the last dance

"The more attached I become to something, as the Buddhists believe, the more I set myself up for misery, the more I become needy. June, my ex-wife, used to tell me I couldn't enjoy winning, but that wasn't true. I certainly did enjoy winning, except that like everything else in life, the feeling doesn't last. Everything decays. Tex, who is definitely no Buddhist, has a saying I've grown to love: "You are only a success at the moment that you do a successful act." You can't be a success the next moment because you have already moved on to do something else, even if it's accepting the award for the successful moment that just passed. That is why I've always told my players the glorification comes from the journey, not the outcome." -- Phil Jackson, The Last Season, p. 111-112

me and a shoebox of memories

~ A lot has happened during the past weeks and it has been nothing but another roller-coaster ride ... i can't be more happier for my friends who celebrated their commencement day on june 11; and i must say that i am very proud of all of them and that i am glad to be a part of the entire experience .. just being there means a lot to me .. hihihi .. With that being said, as we all pretty well know by now, every graduation signifies another closure of an era to be written into our very own history book - at least for myself - .. and almost every ending comes with a bitter sweet farewell to our close ones .. like they say, the show must go on .. and so there goes another face in town, quoted by Quenton ... hehehehe .. thus, to all my friends who have embarked on a new journey wherever you are, i bid you farewell and good luck ... i hope time will allow us to meet again and til then, stay low .. ^^ .. cheers to y'all ~

~ Gotta to be honest here, work has not been - should i say - mentally pleasant down here .. it's taking so much outta me that i couldn't really enjoy a decent nite asleep .. sighs .. but wat the heck, it's a job .. gotta do wat one's gotta do sometimes .. hihihihi .. me = just trying to keep the positive energy alive every now and then .. and i think i am getting the hang of it a'ite .. ^^ .. hihihi .. besides tat, this work has kept me so far apart from the full packed actions of none other than the World Cup ..

~ There's been alot in my mind recently .. personal and not so personal .. personal being family n myself .. and everything else making up the not-so-personal category .. wakakakka .. tat's kinda obvious, isn't it? LOL .. *see wat i mean* .. Have you ever felt like you know everything about your future - well, at least, your own belief and imagination of your future - and suddenly you begin to lose your way through it? you feel like you know and you try to paint it, but wat you see within is not what you sketched .. sighs .. it's definitely not a good feeling .. and it's taking a major toll on me lately .. so rite now, i am trying to live it one day at a time .. hope this works .. but we'll see .. nothing is ever certain .. nothing is forever ..... ~
