Two months have past... i went home, had some fun and added one more person to my short list of loved ones...now the time has come to get back to my routine... the same old same old school routine which i have taken up for the past year... Back in canada and back in school... teachers are great, life here is great and students...well... they're ok... and as usual...life goes on...it has to..
Fear; to some people, a measure of courage... to others, a subject better left behind the shut cache... fear can come in many forms; fear of creepy crawlers, fear of heights, fear of commitment, fear of death, fear of failure, fear of dissapointing others, and sometimes, the fear of fear itself...
Fear deprives us of our guts, our audacity, our endurance... and yet at the same time, fear could unleash our greatest, most invicible predominance... Fear could cause some to flee without thought, without hesitation, without wits but with the speed of light... fear could also cause some to stand their ground and fight.. courage driven by fear, ironic but true... My greatest fear on the other hand, cant be solved or overcomed by running or fighting... cant be overcomed by mere bones and muscles... cant be overcomed by kicking and screaming... My fear goes far beyond the physical ways of us feeble mortals... The fear of losing someone, the fear of losing a loved one, a cherished one, a dearest one... How could that fear ever be overcomed? how can this fear of which can never be predicted or manipulated be overcomed? How can a fear of which can't be reached, touched or felt be overcomed by mere mortals? How can a man live without his loved ones? How can a man go on without the affection, amity, or amour of those whom he loves so much that he cant let go? How will anyone succeed in life without the utter presence of a loved one? Fear has not deprived me of anything... fear has driven me to hang on... as long as i can... to the ones i love and hold dearest... to live life to the fullest....

Respect it, Cherish it, Live it
In this barely surviving, twisted generation... People are often meandered by their own ignorance... Many people these days blame their inedequacies on history. Do not be mistaken, the past is what has made our future... However, blaming our forefathers for our blemish or incompetence is the source of all irresponsibility... The lack of the will to fulfill our own responsibilities causes most people to blame our history... For those who still dont quite get where I'm getting to, here's an example...a person of an Aboriginal decent who blames the white man for mistreating them in the past which has ultimately detained their potential... this statement is not directed as a stereotypical statement... but the truth remains, this is an issue currently being argued by many people... yes... no doubt about the mistreatment of Aboriginals in the PAST... but this is the present and all men are equal now... every man is granted with the equal education and job opportunities aqnd ultimately equal rights... This situation is exactly what many people and races are debating... Same goes for the black, white, asian, hispanic, pacific islander, and other ethnic groups... the fact remains the same... people have fought throughout history for the rights as a human being... what we should be doing is to appreciate and respect their effort and sacrifices; instead of continually setting implications of discontent and dissatisfactory... Instead of pushing our responsibilities towards our forefathers... instead of denouncing our forefathers with our incompetence... In this day and age, people are born with equal rights, whether black, white or any colour or race... the human rights are granted to all humans .... respect it, cherish it, live it...
Word of God
Yesterday's passing makes it just another day closer to home... Havent been doing much today besides some cleaning up here and thr... aside from that, the birds are chirping, the wind is dancing and the trees are waving... so i guess u could say that its all good... todays post might appear to be a little religious in a way... dont mean to preach or anything but just pointing out my views on this... all readers who are easily offended by religious matters... do not bother reading this post... btw, this blog was written for a religion class...
In Matthew 25:31 to 25:40, it is written, and I quote " For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me." and also "The King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of my brethren, you did it to Me". These verses are actually quite straight forward and clear to the people. However, People do not always grasp the simplest of concepts. In this passage, God intended His people to understand that by helping others in need, you are in return serving Him as intended. This verse brings me back to goodness. Through this verse, the word of God explains the depth of goodness itself. Goodness is not done to receive worldly rewards. However, God will grant His rewards. These rewards are not granted because of the mere act of goodness but the sincerity of goodness itself. Just as Matthew 25:37 to 25:39 stated that "when have we ever done these things for God?". Only the righteous will ask this question of sincerity and pureness. They who do not look for a reward for the goodness achieved are the ones who will in return receive the greatest reward of all; the God-given reward. Ultimately, this statement applies to us all. Helping others in need for the very sincerity of goodness is the way of life; whether you're helping a family, friend, stranger or an enemy. In the eyes of God, we're all equally smart, equally loved and equally foolish. The identity of the person you're helping does not change the fact that by helping someone, you're in return helping God's people and serving Him. I believe that this statement of truth further requires us to question ourselves. How many times are we willing to forgive a brother, a friend or an enemy? How far would you go to prevent harm from a friend or foe? How many of us would actually even consider to help a stranger in need? Ultimately, how much are you willing to offer a friend or foe? The list of questions are unlimited and new questions continue to arise. One thing's for sure; when the time comes for us, humans to be judged by our God, our goodness and sincerity will not go unsaid.

