Ushering Melancholy And 2012
Melancholic. I’ve used this word so much that it means little. Should I say I feel bleak, hopeless, gloomy and dreary instead? The new year has prodded me into thinking about life and what will happen after my stint at the army. It has reminded me about why my desire to be happy is just a pipe dream; and I’ve been sucessful at forgeting this dreadful reason for months, until now. Like I said in my prior post, don’t judge me or presume you know me. Don’t ask me the wherefores of my sadness out of curiosity. Don’t talk down at me. At the same time, shut the fuck up about god. I feel as if I’m stuck in another dimension, while everyone else is moving on with life, settling down in normalcy and conventionalism. I guess, this is...
Body Language And My Businesses
These days, I’ve been studying body language; how to read people through their behaviour and how to alter my own body language to enhance my communication prowess. I have trouble recalling the individual non-verbal indicators and therefore shall try to summarise similarities in these indicators into a mindmap or chart. Thereafter, I have to practice base-lining the body language of individuals, while analysing if their speech is congruent with their behaviour. This goal of mine is far from being accomplished. And I have decided to make a project out of it on my other site at iKinesics. Besides body language, I have been working on two new businesses. One of them is an addition of a new domaining business model to my current domain names business. The other...
Living In Another Land And Writing A Novel
“Nothing is bleaker than the future, except perhaps the past.” - A remark by a geisha on the war, Memoirs of A Geisha Sorry, no items available to list. I spent the morning contemplating (and worrying) over how life will pan out after I have served the military. Long have I discovered that life rarely takes on the path of your desires. And my desires are many. Before the age of thirty, I intend to migrate out of this country to another. My reasons for doing so are purely personal. I want to be a businessman who runs his own business, with a portfolio of investments. And I’d like to author fictional stories as a part-time job. Amidst all this, I want the time to train in Aikido (or Aikijujutsu) and perhaps fall in love. However, when I compare...
Things To Do Before Being Conscripted
This is the year when I’ll be conscripted into the military. Before that happens, I intend to do these things: 1. Attain Silver for NAPFA The two obstacles that I face in this physical fitness test are the standing broad jump and pull ups. I must be in time to take the test in mid April. 2. Learn to do the Melbourne Shuffle I’ve fallen in love with shuffling ever since I’ve seen it done on YouTube. But after seeing some girl at Powerhouse shuffle, I’m determined to master it. Muahaha! 3. Gardening and re-potting After my efforts at weeding months ago, the aloe vera plant is flourishing. Baby aloe veras are sprouting and I intend to re-pot them. 4. Write one short story I’ve said on several occasions that I want to write short...
Happy 2010 and Resolutions
We live in a world of uncertainty. Everyone hurts so badly that they’ve become compassion-less. Familiarity is comfort; selective reality is medicine to assuage the suffering. Today, I’m here to renew my vow to reach my happiness, amid the uncertainty. I vow to reach my goals my way. I will forgive and be compassionate to even those who oppose me. It doesn’t matter if I will take on a path less taken. No matter the difficulty. Even if there is little proof that my principles, ethics and path will enable me to succeed, I will push on. I will be the exception because I’m not mere statistics. I am Logen, the god of my own destiny. And I don’t give a fuck of what society expects me to do. Happy new year everyone. I resolve to stick to...
First Week To The Hectic Final Semester
This semester will be hectic. As it is, the first deadline for a crucial assignment is in slightly over a week. Most modules require intensive study. I’m going to take things one step at a time. However, I need to be more disciplined and take action to complete my work without procrastination. If I dawdle, the consequences may be dire. Logen L.
