the beauty of life

today was rather boring. i got out of bed quite late - relatively, to my recent habits, at least. There wasnt any food for lunch, so i didnt have lunch. i stayed home today, didnt have much to do. all i did was watch tv and go online. what more can u do when ur at home? going to watch spiderman tomorrow though, so kinda looking forward to that. quite a lot have watched it, so yea, im just anxious to see this movie that everyone says is so good. im sure it is, so, yea.. tick, tock, tick, tock.. time cant move any faster than now, even if it does, its just in the mind. dont u agree? time moves so fast when u want it to go slow, and it moves so slow when u want it to go fast. but right now, its moving at its normal pace for me, because i want it to go faster and to slow down at the same time. so i guess it got kind of confused, so time gave up on trying to confuse me. smart, dont u think? i beat time!

but time, its really something very complicated - then again, everything is complicated once u start to think about it, but just for the sake of this post, i'll just say "time is complicated". I mean, imagine, once it has passed, once the clock has ticked, it can never go back again. unless, of course, u turn the dial the other way round, but thats another story, for another day, when im really out of ideas to write. ah, see, now i can sense that u guys are just edging on ur seats, waiting for that story. dont worry, the day'll come. time will pass, and time will come, and time will never go away. see, now that there is proof of what i was saying, how complicated time is. how can the same thing that never happens twice, come again after it has passed? and how can it come AGAIN, if it can never go away? i dont know whether this is just the complicity of time, or a defunct of the language. ah, theres another topic - defunct of the language. again, another topic for another day, have patience, dear readers. trust in fate, and let time decide.

ok, back to business, about time. think back into ur past. think about the decisions uve made, actions uve done, words uve said. how many times have u regretted doing something uve done? how u wish u could go back into time and undo what u did. and how many times have u come to realize the vicious mercilessness of time. lifetimes pass, people pass on, and people live on. the living mourn the dead, mourning what they should have done with the deseased, mourning what they did and didnt do. maybe thats a curse of life. people dont regret until its too late. but maybe thats why they call it regret, because its too late. why is it too latE? because time never turns.

perhaps, time isnt so complicated after all. perhaps, its just us, people, humans, beings, who make life so complicated. "live life to the fullest", practically everyone has heard of that expression. "this is it", is something that less have heard of, but makes about the same sense. people complain about what they didnt or did do. But thats just it, dont waste time. the mysteries of time is unraveled with just a few words (i doubt to add "of wisdom") - dont waste time. Live life at the present. forget the past, live the present, plan the future. and dont just nod ur head in realization when u think about it, apply it, right now. i know its much harder to do than say. i need more practice myself. but i just feel like saying it. perhaps it'll help me more in my application, who knows?

time.. when we do look back, make sure its with a smile, fondly remembering all the good times we had, the laughter we shared, the times we shared, good and bad.. time, though frustrating at times, is what makes life, and every single second, so precious and beautiful, because every second is a new and different second. ah.. the beauty of life..

hehe...well...SPIDERMAN is a darn GOOD MOVIE...u will learn bout few things tat u can relate to life-FORGIVENESS...COMMITMENT...FRIENDSHIP...nd the list goes on and on....well....time never waits for any man...haha...same with life...life keeps moving on in par with time regardless of YOUR PAST doings....theres lots of things in life I regret doing...I am sure all of us feel the same way as I do...haha...but then...remember count the blessings you have,min....all the friends or should I say brothers and sisters you gain along the way...theres this particular song...its quite relevant to life itself...the chorus is something like this: Your life is a flashback,
a question, a photograph.
A statement, a story, a struggle,
a chance to laugh.
'cause if you don't laugh you cry
a last crescendo when you die.
so hit the rewind and listen
it's the playback
the Soundtrack to your life
....hehe...

yea..time..really is some complicated stuff..until i have to read this stuff 2 times to get my comment in here..well, time passes fast, and of the past, im glad things happened in thier own way. Something happened becuz it's meant for us to learn from it. And some other things just happened for some unknown reasons..If you give me a time machine now, i wouldn't go back in time. Because i wouldn't want to change what had taught me to see the beauty of life. I don't want to un-learn myself.Life moves on, and we look into the future. We certainly need to look back into the past too..to see how far we'd come. Every single second we spent breathing in air is our life. There's nothing much more to say in here. Time, we cant turn back, but life, we can look ahead of it, and live the best out of it.

true.. our past teaches us about life. mistakes and regrets are what make a successful future, in a weird way in its own rights. Everything thing that has happened has brought us to where we are, and will bring us to where we are meant to be. ;)
