i didn't learn much today, it happened that time is quite slow, the usual busy hush of office work on the first day of the week hasn't been felt. nevertheless it was a one fine day moment to cherish. something accounted for a not-so-important day to consider but reality check, it was a smooth day. No weary and angry customers. The work load is light. had to laugh and enjoy such jokes and 'lil stories from my officemates.
evening's almost perfect, after having dinner with yesterday's left-over food from the fridge, had time to browse and surf the net, especially twitter. one way to pass and let the food digested. for after 2 more hours, headed straight for my 30-minute work out. Sweat all-over my body, enjoying every muscle throbbing, aching, until it became hard.
and finally, i had my shower- a warm one, it took 12-15 minutes probably. and finally taking my laban fresh milk mixed with fruit mixed juice.
oh well, what else?
oh yeah! it rained, not that heavy but it poured. it touched and flowed on my skin as i was walking from the outside halls of the villa building.
so, that was it! a one whole day to end, with a prayer of course, before i enter dreamland.

Saying I Love you
As i am writing this, it awes me to realize how great the love of a mother. Memories of the past came flooding in to my train of thought as i look back in my childhood days, i being growing-up, during my college life, as a working individual, and farther i went thru this journey of life, where i finally get the hang of being independent from the arms and cares of my family.. especially from the reminders and advices of my mom. Although the gradual change of not getting in touch with her seems unimportant on my part, time has never faltered to come where i suddenly feel the longing of being in her unwavering care and concern.
Lucky are those who felt the love of their mothers, for this is the most basic kind of love any human ever could get and experience. It is just then righteous to reciprocate this love. Not only by the things in this world but most of all, to be emotionally connected, and letting her feel that time may pass and distance may be immeasurable for both of you, the fact still remains that you did not forget her.
When was the last time you said "i love you" to your Mom?

Empathy
"If we could just slow down enough to consider what's true and real, and always try to understand the way other people feel"
Above line was quoted from The Dash by Linda Ellis. A stanza in the poem that means a lot as you interact with other people. Most of the time, we tend to forget putting ourselves in other's shoes. Losing empathy, losing the real sense of connection.
There is more in being harmonious relationship to others than doing the ultimate side jokes and pranks in titter-chatter which are mostly the cases these days. There is more in maintaining human nature's courteousness... for this is a measurement of greatness, on how you have treated the lesser man through love and courtesy.

April Fool's Day
Since when was April Fool's Day got established?
As per articles from the internet, the first prank has originated way way back in the old times where it has commenced reading the lines of Chaucer's The Canterburry Tales, take note! this is year 1392..
Whenever this day come, it made me think of watching MTV and all my VJ idols wayback in the early years of 2000. My knowledge with April fool's has began with MTV, they have this show before like MTV Most wanted, where you have to write and ask a song via mail, enclosed is your artistic, hand-made, carefully styled made -of- anything creative invention, which then showed and read by the VJ, and if you're lucky enough to be the "request of the day", you get to get a great sing-song and perks from the jocks themselves and MTV.
Ah, those were the days when a passing day is just a slip without so much pressure, where the first day of April got to be so funny and anxiously tremendous. For why?
At these times where adulthood is at it's peak, it seems like life has been a serious journey, i can't help but feel being somber and meditative on the past.
It does not hurt, for once in a while to be a fool sometimes. Again, i may not able to convey what i want to tell you here but i'm sure you're getting my point.
;) live life everyday as if t'was your last...

Practice random acts of kindness
It does feel great all the time when you know deep down that you have helped someone. It's the feeling when your attitude tells you to do it, without expecting something in return. Doing acts of kindness without hesitation or second thoughts deliver a sense of fulfillment.
An effect which makes you smile on your own in your solitude, leaving your thoughts amazed and rejuvinating the sense of accomplishment.
I wouldn't be citing examples here. Because i believe that these random acts of kindness comes spontaneously. When the need arises, or when a situation rolls over, your impulse and your conscience to help suddenly is on its adrenaline rush.
Your heart speaks out whenever the act of kindness is being triggered. Combine it with your mighty physical strength, everything would be possible.
Remember, it's the small things in this world that makes the whole complete. These small things are usually unknown or unnoticed by the giver of kindness but it means a lot to the receiver. The gratefulness from the receiver might not be even spoken out, but it has left a wonderful impression, both in the mind and heart.
