Stagnant

"Are you moving forward? Being stagnant equates to slowly sliding backward."

 A Stagnent Excitment - image from deviantart ~xxrwxx

Ain't I determined on a change? If I really do, this same situation has to be handled differently. Just plainly stopping on track already proved otherwise.
/patontheback for identifying this early

Dave.

Subconscious

"Do you find yourself saying yes, walking forward, or making that decision without actually knowing the reason why you did so? Our subconscious mind has already made that decision, it's just skipping the normal thought process."

 Subconscious - image from deviantart ~lostknightkg

Don't worry, more often than not, that choice is actually what you always wanted.

Hope everyone enjoyed 2010. Let's all move on towards an even brighter 2011. Have a great year ahead!

Silent killer

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. - Benjamin Franklin

and i'm back from my short break,
will be going for another one this weekend, probably.
Dave.

Effort

"It is something so easy to notice, yet it holds profound meaning. If the message ain't clear enough, then I must be a fool."

Yes I'm still the same, a fool.
Dave.

Silent night

"It's the season, and we all deserved to sleep sound tonight."

Dave.

Undecided

 "Let your 'Yes' be a yes, and your 'No' truly a no. A half-choice holds you from a clear decision, hinders you from moving forward, and it silently kills the other party, leaving them guessing on fleeting hopes."

Undecided - image from deviantart ~EmineS-Frame

Dave.

Alive

"What makes you feel truly alive? Is it the release into freedom, the ability to run and breathe freely, or merely the thought that you are significant and mattered much to someone?"

ALIVE - image from deviantart ~Mr-Catastrophical

Dave.

Flickering

"A flickering light bulb spells indecisiveness. It does still offer a source of lighting, but it gets so irritable, so uncomfortable that it's best to not switch in on at all. Often then not, the solution is fairly easy."

Dave.

catalyst

"How convenient it is to point the culprit of this disaster to the catalyst; who wasn't even introduced into the mixture while the pot of soup was already in ruins."

Dave.

if cuteness could kill

"When she gazes her beady eyes right into yours, all your worries and trouble accumulated in the day simple melts away."

By the way, that's Ebi, my pet Maltese.

Paradigm Shift

"Everyone loves staying in their comfort zone - it's only human nature. But no change would occur if we were to stick to the same formula. If you desire a different result, do something different, today."

Paradigm Shifts - image from deviantart ~DanyaChang
will your change last?

Dave.

Perfect Day

"On a perfect day, yolks don't break, hair obeys, cars stop honking and bosses cease hounding. Only on a perfect day."

Skin deep

"Beauty's only skin deep. But, in reality, most relation are really just as that shallow. Only a chosen few are granted exclusive access beyond the skin, and straight to the heart."

.Everybody's Fool. - image from deviantart ~Dreamless-immortal

Time and duration isn't a factor. 

It is the connection of the soul.

can you see beyond, too?

Dave.

because..

“不论生活有多续剧化，不管事情有多复杂， 请不要忘了微笑。=]”

..i'm just in love with that smile.

Dave.

Manipulation

"Every intention has an hidden agenda, every action speaks off a motive; Manipulation: that's the world we all live in."

deceptively yours, - image from deviantart ~emeraldiris

Someone once mentioned to me that nothing is of the surest.
That if you really have to decide your entire trust into something, let it be of someone running the same blood as you. But, even family betray one another, don't they?

never a hundred percent

Dave.

Vino-tionship

"Relationship should be as though compared to a fine bottle of wine. As it ages, it should gradually bring out the fullness and richness in its flavor and taste. However, the temperature and environment where the bottle is being kept plays a major role."

Red Wine - image from deviantart ~`MYvonne

So, what exactly is this 'temperature and ideal environment' in the context of a relationship?
This answer differs for every individuals.
But I would gladly do a safe bet that Maturity and Trust is of the top list candidates.

Dave.

ROI

In a business, if the Return on Investment is not justifiable, it would simply make no sense to initiate / carry on with the plan anymore; it's bound to lose.

This could be translated into stuff we invest our time into daily. Are you getting back the expected interest? Are you being appreciated? Or are you just a filler role to cover up a gap someone failed to provide?

but then again. some things are uncontrollable.
maybe it's just in my blood to being like this.

我要做坏人。

Dave.

You ain't my..

"Everyone has a role to play in someone else's life. Some roles synchronises and mix perfectly; like a lover and a friend, while others simply cause the opposite effect as though bringing together oil and water."

Dave.

two-face

"Bitterness is a slow poison. It will slowly creep in and begin eating you from the inside. Ripping you apart, transforming you into someone even those closest to you fail to recognise."

Two-Face v1 - image from deviantart ~vicariou5

Egotism.Controlling.Suspicious.

Dave.

Alone, in your own world

"We think in a more logical sense whenever we are alone. We arrive at conclusion, we set plans, and evaluate the right and wrongs of the day.

This is when emotions are free to be expressed, because there is no need for pretense; all you are faced with is just yourself. Set yourself free."

Alone - image from deviantart ~BlackCloudConnected

Break away.
Every needs a quiet time.

hi,鸡！

Dave.

I'll feed you, today.

fish. - image from deviantart ~tangerine-orangee

But if I want you by my side and to stay;
Never will I let you learn and go away.
I would be willing to feed you every single day.

but seems like it's time for me to stay away.

