The One, The Only
Watch out for what you eat, even if it's homemade. These two days, I suffered through an episode of "food poisoning". From what? the fried rice my grandma made for me. Dont eat ANYTHING that's been left in the car for extended periods of time (yea yea yea..i'm an idiot that lacks common sense). Otherwise, you'll end up with whimsical gagging reflexes, lack of energy, and most of all...loss of appetite (which I am o so proud of). The two days of recovery process restrained me from my usual "hyperactivity" and stayed in my private room detention. On the bright side...I'm getting paid to stay home and do absolutely NOTHING! mwa ha ha ha ha... the wonders of sick leaves and excessive vacation hours...simply SCHWEEET! =D
Ending with my update...I should proceed onto my subject. Now...relieved from most of my responsibilities at work (3 weeks left...woohoo!!! \(^o^)/) I have plenty of time to waste and boredom to spare. With all the time in the world and being REALLY bored...I've been browsing through people's blogs...includes the ones written by strangers. It's been rather interesting to read about what others have to say about assorted subjects. I also have been doing quite a lot of Aiming as well (no duh...#1 aim addict right here! what else am I suppose to do at work? be productive???? shyea right!) One thing I've realized (along with many others..but let's just pick the prominant one)...as much as I'd like to think my ideas and thoughts are "unique" or "original"...they're really not. Things I've said most likely have been mentioned by others and the thoughts I have most likely have been pondered by others as well. A lot of times you think to yourself...I must be the only person suffering through all this and why am I the only one alone suffering? chances are...there are plenty others out there who can identify with your situation or have experienced through the same things. Nothing's ever really "orginal" or "unique"..for all that I know, there might be another person somewhere in the world writing about the same topic as me.
If that is the case...how is everyone of us "unique" and different from other people???
I'd like to think, the thoughts and ideas we have are like numbers. A number by itself is neither unique or original. It's plain and can be repeated at any moment. However, when you combine all types of different numbers together into series of "numbers"....you get...human! Everyone have their own set of combinations and they occur at random. It cannot be repeated nor can it be reproduced at any given moment. THAT is what made each and everyone of us unique and separates us from each other. In a sense...none of the thoughts we have are ever "one of a kind" (unless you pride yourself as the 21st century Aristotle, Socrates, Newton, Einstein or etc.) but with all the various thoughts together shuffling through our CNS...each and every one of us are "the one, the only".
For me it's definitely humbling to know that "oh...I guess I'm not the only person that thinks about this". but it's also comforting to know that there are others who can identify with what are going through my mind. But in the end..there's only ONE Aileen! with all her random craziness and all. =P Can't reproduce another one of me...isn't that a reassuring thing to know hehe.. ;-)
So from now on..if at anytime..someone ever says to you..."dang..you're not being original! I've thought of that already!". Just say to that person "well...recite π (pi) for me then you b*tch! HA! i knew you can't! so shut up!" hahahahah...
disclaimer: If you do indeed decide to take on the above approach...you might end up opening a can of whoop a$$. I will not...I repeat...I will not be responsible for the consequences.
Simple Pleasures in Life
1) Sipping on a bowl of hot soup or a cup of hot tea on a cold winter day
2) Jumping into a body of cold water on a hot summer night...naked! hahahah..j/k
3) 6pm hits (end of work and din din time!)
4) Shower before bed
5) Sleeping on freshly washed sheets...the smell is enough to give you a pleasant sleep =)
