| | i can't find anything more eloquent to say than that 2009 was for the hopeful and 2010 shall be for the practical, hard-hearted, materialistic power suit type. be still my inner flower child cos the bad ass head cheerleader is gonna whip you into shape. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| be yourself, be better than yourself. dont live in doubt; dont follow the pack. start a revolution; standby your choices. live the path you've laid; be thankful for wayward lessons learnt. dont make do with circumstances; make the best of the situation. be as fiery as a storm, but as graceful as a willow.
give yourself more credit, and you will surpass who you imagined yourself to be. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| you know, i use to dread about going to work. i dread about not having my own time to do my own things and the idea that your own time is not yours, but sold to someone... and thats the reason why i believe, that what i say next shocked myself.
i am looking forward to work. no it is not so much that its a newer and hopefully better place for me ( ok so maybe it is) but the fact that i realised that there is a place and reason for everything and work is one of them. not in the commercialized-and-how -it-drives-the-individual-to-a-better-economic-promise-of-tomorrow sense but more of the philosophical or rather the aspect of work in relations to life aspect of it.
i have been not working for the past 3 weeks and i did think that it would be the best time of my life. after all, there was so much that i wanted to do and so much that i wanted to see but after nearly coming out of this vacation of sorts, i believe that what i reliased at the end of this stint, is probably the most productive thing that has came out of it.
work: the bane of our existence and yet, it is the very anchor that grounds us. without work, there will be no struggles, no battle, no sense of camaraderie, sense of achievement, dread, happiness, satisfactions, dissatisfactions, the realization of the importance of time or the lack of it. work in a sense, give us something to think about; a driving force of what we truly would like to do, a contrast to show us that we could do things better, run things better; be better people, be more grateful for little things like time and time with friends.
you can say that human are flawed that way, or even programmed that way. we are greedy in nature and we have our egos and pride: without comparing or losing something or the urge to be better or more successful, we become people with no driving force and no aim. without boundaries, we have nothing to push against, to fight against.
my point of this entry? well i will say that i am no longer going to reject work and to hate it with a passion; because without work, there is nothing left for me to hate and thus, to love and treasure.
yes i do hate work and i am not expecting myself to love it. not everyone has the pleasure of loving what they do. but today, i truly understand and accept that i hate work and so does the millions of people out there. so, sorry to burst the bubble but there is no such thing as the perfect job. it is how you make out of it. | comments: 7 comments or Leave a comment  |

| things to do:
1. be in a state of enchantment to think that i am not a by-product of an assembly line.
2. be delusional to believe that THIS is not just it.
3. smack myself at the back of my head and make those illusions into reality.
yes it can be done. i am hopeful.

| happiness is worth fighting for.
why is it that we still have to fight just to be happy?
is being happy, without the drama, the mood swings, make it less of a happiness?
feels like an endless war zone out here. ... and they (dare) say that war is over, | comments: Leave a comment  |
