heads down bottoms up
 
This new skin brings about a fresh new beginning, a change, reminding us the importance of looking at things from another perspective so that we may learn to understand and accept all that we see for not what they appear to be, but what they truly are.

unplanned
It is difficult to imagine what it would be like to have a child at the tender age of twenty-one. Many would cringe at that thought and the first solution that comes to mind would be to rid yourself and possibly your partner of any agony immediately, but some could not bear the thought to living with the guilt.

Guys find pictures and photos of child birth revolting and gross, but they probably don’t realise it freaks the girls out too. Plus the process of child bearing, the 36 weeks of pregnancy doesn’t seem all that easy, let alone all the body shape changes, stretch marks and incontinence that’s associated. And the lactation… eww.

It’s very unfair that guys don’t need to worry about all that. They don’t really give a shit ‘cause they still have their looks and nice bodies whilst their unwedded partner undergoes a horrific downhill appearance change, giving them all the more reasons to go out and find another. In fact, it’s far easier for guys to suggest keeping the baby but then turn around and offer no support. They can even choose to shy away from the issue and not let their parents in on it if they don’t want them to know. Girls can’t.

A sudden mood fluctuation, decrease in pads and tampons usage and the obvious beer belly that’s enlarging by the day probably gives it away. But how do they let their parents know? Juno doesn’t realise how lucky she is.

Facing an unplanned pregnancy with a guy she hardly knows well enough to call friend, Juno has the full support of her parents as she decides to give her child up to a couple longing to adopt. The scene where she reveals her positive pregnancy tests to her parents was outstanding. But the entire show down plays the whole issue and converts it into a somewhat laughable experience that every girl should go through. However, it also cleverly outlines and courageous step into adulthood from a child at the age of 16, bringing her into a world of problems where tough decisions need to be made.

Shed some light.

ojos que no ven, corazón que no siente

It’s hard when there’s a constant unforgiving reminder, day in, day out. You try to forget, wave it off as a horrible experience, release it from the memory well, but for some odd reason, the harder you try to get yourself out of the hole, the deeper it gets. Everything works against you. Everyone is unforgiving.

Why is it that some people pass judgements rather than opinions? Perhaps it’s their way of making themselves feel better, wiser, greater than the other, and perhaps it’s their own sense of insecurity that drives them to release their fear on some one else who is not living in the same fear. But what gives them the right to judge?

People make choices. Good, bad, stupid, clever. Who gives a shit? Some choices we make are somewhat silly and borders on being idiotic, but that is their choice, so be it. You cannot disapprove or judge that individual based on their dumb choice – maybe step into their shoes and you would realise that the choice they made is only dumb in your eyes, not theirs.

And even if you do have to make a judgement of a person purely based on what you see, it would be wise to keep it to yourself. Once spoken aloud, it’s like an uncontrolled fire blaze that will eventually end up at the doorstep of that particular person. And then the beautiful past is no longer there.

We live once. We are young once. We form our own opinions, make up our own minds and are under no influence of those who do not truly care about you. If they cared, they would recognise your inner wisdom and appreciate it. So forget them and live the life the way you want to – be it a good and happy ending or a horrible past – deal with the consequences when it’s there, at the very least you can say you’ve had fun with no regrets. You’ve lived the life.

transport issues
Once I dreamt that I took my car on an adventure with a friend and ended up trashing it and then tossing it somewhere in the tip. I woke up from that dream and walked outside where I usually park my car and found that it had been moved, and freaked out.

Today, as I was about to set out for my usual tutoring lessons, I realised my car was missing. On the front yard parked my dad's car and bro's car and a truck. Mine was gone. And I knew exactly where it would be.

My younger brother just passed his P's.

Back in the days when I first got mine, I would plead and plead my brother to lend me his car seeing that that was the only functional car at that time. Nine out of ten times he would refuse, either because he was going to use it, and other times, simply 'cause. I couldn't argue with him, seeing that he is afterall a very big guy who could finish me with his fist alone. These days, things are different.

My younger brother can take my car without letting me know - even when I need it for work. I figure it's just not worth even bringing it up to him as an issue because in the end, he will still take it no matter. And because now that that's the case, I have every excuse to cruise around with my Dad's BMW. Sweet.

I'm half a year off getting my full license, and touch wood, I have had no accidents so far. Near misses, or near hits as some may say, but nothing major. As you become familiar with the wheel, I figure most of us also becoming increasingly dangerous and wreckless road users. In line with that thought, it seems that the law should keep an eye out for those just coming off their P plates, rather than those just getting on board. Or even target the elderly drivers who steer the wheel like it is their shopping jeeps at a whole 40km/h in 60km/h zones - slow doesn't mean they don't pose a risk to other road users, in fact, stats show that they are just as risky as P platers.

Saturday
Earth hour
See the city lights dim. On March the 29th this year, Australia will work with seven other countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 8pm onwards, lights of the sydney harbour will dim, the Melbourne arts centre tower will no longer flicker with its blue light, the suburbs will be darker than what it is already. Supposedly. Let's see what happens. I've got a 21st party on that night.

ABOUT

Thoughts, ...flowing slowly and gracefully, ...awakening the senses, ...keeping you up in the night, I sometimes wonder why people write. To express? To reflect? To be heard? I write, to free myself from a world of thoughts.
