the thing about friction POSTED AT 05:05 PM i remember once in college an engineering professor once lectured in a structural class how important friction is. friction, how could anything good come out of it... pronunciation: 'frik-sh&n ,n, my professor did say that friction would be unavoidable, even in the seemingly vacuum of space, there are undeniably friction... friction however is far more important down here on earth, friction is the miracle that holds everything in place... from me slipping off the pavement or staying in my chair or stroking the keyboard, to even slowing down wind speed, affecting weather to creating unfortunately disastrous hurricanes. friction is important... how could anything good come out of it. "everybody hates to be misunderstood, and to be understood makes them furious." -esaltus friction would be unavoidable, even in the seemingly openness of intellectual minds, there are undeniably friction. this friction of the psyche however without control or discipline could be injurious. i would not mind pithing reason for reason if only to come to an understanding of where the other side is coming from if agreement is far to unattainable... it is difficult however to barge in locked doors so much more on locked minds. i understand the need for policies and rules in the business and profession, not stringent but flexible, not just sensible but also reasonable... "the aim of an argument or discussion should not be victory, but progress." -jjoubert friction would be unavoidable, sure... that matter of fact i have accepted... but now i come to realize the good that comes out of it... friction hurts because we care and we want to hold on and to not just let go... because we don’t want something good to just slip away.

breaking free POSTED AT 12:22 PM it has been a cold and damp morning today... actually since yesterday... and it has been wonderful staying at home and just sleeping in bed or in the couch... the yuletide smell is lingering in the air... i have been trying to catch the spirit since last week... i have been playing carols in my workstation... maybe i'm trying too hard... maybe. "from a commercial point of view, if Christmas did not exist it would be necessary to invent it." - kwhitehorn i should not be sulking or be sad or be sentimental about the season... i mean, i know a lot of things have not actually gone my way... and a lot of the plans i half-hazardly made in the early part of the year did not materialize, and a lot of to do things in my list are still unchecked... i still have this last few weeks to make good... maybe a little miracle will help... maybe. i have been working hard these past few months and hopefully with all these paying off i will be able to liberate myself financially... free from the shackles of credit my very own mother have clamped on me. it is crucial however that luck would come to my side however for in most part the ball is not on my hand... but i am hopeful... if there is any wish i would like to be granted this season it's got to be this one. "he looks the whole world in the face for he owes not any man." - hwlongfellow i will not be chipping away at the prison wall with tenacious patience, i am going to blow it open with a bazooka... blow away the whole wall... i have to come out of this with a bang... and i don't mind getting a little cut or be bruised up in the process... i am going to hurdle barbwire fences, crawl under sewers... i need to bust out. it is the least i could do this year... it is the least i could do. i'm gonna break free. Reading: again, still nothing... nothing... Listening to: im gonna break free - queen Watching: bleach season 1 Feeling: determined |

tis the season... POSTED AT 07:22 PM it is quite unfortunate that my target mission before the year ends would ever come to fulfilment... i am on the brink of declaring this year as zero accomplishment... but i would not call it a waste though... many things have happened... it is just not the ones i have planned to do... sigh. i guess there are other things to be thankful about though... the new year is just around the corner so i guess it would be right to be resolute again... and again... i ought to be more determined, more in control with my life... and though i have warned, reminded, scolded myself time and again about it... i think it is high time i should take my advices seriously... i ought to beat myself in the head... sigh. but i should not be hard on myself... i mean i would still have to enjoy life as it comes... i should still take the opportunity to make mistake and learn... and learn most specially. "once you choose hope, anything's possible." - creeve happy holidays to everyone and wishing you a merry christmas and a fruitful new year. Reading: still nuttin... Listening to: gimme gimme gimme - eldissa Watching: bleach season 1 Feeling: grateful |
