Get your head out of the rat race and forget about the superficial things that pre-occupy your existence and get back to what's important now. Right Now. This very second. And I'm not saying, drop everything and let the world come to a grinding halt. I'm saying that you could become a seeker. You could be loving more. You could be taking some chances. You could be living more. You could be spending more time with your family. You could be getting in touch with the part of you that lives instead of fears; the part of you that loves instead of hates; the part of you that recognizes the humanity in all of us. And I tell you, That's where you're fortunate.

When to quit…

September 20, 2005

When does it come to a point that a person just has to quit…  When I say quit, I literally mean quit in every sense (be it with a job, a relationship or whatnot).

Each person has different points of view when it comes to quitting.  Some are strong enough that they would endure all manners of headaches and still stay where they are.. there are those who would quit at the first sign of failure.. and there are those that is just too tired to fight anymore and turn and walk away.

How does one know when to quit?

Do we quit because we can’t take it?  Do we quit because people say we should?  Do we quit simply because we are inclined to do so?

Even I don’t know the answer to such a question… everything is dependent on our day to day lives.  Be it a simple decision of what to where to work may change the course of our day from bad to good.  Quitting is the same thing… we really don’t know how it will affect us once we do it.  But the decision of quitting should always be YOUR decision and should never be decided by anybody else.

I have been tried so many times… bashed and forced to the ground countless of times… but I have never quit unless my gut tell me to.  I never quit even if I hear people talk bad about me… I will never quit because of what they say or do to me… I AM A FIGHTER… I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE… AND I WILL ALWAYS BE.

Where I am now is a result of all the heartaches and headaches I have endured over time.  I am proud to be me… and I will not turn back time nor will I regret what I may have done before… because I know those experiences made me a better man.

What if the competent go on strike?

September 13, 2005

Imagine…


A world where all the competent people go on strike.  A world where the geniuses as well as those with common sense would rather work as a janitor or a bag-man in a supermarket.

A world where incompetent people rule with an iron hand.

If those we look up to suddenly go on strike and we are left with a world full of incompetent people.. where would society be?

Well… think about it.  A country which is ruled by incompetent people would mean lots of holidays.. lots of free time.. and a whole lot of mess.  Society as we know it would crumble and fade away in a matter of years. Oil prices would go up… hunger and strife will prevail.  Society will break down and life as we know it will move to a mere crawl.

If the rational and intelligent people go on strike… then everyone will be at a loss.  Where is our society now?  Think… aren’t we nearing that stage?  It may be impossible that the competent will go on strike.. but it may be possible that the competent will lose their interest in society and leave everything to the incompetent. 

Come to think of it… we are at an age wherein we now rely more on technology rather than rationality.  People would believe more in numbers rather than taking the risk and believing in human intuition.


WE ARE AT AN AGE WHERE THE INCOMPETENT MAY RULE!!

We might think that this is just a phase… that in time, everything will be put in its place and it’ll all return to normal.  Which boils down to one thing… if we are ruled by those who are incompetent, how can we say that it’ll return to normal?  It is a horrific thought indeed…

My first blog entry…

September 6, 2005

My.. ohh.. my.

I don’t even know why I did this… nor do I even understand the concept of having your own blog. 

I have my friendster account to begin with and whatever thoughts I have, I write it there.  I wouldn’t even care how it looked like.  I may have been a web designer a while back, but there really isn’t any time for me to However, I’ve been pushed, kicked, and forced into creating my own blog… I pushed myself into doing it.  The reason?  I really don’t know… I’m just curious I guess.  Maybe I want my creative juices to flow.  Maybe it’ll help me take out some frustration in this rat-race we call life.

Well.. come to think of it.. even if I would keep on convincing myself that this is boring.. it really isn’t.  I’m not one who shares my thoughts to the world and I’m guessing that “blogging” is a way for me to release at least that tension that’s pent up inside from my being quiet.

It took me an 2 hours… just to set this blog up and it still isn’t finished.  There’s a lot of things that i’d want to put but my head is just a big blank right now.  Maybe in the next few days I’ll be able to fix everything.
