Blog Updates

Bonsoir all!

"Its out with the old, in with the new. Goodbye clouds of grey, hello skies of blue..."

On this note, I shall introduce new updates and changes to my magnificent blog.

Blog Changes:

1. URL: Last year: "platinumdragon123" That's so 2009. Now, "my-dystopic-utopia". To summarise why I chose that url, it is impossible to live in a perfect world. But yet, I feel my world now to be rather awesome, hence the oxymoronic URL

2. Blog Template: Black is cool, but maybe a little boring. So, I brought it green. :)

3. I intend to do a check [once every 5 posts]. This check will be for content and reader sustainability. So, if I find the post lacking in content, I shall inject in more substance. If it is boring, pictures and videos.

4. Blog Title: Soliloquies on Life. My blog posts are related to life, in one way or another. So, its just my personal view and take on current news etc.

5. Pictures and Videos. I shall try to add more pictures and videos for the blog can get a little dry.

6. Font: Trebuchet is so much nicer, I just realised.

And lastly...

7. COLLABORATIONS!!!! :D

For the first time, I have decided to test out doing combined blog posts. The first one would be entitled 'THE FINE LINE'. Cool eh? Stay tuned then.

Well, that's about it. If you have any suggestions you would like to make, leave a comment or drop a tag. It would be greatly appreciated.

Height Issues

I write this post to address certain issues.

Height Issues, to be exact.

I CAN SEE YOU LAUGHING/SMIRKING/GRINNING.

I am not here to wallow in self pity and describe myself so horribly just to elicit a little sympathy from you. I dont need sympathy.

Everyone's imperfect. We all have flaws. We try to conceal them and sometimes, we fail. So, why not live with it. And see these in an optimistic light.

And sometimes, if you are feeling really crestfallen and devoid of hope, listen to some good music, those which makes you hyper. Alternatively, scream. It always feels better after a scream. Call a friend with the same problem, scream together (: That makes things fun!

And if people start poking fun at you, its always good to have a little sarcastic remarks up your sleeves (: Or, constantly walk with your friends, I always believed in strength in numbers, someone insults you, your entire gang goes "BOO YOU _____" (:

So, this is my little self motivation post. Im not going to post on CNY, because Im sure no one here is interested. But, a little highlights

1. I CARRIED A BABY!!!!!!!!
2. I polished off an entire box of love letters.
3. I accidentally intruded on a breastfeeding session -.-

On a side note, I think I shall watch "My New BFF" (: Looks quite cool.

COMMENT!

How do you deal with flaws?

Hypothesis

Happy Early Chinese New Year!!!!!

This is a random blog post with little substance. But still, I felt like posting it :)


As we all know, music transcends all boundaries, past all religions, ethnicities, cultures etc.

Hence, my hypothesis is "If Lady Gaga existed in the 18th, 19th, 20th century, no war would have broken out."

BRILLIANT HYPOTHESIS. SOMEONE JOIN ME TO DO A CAT. 1 PROJECT

Lady Gaga has strong fan bases in Germany, China etc. If she was present then, perhaps no war would have broken out. People would be sharing the same passion for her wonderful music and fashion sense etc.

And nationalist, militarist, imperialist ambitions would all dissolve as they are too enraptured by this goddess's charm.

I dare say Hitler would be too mesmerized.

So, any weird hypothesis of yours you want to share? (:

Mood Swings

There are many things one wish he/she could exterminate from this word. Culture for instance.

Likewise, there are many things I am unhappy with in this world. But I shall concentrate on a particular thing I dislike. Mood Swings.



Mood Swings: A common occurence during a women's pre-menstrual syndrome, or more commonly known as PMS. Also, after one has experienced a rough side of life, people tend to get moody and pessimistic.

I myself have suffered from mood swings before. A rather horrible experience, I must say. It affects you and people around you. I recall my primary school days.

I sat beside this girl who at certain days of the month, turned extremely titchy and irritable. I shant delve into the details. I just want to say mood swings not only affect you but also others.

I suggest one talk to friends when you experience mood swings, and try listening to some good music. E.G. Lady Gaga.

Well, this post is quite useless I must say. But, my ultimate point is be happy :) Smiles are better than frowns.

.

I believe everyone is a complex individual.

I am too.

Its quite surprising actually, seeing people in different moods. Take me for instance, I am crazy when I hang out with my friends. Maybe its because we all belong to the same social clique and have many things in common, thus clicking on well. I dont know.

However, I realised. Without friends, I am silent and reserved. I am no longer that boisterous, noisy hyperactive kid. When I am alone, I start getting reflective. I brood over daily stuff, realised how much I have procrastinated, how lucky I was and most of the time, these time spent by myself get me feeling 'emo'.

Well, I dont know why I am writing such a post. I just want to say, do not judge people by what they appear to be. It is inevitable to do so but just try. You dont want to be misunderstood, do you?

Friendship

Recently, many have done a post on CAMARADERIE after the incident in class.

Well, I am going to do so to. But before you close this tab, thinking mine will be the same as others, think twice, for I am going to prove you wrong. :)

I recall this quote

"Your best friend will become your worst enemy"

There is no reason explaining love or hate. Its just this feeling within you that attracts/distances you from the other person.

I 'fondly' recall my primary school days, I used to have this great friend. But this bond melted away somewhere in Primary 6 and morphed into this wave of seething hatred.

Our rivalry was infamous I must say. I would scream when I realise I won him in a test and do all sorts of mean things. But thats the past. Now, I have put the past behind me and that guy is no longer a problem.

Friends are essential, they make life fun, they empathise.

I am unable to imagine a world without Hui Ming, Grady and Ryan. Well, this sounds wrong but we have all made influences in each other's lifes and I certainly hope this friendship will last till the day we die :)

Of course, in reality, no friendship comes without a little squabble.

But still, cherish the present :) For it is an unpredictable future.
