Busy like a Bee

Like all happy times, the long weekend passed much faster than I expected.
It is a quiet day at work today. Everyone seems to be tied up at their desks, trying to clear a weekend’s load of work I’m missing my buddy who so happens to be my colleague and shares the desk with me. Guess we won’t be seeing much of each other with the start of our new school semester and other personal obligations to fulfill. I predict a short one this week.

Lessons officially start tomorrow and I would be tied down by tutorials and revisions, on top of my 5-day job at MND. Meanwhile, coming weekday nights would be occupied catching up with old friends and discussions for collaborations. Things seem to be picking up for me, finally, especially in October and November. Would be going back to my first and foremost passion (guess which!) and possibly a job in the industry related to my pursuing degree. Shan't say too much here lest I change my mind. ;)

So people, do pardon me if I may seem out of reach meanwhile.

Of Geeks in Rompers

Do pardon me and allow some narcisism. For I'm crazy over rompers and oversized glasses. Last weekend has been a great one, albeit a tad damaging on my figure (and his pockets!). Was eating non-stop, and I really mean it, tummy's disgustingly bulging now and I would have to abstain from wearing body-hugging clothes. That means no bodycon dresses. =( And I just bought a couple of new ones. Superficial stuff aside, its gonna be a looong weekend! Looking forward to it with a 21st birthday bash to attend and planning a night's rendezvous with my love.

But before happy times, September 18th is gonna mark an epoch in 22 years of my life. And hopefully, I'll have the courage to see it through and get what's got to be done, completed, even though I awfully dread it.

And oh yea! The Kushinbo buffet got us planning on a trip to Hokkaido. Gonna do more research on Japan and travel deals. Konichiwa, Japan!

Tumblr Addiction

I look forward to my daily A.M. dosage of Tumblr each day. The one thing which never fail to push away any negative thoughts on my mind, ease the frown lines from my face or stretch my lips to a smile. It feels like a drug addiction. A good one though because it is where I'm getting a big part of my inspiration and motivation. Does the author know this? That his writing is making an impact on someone else's outlook in life. He may never know, for we are continents apart, living opposite time zones and speak different native tongues. Each day, the weather varies. So does the environment and its people. There is no constant. Except it. It is always there, everyday, every minute. And accessible anytime, just a click away. And this is the key to its attraction. It provides relief. And with relief comes security. No contemplation nor hesistation. Thoughts and motives stated down in black and white or represented by clear images. Slate-clean. No ambiguity. Which probably explains why I'm so deeply infactuated.

The Eight-Hour Apart

Yesterday was rainy and cold. So is today.
But why does the chill feel especially so? Probably because the warmth from your embrace is long gone.
Since 8 hours ago.

L O V E

"Everyone says that love hurts, but that's not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality, love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes someone feel wonderful again."

And I would love, to love. =)

The Simple Life

Some tell me this world we live in is actually pretty simple and not to think too much. Yea, this place we live in may be simple, but the habitants are not. We, being the only living thing on Earth who has the ability to think, rationalise and exercise control over our innate instincts. But instead of using this nature's gift to simplify our lives, we complicate it.

We fill our simple lives with wrath, greed, envy, lust, pride and many other contaminants. Don't tell me it is human's nature to err. Who said so? Who made it such? We humans or another higher-being up-there? We manipulate and deceive to get what we want, or rather, what we think we want, which more often than not, can be quite alot. Who cares who might get hurt in the process as long as we get what we want. Noone. Sincerity and honesty are long-forsaken. We have forgotten that what we can achieve with these can be so much more rewarding. Perhaps most of us are scared. Schemes cunningly devised and traps laid. Lies buried by more lies. We continue to plough on in this never-ending vicious cycle we trap ourselves in.

But things are actually quite quite simple. Just us, who aren't. So let's start living our lives simple, just be sincere, and honest. Wouldn't it be nice, you think?

The Sweetest Thing

Thank you, my dearest, for getting me the healing foot pads for my stressed, tired feet. It may not cost a diamond ring, but the sincerity of it way beats getting me a gem-crusted silver band. I wasn't expecting you to take my complaints of recurring leg cramps so seriously that you would think of me in the middle of your packed work schedule to look for a remedy. Thank you, it means so much to me. This gift is the sweetest thing I've had in my lifetime. I believe the cramps won't be visiting tonight. =)
