Yea I know I haven't blogged in some time. So here are some recaps:

Samui was a blast. It's one of those pieces of rugged paradise on earth. Also, Singha beer is really fucking good.

Watching Discovery Channel the other day, I found out that there's a coffee company in the States called Alterra Coffee. There's also a clothes-altering shop in KL called Z-Altera or something like that.

I think I'm handling long-distance well enough. However, it does feel like I'm single again. It's like I'm slowly discovering who I was before. I'm not sure if it's good or it's bad.

To end this miserable recap, nothing life-changing has occured within the past month or so. Which leads me to a thought I had:

Why the term 'seize the moment?' Some people do crazy shit because they say you only live once. I agree with that because reincarnation and heaven and all those life-after-death theories have not been proven yet. So why not try drugs? You only live once after all. Or why not kill somebody? Rape? Mutilate yourself?

Every moment alive, no matter how fucked up it is, is to be treasured somewhat. You don't got to be doing something extraordinary. Driving home from work, I looked at the display clock and it read 17:23, and I thought that I'll never relive Wednesday 29 July 2009, at 17:23 ever again. Should I have been sky-diving or something? Nah, I just wanted to fetch my mom and get home to my 4-month old puppy. It gets boring sometimes, doing the same thing over and over again, but it's never entirely the same.

So next time you think life is meaningless, or next time you think what you're doing is insanely boring, or when you're driving, or when you're taking a dump, or even when you're having the time of your life, try this: think that it won't happen exactly the same again, and perhaps be glad that the shit's gonna be different tomorrow (at least), or be sad that the moment has passed.
