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.

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".

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.

The Art of...

...the unbreakable.

Is when you're able to run so far,
so far away..
from the supposed outcome.
Once it catches on,
you find yourself breaking
into more than a zillion pieces
simply beyond than,
what you've ever imagined.

Spotted a Moment..


..a couple who stopped crossing the sreet to hug each other.
for a good one minute.

I watched their expression and wished more than ever to have that same exact moment.

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.
