You would think..

..that some people "spend their whole lives" just looking for L o v e. We call it the BIG search, that had initially been kicked to the back of our 'to-do-list' when we thought of prioritizing our material needs.And when that magic moment arrives, and it is deemed that the 'hunt is OVER', you imagine them to spend the remaining of their lives to cherish that discovered 'love'. Simply because it is far too special to pretend that it doesn't matter,if you were to ever lose it. You erase the idea of ever having to 'not have it'.

You call it cliche' or silly goals.Yet another one of those misguided ideals.Wishful dreams.

You imagine.

..and what happens when you come across that very few who chooses to for-go what they have to result to 'not having it'. As far as all these movie,music and image love stories are concerned, I don't recall somebody warning us about the possibility of people who would not want it after all. Of those who believes that maybe it's not sacred after all because the probability of re-occurence is just far too high. the whole 'once in a lifetime opportunity' motivational thought is now being amended, because we now realize that its never the END of the world. As long as you find yourself still taking those pulsing breaths.

If you are ever 'privileged'(in my most refined sarcastic tone), to come across this 'rare' non-believer, i readily offer you my sincere empathy and 'hope' for that strength to uphold your shaken 'faith'.

The Rain poured across Sunday Afternoon.

It's one of those days,when you look out into the sky and see it painted with water drops.The only sounds you hear are steady rumbling thunders and the wheels of the passing car riding on the wet roads.All around you is shedding a tear into collective cries.The trees,electric lamp post,and buildings.Little round rain drops lingering below the fences.see another beauty covered in grey.smell the unexplainable effect of cool rain on warm grounds.

Its a rainy sunday noon, and all i can feel of it is behind this window within four walls.

Question.

Were we EVER this excited over our own elections?
Talk about media effectiveness.
America is like that branding 'Prada and Gucci',that everyones speaks of.
argument would be,its going to affect the whole world,economically,socially,politically..overall,the way everything else will function in coming years.
what about our own little world in front of our eyes here?

Is it possible?

or is it imagination?
because u think that the people in the world are out there to get you. when the case is,nobody really gives a shit.more importantly, you are hallucinating because what you see is not really what you're getting.
paranoia?
because u are stuffed with negative energy. You think that everyone has a black heart and nobody is up to anything good. All are self-centered, all are careless. Somebody wants to hurt you just for the sake of hurting you.
karma?
because you believe that you were once an asshole.or still is.who knows?
Expectations.
is 'suppose' to be bad,but when you speak of it to the believers,they say,"whats wrong with having a little faith/hope on something?" well,there's really nothing wrong to it,but the line is just too darn thin between hoping and expecting.

seriously,where should we stand?

"Cause everything looks perfect ....."

...."from far away, come down now......."

If it weren't for technological advancements of picture-taking and video-recordings, would we have the same sense of appreciation for those 'past moments' that had once made a difference in our lives?
in our everyday quest in which we hunt for that 'meaning' and 'purpose' in our respective lives, we ever so often not realize that we ARE in fact, gradually collecting those pieces of reasoning that substantiates our believe system.
When we rewind those winding thoughts, you realize..
It is those precious little fragments
that steals a frown away.
and cracks into a sudden smile.

To those 'special ones' who had once shared "such great heights" with thy soul....


...may these 'once upon a time' great wonders assist us as we continue bouncing off each passing cloud.

Friday night with Abubu.

*This is Abubu.

It was yet another Friday night here in KL,with nothing but the silent air surrounding his air. He was determined to stay away from the society on this one night, just because there wasn't really any reason to go out. *Abubu was going through the online Malaysia airlines directory,and decided to check out how much it would cost to fly back to Buenos Aires. It was really because he really wanted to know what it would cost/take to take that plunge again,to return to that side of the world..
Abubu got a shock of his life when he saw that the price(plus return) was stated RM9800++.

"Oh my F#%^kin god",he exclaimed.

Since his return, he perpetually questioned himself in his EVERYDAY life, WHY in the world did he ever leave that place? When he actually found something that made him happy. Now,the thought of returning seems like a long time process. How was it possible that you can say,"i had the time of MY LIFE" and yet in the next moment just throw it all away? Bounded by the idea of responsibilities.society's expectations.

expectations.a positive idea that turned ugly in time.

Why do we get nervous with the thought of actually being happy? When you reach the extreme levels of happiness,in which you never dreamed of attaining..why do you take a step back to speculate on the 'actuality' of the situation?
Why should there always be a doubt behind every smile?

Abubu couldn't' help but sigh,and thought,"i should have stayed on".






*name has been altered for privacy purposes.haha.

You know what can NEVER go wrong?

the beatles baby.





..Great musicians that created music for ALL occasion.all emotion.


..ever felt like you were born in the wrong era?
..or craved so much for the possibility of a time-machine.

(back to the future movie previewed yearrrssss ago,so did donnie darko and stephen hawking and all that jazz)
when oh when would time travel be a part of 'reality'?

Accomplished.

......The greatest satisfaction that you can ever grant to yourself is when you manage to achieve what you once imagined.

