Illuminati Illumination

It's been a while since I've posted, but there hasn't been much going on for me to..
It's been relatively quiet in Singapore considering most of the crew aren't in town or are working, but it's been good chilling with the bums who are free...
Enlightening...
Exciting...
Somewhat Ridiculous...

World Cup Feeevveer!!!
Sports update Girly Style:
Englands been playing a bit shitty, but they scraped through their first game with a very synchronised first half, followed by a disappointing second half. Not a good World cup campaign match but they've got my vote.
Angola showed us what having spirit and determination is all about in their match agains Portugal.
Portugal's Ronaldo Christiano is So cute but such a sore loser, grow up baby boy!
Australia 3-1 victory over Japan was beautiful. Their first world cup in 32 years!! To the socceroos, Good Job Mates!
Although I don't know much about the Holland team, I do know my favourite player RUUD VAN NISTELROOY is ready and raring to go! Prove the United boys wrong gorgeous!

Next match to watch:
Brazil v. Croatia

Anyways, I've been pondering about a few concepts the universe has whispered into my ear over the last week or so. Concepts we've all heard of at some point or the other, but have never taken the time to look deeper into. As they say, the Teacher will appear when the Student is ready to Learn.

1. The Law of Attraction
Why is it that some individuals are more succesful than others? It is not a coincidence, it is because they possess the knowledge and know how to utilise it. For those of you reading this, it is your time to attain this knowledge. This is a 'secret' that will benefit those of you that read it. The Universal Law of Attraction is basically the notion that like attracts like, and that means that what you focus your mind on will manifest in your reality. An example of the Law of Attraction happening is a person focusing on a painful circumstance. The circumstance, as well as the pain, is fed with the thought paid to it. If you focus on acceptance, however, you will bring it to your life. A good rule of thumb is 'what you focus on expands'. A more specific example would be if you want to be 'Out of Debt', do not focus on that idea of 'debt'. The universe does not understand the positive or negative of the word, it just knows that 'debt' is in the equation and hence it will continue to appear. Instead let like attract like, focus on money and being able to spend the money you have. This may sound foolish or impractical to some, but what harm will come from imagining, for 10mins a day, yourself driving a Porsche out of your million dollar expensive marble floored gold trimmed garage? (taste issues :S) If you focus enough on the positive, you will draw it into your life. You have the power.
Still skeptical? Think about the last time you thought of an old friend out of the blue only to accidentally bump into them the following week...

Worth thinking about...

2. World Conspiracy
The biggest question in the world is our existence. What is our purpose? Who do we answer to at the end of the day? This has nothing to do with that, this thought is about what if there are actually forces amongst people themselves working behind the scenes controlling each and everyone of us like puppets? What if we live in a Matrix/Vanilla Skies style dream?
Ok thinking too much about that would be a pointless waste of time in my opinion, but considering it is quite interesting.
Think about the whole 9/11 terrorism against America situation. Some points that got me pondering:
1. No jews were killed (allegedly) as it 'happened' to be a Jewish holiday that day.
2. How the buildings Actually collapsed when they were constructed to withstand natural disasters.
3. Why did Tower 7 collapse as well.
4. Bush's monetary gain
5. How Bush became president??!?!



hmmmmm there is reading to be done! :)

For the Jaded

LOVE: What is it?
This is the best definition I've heard. Love is when BOTH of you think you're "dating up".
In other words, you feel as though you're getting someone better than you deserve. You think you're getting away with something. Or, as Artie Shaw was quoted as saying, "Love is an agreement between two people to overestimate each other." Brilliant.
But it absolutely has to be mutual.
I can't stress this enough. And the only way to tell is through ACTIONS. Are they acting like they wouldn't rather be anywhere besides with you?
This is the basis of respect and it's the only thing that will keep a relationship together the next time some 19-year-old with tight buns smiles at one of you. Love isn't the romantic crap they spout on TV-movies or in Romance novels. Because no one can read your mind well enough to provide that. Love is a partnership with sex thrown in for fun. Love is not about "completing" someone. It's not a healthy relationship unless both of you are fully formed, well-adjusted adults already. And it's not about "needs". It's about "wants". If you really need someone, maybe you're a little too desperate and should seek serious counseling. Wanting someone is a conscious decision. It's selfish, but in a healthy way. Just don't kid yourself that you're in love when you're not sure the other person feels the same way. If they do, you might be. If they don't, you aren't.
You'll recognize Love because it will be unlike anything you've ever experienced. That's why people say, you'll know. Because you will. (You must then, by definition, not marry the first person you date or you'll have no basis for comparison...)

