incessant rambling

It was a sign, me travelling on the 31st of December 2004. Local superstition held that whatever you are doing during New Year's eve is a portent of your incoming year. If that's the case then I'd be jetsetting or moving all over the place this year. Not that I hate the idea, then again... So far I've quit my job 1st Jan 2005, moved out of my house 7th Jan 2005, flew out of Sri Lanka to Malaysia 11th Feb, celebrated Cong Xi Fa Chai (Chinese New Year) in an absurdly desserted Kuala Lumpur, checked in checked out of my hotel on the 12th, moved to a friend's place and went bar hopping on the same night, had breakfast, lunch and dinner in different restaurants in one day on the 13th, went to Church where people sell all kinds of services, wares and what have you right at the gate. I of course concluded my whirlwind of a tour with a purely platonic date with my girl-friend on the 14th in Petronas Tower (magnificent view of the towers at night!). Sights visited: Merdeka S...

When Atheists claim there is no God, they validate the existence of God. For us to deny God, we first need to acknowledge that God exists. I pity the people who claim that God does not exist. In times when trials are great that our simple humanity can not comprehend the tribulations we face in life, I rest assured in the thought that I can turn to God and give up my pain. I live in His Grace knowing that I will always have someone who will stand by me when things are not in their best. He once asked, if I did not give you all you asked of Me, would my Grace be enough? Grace in life that comes with the understanding that there are other rewards than those that we can count and buy in life. When you have no one to turn to at times of great sorrow, you only have only yourself to ask - I am in control of my destiny, what have I gotten myself into? Be careful who you ask, it just might be the Devil masquerading as your thoughts. Thank you Lord for this pain, it reminds me I am merely human....

If God had Intended Today to be Perfect, He Wouldn't Have Made Tomorrow. - Anonymous Very apt for days that are going bad, or days that are not going the way you planned. Nevertheless, we should always remember, that a tomorrow is there to start a new day and an opportunity to make it perfect. What I've learned is that every day is a choice we make. We should all expect a perfect day, and if things fall short we would still have a good day. If we are going through the day expecting the worst, we fall into our own self-fulfilling prophesies.... Human psychology teaches us that people reflect us. Simply meant, what we put to the world is reflected back at us by those we touch during the course of the day. Reflection and Projection is a concept that needs to be understood by each individual. We project how we want people to react to us, and quite often people reflect or mimic our actions. Learn to smile, and I assure you that you will not go through a day without som...

I just officially turned Red Hat... actually, am using Fedora Core 2 for my laptop and am finding it very addictive.... the downloads though is really starting to annoy me as it is taking a freaking long time to download. Nevertheless, i think it will be staying with me for a while... a long while.

I wish I had, but it has been a long dry spell. Nevertheless, don't expect a juicy tale about me-sexcapades. This is just a quick note that I am currently doing a training right now. Interesting. Very Interesting.

It is 2:20AM and am getting ready to pack my laptop, some reading material that needs to be done over the weekend and I realize I am taking home some more work. Not that I am particularly happy about it but then again, what needs to be done... Le mantendré fijado todo en qué sucede durante el fin de semana. Necesito ahora dormir. Véale la semana próxima.

The US and Israel calls him a terrorist. I wonder. No, this is not to justify his actions, or give my two cents worth of journalism in a topic that's already becoming common fodder in cnn, bbc, channelnewsasia etc.. (Yasser Arafat died Thursday, November 11, 2004 3:30AM in Paris, France) I just happened to get a peek on his life for the past weeks, months and the days prior to his death and I wonder why a man labeled as a terrorist has eyes that speak so much of pain and sorrow, but not the cold madness that one usually expects from a "terrorist". Was he a victim of circumstances and a system that kept him trapped not just by Israel but among his own people? In the end, God only can give his soul rest and peace, I can only wish the same for Palestine and Israel. ps. (There is an interesting timeline that traces his life published in cnn.
