the two sides of a coin won’t appear before each other at the same time…
it’s like friendship and love,
they won’t exist at the same time…
it doesn’t matter which side is facing up and which side is facing down,
if i have you that would be enough
Calvin: Its hard to know what’s important in life. We don’t notice the small stuff and we’re never prepared for the big stuff.
Hobbes: What about the stuff in between?
Calvin: That stuff’s boring.
Hobbes: Let’s hope bumbling along without a clue is important.
Calvin: According to the Ads, fresh breath and dry armpits are crucial.

brand new year…but really, what’s new? still, cynicism won’t work for me either…he he he…just wanted to share a dialogue between calvin and hobbes (one of my favorite cartoon strips…)
Hobbes:
How are you doing on your New Year’s resolutions?
Calvin: I didn’t make any.
See in order to improve oneself, one must have some idea of what’s "good" that implies certain values.
But as we all know, values are relative. Every system of belief is equally valid and we need to tolerate diversity. Virtue isn’t "better" than vice. It’s just different.
Hobbes:
I don’t know if I can tolerate that much tolerance.
Calvin:
I refuse to be victimized by notions of virtuous behavior.
Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson
“There is a way of looking at life called ‘keeping things in perspective.’ This simply means ‘making yourself feel better by comparing the things that are happening to you right now against other things that have happened at a different time, or to different people.’ For instance, if you were upset about an ugly pimple on the end of your nose, you might try to feel better by keeping your pimple in perspective. You might compare your pimple situation to that of someone who was being eaten by a bear, and when you looked in the mirror at your ugly pimple, you could say to yourself, ‘Well at least I’m not being eaten by a bear.’
You can see at once why keeping things in perspective rarely works well, because it is hard to concentrate on somebody else being eaten by a bear when you are staring at your own ugly pimple.”

it’s been a while since a movie inspired me, got me thinking and stuff…although it had a few dragging parts and some questionable sub-plots i would have to say it was a good movie…
Hold on to your truth, even if you’re the only one who believes in it.
kudos to the people who constantly update their blogs…paging ina and trixy…i can empathize…
anyways, news bits…
so…as the song by Sugababes go…
If you’re ready for me boy
You’d better push the button and let me know
Before I get the wrong idea and go
You’re gonna miss the freak that I control
Hi Jho!!!
i feel great today…i dunno why but it’s like something great is bound to happen…
giddy with excitement i put on my skinny jeans and went to work…
only to find out that i’m still stuck in traffic an hour and a half later due to the accident last night at the highway and makes me kinda wonder if they did or doing anything at all to clean that up…
that didn’t dampen my ray of sunshine though…i was comfortable still, and one of the benefits of living in the boondocks is that the air is much more fresher than the metro…now, if only i had wi-max and got to work while stuck in traffic, now that would be a perk!
considering what happened this morning and the attitude of the rest around me who were frustrated by the situation, i thought to myself that i am happy that i am not troubled by uncontrollable situations such as traffic…
i choose to be fabulous today…
and nothing can steal my sunshine today…
absolutely not!
"People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones"
how quickly do we forget that we are all human and commit mistakes…more often than not we tend to complain and rant about things that we ourselves are guilty of, be it a lesser shade of evil or not.
we quickly take into account other people’s actions and not ours.
in a culture of self-righteousness…where do you fit in?
i’m bored…bored with routine…physically and mentally bored…but the thing is, how would you know when to move on? how would you know it’s time to get out of your comfort zone? and what would be your reason in doing so?
i guess right now i need mental or moral strength to venture, persevere and withstand danger, fear or difficulty…
i guess there’s no better time than now…
