And here it is again!

I love Sundays, and I'll tell you why.

In my diminutive mind, I always regard Sunday as the last day of the week (a sentiment most people share, I reckon), which means it's when most people start getting anxious for dreading to go to work the next day; all the while at the back of my mind I always have to remind myself it's actually the
1st. The beginning.

Ignorant as I am, spending Sundays in my tiny room is heavenly. The sun, the blue sky, my dying plant, my stack of unread books, my soft fluffy pillow, the buses, the buildings and the greenery, the fog, my neighbors...oh, how thankful I am!

Alas, Sundays also mean procrastination, long naps, slow meals, lazy butt, and a plain waste of time. Pls, help me.

Foursome

Twosome & threesome, move over. Foursome is in.

Closer, Sideways, and my lovely friends. We say everything comes in pairs: here it's a pair of pairs. Where does that leave the singletons? Argh.

The grand champion

of the most annoying things you ever come across DEFINATELY is this!

Maiden Post: Hello world!

The Life of David Gale

"Fantasies have to be unrealistic, because the moment, the second you get what you seek, you don’t, you can’t want it anymore. In order to continue to exist, desire must have its objects perpetually absent. It’s not the “it” that you want; it’s the fantasy of “it”. So, desire supports crazy fantasy. This is what Pascal means when he says that we’re only truly happy when daydreaming about future happiness. Or, why we say “The hunt is sweeter than the kill”, or “Be careful what you wish for”. Not because you’ll get it, because you are doomed not to want it once you do. So the lesson of Lecaan is living by your wants will never make you happy. What it means to be fully human is to strive to live by ideas and ideals and not to measure your life by what you’ve attained in terms of your desires but those small moments of integrity, compassion, rationality, even self-sacrifice; because in the end, the only way that we could measure the significance of our own lives is by valuing the lives of others."

Don't get me wrong, I didn't write the above. At least, I wish I could. Kevin Spacey (who I think is one of the greatest living Hollywood actors) uttered those lines in the movie; it rings true and I just feel inspired to put it in my blog. After all, this is just a testing post. Aha! Just kidding.

After years (a bit of exaggeration, but really...) of putting off updating this blog, I decided to actually write something. So, my dear readers, wherever you are, "aloha!" and thank you for reading this far...I hope it's not a 1.5 min waste of your time.
