(S34 / V06) What does VITAS mean for you ?

        I believed every fan of Vitas would have his or her own answer when asked “What does Vitas mean for you?”. For me, the answer to the question is simple, Vitas simply means V.I.T.A.S., while V for Visionary, I for Internet, T for Thankfulness, A for Aspiration, and S for Secret.

V for Visionary

        Visionary (adjective) – fanciful; existing in the mind only and improbable of fulfillment.

        A famous American boxer, Muhammad Ali, had once said “A man who has no imagination has no wings”. I am totally agreed with the quote. Although I can never fulfill my dreams, they are important to my life and I cannot live without fantasizing.

        In the past, I mean before I knew Vitas in summer 2005, I thought I was already very creative and imaginative. I knew I was wrong because my imagination goes so wild to the extend that I cannot imagine right after the moment of knowing Vitas.

        The visionary scenes, of course more or less related to Vitas, are like flowers falling from sky, driving my emotions up and down, like riding on a roller coaster. Vitas had induced my imaginations; I am working hard to make my dreams come true, by turning them into fictions and my life goals.

        “Visionary”, is the first adjective I would use in describing what Vitas means to me.

I for Internet

        Internet (noun) – digital communicating networks in which millions of computers around the world are connected to each other.

        I can’t imagine what would life be without the Internet. Would I have any chance to dedicate my appreciation to Vitas? Would I have the braveness to publicize my creations? Would it still be an online forum for Vitas’ fans to chat with each other? Probably not. And perhaps the sparkle that leads to the ignition of what I have mentioned would also not exist if there were no invention called Internet.

        The sparkle, the email with a hyperlink to Vitas’ performance of <Opera #2> in the Kremlin, then induced my searching for Vitas’ biography, news, songs, video clips and photos online. I found the forum of Chinese Vitas’ fans and registered as a member. Besides sharing views and comments on Vitas’ songs and performances, the forum is also a media for Chinese Vitas’ fans to share our creations about Vitas, and chat away of our daily lives.

        My search for news about Vitas and participation in the forum becomes a habit. Although many believe that people used to hide their real selves in the Internet, and that’s why we regarded the Internet world “virtual reality”, during my search for Vitas’ news and participation in the forum, I am so delighted by the invention of the Internet, which brings people together, and makes sharing information so convenient.

        “Internet”, is the only media for me to know more about Vitas.

T for Thankfulness

        Thankfulness (noun) – expression of thanks.

        What I have to say in this section is of course “Thank you”. Thank you Vitas, for bringing me new sensations, in which I understand myself more thorough. Thank you, for letting me experiencing “love” in a new way. Vitas’ songs are inspiring. They induced my imagination, flourished my mind and soul, bought me peacefulness and made me energetic.

        I love writing stories and making other forms of creations. But the “fire of creation” inside my heart has nearly been put out by the endless homework and examinations after my life as an university student began. I was pessimistic towards life because my future seemed so grey. Thank you Vitas, for being my guidance with your songs and beautiful voice, the cloudiness had been clear up and a bright future was recognized. I realized that nothing is impossible and the “fire of creation ” was lighted up again.

        Besides that, Vitas had helped me set new goals in my life, like learning Russian, practicing singing and acting… these are all wonderful experiences and memories that flourished my life.

        “Thankfulness”, a word that expresses my affection to Vitas best. Though I can never reach the star no matter how high I jumped, I had already gained a lot. Thank you.

A for “Aspiration”

        Aspiration (noun) – a strong desire to do something great or important.

        <My aspiration> is a very popular composition topic in primary schools in Hong Kong. When I was a child, I dreamed of being a teacher. When I became a teenager, I dreamed of being a flight attendant. By the time I entered university, I chose a degree and start equipping myself to be a pharmacist.

        But then I was confused, because my real aspiration is to be working in the creative industry, or even the showbiz. So I promised to give myself time to develop my hobbies in leisure, but I soon found myself nearly got drowned in the sea of studying. I was frustrated to the thought that I have to give up all my hobbies and concentrate on studying only.

        And yet life is full of miracle. My attitude towards life changes dramatically from frustrating to encouraging because of Vitas. His monthly lists of concerts are always tight and full and he is always making breakthroughs. I realized that I also have to work harder to achieve my aspirations. I am not the little girl having an ambition but doing nothing for that anymore. I am now working hard both for my study and aspirations.

        “Aspiration”, I can’t tell whether I can make it true or not, but I am working hard for that because of Vitas.

S for “Secret”

        Secret (noun) – something kept hidden or known only to a few.

        I love secrets. I like hiding myself doing things secretly, and tell it off only if I have succeeded, or even keep it deep in my heart forever. There are a lot more secrets in my heart after knowing Vitas. For instance, I am learning Russian by myself, I am grabbing every opportunity to do and publicize my creations, and I am working hard in all aspects of my life because of Vitas.

        Another thing that I regard as a secret is the real reason of sending email and writing poem to Vitas. I have never delivered any appreciation to the artists I admire except Vitas, because Vitas means so much for me and that is the strong sense of “He is The One” had driven me to write something for him.

        I tend to hide some of my true feelings on Vitas because I believe that holding something you love in your hand too tight may burn it into ashes, but if you treasure it deep in your heart, the passion can last for eternity.

        “Secret”, the last word I would use in expressing my feeling on Vitas. I will keep the secrets forever.
