I have just read four of my previously published posts and could not help but reminisce the joy I then experienced in writing them which is equal to the one I had reading them almost 3 years later.
When is it that humans will admit and assume responsibility for their misdeeds, mistakes and otherwise unfortunate events?
I gave it a little thought, and if not all, at least most people blame anything and/or anyone but themselves 99% of the time. It's someone else's fault that one's life is not flowing smoothly, and if it isn't that someone's fault, it is God's will (which is again outta our control).
Deep down inside, as a procrastinator, when I am sweating at the 11th hour to submit that application online, I am as equally racing my thoughts of whom and what to blame if my application doesn't get through and my goodness gracious, if it doesn't, it's the computer's fault, the server's malfunction, even the full moon's fault that I didn't succeed.
When is it that humans, and me, will assume responsibility and say it to the world, YES it is MY fault. Personally, I doubt it if I'll ever muster that much courage. But, that's not my fault...... I was born a chicken :-S
Alright, this has been a long break.
Let's see what have been done
1- Finished my thesis (that was hard labour!)
2- Punished myself by enrolling in graduate classes completely impertinent to my field of interest.
3- Read a couple of psychotic novels
4- Went to a hairdresser for the first time in my life and decided to let my hair grow (the two do not have a causal relation)
5- Developed a sense of interest in fashion and cooking :-S
6- Used hot vodka to cure my flu (God's forgiveness)
7- Cut off a couple of people out of my life, added a couple others
And now I shall sit down and ponder my future plans......
But most importantly, blogging will resume
ta-ta
Goodness! if you only knew how I miss posting and how I want to be back!
But unfortunately I am overwhelmed by a number of academic endeavors that are consuming my time in it entirety
Time to go back
wait for me :-)
Yeah, my skin is clearing up despite my intermittent adherence to the regime. My next appointment is in another two weeks and I must finish with my medication, even if I have to take suicidal double dosages.
I'm beginning to go out make-up free. Beach! here I come!!
Salam world!
finally I mustered my courage and paid a visit to a dermatologist. It was not as dreadful as I've been fearing for some time now. Diagnosed with what I already knew I had, the doc suggested that I get an injection. Yes! a facial one, and no it was not Botox, I am naturally wrinkle-free :-). But that has set my mind whirling with the possibility of Botox injection in far-future. The procedure is pain-free.
Finally I was prescribed a regimen for 4 weeks. The countdown has begun!
I am optimistic, except for the fact that one medication has hair-loss side-effects.
Is that why the doc was bald?
Somebody help me! I am suffering from a writer's block and please don't tell just start writing or brainstorming. It has all proved futile.
For some reason I have become prone to writer's block more often than before. I could spend hours on end evaluating different views, critically analyzing them, and formulating my own arguments just to find out that someone has already thought similarly.
It is frustrating because I am lagging behind in all my projects and many of them are past due. It's affecting my morale and I feel further sluggish and disheartened.
Why is it happening?
Ohh goodness this is so galling!!!!
Last time I made an entry here was more than a year ago! Time flies huh? I still remember struggling to understand this whole blogging phenomenon and trying to adjust the links, the images and all the rest.
Anyhow, I thought it is a must that I write something on this cyber wall and vow to come back later!
Goodness, i should have been out of my house 7 minutes ago....
lata!
As I was changing trains on NYC subway, I saw this bunch of kids freestyling and twisting and turning with those amazing moves. Although I was running late, I decided to check them out, and sad thing I did that! as one of them was twisting on his head with his legs asunder he hit the bag where they collect the donations, and the whole thing shot at me (the only thing I remember is that blurry thing flying at me) and indeed it hit my head.
What I found most galling is that one of them actually came up to me later and insisted I should pay. I told him I want a compensation for that bag missile! I also didn't have the guts to take pictures of them after that...
INSOLENCE!
My little Beta fish, Indigo, is on strike I guess. He is eating too little and hardly swims. This state of inertia he confined himself too caused him to put on some weight. I got him a filter today, and changed his diet to brine shrimp. I hope he gets better. I really feel gloomy when he is depressed...:-(
Yuri Gagarin declared "Poeykhali" which is "let's go" in Russian .
Graham Bell said "Mr. Watson - come here - I want to see you."
Armstrong announced, as he was making his first step: "That's one small step for man but one giant leap for mankind."
I was wondering what should my first words be to the outer world, and there the bulb flickered. SALAM ALL! Today's world is full of antagonism, war, conflicts on all levels, and what is needed is Salam, peace for all. Too utopian I agree, but could be achievable.
My blog is worth $4,516.32.
How much is your blog worth?
