How's Life for you now?

Like how the wheel turns.

I've been on hiatus, no denying that as seen from the updates here on metallic-stains. Holidays swung into full pendulum only recently (due to supplementary papers and stuff) which probably explains this hiatus.

The break was good and it made me think about things which I normally don't ponder over. A whole bunch of stuff has been happening around me during this period of time.

I'm sure in everyone's childhood, there will be this particular cartoon that we will remember for years to come and recently, the thought surfaced once again.

Anyone heard of this cartoon film called "the Lion King"? For me, that was my influential childhood film. If you've watched it, you might recall the eminent theme emphasized in the movie; the circle of life.

Interestingly, I was somehow or another, brought up upon that theme. That life was a circle and what goes around comes around.

That in itself is true for life is indeed a circle and a process.

However, as I slowly probed in the authenticity of that claim, I begin to realize that life isn't really a perfect circle, as we thought it would be.

My interpretation of life.

This is life, well my interpretation that is.

In life, we have up and downs; sometimes when things are looking all good and rosy, we're on that high but when everything turns to shit (pardon me) and even people walking on the streets are seemingly out to make your life miserable, you're on that low.

Thus explaining the bumps and crevices on that "circle of life".

We have to acknowledge the fact that that there's always a low after that high or more optimistically, a high after the low.

Swirly wirly, what comes after, nobody knows.

This is life, we'll have no idea what's coming around that corner, that bend or after that turn, but we just step right up and face it regardless cause that is in itself, our will to move forward and to succeed.

So I ask, how's life for you now?

Whether if you're on that peak of the high, having the time of your life, or hitting that rock bottom, let us keep in mind that things will only get better in time to come.

On a side note, I wish to express my deepest appreciation to my family and friends for making the pass week such an enjoyable and memorable one, thank you everyone.

I guess I'll end here for now and hopefully with some food for thought. School will resume soon and quite honestly, never a better time.

Though I'm on semi hiatus here on metallic-stains, be sure to check out my other inputs (such as twitter, facebook and flickr) located to the right for timely updates and additions.

Be right back, soon.

Pulling it right back up

A Difference, indeed.

I woke up with a heavy heart today. Mainly due to the fact that the pass two days of my life were spent entirely devoted to developing into "a more effective leader" through the means of a school camp or it might be due to the fact that during my long and thorough sleep, I saw things that, lets just say, I wouldn't want to see happening.

The weather didn't help much either.

This feeling is interesting for I haven't felt it in a long time. A thought so strong and prospective that it actually made me think about things in a more analytical, and practical fashion.

The past two days spent at the school camp weren't exactly ideal or that much enjoyable, well to me at least; I found multiple aspects of the camp to be largely redundant and freedom was kept to a minimum (as with most other camps).

We're at that age where our minds reign and crave freedom, where rules stand for nothing and where we like to express ourselves and our thoughts to the world.

I acknowledge that fact as I feel that transition as well, essentially, we hate to be controlled.

But the lack of control often breeds the lack of order, which in turn leads to being reckless and doing things that one would regret ultimately.

Just like Light streaks, the mind is often limitless and unexpected.

That fine line has to be drawn between crossing and staying within the boundary.

Well, that's that I presume.

As seen evidently on metallic-stains, I've been on hiatus for the past couple of weeks, largely due to the various R&R activities planned.

Interestingly, these few weeks of hiatus has somehow or another, changed me in a way quite very unexplainable. It made me see things in a new light, as well as feel differently about things and occurrences around me.

Many things in life change as that is the the focal point of improvement but these few weeks have made me realized that some things are and should be kept constant not matter what radical changes take place. Think about it.

You might have also noted that though I've been on hiatus posting here on metallic-stains, Audrey has been hard at work taking interesting shots of things over the weeks.

Also, this is a good time to post a shout out to those of you out there who use Twitter. Be sure to "follow me" and my tweets via the link by the right.

Alright, that's all for this short update here on metallic-stains. Be sure to check back soon. The hiatus is over. More stuff soon to come.

Be back, soon.
