Things that make me cry

Craving: Buttermilk Pancakes

Now what in the world would inspire me to write about things that make me cry? Strangely enough it had to do with me feeling pretty jiwang and listening to love songs. During a discussion on jiwang songs and videos with a couple of friends, I suddenly remembered a music video that I saw about 2 or 3 years back. It was a really sad video but for the death of me I could remember the title nor the artist of the song. All I remembered was that it was korean and part of the story line. I had forgotten all about it until today when for some reason I decided to go search for it during my lunch hour. So after some mucking about, I finally found it "Because I'm a girl" - by Kiss . And no it isn't by the rock band KISS. Downloaded it and watched it. Sad video, which u really must see to understand. However eventhough I found it very very touching and moving, I barely teared up at the end. Maybe it was because I've seen it before. So this prompted me to think of stuff that has made me cry, or more precisely things I have seen, heard or read. This ofcourse doesn't include all the personal/relationship stuff as well as onions (which incidentally will make me cry almost everytime I cut them, it is almost as if they want me to feel their pain)

So here is a list of things that have made me cry

• Because I'm a girl - by Kiss (Music Video)
Really sad Korean music video in which the guy donates his eyes to the girl he loves. Needs to be seen.

• Streams of Silver - by R.A. Salvatore (Book)
The second book in the Icewind Dale Trilogy set in the Forgotten Realms. It talks about the adventures of a group of companions, Drizzt Do'Urden the drow ranger, Wulfgar the barbarian, Regis the Halfling, Bruenor Battlehammer the dwarf and Catti-Brie Bruenor's adopted human daughter. The scene in the second hald of the book where the group thinks that Drizzt has perished, never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Only book to have ever done this. Kudos to Bob Salvatore.

• Watch the Lamb - by Ray Boltz (Song)
Very touching Chrisitan song. Heard it for the first time when I was part of the Youth Fellowship in my church and we were about to put on a play to this song. Everyone sat down and they played the song once over the speakers before we started practice. When the song ended you could just feel the emotion in the air.

• Some old movie about a boy and a Dragon (not Puff the Magic Dragon)
No idea what this movie was called. All I know that it was from my childhood. I must have been only about 10 when I saw this. Beautiful show about a boy and a dragon, and when the dragon leaves at the end, for some reason I cried.

• Armageddon (Movie)
Now this is a show which I love. Unfortunately I always cry when Harry Stamper dies in the show. I can usually hold out until the big black guy says "Harry, you're the man" for some reason I always feel moved by that scene. Even after watching this movie numerous times, the affect on me is still the same.

*P/S : My all time favourite quote from Armageddon
"Miss Stamper? Colonel Willie Sharp, United States Airforce. Requesting permission, to shake the hand, of the daughter, of the bravest man I ever met." - Colonel Willie Sharp, Armageddon the movie
