Guilty Pleasure

I've just read some blogs of my friends and from netizens whom I have never met. You might ask why do I bother reading blogs from people whom I don't know from Adam. I just find them interesting and intriguing. During the course of my blog hopping, I've encountered different kinds of blog entries.
 

Some are photo blogs. Pictures are posted and sometimes a small caption accompanies it. As the song goes, "… a picture paints a thousand words…".

Another kind of blog is that of the slambook type. The blogger posts fave lyrics of songs, poems, letters, pictures of friends and what have you.

I have also read a blog which I'd like to call an opinion blog. The entries are basically thoughts and the stand of the person on a particular issue. It is like reading an opinion column in a newspaper.

The most common type of entries are journal type blogs. It is like reading someone else's diary but with permission. For me, this is the most entertaining.

This blog reading is fast becoming a guilty pleasure. =oP

Absolutely Relative

When we were young, everything was quite simple and straight forward. Right was right, wrong was wrong. Black was black, white was white. No in betweens, you are either 0 or 1. But as we grow older, we've learned that life is not that easy. We learned that there are a lot of numbers between 0 and 1 —- 0.001, 0.25, 0.5, et al. That between black and white there is this grayish color which just has too many shades. Doing the good thing is not necessarily right and doing the bad thing is not necessarily wrong. How could have things gotten so complicated? I guess we've learned that things could be relative. But relative to what? To what society considers absolute? But one man's trash is another man's treasure. So it's a matter of perspective. <Sigh>…This is so hard, it's like Einstein's theory of relativity. What I really just wanted to say is I wish life is not that complicated.

A vicious cycle

I'm bored. Not because I have nothing to do. Quite the contrary, I have a ton of things to do. I just have no motivation in doing them. I don't know why. Maybe I'm not really bored but more so on being lazy. Yup, I think that's it. That's a more honest assessment of my situation right now. I feel lazy. I don't want to do anything. I just want to lie in bed and do nothing. Not really nothing. I want to lie in bed and sleep. Or I could lie in bed reading a good book. Or maybe lie in bed watching a dvd or just watching tv. Or lie in bed talking to my friends on the phone. The key action is that I'm lying in bed, in case you didn't get it. Why am I so lazy? I don't know. I just want to rest even though I'm not yet that tired. I think I have too much time in my hands right now. I'm pondering on things that are not worth a dime. That's not true — not the part about pondering but the part of having too much time in my hands. Actually, I have a ton of things to do. I'm just not in the mood. I'm bored.

Survivor’s Guilt

Half a decade ago, I figured in a vehicular accident which caused the lives of two of my friends. Given the circumstances then, I should have died with them but I didn't. Why? To this day, I still don't know why I was given a reprieve and not them. Survivor's Guilt. It is a deep feeling of guilt often experienced by those who have survived some catastrophe that took the lives of many others. Do I have it? I'm not sure. I just hope and pray that I didn't survive at someone else's expense.

Sleeping Beauty

I don't get enough sleep during weekdays that's why I sometimes more than make up for it during weekends. I love to sleep specially if its cold and raining outside —– a typical bed weather. Believe it or not but I can sleep for more than 10 hours straight. One time, I slept for about 15 hours, that's because I had a rough couple of days prior. If I don't have my Zzzs, I get very cranky and irritable. But after a short nap, I'm good to go. Sleep not only gives my body it's much needed rest but it also refreshes my mind. After a good night's rest, I'm recharged ready to tackle the challenges for the day. When we sleep, I think our unconscious minds try to resolve our undealt issues. That's why sleep is important for both the mind and body. Before, I'd rather go hungry than to be without sleep. Now, I don't know. For I have also grown to love eating but that's another story =oP
