how do you ponder your own thoughts

no i just typed in the title, it clearly has nothing to do with this update again with my life... i personally forgot what ever i was supposed to type here... but oh well...

lets just put this in account that somewhere out there in this universe someone is going to read this... i think...

so here i put this random story thought, or something (let me just think about it)

OH here's one... i just thought of this a few days ago, its about my thought about music boxes... its in my post somewhere in plurk... aaaaaaaaaaaand yeah found it and here it is...

musicbox tune~~ i wonder if being a music box note (you know that one round thing inside a music box) thingie seller would feel like...

lolol but here is the general idea of it... you know music boxes... with all those mechanical things in them, gears, thingama-bob things, and that... *researches about the parts of a music box... okay not much said except for the steel comb* cylinder and those steel combs that gets plucked to produce music...

the idea was, what if in those days someone had some ingenius balls to invent a way to keep the music box intact and make the cylinder in the middle interchangable to whatever kind of piece you want to listen to... yeh yeh... get it? no? yes??

hahaha it might be fun to do that and then suddenly like a stop watch time stands still and all the famous fad of today weren't that famous and succesful as those interchangable cylinder things in the music box and that music boxes has ever since been a thing of this world... without those wonderful and simplistic music no one had the brains to maintain focused and sane... lol sorry making it way too complicated an idea... no, no i just came up with this one...

the real one is actually:

what if music boxes became a famous hobby like collectible with a new design that interchanges the cylinder in the middle, the design would be slicker and the cylinders would be replaced by very unbreakable sheets with protruding pins like those of its predecessor cylinders, but its use are just the same as its predecessor... pluck the steel comb to prodruce those wonderful sounds you hear when ever you listen to them...

its not very original and its not even innovative... but the idea of making them makes me want to think of a slice of life/drama like story, with a steampunk type of era, of "the only" maker of the music sheets of the music box in the whole world and that suprisingly alot of rich hobbyist comes to him to make those kinds of things and that since he has been focusing soo much in making those things, his whole heart and soul in ever music box he makes and every sheet he sells, that he forgets about the rest of the world...

he is kind and has brought simple happiness to alot of his customers but he himself feels quite happy and lonely... so one day he decides to take up an apprentice, having an apprentice that makes music boxes and its sheets are pretty hard and for fear that his profession and the world of music boxes would some day disappear his only option was to adopt...

so he adopts a boy he see's potential in... eventually this boy is quite skilled and at first he gives his heart to working with the man, but as years passed by when he grows up to the age of point where all kids think of the future he felt a small tug in his heart that he doesn't belong in making those music boxes and sheets...

on a side note, at the same time the man adopted the boy, he was also forced to adopt a girl so withdrawn but a pretty much reliable girl, it was the boys twin... but as a twin she has exactly the opposite things the boy has... at some point , though secretly this girl knows much things, even skills much more appropriate to make those music boxes... but since her heart was for to support her brother in her promise to their father to take care of him, since she seems to be the older of the twins by a few hours, she focused on being beside her brother helping him at times and watching him work she saw that he would have a good future being the apprentice of this man and some day would replace him...

the man pretty much is unaware of the boys sudden change of heart in making music boxes as he is blinded by the fact that this young man will succeed to make the music boxes, all he did care was the world of music boxes not fading... although he never mistreats the girl he never saw her as a potential successor... but he is also fond of her, being a nice girl witty and helpful in the house...

everything changed when the boy ran away with one of the mans customers children, the twin sister finds this romantic unnecessary and stupid... the man was heartbroken for quite some time also he is also reaching the a point of his body where he couldn't stand making any more of the parts, his eye sight strains faster... so instead the girl took her brothers place, even though she was a girl, at first she wasn't accepted well since at an unknown history all the predecessor of the man are all men he was kind of skeptical

but they had no choice he needed someone to replace him soon, the girl at first stands to people dressed up as men so that the man wouldn't be criticized socially and to avoid any harmful gossip to him... but eventually with the help of some of her friends, which she acquired like her brother did with his lover, some of the children of the customers, she gains customers of her own and seems to acquire some curious rivalry with the branch of the man and her own...

