"Sad Song" by We The Kings

You and I,
We're like fireworks and symphonies exploding in the sky.
With you, I'm alive
Like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collide.

So stop time right here in the moonlight,
Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes.

Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
I'm just a sad song.

With you I fall.
It's like I'm leaving all my past in silhouettes up on the wall.
With you I'm a beautiful mess.
It's like we're standing hand in hand with all our fears up on the edge.

So stop time right here in the moonlight,
Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes.

Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.

You're the perfect melody,
The only harmony
I wanna hear.
You're my favorite part of me,
With you standing next to me,
I've got nothing to fear.

Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.

Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
I'm just a sad song.

What I desire the most?

        If you ask me what I desire the most in my life I would say: A soul mate, a friend.    A friend who would not break my heart. A friend who will trust me with his/her whole heart, the one who knows me, who know how insane I am, and without him/her I am nothing. Someone who I can call at the middle of the night for help and he/she is always ready. The one i can be open-minded with, the one who knows my biggest crush and my biggest enemy. The one who don't break my heart, who treats me like I am the only one, and then i will even treat him/her the same. The one, in whose house I can go anytime, and he/she don't mind. Whose mother and father are like my mom and dad.The one who would be with me 12/7.The one my mother trusts my family know. The one who means a lot. And who knows that I would be with him/her in his/her trouble or sore. The one I appreciate and they appreciate me.The one who would be there in my pain and my happiness. The one who would miss me when i am gone. Well i just want someone who calls me his/her best friend, and prove it!
''I do not desire Medicare love, I only desire of a best friend''   The one who tells me his/her secrets and do not tell my secrets to anyone. The one i can not live without.But this desire will never come true, but still I won't lose Hope!

 It's hard to forget someone, who is special to you,with whom you have faced your tears and your smile, your soulmate, but unfortunately, worst times also come, like when he/she stop talking to you like old days.And starts to ignore you but you still keep hope and message him/her everyday with a little hope and he/she still ignores you.    
But time comes when that same person need you back... Like when you finally lose all your hope and message him/her last time and he/she replies, and you become so beautified and glad that you cant breathe, but he/she talks in a rude manner, like why you keep on texting me? cant you see I'm busy or something, but you say sorry and apologize and become hopeless once again.And after few weeks...     
You message him/her last time before saying Goodbye! and at the same time he/she replies, that moment, the most memorable moment and you cant even stop smiling, and almost can't breath as well.You become so happy that you make so many mistakes in your sentences and he/she corrects you. And your all like, Damn! those old days and then you send him/her screenshots of your old conversations which you saved back then.And he/she even laughs or grinning and says; Yes!that time was epic. And you keep on sending those convos' to him/her, and you become that same old best friends as before, and then you speak to yourself by saying; That person i use to know is still inside him/her.And then your tears come out of your eyes and meet the sweetness of you mouth, which makes a salty-sweet mixture.
But later after 1 or 2 hours......he/she say that they wanna go, and our all like yea sure, no problem.but from inside your all like; No! don't I wanna talk more, please don't go. But still you are so happy that you cant stop smiling or laughing for no reason till the day ends.

Essay on Immigrants.

      There are many different reasons why people have their country to go to another country. Actually, I'm not an Immigrant.However, according to my own experience, some people move to another country to look forward to their better education. Now, I know but many people are getting married just to go to United States, and they became immigrants to the US.

      Being an immigrant to the United States is not easy. What I mean is the way of life is not easy for some people, because everything is money, We have to pay for everything. Only we have the right to do whatever we want to but in the US there are many things we must go through if we want something, and we also spend a lot of money for many reasons, Shelter, Water, Food. Everything always costs money.

       There are many sacrifices people face while they are immigrants. They work long hours for more money, but they don't have enough time with their family. Some people work 24 hours in order to have enough money for their rents and bills. Some people even get sick because of working hard during the day and night. But, they don't chose to quit their jobs, because they must work hard to get money for their need and wants.

       In conclusion, being and immigrants is not an easy way to live well and have a better lifestyle. For immigrants it is not easy to adopt the culture and the way that people behave.

Essay on Water Rafting.

Sense of suspense and anticipation as we rafted down the Nantahala River. I recall in vivid detail the scenery around us as we embarked on our perilous journey down the Nantahala. We arrived at the drop-off point in the early afternoon the next day. The sweet smell of fresh pine trees was floating in the air and a soft midsummer breeze was brushing against our faces. After receiving directions and safety precautions from our rafting instructor, we geared up, boarded our raft, and set out for our voyage down the treacherous Nantahala. Sharing the experience with my friends and cousin along with out rafting guide. We were all ready for a fun and safe ride down the Nantahala. As we started to slowly drift down the river, seemingly inch by inch, I began to have feelings of disappointment. I had been planning on a more hazardous and fast-paced ride. The water was crystal clear and almost as flat as a sheet of glass. There was only a very mild current and being as impatient as I was, it appeared to me that we weren’t even moving. Eventually, the current became a little stronger and the ride a little swifter. My feelings of disappointment slowly vanished and feelings of excitement and exhilaration took their place. As the terrain surrounding us became more rocky and rough, so did the river. It was no longer calm and clear like a mountain lake, but more white and frothy like sea foam and rough like a white squall. We passed many small falls, being splashed and soaked from all directions at the bottom of each one. The water was icy cold, cold enough to make you tremble to the bone. I don’t think water surrounding an iceberg in the arctic could have been any colder. Each time I was splashed, thoughts of hypothermia flashed through my head. Our raft almost sank a few times because of the constant splashing of water into our raft. Each time we passed a stretch of rapids, and especially when we made it to the top of each fall a sense of anticipation would come over me I didn’t know what would happen next. There was always a chance that our raft might hit a boulder and flip, or that someone might fall out.

