April 22, 2010 - New Day, New Leaf, New Life



I'm thinking about overhauling everything and changing the looks of the blog, I'm tired of this look and would love a giant change.

But that's the thing I realized about my life a while back. I love change when I'm bored. Change of friends, change of look, change of habits, change of hobbies, change of pace.

I look back and all my mutual friends (who i will not list) i have stopped talking to already. I'm not sad at all about it cause they're having fun themselves, but it's funny how I don't see a point to keep those relations. Normal people would definitely try by saying "lets have lunch", or "lets go see a movie or something, we didn't hang in awhile". But me? I'm happy where-ever I am and don't really try to stay in contact, not that I don't want to. I won't if i'll ever be able to just situate myself within one group of friends and not change, or in this fast changing world, lost friends are inevitable.

So I must thank everyone who's been friends with me for more then a year, clearly you and I have something special enough to keep us in contact for that long.

For the others...lets have lunch =]

But i guess that's how life is suppose to be. People leave each other because of school. People forget each other because of their careers. They only can have so much close acquaintances in their life and each loss is unforgiving, but also unpreventable. I think I'll use a quote from Grey's Anatomy.

...we’re forced to know that life, every minute is borrowed time. And each person, we let ourselves care about is just one more loss somewhere down the line. For this reason, I know some doctors who just don’t bother making friends at all.
Is that too much of a pessimistic view on friends? Too much of a pessimistic view on life all together? I don't actually feel like that, but a guy can only wonder right? Think of the millions of people who have regretted losing their friends over a silly reason, and think of how many people would love to have their friends back. What's the percentage?

I bet you 100%

A lot of things to ask you guys!


1) How do you like the sidebar to speed up looking at old pictures?
2) What kind of posts do you like most? Funny? or things that make you think?
3) Is checking this site everyday tiring? Do you want me to post once every 2-3 days instead? (One photo from each day, just only with one story)
4) Leave any other comments about what I can do to make this a bit better, and I'll try to incorporate it if i like it =D.


5) Most importantly, what kind of pictures do you like most and would like to see more of? 
a) Person Profiles
b) Landscapes
c) Street Photography
d) Others - Specify


Your comments matter!

8 comments:

  1. 1) yeah that would not only convenient, but pretty cool too so that you can kind of preview all of the past ones

    2) honestly, i'd like a combination of both, but if i had to choose, i'd prefer to have things that make me think

    3) one photo, one day.

    4) we'll discuss.

    5) street photography...or person profiles of people you don't know yet. ;)

  2. 1) Useful.
    2) The ones that speak your thoughts.
    3) I don't mind. Keeps me busy for another few minutes.
    4) Do what you like, if you do what others want, then it's not really you, which really fails the point of a blog.
    5) Anything, it's all about you.

  4. lol
    im taking comments cause i'm running out of ideas to write about (writing everyday is exhausting).

    So when i asked for changes, i probably meant, you should ask me on my view about this or that. Life in general? it'll be my opinion, i wouldn't change my blog for some1 else, ty for reminding me though :D

  5. 1) less scrolling. yay.
    2) ones that make me think, while having humour in it :D
    3) a photo everyday. once people get into the habit of checking it everyday and you suddenly change the pattern, they're gonna stop checking altogether.
    4) layout change every so often?
    5) macro shots because you hate those :D
    everything... you have 330 days left for all kinds of pics

  6. Well you see Canon, that is all up to you. If you think it's funny and want to share it, go right ahead and do it. It gives people to know you better.

    Gideon, it's pretty simple about what I did. It's called, "Keep it simple". lol

  7. If u have nothing to write about, u can talk about photography. you can talk about anything you're good at. even things u aren't good at, talk about it since u'll get better.

  8. It is 3:19am at the moment and I got to reading your blog again. =) I'm not surprised that most of the things you write are good and deep. Probably its cause you have a way of speaking and thinking. All I can say is... I hope i'm not a friend who you just "lets have lunch" with. I've still thought of you as a big brother and childhood friend through all these years! =)
    I like the pictures in your blog the most! So keep them coming...
