Lately, Recently

things happened so quickly,

time passed so fast,

and moments slipped away just like that.

                     

I have faith.

{ sometimes I still dream }

---

I've been slacking off 

for quite some time now,

for not blogging that is.

sorry.

---

 Make things happen,

don't wait,

I said.

I'm a non believer, a free thinker.

I don't wait for a being/presence who

I can't even see with my own eyes

to decide my future.

Not even to some gold statues.

--no offence.

---

I'm used to it,

used to make decisions by myself.

"Think before you say."

is always been a principle

that I carried since young age.

I was a careful person,

too careful,

some said.

I began to learn,

how to ease myself a little,

how to express my honest thoughts,

how to trust people.

---

I might not be everyone's

favorite character in any social circle of mine,

Always under-appreciated (true story),

Certainly not the kind of girl

who supposed to be girly/feminine,

cute, fluffy, down-to-earth, gentle type

that every guy would love.

well, it's not like I give a damn

to what people think of me.

this is my life, my future,

and I'll do it my way, my pace.

I have faith in myself.

Be true to myself.

An instant,

A hunch,

A signal,

An urge to do it.

I was so eager to let it out

"..JUST DO IT ALREADY!"

the result just doesn't matter

any longer.

and I did.

I felt great.

Well, to be honest,

I wasn't expecting anything at all,

but hey,

thanks for hearing me out,

thanks for the honest response.

One thin border.

Paranoid

or

Scaredy-cat? 

it's just a very thin border between these two.

hmm, I hate being in this kind of situation.

I've gotta let it out, not caring what's the consequences

or whatever will turn out after the conversation.

Nope, not at all.

I simply HAVE to say it out.

anyone up for a cup of coffee?

The Tipping Point

----------------------------------------------------

Recently I read a book called,

"The Tipping Point : How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference"

by Malcolm Gladwell.

"An elegant exploration of how social epidemics work,

whether they are fashion trends, diseases or behavior patterns

such as crime.. One of the most interesting aspects of 

Gladwell's book is the way it reaffirms that human beings

are profoundly social beings influenced by and 

influencing other human beings, no matter how much

technology we introduce into our lives."

--- Deirdre Donahue, USA Today.

------------------------------------------------------------

Though I haven't finish the book, few pages left actually,

but it clearly makes me wonder and think a lot lately.

I might not be a Maven or Salesman,

but deep inside I know I'm a Connector.

Here's a few sentences describing a Connector;

"What makes a Connector?-

The first - and most obvious - criterion 

is that Connectors know lots of people. 

They are the kinds of people who know everyone.

All of us know someone like this. But I don't think

that we believe that the kind of person who knows

everyone really knows everyone."

I don't know about you guys but I know

I do appreciate people like Connectors and Mavens.

My dad, is one of them.

He literally knows everyone,

no matter what kind of working field or positions,

which states or countries, races etc.

He just know someone from there.

I want to be a better Connector.

or even moving on to next stage, the Mavens.

(but yeah ya'know I'm an awesome-procrastinator)

"Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else."
