If today is
not the right time to do
what you
have the opportunity to do something
you've long thought of doing,
then When ?
If today is not the day to take that first step,
then When ?
If today is not the day, then When ?
The next time
you may be thinking of doing something,
it might be thoughts of opportunities lost or
worse,
of not being able to do anything about it.
If not now, WHEN ?

THE BEST
Once you find the best, you just can not go back, go back to what you once thought was, the best.
And there's no going back, only moving forward, only constantly on the look out for the best.
Some times you do it on your own. Some times a friend takes you by the hand.
And with eyes open, ears perked up or taste buds waiting for the next flavor to announce itself on your tongue, you just can not wait for the next one.
The best - found a lot of them in the people I meet and get to keep as friends.
Found them in the food I ingest, in the clothes I decide to wrap myself in and in the sound system which could be among the most expensive purchases you make.
And people think you're a bit crazy or ridiculous to go with it.
I say you only live once and don't you think you deserve the best.
Otherwise, why ?
Yes, Ihave been lucky to have found some of the best and at times I have been the best, and it's not about bragging, just knowing.
But I am still evolving and still trying to be my best.
This is not about me.
It is also about you and you know you also have your bests.
I can only try to be the best and at times I will be.
And other times, you will be or you will find your bests.
Or think you have.
As I have. (As I have been asked once in a while why I know.)

wish i had met you then too
met someone at a bookstore this afternoon and it's only now at the close of another day that i got to appreciate what he said as he was leaving - i wish i had met you then.
i don't want to make it about me but about how we affect other people or how people perceive us through what we tell them or the thoughts we share with them.
okay, i'll admit that it made me feel good.
but not at the moment that he said it.
just tonight and it could not have come at a better time.
cause i had a not so good week and what he said just made me accept the bad with the good things which also happened in the same week.
and if only one person gets to read this post, i know she would understand what this is all about. for she is in my life right now for whatever reasons we need to be together - not only for myself but also for herself.
i will backtrack a bit about why this person i spent a very short time at the bookstore made me do this post. he had asked me to recommend a book he could give a friend as a gift for graduation. he said he wanted a book which was somewhat "deep" but not that difficult to read.
so i told him about just one book, and yes, it's currently being read by this girl in my life right now. and without asking for a second one he decided to buy it.
does it make sense now that i would decide to do this post ?
how many people would take our word without even knowing us ?
then again maybe i did make an impression on him ?
but consider this - we got to know just a bit more about each other after he had paid for the book.
and as he was leaving he blurted out how he wished he had known me when i was living in the place he's going back to (and where he would be living cause he's from there).
thank you, bandar. wish i had met you then too. but your saying it has made me appreciate the past week's bad and good moments.
and, yes, i got to see the last few moments of "lost" and just enough to know what it was all about.

TURNED OFF but not Tuned Out
No, I'm not off.
I've just slowly weaned myself off television.
I still keep it on most of the time but I do a lot more finger flicking on the remote to tune out or turn away from shows which feature SO-CALLED EXPERTS, on politics, SPECIALLY, who really just have their own inane, self-promoting ideas which don't help anyone but themselves.
So, if you know so much, what have you done for me, for us lately ?
Oh right, if you did know what to do about life's daily little messes, you would not be guesting on shows. Yes, yes, you have to guest, that's how you make your money and show other people they're not as "brainy" (sad ass brainy) as you are.
Then there are shows which basically INSULT ONE'S INTELLIGENCE, I am surprised they're still on. Oh yeah, there are a lot of people out there who DON'T GET IT. Sorry, the boat left a long time ago.
Yes, I keep the television on : to catch snippets of intelligent news reproting and just to know what to wear. No, no not from the celebrity or style shows. It's the weather guessers' I watch.
I want to know what I should wear from their "ability" to forecast how it's gonna feel outside. I already know how I am going to feel.
So you ask (or wonder) whom I watch or listen to.
It's the man (or woman, or child) on the street whom I observe or luckily get to share their story.
It's the real thing, not some made for TV (money) plot.
And I learn a lot (or a needed laugh) from.
It's not passive. There and then I get to do something better than sitting (or lying) in front of a TV I can't talk back to or get a reaction from.
It's live, it's REAL life and it's Free.
For all those times I did not get the chance to or I forgot to tell you how much I gained from allowing me a conversation or interaction :
Thank you !

It's Not WHY? It's WHY NOT ?
You read right.
It's not WHY ?
It's WHY NOT ?
It's about having a dream and believing in it.
You know what it's like. You have an idea and someone tells you it's not going to work.
For some reason, you may be told it was done before and it didn't come out the way it was expected to.
You know better though and you go ahead and do what you have to do to make it happen.
And it does.
Or do you ?
It's Not WHY ?
It' WHY NOT ?
Why you think do I know. What do you think I know ?
I know because I had a number of dreams come true.
And, yes,they started as daydreams. Yes, daydreams.
But they were the seeds. And once I planted these "seeds" in my head they started to grow.
And the universe seemed to know and over time, the wheels started to turn and the dreams came true.
