What is life?

To be really honest, i am slow in catching up the trends of the people today. I’m was not updated that certain fads and clothes are no longer "in", new gadgets that are only heard but not owned, and terms and slang words that seem Greek to me. The thing is, I tried to catch up, didn’t find it worth while, and decided not to after that… talk about a rebel in trends and fashion O.o

To be really honest, i do not find trends are that worthy to pursue. i do not understand people are being mall rats to buy the new trendy clothes while their old ones are still wearable and still look hip in 2007. Are people that superficial when it comes to modern styles?

To be really honest, to become the most hippest person in the society, one HAS to have a lot of money to burn, a pair of alert ears to hear the fashion news, a keen eye in recognizing what’s new, what’s not. I rather not to waste my energy to do to greatest lengths to find the suit that is featured in the whatever-the-brand’s-name-is 2007/2008 fall collection runway fashion show in Paris.

To be really honest, I believe one day everyone will have the same thought as mine, stop persuing these meaningless things, and laugh at people who are doing so. That’s why you never see an elderly woman trying so hard to get the 2007 look because they don’t find it interesting anymore. (though i might not be surprise someone at that age doing the things young people trying to do)

To be really honest, I want to look hip and modern in the eyes of the world too. At the end of the day… everyone is THAT desperate to keep up and to be part of the society, the modern, "superficial" one to be exact.

I got to know the game of "risk" through my friends, and i finally got to witness the game in play. In short, it is a game of world domination, filled with strategies, wit and a little bit of luck. After a series of attacks, alliances and an accident that causes the little army figurines to flip all over the place, i felt the game is interesting, fun and sort of life-related.

Point is, our live are filled with risks and decisions to be made. Some we took and reap the rewards, some we took and suffer from its consequences, others we simply avoid when we feel it is not worth the effort. Whenever we work, play, invest, buy things, and doing other more mundane activities, we just have to take some chances at one point.

Even when we get the thrills and the fun out of taking chances. Roller coaters, bungee jmping, sky diving, skating and all other activities that you can name that bring a lot of fun inexchange with posing some form of danger. It is kinda odd that things that are more fun tend to be more dangerous than it looks.

Once my debate trainer told me, "Don’t be a spectator in life". In a way it is true. Living the life is so much better than seeing it happen. Next time i want to try my hands on the game some other time.

yeap… it will be official next month, i have been blogging for 2 years already. it was also my 2 years of ups and downs, crazy times, life-changing experiences and great memories.

Although i do not recieve many comments, t but i can tell you that this blog has been read by many friends of mine from different areas of my life, be it high school, university or debates. How do i know that? Well, people just come to me and said it… and even complimented it :).

Of course with compliments comes with harsh criticisms of my blog content, request of removal of some "inappropriate things", and of course, i listen to my fans. What’s more important than the support i get from writing my humble blog?

I thank everyone who spent a little of their time to read my blog, and continued to catch up on any updates i’ve made. (I know it’s not a lot, but i try to post twice a month at least). Moreover, i would like to apologize for any mistakes done to anyone at all via blogging, whether it is factual errors, spelling mistakes, statements that offend anyone and other inaccuracies.
