Demons!

it's only morning, yet i'm already heated up. some people just don't have even the slightest freaking idea as to how other people are doing. oblivious..or simply IGNORANT?have some conscience,people. it does you no harm to actually ask around, sympathize and empathize with the rest. i'm not angry, just annoyed. i can't blame you for being who you are, maybe you're born annoying. i mean..there are some people whom you can't help but feel like slapping their face the first time you met them.sounds kinda stupid, but look around..don't you agree?HOWEVER, my feeling annoyed has nothing to do with that immediate dislike or hatred.

i think you know what i'm babbling about.

anyway, speaking of demons, these creatures remind me of those people who would gladly suck your blood and feed on your self-destruction. they might not be the same kind as to what you have in mind, but well..just think about them in a similar way. they just love to see you break down to pieces.

i guess i'll just have to put a blind eye and a deaf ear to it.

angels and demons

okay.since i'm currently living in hell, i found out that there are only TWO types of creatures. Angels and Demons.

angels are those with a view that there's always a silver lining behind the clouds, or to look at the glass as half full.such optimism that makes people just want to kiss them. they are sometimes, or perhaps most of the time, your voice of reason. always asking you to have a positive outlook on life. no matter what the world throws in your face, you'll be able to battle it out. this type of creature becomes your strength, a shoulder to cry on et cetera.

another type of creature, the demons, are those who crash the very last bit of your pride and courage, even when you've already succumbed to life's cruel beatings. these demons would always try to make easy things hard, hard things harder, and continue until you tell them,"i give up"."i can't do this"."kill me". and they will gladly kill you. how? by rubbing it in your face, showing off what they have achieved when you are flailing and failing.

i don't know about you guys, but if you happen to meet both creatures, only befriend the former. it'll save your ass. trust me.

HELL

never, in my entire life, have i felt so vulnerable and lost. i never looked at myself as a weakling, never found an excuse to be one. always think that i'm a strong girl.but today..is a revelation. I can be WEAK. INSECURE. LOST..i even thought i'd die among piles and piles of work. maybe it's PMS. yeah..screw PMS!but a deeper thought shoved my hormonal dysfunction away. you can't always blame the hormones.

it feels like the world has come crashing down on me. why now?why everything starts now?i tried to divert the thoughts to something else.FOOD.KOREAN DRAMAS. it just doesn't work. i just wished i have a guardian angel, whispering words of courage and sweeping all the headaches away.but then, having a guardian angel next to you would only mean one thing. YOU'RE DEAD. And in heaven. this..is HELL

monkeys.. and the chance of getting bananas

In the deep jungle of Hatred, there lived a bunch of monkeys. having no leader(they have superiority complex), the monkeys live in vague trust and obvious greed, determined to outdo each other at any chance of getting bananas. so one fine day...one of the younger monkeys decided to challenge the older monkeys for some big, juicy bananas. the older monkeys laughed histerically at the silly thought of the young monkey. "you don't even know how to climb the tree,"said one old monkey. "you can't even bite hard enough into the fruit," said another.

all hurt and angered, the young monkey turned and walked away from the old crowd, only to devise a revenge plan.

to be continued
