Welcome to my world
Enjoy your stay

Someone ask me out or something, it's real frustrating to swat at maggots and flies when you're currently rotting at home. Basketball? Movies? Anyone? Shao Qiang? Sigh.
All these extra time, I like to spend them on thinking when there seems to be nothing else to do. Do not underestimate thinking, it is the process where we make some of the most important decisions in directing our lives, and our principles.
Someone once pointed out to me, that my over-obsession with the importance of appearances is undesirable. I also often hear of elders speaking on these subject, their wise words included the persuation away from the path of Narcissism. Well, I agree to a certain fading extent. Because Milan Kundera once said,
"Philosophers can tell us that it doesn't matter what the world thinks of us, that nothing matters but what we really are. But philosophers don't understand anything. As long as we live with other people, we are only what other people consider us to be."
And may I add to that fact by saying, can we possibly imagine love in such a situation where one no longer cares about how one looks in front of the other? If such a perception truely exists in an individual, then we can say that the person is not capable of loving. For when we no longer cares about how we look to the ones we loves, it means we can no longer love. Ask any woman who just looks upon her looks with utmost adoration, why does she exaggerate upon her make-up so? Are they just plain vain? Or are they doing it in the desperation of hoping to find that special someone? You'll be surprised at the answer, or perhaps not. This is because it depends on your justification towards being attractive.
I would really like to post on more of the thoughts that raced through my mind today, but that would really be driving the word count over the edge. And so, with this cogitation, signing off. Have a good day. :)
