→ May 2012 I woke up from my siesta yesterday and I was severely disoriented when I found my room completely bathed in orange swatches of light. For a second I thought the world was going to end, then after a few seconds I thought maybe the North Koreans had launched another nuclear missile and somehow that made the sky orange. I wandered out of my room completely nervous, and found my little brother marveling at how orange everything was.  “Cool,” he said, and proceeded to capture the moment with his tablet. My brother isn’t prone to appreciating art and nature, so I was quite surprised when he did that. I guess that was the reassurance I needed to see the beauty of the unusual event.

randomly thinking about the future

I’ve been crossing things off my bucket list when it hit me that when I think about the rest of it I don’t really picture who I’m with, just what I’m doing. I hope when I get to make my dreams come true someday there would be someone with me because I think it’s awfully sad if I’d be there alone. I’ve never really had a problem with going solo, but it would be quite nice to feel happy and contented and share it with company, don’t you think?

ill with want

Wishlist:

1. A brand-spanking-new Macbook

2.  To see Tomy Mejias/ Sergio Canales in person (hi, if ever you see this, I have a huge crush on you. This is quite embarrassing. But ok whatever it’s highly unlikely)

3. More time to do things

4. Strength for my family and friends (this reads like a prayer) so that for every single screwy thing that happens they will always know that they will get through it, maybe not unscathed, but sill whole

5. Happiness, the kind that lights up your soul

Tall order, but hey — every person has unlimited wants. Literature says that; economics even preaches it. 

I think that a person is only truly happy when his wants, needs, and haves intersect each other. Perhaps true happiness is an asymptote. We are all trying to inch closer and closer to it until the distance is infinitesimally small. Maybe for some irrational reason we defy mathematics and reach it, but until that happens, the line continues and we never stop trying.
