Nothing to something

I was trying to put up something light over this blog, but after three hopeful attempts to it. I ended up with this one.

Nothing.

All ideas are flowing like water from the faucet down to the drain. Nothing is left but remnants of each thought, that I cannot put up for one coherent post.

Oh well, as I quote from a favorite line of a song somebody brought up to me.. 'When you're searching your soul, when you're searching for pleasure, how often pain is all you find. But when you're coasting along and nobody's trying too hard. You can turn around and like where you are'.

And now I am trying to make something out of nothing. Good good:)

I now realize that I am missing a lot of people now. Those people that I used to talk to everyday. That I used to see everyday. That I shed some 'tear' when I am caught up in a mess. That I have been sharing with glorious moments with. Some years ago when we would spend some time just talking about nothing. Even if the topics are just repeating itself, the laughter never wanes. We could not stop talking. Only if not for my mom or an exam or a pestering brother who keeps on bugging me to use the phone, it wouldn't end. I don't know if it's me who really can't stop talking, or you who wouldn't stop listening and injecting snippets of your own stories:P So I end up telling my story again where I started:D

To those people that just might be too far, or even to those who are far too close, I miss you. I know I can't bring it all back, but I hope it doesn't stop there. I hope we could still pick ourselves where we have left off. That's what true friends really are:) Even if we had our petty fights and our sulky sorries. Even if things have changed...

Leap of Faith

First of Summer - Urbandub, I quote -- "This heartfelt leap I surrender".

So when do we actually take that infamous "Leap of Faith"? What does it actually mean? How do we know that we should? Who should?

I asked my ever reliable companion, GOOGLE and here's what he had in store for me:
Leap of faith defined: is the act of believing in something without, or in spite of, available empirical evidence.

Operative words:
1. Empirical. Whoa. And when did I actually last hear the word "Empirical"?! You wouldn't believe that I still remember the exact person, exact time, and exact facial expression she had while uttering the word.. "Em-pi-ri-cal". My gosh, my hatest Chemistry teacher back in third year highschool. Sounds nostalgic isn't it? I had my fingers counting to back track how many years was it then.. Blech! But as I remembered, she was explaining (with her shoulder pads flying across the class room:P) Empirical relies on observation. Based on experience. Theories banned.
2. Faith. Mostly in religion context, coined with trust and loyalty. But what exactly faith means? Some say that it is just obscuring a state of fear or denial.. and that it is used as a shield for fear when truth is unattainable. However, as I have defined it myself, or with which some definitions I truly agree upon is that -- Faith, more than a belief and a state, is a relationship that we have fully surrendered to have embraced upon. We do not need proof or any logic explanation why we have committed ourselves into it. And that doubt is completely inadmissible.

So when do we actually take that leap of faith? Besides EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE and the presence of INDUBITABLE FAITH. Even if the irony of absolute uncertainty has pre-occupied your mindset, the strength of your heart's uttered trust and belief must alleviate with compassion.

You can take half the step. But not a leap. Faith comes with entirety, you either lose it with all doubts or embrace it with complete surrender.

Yet Another Test

Hehehe. Thanks to Wyleen for this;) I was interested because I love writing. Although at first I didn't know what to right, and was a bit conscious on my strokes. So here it is. I think it got me, close enough:P

What does your handwriting say about YOU?
You plan ahead, and are interested in beauty, design, outward appearance, and symmetry.
You are a shy, idealistic person who does not find it easy to have relationships, especially intimate ones.
You are affectionate, passionate, expressive, and future-oriented.
You are a talkative person, maybe even a busybody!
You enjoy life in your own way and do not depend on the opinions of others.

Objections are fully accepted. *Blapht*

Cigarette

Government Warning: Cigarette smoking is bad for your health.
Some things I learned about life, I learned from a cigarette.

Sometimes, we'll never really know what we're getting until we give it a try. Even if at the very start you know that it won't do you any good, you'll never realise the good and bad side of it unless you are ACTUALLY into it.

Not all the 'bad things' are totally BAD. Likewise not all 'good things' turn out to be really GOOD. Again, the theory of relativity. Sometimes the good become bad to certain circumstances. Sometimes the bad becomes good, depending how a person works it out to be of advantage to him.

Not all we want turns out what we need. And not all of what we need is given to us.

Don't do something just because some people tells you so.

There are just some things in life that were made to hurt you. Even at that, all things are made purposely.

Though there are certain societal norms that build typecasting of influence (specifically, BAD that is), an individual should be at least more careful with that.

Your problems will not go with a *PUFF*

In love and in life, just like a cigarette, will make you addicted to it. At first you'll be at HIGH. But later, you'll never know you're a slave of it. You'll never know what you're losing unless you're in pain.


No, I haven't tried hitting on it. Not even the thought of letting that stick touch my lips. And more than me giving a puff, that smoke coming out of a person's mouth (sometimes thru his nose) is a threat.
