“Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger”
I think this post was very well crafted, and could be very potent to most of us, being a very realistic and down to earth post, without the airyfairy-ness often associated with religion.

…Or is it really a scandal?
Just because one thinks differently and lives differently doesn’t mean one is wrong or unmotivated.

iPad app for Tumblr
Anyone know of a good one? I do hope the Tumblr Team come up with an iPad version soon, primarily because I’m finding it a lot easier to type on the iPad than anything else =\

Toughness
“The ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without fracturing. Material toughness is the amount of energy per volume that a material can absorb without rupturing. It is also defined as the resistance of fracture of a material when stressed.
Toughness requires a balance of strength and ductility.”

Tis the feeling of “so much to do that I don’t feel like doing anything”. Not that I could even if I wanted to today.
Bleh
Once again i had a long text post done but tumblr erased it all. Meh.

Tube travel thoughts - 19 Jan 2012
Sometimes we can’t quite explain what we’re feeling.
Take me for example. I may be a pessimist to say so, but generally I feel like I’ve had a rough track, though people may or may not agree. Then again, only I know what I’ve been through and what goes on behind the smile. Most of my friends find that I’m unbelievably jaded and some even think I was ignorant and...
Walked home from the station “accompanied” by an Audi with blue “eyelights” playing the Terminator theme. Skynet is closer than we thought.
Opinions
Word.
rubyrenegade:
Everyone has a right to their own opinions. If you don’t like something, there’s no point in anyone trying to change your mind. However, if you choose to insult someone directly, it would be considered hating. Wether or not you try and counteract your hate with “Well, I said she was pretty”, it was still a directly negative comment. If you don’t know me personally, you have...

Dear Parents (and Prospective Parents)
These are your child(ren) speaking, or at least some of us.
We want you to know that we love you very very much, and we know the lengths you have gone to take care of us. Shuttling us around, sending us for classes (even the ones we didn’t want to take - hey, after a while we have to admit that they did us some good, even if it wasn’t the good that either of us intended to happen),...

Breaking the Silence
It’s been a while since i posted up here anything of personal value or meaningful thoughts and so much has happened since then. So here i am, redrafting my supposed New Year’s post while i desperately browse through readings for an idea to start research with again (which i desperately need) and eating what’s left of a Ben and Jerry’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough pint.

Exactomondo. But at least you try to go down fighting, and you fight to get back up again, no matter how hard it always is.

Fallow
This blog has lain fallow for a long long while, with nothing much going up - only random thoughts and little snippets of my mind. I once wanted to keep writing articles, keep putting something of thought up everyday, like one of the blogs i read most regularly and still enjoy reading on a daily basis, written by someone i deeply respect.
I’ve grown adverse to putting things up on the...
Familiarity breeds contempt
…though maybe not so much to that extent.
The thing is, being only human, we have the tedency to forget about those we see everyday, the ones we love and care for the most. We are so used to them being there that we “take it for granted” and forget to consider their feelings, especially with our words and actions. And sometimes it’s not really a big thing - something not...

What you need to know to be a real adult.
Expectations
So simple sometimes, yet so hard to fulfill. It’s the irony when it means everything before it is explained, and after it is, it loses all meaning.
Perhaps it’s precisely because it was fulfilled without saying that means the most. But how does another know if it wasn’t expressed? After all, another person lives in another life, another perspective, where love and care is...
Why some things don't matter and why some do
natsufeelings:
Tonight everyone’s gone off to town but I can’t stop thinking about you These beautiful girls are all around but the lives they live aren’t true
Many things oh so many that tempt me Pretty faces and smiles amass But nothing comes closer than sitting by your side but it’s you that is missing tonight.
So now you see why I’m scared I can’t open up my heart without a care But here I go, it’s what I feel
