2011 Epilogue – Year in Review
Life has never been so different. Army came like a bombshell that shook my ground in 2010. Then in 2011, the year was almost all about it. This is what happened: TRADING MEMORIES I HELD, FOR STORIES YET UNTOLD. I realize in 2010 that if we kept too ourselves tied to the past, we can’t [...]
Of Poi Balls, Haka and people of Māori
If it wasn’t for the stunning vista of the Auckland War Memorial Museum and its glorious architecture on the Auckland Domain, I probably wouldn’t have known what is going on. It was by a chance of luck did I manage to reach the museum in time for a Māori Cultural Performance. Wikipedia says Māori are [...]
The Bucket List On Steroid.
I know. I know. I should be posting up pictures of the oh-so amazing New Zealand adventure I had. The only issue holding me back is the fact that every. single. time. I open up those pictures I go into a Holiday Withdrawal Syndromes which include regurgitation, depression and brain spasm. Until I see a [...]
Teaching a people a lesson.
My views are mixed here. I think it is rather bold and admirable that Alan Joyce grounded all domestic and international Qantas flights when those unions are demanding too much. He literally put a message across to the employees, unions and government, “don’t fuck with me or you’ll have nothing to do.” On the other [...]
Morally Bankrupt
I am extremely disturbed in many levels by a viral footage in which a 2 year-old kid was ran over by two vehicles, ignored by the community at-large and left wrenching helplessly in pain as death slowly consumes her life. Over the past few months, I have posted tweets about how appalled I was with [...]
This is the way I see it.
No one is subjected to my opinion, but I know that the way I see things would probably upset (or even offend) a certain group of people. I am entitled to my voice, and I am free to write. I may have a problem or two, but definitely not as much. At one point in [...]
There is no power greater than the will to live.
Every now and then, I would be reading a story about a soldier’s life that CNN publishes on its website. Most personal stories behind these war fighters are endearing and there are the living American heroes whose awe-inspiring act of selflessness makes me believe in the Human race. Occasionally, there are these stories of fallen [...]
A note about how stupid I was thought to be.
Firstly, I thought someone had hacked into my personal wireless network. Not only is my network secured with an alphanumeric key, it was configured not to broadcast any SSID, so that dude must be one hell of a guy! I knew it because my Internet was significantly slower and there were activities on my router [...]
My two-cents about careers, throwing Rihanna out of the car, and losing your balls.
If you were to ask me what I’d like to do for a career two years back, I could have easily answered you. I hoped to be in the financial sector doing something which had been what I thought I love. I did good, if not great, for my accounting subject in Secondary School. Balancing [...]
We dis everything.
I had a horrible dream this morning. It was so surreal and unbelievably palpable and that when I woke up on my bed in a daze, my curtain was down, my head swirled wondering if the latter was the dream. We people have an complex way of life; we are able to genetically-modify newborns to [...]
