Rose Coloured Glasses.

people are essentially good. people essentially care when it counts. at least this is what i choose to believe. despite extenuating circumstances that point to the contrary. despite the crazy pettiness you hear, despite the ugliness you see, despite, despite, despite. because when you least expect it, people come thru. not neccessarily at the point in time you want them, but at the time you need them.

my rose coloured glasses started getting darker and darker this year for some reason. tried to polish it, tried to wash it, tried to wipe it but no avail. and y'know, those damn glasses started affecting me. guess cos when i looked out, it was pitch black. so i got scared. then i got bitter. then i got so angry. and those glasses just got blacker and blacker until one day, i couldnt see any more.

and just when i had about given up, a shadow loomed. it wouldnt go away. i yelled and i kicked but it wouldnt go away.
it was like "you dont need sunnies on all the time,dudette!we're here and we'll protect you from that damn sun". and then more shadows came. and i pushed and i shoved but the shadows wouldnt budge. they were there to make the glasses light again. i didnt make it easy for them but they persisted. they cried with me, they cursed with me, they ate with me, they shopped with me and they even travelled with me.

and now my glasses are as good as new. well,not quite, but it's getting there.....

.........people are essentially good..... you just gotta want to look for it in them...

Daring Daren from Segi College who's out to win Jordan's Entrepreneur's Challenge 2007. (phew, thats a long title)

This is Daren....

Man, if i were a few years younger...ok but we're not here to talk about him, we're here to talk about what he was doing at the Cineleisure flea market last Saturday. Which was promoting his team's skills at selling toothbrushes. Not just ANY toothbrush mind you, it's like a limited edition Jordan Go travelling toothbrush which comes in a handy dandy compact (can change colours one, very pwetty!) complete with concentrated tooth gel. The coolest part about the thing is the gel squeezing function on the casing. it's also cool seeing people of our generation with any sort of entrepreneurial initiative. So please, like buy a toothbrush. it might prevent your girlfriend from leaving you. or, if you're single might GET you a girlfriend. there's nothing like fresh, yummy looking teeth to make a girl wanna jump your bones. trust me.


....and this is to show the competition's legit.

how can a triangle of cloth cost so much?

seriously, how can it? ok fine it's a triangle with abit of elastic on it but come on!it's still a triangle! (if you do not know what i'm talking about you must a) be a man or b) have visible panty lines. am i getting warm?) but yeah!back to ranting, honestly if i weren't so damn afraid of catching something, i'd probably just go commando. fitty big ones for a g-string or t-string or whatever new fangled name they're coming up with these days..sheesh! it's wrong man, it's just wrong..

p/s- Happy Birthday Mr. Dahl. you're still way cooler than Rowling.

Knights with not-so-shiny armour.

these days, we meet people and we see very hard exteriors sometimes. we see it in them, we see it in ourselves. and we don't like it very much, but we don't stop putting on the shiny, tough exterior which might be perceived as sheer arrogance. because hey, thats a million times better than showing we're weak....right?

i believe all knights have scars. their armour covers those scars up so they seem oh-so-perfect. i believe people get scared,insecure and threatened but they try not show it..most of the time. and when they do decide to show a glimpse of their pain, confess their trangressions, it is fleeting..i think it takes incredible strength to do that. and i dont think it should be taken for granted or used against them. even when you know you have the upperhand. it's called having class.

other knights choose to be magicians as well as knights - they distract their audience with some stunt so crazy that people end up talking about said stunt. mission accomplished. the real pain is hidden, buried deep.

i've never been that big a fan of metal. neither have I been able to be brutally honest with any one person my entire life. but every once in awhile, i take off that big chunk of clunk...and it's always great to know the people who love you are there to wipe your sweat.

have a great weekend.

its like a form of self torture..

i'm trying to will my joints to work. i really really really want my legs to feel like legs again. oh the pain, the agony....
ok, so 1 day at the gym after a long hiatus and this is what happens. the only thing keeping me going is that infamous line from Legally Blonde where Elle says " Exercise gives you endorphins...endorphins makes you happy....and happy people just don't go around killing other people!". we'll see.


so since superpoking has taken off like wildfire, i wanted to figure out what the hell some of terms meant..well, actually just one in particular:

Hadouken - literally, Surge Fist, is a fictional special attack that originated in the classic Capcom fighting video game series Street Fighter. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...and all this while i thought that rhu (was it rhu who said it?) said "AHBOUKEEN" it sounded like AHBOUKEEN, is it not AHBOUKEEN?