Spirituality
well...after 10 months, classes are finally over and done with... my exams are officially over and now, time for one long summer break... going back to home sweet home... long awaited journey... Just another post for the readers to enjoy...
Spirituality is often known as a property or income owned by the church. In fact, it is defined as "Something, such as property or revenue, that belongs to the church or to a cleric." in the dictionary. Churches were never supposed to be the ONLY ground of spirituality. Churches are linked to spirituality but that does not mean that churches are spirituality itself. Spirituality, to me, is the will to serve; serve God and His people. The word of God I feel has emphasized on this point over and over again; :love thy neighbor, keep your enemies close, even when Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. The humbleness to serve is the key to spirituality. When a man is willing to care for another, despite worldly possessions and living status, he has ultimately learned to respect another human being. The humility to serve will ultimately teach a person the meaning of respect, to accept people as they are, to be non judgemental; instead of judging a person by his/her looks. Humility does not mean to have a low self-esteem but on the contrary, to have the maturity and the rationality and most of all the simplicity to put spirituality ahead of all worldly possessions. Spirituality is not ruled by the church, it is to be encouraged by the church. To put it in simplest words, spirituality is, to me, communication with God. God's presence extends further than just the church and can be enjoyed anywhere we stand. Spirituality teaches even the toughest ruffian the meaning of simplicity, humility, appreciation, respect, communication, and most of all, it teaches people to love. Before God we are all equally wise and equally foolish.

Goodness
It's been quite a while since i have even posted anything up... I guess since exams have kept me busy for a while... the last post was at the end of april... and now june is coming to an end.. one last final final exam on monday....finally... summer break... and HOME SWEET HOMe... just one more exam... and lets just hope for the best.. well... I have a few posts to publish... Here goess...
Goodness is defined as the state or quality of being good in the dictionary. In the eyes of commoners, many see goodness as anything beneficial or pleasurable. The world defines goodness just as the dictionary defines it. I, on the other hand, believe that goodness cannot just be obtained from anyone or anything. Goodness to me only comes from those who are sincere. The sincerity of those people is the source of all that is pure and good. Many people often get confused over worldly goodness and the true goodness intended by God. Pride has taken over many of our concerns. We are now more concerned over the prosperity of money which many of us find to be the greatest "good" of all humanity. Most of the world is more consumed by the thought of worldly wealth; not for the better of humanity but for the better of an individual. Goodness has become just a word to express delight nowadays. However, goodness does not come from mere enjoyment of a certain activity. Smoking, drugs and sex might be enjoyable but it is not necessarily good. That does not mean goodness must be endured in pain and suffering. Goodness can be enjoyed through helping others in need; not to receive a reward but just out of the kindness and sincerity of the heart. The will to endure the pain and burden with a friend just because he/she is a friend or even if he/she's not a friend. As the saying goes "Keep your enemies closer to you than your neighbors". This does not mean to track every movement of your enemy as a precaution but to forgive an enemy out of sheer goodness; to make an enemy a close friend is the biggest challenge of all goodness. Goodness is not carried out for the sake of rewards or redemption or a mere compensation of past sins. Goodness comes from those who are willing to give their best to people; family, friends, strangers and even enemies.

