epilogue



Friday, February 12, 2010

I won't ever belittle any Korean band anymore, without fully appreciating their efforts. It is seriously hard to make it into their entertainment ring and even then, when you get into it, it's a dog eat dog world, far harsher than any other I've seen and their work is ten times as tiring as any other job. Can you imagine 72 hours, no sleep, no rests, only some small breaks in between, having to do hair and make-up, practice endlessly and still keep up a bright and cheery demeanour for the camera (-coughs- BEAST -coughs-)? I guess it was their choice and if its really too tiring, its their fault since it was their, but they did this for their own dreams and to make fans like me happy.

How many of us have actually been open about our real dreams and how many of us actively pursue that dream? Most of us have barely formulated dreams, hopes and aspirations. We let ourselves be crushed by a harsh curriculum that society believes leaves no room for creativity and we all have to follow this path to perfection. Yet I don't believe in this. I can bet that while you're reading this, you might have a Twitter or have heard of Twitter. If not, you'd know Youtube and its comments box. If you really aren't into such mainstream websites, you've probably entered a competition before that asks you to state why you're so-and-so's biggest fan. If you really haven't done any of those (I'm surprised you're even reading this), you've probably done an essay that has a word limit in school. If not, HELLO TAG BOXES?

If you haven't realized the common thing between all these listed examples, it's that they all have limits. There is even a limit to the amount of pictures you can post in a blog entry, although I've never tried testing the word limit of a blog entry. In any case, there is always a limit and like Twitter has said, constraint inspires creativity.

Even then, I don't really see students who are bogged down by the education system in my school. Really, we're not asking you to have no fun and all work, but you guys are seriously tipping it on the "too much fun" side sometimes. Then when results roll round, you guys cry like some shits because you don't get what you want and why? Because study dates were really just excuses to sit around and laugh with friends, that's why.

"Stop dwelling about the things in your past because there's a reason why they're not in your future."

Keep looking forward and anticipating the things ahead in life with a positive and cheerful mind. Stop sulking on what cannot be changed and dare to step forward, instead of always standing where you are and staring at the ink that has seeped deeply and permanently through paper.

Kind of like, once you look forward, don't ever look behind again.

The next time someone cries over not finishing their paper or not studying hard enough, I'm not even going to bother. This is the reason why I always seem so confident and unfazed, because like many experiments, one examination or test is not always enough to give accurate results. In any case, I believe that no one is stupid and intelligence comes in many various forms. It isn't only the people who study well or who are naturally gifted in academics that are the only brilliant ones.

Not that I respect the so-called 'athletes' from my school. I don't even know why I despise them so much, but I inherently do so.

IN ANY CASE. One of my favourite phrases lately. I want to learn Korean!

Kevin and Wooyoung are so cute! <333
