My ramblings for the week

First off, as you might have noticed, I changed my template again. I like the colours. Clean, crisp and smooth. It reminds me of some moments in my past: the warm crystallized sand that I used to scoop up in my hand and let slip through my fingers.

It's almost time for me to leave. I have way too much stuff for me to take along. So I decided to clear up my room today. Disposing off my belongings is an extremely hard process for me. Do I throw away this thing which might be useful in the future? What do I do with all these text books and notes from school? Most of my text books cost around 100-150 dollars, and I put in a huge effort to do those assignments. Am I to throw them all away, after four years of sweating blood for them? Shipping the books is always an option, but a friend tells me that the shipping costs would be substantially more than what I paid for the books.

I've decided to learn French again. Let's see how that goes. Pourquoi? Just because. I like learning languages. I think also brush up on a couple of other languages. I've had enough of computer languages for now. I feel I need to get in touch with my inner self, regain that bit of human emotion that I seem to have lost.

A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it. - Rabindranath Tagore

What now?

This summer has certainly been very different from the ones I'm normally accustomed to. I have gone through different emotional states in these past couple of months. First, it was the sheer joy and relief after graduation: the culmination of four years of youthful exuberant optimism and excitement, frustration, disappointment, sleeplessness and good times. The joy of graduation eventually being displaced by frustration, bitterness, anxiety and irritability attributed to the less than fruitful job search. Now, as I decide to leave my beloved hogtown to pursue other options, I have gone into this state of nonchalance. The past three weekends have been absolutely awesome. I had lots of fun, and have connected with a lot of people who were only peripheral to my life before, but I would really like an idea as to where I'm heading now.

I have no idea as to what my future has in store for me. All I have are my hopes and (broken?) dreams. What's even worse is that I sense this chapter of my life will be repeated 2 or 3 years down the line.

Is this to be my fate, my destiny? Or is this the darkness before the light? While the optimist-realist in me hopes it's the latter, the fact is that I see much less deserving people in a better position than me, or, on the other end of the spectrum, people who have a golden opportunity to get something good going for them, yet for some reason, refuse to take it, a golden opportunity that I would so dearly love to have.

I need Lady Luck to smile down upon me. I need to see my lucky star. I need some meaning in my life.

Is there life out there?

Australian scientists have discovered a huge gaseous planet thats about 1,000 times the size of the Earth. It's been named OB05-071A, and it is located in the very same galaxy we inhabit.

The Milky Way is only one of perhaps millions of galaxies out there and there are probably billions of undiscovered planets out there in the vast, ever-expanding universe. Is there life somewhere out there? If you happen to be an alien from outer space reading this blog, please leave a comment. I'd like to have a chat with you over wings and a couple of beers.