Seed of Life
Last time i published any post was quite some time ago i guess... havent been doin much lately besides reading, watching an anime series and school as usual... oo...yeh and have been trying my very hardest to contact a couple of frens... well... i guess they too are busy with school and all... can't blame them for going to school rite.... can't wait for all the new movies to come... davinci code, X-men3, M-I3, and so on... all coming out in may... well thr goes another 50 bucks...haihz... i guess thats coming out from my weekly allowance...
The seed...The seed is a necessity to the lives of those who roam upon this enchanted lands of humanity... This seed is so imense that it could be heard from far away in space... This seed of which I speak of does not involve the budding of plants or the sprouting of crops but the blooming of ones character... The sprouting of ones attitude... The beginning of a personality...
(now, back to the language of the rather common people)...A seed... a seed has to be planted in every one of our hearts as we were once infants and toddlers... all of which is then, now and will be originates back to the long-ago planted seed... This very same seed is not identical to our brothers', sisters' or friends'... these seeds are similar to seeds of varied plants... and just as a rose may bloom slower than a sunflower, a man's true personality blooms at different times, rates and velocity as his fellow mortals... This seed is planted in us by our parents, by our brothers and sisters.... by God... when we were too young to acknowledge reality... However, experience is needed to nurture and grow this very seed of life... This seed is not just limited to words, it is extended to experiences; emotional and physical... That is why Alexander GrahamBell invented the phone(deaf mother)... That is why Gandhi turned to be who he is(poverty and harsh experiences)... heck, that is why Hitler turned out to be a Nazi leader(harsh childhood)... and that is also why I am who I am... Parents, brothers, sisters, family, friends have all once planted seeds in our very minds and hearts... the very same seeds which grow in a matter of years or even months...
However(theres always a however), these seeds cannot be interpreted as an excuse of the person which sprouts out of it... Life is what you make of it... The seed planted is only a guide-line to life... the rest, the watering and the fertilizing is up to the owner... The seeds do not determine a man's life... Hitler for example... he had grown to be a man of such anger, outrage and enmity which inflames his very heart with discrimination and antagonism... His harsh childhood became an excuse for his deranged mentality... He wasn't born to be harmful... he was just mislead somewhere along the lines of his life... Gandhi, on the other hand took his harsh experiences and turned it into a reason to strive and help those who have experienced the life of his own... to bring the suffering of his fellow brothers to a standstill through peace...

Love Thy Neighbor
Gone through quite a few days without publishing any posts now... and frankly, I really miss it... Being busy cannot stand as an excuse for me not to blog as I wasnt even busy... however, i have been doing a little thinking lately.... about life and God, our creator... So for those who are easily offended by religious posts... please excuse me and ignore this blog if you want to... I hope I do not get too much into religion...
I have been reading this christian novel...as surprising or unreal as it may seem, it is true... This novel has actually got me thinking once again... thinking of issues which concern me and all of man-kind in fact... It is stated in the bible that "you shall love thy neighbor as yourself"(second greatest commandment) ... this phrase has probably surpassed the ears of many of us commoners before... but.... but how many of us actually register this statement of truth in our corrupt minds?? how many of us actually apply this phrase in our daily lives of senseless pollution?? how many of us actually... and i mean truly grasp the depth of this statement... It is stated as the second greatest commandment for a pure and simple reason actually...
And this reason remains simple even till this very day... despite the arisings of complications... This statement attains its rank from its caliber... the importance of this statement explains it all...I for one, believe the very words of this phrase is actually the answer to the ultimate question... How do we attain worldpeace??? With the adoption of this statement in our everyday lives, peace will not have to be an issue of distress and tension... This statement explains that love everyone as you may love yourself... So, unless you are a one of those berserk suicide bomber crackhead fanatic, this shouldn't be much of a dilemma... This ultimately means... love everyone, despite their acts, despite their words, despite their thoughts... Those who forgive are those who are loved... Learn from your mistakes and those of others... Jesus sacrificed himself for the very same people who discriminated Him... the very same people who accused Him of blasphemy... Despite all that, can't we act as people of virtue and respect?? Can't we repay Him in this small little way?? can't we ultimately decide on ending this society of the moronic catastrophe and this demented age of enmity and hostilities???