HOW TO DEAL WITH MEN:
Men see sex like you see food. They want to try everything on the buffet, every chance they get. (Some guys won't cop to wanting to try everything, but that's only cuz they're lying or they don't think they have the ability to get it.) In the same way that you'd love to always eat, men would like to always have sex. And like you, men will do what they can to get their fix. It's just more difficult for men, because no one sells McHookers yet.
Now, we're not suggesting you take an adversarial stance in your dealings with guys. Just know what you're up against. Movies offer an image of people that is too simplistic. Women are either cast as whores or Madonnas (referring to the mother of Jesus, not the slutty celebrity), and guys are depicted as either obnoxious jerks or too shy. Life ain't like that.
Lots of jerks are often really nice to girls they like and lots of nice guys would dump you in a second if Tyra Banks asked them out. In a civilized society, guys seem indefensible. Pigs from day one. But why is that considered bad? That same relentless lust, when pointed your way, may be kinda cool. But if they're all pigs, how can you keep a man?
You can't. Not even with silicone breast implants. Nothing on the outside will make a guy stay true. Guys only stay with girls they like personally. Focus on your looks and you'll be out on the street the next time a better looking girl walks by. Make men kiss your sweet ass.
You can't force a relationship to work. It either does or it doesn't. Instead of working on your relationship, work on making yourself the best “you” you can be. Develop interests. (For example: Do you like sports? Learn about sports. Subscribe to Sport Illustrated.) Learn a skill. Get really good at something, because everybody likes a winner.
But be yourself.

HOW GUYS THINK. Sort of.
One of the greatest things we've ever read about men appeared in a Jules Pfeiffer cartoon. It read approximately, "Men don't hate women. Men need women. Men hate needing women."
Kinda makes you think. No? Well it should...

Home Sweet Home

Yaaay! As I write this blog entry, I am lounging on the swing in the TV room, with my laptop perched comfortable on my lap, a nice cold iced water and plate of peeled orange lying next to me. Feeling the breeze of the fan while the rays of sun shine through the window. To top it all off, the soft sound MTV in the background. :)
This is the first time in ages where I have had Absolutely Nothing to do. (ok i lie, there are a few errands that need to be run) But in the bigger picture of things, there are no deadlines, no appointments, no expectations and no bastardly exams. For a long time to come as well...wow, I still can't believe that University is over? Is it? haha I know Arun will be reminding for time yet that it is ;)
The days succeeding the final day of my exams were amazing. I haven't had so much fun in AGES, not just because of the exams being over, but becuase of the people that I spent it with! Friends old and new. The days were just as long and tiring as when I was studying, but this time there was no complaining, coz it was shopping followed by lunches/dinners, getting dressed up, sessioning, chilling for hours, walking through London etc etc....and not a moment spent alone. i couldn't have been happier. Am gutted that it was all condensed into a space of only five days, but I know now that the worst year of my life is over, there's only more fun to come.

Ok speaking of the worst year of my life (even though it really wasn't that bad, i like to exaggerate), my final year of uni has really been an extremely uneventful, stressful, buddhi-fied, cautious, boring, disciplined and lonely one. I was in a state of dependency on one person who wasn't able to deal with the responsibility and in doing so I shy-ed away from the ones who were willing to share the burden. I don't say this in a finger-pointing kind of way, but in a self-reflecting debrief of the situation. All in all, I am glad it happened though, because it forced me to be focussed on the idea of being a nerd and not being lured towards the frivolity and fancy of living the fun life. OK instead of elongating this, all i'm going to say is that this year I carried a very heavy load, both personally and academically, and I am estatic that it has now been lifted. :)

(ok can't seem to post pictures right now)

Anyways catcha lataaazz.xxx