Dave.

unrestriction

"There are some things in life that shouldn't be traded, or taken away from you. Because, in my opinion, this, is essential."

Sense of freedom - image from deviantart ~CrushedSilence

Spaces. Everyone needs them. Very much more for me.

what about you?

Dave.

Information overload

"What appearing to be simple might really just be the tip of an iceberg. And when you do have the chance to peek onto the beyond, it might fancinate you much, but solely gaining the new knowledge alone makes you different from others, mentally.

You'll act differently, you'll plan ahead, you'll be paranoid and you'll grow weary of your surrounding; all because you know of something that shouldn't be revealed."

Bottomline: 不要太聪明。

Dave.

自导自演

"Sometime all we need are reminders and assurance that all of this ain't just a one time illusion."

你我距离就像打滑后的漂移

Dave.

My heart is alive..

Dave.

mind games

"Ever wondered why things we feared the most always turn into reality? Things we grasped the tightest always slip away? And, people whom you once thought you truly knew turns out to be just the opposite?"

Mind Games - image from deviantart ~endegor

Maybe, just maybe you let your mind ran loose.. a little too loose. =]

Dave.

Unchanging

"An indication that you didn't change might just be when you keep hearing the same phrase, from different people in your life. And I tell you, that feeling suck big time; 'coz all the while I've been trying to change that side of me."

Unchanging - image from deviantart ~GreyDaly

Dave.

broken pencil

"Like a pencil fallen on the ground, it already has it's internal length of lead broken into many pieces. No matter the sharpening, it will continue to break and discontinue to function at times you require it the most."

Dave.

We've still got time

"Would things be different if it happened at a slower pace? That would leave us all with more time to consider what we really want. Who is there to rush but ourselves?"

Go on. Fall slowly. We've still got time.
it's time you won.

Dave.

cold outside; warm inside

"Get in, get the job done. If it's screwed up, leave no emotions behind, and get out. You'll never see true colours till things finally happen."

thanks for hearing me out the other day.

everything seems so much clearer now.

i won't allow myself to draw circles.

断了的线

线能了解线的心情。一点也不好受。
可是最终，风筝应该属于在天空自由的飞，不该受到限制。
那种风筝是最快乐的。=]

Dave.

自私

"两年以过了，如果要我说学会了什么， 那一定是如何先照顾自己， 懂得自私。"

There's too many uncontrollable factors out there to leave you feeling wasted of your effort and time.
It's just foolish to be cruel to yourself.

Dave.

在雨中放风筝

你有尝试过在雨中放风筝吗？
那种会被雷电交叉时的意外，
是说不出的感觉。


Dave.

Zeal of a child

"I'm losing the excitement of like a child awaiting the arrival & departure of Santa; the 'inpatience' of ripping apart the presents under the tree first thing in the morning."

Is this a sign of self control or just plain dull?

Dave.

人心难测

Dave.

Dave.

passive attraction

"You could work your way against the odds and swim in the opposite direction. But what it is to come might have been pre-determined. You can run all you want, but it'll eventually catch up. Change what you can, leave the rest; to rest."

what's your depth of belief on this?

Dave.

provoke

"When you decide to step into a lion's den, be prepared to face the wrath of the owner. But weight the consequence all in all - is the territory worth the inevitable battle?"

Dave.

darkside

"Do you have a darkside? A side of you which differs greatly from the usual perspective people see of you. Do not attempt to reject that side of you; for we live in times where everyone hangs on to a mask. You'll never know - your darkside might just be your real true self. Don't lose your individuality."

as it approaches, things get hazy.
Dave.

Ocean of secret

"Depths that are inmeasurable.Intentions that are unpredictable. A secret world that is unveiled to the few, bluffer to the majority."

Dave.

Superficial

stay pure.
because that's where you glow.

Dave.

Starving yearn

"Deny someone a necessity and he'll grow hungry for it. To the point of desperation. Point is, we don't always identify out of what we really are in need of."

Attention? Love? Status? Wealth? Acknowledgment?
What's your hunger?

Dave.

push&pull

"ever wanted something so badly, but when it's finally presented right in front of you, the passion is just no longer the same? human nature never fails to amuse me."

3rd wisdom tooth extracted. 1 more to go.

Dave.

rememberme

Limit your sight from the greed above.

New Era

Guessed the time would eventually come when the old wave has to hit the land, dissipating slowly on the beach, whilst the band of new waves would took over where they left off; rolling down the same path once taken, with a choice of making either a greater or lesser impact of their predecessors.

well, what do we have here?

problems don't just disappear with a shut of the eye.
they don't dissolve into midair by sweeping it under the carpet.

but you're so much like me, avoiding
refusing to confront it,
rejecting the reality, and substitute it with your own.

Dave.

"when all else fails; pray."

-unknown.

the sudden loss could be so random, so caught off-guard that it leaves us stranded, helpless.
what could we really do? not much.
anything we could help? not really.

its during these moments that we turn off all logic, and trust in anything that could lead us to the light, even just a tiny silver of it.

Lyric

Iris - Goo Goo Dolls

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now


And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
Chorus

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am


And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

Chorus

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Chorus

I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