be yourself
Just another day passed by with school, sleep, reading and now blogging...and later even more sleep... Turns out that my social exam was just as I expected... haihz... all that I had studied was not exactly worth it... well....knowledge is its own reward... but most of the questions on the exam were based on the few forgotten materials.... the ones which I had not taken notes on... well, i did get 34/50 which was basically the class average...
Children, teenagers and even a certain number of adults nowadays are overrun with the feeling of dissatisfaction towards their own physical and mental situation.... These people are frequently bothered by the "what if"s and "if only"s.... these discontents and desolations has driven these people into drastic measures... these people have turned to their last resort... they pretend to be someone or something they're not... they reduplicate the people of the "normal" standards... Achieving this "normal" standard seems to be the only way of 'fitting in' this corrupt and judgemental almost-broken-down society...
If this is what it takes to be "accepted", is this really worth the act?? Does acting through your whole life really make you that different?? Does faking the mere existence of your presence reduce anymore of the real you?? Does hiding your true self behind a mask really conceal yourself?? Isn't that counted as bluffing yourself?? In impersonating other characters, isn't that just as entertaining as a mere mime?? Just another human who hasn't the character or emotions of oneself?? Does cloning others not just degrade oneself to that of an artificial intelligence?? Let me rephrase that... artificial stupidity??? Just another dumb-trick?? another fiddle-faddle?? another absurdity??
Have we truely forgotten the meaning of self-expression??

Life's Purpose
Past week or two has been such a "blah" week... Nothing much to it... same old same old until today... Because I have social exam tomorrow... and I dont think I'll be doing too good... Although i have studied... but somehow, the material I do study doesnt seem to appear on the exam paper... which is quite dissapointing actually... well anyways... hope it all goes fine... As to my current post, I have been reading this book "How to live life on purpose"... and this author, this book actually is quite straight forward and true as a matter of fact...
Life is defined as a matter of the existence of an organism... wether human, animal, or plant... we all exist in this world... Purpose is defined as the object toward which one strives or for which something exists... These two words, these two terms... are differential... However, they are linked together as a parent is linked to their infant... Without the parent, there can be no infant... Without the parent, the infant is non-existent... Just as life and purpose... Life is absurd, blank, just another empty bottle if not for purpose... my point is... to live without a purpose is not to live at all... it is just like living in idleness... Without a purpose, the mere existence of an organism is useless, vain, nonsensical... If a man lives through his whole life without realizing this, this man is obselete... this man is not in service in other words...
To have a purpose is to have a vision... A vision is the source of all purpose... a vision of the honorable gives birth to a purpose worth living for... The very same vision which keeps a person away from the grasp of resignition... the very same vision which motivates a man's spirit... The one thing which can only be given up without being taken... The very same vision which keeps a man clinging on to the things he truly cares for... The things which a man could live and die for... The very same vision which could drive a whole society, community or even a whole world of fellow humans...

Conscience
Haven't published any post for the past few days now... Not that I was busy or anything, just hadn't the mood or more so the topic... The past week has been my spring break... and now, I'm about to go back to school... well... I guess the holidays were fun while it lasted... watched a whole load of movies... at least I'm up-to-date with movies now... last night was spent on finishing up my homework and home-project... So in a way, it wasn't exactly last-minute... although I did procrastinate... Well, the good news is that I'm done with all my work...
There are mainly two distinct types of characeteristics of an average human...The unprincipled and the conscientious... By that, i mean the moral and the immoral in other words... People of the immoral and the unprincipled plague this already corrupt world with their fiendish acts and disregarding characters... The very same characters which can pollute the mind of a 5-year-old... The very same characters which corrupt our countries(also known as politicians)... The very same characters which are heedless and reckless against our all-so-frail society of civilization... These unprincipled, uncivilized, rapacious race play a role in this enchanted world as the bad apple, the black sheep, the calamitous snake, the unwanted inhabitants...
The conscientious, however, are the heroes of this generation... These common people which undoubtedly earn an honest living keep this fragile community from falling apart... These conscientious mortals provide the society with a windfall of ace and admirable character... The backbone of our human race in other words... These conscientious commendable gratifying characters are the only foundation of this tainted and unwholesome world... These people give us the only good in this world ... they give us a reason to live as God essentially desires... As most of us yearn for... As most of us crave for...

