PlAgIaRiZiNg At It'S bEsT...

Well, it has been a while, not too long ago, since I've wrote an entry. In this one, I've decided to be a tad less creative and a bit more lazy by just quoting from a writer that I happen to come across recently. The web is indeed a vast resource that you can tap in for information, it contains the thoughts and imagination of many talented people who conveyed it to us through the windows of the virtual world. Many of them are newbies who just set out to explore the extent of their ability and showcase their ideas. Some are already at intermediate level of expertise such that their work deserves commends and encouragement. Others are wonderfully equipped with extensive knowledge and enticing content that just leave us in awe. For this one, I'll let you decide which category this writer belong to....

"The most excruciating type of loneliness is even though you are amongst close family and friends, you still feel a tremendously overwhelming sense of loneliness engulfing your mood. This is the kind of loneliness that does not happen to everyone, for this is the rare kind of delicate emotion that only happens to the best of us, the lucky ones. Some people call it the gift, while others who are less optimistic calls it more like a voo-doo type curse. The perspective varies between optimists and pessimists. I am one of the fortunate few who is still rather indecisive of whether I should be thankful or condemn this particular set of ambidextrousity. Now I understand why some people generally tend to say that pain is good, because it makes us feel that we're alive. I don't know if I agree completely with that view for even though I think it defines the fact that we are human, I feel that I'm dying gradually on the inside. 

This state of comma, however, can be traced. It can be traced to how and why we let ourself fall into the situation I'm in right now. It all started with the pleasure of the 5 senses. The sense of touch, taste, feel, hear and see. Some even might say that their sixth sense is not being forgotten as well. In my opinion, my ultimate loneliness started when these 5, or 6, senses were deprived of its usual pleasure. A pleasure that intriques a drawback, or cold turkey. This messes around with my head a little bit, and most importantly, it screws up my emotions, almost completely.

I should not have started it. I should not have let myself fall to that state of vulnerability. I should not have taken off my guard and pursue my own happiness. It is rather selfish, when you say that you're pursuing your own happiness... Don't you think? All judgment aside, I think one of the ways to get through this mess and get rid of all these venomous emotions is to relive the pleasure of the 5, or 6, senses and then re-evaluate yourself by seeking a thorough systematic healing process of repention.  

First sense is the sense of sight. The view of her face, just lying there next to me when I wake up gives me a sense of security, a belonging. A feeling that I actually have somebody there who cares. Even though she's still dreaming and it'll take more than arson to wake her up, it just made my morning that much more beautiful. A good day that seems hard to be ruined.

The second sense is the sense of smell. Her papaya mask that she apply delicately to her hair left a softly emitting fragrance as it permeates through the whole room. It is indeed the quiet time that she spends taking care of herself that leaves me wondering how it feels to actually go closer and inhale the full effect of the scent. As I come closer, there's another smell that emits from her. Ahhh... That surprisingly familiar sake smell that never seem to fade from her skin. Its like the sake smell is her sweat, radiantly diffusing into my nostrils. My smell senses was captivated, and fulfilled.

The third sense is the sense of touch. I can't help myself but to pull her closer to me. If they say that a picture paints a thousand words, then I'd say that a simple touch is worth more reassurance than a billion consolation. The fact that I have this living human being next to me, a person who actually recognizes my presence in this world, somebody who actually cares about my life and death, and also somebody who would actually protect me, is already a miracle. I must have done something right to deserve this. Neverthelss, her soft bouncy skin left a tingling chill into my palm. She is actually cold, even though she grunts as I disturbed her comfortable sleeping position.

The subsequent sense, is the sense of hearing. This sense is invoked by the grunt she gave. Her sleepy eyes lashed out, like a hungry crossed lionness when you steal her bloody meat in the middle of a feast. But when she set her sight on me, her entire facial expression changes. She smiled. Oh yes she does. The smile that actually melts any iceberg in the antartica. She took a glance at me, and appreciates my effort in pulling her into my embrace. She grazed her head onto my chest, trying to find another comfortable position before drifting back to dreamland.

I can't help but to speak, using the last visible sense to the human being. I hushed, and secured her in my embrace. I comforted her and reassured her that I was there before giving her hair another smell and her forehead another peck. 

