The Other Side Of The Bubble

So I see right through me, And I know what I've been up to. So I see right through you, And I know the things you do... -Lene Marlin, So I See

Xrays are so funky. This is one of me from a chiropractic visit. Apparently my hip is skewed, my spine is too rigid (straight) and my neck is too slouched. Basically, my bone structure and posture is pretty stuffed. Apparently it is partly due to the fact that I'm so damn tall that I have a complex that I should be shorter and I slouch everytime I'm around shorter people, which is pretty often. HAHA...

I will be away for a week next week. In Perth playing badminton for the state. I feel so unqualified, and I hope we won't be completely thrashed... but we'll see what happens.

I feel 'compassion' is such an important trait to have. I think what the world needs now is not 'love, sweet love', but compassion. It has a stronger pull, it is solid, yet it somehow connotates a sense of commitment and selflessness. This is from my personal viewpoint of its definition. Some might say it is a subset of love, but I think it's strong enough to sit alone. Perhaps the attractiveness of the word is due to the fact that it incorporates the word 'passion'. That, mixed with a sense of softness and consideration. I think it's a beautiful word... A word that brings to mind a gripping altruism in a kind and emotional kinda context. Very sexy.

The past week has made me realise how important it is to have a dream, a vision (a plan?). Without this, there is nothing but a constant drone of 'everydayness' and 'currentness' to our lives. This then causes us to remain stangnant instead of accelerating towards a goal which gives us purpose. In the world we're living in, it is increasingly hard to be impulsive. If trips weren't planned, they wouldn't happen. If we elope with someone, there would be consequences. It's always exciting to be extraordinary and different...that's why adventurous and impulsive people are so fun to be with and admirable to some. But at the end of the day, society is non-impulsive. Bills come on specific days, work starts at a specific time, petrol prices follow economic trends etc etc. And 'improptuness' or 'impulsiveness'....although a novelty at one time.....becomes hard to handle if not moderated.

Going to sleep now....waking up early to book tickets to see Muse. I'm finally going to watch Muse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In photos, you are always the shortest in it but in real life, you are the tallest person haha. Since you are always in photos, i think your slouching has caused some permanent damage.

I dun have much comment about the compassion part. Its always good to be able to love and be loved, have and to feel a sense of compassion. Its always not the case, thats life i guess.

Only the past week you realised how important it is to have a dream/vision?????? hahahahaha
I think you always realise it but you just havent followed it. I think in the past week, it wasnt realisation, it was discovery of your strength within yourself(and maybe and most prob from the help of your family and friends). You always had strength but someone always tend to weaken it, ironically, always someone close.

Impulse or being impulsive... I agree, it is so fun and all. Teenages are often impulsive because they have less or no responsibilities. tO Go out and splash $$$ on all types of shit which only are only good for a short time is still survivable... knowing that there is still food on the table at home.. or more like at least there is a home to go back to! Dont get me wrong, we can still be impulsive now...being mid 20s.. but moderation should have kicked in for most of us who shares a similar vision of having a good future. most of us cannot afford to be impulsive 24/7 now.. If you can, you must have a good job or some special skill, good on ya, you deserve it! being impulsive just once in while is good, i spash on shoes and food, i think sometimes i regret it and lose sleep over it. oh well, thats me.. because i know each dollar counts and I am always thinking of owning a home or a car.. or an engagement ring for gf. It is a pity most of us are drowned in feelings of 'everydayness' and 'currentness', but thats sustainability that most people prefer over the 'other'. There is too much risk in a volatile, or so called rolla coaster ride relationship. Maybe if i was still 20... but i am not and if i am super impulsive and cant afford to, i think i can forget about the engagement ring....

Muse, is that an animal?
