't make me learn. I know denial won't make me knowing how I am gonna react to these kind of emotions. I know denial won't make me realize how I am gonna find the solution.

As an introvert and intrapersonal person, my favourite time now is discussing my day, my problem, and what I feel with my ownself and God. I let my imaginary friend appear. I let my prayer time becomes so important. Because I know some people have fed up with my stories, haha. And nobody really cared about it :)

I am happy and in the process to being okay :)


Don't lie to your ownself, dear.

Face the fear and doubt you have. Let it goes to your heart. Feel it. Feel it all. Feel it and understand it. Feel it and slowly you'll find the cure :")

Another One Third Has Passed

Another one third has passed after the seven one third event end. All of my friends who knows about this story telling me to stop. I want to stop. I really want to stop. But there's still feelings attached to me. I hate that. I hate that feelings. I hate that feelings can break my routines. I hate I can't really do anything to stop it. I can't show it, I don't know how to express it, except with crying. And I can't cry freely too. I have to search the proper time and some places that people who see me cry can think that I am still normal and don't have to asking me or worrying about it.

Move on always become one of the hardest part in my life. I did it several times. It got me some years to really forget about how I really care about one person.

I promise myself not to tell this kind of story in my public blog. Mostly because I don't want anyone to ask if I am okay. I am not okay, there you go fellas. But I try my best to let go. Really. Bear with me. I know when one door closed, another one will open. I know rainbow always come after the rain. I know happiness awaits for me. I know I still have a lot of other things to do and to take care of. I know I still have some people who care about me.

I just need some more time to passed..

I Hate U I Love U
By Gnash feat Olivia O'Brien




[Verse 1 - Olivia O'Brien:]
Feeling used
But I'm
Still missing you
And I can't
See the end of this
Just wanna feel your kiss
Against my lips
And now all this time
Is passing by
But I still can't seem to tell you why
It hurts me every time I see you
Realize how much I need you

[Chorus - Olivia O'Brien:]
I hate you, I love you,
I hate that I love you
Don't want to but I can't put nobody else above you
I hate you, I love you,
I hate that I want you
You want her, you need her
And I'll never be her

[Verse 2 - Gnash:]
I miss you when I can't sleep
Or right after coffee
Or right when I can't eat
I miss you in my front seat
Still got sand in my sweaters
From nights we don't remember
Do you miss me like I miss you?
Fucked around and got attached to you
Friends can break your heart too,
And I'm always tired but never of you
If I pulled a you on you, you wouldn't like that shit
I put this reel out, but you wouldn't bite that shit
I type a text but then I never mind that shit
I got these feelings but you never mind that shit
Oh oh, keep it on the low
You're still in love with me but your friends don't know
If you wanted me you would just say so
And if I were you, I would never let me go

[Radio version's additional chorus - Olivia O'Brien:]
I hate you, I love you,
I hate that I love you
Don't want to but I can't put nobody else above you
I hate you, I love you,
I hate that I want you
You want her, you need her
And I'll never be her

[Verse 3 - Gnash:]
I don't mean no harm
I just miss you on my arm
Wedding bells were just alarms
Caution tape around my heart
You ever wonder what we could have been?
You said you wouldn't and you fucking did
Lie to me, lie with me, get your fucking fix
Now all my drinks and all my feelings are all fucking mixed
Always missing people that I shouldn't be missing
Sometimes you gotta burn some bridges just to create some distance
I know that I control my thoughts and I should stop reminiscing
But I learned from my dad that it's good to have feelings
When love and trust are gone
I guess this is moving on
Everyone I do right does me wrong
So every lonely night I sing this song

[Chorus - Olivia O'Brien and Gnash:]
I hate you, I love you,
I hate that I love you
Don't want to but I can't put nobody else above you
I hate you, I love you,
I hate that I want you
You want her, you need her
And I'll never be her

[Bridge - Olivia O' Brien and Gnash:]
All alone I watch you watch her
Like she's the only girl you've ever seen
You don't care you never did
You don't give a damn about me
Yeah all alone I watch you watch her
She is the only thing you ever see
How is it you never notice
That you are slowly killing me

[Chorus - Olivia O'Brien:]
I hate you, I love you,
I hate that I love you
Don't want to but I can't put nobody else above you
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I want you
You want her, you need her
And I'll never be her

Tone Down

I nearly always so excited when I do my job which is teaching until one of my student saying this..

"Am I so stupid that you always cheering so excitedly when I can answer your question?"

Makes me think that I have to tone down my excitement and thinking that this job is boring af that I can't be so happy about your learning success. Thank you my lovely student..

7

I heard some stories about relationship issue in the past years, and I am proud we have conquered some of it very well. I love that our relationship have grown to be a mature one. I love that we struggling to keep us together in good time and try to solve the bad time quickly (with a clear solution, of course). I love that we hardly ever feel bored with each other. I love that I have met you and still be with you until now :)


Last but not least, like Clean Bandit sings,

"When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be.."

Happy 7 ya Mas Buncit. I hope 7 will be our lucky number, amin.. :))

If Your Girlfriend Doesn't Argue With You, She Probably Doesn't Love You

When a woman loves you, she'll fight for you, even if it seems like she's fighting against you. When a woman doesn't care, though, she'll save her breath.

Why fight with someone you don't care about? Why fight with someone you don't want to be with? Why waste the time and the tears for an argument you don't care about winning? Why try and help someone whose texts you're not sure you'll even respond to next week?

A woman only says things because she wants you to hear them. She's talking to you for a reason, and that reason is usually for your own good. When a woman doesn't care, she'll have no problem watching you drown in your own mistakes.

If Your Girlfriend Doesn't Argue With You, She Probably Doesn't Love You by Lauren Martin

Whimsy Need Change

Hello!

