【洪】ILHONG's Words

Haha, Isn't she lovely?
I found this photo while just surfing...
This makes me think of my little cousins in Korea...

The fact that I am eldest in mother-side family gave me chance to babysit almost all my little cousins. They are all big (oh yeah, how old am I...) now, but this makes me reminisce such fune times...

I do not want to define what I just did while taking a break from studying...

I ran through cyworld profiles, or so-called mini-hompages of my korean friends...

Well, most of them are long lost friends to me, sad to say. I do not mean to offend - although it won't be as much as you think because there is virtually and apparently no contact among us - but I have hard time remembering most of them.

Anyway, I still can contact some of my closest friends, but I just don't...

Oh yeah, I am just pathetic and mean... I don't think I was stalking... I was going through my friends' photos they posted for the public... But it feels just like that, somehow...

There are a few friends...well, actually only three, I think, friends I have on my MSN Messenger list... I do know email addresses of some, however, I just don't find myself sending emails or hinting a chat in MSN.

It's just sad, as some of my close friends here in the Philippines would like to say... and I know it is... It's just sad...

However, I do not feel the necessity of such commitment for connection to them either, I just feel something empty and it ends here. But, everyone who knows me knows that I do not use others in means to ends... Sigh...

Oh yes, only sighing I can do now...

The sun has risen already... I didn't sleep, and didn't study much despite of giving all my attention to this vocabulary book... Now, I am getting more and more perturbed... I should be preoccupied with my studies for GRE than anything right now... Sigh...

Oh yes, Sigh...

As many other songs of Guns N' Roses, the words sound simple... However, as many other songs of GNR, this song has killer melody...

At first, I didn't know that this song was composed and written by Izzy Stradlin, the rhythm guitarist. I expected it to be from Axle Rose, because it was so nice...

I only thought that good songs from Guns N' Roses are fast tempered songs like "Welcome to the Jungle"... However, I gave a try to other Guns N' Roses songs when Jun Seob-Hyung was vising me in Davao, and when Uncle Dong Ho bought Guns N' Roses Live Era '88-'93...

I fell for their ballad songs like November Rain, Knocking on Heaven's Door, and Don't Cry... Most of people love November Rain and Knocking on Heaven's Door most... I do, too. However, I could not stop listening from "Don't Cry" over and over again...

I usually judge a song through both lyrics and melody, however, they deep cry of Axle Rose while repeating "don't cry" is irresistable, inexplicably beautiful.

Oh yes, I won't cry when you sing it on my ears~~
