its time to check...

Alright alright... i know i know... yes i haven't been blogging for a very long time. although there are plenty for me to write about i just could not find the mood to type. well i have to admit that i'm playing too much game. haaa.. gotta really admit, too much time on it. i noticed blogging mood only comes when i'm feeling low. don't know about you guys but its like that for me.

Why do we indulge in something? be it going out, watching dramas after dramas or playing hours of computer games. its because we wanna escape. addicting yourself to something is a form of escapism, if thats such a word, a way where hours can be passed without thinking of the matter at hand. a way where we can all shut out the little bugs that keep gnawing at our minds. hopping praying that if we ignore it, it will go away. when reality comes and slaps u awake, u realized that those little bugs are no longer there! instead they have metamorphasized into adulthood and thats when things get ugly. i'm not saying that we should banged head on with our problems, i'm saying that we should deal with them before they turned into scary dengue mosquitoes! we all have our problems, its how we deal with them that is important.

its weird, people usually paused to check themselves only when things don go smoothly. when life is all bright and cheery, we tend to neglect the little things that matters. we forgot how our parents slave to provide for us, we take for granted that our clothes will be washed when we dumped them in the basket, we overlooked the fact that a lot goes through your parents mind when preparing food that would hopefully pleased you. what happens if one day you wake up and there is no breakfast, you realized your clothes are not washed, will you only then start to ponder what is missing?

that aside, life has changed much for me over the past few months. being in a rough environment, away from your safe haven has somewhat matured me. i see friends brooding over their relationship problems and those who are basking in its joy. when asked why don i have a girlfriend, i replied, "i don't want a girlfriend, i just want to love my parents." indeed tears came to my eyes when i think back on those magical 7 words that actually came out of my mouth. what have i ever done to deserve such wonderful parents, the only things that came to my mind was how i have disappointed them.

many have told me, "army makes us appreciate everything in life more." indeed, how true this is. i've disappointed my parents in many ways that i shall not elaborate, perhaps the only way i can atone for my past mistakes is to put in my all in everything i do. to ensure that the 9 months in which my mother carried me was not in vain, to proof the teachings of my father did not fall on deaf ears. to all teenagers out there, never hate your parents, never hurt them, especially your mom. don't ever ever wish for some other mom or dad. i cannot go on anymore, my vision is fogging. To end, i have this to say,"never refused home cooked food, go home and eat if your mom has cooked for you."
