Life is about looking back and laughing at yourself

I leave my old blog posts here so I can laugh at myself; my pettiness, my attention-seekiness, my attempts at being funny/cool, my sadness, my anger, my obsessiveness, my propensity for sentimentalism, my wrong usage of bombastic words.

Please don't laugh at me. I reserve this exclusive right. D=

Then again, it's fortunate to be able to laugh at the old you.

The you who didn't know better. The you who expected the world to revolve around you. The you who cared too much. The you who who succeeded. The you who failed. The you who readily believed in people. The you who threw tantrums when things didn't go your way. The you who didn't DARE to voice out when something was wrong.

How much have you changed? Probably not very much.

But you still laugh. Because life is ever-changing. Because sometimes, life is about taking one step back, to observe and not take charge. See where it'll lead you. You never know where you will find yourself in twenty years.

What's the fun in knowing you walked down a planned path to a destination while hitting every single milestone, anyway? Life doesn't quite go the way you want it to, and it shouldn't. There's always that surprise lurking in the corner. But when it jumps out at us, why don't we try embracing it? It is with this mentality that everything happens because of God's (and whomever you pray to) Will that many religious friends seem content. Why don't my non-religious friends think of it this way, everything happens for a reason, and if it doesn't there's nothing you can do to undo it (unless, of course, you built a time machine).

Live life, and live with the consequences of living.


I went off tangent here.

Burn burn burn

First, there was fried chicken on the bus. Then, there was ismellsomethingburninganditstanktohighheavensanditwokemeupandican'tthinkofanythingelsetoaddnopejustkiddingicangoonforever.

So apparently the commotion right downstairs at the badminton court at 4am was a fire. I should have known, right? Like, there was smoke coming out. Pffft! We ended up just closing the windows and sleeping. Very civic-minded of us. In my defense, I did try calling the security guards. No one picked up though. Meh. What's gonna happen if it's a real emergency?

But it was an exciting night, albeit a probably poisonous one.

Long day of words and more words tomorrow at work. To be realistic, I won't finish my work this week. Hah.

To be completely random, my boss' water bottle has algae. Yikes!
