The random side of me.

Offically I have hit the quarter-life crisis.

They call it the “Quarter-life Crisis.” It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn’t know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren’t exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don’t recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren’t really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job… and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn’t. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can’t meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren’t a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.

You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself… and while winning the race would be great, right now you’d just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

stumbled across this – very true.

Stand By Me

One of the best TVC’s from Hong Kong so far this year for Vitasoy, a drink which a lot of Hong Kong people grew up with. Warm, touching, connects to the locals and straight to the point. Have a look yourself.

42″ TV in public

So I thought the iPhone was a big piece of gadget already to be carrying around everyday – I remember the time when everyone loved small phones e.g. Nokia 8210.

On the way home on the MTR – I saw this guy whip out this HUGE hand held TV device, I swear it was like MASSIVE, i’ll let the photos speak.

Surprise

Life is full of surprises – good and bad.

Having a bad suprise, will just make you stronger and a better person.

Good surprises are always pleasant o recieve - hopefully i’ll get one each week like I have this week.

I thought I was in the States for 1 second.

From Borat to Bruno

Borat managed to make a quarter of a billion, so how much will Bruno make? Sacha Baron Cohen on the David Letterman show as himself and not Borat or Bruno – he’s definitely one of the top 10 comedians around, hands down.

A very sweet, meaningful and short film by Walt Disney and Pixar. If you have a minute, I highly recommend watching it. Enjoy =)

Style

When your “trousers” and not pants are too long, you are wearing the wrong shoe – I would classify that has a fashion disaster. So what I suggest is:

1) Go to the tailor
2) Look in the mirror
3) Get yourself sorted!

Taxi drivers

I don’t mind taxi drivers talking on the phone, as long as they don’t put my life in danger like the guy in the pic.