she made seperate music boxes and sheets for her friends, and some used this to advertise her skills as a woman... the man wasn't aware of this at first but he soon grew suspicious of the girls actions, even though the girl pretty much didn't care or wasn't aware of her friends help since it seems like her friends are marketers of her skills...

soon enough she began to wear her self out into making music boxes, she actually enjoyed making them enthusiastic infact, but it seems just like the man, it told into her health... but her will was as strong as his (the man) that she eventually over comes her fatigue and succeeds in making customers happy...

on a side note her brother keeps in touch with her sisters progress through her friends and it seems he has grown guilty of his own selfishness that at certain times he felt like going back to them, specially since he has trouble making a living with various jobs he isn't often used to doing...

on a random occurrence since, like an artist block, she felt like not working so she declared a two day off, much to the exasperation and amusement of the man... so they bond like a father and daughter for the rest of the time of the first day... that was when the man realized how the girl and he were the same in a way... except that for the girl she knew how to value a rest while the man was to zealous about his love that he found no time to look up and see things around him...

he tells her many stories about himself, broken lives, his fears, his first loves, his broken hearts, the hearts he broke... all in that one day she listened intently about himself that she nor her brother never knew... and the only comment she told him in the end

"phew, and i thought your like a super god of music boxes only caring for them. i thought your just kidding and that you loosing your sight was something of a joke in trend to being a human... but, i was wrong. you are human, that makes me feel relieved to know. at least i know me and my brothers touched a heart that grows, my father once told me when i was young, living is good. survive with less fears given and more fought against, but never ever NOT try being a part of ones heart.

i guess when he said that... he lied since he left us, back then. but now it's true... i guess he was telling the truth."

the man saw that true as well in the case of the twins... and he was happy. it felt like for the first time, even though he was always behind those spectacles that helps him make those music boxes and sheets, he was aware of the things around him. he was with the rest of the world.

in the end of that day he settled finally by saying after his long rest... of teaching them, her and her brother, it was time he stood back up his shop to make music boxes and that now and until the end of his days he should make music boxes because that is what he loves. the girl supports him faithfully and tells him and if he one day leaves this world she will completely be in his stead in making those music boxes... but

"don't leave yet... i mean come on. *pause* brother has not yet said his sorry and... i still need you here master."

her next day were filled with writing letters to her friends and, at some point she knew, to her brother... eventually the news her brother receives from her friends were all actually coming from her, letters she herself wrote. she didn't bear any grudge to her brother but out of goodwill she hoped he would come back and that finally after the day she spent with the man she resolved in writing a letter to her brother requesting him to come back.

eventually the circumstance about the mystery rival of the mans music box was settled by introducing the real maker which is the girl and she boldly announced that she is stepping in as a maker of music boxes and sheets, but not as a replacement of the man... because to her point of view he still made good music boxes, and despite some mild lax in his reclining senses he has the will and heart to make them still. as beautiful as he did with enthusiasm in his eyes the first time he made his debut back then when he was younger.

while she will make her own name... among the people many are surprised by her bold move, many applauded, supported, mildly doubted or simply doubt her... but in her eyes all she could care was the upcoming future of the few seconds that will come, of the everyday from then on.

all goes well at least, her brother received her letter and found the courage to come back, along with his now growing family of five and a half. staying in the house meant a good lot of change for the man as he happily shrugged at accepting the boys family. the girl was ecstatic since now she's got tiny nephews and nieces to occupy some of her time and gladly welcomed her brother and his wife.

he resolved in helping at the shop of the old man, while the girl has her own seperate shop.

this might be a little unnecessary for the flow of the story itself but secretly, the girl loved the man, not just like a father. but her love she was sure wouldn't ever be reciprocated as anything more but a love of a mere girl and that in the end her resolve to be amongst the people she love, she was happy enough.


so in the end every thing was like a tiny positive happy go lucky bring me inspiration story, eventually i couldn't bare to make the old man and the girl be a couple, but i truly want to and actually is thinking of making them have a child and that child will be the true successor but oh well~~

the end