This MISSION?

done.

When you speak about the idea of believing in Possibilities, how far do you push yourself into 'making it HAPPEN'?

When you share your dreams with the world, how strong do you hold on to that promise that you make to yourself?

When you acknowledge your desires and wants, how much do you strive to make it a part of Reality?

Sometimes, the idea of Control VS. Destiny in your life tend to complicate the journey of reaching your goals.......

..but in the end of the day, nothing beats the feeling you get when you say,

" I did it".

Iguazu Falls,Argentina. August 2008

THe Worst Part about Travelling is..

a) the 'goodbyes'
b) the bloody bags.

WINTER MUSIC CONFERENCE 2008: Miami

..who cares if its a delayed post.The memory of it still lingers around as though it was only yesterday..

Dedicated to all you music lovers out there:

During the month of March 2008, all the music lovers from all over the world of DJ's,ravers,party-go'ers,producers,media crews and upcoming talents gathered around the sunshine state Florida. For a good 5 days, the music never stopped playing. Miami was on a roll to celebrate the art of electronic music.

..the Greyhound Bus ride to targeted location.

..drop-off at dodgy Bus station.

..Miami Beach Resort and Spa..THE Hotel.

..the right side Window view.Opposite the 'lake' is where the so-called rich and famous resides.

..and the best side ever, waking up to the view of the waves.

DAY 1.

..anxious fans waiting to enter Karma. Seriously funky dressers.

..opening act by Venezuela group. They made their music right there and then.how original.

..the very much commercialized Infected Mushroom. Almost like a pop-star.

?

DAY 2.

..to enjoy the music being played on stage by the pool. What an amazing pool, to the left side is where the beach is..

..all you have to do is walk out of the hotel to feel the sands in between your toes.

At night,

..to catch Richie Hawtin and Madga spin in the open air spot till the break of dawn. There were so many people and nobody wanted to leave up until 11am the next day.

DAY 3 and 4.

UltraSOund Festival.The outdoor scene. The Ultimate party.

..arriving at the city center. Taxis were everywhere knowing that plenty of tourists were there to catch the event.

..the entrance to the park. People were lining up to get last minute over-priced tickets. The smart ones who bought them online were lining up on the other side to make their way in.It was a park in the middle of the city, where there was enough air and space for people to move about.

..this was the main stage,whereby you had the view of the skyscrappers behind.

Everywhere you walked to you had different kinds of music blasting in the air,there was never one spot you went to that was silent.

..the view of the main stage from a distant.

This is the Rabbit Hole Stage,

..where Dj sasha and digweed made the crowd go crazy. If you look closer, behind the stage is the clear blue sea.

..this was another stage, where they played minimal music the whole night. Those star thingys hanging in the air lit up in yellow lights at night.

..people were not afraid to dress as they liked. You saw variation in fashion taste and the best part about it is, nothing was ugly.

haha.

..people from all over the world making their way to their favourite stages. You had food stalls lined up for people to get food when their hungry.Everything was over-priced but nobody really cared during that time.

..the crowd was constantly looking for beer and WATER. There were little carts being pushed around that was filled with bottle of beer and water. You pay $5+$1 tip for every cheap beer you get. That's pretty much the price you pay for a good beer when you are in a nice bar.

Like i said, there and then, nobody really cared.

..there was plenty of room to dance in the open air. Whenever it gets too stuffy near the stage, you can always walk out and find yourself a spot to breathe some fresh air. People were dripping in sweat, but nevertheless, happy.

..This was the stage where Moby performed. The most crowded stage ever because it was like a warehouse filled with people. There was no ventilation or what so ever. But the sound system was so damn good.

..he performed so well and had the best energy of all. Standing in front of the crowd on stage, he was always looking into their eyes, feeling their responses....smiling.amazing. Apparently everyone else who went for the event had more or less the same feeling about the event because there were many videos uploaded to show the different performances. TO see Moby perform his greatness, please click.

The sun set view was the most amazing, people were busy dancing and cheering but if you had stop for just one second to take a look at the sky...Shit, it was so beautiful. Also,because miami is pretty much situated close by the sea, every now and then you had this strong-gust of wind that just blew into your face,lifting your spirits higher up into the sky.

..and when the sun was setting, you couldnt help but think, "don't stop the music"...

During the night time, the laser lights came into action. somehow, the People had the best energy ever during the night... click.

..it was amazing lighting during Carl Cox's performance. Please click. And The best part about being inside (despite how queasy you can get due to the lack of air), is the people around you..everybody was nice to one another. Every time you looked over to the next person, they would look back and smile, knowingly, as those the eye contact was sufficient to express what a great moment it was.

..All in all, the many years of not attending great music events turned out to mean nothing when it came to the Winter Music Conference 2008. It became ONE of those memorably life experiences that you gain in this lifetime. Unfortunately, Words and pictures are just not enough to express the great feeling.
Otherwise, personally, i truly think that this feeling has to be shared with the world.

Nice thought...

eu familia,

its nice to know that you are not just born into this relationship,but rather given the priviledge to form it selectively.
