Last one before spring cleaning

Walking through

It’s the time of the year again! And I mean the annual cleaning of my pc….

Well, I skipped doing this tedious process for the last 2 years, and my precious laptop is really really slow right now.

So right before I clean this up with a full clean format, I will like to do one more post.

I actually took this photo quite some time ago. Just want to share it out right now.

And here’s another interesting one. Enjoy your day!

Peculiar...

Spring is here, and I see the lesser me out there

The feeling of being alive!

Spring is here~ Another year has passed…

Spring is the season of life, where everything comes back to life from the cold harsh winter. Life never seems to lose against the winter, but I myself is slipping away day by day, even when spring is here…

I decided to took some time last Saturday to visit a park near by my area to take some photos of the blooming cherry blossoms. But to my dismay, most of the flowers were still budding, so it wasn’t the full glorious moment that I longed for.

Looking back at all the photos taken, I see the lesser self in me. After some post processing, it seems that I had portrayed myself as one who longed for hope, showing the pessimist inside of me.

The photo of blooming cherry blossoms was the only consolation that I got. Suddenly I feel, maybe patience could bring me somewhere I wanted to go.

Never give up

Time is priceless, unless you have given up everything. But it could feel forever when you are waiting for something or someone. Can time make up for what we missed?

Beating the odds and shine as bright as gold

Someday, we will find what we want. Someday.

Expressions

Are you happy?

With faces, comes expressions.

With just a single look of someone’s face, you can be pretty sure whether that someone is in a good mood, is sad, or terrified.

How do you look like when you face the world?

I would look just like the first cute little guy holding the “I am happy” sign to you, but inside, you would never know how I feel.

Can you ever hide you feelings? Or how can you express your real feelings to someone else?

I have my own problems.

 

Tired

I always begin my day with a laugh.

If you ever met me, you would wonder where I get my “excessive happiness” from. Yes, I was commented by people before about me being too happy.Well, all you selfish pessimists out there, don’t even try to cross my line ever.

Always facing life with a smile doesn’t mean that I do not have any of my own problems. You never see me when I am down, you never know what I am thinking or hiding despite my smile. I too have my deep troubles.

Sometimes, I feel really tired. Seems like reality has really come down on me. My contagious laughter is less by the day.

Stop bothering me with all your petty problems. I have my own to deal with. Plenty of them.

I am tired. I need some rest.

Runaway

Runaway from reality

Have you ever wanted to run away from everything?

I do.

Runaway. Just keep on running, and never look back.

No regrets.

Something simple…

Early in the days, simplicity...

Living in a country where everything is fast pace, stopping once in a while is a good thing.

Stop, stand and look around… Sometimes everything is so blurry, like a photo taken in a slow shutter speed with blurry silhouette of people walking around in a busy city street.

In a society where everyone is trying to gain the most whenever they can, suddenly I thought, maybe simplicity could be the answer.

What are we really chasing for? Why complicate life with so much trouble, with so much stress?

Just live simple, and be content, isn’t that suffice to sustain a normal life?

This is what I am telling myself now. But looking ahead, this simple plan won’t work. There are more to come, and we should get prepared for the worst when things turn the other way.

Just hope the body can catch up with everything we throw at it.

Simplicity, is the only thing I yearn for the most.

We all have histories that made us who we are today.

What does it take to be a beautiful butterfly?

We meet countless people in our lives. Everyone has their own personality, their own history that made them what they are today. We cannot take away the fact that what they encountered in the past could have changed what they are now.

Behind a beautiful smile, there could be a dark past. That pleasant someone you have met could have their very own story that they wouldn’t want to recall and share. For someone who doesn’t have a strong mind and heart, that ugly past could consume them, making them vulnerable, making them feel that the world is constantly going against them.

