Walking the parallel line!

When I was younger, I remember a saying, "it is never necessary for any of us to walk exactly on the line. When did anyone say you can't walk by the line?". How to relate it to our lives? Simple - it is true we should always plan and try to stick our plans. But, life is far from perfect considering how volatile life's circumstances can be.

Bearing in mind what life can sometimes throw at us, it is all about blending and adapting to the circumstances. After all, we have to remember we cannot expect circumstances to fit us. We are but one small insignificant lifeform in collective terms! So, we are the ones who should adjust. It was never easy, it is never easy and it will never be easy. We simply have to take what comes at us.

And that, is what I have started to learn. Although only a bit of it - learning but slowly. I think, I think... I am starting to like my job bit by bit. Quantifying it would probably be 55% - like the job and 45% - I do not like the job. So, judging from the current situation, I believe I slowly starting to walk parallel to the line I wanted, but I still need to get closer to the line..........

hiatus!

After having been online on the ~Path of Time~ since 2006..... it is going to be hard, painful and sad. As of today, I will officially stop writing on the ~Path of Time~. For those who have continued to read my posts, I thank you very much for taking timeout to read my posts. I am not sure if all my writings were great but I'll be happy to know even if it was only one post that reached your heart. I may one day pick up from where I left off here but only time will tell. Who knows I might even start afresh? Until next time.......... time stops ticking for the ~Path of Time~

one foot in the past, another in the future........ what about the present?

All of us go through a cycle, what we commonly call - the past, present and the future. It can probably be summed up by this simple phrase: " we come from the past to be in the present and look forward to the future ". Now, what I want you to do is take a step back, or just give your mind a minute or two to digest the above mentioned phrase. Ask yourself if it applies to you. Really ask yourself; and I mean REALLY ask yourself in the most honest of manner, whether it really applies to you. You may find it difficult to arrive at a 'yes' and even if you do, you probably find yourself in a paralysis state of mind trying to justify the 'yes'. If you really ponder about it, you are likely to find that most of us would find this phrase more relevant instead: " we come from the past and look forward to the future " You will find many of us either hang on to the past or look far too forward into the future, or likely for some to even be dwelling too much in ...

my first tow truck ride

It was like every other Saturday morning for me yesterday. Woke up early to get breakfast, get ready for my weekly rock climbing sessions. I felt pretty good yesterday since I managed to sleep the night before so I was feeling very energized and upbeat about my climb session. I might have spoke too soon though because my car decided to pull a fast one on me. I found it surprising because I always went on preventive maintenance for my car so I really wasn't expecting any breakdowns especially I didn't hear any sound symptoms, neither did I saw any signs of an impending breakdown. After all, it is only logical that mechanical parts would give out some form of symptoms to let you know it's about to go. I was actually driving myself to rock climbing, feeling all geared up and gung-ho about it. As I approached an uphill climb and right bend, I realised I was losing compression and the car was starting not respond to my pedal work on the accelerator. To make matters worse because...
