You Don't Own Me - Leslie Gore

You don't own me,
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me,
don't say I can't go with other boys

And don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display, 'cause

You don't own me,
don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me,
don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay

Oh, I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please

(Instrumental interlude)

A-a-a-nd don't tell me what to do
Oh-h-h-h don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display

I don't tell you what to say
Oh-h-h-h don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young
(FADE)
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want

Lie To Me

I really like this series as it opens up my knowledge on how to detect if a person is lying just through microexpressions of the face.

It begins with the story of Dr. Cal Lightman (Tim Roth) who went around the world researching microexpressions (in which you will find out in the later episodes) that was triggered by his mother's suicide. He then founded The Lightman Group, and together with a bunch of collegues, assist 3rd parties such as law enforcements in investigations to solve cases through interpreting microexpressions on the face and body language.

Throughout the whole series you will be able to pick up 1 or 2 universal signs of contempt or shame, which is humorously depicted with pictures of leaders around the world. This series is definitely a good watch but unfortunately I'm only onto season 1 and is waiting to get my hands on Season 2 and 3.

Shake it! Shake it!

Ever have the feeling that although you are surrounded by people or friends and yet you feel so alone. It's been almost a week and I still can't shake this feeling off. It's not that I don't have any companion or entertainment in life but after all that there is still a feeling of emptiness or lost somewhere tingling at the back of your mind.

There is a song titled 'leaf' by Ah Shang in which the lyrics mention that loneliness leads a person to party and all those partying is just only a bunch of lonely people. This led me to think are we partying just because we are a bunch of lonely freaks?
If yes then why are we lonely? why do we need to constantly do some daring stunt just to feel the adrenalin rush? what about just peacefully happy?

I guess this is why they say life is a journey where you experience and explore. Maybe it's time for me to explore the depths of this. Hopefully I'll be able to find what I'm looking for.
