Gifts

Daily Words 2010. 2. 16. 17:40
Until gifts are sent,
I always focus on pleasing the recipient.
But when I hear that the recipient was pleased,
I myself feel like on cloud nine.

Then I wonder: was the gift for the recipient or for me?

Then I refute myself: Dumbass. Everyone involved is happy; that's two birds with one stone. Enjoy the moment.

For that, I was extremely happy today.
For I could hear exuberant jubilation on the other end of line.

Spring

Daily Words 2010. 2. 15. 14:32

Spring has arrived.
My neighborhood is filled with flowers.
It's the time to go to Napa for wine and flowers.
This time of the year, Napa is filled with mustard flowers (yellow) and cherry blossoms (pink).

I might go there next weekend or so if it's sunny.
I want to take pictures even if I won't be drinking wine (coz I'd be going alone).
I want to take pictures of cherry blossoms before they fade away.

After winter, it's time to blossom for them.
Sometimes a failure reminds me of the times I blossomed.
I was too cocky anyway.
I should be more humble and be more diligent.
There is always another chance and not that much time was actually wasted.

Isn't it funny how another soul can make up a tormenting day.

PS: Pictures taken using iPhone - poorer quality than usual.

As an Observer

Daily Words 2010. 2. 9. 17:43
I've always been an outsider;
I've always been an observer
--- of the humanity.
(That's very extreme, but sometimes that's how I feel.)
I've always had hard time fitting in - although I have friends here and there with numerous acquaintances.
(I think I have so many acquaintances because I remember them with my superb memory and they remember me due to my unique background.)

Also, I am one of the best in picking up patterns: be it something graphical, mathematical, tabular or behavioral.
I am also great at picking up signs.

As an observer,
I would not know reasons for it.
The reasons for whatever I noticed are something only an insider would know.
But I am just an observer. I know when I see a pattern or a sign and what it implies.

The unknown reasons are conundrums that I would ponder often for days,
but I know sometimes it's best just to let it go.

I am done forcing anything in the universe.
I just want to go with the flow - although I am still learning how to do it right.

First time listening to hip hop in months.
I was deeply immersed in J-Pop for months.
Once in a while, it's nice to go back to my old taste.
But tomorrow at work, I will probably go back to Misia.
