When the Moon Shines its Brightest

Yesterday was the 'Mid-Autumn festival'. A day every year (according to the Chinese lunar calender), when the moon is at its highest and most brilliant, the people of the 'descendants of the dragon' will celebrate the mid-autumn's festival. I have really no recollection of how it all started. I think the formula went something like this.. 

 +  = 

The full moon + pretty girl (who tried to save the world by downing some elixir of life potion) flies to the moon. I'm not sure how the Mooncake came into the picture.. Or lanterns.. Maybe the first mooncake was a moon inspired meat bun. Anyways, every year since, children will want to carry around paper lanterns everywhere. I can still recall how flammable these things are. The devastation that i felt after mine went up in flames once..  

Childhood memories are everlasting .. Adults can experiment too.. Grins

Focused Writing or Fleeting writing style.. Laying down rules

While this log starts. Perhaps its a good thing to think it through abit more. Should a daily entry be topic based or not..

 

The pros for a focused writing is definitely depth. I guess the con here would be the choice of what to spend my time thinking about. 

On the other hand wouldn't it be nice to just list down everything morsel of interesting things that i come across. But wow why limit myself to a choice at all i can vary my style like the chameleon i was thinking of writing about or the octopus which i thought was a better choice a few seconds later. A few top choices would be a good compromise but such is a cowards way out of not making a choice at all. 

I guess maybe being a Pisces really means a pair of fishes swimming in an endless Yin Yang circle. Maybe the west has invented this famous taoist symbol ages ago (just that they have never realized it is the same thing)..

Self Awareness

An article I have just read talked about this http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/09/100916145047.htm and it just struck me as a topic which is quite interesting. People might be introspective due to their brains being different.

Well.. Just how much does thinking about how you think help a person change for the better? Does self help books work? Things like smiling will force your brain to make you feel happy. I guess some things really do make sense. (nuts. what if its a crooked smile.. should i..?)

Wow. I have always looked at my goofball friends and thought wow. Seems a life of carefree happiness. Funny enough, some of these people who i always feel have powerful magnetic personalities actually reveal that they do think very deeply about things they say before any words actually leave their mouths.

How about i spend 20 minutes each day doing nothing but observing people and noting down what i learn here.. That would be rather interesting experiment.

Ok set.

Like Jake Sully

With much guilt, a vacation took,

after a relook, it seemed only too good.

With twenty and five days remaining,

Twenty ten seemed quickly abating.

Okay, perhaps its too corny my poetry writing,

but then again, this is my first since long awaiting.

Today, Friday was spent watching,

a spoof of vampires of bloods and much sucking.

I have decided like many times before to log my memories,

and such as this a brief frivolity.

Like Jake Sully, i shall log it neatly..

Such a quicky this i will endeavor daily (or weekly).

Too much I want to do but like many success stories,

Just focus on one at a time and pray this will stop my life's crazies.
