RIP

A couple of days ago, I was talking to a friend regarding PURPOSE. What is it that we are to do here?

There were two notable stories in Fringe which talks about purpose. For the benefit of the few who does not know the television series, Fringe is a science-fiction story about an FBI agent, Olivia Dunham, whose partner needed the expertise of  Dr. Walter Bishop, 17 years in St. Claire's facility for the mentally unstable. She needed the help of the son, Peter Bishop, to get the scientist father out of the facility's care. Later in the story, we gather that the son died in his timeline. Thus, the scientist tried to rescue the boy from another universe. And unworldly activities and parallel universes were incorporated into the story line.

Let go. Let God.

In need of tether. To keep me from floating away.

If life was as easy as this. :)
This is my new car! :)

Scrambling

In the matter of being too involved with Fringe.
She is consumed with the parallel world.
And she consoles herself.
If they were not meant to be together here, now...
Somewhere, somehow...
In a parallel universe,
Where different decisions were made
And different emotions were felt
He held her hand, and never did let go.

That is her world of might-have-been.


But she will be happy right here.
As she relished the thought of this new relatedness.
They will be friends.
In this lifetime. in this universe.
She and him.
Friends.

Blast from the past

An online application/ website, FutureMe.org, allows people to send messages to their future selves. I got mine a few days back. And it was from a year ago.

The past, I guess, should be left alone as it is. Never open Pandora's box. It leads to a plethora of emotions that was burried, and should have been left six feet under. Considered dead. Forgotten, albeit barely forgiven.

I will share with you a conversation that is in the email:

Person 1: punta kami nbi ngayon, magpapakulong.
Person 2: sa main? dika nila pwede ikulong kasi nakakulong ka na sa isip ko.. you cant be in 2 places at once! hahahaha

I'd like to think that based from above conversation, Person 2 is witty and cute. However, this might not be the case for Person 1. Perception is reality. So what Person 1 perceives to be true, that is his/her reality. What Person 2 thinks funny and cute might come off as aggressive and needy to Person 1. [No credits to my name as this is not an original thought.]

So, basically, what I'm saying is that, what we see as true is our reality. What we think other people think is true, that is our imagination.

Dope!

Dopamine - it's the neuro-transmitter in the human brain responsible for euphoria. :)

"Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain's reward and pleasure centers. Dopamine also helps regulate movement and emotional responses, and it enables us not only to see rewards, but to take action to move toward them. Dopamine deficiency results in Parkinson's Disease, and people with low dopamine activity may be more prone to addiction. The presence of a certain kind of dopamine receptor is also associated with sensation-seeking."

Cherry Blossom. An enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life. An omen of good fortune and is also an emblem of love, affection and represents spring. =)

I love the paradoxical take of this. Temporary yet permanent. Just like me. Oxymoron.

Conversations

alot: If you have 15M, what would you be doing instead?
answer1: travel the world
answer2: write
alot: why not do it? haha
answer: because i dont have 15M
alot: will you have the energy and guts to do it when you have 15m
answer: yes. i will have the FUND... so i will not scrimp on the FUN. :)




I long for the day when my answer to: if you have 15M what would you be doing instead of your job? is: stay with my job because I love it too much.

waiting

I love the song too much. Its poignant melody reminds me that, patience, will pay off. I will wait.

And while waiting, I'm thinking of getting a new tattoo. :)

Face shop

I have been using The Face Shop's BB Cream Power Perfection SPF 37 for a few weeks now. Suffice to say I loved using it. It gives off a matte finish after a rush to the office. More than that, it leaves my face supple and free of breakouts. I notice the improvement in my skin days after first using it. I highly recommend the product for people who are prone to acne breakout.
