Life according to ishtangli

Last week, I found out that someone actually reads this shit… so I’ve decided I’m going to keep at it. I’ve updated some of my old entries (mostly just cosmetic-ish) and am cooking up few new ones.

Hope you guys don’t mind if I delve into some more serious stuff like politics and society. I’ve been thinking of a good story the past few days and I think it’s “matured” enough to be written.

For now I’m gonna come up with an outline (geeky). Baka by Friday isulat ko na. Just stay tuned okay?

I love coffee shops. They’re the best…

Comfy chairs. Good music. The sweet smell of fresh coffee. Silence…

I love coffee shops. They’re the best…

A good book. My PSP or DS. Someone you like. A good conversation…

I love coffee shops. They’re the best…

My own little hideaway. Nobody’s looking. Nobody cares…

I love coffee shops. They’re the best…

It must be spring somewhere coz’ I’ve been seeing the birds and the bees. I guess its just that time of the year… AGAIN!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

I just finished downloading this old Anime called “Boys Be”. Its about this group of Japanese High School Students who discover love. The last time i watched it was back in college.

Its such a good Anime. Real world setting, real world situations. Just got one problem with it… everytime I watch it, I feel lonely.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

Ayan nanaman! Perfect timing again. Right when I meet someone whom I would love to get to know. Stupid internet! Why did I ever download that cartoon?!?

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

Here’s the scoop. I met this girl. She’s nice, smart, hard working (almost a workaholic). She’s simple and she likes to drink coffee. She’s everything I’ve always dreamed kaso she’s ignoring me. I mean, I’ve tried everything… every possible method to get to know her pero wala talaga. Is it me? Do I smell? I’m trying to take it slow pero wala talaga eh.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

I sure hope this is just a phase. I’d really hate it if this affected my work.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

Maybe its time I put my camera to good use. Haven’t been this inspired in a while so maybe it’ll pay off sa photography ko. I need to keep myself occupied for now. Mahirap na ma-dismaya ulit.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

In closing, here’s something I cooked up in 5 minutes describing how I feel.

Loneliness is a feeling

Only the heart understands

Vastly misunderstood

Everything has a plan

One day I’ll wake up and realize that my life wasn’t all I had hoped it would be. Then I’ll look back at all the crazy things that I did and say, “know what, it wasn’t perfect but DAMN was it great!”

I’ve always thought there was no such thing as the present; either you live for the past, or aim for the future; nothing in between. Why you ask? Just think about it: if the future is unpredictable, is the present any different? I mean, the only real thing we’re sure of are what we did in the past… man I hope I aint dumb enough to do that all over again!!!

I gotta start looking ahead. Stop whatever I’m doing now and just think a few years into the future. I’m a year away from my old 5 year goal. Am I any closer to it?? Hell no!!!

3 paragraphs down… So what am I blabbering about? Live without regret… it’s a waste of your time. If you dont like where you are, do something about it. I’m nowhere near my old 5 year goal but that doesn’t stop me. I’m gonna make a new 1 and another 1 after that.

To answer your curiousity, my old 5 year goal was to be a boss (i.e. management). I’m not even a senior but… I have my own car (and I do mean my own! none of that mommy gave me half the money or 60%-40% shit), I am a certified open water diver, I have a PSP and a Nintendo DS Lite, I am a wannabe photographer with a DSLR + 3 lenses, and I’ve LOST 45LBS TO DATE!

Update:

I’ve lost 70 LBS na total and I own 2 Xbox360’s. I know they’re all material objects but I worked hard for them and I’m happy.
