A merry-go-round of feelings...


If there were a single point in my life that would qualify as life changing, it would most definitely be getting to know this girl. I've learned so much from her and my experiences with her. It feels very strange today thinking that I once did not know anything about her. Back then, I never thought or expected that I'd see her more than just a friend. Love is such a powerful emotion. It makes one act so differently, sometimes making him a totally different person. It makes one say things that are so sincere that he would never have been able say otherwise. It gives one sleepless nights. It gives happiness that is so warm and true. Love will give you pain definitely, but it's feeling is paralleled by none. I now am consumed by this deadly emotion, with pain and joy juggling in me. In the end, I only see her and nothing else. I live my life for her.

Deviant...


This is a picture of myself which was taken about two months ago. When someone sees me for the first time, the first thing that would probably pop in his mind would be the question, why does this guy have odd looking hair? I've seen many and varying reactions since I had my hair bleached. Some would say that it looks really cool and they would like to try it as well. Others just stare at me, probably thinking that I'm an idiot. Strangely enough, older folks seem to be fascinated and I always get the compliment that I resemble Rod Stewart and I don't know why. I like being different. I just have this urge to do things that would set me apart from the infinity of people in society. I must make an identity for myself. The things I do to be different is of course not restricted to physical appearance. Competition and such are always good opportunities to prove myself. I just can't see myself living a life that is plain and ordinary.

Don't change...


This is a very unsightly picture of my bed or at least it was. Everytime get home, I would just dump all my stuff on my bed and leave it there. And now, everything is a mess. I would love to organize everything but I can't. I'm so used to how I use my bed this way that making what would seem as minor change just seems so difficult. Making changes has always been so hard to do even if doing so would most probably be for my own good anyway. I don't know if I'm just too lazy to act or even just think on things. I must face and conquer my fear of making changes, though that in itself would be making a change.

A speedy lifestyle...


This picture was taken this morning at the skyway. I was going a little over 210kph when I ran out of road and traffic was fast approaching. At those speeds, you'll only hear the noise of wind being cut by the car's exterior and see everything else moving so slow as if time had stopped. Only by driving at those speeds do I feel so free. I forget everything else, even those that really matter, and just enjoy the experience of being introduced to the laws of physics once again. Nothing else gives me this kind of adrenaline rush. The presence of risk, however, is always there but that just makes things even more exciting. Whenever I experience loosing control of the car(no other cars involved), it just gives a smile to my face. It's probably because driving the same way every single day tends to get boring at some time and any new form of stimulus feels so refreshing. As stupid as I may seem, this is my passion and nothing can stop me.

I want to know...


I believe that we, as humans, are very different from the rest of the inhabitants of this world because we have this seemingly endless search for knowledge. What we have achieved through time defines how much we already know. Learning new things had always been such a joy for me. Back then when I was significantly less mature, I'd spend hours and hours watching discovery channel. From then on, I've realized that science can answer anything, even though some answers remain hypothetical at the very most. I'd imagine myself as a bank where constants deposits of new knowledge flow. The more I learn, the better I become. Having that said, every opportunity to learn something new should never be passed up. I once heard in a symposium about the existence of god that the anti-thesis of religion is not science, but rather, it is the lack of desire to seek knowledge.
