How reality blindfolds

Have you ever thought of why you’re being born in the world? If you do, what is it that you dream of? If you do have the passion on your dream, what is it that drives you? Most people would probably say, yeah, I want to lead a simple life, have kids and all that. Some would probably say, yeah, I would like to be doctor, and aid people, and a small portion would say, I would like to work hard and make a fortune out of myself. Regardless, what is it that drives you for such dream? I wouldn’t be surprised if someone came up to me and say that’s for the sake of the family, or nation, or someone you care about.

There are also people out that care too much about money. I mean, to the extent that they thought life is nothing without cash in hand. Sometimes, I wonder, if a CEO makes a living with 6 digit paycheck and another janitor barely makes 4-5 dollars an hour, what is it that differ the two? Is it the status? Is it power? Is it consuming or purchasing power? Without regard, both of them are money, it's just the value. Money is just way too common. There are things out there that I believe is much more important than mere printed bills. Should you swap your time in exchange for money? Yes, people do that to make a living, sure! But why? Money is mere tool, a tool to control the nature of a human, indirectly derives it, nurtures it, and makes them dare to believe and work on things.

Is this the norm of the human? If it is, whoever gains control of it, he possesses the power to control other people too. And with such power, it is possible to rewrite history. It is possible to make war, and reap from it. It is possible to cause chaotic havoc in the world without having them realize what it is. And of course, more terrifyingly, the power to change the human itself. A power that differs what we are and how we are governed daily. Of course, to receive such power, there exist sacrifices. And, what are those I wonder?

And of course, my eyes are and still watching....



From a piece of thought today, “what if I…..”

Another passion in life



Quite recently, I believe I need a replacement for Naruto. Being an otaku, I do think Naruto is nice and all, well, until recently since the storyline just gets really slow and plain boring. So, taking up a recommendation from a friend, I started reading the very first episode of One Piece..... And yes, as you might expect, it got me addicted ever since. I literally read 100 chapters a day, devoting my whole free time on it. Why? You might ask. Simple, the storyline is effectively interesting. It’s currently on 573rd chapter and the ‘kick’ is still there.

It got me hooked to the extent of I had to delete some movies in my desktop for the mangas.
But yeah, they all seem to worth every second I spend. This is the first time for me to read such creative piece of work that dictates a whole new level of manga style, humor, hope, and determination in a single piece of work. Nice. The character is well made, the plot is well planned, and the prompt humor and surprises just stroke me aback in suspense and relief. Overall, 9.5/10! If I’m able to offer him what I have, I would only hope that I could follow this manga to the end. Argh!


I especially like the part that Luffy met Boa Hancock and the war between the Whitebeard pirates against the government. Owhhhhh (send me flying in joy). Another passion placed in me by the Japanese. I wouldn’t be surprised. There are a lot of things to learn in the Japanese world, and yeah, as you may know, I’m game for it.