History
Today was a great day if I may say so... never been better in fact... I watched the long anticipated V for Vendetta... Not an everbody-show... I loved it...i gotta say that... but not everyone would enjoy this movie i guess... Also, I had the time to watch three other movies... Elizabethtown, School of Rock and Ice Age... All good movies... and on top of that... I got about half of my work done... and to butter it all up... I bought a book...
History... Some forgotten, some written and some studied... Most significant events were recorded down on history books... Leaving the people of the present to learn about their fore-fathers... Some history were forgotten past, never recorded, wether because of the lack of intelligence or the reluctance to compose the abhorrent... Either way, these historians have gone down unsaid, unheard, disremembered... Most of us humans, do not exactly appreciate the abyss of this "history"... Most of us humans, go through our everyday-lives without realizing that all that is now roots way back from the makings of our forefathers... Most of us humans, live our whole life not knowing that all that is now good and free was once fought and died for in history...
History might merely be a word to most people out there... history might just be another subject for those students who are just trying to get through their education... History might be nothing more than a tale of a grumpy old man to some... No matter how this topic is looked at, history remains the foundation of this, so called, "civilization"... Keep in mind that history is the fights and disputes of our forefathers who were sacrificing their lives just for our convenience or benefits...most of those heroic men knew very well that they wouldn't be able to experience this "age of civilization" and yet, they stood and argued... they stood and fought... they stood and died... just so that we, now, could have our luxury of freedom or the human rights or even well-deserved education... Despite all these sacrifices, people(not only children) go on ranting about having to learn how our forefathers fought or how they lived and died... Despite all these sacrifices, people still do not appreciate their advantages... Despite these sacrifices, the very same advantages which were killed and died for, which was once exalted and commemorated, are now taken for granted and vaguely remembered... or even disremembered for that fact... comdemned from its throne... Forgotten by all.....

What if...???
Today hasn't been such a bad day... considering I'm on my one week break... Nothing much do....Guess I got to start on my math project pretty soon... Besides that, I have been sitting down and watching tv as promised... Domino and Initial D... weird combinations but both movies worth the time... and by the way, I can't believe Domino is based on a true story... The days are getting unpredictable... Today's post relates to God, and those of you'll who do not exactly agree or consent, please don't take any offense...
God once said that He would return to earth... That He would once again descend upon this place we call earth... What if God were to return to earth once again in the form of an insignificant carpenter working on the streets of New York... What if God were to descend upon us in disguise of a shoe-maker amongst the people of New Jersey... What if God were to appear on the vast lands of Canada.... What if.... What will we feeble humans do? How will we react to His holy and exalted presence... Will we once again accuse Him of blasphemy? Will we once again distrust our very Master, Lord Almighty, our very King.... The creator of all mankind... Will we brush Him aside as man had once done? Will we once again deny our King, our Creator, the Alpha and Omega of all.... Will we once again deny our God of recognition and admission?? Will we once again ignore His teachings and miracles??
Or will we tremble in joy in the presence of our Lord?? Will we accept His words and teachings as we accepted life?? Will we learn to acknowledge the very omnipresence of our Father? Will we stand before Him in ore ready to be judged by Him?? Will we grasp and cherish His companionship and at the same time respect and worship His leadership? Will we finally learn from our past mistakes?? will we finally learn from History....Will we finally???

Rights
Spring break has just begun... fortunately... No plans for this holiday though... Only plan is to sit at home and enjoy my tranquility... and for those of you'll who think that relaxation is just wasting a holiday, thats the way I like... Just rented a couple of movies too... domino and cinderella man... Should be great... will be watching it later...
Rights... This word does not merely describe the correct and incorrect... This word also explains equality and inequality... The rights of the creations of God... The human rights, animal rights, and the well-deserved rights of nature itself... Most people take these rights no more than the freedom which was fought and died for... Rights... This term has been fought for... verbally and physically... Lives have been sacrificed willingly and relentlessly for these rights... Some go down in history and sadly, some don't... Taking advantage of these rights are just blatant and dishonorable... Rights are meant to be respected as it has once been exalted... These rights were once esteemed as life was once cherished...
Rights are not an advantage waiting to be used against another... Rights are not "man-made".. Rights are the very caliber of a community... It supports our frail society of the foul and malevolent... Rights decide between the appropriate and the unjust... It draws the line between the admissible and the unsuitable... The lawful and the unfair... Rights are the conscientious and ethical inheritant of any born child of any race, religion or colour... Rights are adapted... Rights are earned... Rights are deserved....