The simulataneous experience gave satisfaction to my last sense- the sixth sense. The sense that is fairly unnoticable to the naked human eye. The sense that many doubt its existence. The sense that made me crave it everytime we meet. The sense that made me ME. Almost like heroine, left me hooked onto it on the first try. And of course, the drawback that I'm currently experiencing in my state of cold turkey.

It went by as promptly as it came. But the memory will forever last in my brain. Though how many percent of it is used, I'll never have a chance to know it while being mortal. 

Sadly though, this was probably the only time my satisfaction tank is filled. The rest of the experience was just not my language of love. Things are different when she's awake. My language of love, forfeited...

For now, I have relived the journey of the six senses. I think I'll be able to move on and decide what to do with my life. It's like recovering from addiction - Easier said than done."

Well, that's that... How many of you had experienced this before? Can you relate to this? I find it very intriguing and stimulating. Brings you back to the times that you could have experienced this, but did not have a chance to, didn't ya? 

Alright, that's all for now. Hope you guys are still entertained by my useless rant. Peace out!

We AtE, wE dRaNk, We LaUgHeD, wE VoMiT...

It's been a long while since I've even wrote anything in this blog. If shua would have seen this, he'd say something about the blog being filled with atoms... which technically ain't really true... hahaha...

So what have I been doing so far that I've neglected my dear virtual mental vomit container? I've been at work from 0800-1700 everyday, which means I have to wake up around 0600 in the morning to get ready and be at the office by 0730. Then come home at an average of 0530 minimum, or maybe up to 0630 on thursdays trying to keep up with meeting materials. I come home afterwards, eat, then proceed to head out and play tennis. Sometimes tennis, sometimes just PS3, sometimes just out with parents or friends. I keep my schedule as tight as possible so my mind doesn't wander off to places that I don't want it to head to. I play tennis to ensure that I get to slp better at night, no need for all the unscrupulous mambo jumbo, I just fall into a deep sleep the moment my head touches the pillow. 

But anyways, I've been lucky so far. In the last 5-6 months, I've made new buddies, new friends who shares similar if not relatively close background as me. And together, we created a weekly A.A meeting session in which non frequent fliers are welcome to join us anytime during the session and have non-stop laughters with the gang. We were, however, never failed to be joined by everybody's best vice - Alcohol. 

The weekly A.A meeting wasn't really started until a couple of months ago I guess. This has been the time where I had exploited (trained) my liver to its full potential. During this session, we could have as much jokes/insults/gossips/ serious conversations/ aimless conversation thrown around. And most of the time all of it led to only one ending - a laugh and big gulp of whatever our poison was. On certain weeks, it will be filled with other activities including karaoke, pool, formal dinner, matchmaking session or poker. Hahaha... but we were always accompanied by alcohol.

To a certain extent, alcohol is indeed a really good ice breaker. This is where we calm ourself down and start to be chill before we carry on with the conversation. With alcohol, we can be more at ease (read: Zen) with our surroundings and our peers and will proceed to pour our hearts out. Had a bad week at work? Had a bad break-up? Have complaints regarding the non-existent working ethics in your particular company/ country? Or when you simply need ideas for a brand? I will recommend you to join the club. It really doesn't take that much to begin with. Yes the alcohol will burn a hole in your freaking wallet, or it will make you vomit and completely have a blackout, or simply making out with one of your first cousins? It's all fair and square in love and war, oops, i need to correct that.... the right one should be, it's all fair and square within the weekly A.A meeting session. No judgement, plenty of consolation and weird smirks, but hey, we do what we can to stay sane in this world, don't we? You get more to earn than lose... as the weekly A.A meeting has always given me an enjoyable time...

But what happens after the A.A meeting? Sometimes the silence of the mind is like a electric generator. Once you lose the disturbance in the electromagnetic field, you lose the electricity, and the magnet will only point in one direction. And often, this direction will lead you to places that you don't wanna be in the first place.... hahaha... exactly why the A.A session is good for... it is good for the distraction of the mind. hehehe... I look at this article and the more I am disgusted by it. I have never wrote so badly in my life before. I think I'm losing my touch, or maybe I should write down my thoughts immediately to ensure that I don't lose the original touch that came with it. Will I change my writing habit in order to obtain a better penmanship etiquette? I don't know...

I am not ready to disclose anymore information... but i will... as my life puzzle falls into place... you will realize what is going on.... but for now... let's just distract ourself in the laughter of the A.A members...
