I ate a lot of m&m’s with almonds…

Someone gave me a gift.

And just like everything else in this planet, it has an expiration date. 

I can only use it for a certain period of time.

When that time comes, it'll be gone, it won't come back.

There are only two things for me to do.

use it or waste it…

I guess it's not that hard to decide what to do with life huh.

then again deciding is different from doing. 

am I making sense here? or maybe my head is just a little full of m&m's.

hmm yea. I dunno. I'm a bum so…

whatever. 

Change is Good

     I received in my e-mail the last installment of the seven deadly sins columns in Paulo Coelho’s Warrior of Light blog which is about sloth. The column includes different takes on the subject but I would like to share this particular old fable. It made me think about what I’ve been doing for the past year, which was mostly nothing.

An old fable passed on orally: As soon as he died, Juan found himself in a very beautiful place, surrounded by the comfort and beauty that he had dreamt of. A person dressed in white came up: ‘you have the right to whatever you want: any food, pleasure, fun”, he said.
Delighted, Juan did everything he had dreamt of during life. After many years of pleasures, he looked for the person in white:
“I’ve already done everything I wanted to”, he said. “Now I need some work, to feel useful”.
“I’m very sorry”, said the person in white, “but this is the only thing that I cannot get for you. Here there is no work”.
“To spend eternity dying of tedium? I would prefer a thousand times to be in hell!”
The person in white came up, and said in a low voice:
“Where do you think you are?”

A Bum’s Life

About a year ago I had a conversation with a friend about things most people do after graduation. Most people went to search for jobs, some already had jobs wating for them, and some people decided to take a year off, or as we call it they decided to bum around. I was one of those who decided to try out bumming. My friend and I  eventually joked around my bumness and I said I might as well write a book about it, and I decided to call my future book "A Bum's Life." (and NO it's  not a sequel story for "A Bug's Life")

And yesterday I was shocked when I was browsing my computer files, I found a Word file called "A Bum's Life" haha I totally forgot all about it. And so it turned out I wrote the chapter titles of the so called book. (Yea, I was serious of writing it then which was crazy…haha it amazes me how I can sometimes surprise myself)

This was written April 2006. This is totally crazy. Crazy enough to share with you my friends!

For no reason at all

In choosing someone, think first why you want him, why do you want to be with him and even ask yourself why do you love him. Think hard. If you cannot think of a concrete reason at all,  even just one concrete reason… he's the one.

It seems that this doesn't even make sense…but seriously…those things that appear to have no sense whatsoever eventually reveal that they make perfect sense. (more…)

Stop for now…

     When your world stops it’s just so hard to hear about what’s happening to other people’s worlds. For some reason you cannot participate anymore, you’re just there trying so hard to listen…but just can’t…because your mind is clouded by your own thoughts you cannot seem to avoid, you think you cannot do anything because as I’ve said your world has stopped. When this happens you are just scared how it might go on again because that might mean a drastic change in your life, but no matter how scary it might be you must continue living, because in this life stopping always means starting.