Judgment Day
One more day passes by like any other... only thing is today I missed my first class... First and only time i hope, my bus actually did not come... I mean the bus did not stop at the bus stop... We, 15 patient student, waited for the bus for at least 30 minutes... and so we went home and some stayed at home and the rest of us took the public bus which only got us to the school 5 minutes before the next period... haihz....what a way to start the morning... Anyways, off to start a new post and i'll try to do this fast and nice... (because I am kinda sleepy)
The only fate we humans have ultimately is death... and as death swallows your very soul... and sooner or later it will... and as death come upon us... the only thing that drowns the minds of these victims is the judgment day... The day that we are ultimately judged by God, the only One worthy of anticipation... The day that we meet our doom on earth and live on in a higher place (or a place of adversary)... The day that life on earth is no more... The day that our actions on earth are appraised by God Himself... and the pre-eminent question is... what will you do? How will you respond when you're judged? How will you answer to the utmost judgment?
Will you face God as a miraculous creation of His or as a freak accident of a parent?? Will you face Him as a man of honour or as a disgrace of society?? Will you, when the time comes, act as a civil man or as a savage animal?? When the time comes, all these will not matter, for God sees us all as His creation... Every man is equal through His gentle and loving eyes... The very same eyes of a parent towards a child...and for when the time comes, all thoughts come to a standstill... The only thing that matters now is if you are willing to accept God, to walk along side His presence in heaven, to receive His love with open arms, to nurture and nourish the love of God as He had(and will) always cherished us, his children, for who we are, for who we were made to be... For who we were born to be...

Responsibility
Just another day of the weekend... Lazing around for almost the whole day... went to a friend's place to laze around for the rest of the day and i just came back after a three hour or so visit... Watched chill factor today.... kind off an old one, not a bad one, but nothing great.... expected more from Cuba Gooding Jr.... pitiful actually.... coming from the man who acted in Men of Honour and Pearl Harbor and this??....haihz.... anyways....besides all this senseless activities... all goes as usual...life goes on...
Responsibilty... A word strong enough to crush a titan...if used wisely... As any person would or would not say, responsibilties are the essence of our everyday lives... Responsibilities come along with the very essence of freedom...The mere essence of life itself unfolds this word... Responsibilities are sewed into the very flesh and blood of our frail human bodies... Just like duties, responsibilities are the backbone of a civil community... The foundation of an elaborate building of society... The principal roots of humans, people...civilization... Humanity as we know it involves the evolution of responsibilities....
However, how many of us truely knows what this word is... We do know what it stands for and the technical definition of it... But do we truely know the depth of this word... Without responsibilities... we humans will not be (self-implied) calling ourselves "civil"... Without responsibilties... we humans will not even have the slightest idea of hopes and dreams... Responsibilities give us hope, life and dreams... Responsibilities make us who we are now... "Humans"

Selfish
Today was one of those long dreary days where you just ask yourself... When will the day end? haihz... Just another long, drab, drag, weary and boring day.... First period: Science, sub teacher, 2nd period: Math, exam... 3rd Period: CALM, a ridiculous class... a fool's errand, lost cause, wasted effort.... haihz....
Egoistic, egocentric, egotistic and egomaniacal..... All of which enfolds these three letters: Ego ; however, at the very same time, these words represent the grudging and voracious word: Selfishness... Children are warned by their parents at a young age that this greedy word is not a trait of honour or respect... most parents are careful to teach their children the depth of this word as their children bloom into adolescents... Adults try their best to set a good example for younger children to discard this rapacious word full of jealousy and stuck-up ignorance... And yet... yet... All children end up being self-centered at one point or another... Some more than others... If it is to betray a friend for the convenience of yourself, or to abandon your parents as they age silently... Despite everything, selfishness is all about "YOU"... and you only...
This goes unexplained but... when a stranger realizes a person is selfish... The blame immediately turns to the parents... "their parents must be selfish" or "they have bad parents" or the all so famous "they must have got that from their parents".... Despite the fact that the parents have busted the necks to educate their children, the blame remains hanging over their shoulders... Despite the fact that the parents are the most giving people within a 500mile radius, they are still to blame... Despite the fact that the parents are saints and try their best to prevent harm such as this word, Selfish, to prevail amongst their children, the fingers blatantly point towards them... Ignorant fingers of the malicious society... All of whom remain hypocrites, backsliders... hiding shamelessly behind the masks of the rotten society....

