Screen-based Existence

You wake up to ur hp alarm clock.

Morning news on the Telly.

Check Sms from previous nite.

Games & entertainment from ur PC

Working on lappy in school

Plugged into ur Ipod/MP3, wherever you go

Time to kill, movie to chill

Nowsadays, it does seem that almost every part of our life is bombarded by a digital screen. How we try to live out another existence through these digital screens. It's as if all these techno gizmos are an extension of our normal mortal selves.

Though it sometimes can be a little scary hairy mary to imagine how a puny digital screen attempts to encapsulate the whole of our being, our character. Guess thats how technology is sometimes perceived to be impersonal, especially when they are barrier-breaking and not yet widely accepted.

What an age it is to be living and breathing in now. When technology actually 'allows' one to be trapped in a digital existence. Perhaps it has been really successful at preventing us from playing a real game of soccer in the sun, with dirt and violence thrown in. Perhaps it has been really successful in preventing us from taking that dirty sweaty hike to experience a certain sunrise, the cool calm air, and above all the breathtaking scenery.

In a way i guess technology has allowed us to be complacent in our cement abodes, to try to take in experiences virtually. Indeed the leaps in technology has greatly improved the overall audio-visual experience we can get from digital outlets, but in how many instances can it beat the real thang?

I guess personally im the type who does not like to stay indoors for too long..i fact i react qte adversely to prolonged air-conditioning..i rather be out in the sun doing anything...whether its just for a simple dip to a leisurely hike to an excruciating game of soccer..

Really miss hiking and camping and outdoor cooking...haha

I believe that

To Love is not to Posess

Sometimes u gotta set ur loved one and ur heart free to find true Love

Some say we should fight for our Love and for our Destiny

I guess i have done that before, with mixed results

At this point in Life, i've learned that sometimes

The greatest fight we have to put up with is

Ourself.

And that is one fight no one can help you with

A fight that you have to win.

Only after i won the greatest fight with myself did

I know how to win many other battles without a fight

Only then did i know how to set my heart free

Well if there's one thing i learned in life...

There ain't really such a thing as "The One"

I used to be qte a dreamer, qte a Romantic, qte absorbed in drama,
yes despite my usual cynic outlook

But nope that is not to say i'm not a believer in Fate
As much as i beleive in His great plan for me, i also feel that we are who we are
making the friends we make, indulging in encounters we have, all
also as a part of where the great ship of Fate steers us.

In this heady age where even
relationships become disposable to a certain extent
I think when two minds/hearts are able to come together and mingle
like two wisps of air forever chasing each other and wafting upwards
There is cause for applause and cheer

As knick-knacked as it may be, i guess we should forever treasure
this gaseous bind, whether it illuminates or it suffocates
i guess once again it's how both manouevre against the forces that be
that try to manipulate, castigate

Most imptly i guess both must make space for a foreign body
Only then can a venn union be made
For once we dwell in the well of love, we never do belong to ourselves
completely anymore.
