Imagine..

..handing out flyers in the middle of the chaotic Times Square, Manhattan.

There's just too much going on within that small area where i stood:

..the angry honks and acceleration.

..the never-ending wailing sirens of police and ambulance.
..the branded high-fashion pedestrians.

..the groups of multilingual tourists.

..the colourful blinking advertisements.

..the large eye-catching movies and music banners.

AND, What more if.............

..it was Fleet Week?

:)

Now,I hope it was truly compulsory for them to wear their uniforms as they roam around the city because otherwise, it seems almost ..unnatural.

If this 'fleet week' thing were to happen in KL, do you think those teenage girls would still run up to them and ask for a picture?

.......?

Each day encountered here in the city seem to remind you how much of a nobody you are. The problem is, this idea of a 'nobody' is judged through the idea of materialism. As far as you try to run away from this plastic world, somehow, the majority seem to have the power to suck you in.

You always end up with a thought that, "I want to be a somebody too".

..or to stick with the 'Asian-Chinese girl' handing out some random flyers about a Brazilian Amazonia exhibition?

..I'm sticking to taking the ride of my life.

You Think more when..

..you are in a City?

i mean there's really no way of measuring 'how much' you think in general.But seriously, moving from a sun and sea environment to a wet and cold surrouding makes your thoughts go deeper.

..or maybe i'm just crazy.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Iguassu Falls

Behold, A river that intersects on the border between Brazil,Paraguay and Argentina.

Look at this map:

Through research and real-life interviews, he place sounded surreal. And i'm hoping that it probably is an illusion because if it was real the beauty would be overwhelming. I don't know if the heart can handle the emotions.

"it's going to be too damn beautiful".

Mission number 1,i say.

Imagine a waterfall that is in between three countries. Apparently, there's this cafe out there in which where you sit, you realize that your view consist of the perspectives of 3 different countries.

"Amazing".

First of all, you need to find out the distrance between this route and the main cities of Brazil. In this case, the nearest point would be Florionopolis. After careful consideration, this is what i decided:

I mean come on, this is too beautiful:

Making 'sales'.

The journey to survival abroad is mucho to do with being able to support yourself financially. In order to do so,you find yourself being open towards all available opportunities of jobs,even if it was never really what you wanted to do. Given the time span,you're just going to go all your way out and grab whatever thats left.
Which brings the topic of being a freaking-sales-person. (Naz, i remember your post again doing door-to-door sales,and i must say: Respect,okay?)
Doing sales sounds like an easy task but when it comes to 'getting the job done', how far would you push your self-principles in order to be a good salesperson?
it's either you're blaming the faults on your so-called in-built characther/personality, or you simply have BAD persuasive skills.
How can you tell yourself to be pushy when you never really liked it in the first place? and if you choose to stick to your chilled-out/mellowed nature, nobody is going to buy from you because you dont have this 'ability' to make them /want/ or /need/ something.
Credits goes out to all you sales-people out there for having the patience to deal with all sorts of personalities(and i mean ALL KINDS) for the sake of surviving.
maybe u will only sell better when you believe or like the product or service?
i dont know!
Argh.

"Break with Routine"

She flipped open the book that Teddy handed over a week ago. Feeling completely un-inspired and de-motivated, she browsed through the words and found herself getting more and more engaged with the message.....

"What happened to spontaneity?

At what point did you lose the right

to do something just because you

feel like it at the moment

- just because you're alive?

Go places.

Welcome the unexpected."

" Life is here and it is NOW. This is the good stuff. No one has EVER seen this day before and will NEVER see it AGAIN.

So, be present.

Live with intention.

NOW is the best time to try something for THE FIRST TIME".

..and then you question WHY?

as cliche' as it sounds,

" Life is too short to waste time doing things you really don't want to do".

..who in the world told us that we are oblidged to engage in something that was never really within our desires anyway?

" The only LIMITATION is your own Imagination".

..its all about being cautious of our senses, wherever a feelig brings you, you take yourself straight towards that direction only because you feel compelled to discover, whether or not what your so-called instinct told you was right, or otherwise. Whatever the outcome, the end results is focused upon the fact that you NEEDED to know.

I don't know.

can you live without 'knowing'?

2008

whatever tomorrow brings I'll HAVE to be there,right?there's nothing crazier than to live your life far away from the conventional way of life.
everyday you're just seeking for "sathla" of all forms...and i honestly see nothing wrong with this way of life at this point of time.
"oh,no".

sigh.

Who would have thought that festive celebrations regardless of where you are means nothing without people you care for.

Who would have thought that the primary challenge would lie within the test of courage?
to be able to speak and say when and where you want to.just seem to sound so simple when you are not even able to let the words come out of your mouth.a nd when the moment passes,you beat up yourself for not being able to act there and then when the moment was present.

note to self:must speak whenever the words are there and ready to go.

i miss listening to music.

remember when you said the first two weeks would be the hardest?
fuck that.
its constantly deteriorating by the days.guess the graph chart worked differently this time...

new year's is a-comin'..

what ever happen to the word 'resolution'?
i know i forgot about it long time ago.....

?

these sentences have been said far too often only to result to meaningless words:

"Keep in Touch"

Moments.

Everyday of your life you are constantly being reminded to live for that one second,to saviour the entire minute of singular seconds.hours.days.whatever the duration may be.we see it as that "once upon a time" story you found yourself involved with.
sometimes being too cautious and needy of those 'moments' just leaves you in a situation that you begin to feel disgusted and sick of being IN IT.
I guess when that happens thats when you realize that the phase is coming to an end.You decide or at least unconciously slip away into a different dimension.nonetheless, still parallel to what you're taught to believe and KNOW.
but io guess its because its such F*ckin fantastic feeling that its too difficult to rather NOT have it.
right?

?

where are you?

boo... :(

exploitation sucks.
enough said.