Lesson to be Learnt
Just another common day passes by... As we all continue on with our lives aimless each day... And yet, we still prevail... Another exam tomorrow, Math... just done studying for it... Hope that it'll work out well... My eyes are heavy, I feel a little sleepy... So, I'll try my best to write my way through...
As I wondered through this weary day aimlessly, my mind was gushed with memories... Childhood memories... As I flashback to the times of my foolishness and mischief, I recall a short story I once(more than once) heard from my father... It goes something like this... bear with me for a while... I will get ot the point right after this story... "A young black boy was strolling in the park undirected... And as he looks up to the vast blue skies... He spots a balloon... A white balloon to be exact... This balloon came from the park... he moved towards this section and he sees a tall man in his early 30's selling balloons to children no more older than him... And every 5minutes, this man releases a balloon into the sky to attract the attention of children... This black boy was distressed by a question... the boy asks the balloon salesman... If you let a black balloon into the air, will it float too?... The man answer, Why, of course... the man lets a black balloon drift through the skies... Then he looks to the boy and tells him... The colour of the balloon does not matter, it is what's on the inside that makes the balloon float"... This story does not exactly end here(i think)...but thats as far as i go for now... well... the point is... This young black boy learns that the colour of the skin does not really make a man... In fact, it is only the inside, the soul of a person which forges a true man... it is the heart of a person initiates the mold of a man... it is the person inside which fabricates a man of honour, trust and worthy... This is the lesson to be learnt...
However, what has the world come to? What has this wretched world come to... to be able to brainwash a young innocent child into thinking that he is not worthy of himself? What has this sordid world become... to be able to manipulate a child into thinking that he does not deserve to live like the any other? Has this pitiful world degraded into a place of such absolute remorse, such affliction, such sorrow... To be able to diminish the confidence of a child based on his bare skin colour? Is he to peel his skin off in order to be accepted by the community? Is he to bleach his very body just to be aprroved by the society of ignorance? Is he not just as worthy and honourable as any other?Is he not a miracle of God?

Value of Life
Past couple of days have been all about watching tv and listening to music just to do something... Just to past time... Something to do... Aside from renting movies and playing games... The only thing good bout weekend is the abscence of school... Actually, not the abscence of school... but the presence of sleep...Since I have been up to basically nothing, i'll try to redeem myself through my unstable thoughts and ferociuos words...
Well.... watching this movie "Weather Man"... got me really thinking about life again... It got me thinking about not only the meaning of life but life itself... Got me thinking about Where will life lead us to... Who are we in life and most of all.... The value of life... Destiny and fate is how some people answer the question where... I, for one, do not believe in feng shui or destiny or any of those mambo-jamboo.... It might be entertaining at moments of absolute disinterest... but thats as far as it goes.... the line is firmly drawn right there... these superstitions are, to me, no more than shere amusement.... God holds all our life in the palm of his hands... We are created by Him, we live by His rules and most of all, we live through Him... As for the question who we are in life... That is pretty simple through my eyes actually.... Life is an instrument... We use it the way we feel fit... No matter how many lesson you take, that instrument remains an instrument of mere will... You are who you want to be... Influencial factors such as God or parents, family or friends can only guide you, the rest is up to you... a man has got to do what a man's got to do...
However, when the pages turn to the value of life... It leaves a man wondering... In every man's life, there comes a question where no man is qualified to answer... What is the value of life... Life, to some people, might not mean much.... but to the rest of us, life is a chapter of dominance, an issue of superiority , a title by itself supreme, a topic worthy of time... Life can't be judged by a jury or by a supreme court... No man is worthy of answering this question... If a companion is dying of a certain heart disease, is it really our choice to transfer our hearts to the companion... If a remorseful teenager is pregnant, is it really her choice to conduct abortion... If a persons life is deranged with only tragedies and adversities, mishaps and hardships, calamities and afflictions, is it his/her choice to take away an item (if one may say) of such sacramental and unprofaned... Life... the mere thought of stealing life from its body is a defamation itself... It disgraces, devalues and diminishes the shere splendor and granduer of the word Life... It annihilates all thats left of one's virtues... one's dignity ... one's serenity...
Quotes:
A life without cause is a life without effect.
Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.
Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.

