The Great Turnaround






People are turning their backs to pick up the things they left in childhood, while I, of all the people slipped in and out of contemplation just to chart the direction I would take.

To find my place in life.

Souljacker
Because We Live In The Stone Age




So begins 2010.

Revive the plants in front of the house and turn a part of the compound into an ornamental garden. Relearn to play the Piano and perform Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and Clint Mansell's Together We Live Forever on a cloudless daybreak. Cut down on food binging. Drink more water. Be more driven to go to the gym and drop the body weight to 160 before summer. Read more books. Watch more intelligent movies. Go green. Save fuel by turning off lights when not used. Go green. Cut down on plastics by carrying few things brought from convenience stores with bare hands. Learn to be bold. Worry less of the consequences of errors that were made. Assume responsibility of the household. Never wait for the utol to make a move. Sing more often. You have the voice. Drink less booze. You still dream of showing off your six packs while dancing on top of the ledge. Get in touch with your spirituality. Who cares if you begin to hear voices one day. Find a better-paying job. You deserve more for your effort. Get a license. Your loved ones may depend on your driving skills someday.

Love.

You're not getting any younger. Bitterness is beginning to coat the outer layers of your heart.

engel said...

may you finally meet someone who deserves your love. ;)

Mugen said...

Engel: May that person still find the best parts of me. :)

Carl: I guess. But its the appearance that held me from truly realizing the feelings.

Padsiefoot: Weh. Mauuna muna kayo ni *toot* bago ko isipin yun.

Mugen said...

Curiouscat: Thanks. Pakilala mo na kaya sa akin si friend mo? Ahahaha.

Erick: Focus is a five-letter word that is five times more difficult to follow. It's easier said than done. :)

Mugen said...

Lee: Actually, we do hear voices only the heart could interpret. That's what you call conscience. :)

Have a great weekend.

Cio: Tinigasan ka naman nung dinilaan wetpaks mo. Wahaha.
