Improbabilty vs. Impossibility

"The Royal Spanish Academy defines the word "impossible" as something that doesn't have the facilities or means to come to pass or succeed. And they define "improbable" as something implausible that isn't founded on prudent reason. Given the choice I prefer the improbable over the impossible. Like everyone does, I suppose. The improbable hurts less and leaves us with a glimmer of hope for something extraordinary. That David beat Goliath was improbable but it happened. An African-American living in the White House was improbable but it happened. That the "Band Rojo" ever would play together again was improbable but it happened. Nadal taking the number one spot from Federer, a journalist becoming a princess, the 12-1 win against Malta. Love, relationships, feelings they are not founded on logic or reason. That's why I don't want to talk about impossible love, bu improbable love. Because the improbable is by definition probable. That most certainly won't happen, can actually happen. And while there is a chance, half a chance in a billion, that it can actually happen it's worth a try." -- I got this from a Spanish soap that I happen to come across in youtube. Fortunately, it is subbed in english. These line got to me cause it just made sense. I've got nothing much to say cause it pretty much explained everything.

forgotten tissue paper rants

Tissue papers...table napkins...somehow they fill in the spot for my notebook when it's not handy...They serve as memoirs of my thoughts on that day on that particular time,usually whenever I am in the emo-kid-in-the-corner-writing kind of mood...or mostly because i got bored waiting for somebody... --i found two tissue papers in between pages of my pugad baboy comic book. And well...here it is... --> I was infatuated once. At first I thought it was LOVE, but in the end I realized that it was nowhere near to what love really is. Love is so complicated that there is no way anyone can really define what it is. Perhaps, because every love story is unique for everyone. An experience in which no one can really describe accurately with words. In a way, Love can make us believe in obvious lies and be blind from the truth.Mute,deaf and blind. In short, love can make us incapacitated. Love is too strong a word,equal to hate. But then again, hate is something we also learn from

Kokology ^^

Kokology... --Any one heard that before?If you haven't, this is what it means. _It is derived from the japanese word Kokoro which means mind or spirit affixed with the word -logy which we all know is derived from the word -logos which mean study. So it means it is the study of the human spirit. It is like a psychological game in which the player's answers reflects on their spirit or simply put it's a game of self-discovery. ---This is the study pioneered by Tadahiko Nagao and Isamu Saito,both professors at Rissho and Waseda Universities in Japan. They also published a series of books under the same name. It contains a series of quizzes that will lead you to discover your attitudes towards love,life,work,family and sex. And it often provide interesting and hilarious results to seemingly innocent questions. ----And true enough, when I bought a copy of it, it instantly became a hit with my friends. It is a great way to spice up your barkada bonding moments and of

Read, write, and be free :)

I am a writer. A frustrated one. I know, alot of people are. I'm just one of the millions out there who aspires to be a legitimate one. One who have books published and translated all over the world. One who had books lined up to be bestsellers in every release. One who had books turned into blockbuster movies. One who inspires others to write as well. One who can change other people's lives through their words. Alas, if only I could organize my thoughts turn them into beautiful poems or make them an intricate work of art, maybe I could be like my favorite authors. Brilliant and inspiring. ---I know, they too, didn't have it easy. They didn't conjure the story like magic. They too had what inspired them. They researched, they too suffered from writer's block. They too, like me, have to start from scratch. And to quote one of my favorite authors : "You have to resign yourself to the fact that you waste a lot of trees before you write anything you really li
