i know i stand in line...

hi...
where's everyone been? too busy to post? what's happening this weekend? i'm DO tmr.. won't be fun.
anyway i just completed all my lessons for driving at ssdc.. got to book my test date. 23 march. pretty far away but at least something has been settled.

there is a distinct difference between students and the working class. students, or students to be, seem to have alot more energy and motivation. also ambition. something that makes them glow when they go out. when they ride the train home. when they eat. sleep. when they speak. the energy and enthusiasm is there. The working class on the other hand seem to have lost that glow. they look perpetually bored as they watch the trees fly by on the mrt. they sigh at pre-planned intervals, making the annoying noise resound through the carriages. their eyes have lost its fire. they are so tired all the time. they keep looking at their watches.

i'd hate to be like them. but somehow it's inevitable. there's this invisible line that we will all just unknowingly cross. i want to be free, like the times where you have this sudden feeling of invincibility. you spread your arms out and embrace the wind, thinking to yourself that you could do anything, be anyone. you feel that life is actually a very simple thing to live.

maybe that's why they call it the real world.


"i know i stand in line until you think you have the time to spend an evening with me, and if we go someplace to dance I know that there's a chance you won't be leaving with me."
- here's to you, have a safe trip, goodbye.
