science, faith and playstations

I can’t get enough of Science & Faith. It’s been running over and over on my playlist. I like its beat. It has a modernized ‘old-school’ feel into it (haha… whatever).

“You won’t find faith or hope down a telescope;
You won’t find heart and soul in the stars;
You can break everything back to chemicals,
but you can’t explain a love like ours.

It’s the way we feel, yeah, this is real.”

I finally bought myself a PlayStation 3 (PS3) after delaying it for the longest time. Of course, being a fan of the Final Fantasy series, FFXIII is the first game I bought. I’m now trying NOT to get addicted to gaming again so I’m controlling my playing hours. I will limit myself to 2 hours of play time during weekdays and 6 hours for weekends.

HD gaming, how I love thee. I know, I’m a late bloomer. Others may have moved on to 3D gaming or whatever and I’m still at awe with a ten year old technology. I can’t help it, I enjoy playing up close on a large TV (hello nausea). Even if my LCD TV is not a Bravia, it still works well with the PS3.

I’m really satisfied with my tech purchases.

think happy thoughts

I’ve had the best dream last night. I was so happy that I woke up smiling. Not wanting to end the joy, I willed myself to sleep again and tried to pick up where my dream left off. Surprisingly, it worked. I felt bliss for another 30 minutes.

Then I was late for work.

you’re a keeper

We’re all waiting for something better to come along.

We’re still hoping that we’ll get what we’ve always wanted. In the process, we hold on to the things that we no longer like but still find useful. We hold on to our current jobs, our old friends, and even our problematic relationships just because we can’t do away with them. We do this until a good opportunity comes along. And as soon as that happens, we drop everything like hot potatoes.

Is this true for you? What are the things that you are keeping just because you have nothing else to replace it with?

the making of a psycho

Some people just know how to write good stuff. I wish I could be like them.

I chanced upon (by cyber-stalking, haha…) a blog of a friend of a friend. Curious as always, I read one post.  The next thing I knew, I’ve read them all. Some people are just naturally talented in writing. Psychopathic as it may sound, I felt like I knew this person afterwards. I may have injected in my subconscious that we are actually friends. (Cue psycho music…)

I got a copy of Lee DeWyze’s new album (please don’t laugh), and I think I like it. I filed it under my feel-good-sunny-Sunday-morning-sounds playlist. I need a break from my usual angst-filled grunge music. I need to smile from time to time.
