Somewhere over the rainbow by Judy Garland

This song kills me. It intensifies my longing to escape, and find that land where blue birds fly. The melody and the words to this song captures the feeling of every dream, every desire, every wish that my heart has made since I was old enough to realize the meaning of sorrow. Incidentally, it also has been adopted as a gay anthem. I think it’s the reference to the rainbow that becomes the link. hehehe

It's amazing to me how some special person can summon up their understanding as a human being, artistic vision as an artist, and talent as musician to create a song as special as this one. Maybe he thought of it in his sleep, or maybe this song was written very early in the morning, still dazed from a dream. Maybe he heard the singing of those blue birds atop his window, beckoning him to come out and follow them to that land..."way above the chimney top that's where you'll find me"... Unbeknownst to birds that human like us don't have wings & can't fly.
...actually this song was composed by Harold Arlen, the lyrics was written by Yip Harburg. It was made famous by Judy Garland in Wizard of Oz. Of course, everyone knows that!

This song sounds especially good after I've just returned from a job interview. I am not really too keen on entering the corporate world. But I think I'll be alright as long as I can separate the essence of who I am as a person, and who I have to be when I have to earn my wages. Like a separation of state and religion- it is possible for the two to exists side by side, as long as one doesn't interfere with the other.

It must be wonderful to have a job that follows the inkling of your artistic inclination. During the job fair, I submitted my resume to Philippine National Inquirer! hahaha! The funny thing was that they were not even there for the job fair. I am not exactly sure what they were there for. But they had a booth, so I took the opportunity para mag-epal. So I just walked past their booth, and sheepishly dropped off my resume on the table. The person manning the booth looked really scary. He had the air of someone really important in his field of expertise, the Filipino version of Perry White chief editor of the Daily Planet, maybe?
Anyway, I have a second interview on Wednesday. I think this one is to assess my typing proficiency. That should be a laugh!!!

I don't know if I'm sad or happy.
