Hiatus (?)

The title says it all, but I'll be back after clearing my thoughts off of nonsensical stuff and all that. It may take months but I assure you, I'll be back with more interesting things to share.

Think of this as a teaser of what is yet to come.

Until then, sayonara fellow misfits!

Don't Judge The Book By Its.. nvm

Lazying around the maze of National Bookstore, I by some weird instance got drawn by this book nicely presented at a section where it didn't belong to. It was a bizarre attraction; I didn't know why but my conscience was seducing me to purchase it, no matter what the cost. Surely, judging by the cover of the book I think you'd see why I did.






Yup. Solid, profound stuffs

Plus the illustrations were just nice

At first, I thought this was a tome of hidden wisdom simplified for the average teenager (kasi nga ang cool lang nung cover) and by its thickness, sulit kung bibilhin ko. What I realized (forgive me, I'm really that thick) was that it was literally a Psychology book. Yes, a book solely for psychologists or people of that sort. AT HINDI KO BIN(NABASA) YUNG HARAP (Where you can find the title waiting to strike you dead).



Bought it, felt regret at first but after a few turns (a lot, sorry) I thought that the book wasn't that technical. In fact, it really was profound (may pagkascientific nga lang + history + theories + people I wouldn't probably remember but they were presented in a reader-friendly way) and I've learned tons of things.



After all, it's just like a Psych 101 book simplified and in color. I may share some of them to you when I feel like doing it.


If you're asking for the price, it's Php 869.00. Talk about impulse shopping
At sulit nga talaga, not that I am telling you to buy too *laughs*

Dreams

!! Last post of the day !!

Patulog na ako and probably I'll be having a dream today so let's talk about dreams.

Random ano pero yeah let's ponder on the wh-'s of dreams:

WH-y

Maybe because dreams are our perceived realities that are open to manipulation. We dream because we want to make things happen in our favor. It may be colossal; something that will match our ego, or miniscule (practikal tayo eh) that it may be called as a plan brewing up inside our hopeful heads.

WH-o

Pag usapan na lang natin ito sa ibang panahon, ano?

WH-en

The time we sleep, maybe because we are at a rested state and everything is just calm and our minds are empty for the inner state to fill it up with these stuff

HoW

I have no idea, maybe I'll ask a psychologist / psychiatrist some time

WH-ere

Anywhere? 

I think that's all about it at tingin ko ang walang kwenta ng post na ito (kasi po inaantok na talaga ako) kaya ayun.

Definitions

misfit

: a person who is different from other people and who does not seem to belong in a particular group or situation

at the end of the day, we are all but complete misfits

idiosyncrasy

: an unusual way in which a particular person behaves or thinks

not unusual, but technically unique and possibly productive

It just happens that I am practically aware that I am one and my ways don't seem to be productive enough, or maybe it needs more time. Or maybe I'm just a tad ideal. 

But hey, at least I am successful at letting you know me in the simplest and modest way I can think of

An Ideal Friendship

"...buckle up for this is going to be one hell of a ride."

not yet kid

I'm sorry for telling you this but there won't be any rides for the moment. I think I was a bit psyched about having a blog being a another "new" or "first" stuff from my interestingly colorful life that I wanted to share you this electrifying feeling.  

Speaking of interesting, I came along this article from Urbantimes which talks about a trio you wouldn't be encountering for some time in your lives: 


A lion, a tiger and a bear comprise the beastly "Three Musketeers" of our story. According to the article, they were all victims of an abusive drug dealer when they were redeemed by the authorities and promised them a good future. Since then they were almost inseparable. You could see the affection they share with each other as a result of them hurdling the challenges life throws at them. 

It was also said that when the bear (named Baloo) was sent to surgery, the two kitties were agitated and actually cried for the bear to return. Since then no one has ever separated the group. Quite inspiring isn't it? 

This is what I may call an "Ideal Friendship". They haven't searched for each other themselves but fate brought them all together. Sure life will occasionally fuck them but they stood strong for they know they will always have each others back. Despite their differences, they treated each other as their kin (maybe because of the fact that they only have each other and that they were domesticated) but you know what I mean.  

I may have to encounter this kind of friendship myself but being a complete misfit, this is going to be a long wait. I know for sure that my ideal compadres are there doing stuff God-knows-what but yeah, I do hope I get a chance to have them in my life... 


... and preferably instead of lazying around like these buffoons, we'll be drinking our glorious triumphs together at a bright night at the Sin City. 

Until then, I'm your misfit.

Making Introductions

One thing is for sure, I use to hate blogs

I don't have that penchant for reading at blog spots but I sure have this habit for writing. And if it wasn't for my endearing friend who convinced me to make one, you wouldn't be reading this post and I would be off playing my favorite game: Civilization V until dawn.

But what's done is done, and I'll ask you to buckle up for this is going to be one hell of a ride.
