From The Eyes of An Observer

My eyes allow me to see... But my blog allows me to express it truthfully.

Most of you, i'm sure, have went into a supermarket before. Well, if you hadn't, I suggest that you take a trip to one that is nearest to you. 


The moment that you enter them and headed to the nearest shelves, you will see a variety of similar products together. For example, tomato sauce. I'm sure there are different brands with different labels on them. Its this exact labels that differentiate from one brand with other brands.

And so are we. There are billions of us walking on earth right now. How do we differentiate ourselves from others? That's where labels come into place. 

"Hey! Check out at that beautiful girl!"
"Which one?"
"The one with brunette hair."

Just from that example above, the girl that became a subject of conversation has two physical characteristics labelled on her: beauty and brunette. Those are the features that differentiates her with others. 

And there are other categories of labels as well, ranging from character to religion. And sadly, because of this differences in charactheristic, there are people who discriminates. 

Labels won't go away. We won't be able to resolve these differences in feature or charactheristic or religion. But we can change the way how we view others in a positive way or through conversation in a respectful manner. This way, we can avoid ourselves from conflicts. 

I hope I could see, in my lifetime, a thought of unity for my country, which is uniquely diverse in terms of race, religion and culture.

Starting New...

And so, I decided to start from scratch....


It has been a very long time since I las draft an entry. And it was last posted on my old blogspot that I have just deleted. Gone were my old posts from my younger years which I was diligently posting during my active years of blogging.... From year 2008 to 2011. They were just old DETAILED memories, expressing mostly of my unhappiness and frustrations that was pent up inside of me....

But I could no longer associate myself with those entries any longer. They were mostly depressing, sad and angry, which was opposite to how I mostly feel in general. It was only a tool to allow me to express my negative feelings and energies that I had withheld deep within me. Just to allow me to stay sane... 

However, those posts were not entirely honest as I withheld myself in check... Just to keep my fury in control... and there was a hint of hesitance in my writing: making it raw and not smooth when reading. Not to mention moments of pause which doesn't connect the paragraphs well. 

Now, I decided to write again. And I pledge myself to write as honest as possible, regardless of my emotions... And to approach my posts with sufficient enthusiasm as I could muster within me. My growth over the years in terms of my writing as well as my maturity will be used well to enhance my posts moving forward... 

Behold! I'm no longer a kid. For I am now OLD!!!
