Life is made of relating moments. One moment leads to another. Once a moment is gone, it is gone forever. But sometimes you can notice it and capture it for reflection in the future. This blog is an attempt to do just that. Enjoy.
1,2,3,4 This is it, Here I stand I’m the light of the world I feel grand And this love, I can feel And I know, Yes for sure It is real
And it feels as though I’ve seen your face a thousand times And you said you really know me, yourself And I know that you have got addicted with you eyes But you say you’re gonna leave it for yourself Oh I never heard a single word about you Falling in love wasn’t my plan I never thought that I would be your lover Come on please just understand
This is it Like I said I’m a light of your world run away we can feel This is real Every time I’m in love yeah I feel
And I feel as though I’ve known you since a thousand years And you tell me that you’ve seen my face before And you said to me that you don’t want me hanging around many times wanna do it here before Oh yeah I never heard a single word about you Falling in love wasn’t my plan I never thought that I would be your lover Come on please understand
This is it I can feel I’m the light of the world This is real feel my song we can say And I tell you feel that way
And it feels as though I’ve known you for a thousand years And you said you saw my face yourself And you said want to go with you all the while And I know that it’s really for myself Oh yeah I never heard a single word about you Falling in love wasn’t my plan I never thought that I would be your lover Come on please dear understand
I never heard a single word about you Falling in love wasn’t my plan I never thought that I would be your lover Come on dear please understand Oh yeah
I never heard a single word about you Falling in love wasn’t my plan
The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office. -- Robert Frost
I wonder how to live my life sometimes With monsters going in and out With darkness blinding my sight With the light beating only inside With sages and wise men telling things far away With the soul yearns for freedom
Why?
What is life worth living? What is life worth dying for? I'm on the edge With the grim reaper waiting...
There is no middle path It's living or dying It is right or left It is walking his path or her path or your path It is history or future It is golden cage or open wilderness
Oh, I chose the latter And I left the other for another day Quitters can win They just never talk about it Using a pencil to cut down the oak tree Sometimes perseverence don't pay Climbing the castle to find it's vampire's
It's living or dying. It's giving or sucking. It's mine or theirs. It's hero's or bandit's.
Life is not black or white but left or right not a straight path but a maze whether I make the choice Or too lazy to think for myself
Bang! Awakening one day I realize the fork is near a choice has to be taken and bear the risk oh I'm very afraid leaving the golden cage to the wilderness in front
but...
but...
now, this bird can fly and I'm not alone I'm not alone I'm not alone
This one goes out to the man who mines for miracles This one goes out to ones in need This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical This ain't about no apology This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry This road was paved by the winds of change Walking beside the guilty and the innocent How will you raise your hand when they call your name?
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, We weren’t born to follow Come on and get up off your knees When life is a bitter pill to swallow You gotta hold on to what you believe Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow And that your saints and sinners bleed We weren’t born to follow You gotta stand up for what you believe Let me hear you say Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, ooooohhh, Yeah
This one's about anyone who does it differently This one's about the one who curses and spits This ain’t about our living in a fantasy This ain’t about giving up or giving in
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, We weren’t born to follow Come on and get up off your knees When life is a bitter pill to swallow You gotta hold on to what you believe Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow And that your saints and sinners bleed We weren’t born to follow You gotta stand up for what you believe Let me hear you say Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, ooooohhh, Yeah
Let me hear you say Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, oooohhhhh, Yeah
“Guitar”
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, We Weren’t born to follow Come on and get up off your knees When life is a bitter pill to swallow You gotta hold on to what you believe Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow And that your saints and sinners bleed We weren’t born to follow You gotta stand up for what you believe Let me hear you say Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, ooooohhh, Yeah

I won't stay in this static stance for a long time. It has been a long three years and I always wait for weekend since a few months ago. Now it's the time for me to move on.
I've prepared for this day since the first day I enter my career, that it is only for temporary. I AM NOT MY CAREER. I never identify myself with any labels this world can label, expect naturally, I am my parent's boy and my wife's husband. But that is the only two things that feels real. For a long time, I'm a also a part time investor, business owner, gamer, writer, aikidoka, friend, etc. I'm a lot of of people into one. But this "staff" role is taking about 95% of my energy and leaving the 5% to share between the others. Why? Because I'm a naturally morning person, about 60% of my work is done before 11 am. And after 6 pm, I almost shut down.
The so-called "sacrifice" is not worth it.
I can't concentrate in the office is the other reason I need to move on. Despite the bad office layout and lack of privacy and the constant interruption from my colleagues, I also have about several things in my mind at a time. For example, my wife, the stock market, my business, my apartment rent, etc. And I can't focus on any of them in the office, or just the one-hour-time-at-lunch to do it all. It's painful. And also stupid in a way, I think.
I should have move on a long time ago, but I still need the financial support and eventhough it's meager, but I still manage to do things with my salary. Not anymore. Since the business is expanding, I don't need any salary to support myself anymore. And that's it. That's the trigger for me to move on.
Wherever you go, go with all your hearts, Confucius once said. I go with all my hearts now. Leaving nothing behind. Starting today. I'm no longer a "staff". I'm what I naturally be. A human with many interests and the will to pursue that interest, with all my heart, to the limit. If, there is a limit after all.
And guess what, the one closest to me is supporting this decision 200%. That's why I love her so much. :D
