Stupidity

-

Stupidity in my book reference is consciously repeating the same mistake. That is my definition of stupid and stupidity. I for one am stupid now. I know, it's hardly Eureka!

The point of having a date is to get to know each other and to decide whether each other are compatible or not. And once that is established, the next step is to start a relationship. I got that chance and I got cold feet. I wanted to run. I wanted to hide. Just like a coward. Which YKW had said to me before and indeed I am in agreement with that.

I asked myself, if I am not ready for any kind of commitment, why did I date? I asked myself over and over again, to no answer. My ex-es had said to me, that people fall in love with me easily. I believe that is bullshit, but I am starting change my mind. I know I am not romantic. Seriously I am not, I am not the Casanova that could make any woman, man and child to love me but I guess, my good-natured behaviour sometimes can be easily misconstrued as otherwise. (I am not blowing my own horn, but I have been told that sometimes, I can be too nice to others). I once wrote that I wanted to change for myself, I wanted to learn from my past experiences, but why does my heart doesn’t want to?

“Wasting” one’s youth. That’s a theory from a good friend and it is purely because of that. We have our youth once in our lifetime, so why should we settle down so soon. I know being 31 is hardly youthful, but I guess, I’m still at my prime age. Okay, maybe not, just play along with me, okay? But on a serious note, I guess that is why I have not settled down yet. I am not ready to commit myself to one person. I’m greedy that’s why. And that is the price I have to pay… I think I will grow old alone without children of my own or god forbid lots of children from different mothers?!. Of course, I should not be so pessimistic about my life, so far, I like it the way it is.

Then again, the consequence of my actions reflects on others who loved me. I don’t know why I am like this, I suppose, I can be ignorant. The time has not dawn on me to settle down. That much I know. Why I don’t want to settle down, perhaps I feel youthful and not ready for commitment, or there are so many things I wanted to do before I do wanted to settle down. I know I can commit someday, but not now. I think after being in a long relationship and a short ‘rebound’ relationship, this heart of mine is scared. Speaking of which, remember my Passenger movie post? It says that commitment is scary, because commitment is real. It makes life becoming real. Not a plan or something you hoped for... Real. So I suppose that is what I am scared of. Realism. Real. The Real Deal.

This post is starting to sound gibberish to me. I’m talking out from my ass. But one thing for sure is that, although I wanted to change, thought of changing, but for now, I’m not ready for a change. Not ready to be real. Not ready for commitment. Not ready. Perhaps one day I will, perhaps not, but I don’t want anyone to be victims of my detachment from love. That is my main priority. I don’t play games, I don’t play with other people’s heart and that was never the intention.

I am a man full of insecurities. I am a man scorned of love. I am selfish, greedy, stupid, foolish, cowardly, …… And I don’t deserve to be loved. Yet.

I’m sorry. Until then, take care by avoiding men like me. Ciao!

Take one step at a time. Going out on a date is supposed to be fun. Dont think of commitment, think of it as getting to know each other and have fun. Dont let it scares you..

Dont think of commitment as a burden, its a thing that u willing to do without any hesitation..well maybe a little bit but when the time comes, with the right person u'll know.

Meanwhile, dont think too much. 31 is just a number.

That's a really good advice, I've got so far.... You're right.

Actually, my date gave me a gift which signifies a commitment and I got cold feet. I couldn't handle the pressure.

I broke under pressure....

Anonymous, you're right. That is why aku lebih baik berterus terang, when I know I cannot commit. I like my date and that is why I rather keep things clear...

Random Rant, Update?

-
I don't know why. Here I am at 2.34am drinking left over "teh tarik" from today's open house at my parents. And decided all of a sudden that I wanna write something on my long abandoned blog. I have been clicking on the links that I have at the left side of my blog and it seems that most people have already abandoned their blog, by either cancelling them or not updating them.  I suppose it seems that writing a blog is no longer appealing and cool to some.  There are some that are still strong writing their rants. I am merely speculating, that now media is so easily discover-able that people are afraid to be on the accidental spotlight.  There have been few instances that blogs got discovered by their thoughts and suddenly everyone hates the writer.  And perhaps, again speculating that people are afraid to really say what is on their mind.  Naming and shaming is kindda "in" thing.  Especially with the freedom people can do with Whatsapp.  Just link it, yo

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me Warning: This will be a long read. There are a lot of things in my mind which I wanted to express. Today is my birthday, and now I am three decades old. Time has travelled so fast in front of my eyes. And today, I look back my life and reflect my past. And will also discuss my years to come, insyaallah. First and Foremost, on the eve of my birthday was the Sixty Second DJ competition which ran align with the best 914. Best 914 is a singing contest where the contestants are selected from a radio show which they called in and sang with a minus one song. And now, yesterday they sang really really well and they sounded like professional singers. It's amazing that they are just singers who just sang along in the radio, for some they have been into a few singing contest. Then it was our turn. I was the fifth contestant, to go and face the crowd. It was nerve wreaking looking at what looks like about a thousand people watching you. I did what I can, and I did it wi

Tolerances and Compromises

-
I'm half angry and half sulking with my OH . Sometimes my OH have this ability to make me feel needy and clingy. Sometimes I feel that I'm always the one giving and giving, thus making me feel just like that. It is as if, I'm holding all my cards out for everyone to see for the sake of love. And I'm only making a great fool of myself. Where does that fine line starts or stop? Where would you draw the line from doing something for someone your love and doing anything and everything for someone you love? As days go by, sometimes I feel I'm doing the latter. I'm only writing my frustration here, not to belittle my beloved OH , I just need to release this anger that I am having at the moment. So what was this all about? Without elaborating too much on the matter, I asked to be together for one night and do what I wanted to do and then, I got a quick turn down. Purely because my OH don't feel like it. I've done my part of reluctance for the sake o
