Ingredients..

Taste is one of the few things that can never be duplicated, not 100% atleast. Its got a touch, of personality and ambience, metaphorically speaking, friends are like restaurants we keep going back to, to feel a series & sets of emotions that we enjoyed and will keep enjoying for the years to come. Just like we miss a restaurant that we might have stopped going to, we'll miss the friends we've left behind or who have moved away in this roller coaster ride with call life.

Friends being restaurants, the cuisine would be their habits and the things we did with them, with relevance to type of activities. My closest friend and I, since we've met, we've bought been through a lot together, but forever we've been laughing through it all, for it became habit to take everything with a stint of humour and laugh at things no matter how bad they were as they come & go. From joy riding to wasting time doing nothing, we both were up to speed with how the other felt & enjoyed where ever we ended up.

Cuisine being habits, manners & tempermental tendencies, dishes conjuered by a restaurant, metophorically speaking would be the moments you've shared with ur respectful friend or friends. Whatever dish you've been served, good or bad, joyful or sad, its something that lingers in rememberance, reincarnated by nostalgia and would have probably forever scared you. Its how one becomes stronger, learns from his or her mistakes and comprehends decision making for the rest of their lives.

And lastly, dishes being the moments, the ingredients would play the role of the morals. Every individual has different morals, comes from different sources, from the extent of religious beliefs to the simplicity of having read about traits in a book, all in all, we all have different limits to our conscience and extents to our withstanding of guilt, some of us cannot lie to even a random person & some just cant stop making up facts in an attempt to achieve something as irrelevant as attention, whatever the case, the morals, or ingredients define our own respectful, individual opinion of the restaurant itself. Some restaurants maybe too spicy for us, some friends maybe too daring, but then again excess spice and being fearless might just be what your looking for innit? =)

Well, you get my drift..

So lets step into as many restaurants as possible, be a little brave with the cuisine, enjoy delectable dishes and appreciate the ingredients used, that would probably end you up with quite a few priceless friendships.. but then again.. what do i know? =D

Comments appreciated..

The Slow Pretty Part..

9:17 AM 1/14/2008

There was this one song i was listening to.. and twas live so.. when it comes to the bridge of the song.. the dood says, "This is the slow pretty part". I kinda had to listen to that part more than once to kinda enjoi it and more importantly just to suffice something inside me.

Anyway, this whole uni thing, staying up late whether to complete assignments or smoke crack, trying to be focused, the trying to be responsible, striving for the most, hooking up or watever it is you do, this is the slow pretty part in our lives. Although, we only going to see it as "pretty" when we rewind and look back at it all later on, for now, its a mini-hell which we are quite literally fighting to just survive!

When we were lil, the sky was the limit, and the world was our play ground, fear was not a feeling we understood so we did it all, but things have changed now that we've passed a number of birthdays, met different people who spoke to us about different experiences, read books and newspapers which forced our minds to think in a more society entertaining manner and shaped the way we would approached a situation. Basically, when we were kids, we were the beginning of any song worth listening to.. very, in your face, and from the heart! Lies were only told white, if we told someone we loved them, it wasnt for money or lust.. it was cos we really really did! =)

Later on, or rather quite soon, we going to reach the end of our song. Its going to be the conclusion, our conclusion rather, significant and containing a lot of substance, but not worth much for its soon going to fade away into silence. Although, let not the fact that the inevitable silence makes our long term future important, cos whatever our ending sounds like, it sets the mood and tone for the next song, the next generation.

So lets enjoy our "slow pretty" parts, take a deep breath everytime we think we losing it & achieve as much as we can, cos the next time you listening to the slow pretty part, you dont want to be sigh'ing and groaning, and trust me, the crappier you make this part, the more they going to be playing it! =D

Im off..
Cya later.. salams..
