Wise words

I was raised in a culture that values hard work and perseverance.  That is why I always try to work hard to the point where I sometimes forget about my personal well being.

I kinda stumbled upon this twitter post the other day and it´s an eye opener for me.

Working hard is good, but I realized that I should always remember that at the end of the day, it is only a job and I should value my personal well being first.

Jobs come and go and are easily replaced, but your health is something that once it´s gone, is hard to bring back.

PRIORITIES :)

Music is a very big part of my daily life.

Whenever I leave the house, I never forget my trusty Ipod touch to provide what I jokingly call "the soundtrack of my life."

I don´t know but there´s something about music that makes me get lost into it while walking.  There´s something zen about it.  I just find myself transported in my inner world of thoughts which make me ponder about what are the current topics that pull weight in my life.

It helps me sort out the issues that I have to deal with.

It helps me think.

here are the current songs that I kinda listen to:

I´ve been constantly re-watching this video the past few weeks and it still makes me laugh out loud everytime.  This is just a feel good video.

LOL

I have always gravitated towards all things quirky.

Ideas that are out of the ordinary but make perfect sense.

And this falls in that category

I found these at http://www.inewidea.com/2010/03/01/22865.html

I just looooove this.

Planning on doing this one of these days :)

Words to live by

These captions are posted on the desktop of my mac so that I would see them everyday.

These are constant reminders of what I want to say to myself whenever I face challenges in my life.

Whenever I read these words, I find the strength to face what cards life deals, both good and bad.

Just wanted to share them out :)

Hello blog you´ve been a stranger.....

Last year numbed whatever whimsy I had in my system.

Being too busy adapting to a new environment and being focused on the more practical aspects of life, mainly work, work and more work made my imagination dull.

I´ve been a drone.

I stopped writing.

I stopped photography and graphic art.

I stopped customizing toys.

I stopped buying chuck taylors and painting them.

I miss doing creative stuff.

I miss letting loose the crazy monster in my head that ponders about how holes can have logical existence by being defined as the absence of something which basically has no actually existence, positing the question: "If it can be grasped by the mind i.e. making it exist logically, then do holes really exist given the fact that it is the absence of something?"

So now, I dedicate this whole blog to anything and everything crazy about how I think.

This shall be hence an ode to crazy.

And this video kinda shows a visual of what I feel :)

I think I really need to be crazy to remain sane.
