Flashbacks

October 22nd, 2009 — 12:33am

For over 3 years now I have got myself into the habit of not regretting my actions. I make myself believe that there IS a positive side to everything — however negative the consequences may seem. And when there’s too much to handle, I turn my back away on chunks of the incident to focus on every detail separately — counting for a better learning experience.

For over 3 weeks now, I have been getting flashbacks of my accident. The moment I drifted off. The moment I smashed head-first into the water. The blackout. The moment I realized I’m still alive. The moment I realized I’m about to drown, and I need to get out asap. The very few, tetra-fast moments I found myself unconsciously fighting for my life.. and it happens all the time. During lectures, tutorials. When I’m having a laugh with friends. When I’m discussing things seriously. I just drift off to a world of my own, and see it all over again. And it’s not something I have ANY control over! It’s painful. Not being able to control what I think of this often, especially when it’s really bothering me.

After all the thought, I couldn’t help but wonder how would things have changed if the accident never happened. If the moron had decided to stay home. If I had decided to stay home. If I were a few minutes early/late. Do flashbacks make us regret some of our decisions? Why the hell can’t I just forget how it all happened!

Hemingway Reloaded

October 13th, 2009 — 5:27pm

For some time now I haven’t been totally pleased with the way my blog was being dressed. So, just like anyone else, I headed over to WP’s theme directory looking for a new theme.

I browsed around most popular themes, newly added themes, then kept on cruising around until I realized I was simply looking for a very minimal theme — one that emphasizes the content rather than itself. After checking out more than 50 themes, I realized that Hemingway Reloaded (my version) is simply the best theme there is for me. Sleek, clean, and most importantly emphasizes the content just like I want it to.

So here, Hemingway is back.
