I'm a simple girl with a li'l dream, of seeing her humble works in exquisite print, to share with all who feels for words, written with
an unsupressable urge. So indugle in my fantasies, and plow your way through my memories, greatly appreciated you will be,
if you can leave your comments here for me.

ladies & gentlemen, this is my song


Artwork by ~Blinnie

I was surfing the world wide web when I came across this guy named Jerry Herman who wrote a song called "I Am What I Am".

Sweet.

His lyrics are pretty apt - and maybe I am bias, but it does speaks of how I feel and how I view my life. Unfortunately I do not know how it sounds like, and some parts seem a bit gay. But what the heck. Enjoy.

I AM WHAT I AM

I am what I am, I am my own special creation
So come take a look, give me the hook or the ovation
It's my world that I want to have a little pride in
My world and it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say, hey world
I am what I am

I am what I am, I don't want praise I don't want pity
I bang my own drum, some think it's noise I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each feather and each spangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham 'til you can shout out loud
I am what I am

I am what I am and what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces
There's one life and there's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say, hey world
I am what I am

I go a step further than you, when people ask me who I am, I reply, "I am me" - except when I was despondent, then I wasn't sure who I was, but I am back to being myself these days.

You're a wicked man.
Wicked?
You have no values.
Different values!
You won't be helped.
Destroyed!
You want to spoil things.
I won't be a goldfish in a bowl!

Hi Elvina,

Long time never write any comment in your blog, but rest assured that I do drop by every now and then. But to be safe, thought of just a drop a short note to say 'Hi'.

Hope all is well for you.

Cheers!
