i am really bored. i mean this is the third blog post within an hour and i am seriously clogging up this blog with all these nonsense. but hey, isn't that what blogs are for?
here's a song that won't leave my head otherwise known as the "last song syndrome" or LSS. it has a point though, when a heart breaks.. it really doesn't break even. i mean i've never been heartbroken or whatever before but the song really has a point. anyway. here's the lyrics.
Breakeven lyrics
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
Cos I got time while she got freedom
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even
Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man thats gonna put her 1st
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even even no
What am I suppose to do when the best part of me was always you
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and your ok
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
Cos she's moved on while I'm still grieving
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even even no
What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and your ok
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
(Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even)
You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains
Cos you left me with no love, no love to my name.
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
Cos I got time while she got freedom
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even
What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and your ok
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
(Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even)
hai.. i'm hopeless.

the wave theory of life
woohoo! two posts in one day. i'm on a roll here!
due to a cup of coffee, free wifi access, an uncured case of insomnia and a couple of stupid ideas running through my head, i have unearthed another stupid theory of life that has been sleeping inside my brain for a couple of years already. it all started with a simple phrase that popped up and never left my mind, "sometimes you just have to cry."
no, i wasn't trying to be melodramatic or dramatic at all. it just happened to pass by my brain before going to lala land or whatever land thoughts go to after they expire. being the bored techie that i am, i googled the phrase-that-never-left-my-mind and found a pdf about some humorist's speech. it gave further proof about my wave theory of life.
the wave theory of life declares that:
in life, one must experience happiness in the same intensity and length as sadness.
corollary: intensity and length of time are inversely proportional to one another.
you cannot be happy for an extremely long time and you cannot be sad for an extremely long time too.. you know why? extreme laughter and depression can cause death. if you experience sadness for a long time, it's not as intensified as you experienced it briefly. we are all human, we become numb to emotions after some time.
i do not mean we have to remain stoic and boring all the time to evade sadness, but isn't a roller coaster of emotions what makes us human? we feel, ergo we're human. the wave practicality of life justifies the existence of drugs and anti-depressants, we want to experience everything even through synthetic unnatural ways.
corollary: threshold values for happiness and sadness is unique for every person. happiness threshold value may not be equal to sadness threshold value.
it's like your alcohol limit, we all have our own capacities. some people can take in too much pain (martyrs), some people can't (suicidals) but we all have the ability to withstand sadness like how we have the ability to enjoy happiness.
it's a simple yin yang. a balance of some sort. we live. we laugh. we cry. it's what makes us human after all.

life and everything else
after a routine stalking exercise, i found another blog stash of an old crush of mine that talked about theories, philosophies and all the big words that would shame marx. anyway, i've decided to write about something philosophical myself: life and everything else.
for me life boils down to simplest of things, #1 happiness of self and #2 happiness of others. i'm no gandhi or buddha but i do think that we're here to have fun, be happy and enjoy life as it is. although if you meet me in real life, i'm really no happy go lucky person but i like being happy. i spend hours and hours in doing the things that make me happy and that is reading books, listening to music, eating and sleeping. since classes has been postponed, i've been locked up inside my room doing the aforementioned four things repeatedly. of course, there's the occasional bathroom emergencies and social interactions to meet my quota. hahaha.
happiness of others may be as limited to happiness of other half, if you're lucky enough to have one. i, myself don't have anyone to share this dreary life with aside from the book and music collection stored in my PC. but you see, happiness of others can also translate to happiness of friends, family or any other social entity. this can be in a form more popularly known as "quality time" or simply QT, as my sister always termed it.
so, my philosophy in life? we're all here (on earth) to live, laugh, love, learn and ultimately be happy. we may need to work hard for happiness sometimes (study to get 1.0s, earn to eat great food, work asses off to get promoted) but these happy moments make life worth living (take it from a suicidal). so.. last words? live. love. be happy. because you deserve it. :D
