Well, the internet is crawling and Facebook is bugged. Best things to happen at a perfect time. Hope the underwater cable can be fixed soon.

Sometimes, I feel that I'm demanding too much from myself and others. Must learn to relax and go easy on things. But it doesn't mean I have given up on certain things. Running away from reality isn't going to help much and the past will catch up on you someday. It is actually proof that you are alive in this world. Speaking about the past catching up, I met up with Joel after a long hiatus. Seeing him is like dealing a punch in my guts...well...I am just going to say I got motivated again. Since he signed on the Air Force, that explains the need to stay in shape.

Photographs do tell a lot. You can actually see whether the persons inside are actually smiling or faking smiles. Well, we are expected to smile during a shoot. We can also see whether a person is in harmony or in good terms with the rest of the people in the same photo. Well, the odd one out can be seen standing away from the group and/or near subjects that don't harmonize with the rest. Or the most obvious situation is that you don't see the person at all. Of course, there are people who are shy at the camera like me. LOL. But normally, I will be in a photo when I am needed to. It's just that most of the time I am the one taking the shot.

Hope Clarence can see it. People gather together for the sake of gathering like work or school. True friendship can only be earned when both parties learn to trust and accept each other. Learn to see who are the ones you can confide to and learn to accept any shortcomings. Our characters make what we are. Humans are not perfect and identical. We often expect people to suit us but we tend to forget that we must do our part to suit them too. Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. Sounds familiar right? LOL.

For once, the guys are doing something cohesively which is beneficial to me. I got signed up to Standard Chartered Marathon after much persuasion from Kianz and they began devising weekly running sessions. Which means I need to get a pair of running shoes soon since my last pair is about 7 years old...if you get what I mean. LOL. Expect a new skin tomorrow...
