When best is not good enough

Sometimes, hard work doesn't pay off.

You can grind for hours, stress for days; straining and pushing yourself to the limit. You can work non-stop without any rest until you get physically, mentally and emotionally tired. You become drained of all the energy you could fight with.

However, all these drops of blood and sweat do not guarantee a good return. In fact, in some cases, nothing is given for your effort. You can try as hard as you can, do everything that you can come up with and give it your all. Despite of everything that you've done, you might still fail. Accomplishing nothing, getting nothing, succeeding at nothing.

All the hard work, all the struggles, all the pain, all the effort. They all seem to go down the drain.

Sometimes, trying your best is just not good enough.

Longest Time

Woah, Oh, Oh, Oh (The longest)

For the longest time (Time)

Woah, Oh, Oh, Oh (The longest)

For the longest

If you said goodbye to me tonight

There would still be music left to write

What else could I do,

I'm so inspired by you

That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone

Now I know that happiness goes on

I'll take my chances

I forgot how nice romance is

I haven't been there for the longest time

Woah, Oh, Oh, Oh (The longest)

For the longest time (Time)

Woah, Oh, Oh, Oh (The longest)

For the longest

I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall

And the greatest miracle of all

Is how I need you,

and how you needed me too

That hasn't happened for the longest time

Maybe this won't last very long

But you feel so right

And I could be wrong

Maybe I've been hoping too hard

But I've gone this far

And it's more than I'd hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on

Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone

I'll take my chances, I forgot how nice romance is

I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start

I said to myself, hold on to your heart

Now I know the woman that you are

You're wonderful so far

And it's more than I'd hoped for

I don't care what consequence it brings

I have been a fool for lesser things

I want you so bad,

I think you ought to know that

I intend to hold you for the longest time

Woah, Oh, Oh, Oh (The longest)

For the longest time

Woah, Oh, Oh, Oh (The longest)

For the longest time

Woah, Oh, Oh, Oh (It's time) (The longest)

For the longest time

Woah, Oh, Oh, Oh (The longest)

For the longest time

Music speaks what words cannot express

Just another rainy day

It's just another rainy day.

Irresistible

Don't try to make me stay

Or ask if I'm okay

I don't have the answer

Don't make me stay the night

Or ask if I'm alright

I don't have the answer

Heartache doesn't last forever

I'll say I'm fine

Midnight ain't no time for laughing

When you say goodbye

It makes your lips so kissable

And your kiss unmissable

Your fingertips so touchable

And your eyes irresistible

I've tried to ask myself

Should I see someone else?

I wish I knew the answer

But I know, if I go now, if I leave

Then I'm on my own tonight

I'll never know the answer.

Midnight doesn't last forever

Dark turns to light

Heartache flips my world around

I'm falling down, down, down,

That's why

I find your lips so kissable

And your kiss unmissable

Your fingertips so touchable

And your eyes irresistible

Irresistible

(Irresistible)

Irresistible

(Irresistible)

Irresistible

(Irresistible)

Irresistible

It's in your lips and in your kiss

It's in your touch and your fingertips

And it's in all the things and other things

That make you who you are and your eyes irresistible

It makes your lips so kissable

And your kiss unmissable

Your fingertips so touchable

And your eyes, your eyes, your eyes,

Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes

Irresistible

What is true love? - 4

True love is forgiving that person not because he or she deserves to be forgiven. You just choose to overlook his or her faults and wrong doings because you still want that person in your life.

The Croods

It's been a while since I watched a new movie, especially an animated one. Went to watch The Croods.

The Croods is about a family that lives like cavemen that never explore the outside world due to the father's strict rule - never be curious. However, the rebellious daughter thinks otherwise and thinks there's more to what their current life has to offer. Soon, all of their lives are changed when they are force to leave their cave and explore because of the ending of the world.

The animation is nicely done and all the human characters look good with believable expressions. There are various kinds of unique (or mutated I would say) animals such as a giant tiger cat, flying turtles and flesh eating birds which are all very creative. The visual effects of the environments are also stunning. It reminds me of the visuals from Avatar and Life of Pi.

It is a good comedy as many screens will have the audience of all ages laughing. Like most animated movies, this one contains emotional and touching screens too.

A cute, funny, visually beautiful movie to watch.
