you know what saddens me?

i've become adept at having meals on my own.

be kind. when you can.

be kind. your heart knows when to. 

it's happened twice already.

twice in a space of, i dunno, 10 years maybe?
but it's happened twice already.
two times i had the chance to help strangers.

...but i didn't.

back in uni, on a horribly rainy day,
i was lugging my groceries to the car,
and here i was half running in the rain

and i saw an old couple standing in the corner,
still getting drenched in the heavy rain,
presumably waiting for someone to pick them up.

...and i didn't even offer to give them a lift.

fast forward to yesterday evening,
i was waiting for my order at the food counter,
then this old lady (i think), came up and said;

"...i have a coupon, how much would it cost
to add fries with that? is this enough for it?..."

...and i didn't even offer to buy her a meal

why on earth didn't i run over to the couple,
and asked; "...do you need a lift? i can send you..."
why on earth didn't i say to the counter girl,
"...please get this lady the set meal please, on me..."

it just saddens me deeply that i didn't even react
or think quickly enough to instantly help them out,
when it clearly was in my power to do so?

it. just. feels. horrible.

i could've made sure an old couple returned safely home,
i could've made sure a lady had a nice meal to eat,
but i was stupid enough not to do something about it

i don't tend to have regrets in my life,
but those two incidents has stuck with me.
and i hope that they are all in good stead now. amin.

if your heart terdetik, be kind. it must be worth it.

life lesson of the day

there is absolutely no point in offering a solution
if people don't wanna see it as a problem in the 1st place.

might as well just let them do whatever the feck they want to.

true story.

insult of the day

person A : thanks for the present!

person B : sure, it's the least i can do.

(person A opens up the present)

person A : that's right. it's the least you can do.

but wait, A plus B doesn't equal C!

now, if i asked you; who do you think
are the number 1 enemies of hollywood?
critics? movie studios? video pirates?

wrong. it's engineers.

now, the problem with engineers is,
any movie has to be logical, has to make sense,
and all in all, things just HAVE to add up

otherwise it just ruins the movie, you see?

like when we watch "wanted",
we don't focus on a group of assassins
who restore parity and balance in the world

...we focus on the sewing machine instead.

you know, how on earth does the machine
receive encrypted messages thru the threads?
is it like, a wireless sewing machine maybe?

like when we watch "twilight",
we don't focus on the age-old war between
vampires and wolves for the love of a human

...we focus on why vampires are shiny instead.

you know, it isn't really scary when the worst thing
about a vampire is that he / she is shiny and glittery.
and why would that be, when they hate sunlight?

and like when we watch "the dark knight rises",
we don't focus on how batman rises from the dark
to save and fight for the city and people of gotham

...we focus on the location of the prison instead.

you know, since the prison looks very albanian-ish,
and since gotham is very likely in the united states,
then how did he walk on foot across the continent?

see?. engineers make the worst movie watchers.
