I know its been a few days since Michael Jackson's passing, but it was only up till today that I truly felt it. That sudden void in my stratosphere, that there's something missing. Something that's been there for so long is suddenly gone.
I grew up idolizing MJ. My first CD album was MJ's Dangerous. Till today, I still listen to it. As a matter of fact, its in my car's CD player ready for me to play whenever I need a jolt of Jam or Dangerous or Black or White.
Watching his videos on youtube really made me miss him even more. I suppose its just like what they always say. You don't really appreciate someone or someting till they are gone. So like the rest of the world, I miss MJ. Even more so now that his gone.
Thank you for all those great songs and memories.
RIP
Life goes on...

I know there are some quizzes on Facebook that are ridiculous, stupid and nonsensical. But I did one today and surprisingly, the result was pretty darn accurate.
Here's what it read,
"Your mask is strength. You try hard to fend for yourself. You do not let others do things for you. You often need to be in control of a situation, even if you can't handle it alone. You are always putting on a front, even if you don't feel strong at all. You don't let others see you when you're vulnerable, because you barely let your self be. Despite your flaws of always trying to act strong, you are a strong person, with strong character that can do anything you put your mind to. A lot of the times you really don't need anyone, and are perfectly capable on your own. However, there are times you find yourself wanting to let someone in but are not really sure how to."
That last line there really struck me every hard. So often I find myself at a lost when it comes to approaching friends.
Life goes on...

EnSabathNur is struggling with his lower back these days. Ever since he injured it in the gym 2 months ago, his been battling with back spasms, back aches and sharp pain. At least some consolation can be taken into the face that the spasms and sharp pain have subsided and all that's left is that constant dull aching pain. In dialect we call it "cing".
Not that he is too stubborn to stop working out. But fact is, he has invested so much time (6 days a week) and so much money on his nutrition, stopping now would mean having everything go down the drain. Just last weekend, he decided to give his body a 3 days break. No workout, nothing. On the fourth day, his body conveniently lost 1 kg. That 1 kg would take me eventually a week to put back.
So its a battle of balance. To workout and not strain the back. To gain weight and not completely stop working out. Its tough and he is frustrated.
Life goes on...