Mind & Will Power
Well....It's been about 5 days now, still waiting for those darn results for my Math and Science exam... Haihz... Today wasn't typical as just any other day... After lunch, the whole school was scheduled to be in the gym... For a Hypnotist's Performance... His name, Marc Sevard, not bad of a hypnotist...i guess.... First time ever seeing a real hypnotist(not one of those scams)... The show wasn't bad... 13 students hypnotized, made them do all kinds of stuff... Kind of funny actually...
Which generally leads me to my current post... Today's post unfortunately is not going to be about Life's Ethics... A day of change... Although it might involve life...Mind & Will Power... As most of you who Haven't seen one of these shows before... The utter understanding of this term might not be apprehended... The depth and width of this term, most of the time, has not been able to be grasped mentally by many(even me)... This term... is actually quite simple... The strength of ones mind, brain and intellectual... However, the depth, the never-ending abyss of this term is often unappreciated... In short, the mind can be a very powerful thing if there is a will to unleash this boundless power...
This unconfined power can only be unveiled by the will of the sub-conscious mind, the inner self, the "inner mind" some might say... And through hypnotizing, this inner mind can be unmasked... Allowing the mind to be working full-scale on the sub-conscience mind... Giving way to the manifested will of the all powerful mind... Thus, the mind indulges in the magic of ones will... The will of an average mortal can be quite an influencial device but at the same time, such a vigorous and in some circumstances, dangerous weapon... With the cooperation of the mind and the will... The body can become a machine, a tank, a weapon(The Hulk)... Think no pain, Feel no Pain... The enchanted wonders of the Mind & Will Power...
Quotes:
Men are not prisoners of fate, but prisoners of their own minds. (Franklin D. Roosevelt)
There is deep wisdom within our very flesh, if we can only come to our senses and feel it. (Elizabeth A. Benhnke.)
Our bodies are our gardens - our wills are our gardeners. (William Shakespeare)

Reality and Imperfection
The Social exam was an absolute catastrophe... This exam was my worst achivement in Canada so far... In a way, I have failed myself... 66% just don't cut it... That is a passing mark... but barely passing is just inadequate... Well... I don't ever plan to fail and dissapoint myself anymore... (hope not)... Well, no use regretting now, might as well learn from my so called mistakes...Anyways, its getting late, so i'll try my best to make this post short and sweet...and i might even try to butter it up a lil... considering that I am about to sleep...
We as humans, are born, raised and bred by humans... When we were once children, we all had a distinct fantasy about each and everyone of our family being the perfect peolpe... A family, of perfection... Children think of their parents as the perfect couple, unbreakable, untouchable, unbendable...and don't be misled here, parents are great, at least they were for me... However, family, (including cousins, aunts, uncles, etc.) are like great statues or priceless paintings... From a distance, they look absolutely flawless... but as you slowly motion further, there are cracks among the statues and faulty lines among the paintings... Those works of art remains priceless and cherished... And just like these sculptures, family stays love and cared for, regardless but reality crashes in... the whole world is just not that perfect no more... Not as flawless no more.. No more the paradisiac dream land...
And this is all part of growth... A boy deteriorates along side the scarcities of reality...A man is made by his mistakes and deficiencies... No man is perfect... There is always "room" to improve, emend, to elevate... Events and meetings should not be a regret just because it didn't go as planned... Paintings and statues should not be ignored just because it is consists of fault...Just as, Life shouldn't be a dissapointment just because reality isn't a perfect world...
Couple of quotes:
No one is perfect... that's why pencils have erasers.
Nothing that is complete breathes.
A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault.
Gold cannot be pure, and people cannot be perfect.
The imperfections of a man, his frailties, his faults, are just as important as his virtues. You can't separate them. They're wedded.
