Philosophy

I've been enjoying this subject. It keeps me thinking, at least thinking of other things.

Exhaustion

Even when you're not doing anything, life can be outright draining. Sometimes you just need to slow down a bit and ponder about the direction of your existence.

Have a break.

Condolences

My grandpa (mother's side) passed away yesterday afternoon. It was expected.

It does not get me so depressed though. I realized that, if I were in my grandfather's position, and I died, I would not want others to weep for me and for my death. I do not want to see people crying because of me primarily due to the fact that I do not want to be a cause of sadness.

Secondly, if I die, I'd rather want people to rejoice because I have been a "good person" (if ever that would be true by the time I die hahaha) and that I have contributed many good things to this world.

Third, I'd want to pinpoint the epiphany that I passed away, and through that I've made the world a more complete one.

Rest In Peace Lolo. :-)

Simple Joys Of Life

For some reason my blogger's time won't sync with the "real" time. Blogger's time is lagging by about 16 hours behind and I don't know how to fix it yet.

Anyway, I just finished a paper and I decided to get a snack downstairs. There's this pack of Gardenia Pandesal at the dining table. I'm telling you, it has got to be one of the tastiest pandesals out there and I like it. It brings about the simple joys of life.

Ah yes, the simple joys of life...

... Reminds me of the times I was with her. Every moment dispensed into the past was all too precious - that reminiscing just one of those moments makes me smile.

Fills me with joy...

Please Wait

There's this certain key you pressed on your mobile phone because you wanted to execute some random function - now you can't remember what you wanted to have, but you know you want it.

Then a dialogue box pops out from the center of the screen and then consequently covers almost the whole display, and it says "Please Wait."

You wait.

What if, in the middle of the process your phone hanged? You hopelessly wait but you receive no definite response from the phone. Now your lifeline for connectivity is certainly dead. What would you do?

I'd opt to pull the battery out and restart the goddamned phone.

Camera: Smile!

Some people are cameras. Do you know why?

Because when they are in front of somebody, that somebody will always smile and smile - even for no reason at all. Just the presence of the "camera" makes that somebody smile. Or perhaps, he constantly says cheese. I mean, not just say "say cheese," rather, literally tell cheesy stuff that's all too well.

But actually, the one who smiles the most is the camera itself, for it is him who really captures the smile and stores it... forever. Behind that lens and that flash, beyond those batteries and circuits, beneath the darkness and the silence, lies a smile encompassed by a frame of a millisecond of time.

I think I'm a camera.
