What is a photograph?
A photograph is a mili second captured on a paper, or as a viewable digital picture. It makes that one second last forever. Exactly the way it happened. No changes. It's a way to stop time. Keep it from moving, a way that defies the laws of time and movement. In that picture, time stands still, people stand still. Even after theyre long gone. They appear in that photo, just as real life. Just as they once stood before. A little peice of them caught in that little photo. Forever.
People change. They grow up or grow old. That photo of them is something that stays the same throughout time. It keeps them the way they were. It keeps them alive. It's magnificent if you ask me. I wish I can take pictures of the whole world on my camera, of everyone I know, everyone I don't know. Try and keep it. As it is. Forever.
We forget a lot. Forget how we once felt, how we once loved. We forget what we saw, what we encountered, we forget the bad times as well as the good times. Photos are there to remind us, how we once were. What we once saw, how we once lived.
A machine to stop time. And make us watch a moment over and over. Making time timeless.
Take your cameras out. Your future selves will thank you for it.

Zombies
I always wondered what it is that I'll be doing once the zombies attack. Mind you I still can't figure out how the zombies will come about in the first place, like what will trigger them. Will it be a bang heard all around the globe? Or will it be a disease infecting people's brains? Either way I think about it nearly all the time.
I would like to consider myself ready if a zombie attack was to occur. I have worked out vigorously, kept my weight down. My leg muscles can keep me running for days if I had to. Yes I'm serious.
I've practiced to be aware of my surroundings. No zombie can surprise me without me knowing about it.
I have used my boney fingers to poke pillows, tomatoes, even soap bars, incase I'll ever have to poke someone's eyes out. And I've been biting people since 1991. Needless to say, i've advanced far since then. It is after all survival of the fittest.
I'm quick with reactions. And I know exactly what to do. I've even practiced on guns for crying out loud.
Not to mention, I can stitch wounds, give shots, treat people and fix fractures.
Bottom line, I am trained and ready or combat. And nothing scares me.
But I have come to the sad realization that I however awesome, cant survive alone, Without a proper gang, a team.
I need a tech genius, I will need someone with mad driving skills cuz I drive like women. Asian women.
Someone that knows the area. I'll need someone with good armour experience and anyone else that seems useful with anti zombie skills. Also.. I will also need someone, prefereably with good genes, just incase if I'll be needing to repopulate the world with.
When the time comes you'll remember me. If you will be fending off zombies by yourself, then I bid you the best of luck! Either way, I hope I see you at the end line!

Sick and other random stuff
I've got the flu. I think. Even though I believe that I never get sick, and I never do, I am currently getting symptoms of a runny nose and a sore throat, just symptoms. It doesn't mean I am sick..
The worst thing about this is, even though in my head I am not sick, my brain isn't functioning, my body feels weird and there's mucous coming out of every orfice of my body.
My remedy of green tea and ginger with honey and lemon has failed. And I call myself a pharmacist. Pshhhht
News on the forefront: Although work can be sucky at times, yet I still manage to find pleasures. Some people can put a smile on my face without even trying. In other news: brace yourselves, winter is coming.

That awesome moment
That moment, when everything is going the wrong way, nothing is working out, you lose alot, you miss the bus, you lose your keys, your phone is off because the batteries are depleted and you think to yourself, this can't get any worse. Well, the universe hears your cry of despair and accepts your challenge.
So days go by, weeks, even months and you're at an all time low. You've done all you could do, yet nothing is working out. So you take on the universe and its' challenge and you donate, you pray, you even clean your room daily thinking it's the last straw.
Nothing. In fact, you lose your job, and you can't find another one.
Then one day out of the blue, you share a seat with a kind stranger on the bus. They smile at you.
You get that job interview You always wanted. And you get the job.
You were left out but all of a sudden you find yourself sitting at a table with your close friends.
And your life blooms. No reason. Just does.
You get everything you want, including that vacation you were dying for. Including the guy you always wanted, or that girl.
Don't lose hope. It takes weeks, months years even. It will look up. There really is a light at the end of that tunnel. You just have to keep on walking.

2012
So the new year is upon us, it's like that fresh start everyone's looking forward to, a second chance at life. A new attempt to lose weight, make money, become a CEO, find the significant other, or whatever it is people are looking for these days.
It's a time to forget the past, to let go of it, bad relationships, getting fired or even erasing those criminal acts youve done like that time you set the school on fire.
Yes here it is. A time to forget all that and start over new. Although, keep in mind it may be the very last time you get a fresh start. For all we know it could be the end of the world. I mean judging on the weather lately, it does seem like global warming has hit an all time high. It doesn't seem like that could go on much longer.
Either way, for me personally, I'd like to imagine it may be the very last year I live, so I only have this year to visit the world, help out in the community and get my stupid license. * yes finally less than 2 months left*.
Whatever it is that you might want to acheive, well I wish you all the best in in getting there! And do enjoy it, for all you know it could be your last!

Thoughts of a busy mind
Sometimes in life you wish for something. You spend a huge portion of your life thinking about, praying for, wishing for that something. It takes you days, weeks, even years sometimes, wishing for one thing. Only one thing.
Then you realize what you have missed out on. You realize that all that time spent you didn't notice all the amazing things in your life, all those great things God gives you. You miss out on great experiences, and the worst thing is, when you take the most important things for granted because you're too blind to see what's important.
And sometimes, in special occasions, you get what you want. After you don't want it anymore.
So that's why you shouldn't wish for what you want. You should work for it. Invest your tears and sweat into it. Sacrifice what you have for it. But if you don't get it, don't give up, settle for a little less. And try again later.
That's why I have no expectations. No major dreams, I live each day. I settle for what I'm given and I never say no to any experiences. I have regrets, but they mean nothing.
Live each day as if it was your last. Give people around you a chance, be happy and accept what you have, and most importantly, say yes to everything. You never know, the best thing could be right infront of your nose!

Best friends FTW
Best friends are the best. They pick you up when you are down, they make you laugh when you least expect it, they have the ability to just hang with you all day doing absolutely nothing. You find them sleeping in your bed, eating from your fridge, BBQing in the back yard with your dad. They make friends with your parents and your parents like them more than your own self.
I had a friend come over all the way from across the globe, and for the first time in my life, I felt at home. She's like the bandage you put on a wound and it heals. The best thing is, how she knows me so well. Sometimes you forget yourself. That's when friends remind you of who you are.
They always say when you are in jail, friends bail you out, but best friends sit next to you in jail.. That's the kind my best friend is.
I wish that everyone in life finds someone like that. It's only then that life is truly complete.
