There are quite a few things that have come up and took the world by storm, or rather their money in 2012. Such things include the iPhone 5, Assassin’s Creed 3 and the other numerous technical and/or nerdy gadget-y stuff that made buying food irrelevant. There is however one thing that ain’t so gadget-y in the past year, especially in the past few months, that I wish I could’ve bought instead of all those other stuff that I bought. It’s quite simple really and all of us would have benefited greatly from it… if it was it for sale. 

As simple as it may seem,it’s literally time. Imagine if we could buy time, imagine what the world could be like if we could just buy our time every single moment in every day. Who cares if it costs a lot! People will buy it and even it’s rates go higher and higher and higher and higher, people will crave for it just so that they can do whatever the hell they want in life and never waste a second, never grow old or never mess up.

But you know what? That’s why time is never for sale.

Time has the power to bend us all. Time makes us think about future and not just live for the moment. Time is what gives us fear, courage, passion and reason at different times. These are only the few reasons why time is made to never be taken back. For if time was to be bought, people would never think and be realistic. They will forever be sold to the idea that ”there’s time left” but that’s not it. There isn’t much time. And time moves in as much as we move and we can never stop it. Borrowed time is unto us and we aren’t unto him.

So this 2013, let’s make the most of what we have. Let’s live our lives to the fullest and never waste our time. Time is always of the essence! And with this, I bid my farewell and wish you the happiest of years. Cheers ~ :)

PS: I hope to post more! Sorry for not being able to post in the last couple of months, was playing League of Legends and trying to be pro… but to no avail. 

The Final Remedy - a remedy that comes from pure dedication to change for the betterment of ones self and for the removal of his or her fears, set upon a certain and important date in time. 

In my 17 years in the world, I must say, I have been very gullible. And yes, I mean, very gullible. I’ve never found a cure to this sickness that I currently have but in these past few weeks, I’ve found out that I was gullible for a reason. A reason that roots from my high expectations that was brought down to me. A reason that shows the tantamount fear I have of failing and not being able to keep up with the status quo. The same reason that lead me to quickly judging myself as a black sheep therefore making my life a bit difficult to live by.

Guess what? It’s what I thought I had but didn’t have all along. You’ve probably heard of it, or you’re probably lacking or full of it. It starts with self, has a dash and ends with a steam. 

Self-esteem.

Yes folks, I have found out that I lack self-esteem. And that all that self-esteem I thought I had was fake all along and that all I had was a simplistic mocking of what little I had to the others who didn’t have it. Imagine that every advantage I could take, I did take just to gain a bit of leverage against others. Heavens, I never thought I was this cruel, but heck, now I sure am. I mean, if there was any person that sacrificed his life for the full benefit of others, that would be me but upon further analysis of the past things I’ve done, I actually did those things because I needed something.

Attention, sympathy, respect, you name it. And yes folks, I am ashamed and I need a remedy. A remedy that will help me clearly define who I am inside and a remedy that will remove me of this pressure in me. A remedy that will destroy the demons that are lingering inside my mind that quite frankly lead me to do things one could never think of me. A final remedy that will cure the cause of my endless strife up to this day and a remedy that shall hopefully lead me to renewed heights.

Hopefully, this should be the last I see of you fear and gratuitous amounts of self-doubt for starting March 23, 2012, I vow to all the people I love and the future of the children that I will marry, that I will change for good. No buts, no outtakes, just pure change of heart. This shall be my chance encounter, a definitive remedy that will change me and show the strength I truly possess within.

For those of us who missed our shot at experiencing the world’s most relaxing room, here are Professor Wiseman’s stress-busting tips:

1. Head for the countryside. Research shows that spending around 30 minutes in green and quiet surroundings will make you feel significantly more relaxed.

2. Listen to soothing music. Listening to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, a best-selling relaxation CD, or nature sounds lowers your blood pressure.

3. Carry out a relaxation exercise. Starting at your toes and working upwards, spend a few moments slowly tensing, and then releasing, the muscles of each part of your body.

4. Spend time with friends. Being with people you like helps distract you from anxious thoughts and lifts your mood.

5. Help others. Research shows that even carrying out a small act of kindness, such as making a donation to charity, helps improve your mood and decreases stress.

6. Accept what you can’t change. There is no point dwelling on the past, or thinking about what can’t be altered. Instead, focus on how you can create a better future.

7. Smile more. Don’t take life too seriously, and improve your ability to cope with stressful situations by seeing the funny side of whatever happens.

8. Use lavender. Research shows that most people find the smell of lavender especially relaxing, and that it also helps them get a good night’s sleep.

9. Hit the gym. Exercise promotes the production of endorphins, which, in turn, make you feel better about yourself and become more relaxed.

10. Look at the sky. If it is a nice day, lie on the grass, look up at a clear sky, and allow positive thoughts and images to drift through your mind.