YOUR FRIEND HAD A TYPICAL DAY AT SCHOOL, YOU DECIDE TO WRITE A DESCRIPTION TO HER/HIS.

              Hey! I am so sorry that I was not able to attend the school. I heard that you had a fight with some seniors. Damn, I missed it, just kidding. But do you know what happened to me at home? Let me tell you;

            I was sleeping in my room and suddenly I heard a sound, so I woke up but still was a little dizzy, so I saw there was no one, so I fell asleep again, later again, I heard a voice. So I got up from my bed to check, I was so shocked by seeing that there was ……… no one.
          The time I was checking, I heard a spooky voice from my parents room, so I became so scared that I opened all the wall lights, and went towards my bedroom, and tried to sleep, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to cause I was scared. And then suddenly I heard that someone is brushing his/her teeth. So I grabbed my toy gun, and hide in the closet.

              Later, when I came out of the closet and saw that most of the wall lights were switched off, so I became so scared that I started crying. The time I was crying I heard some voice from the kitchen, at the time I went there, I saw……….. My brother was there and was scaring me the whole time. I became so angry on him that I started hitting him, at the same time my mother and sister came from buying some groceries and brought some food for us.

           So later when we had our dinner, I told them the whole story. They couldn’t stop laughing. And I was like, what’s so funny!? And now my sister calls me “Scary-pant”, like seriously?

           I hope you enjoyed my real, not too scary story. And forget about the fight, it happens all the time, and the next time you fight, I better be there. Just kidding,

    Love you and take care..

"INDEPENDENCE DAY OF PAKISTAN"

Independence Day (Urdu: یوم آزادی‎; Yaum-e Āzādī), observed annually on 14 August, is a national holiday in Pakistan. It commemorates the day when Pakistan achieved independence and was declared a sovereign nation following the end of the British Raj in 1947. Pakistan came into existence as a result of the Pakistan Movement which aimed for the creation of an independent Muslim state by division of the north-western regions of South Asia. The movement was led by the All Indian-Muslim League under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah{Quaid-e-Azam}. The event was brought forth by the Indian Independence Act 1947 under which the British Raj  gave independence to the Dominion of Pakistan {later the Islamic Republic of Pakistan} which comprised West Pakistan{present-day Pakistan} and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh ). In the Islamic calendar , the day of independence coincided with Ramadan 27, the eve of which, being Laylat-at-Qadr,  is regarded as sacred by Muslims.

The main Independence Day ceremony takes place in Islamabad,  where the National flag is hoisted at the Presidential and Parliament buildings. It is followed by the National anthem and live televised speeches by leaders. Usual celebratory events and festivities for the day include flag-raising ceremonies, parades, cultural events, and the playing of patriotic songs. A number of award ceremonies are often held on this day, and citizens often hoist the national flag atop their homes or display it prominently on their vehicles and attire.

 Our (Loved) Flag                 

                 Minar-e-Pakistan (Urdu: مینارِ پاکستان‎ / Mīnār-i Pākistān, literally "Tower of Pakistan") is a public monument located in Iqbal Park which is one of the largest urban parks in Lahore,Pakistan,Punjab. The tower was constructed during the 1960's on the site where, on 23 March 1940, the All India-Muslim League passed the Lahore Resolution, the first official call for a separate homeland for the Muslims living in the South Asia, in accordance with the two nation theory.The place apparently is the exact spot where the Independence declaration of India, the Purna Swaraj was announced in 1929 after the Lahore session of Indian National Congress  and the then Indian flag was hoisted as there was no demand for Pakistan till then.

Our Flag is the 5th best Flag in the World. 5tlag in the World.

The Pakistani flag is green and white. A white crescent moon and a five-pointed star are on a green field; a white stripe by the hoist side represents the nation's minority non-Muslim population. The crescent and star are traditional symbols of the Islamic religion.

The National flag of Pakistan (Urdu: قومی پرچم‎, Qaumī Pārc̱am) was adopted in its present form during a meeting of the Constituent Assembly on August 11, 1947, just three days before the country's Independence, when it became the official flag of the Dominion of Pakistan.It was afterwards retained by the current-day Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The flag is a green field with a white crescent moon and five-rayed star at its center, and a vertical white stripe at the hoist side. Though the green color is mandated only as 'dark green',its official and most consistent representation is Pakistan green, which is shaded distinctively darker. The flag was designed by Amiruddin Kidwai, and is based on the All Indian-Muslim League Flag.
