2013

Hello.

Been a long time since my last post. Sorry, been focusing on my secret tumblr cos it's easier to post there he he.

Anyway..

Well.. can't believe I survived the whole year! 2012 was though tho. A lot of self-discovery, learning process, failure, accomplishment, new friends, new 'teachers', old love, the beginning of new love (haha hope so), etc.

Can't say that I'm excited about this year, because I'm not. Don't ask me about NY resolutions cos I made resolutions on birthdays. I don't know.. Feel scared to make expectations about this year, guess I just have to go through it one day at a time. 

Feel the need (or just wanting it? Dunno) to accomplish some things. Feel huge need to get out from this city and start fresh somewhere. And have this strange feeling that the perfect guy for me is out there, far from this city (or country), waiting.

I don't know.. New years always bring mixed feelings about things for me. Confused. Gonna stop this post right here before I start rambling.

Happy New Year, love.

Friendship

So I was listening to Brad Listi's podcast Episode 123 when he interviewed the author, Sam Pink.

and there's this part where it made me realize and it's like the answer to my recent anxiety. 

Listi was saying something about maintaining friendship.

He said, "..especially as you get older, it requires work, you have to maintain it. When you're in college or you're in some sort of school environment where you all stuck in the same physical space together it's much easier to maintain. But once you're an adult, you all live in separate places and you have your separate lives and jobs and stuff, you have to actually work to spend time together and you know it can easily spin away from you."

It's true man. And it's hard to maintain.

Where Are The Mad Ones?

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.. " - Jack Kerouac

About to watch Kerouac's On The Road. 
But why does it have to be Kristen Steward playing one of the roles? I despise her acting skill. Her flat expression and empty stare bore the hell out of me. The one and only breaking through performance of hers was when she played that sick kid in Panic Room (in my opinion).

Everytime I went to Kinokuniya, stumbling upon books, Kerouac's On The Road has always been one of my desires to own. I don't know why I haven't bought it. Probably because I was too in love with Murakami's and afraid will not match with Kerouac's style?



Who's you favorite author and why?

Now I Can Talk ABout Anything/Anyone Without Being Judged

Just made a new tumblr to write. But I'm not gonna tell you 'cos it's a secret.

*evilgrin*

Top Sites

Just re-arrange my Top Sites :

1st row; Visual Reference : Yayo, FFFFound!, Haw-Lin, JJJJound
2nd row; Literature Reference (and personal journal) : Thought Catalog, MuuMuu House, Tao Lin's Blog, Blogspot
3rd row; Personal Social Media Acc : Facebook, Twitter, Behance, Rockto

This is such an unimportant posting.

Somehow loving my new twitter layout :3

Who's This AD?

TC; Things To Remember When You're Single

Yes. Pathetic, I know. Reading an article with the title "Things To Remember When You're Single".

But it got me thinking to a subject. At the last paragraph, it says :

Remember to have fun. Spend time with your family and friends. Read more. Create something you're proud of. Make your own rules and then break them. Swap spit. Take trips alone. Love yourself. Be selfish without being malevolent. Flirt. Treat yourself to an expensive dinner because you deserve it, you deserve it all.

Love yourself.

Love. Yourself.

Love Yourself. What does it mean?

I've been reading (or crossing) bunch of articles that contain Self-Love. What does it mean?

What is your definition of self-love? 

Why one does not love him/herself? 

Okay, by one I may refer to me.

I mean.. I love myself (obviously), if not I'd be jumping off a bridge right now. (Jk. Not a pretty thing to write on a blog post; suicide). I love myself but sometimes I still wonder why am I still single? (Huahahahaha)

Loving yourself means.. What? Getting what you want/what makes you happy? Keeping yourself save from broken hearts (or the risk of it)? Feeding yourself when you're hungry and drink when you're thirsty? Getting body treatments every once in awhile? Or.. what?

What? What? What? What is your definition of self-love?

I love myself enough, If I can say. But.. Even Dalai Lama said, to reach for inner peace, one must let the happiness of others a priority (I think). But that would hurt ourselves, don't you think? Is it practicing self-love if we put others before us? 

Please someone, give me an enlightenment. This subject been hovering in my mind for quite sometime.

I need a peace of mind and I want some inner peace.

Dear readers (if there's any), 

What is your definition of self-love?

Probably My So-Called-Bible

I have few books I haven't read. But now I'm spending most of my time sitting in a cold office, I have to look for another reading material. 

So since it's 2012 and technology has become something that attached (way too much) to our daily lives, it's not hard to look for digital reading material to read during.

Stroll around and end up here : Thought Catalog.

It got me at the word 'Thought'.

Now every time I got nothing to do I just read a bunch of postings on TC, which has great amount of amazing articles. And probably the next thing I'm going to talk about is few topics from TC which I can personally relate. Stay tune!
