Make Your Move

Adapted from: Chess Corner

Cynically, chess and politics are alike ... hahaha

Chess is a fairy tale of 1001 blunders. Chess is a mental torture. Chess is ruthless: you've got to be prepared to kill people. You cannot play chess if you are kind-hearted. Every grandmaster was once a beginner. A chess game is divided into three stages: the first, when you hope you have the advantage, the second when you believe you have an advantage, and the third... when you know you're going to lose! All that matters in chess is good moves. The pawns are the soul of chess. The blunders are all there in chess, waiting to be made. A player surprised is half beaten. A pin is mightier than the sword.

Su of Teia de Ariana has requested me to list out six(6) songs that are very important for me along my life ...

The answer is ... NONE.

No songs can be so important to me. No songs can affect me living up my life. The reason for this is simple ... I live my life according to the Faith I believe in, the knowledge of what I have learnt and acquired and my life experiences (good or bad).

I however do admire some songs that I wish they were mine. The followings are 6 songs which I think are the best songs I have ever heard:

1) Spirits Having Flown by Bee Gees.

Make Your Move


You know ... I always doubt
with every move you make
so full of questions
of your intention
by the commotions
stirred up by your hands


by the movement you make

a victory to take

satisfied breath

of another death


Here I am to face with

all the choices that I have to take

with uncertainty on the other side

A cynical smile spread across your face

just raised another maze

for me to scrutinize another look


Suddenly I realize I am back with my rhyme

Suddenly you just out of time


Now you better think twice

I am full of surprise

I can see in your eyes

A bad streak


To choose or not to choose

To stay or not to stay

The clock will keep on ticking

So make your move


There you are to face with

all the choices that you have to take

with the ambiguity on the my side


A cynical smile spread across my face

just raised another maze

for you to scrutinize another look


Suddenly you realize I am back with my rhyme

Suddenly you just out of time
