and i just started reading.. need a space of some good place to start with... and since my summer school starts next Sunday, we got a problem..
but who cares,, i'm still reading again.. and more thing,, i'm still taking photos.. today was a dust-free day thank GOD for that.. and what better thing than photography, since i didn't do that for like 2 weeks.. had this shot..
Cropped.. thanks to a flickr comment to a bigger photo.. i was telling my mom today, it's nice to see the sun again.. ( Leo.. lol) haha..
ok now, back to reading.. then sleeping.. got some soap soccer tomorrow in the afternoon..
nyty nyte!
and i got loads of photos to upload,, but i got you some of them here..
usually when i go out, i take lots of photos, in an average of 100 photos for each day i go out for the sake of photography... and i keep them for the days i can't go out, so i just put then in the process of editing and then upload them to flickr or here.. ok,, enough crap!
i love this one... it's a masterpiece of everything, depth of field.. rule of 3rds, editing.. everything.. colors...
yea,, i didn't know what type of editing should i do to this photo... so i figured out that i keep the green and blue only.. though they're a bit dark..
but my friend's reflection on the water surface is nice..
and yea,, this is a photo i like..
i just love the smoke, the orange color behind it gives is better clarity.. :)
well, that was for photos.... i finished
days ago... and i like it so much,, recommended.. great story, great lessons.. great writing... very nice book to read... and an original story no doubt..
i went out hunting for a new book,, and this time it was Mitch Albom again.. ! :D
i bought the book before this one,,
and i read like 16 pages of it while i was in some very crowded street...
and i like it too.. i think that i will learn a lot from it... since it's a real story...
and i got my mind on the next book too.. i'm gonna read it when i finish this book... it's Paulo Coelho's Latest...
though i never heard a thing about it before...
i had a conversation with the woman workign there about what i like and what i dont.... and she recommended this to me...
let's see how it turns out..
since it's been quite some time since i last opened a book in the sake of fun.. or just to kill some time,,
and because i had no idea about what's going on in the world of books... and i didnt hear anyone of my friends talking about a book or a novel or whatever,, i decided to go discover by my own.. and since im "so experienced" in 1st impression, i went to the mind/body/spirit section in Virgin Megastore and decided to take a look around...
after staying for some time looking for something i found " the secret " but when i asked, it was exactly the same as the movie so i said,, why? i don't need to watch and read... though reading is more concentrated for me.. but no...
then i opened " manual of the warrior of light " for the great Paulo Coelho ,, read some parts of it.. it looked good because i like inspirational books.. and i dont know i didnt buy it coz it seemed like a good light read that you open almost everywhere and read... so i looked through it for a while and it was good...
but i took this
and why? i don't know... i really don't know...
saw Coelho's comment about it, so i thought " If Coelho said that, so this HAS TO BE GOOD " ...as simple as this..
when i went to the cashier i said to him:
M - " i don't know why i bought this book,, but i did "
C - " maybe it has it's magic "
M - " i don't know.. all because it's been a while since i last read something and im not updated so i thought lemme go and just buy something "
C - " well, people are buying this book, lots of people are "
M - " yea i saw lots of it so i said, this has to be either a very good book or a very bad book .. and i went with the 1st, and i have a month of holiday from school, so i have to keep myself busy "
C - " no, actually it's a good book,, you will have fun with it "
M - trying to show off as usual " well, and learn .. ."
C - " yea,, learn too.. that's good .. have a good day "
and it's time to sleep...
*this is for foxsydee,, everything for Buble has just stopped right on time... :p
well,, thanks to my friend Dave who brought this up,, but are we really happy?
i was reading in my last book, and i like how this man is writing,, inspirational stuff..
yet, it was somehow so true... i'm gonna quote some words from one of the main characters in the novel talking about the happiness we claim to search for..
Edda: " Everything is at once so simple and so complicated!, simple because all it takes is change of attitude : i'm not gonna look for happiness anymore in my life. and complicated because everyone has taught me that happiness is the ultimate goal worth pursuing..
after all what is happiness?
they say LOVE, but love is never has brought happiness, it's a constant state of anxiety, it's sleepless nights. it's asking ourselves all the time if we're doing the right thing. Real Love is composed of Ecstasy and agony.
All right then peace? Earth is never at peace ( it happens in the novel to call earth as the mother for a reason but im referring to it's name ) the winter does battle with the summer, the tiger chases the man who's afraid of the dog, who chases the cat, who chases the mouse, who frightens the man.
Money brings Happiness.in that case, everyone who earns enough to have a high standard of living would be able to stop work. but then, they're more troubled than ever, as if they were afraid of losing everything.
i spent my life looking for happiness, now what i want is joy. Joy is like sex - it begins and it ends. i want pleasure.
i asked people the most important question: " are you happy? ", and they all reply: " yes i am! " then i ask: " But don't you want more? Don't you want to keep on growing?" and they all reply: "Of course" then I say: " Then you're not Happy!" ..
we're surrounded by Universal Desire. It's not Happiness, It's Desire. and desires are never satisfied. because once desires are there, the are ceased to be desires.
When i read those words, i couldn't believe what i was thinking that happiness is what i'm looking for.. i was looking for joy, but i was saying for happiness.. but i didn't know that.
Amazing Paulo Coelho.. i got so much respect for the man..
what do you think? Are we Really Happy? according to these words, we can't be happy.. because we keep asking for more, but are we enjoying our lives? this should be the question.. we can't stop asking for more "happiness" which happens to mean here our "JOY" ... living each moment of happiness is enjoying them.. this is it exactly.. i don't know what to say.. i'm again in one of those crossroads where i have to stop and think a lot about my life.. im just in a state of losing my concentration because of the busy mind i carry wherever i go. I'm less focused now because problems keep popping along the way. once before i was more concentrated, that was like 2 months ago but change is the only constant thing, isn't it..
i got a class in this summer course called " Heat transfer and geek stuff " .. probably you dont wanna know the name,, but what's important that our professor writes this number everyday on the top right corner ..!! i mean EVERY CLASS !! he writes the number in the beginning of the class and smiles in our faces.. !! Ok ,, in the 1st class of the semester he wrote the number and said ,, ' this number has a story i gotta tell you ,, this is :
" The number of pages you should read in order to pass this class.!!!!! " and he smiles again... like he was jokin ... then we laughed ,, then he said " Don't Laugh,, Believe me you should read all these pages,, you Have to ! " and we were like ,,, HUH!? wtf is hesayin ,,, like 842 pages full of equations and definitions and notes and shit... !! like we're really gonna do it .. !! and every single day ,, he writes this number on the top right corner of the board and he circles it .. !! and this semester is like 1 and a half months.. !! and he was serious... !!
in this week,, the 1st week of summer school... he finished 2 chapters.. this is like 80 pages of reading and problems and math and equations.. !! hahahaha ... and gave us a quiz and homework.. !! and Yet,, with all this suffering,, he doesnt talk about all the stuff,, most of it is self study !! ... it's so hard... hahaha and the funny thing that i had the quiz without a calculator.. i guessed the calculations .. ! o_0 ... hehehehe ,, i hope i dont fuck in this course too .. !!
so in order to pass this class,, i bought 3 highlighters with different colors.. in order to give my book some life.. coz it's all black and red and gray !! :/ .... and started workin...
went to starbucks yesterday and it was full of bitches and gay kuwaities.. the type of fashion losers tryin to be cool in order to get some bitches.. !! i hate my people.. most of them !! they suck..