I think this is the time I am gonna change my blog template. So pardon my blog messiness in the future in order to find the right way to set this blog. If I think the new template doesn't work, I will go back with the Whimsy template.

Screen shot for Whimsy

I use new template from www.btemplates.com (link). I want a clean and simple template, just like Whimsy. Whimsy is great, but for me, the font is too small. I know I just have to change the font size, but I think I have to change the width also. And I don't know how to change the CSS code. I have tried and failed haha. So I decide I need a new one. 

Now I will try the Mad template (link). Not because I mad of course, but it has the quality I want. Well, it contains only black and white colour. Different with Whimsy who has a pink and sweet little pictures in header and sidebar. I hope I can colour the new Mad template as good as the Whimsy :)

Wish me luck!

Going to Books and Beyond Pacific Place in 160815

Sunday, August 16th 2015, I go to Books and Beyonds in Pacific Place, Jakarta. It was unintentionally, I go there because I have to wait Mas Ndut meeting with his colleagues (yes, he has meeting on SUNDAY! Ha ha). The bookstore is not too big, but it is comfortable. The books they have mostly imported from another country.



This rack of self development books is catching the most of my attention. Maybe it's because I don't know what kind of novel is good for me right now, and this kind of self development books usually match whoever need to motivate their life.


I have seen this series of "Big Ideas Simply Explained" several times in some book stores. The book explain about psychology, economics, philosophy, science, and religion in easy way and a lot of pictures. I would love to have all of the books, but it's pricey so I choose not to buy now, huhu.

Then I arrived to section about adult's coloring books. 


I think this book is perfect for adult who wants to get rid their stress and need to find their inner child enthusiasm to light up their life. The book is so interesting and I almost buy it. Luckily I have a chance to take a sneak peak and realize that the author is making the picture so detailed. I am a little bit worried I become lazy and not doing this book in the future, hahah. Beside the book is quite expensive too. If you want to know what adult's coloring book looks like, you can get it for free in here (link).


In the previous paragraph, I write that I don't have the interest to go to the novel section. Well, the fact is I still have the interest, when I see these Harry Potter book, hahah :'D. I already have one set of 7 Harry Potter books. But seeing this Harry Potter novel with new cover still makes me want to buy them, ckck.


Books and Beyond also have a unique program which called "Blind Date with A Book". They let you buy three books which have the same theme like Children Activity, Sport, Romance, etc, for Rp159.000,00. This program is good for people that likes to judge a book by its cover :P

So, after walking around this tiny but lovely bookstore, I choose to buy this book.


It's called "Q&A a Day for Me". It's a 3 year journal that have 365 daily questions and 3 columns for us to write the answer. Question like,

"Books I couldn't put down.."
"Who is your favourite teacher?"
"What would you do if you have a magic wand?"
Etc.

I think this book has an amazing ideas to light up my everyday routines with ordinary question which sometimes makes me think about how my life is going on. But I have to really focus to keep writing and keep this book to see how much I change through the entire 3 years. Let's see if I can keep this book and patiently writing in it :D

The funny things come in the end when I pay the book. So, Books and Beyond give 17% off for any book you purchase until August 31st 2015. The discount is to commemorate Indonesia independence day. And the amount of price I have to pay is



Rp178.450,00!

I really check to the cashier twice that they are not making this purposely because tomorrow is Indonesia independence day. But no, I just get lucky they said :))

Lava Song from Lava Movie Opening Inside Out

After "Love is an Open Door" song from Frozen (link), this "Lava" song become my next favourite lovable song from animation movie. This song become original soundtrack for movie which have the same title as the song, "Lava". "Lava" is the short opening movie for Pixar's 3D Inside Out.

Uku, the mountain who dreamed about another mountain 
to be in lava with him 

You will enjoy the song more if you can watch the movie too. The movie have unique plot about a mountain who wish he had another mountain to be in lava with him. Well, you realize the creator using a pun because they use lava instead of love, because the main character is a mountain, haha. But still, they are making this movie so good making me teared up watching it :')

You can read more the backstory about the song and movie in here (link).

Well, let's sing this song together! :))



Lava

Performed by Kuana Torres Kahele and Napua Greg (vocal), James Ford Murphy (ukulele)

A long, long time ago 
There was a volcano 
Living all alone, in the middle of the sea 

He sat high above his bay 
Watching all the couples play 
And wishing that, he had someone too 

And from his lava came, this song of hope, that he sang out loud 
Everyday, for years and years 

I have a dream, I hope will come true 
That you're here with me, and I'm here with you 
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above 
Will send me someone to lava 
  
Years of singing all alone, turned his lava into stone 
Until, he was on the brink of extinction 
But little did he know, that living in the sea below 
Another volcano was listening to his song 
  
Everyday she heard his tune, her lava grew and grew 
Because, she believed, his song was meant for her 
Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea 
As he sang his song of hope for the last time 

I have a dream, I hope will come true 
That you're here with me, and I'm here with you 
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above 
Will send me someone to lava 

Rising from the sea below, stood a lovely volcano 
Looking all around but she could not see him 
He tried to sing to let her know that she was not, there alone 
But with no lava his song was so gone 

He filled the sea, with his tears and watched his dreams, disappear 
As she, remembered what his song meant to her 

I have a dream, I hope will come true 
That you're here with me, and I'm here with you 
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above 
Will send me someone to lava 

Oh they were so happy to finally meet above the sea 
All together now, their lava grew and grew 
The longer are they all alone, with aloha as their new home 
And when you visit them, this is what they sing 

I have a dream, I hope will come true 
That you'll grow old with me, and I'll grow old with you 
We thank the earth, sea, the sky we've been to 
I lava you I lava you I lava you
