Lantern Floating Hawaii Ceremony (2010) (by Rex Maximilian)
This is the 12th annual lantern floating ceremony in Honolulu done over Memorial Day at Ala Moana Beach Park at dusk. It started as a small affair in 1999 by the local Japanese Shinnyo-en. It has blossomed in a strong tradition in only its twelfth year. The beach was lined with thousands of people from all over the world with lanterns ready to be set afloat with the names of, and words written to their loved ones who have passed.

Aku Bertanya Cinta
Aku lelah dengan perasaan ini
Apakah kau mencintaiku dan sedang mempermainkan hatiku
Ataukah kau memang benar tak mencintaiku dan coba tegaskan itu?
Terkadang hati bedetak cepat hanya karena senyum kecilmu
Dan terkadang hati ini berhenti berdetak hanya karena kau berpaling sejenak
Ingin kubertanya dan akhiri kegalauan ini
Tapi aku takut kehilangan cintamu
Aku takut lewati semua tanpa kau disisiku
Meski ku sadar, aku kan terus jalani kisah ini dengan tanya
Aku hanya berharap kelak kau kan pahami besarnya artimu bagiku
Bila benar cinta itu buta, maka kurelakan hatiku buta
Bila benar cinta itu tak berlogika, maka aku pasti lebih dari itu
Selama kau disampingku selama kau dipelukku
Aku takkan pernah perduli
Aku pernah merasakan kegalauan seperti ini karenamu
Dan kita masih berdiri… kau dan aku masih bersama…
Kuyakinkan diriku perasan ini kan cepat berakhir dengan sendirinya
Dan kita bahagia lagi
Aku hanya ingin bertanya … dan kuharap kau tak menjawabnya
Karena akupun hanya menanyakannya dalam hatiku
Apakah kau masih mencintaiku?
Hanya itu
Somewhere Out There
Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there And even though I know how very far apart we are It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky Somewhere out there if love can see us through Then we'll be together somewhere out there Out where dreams come true And even though I know how very far apart we are It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky Somewhere out there if love can see us through Then we'll be together somewhere out there Out where dreams come true
(Lyrics as performed by Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville)

now suddenly I’m feeling so blue when I remember all the chances that I wasted and all the mistakes that happen so often. Have I grown enough?
