Peace on Earth, so far

I said I'm taking hiatus from blogging but I simply can't note this down elsewhere without risking a misconception of me bragging.

Well played. I'm dumbfounded. Like a clever twist at the end of a slice of life plot. A teaser for a sneak peak of the paper - a seemingly deceiving however inspiring lecture - almost half a dozen question on -those- details. Oh Professor, that was so good, I credit my survival to a streak of dumb luck, silly "fangirlism" and serious Divine intervention. Thank God.

And that's one semester down. So now,

allons-y! Cacti must take off and fly.

On Getting Lost

Seriously, awesome weekend. Unreal.

The dream I had was surreal. Me being horrendously late was surreal. The convention I went to was surreal - I was lost more than I thought, met my freaking uni tutor at the artists' alley, who told me it's nice being lost then encourage me to be lost more often, and left feeling totally inspired to learn something new and get some business done. The performance was surreal - I nearly teared up at a scene which was mediocrely played, but the theme hit a little too close. The dinner invitation was surreal, totally unexpected, as well as my spur at the moment decision to pull out a fluffy gift, and the effect it entailed. The cancelled visit, another unplanned supper and the fact that I spent almost all of my call quota in exchange for some amusing banter in the middle of the night were, too.
The next day ran in a more orderly manner, relatively, at least. But some things still managed to escape predictions, still. The very welcoming church community being one thing, and a first bite of a whole birthday cake was another.

When schedules got messed up, when planned meetings were disregarded. When you had to spend more than you thought, and needed not to spend anything when you're prepared to do so. When you. unexpectedly, dissatisfied a person, be satisfied by someone else, satisfied another and be dissatisfied by others without any cause-and-effect link in between. When you walked blindly into unchartered future. When you got lost, in both familiar and unfamiliar places.

What would you find?

Open up your plans and damn, you're free.

Yet another example..

..of classic talk shops guys.

Nope, neither school grades nor education history provide an accurate assessment of one's basic understanding of the simple concept of propriety. Nor is one's boastful talk.

But I guess if the society is able to truly grasp this notion one day, most con men will have to run for their money.

Fortuna in Futura

The ever-so-unknown moments,
and we are looking straight at it
with stars-glazed aspirations and wonders
in mind, distant dreams
as far and careless as a moon landing.
Such youthfulness,
such beaming optimism that
is our late night bantering.
My friend, retire for the day we shall.

oh dear

Depleting energy + Excessive ideas + Excessive to-do lists + Wrong time of the day = now.

It's fun to have a mind and a universe that never cease to amuse oneself, but really, now..

Crr4y-on

When a group of people thinks you're too serious as a person..

while on the hand, another thinks you're seriously too laid back..

should you be worried about not feeling the sense of urgency of an identity crisis?

Naaah, of course not. Carry on!
