Let’s just live and let live

Originally uploaded by: KnOizKi
Walking back home today, I thought about what I want to do with my next post, mostly when I think of writing, it always reflects on my at-the-moment thoughts. I wander lots of things, lots and lots that I’d screw up at the end and I don’t even use a notepad in my XP to write a draft. Writing nonesense to me woldn’t make any difference than writing a good ones, people would say “shut up, you write the same shit and you talk too much”. Go on say it. I know most of you writes brilliant post. I always feel that I need grammar machine to correct me as I type this. But I do believe that those who reads you defining you as the stereotype, is actually a sign of affection.
As I walk through the sidewalks, I glanced at people who walks back & forth before me. Mostly when it’s on a rush hour, people here just walk walk walk. If you’re walking on the right side of the path, they’ll inevitably shift right into you, making some huge WTF expression on their face now that you’re in their way. How would you feel if someone walk past behind you, hit your shoulder then stare back at you without even saying they were sorry?
Going back in time where I started to enjoy the funk atmosphere around here, I struggled with the culture shock. Well you know everyone has differences so I’d pretend it never happens, especially during the rush hour at downtown Causeway Bay. But what shocked me is that, when there are people who stares at you, a stare like “oh fook, that LV bag is fake” look, as if you got an ick in the face? I think that’s not really polite. So I said, maybe, it’s the kind of life I had to face in this wonderful city. Then sometimes I’m convinced that I’ve become invisible and put myself on their shoes then I will probably know why.
But honestly, space is so valuable in HK where the volume of people never stop increasing, from the Mainland, the Filipinos, The Indians, many of us, small spaces stuffed with more and more people is never going to ease off. This is also similar to all populated cities anywhere on this planet. I wonder if the entire population of huge people, who wants to come here should start slimming down and help themselves slip thru the crowd easier and bump less into people. What would it be?
And today, I’d put a story behind them in my thoughts and preuse them as a part of my what-is-going-on-with-me moment. So when I finally arrived home, yes I know the laundry is piling up, the underwears are soaked, the smell of the ashtray spreads in the kitchen and I’m feeling so down at moment, I asked myself about the things that has a strong significance on me in the street.
As I imagine those faces of people, it puts me into thinking that I need a few lists below to live by. I guess it’s time to reflect on something positive during this Lenten season. I got this somewhere while I was reading an article about the Lent. So let’s just live and let live, hey?
That the most powerful force in life is love.
That the two most power-filled words we need is ‘I can”.
That the ugliest personality we may have is being selfish.
That the most beautiful attire to wear is not brand names but smile.
That the most worthless emotion we keep is self pity.
That the most sleeping pills we need to take is a peace of mind.
That the most destructive habit we always do is to worry.
That the greatest loss in life is losing our self respect.
That the worst thing to be without is hope.
That the most deadliest weapon we possesses is our tounge.
That the most contagious spirit to feel is our enthusiasm.
That the greatest problem we need to overcome is fear.
That the world’s most incredible computer is our brain.
That the greatest joy to feel is giving.
That the most powerful communication we should practice is prayer.
And most of all, the most important thing to have in our lives is God.
Have an immaculate Holy Thursday!

hi K! just returning a visit
that’s quite a powerful reflection. i guess each of us has a need to discover our place in this world, you know, the kind that makes the people around us notice when we’re no longer where we should be. that’s a great list to live by, i hope you’d stick to it. 
anyway, just remember that every day is meant to be a challenge, and challenges are what makes us better and wiser persons. hopefully, when the time comes when we find out exactly where we are and what the purpose of our journey is, we won’t have to crash into one another just to make a significant connection.
may you have a meaningful lenten season, K.
Oh hey Meeya, what a kind visit. Your comments simply enlightens me. And you’re right, every journey has its own meaning. As I struggle with life, I see that it is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
Thanks for the kind words.
K sweetie, Nevermind the pain, Nevermind the worries. Nevermind the those ugly stares or the bruised shoulder. Always remember that we have this special something that makes us think when we’re really really down why life is worth living.
Though we’re yet to know what that element is… walk on sis. chin up and with ur head up high… smile always *hugs*
*K gets a fry pan and poke them over Yuri’s head till it hurts, but Yuri can’t feel them, his head is hard as a rock. I think he deserves a kiss in the nips*
And he calls me a Sweety and he calls me a Sis and perhaps next time he’ll probably call me a Mother Theresa. But I can be your lover.
Anak ng Teteng!
Ang sakit nun hahahaha… hahahahah ikaw talaga.
Sing with me:
I’m a bitch, I’m a lover
I’m a child, I’m a mother
I’m a sinner, I’m a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I’m your hell, I’m your dream
I’m nothing in between
You know you wouldn’t want it any other way ….
I’m a bitch, I’m a tease
I’m a goddess on my knees
when you hurt, when you suffer
I’m your angel undercover
I’ve been numbed, I’m revived
can’t say I’m not alive
You know I wouldn’t want it any other way ….
luv my biatch!
is this post in accordance with the lenten season?
but then again.. i also believe that the most destructive habit of them all is worry.
have a good week, K!
Don’t worry. Be happy.
pssstttt! Y and K–> stop the flirting! lol
Duke, well this post is also part of the Cuaresma - things we give up until Yuri started the kissing the licking the carressing the.. the… (fill in the blank).
I must admit, I worry about money all the time.
K started it…. belat!
Oistt it wasn’t me! it wasn’t you either. Aha… Duke did!!!
cheer up mate!
Did I really sound so upset here? I’m probably drinking too much coffee. Ugh.
LOVE everything that was mentioned on the list. It’s a keeper.
Yeah I know the feeling of getting bumped into and then feeling as if you’re the sole cause of their brief moment of inconvenience. Next time that happens again, wear a smile and wave to them an apology. They won’t see that coming.
Thanks Pari. Maybe next time that happens, I’ll push them hard till they fall. Just kidding. I guess it was just one of those days when you tend to be in a crowd full of shoppers and probably it was normal to bumped accidentally with other fellow shoppers.
Perhaps, I’ll stay away going to crowded places like Causeway Bay - ugh HK is so tiny that you just enjoy seeing people busy shopping. I’ll live with it.
