carpe diem

seize the day....i heard this line once in my early 20's,  from a movie called Dead Poet Society... I remember one of my good friend, who loved the movie, keep quoting the line to me (I think he thought that i was as smart as him and also, like him, i really understood the meaning of the word,,,,boy was he ever so wrong....hehehe). But in reality i havent the faintest idea what the word ment.... I always thought that it ment catch the opportunity or make your decision now.... or something like that... but actually it never dawn to me what making decision is.... BUT THAT WAS THEN, I WAS YOUNG AND FOOLISH....


Now.. I'm old and (still) foolish... but i think i understand a bit what carpe diem means (and so i thought).  it's about me making meaning in my own life.... and i didin't figure this all by my foolish self... i got a big help from a friend.. who just seize her day.. making her own future...


I envy her and wish her the best of luck, hoping one day i got her nerve of still and seize my own day....


(gosh..i'm getting misty typing this.... so i guess i better stop, coz it will be weird crying in an internet cafe alone on a saturday nite....hehehe)

ah, it's very dangerous to spend your saturday nite alone in an internet cafe, you've never heard? hehehe...
we all have to seize the day! imagine how the day's gonna be...
but no worries, the future might not be as far and as scary as that. there's a lot more waiting for you! =)
