Cool Weirdos

We play Magic: The Gathering stuff. And most people, the ladies actually, call us weird, a bunch of guys playing trading cards. I always try to explain (not defend) to them that this is not just a trading card game, and basically not for kids because it needs a lot of thinking and strategies. They would just usually shrug their shoulders off (Oh, why would I try to do the explaining thingy, its useless by the way for ladies). I remember one of my teammates told me that it's a nice way to find a girl who would try to understand you if you would explain to her this Magic thing. If you really could find one, don't let her go, because she surely would try to understand you if you're gonna try to explain yourself on going out with friends on Saturday night. Well, we found out that later that to find that particular type of a lady is not really that hard. (",)

The Road That I Soon Must Be Taking (a parody)

A parody may be a mockery, but in my case, it is a salutation. I have a great respect for Robert Frost and his writings. In his poem, he chooses to take the road less travelled. In my case, I am planning to take both road by moving each closer to each other so that I could land my feet on both at the same time. It may not be possible but it's just an optimistic act.

I dont take any claim from this poem. I am just expressing an experience I just had in a way using the poem, "The Road Not Taken" written by a master, Robert Frost.

The Road That I Soon Must Be Taking (a parody)

Two roads diverged in an unfamiliar wood,
And sorry I would try to travel both
And as a tough traveller, long I stood
To grab down each one nearer as I could
To where they bent in the undergrowth;

I'll took this, and the other with a lady fair,
And having both perhaps the better claim,
Because this was grassy for all I swear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had never worn them really and not the same,

And both soon one morning they'll equally lay
In leaves with my steps trod in black.
Oh, I kept them both for not another day!
Though not knowing how both will lead my way,
But I doubt if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with not a single sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a now familiar wood, and I--
I took both one more and one less traveled by,
And that has sure made all the difference

You had me at Halu

Today I feel happy, tremendously. And all you can see painted on my face is a great smile. My princess, as what she had promised, had emailed me this morning. I wasn't surprise because i ,kind of, know her somehow, she always keep her promises, what makes me feel great is the thought of sending me an email right after she had her email account. Honestly, a single message from her is enough to light my whole day. And she started her message with a 'Halu..'. Oh man, what a great day. She had me at 'Halu'.

Leavin on a jet plane...

It was a gloomy day. All I can say when I woke up this morning is a simple, "bye bye princess". Today the princess of my hidden kingdom had flown abroad for her business trip. She will probably be back on the 27th of February.And I think I will be going to Tokyo next month for two years. I will only have a very short chance of seeing her again. She promised, though, to email me, and I promised to keep in touch with her. I will surely miss her but I hope I wont be missing her that bad. She is a good friend, one that you would find hard to let go. Today, I will be attending a Prerelease Tournament for MTG, but surely, I will be thinking of her.

No matter what, princess, part of me will always be with you, till you bring it back for me when we meet again. Be fine.

Good and Bad

It has come to my terms to tackle the idea of what is good, and what is bad. What is good? Basically, it is something acceptable by the society, it is the norms of the people surrounding you. What is good in one group could be bad in the other group. With these bases, it could be easier to say that the word 'bad' is just a term to measure something that isn't good? That there is no such thing as bad thing. Only something that is not good. The term bad is just a term of a measurement of standard wherein you bypass the standard below the 'good' scale. The scale or the unit of measurement is good. Bad is a virtual thing and Good is the real thing. The same is true with darkness and light. How will you know if a room is dimly lighted, or brightly lighted? If a closed room has not a single light enters it, there is no possibility that you can increase the intensity of its darkness, but of course, you can increase the intensity of light in a room. Which means darkness is somewhat a term used to describe the absence of light. A room maybe dim, dark, or brightly lighted based upon the measurement of light or the intensity of light that fills it. Just like in temperature, it is virtually impossible to go beyond 450 picokelvin (the lowest recorded manmade temperature) because that is the farthest man can do to remove heat (kinetic energy of a molecule) from a single matter. Which, in parallel, agrees with the fact that there is no such thing as cold but mainly a term used to describe the absence of a specific amount of heat. Now, it’s your turn to propose this kind of argument between Good and Evil.
