Momentary bliss

Being with Aishah really brings out the worst of the drama queen in me. And this is no joke. We both could really make some scenes worthy of a known play (someday) HAHA! It's all in the name of fun, teasing each other and acting all stupid or dumb or crazy or even pissed, and we give no shit to the surroundings. This sounds really gay but I like being dramatic with her. Today we met up since she has a day-off from her idea of a hell hole, Borders, and we played a silly game of vocabulary. Like I said something like, "Ey, why must you disregard me because of an ice-cream (that she's eating)" and she claimed that 'disregard' is a strong word. Yet, on another occasion, she said "Yeah, I'm trying to decode you" when you can easily say 'I'm trying to understand you' HAHAHA. And we bantered on and on like that, using the best of our vocabulary. Like, from unique to unusual to exquisite and so on so forth. We're on a roll man. LMAO. Effing fun.

Anyway we roamed around the city and decided to see what was going on at the Night Festival outside the National Museum. And there was this firework display and it was a moment of awe for us, I think it could have been the best firework display I've ever seen because it felt so close and real, and the approach to it was fascinating as there were shooting fireworks.

Tres cool!

And this 'falling' fire is really cool. The museum looks so alive.

Anything but ordinary

Sometimes I get so weird I even freak myself out I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullaby Sometimes I drive so fast Just to feel the danger I want to scream it makes me feel alive To walk within the lines Would make my life so boring I want to know that I have been to the extreme So knock me off my feet Come on now, give it to me Anything to make me feel alive Is it enough to love? Is it enough to breathe? Somebody rip my heart out And leave me here to bleed Is it enough to die? Somebody save my life I'd rather be anything but ordinary please I'd rather be anything but ordinary please Let down your defenses Use no common sense If you look, you will see That this world is a beautiful, accident Turbulent, succulent, opulent Permanent, no way I wanna taste it Don't wanna waste it away yeah, yeah Sometimes I get so weird I even freak myself out I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullaby I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Encounters

Oh who am I kidding? I wrote a post previously on the importance of mobility. But going further than that, it is the social encounters that make up the foundation of human experience living under this same canopy we call earth and sharing this home alongside others. To the first moment babies acquaint themselves with the world, having the first touch, hearing the sounds of a laughter, whimper, sigh, silent smile, and modelling on the external world to distinguish safety from danger, right from wrong, norms from exceptions. It is the everyday social experiences of walking out on the streets and seeing people doing their own thing - the mother reprimanding the child, the young man awkwardly fishing his pockets at the entrance of the bus, a fragile old woman taking her time to walk up the stairs, the sound of aggressive haggling at the market. And then there are those two close friends insisting they each want to pay the bill for the other, a group of boisterous teenagers disrupting your ...
