Of Humans and Cockroaches....

So I have a friend who's fascinated with cockroaches....
seriously, it feels like he knows everything there is to know about 'em roaches~
The other day I was on the way to the hospital with him and out of the blue the topic about roaches suddenly came up. Don't ask me how it came about, I can't remember, it was just SO RANDOM!

Did you know that cockroaches can survive for at least 3 days after you remove their heads??
Seriously!! I don't know how true it is, it was told so "matter of fact"-ly that one can't do anything but accept it as the truth and ponder the question, "how the hell did he know that?"

That's not all, he goes on to EXPLAIN, that the headless roaches ONLY lives 3 days BECAUSE, get this, they can only survive that long without drinking water......F*&% I didn't even know cockroaches DRANK!!!!

Oh yes, not forgetting, that these scary - yes, I admit, I am afraid of 'em - creatures who defy extinction, can survive without food for MONTHS to YEARS!! And the justification to that is, "see, they can survive the extinction of dinosaurs AND the ice age!"

Argh, I was freakin' out right about then! The only thing I needed to know about those pesky, sometimes flight-capable creatures from outer-space - yes, they are aliens to me - is to get the hell out of a room when their around, 'coz doesn't it seem like those equipped with flight properties go straight at ya when you see them??

Of Realisations Part......Well, I Forgot....

We both knew it would come to this,
Somehow it feels like you realised it way sooner than I,

Let's just leave it at that...
Be back soon.....bluek...hehe....

Of Time and Tide.....

Time....
An invisible, untouchable yet always present and undeniably significant entity in our lives!
How else can one describe time?
It's such a selfish thing time, sometimes giving you just enough. Always offer insufficient when one really needs it, and seems endless when one doesn't want it....
Like a cruel, broken heart of a jilted and wronged lady, doesn't give one a second chance.
Offers no forgiveness....

Of Karma and the Gang...

Do you believe in reincarnation?! Yeah....I mean the whole rebirth thing when you pass on in this life...well, karma is supposed to be like cosmic payback.....OK, when I put it like that, people would generally think that karma's all about the bad things in life...I mean, how could it not be?
The idea of it though, it's so, how do I put it, "unfair" for us who are alive and breathing right now. Think of it, if karma really does exist, you would be subjected to the things that you did in your past life......and here's the catch, you don't even REMEMBER your past life do ya?! Hence, "unfair"!
Those who don't believe in these spiritual - there is a greater power thing - might argue that karma is a way religion sorta "scares" us into doing good and avoiding the bad stuff in life 'coz if you do good then you will lead an easy life in your next life and if you do bad...well, you get the flow!
I personally believe in karma, it's true, I do....to me, it's not a bad thing, it keeps human grounded, keeps us objective and keeps us humane! I may not believe there is a "power up there" that keeps track on the things you do in life...like the good and bad lists santa keeps.....but I do believe that somehow or rather, cosmic payback occurs, both the good things AND the bad things...like I said, it keeps us human humane! I don't necessarily believe that all your karma goes to your next life though....'coz here's when people will say, "ahhh, it's ok, the poor son of a bitch who becomes me when I'm long gone will suffer - not me!!" I believe that karma is spilled over into your current life...your current future, if you get what I mean....
Are you a believer now?! Don't get me wrong here, I'm not pushing religion....just the simple idea of do good and good shall be done upon you...but here comes the next enigma, people who do good, and EXPECT good things to happen to them! haha.....it's all such a blur ain't it?! hehe....
So if I do believe in karma, and mind you I do, man, my past life I must have been such a BRAG! Brag brag bragging away.....

Of Travelling Down the Philosophical Me.....

When life throws you an apple.....catch it and eat it for God's sake!
Adam and Eve did it!

Stressed out........

Of Being The 2 and The 4....

Well, well....those of you who know me personally would know that I'm back to no man's land....sighs~

On the upside of things, it was my birthday few days ago! Happy birthday me! Thankfully I didn't have to spend my birthday here ~ugggh the thought of it makes me go....ugggghhhhh~

Anyways, happy times happy times with the family and close friends! Gosh I can't believe I'm 24! TWENTY-FOUR! How time flies, I don't know why this birthday resonated so much, thingking about it literally puts a smile on my face! 'Coz I was never a fan of birthdays....of course I love getting the gifts, (which were never many mind you! *hints hints*) it's just, I always felt like it was just another day in an otherwise oblivious man's day...but then it dawned on me, that;s what makes it so darn special....it's one day of yours that you share with those closest and dearest (and might I add, if you share such information over this hippie thing that's crazy on the internet....1 word, 2 syllables ending with the word *----book* - practically your neighbour's jogging partner's daughter's BFF would know!)

I'm clammering away, as I was saying, it's one day in the many of days that you share with those closest and dearest and I guess that's what makes it special to me now....awesome!

Anyways, I thought it would be fun to put in 24 things I have learned so far in....well.....my life!

1. Brushing your teeth too long not only makes it cleaner, it causes unwanted corrosion and might lead to sensitive teeth! Unfortunately I learned this the hard way!!
2. One can never tire when it comes to the Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings movies! At least not me and my sis!! Cheers sinale~ can't wait for our next marathon! CRAZY!!
3. I love love LOVE dogs.....cats....well, let's not make enemies shall we?!

9. Should have put the close into the close-"distant" relationship way back when you were my flower girl.....yesh....this statement sounds a bit eew and emo, but Ms. Flower Girl, you only have the people in statement 8 to blame! The hot suit and itchy dress were all stuff of legends!
10. It takes a year to let the person you love go, but only a day to hate said person thereafter....
11. I have a small, but sufficient, group of friends who I can call my buddies until whenever and whenever indeed!
