| *Thought I'd share some well written and deep words from someone that introduced me to xanga many many moons ago* Dear T,
Am suprisingly sad to see you go. We may have only seen each other once, but I consider you to be a kindred spirit of mine. I put it down to our inability to express and the fear we may not have anything to say when we sit across each other. I'm proud of your will to manifest the ideals of being a free spirit and challenging your own being and refusing to accept that this is all I am this is all I've become as satisfactory. You've taken your life, grabbed it with gusto and affirmatively gripped it by it's jugular and shaken it and proclaimed this isn't enough.
Melbourne will always be here. Yet remember her charm that's made her your first true love. When you feel alone, bring yourself back to her alleys and feel her people walk her pavements, dance her nights, drink and be merry. Feel them run through your veins, through your hair and tingle your fingertips till you can feel your soul pump nothing but her essence boldly against your chest. When you feel lost and unsure where to go, know your city like you know Melbourne, be affirmative, know the threads of your asspirations, ground yourself in your determination. Be scared just enough to want to conquer and brave enough to feel invincible. When you miss your love ones, remember three things, kindness, comradry, and respect. The people you meet will return this back to you. They may not be farmiliar faces but these three things are what you as a person boldly show in every aspect in your life and in turn you will attract nothing but good back in.
This is your moment to forget all that you are, destroy your own burdens, make the weary into sharp memoirs and relearn your mistakes.
We may not stay in contact, though I will try my best as I'm sure you will. If we do lose contact, come back one day and our paths will cross. I look forward to the day I meet you again and will be exhilirated to see the new facades that your are about to create.
John Keating: "They're not that different from you, are they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you, their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? - - Carpe - - hear it? - - Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary."
-Dead Poets Society

An empty night in a crowded room filled with drugged up zombies in trance with the melodies and bass.
Tired, sleepy.... and patiently waiting for the high from the drugs to burn off my friends so I can go home and say hello to my bed, however, father time is taking his god damn time!
I had an message on my iphone @ 5:30am
hey are you still @ that place?
Yeah... can't wait to go home. Pretty much sleeping around the corner LOL! damn girl what you doing up @ this hour?
Oooo Im a night owl!! haha! come over! my appartment is just down City Road!
Now?
Yea.. got a bottle of tequila here as well. You can help me finish it.
Urm.. nah.. thats cool. I gotta leave @ 6:30am
My add is !@#@#@! come over for abit and keep me company then.
I looked back at my friends... still high on whatever they're on. argghh f*ck it.
"ok.. c u soon"
I came over.. there were some small talks and a couple silent moments at the start. We ended up having several good laughs over something random that went to another random conversation while shooting down 2 tequila shots. There were some flirtation and eye f***ing .. I looked at the time realising I have about 50mins before my friends realised that I went missing..
I smiled, lent forward and whispered "Damn... your gorgeous" rubbing my nose on her cheek while breathing down her neck drawing my face back.
She suddenly leaped and my back went snapped* falling back on the couch, left an "hmph" and was actually in a little pain but couldn't act all pussy out now so I tried to be tough and put on a smile.
We made out for alittle while and brought it into her bed room.
We were hot and ready to go.
While doing our thing* I can hear my phone ringing and vibrating.. 1 missed call, 2 missed call, 3 missed call, 4 missed call.. it got so annoying I put my phone on silent.. 1 vibrating missed call, 2 vibrating missed call.. "Damnit.." I grabbed my jumper and wrapped my fone with it to stop the annoying vibration. It's now 5:50am.
After several appologies, I just couldn't be bothered and just took her by the arms and we were hot and ready to go again.
6:20am: Naked, tired, sweaty and extremely sleepy, however; I can still hear the stupid phone vibrating through my jumper.
I looked at this girl's head rested on my chest and her arm cover my body.
"Hey... i think my friends are calling me again, I don't like to eat and run but I have to go"
While putting my clothes on I saw her face went from sweet to pissed off. I grabbed my keys.. lent over and kissed her on the forehead
" I had fun tonight, I'll call you later okay?"
I smiled.
She smiled.
"okay.. drive safely"
We smiled.
I didn't call her back.
I drove back and picked up my friends.
"Where have you been?! rah rah rah*"
"Oh I had to do something.."
"what? booty call?!"
I chuckled and mumbled..
"No, just had something imporant to do.. sorry guys"

| A random thought popped up into my head a few days ago. It was a question that a friend asked me when we were young... "A_C_E, let me ask you a question, if there was a burning fire at your home and you had a choice of saving your mother or saving your baby sister... what would you do?" "not sure to be honest, you?" "I would jump in the fire and die together with my family" "why?" "Because if I can't save them both, I rather go to heaven with them" For some reason that simple random thought popped into my head on sunday morning. And thinking about that question, it was a quite silly and naive. However, I've been thinking about it quite abit and never really could answer it until today when I opened a letter and read... " Dear A_C_E, "Welcome to Plan! Thank you so much for deciding to help make a lasting difference to the world's children by sponsoring Sharif Kiberu in Uganda." Life is precious... it can not be thrown away so easily because of our clouded emotions nor can it be treated so cheap. Sometimes we live in a world so divided that we tend to forget that there's other human beings out there that would do anything just to have some food to LIVE when they can just easily give up and DIE. So my answer would be, if I had a choice to save my baby sister or my mother who'd given me life? I would save my baby sister. Two reason: 1/ A child never knew what life is and deserves to live and learn... 2/ My mother would've wanted the same. | | |
| I recently came back from my holiday in Queenstown - New Zealand. It was a lovely little town surrounded by mountains, lakes and moist fresh air. We spent our time there relaxing, snowboarding and booked into some extreme sport activities. One of my all time TO DO thing was to go SKYDIVING!! And there was probably no better place to go skydiving than in New Zealand @ 15,000Ft!! Was an Amazing experience that I'm sure the grandkids will hear about it in many many years to come. We went white water rafting, rode on a helicopter (first time) that was pretty cool and was on a Jet boat drifting through the rivers (very cool! wish i could've had a go at driving but probably kill everyone on the boat!) Our morning view every morning while sipping on coffee was bright blue sky with no clouds and a surrounding of great mountains with a mirroring lake that shaded the images of the moutains and sky. Quiet breathe taking view! Was a nice week break and now back to reality working the 9-5 job! Next planned destination is Japan which I've got tickets arranged already... one way ticket... period of stay.. well at the moment its indefinate as I've arrange some work over there. Theres only good if not great news I've heard about Japan so I'm sure I'll enjoy but I like to keep my expectation low. Hopefully Japan has what my entreprenuerial mind hungers.... guess it's going to be another adventure  | | |

I had a flash of all these mixed feelings of the past today while starring at the yarra river walking to my car.
Was a nice sentimental feeling... all these wonderful memories all came at once. Was very overwhelming. And then I realised something. Life is short, or time here in life is limited. Sometimes we spend so much time focused on unneccessary things that we forget about the things that made our lives better, or happy at one stage. I think today.. i got my mojo back. | | |
