A promising final quarter of the year
Why so?
I applied for leave at work for a problem-free gestation and I'm expecting a lot of self-rediscovery and more quality time with the familial unit. I remember creating this blog after I gave birth to my eldest son and after self-studying html and css during my unemployed, pregnant period.
I deliberately immersed myself on those things because I was getting anxious after being diagnosed with pre-eclampsia during my final trimester. After reading medical journal articles about the condition, I was in some self-inflicted morbid-neurotic phase. So I decided to avoid any negative material and began watching the food network nonstop and reading the fictional "What to expect when you're expecting." And playing gold miner on myspace.
In many ways, I'm very lucky. Lucky to afford getting off from work for a span of time. I suppose we get by because our lifestyle is somewhat salt of the earth. Meaning, my husband and I are boring, kill-joy people who like to be left alone, therefore, we spend very little outside the basic necessities.
--------
The moments in my life when I've been most creative were those calm, nirvana-like periods bordering on bored-to-death. That's why I've been gravitating towards a bucolic, rustic environment and lifestyle. A la Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis. Wouldn't it be nice to be surrounded by vegetation and fresh air....with the absence of malls. Just small cottage industries.
--------
Man, in his quest for development, now realizes he was better off prior to the discovery of electricity and the industrial revolution. Look at the Amish people. They're okay, right? I mean, who makes their own bread from scratch these days? Maybe people from rural Italy or Cyprus. In rural Philippines, people survive with little money as long as there's fish, vegetables and water around.
--------
It's impractical to be a small fish trying to fit into a crowded fish bowl. You'll suffocate. Fish kill. You're better off as a small fish in the ocean. Yeah, you're bound to be prey to some other fish, but you'd die happy and stress free.
I have to quit all these morbid themes.
