Mystic Nymph: day 24 – a song that you want to play at your funeral

I'll let you in a little revelation about my favorite usernames in my virtual sites. First is about my Mikimoto Angel pen name. Mikimoto is a famous brand of pearl accessories in America. I first saw that brand in Vogue Magazine. I got mesmerized by that label, and I thought of using it. I just added Angel from my name "Angela". Thus, the formation of Mikimoto Angel.

For my other pen name Mystic Nymph, the word mystic really came from the show Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog. I used to be so hooked to that show. I am also obsessed with mythologies, and nymphs are mythical creatures depicted as beautiful young women who are considered as guardians of objects and places in nature. Thus, the evolution of Mystic Nymph.

day 24 – a song that you want to play at your funeral

Death comes like a thief in the night. It’s not something that we have to look forward to, because it just comes like a surprise. It’s so dreadful just thinking about it, let alone blogging about it. But I know that no matter how much we fear death, it’s still going to happen to all of us. We should somehow be prepared when it comes knocking at our door.

I am not afraid to die; it’s just that I’m not ready for it yet. I would love to be in that place of everlasting bliss. I have a lot to ask God. I want to know him personally. Death for me is not the total end. For me, it’s the beginning of another life somewhere. Okay, let me not delve deep into that. Let’s talk about the 24^th task of this challenge instead.

I don’t want a song that is too conventional for my funeral. Those tunes that are somewhat “registered songs for death” should vanish and crap out. You know that song that goes something like, “It’s not how long we held each other’s hands…blah…blah…blah…”? That song totally gets into my nerves.

To those people who love me, don’t forget to play this piano piece by Jim Cipaldi. It’s called Goodbye. Here’s the song.
