For most of this year, I have simply gotten tired of writing - be it office reports, research papers, even personal organizers and post it notes. I do not know why writing suddenly became such a tiring task. I did not blog because there was nothing to write about. But looking back, this year has actually been an eventful one.
Did I unconsciously opt for the ultimate silence? Have I finally drowned and lost the madness?
I remember F.Scott Fitzgerald's famous line:
"All good writing is like swimming underwater and holding your breath."
Perhaps I should try writing without drowning myself...be it in ink, emotions, or lack thereof.
With this realization, I am changing the blog's title to SETTLING SCORES - a more neutral and reconciliatory tone - from the former title Mad Living. It will still be ala-mad living style, but it's the kind that, hopefully, always settles scores in the end.

this is one hopeful note, an ode we make to the life that we live, which in part is constituted by certain matters of the heart...
we always try to escape jan... yet sometimes even without us knowing it, we are drawn to the waters, and when we realize we are getting deep we swim back, swim fast as we can to reach the shore...
and everytime we thought we've escaped certain imminent tragedies, our heart is still trembling, as if it is still there, in those scary waters, thriving.
yet still we hope, that someday soon we will know how it is not to be afraid of treading in deep blue waters.
