Feynman and Grit

I am only halfway done reading this book, but it's really really good. 

It uses jargon, yes, but I assure you that the book doesn't go overboard.

It's amazing to get into the head of this genius (since Feynman wrote the book himself).

Plus, the short anecdotes of our hero are fun! They make me laugh, think and wonder. 

Feynman, obviously has grit (something that I've been reading about lately). 

Grit means staying true to your goals, notwithstanding hardships and difficulties.

It also means persisting, and valuing the process of creating, as opposed to results.

(Okay, this was an incoherent post. But this blog is an online record book, remember? :)) )

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Yay. :)
Now it's time to throw in more fun to my sembreak.

You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

Just A Thought

Oh wow, I've successfully thrown everyone
out of my life and now I'm alone.

Coincidence?

Yet another moment that will probably change my life forever, though I do not realize it now (Oh wait, I just did).

Still waiting for a revelation.

The M Word

Since when did I get interested in marketing?

I've been reading plenty of articles about it for the past few months.

I think my mom's college course is all about marketing too.

So look who's following her footsteps :))

(Not on a professional level though)

Note: Sorry if my blog has become a hodge-podge of semi-fuzzy ideas. From a decent online platform, it has turned out to be a messy online record book. But hey, that's just the way I like it.

Reality is better than any other thing

IN A NUTSHELL

Most awesome weekend ever! Two lovely packages + Sarah's debut + Sleepover with Adelfa and Camia girls + Fort Santiago + MOA! :)

Also, new beginnings.

NO ONE LAUGHS AT LOVE

I’m gonna write from the soul

Though you don’t deserve a song

And I shall cry my heart out

Until I laugh at love no more

You can achieve anything

That you put your heart and mind into?

Well, it’s not at all true

And it’s all because of you

You remind me of

Stolen glances

Happy places

Bittersweet moments

But mostly sad endings.

What do I remind you of?

Nothing.

And I can’t even write now because of the rolling karaoke

And the glistening water in my face

And the uncomfortable sensation from too much walking

But no

Mostly, it’s because I’ve ran out of songs

You are no longer my song

Ha-ha, ha-ha

Taking cue from Regina Spektor and whispering
(silently whimpering)
my very last song for you

No one laughs at love when it seems like forever

No one laughs at love when everything’s okay

No one’s laughing at love when God has made way for what seems to be the best story as of yet

But love could be funny

When your mind is tired

And your knees are shaking

And your heart is crying

Out of shame, regret and longing

Ha-ha, ha-ha

What could be more futile than love

Than a fertile ground in forever, frozen

A SHORT BUT IMPORTANT ANECDOTE

My family and I went to Mall of Asia to ice skate, but then there was no room for us since too many people visit on Sundays. So instead, I made hints that we should watch a movie in IMAX instead. It seems as though they didn't like the idea though. I felt kinda :| (how do I describe the feeling), but when I saw the beautiful sunset and the glistening sea, I did not protest anymore. Why settle for virtual reality, when you can have reality?

And, on a similar note, why waste time on things that cannot be, when you can choose to be happy?