What does it takes for a caterpillar to become a butterfly? How much struggling does it need in order to grow wings, and be able to fly with grace and beauty? Even though it’s wings might not come with stunning colors, or mesmerizing patterns, but I bet, it has gone through a hard process like every other butterfly, from hatching from an egg, hiding itself in a pupa, and then transforming itself into a butterfly.

We humans might not go through such complicated process, but many things happen in our lives, and each event can change us in a particular way: changing the way we think, changing our perspective on life, and so on. And my humble opinion is, all these tiny and big events have shaped us what we are today. These are the things that made us unique.

It isn’t easy to forget something significant in our lives, no matter it is something good, or something bad. The more we try to forget it, the more we think about it. I think the only way is to accept everything that had happened, and take advantage of every second we have in our lives to make everything better for the future.

Even though, from time to time, when we look back in our past, we might see unpleasant history of ours, all we can do is utter a sigh, and live on with it.

Imperfection

Imperfect clovers

Summer is here, and when most of the flowers are dying away under the heat, the clovers are still standing, imperfect, but proud.

And yes, those are clover flowers. I was surprised to find out that those are clovers. I had always thought clovers were love-shaped leaves, and when someone told me that the flowers in this photo are clovers, I confidently argued with him. Wikipedia proved me wrong, and I was really surprised, with something I had always thought to be sure off.

Well, this proves that sometimes, someone might be correct, even though you think that you are pretty sure about what you have in mind.

This little clovers, might not be perfect under the beating sun, but they are certainly strong. Maybe we should always embrace imperfections; nothing is perfect. Sometimes we are being so judgmental that some small imperfections could ruin something or someone. They could be beautifully imperfect.

Someday, we might find out that we couldn’t live without one’s imperfection in our lives.

Dreams…

My dream apartment, maybe?

There is a row of high-end apartments sitting right in the middle of Bucheon, a place I always pass by everyday on my way to work.

People always say, you won’t succeed when you don’t have a dream. But I would dare to say, even you have a dream, it doesn’t mean you will succeed. I am confident enough to say that I am a great dreamer, dreaming about all kinds of impossible stuffs. But seems like for someone who doesn’t walk the talk, all the dreams will just remain, as dreams.

I don’t know how much one unit of this apartment cost, and I don’t really dare to imagine the astronomical figure of it. Day by day, while passing by this place, in my mind, were the same thoughts, “when can I own something like that in the future?” The overwhelming feeling of owning something I really want will rush by, just like a washing tide in the evening. Just some puny dreams of mine.  Anyhow, I always yearned for something with a big front lawn and huge backyard rather than some apartment floating in the air!

Put all dreams aside, and maybe work a little harder. With some persistence and luck, I might get something similar to what I had always dreamt off.

Dare to dream!

In a world of make believe.

Journey into the world of make-believe

Sometimes, our world could be so twisted and cruel. The future seems so uncertain right now, for me, and for everything else around me.

Following the recent development in the Korea peninsular, everything seems to go on the wrong way. Whatever that had been done before decades ago, are now all gone, just in days. If you aren’t sure what I am talking about, it’s the sinking of the Cheonan corvette last couple months ago. Even though people around me say war isn’t imminent right now, it troubles me a lot. To think that someone could be cruel enough to torpedo a ship, that someone could also start a war for no particular reasons…

Well, frankly, everything seems to be upside down for me. Even though my career had merely just begun, my future seemed so blur, seemed so… uncertain at times. Sometimes I really dream of getting everything right and being successful in life, not disappointed everyone around me. I had been living my world of make-believe. I don’t know, I just don’t know. Now I just realized, responsibility is far more greater than I had imagined, and everything is much harder than before. There are more waiting for me out there, and it seems like I am not ready yet.

Maybe it’s best, to get whatever we can, out of any situation we are in. Be it something big, or something insignificant. Don’t let anything slip off, and someday regret about it.

Forget all about fairy tales of life that would never happen, and get ready to face this real world head on, even though, we have no idea we are heading to…
