For the tired body.

-Apparently there is a limit to how much physical punishment the body can take. I cannot for instance, stave off an encroaching flu bug while, doing a full body workout and work late hours at the same time. The fine balance doesn't call for a third weight.
-There is not much you can do if you're a workaholic who has been forced to stay at home, except get some much needed rest. Better one day at home than a week in the hospital, as a patient.
-Being a geek often means that you take up the responsibility of the knowledge you bear. This of course leads to the dependency from the uninformed and ignorant. The trick is not to wear yourself out when the simple hobby becomes a near obsession. Easier said than done when everyone seems to have problems all at once.
-Being sick has never taken my sense of taste away from me. I will still demand for good food, which is been a pain since I tend to cook for myself these days. Still, there is no better substitute for good food to pick you up especially when done right. I have my own beef stroganoff to testify to that.
-It's nice to know that regardless of what happens, encouraging words and someone willing to cover for you often works better than constant nagging advice and a critique that you need to do better. It's a choice we have to make on who we are willing to be around. It can mean the difference between a more optimistic mind and a much more tired body.

Home Alone on a Friday night.

I’m feel­ing over­stim­u­lated. This is the only night I’ve had alone for the last two weeks, and I haven’t caught up with Frank for the longest time.

Fridays nights always make me feel rest­less. I never ever want to do any­thing after a full day of work, and at the same time I want to be out. I feel so alone, yet I don’t feel lonely. Maybe I’m just too busy to feel anything. Or maybe I’m just get­ting used to the solitude.

It’s a self-imposed exile, so I can’t com­plain. There are so many things I could do, oppor­tu­ni­ties I could take, peo­ple I could see, but I never end up fol­low­ing through. Everything is so sta­ble and com­fort­able when I’m by myself.

July has been long and tiring.

-Sometimes all the past is exactly what it is. A part of your life that can never move on or change no matter how hard we all try. That's why in the end we always have to look forward to a future. Something you can create at least. Especially when it involves people you like a lot.
-I've just realized that Macs are like Alfa Romeos. It's not as good as it's advertised and it can be a little bit pricey. But it's very pretty and no one can ever call themselves a true geek until they've worked with a Mac at least once in their life.
-Rainy weather is possibly the worst weather to be particularly productive owing to the cold sleepy mood it always brings. This is particularly bad when you're trying to get your fair share of work done. Even worse when you're juggling more than one thing at a time.
-Entertaining your crush on a friend shouldn't precede the work you're meant to be doing, but if it snaps you out of a depressing jam that's in your way, then there is no shame in being the biggest flirt you always were.
-The whole purpose of bureaucratic administration isn't always to help you along. I'm beginning to believe that it's there like a giant obstacle where we have to duck and weave in order to prevent ourselves from chucked about. The only difference is, obstacle courses tend to give you rewards in return. Bureaucratic administration tends to give you a headache and the job you were supposed to do anyway.
