Reasons why I love being a songwriter:
Music truly is a universal language.
When I released 'Siboh Kitak Nangis' (meaning Don't You Cry) on my 2nd album 'Ghostbird', I was faced with many doubtful questions from Malaysians (I don't need to tell you which part Msia these Q's came from), who asked me things like, "Wahhh~ berani eh you letak lagu Sarawak dalam album you?" and "So is this a way to prove you're more Malaysian?" (Whut, bro?) I thought to myself, this was just a song I wrote about comforting yourself, or others, and telling them that every hardship shall pass, chin up, don't worry, I'll be by your side if you need me, come rain, thunder or lightning, I will be with you... BUT it just so happens to be in my native dialect of Bahasa Sarawak.
I remember hearing praises about it from my record label and particularly my producer Mario Caldato (Mario C) and how excited they were to be hearing this beautiful language, and their faith in the song made my heart melt.
When the song finally released, and hearing those things from my fellow countrymen shocked me to the core.
Of course, not everyone thought like that... Members of the media were very kind and I have been told that the song went on to inspire many more artistes and Sarawakian artistes to embrace our culture and language... Which to me, meant that that was my job as a songwriter done. 'Siboh Kitak Nangis' then went on to be become the first Bahasa Sarawak song on an international album, on rotation on NPR radio stations in the US and was also featured in Korean dramas, and also just like in this video, appreciated by people of different parts of the world who do not even remotely know what it means, just by the sentiments of the song that they're hearing.
This is Gina, New York born and raised to parents of Haiti Island. Singing in the Sarawakian language flawlessly.
My darlings, in music, there is no limit. No one makes the rules. It depends on what you want to achieve and express. Sing the language of your hearts, your souls, and mind not about "making it the market", truth is, someone, somewhere, needs to hear it, and feel like they are loved and not alone.❤️ On that note: OOHHHAAAAA🌺!

รักรื่น-เลิกรา เป็นธรรมดาของความรัก เราอาจมองความรักเป็นสิ่งสวยงาม แต่ความรักมีเส้นทางที่ซับซ้อน สับสน และมีความหมายที่มากไปกว่าแค่เพียง 'สวยงาม' เสมอ
2
เมื่อรักใครสักคน สิ่งที่เราต้องการจากคนนั้นคือการยอมรับในตัวเรา และเมื่อรักกัน สิ่งที่ทั้งคู่ต้องการก็คือการยอมรับในกันและกัน เมื่อใดที่ใครคนหนึ่งไม่ยอมรับ ย่อมมีโอกาสที่รักนั้นจะจืดจางและเหือดแห้งลง

The cuddle th school - break up is normal of love. We may look at love as beautiful, but love has a complicated, confusing and meaningful path that is always more than just 'beautiful'
2
When we love someone, all we want from that person is to accept us. and when we love each other, all they want is to accept each other. When someone doesn't accept it, there is a chance that love will fade and dry.
3
Love during sweet and fresh is not difficult to prove. It is love that passes time. Love that doesn't flourish is the love that waits for the day. Love can flourish. Need to take care of each other. watering the earth for the tree to grow. Love grows. Love flowering New again and over again
4
Aristotle says dedication to the benefit of love is the heart of love. If you don't do this, then the relationship may not be love.
5
This dedication is not only " giving something " but also means " surrender to something " or " giving up their own happiness " such as some people think that when someone loves, without freedom when they are single, this is one of proof that I am. Can I "dedicate yourself" for a lover?
6
Aristotle as well who says friendship and love will make us see the other as our 'second identity'. When we feel like this, doing good things for him is like doing good for himself.
7
The more I dedicate myself to someone, the more I feel part of him. This one may miss the mother who gave her love.
8
" doing for the benefit of the other " is not equal to " making the other happy " so there may be interrupted lovers because it is beneficial in the long term. No need to spoil all the time, but always wish. This is love.
9
Love is the best wishes to make a lover happy, but love itself is not always happiness.
10
It is possible that in some time, having love is suffering, but we can develop suffering between us into happiness if love can change certain qualities that used to create suffering into positive such as flirty, selfishness, nagging, etc.
11
Love can change someone and love can't change someone
12
Time changes some people but time doesn't change some people
13
Loving someone who is not qualified to create happiness for us (or without the potential to change negative qualities into positive) is a waste.
14
Because love from us (no matter how much) does not change anyone to be ' good '. He needs to have that qualification in himself or there must be an effort to change himself into a ' POSITIVE ' love.
15
The love that we give to that person does not guarantee that you can change our lover alone or be our good person or bring a happy relationship.
16
The love we give to someone is not holy to conquer every obstacle.
17
Expecting that we love someone with all our heart. Do everything and they will do that to us. It's what we think about. If that person is not qualified as we expect.
18
A lot of love is broken because we expect from the cuddle people to love us as much as we dedicated. Love is not a mark equation = in the middle of two people. If it is to adapt to the other to arrange ' balance ' which doesn't mean 'equal'
19
Life is not according to the sentence that says, " only you and your love can make me happy nay, our happiness is not in someone's hand.
20
It's me who should adjust our heart, fill the qualifications of ' open the opportunity to give happiness ' for ourselves. That's how we have to open for happiness from other things in life as well. It's not value it less than love. When we open, we open, we will find that we Life is fine besides love
21
When so, we expect less " perfect love " or " perfect lover that could make us more merciful, forgiving and patient with the dislikes of lovers.
22
He is not a factor for us to suffer with life, but still the factor that makes us happy.
23
The reason we should forgive each other is because we are not perfect. When we need forgiveness from him some time.
24
Whether it ends up in relationship or break up, the important thing is that we have to maintain 'happy' without being given by lovers. This is the most important feature.
25
Love is uncertain, not beautiful, devotion to someone is the meaning of love. While withdrawal from the influence that person has on happiness - our suffering is important of living.
26
Give love to someone we love. If it hurts, see happiness from other than love without seeing that love is the only path that will lead to happiness.
27
Often, we separate from lovers to open our eyes and see happiness from other things or others in life.
28
Often, when we separate from lovers to know love. The important thing is to love our own life. Life - that is not perfect, but mixed with many flavors that make us learn to grow strong.
29
When we can love our own life even if it's incomplete, we can love others even if they are incomplete too.
30
That's the truth of life. That's the truth of love, it's not perfect. But in imperfections, there are many good things and beautiful things. Forgive the sky days. Remember the sunny days. Look at the flowers that have bloomed and will bloom again.
Love is not beautiful, but every love has beautiful things in it.
Only we don't expect it, only one sided beauty.
Yes, we may be disappointed with love, but we don't have to be disappointed with life.
