It's odd how the simple things are what you crave and what feel so good - like microwave waffles with sugary, maple syrup or a plain bagel with original cream cheese. Straightforward and unadorned, it doesn't need to try too hard, because it is just exactly what it is, and it feels so good. Why can't people be quite that way?

Shoes, shoes, SHOES!
Hi.
So I realized that since my life is still in a bit of a state of upheaval, I won't be quite as dedicated to writing as I'd like. That sort of stability allows me to think of other things aside from the constant "what am I doing with my life" dilemma that goes rampaging through my head all the time. I have a plan for plans, but we'll see how it goes. The fact that I have a goal I'm working towards definitely helps, but of course nothing likes to go smoothly for me (I'm often just plain surprised when most things happen). So to avoid the process of updating my resume after a meeting I had today, I shall willfully distract myself writing about a constant joy, vice, and passion in my life: Shoes. ^_^

A Glaciated Psyche
Hi.
And that's all folks! Haha... just kidding. I'm actually back - I think. No wait... I'm back ^_^. But really, I'm back home. It's been a really tense last few weeks. So every so often when I'd check back on Eclipsed and see all the page views, I felt a little bubble of joy that people were checking back, whether it was for the song on repeat or just to see if I had posted. Now, to make up for my lack of posting almost this entire month, I have a loooong post for you today, with several songs to along with your reading (please forgive any errors, it was a long one to write and edit). Just as a warning, it is a long post, but I hope that you'll keep reading to the end (no matter how many attempts it takes =D)! I think I'm probably collapsing several posts into one here, but since it's been a few weeks since my last legitimate post, it'll be worth it ^_^.
I realized that the fact that I'm at home makes it seem like what happened over Thanksgiving may just happen again (the whole I will post, but never actually posting). But I have hopes that it won't. For unlike over Thanksgiving break, not only I am back home for longer than a week, I also don't have to do 3 loads of laundry, make an elaborate meal, sleep entire days to recover from classes, or really any of the general chaos that usually happens when I'm back at home for a week.
The only unfortunate fact of this "break" back home is that I have to re-assimilate my entire wardrobe and life into my room at home... And with the number of shoes I've accumulated over the past 2 years, it's most definitely going to be a daunting task. I don't think I quite understood the challenge until I realized that my mother's shoes are EVERYWHERE. Literally: they're on all the shelves, all over the floor, in every closet, even in the guest bedroom! Ok, so side track - I will most definitely love talking about shoes at another time, after all I'm quite addicted. But I already planned for this to be a lengthy post, so I should stop this tangent... Right... about... now. ^_^
So back to my earlier point. Being at home now is most definitely not going to prevent me from posting, simply because I won't be worked to the bone quite like before. Though I'll have to somehow manage to return to the mentality of "working" at home. Given that college was out of town, I built a connection between home and not-working. So now I need to revert to my high-school days where I actually did work at home (the little that I needed to do), to gear up and get the rest of my life in order. Like my mother famously loves to tell me, "The future is here now. You're already late." Not quite the motivational line, but it definitely gets the point across. As does the reminder of the financial burden I place on my parents (they're only getting older, the retirement funds are being used). Their constant complaint: why can't I at least get into a graduate program of some sort or even a job to relieve the burden of their worries for my future just a bit? But recently, the largest obstacle I need to overcome, to move on with my life, is the past (cliche I know >.>).

A Quick Scratch
Hi.
So sorry for the lack of posting. And also for the fact that this is just an update, especially to those people who are checking for my next lengthy rant about something random. It's exam time and I have to move out soon, so until all this shit gets sorted out, I probably won't have the concentration or the time to write a blog post (Trust me, I want to. I have a few posts in the bank waiting to be written, with titles and even songs to go with them).
So until then I shall be updating the song on repeat (this is a time when it becomes a song on repeat for several days at a time), and trying to get my life going the way I'd hopefully like it to... or at least just trying to survive.
Till then...

Celtic Fever
Hi.
Every once in a while, I encounter a longing for something that amazes me and boggles my mind. Something mystic and foreign, that somehow resonates with me - something quite like a Celtic Dream (this link is the song to read the post with ^_^).

Why, it's elementary
Hi.
December 16th. It is coming. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows will be in theaters! I cannot even start to explain how excited I am for this movie to come out.
But before I delve into my raving rants on how much I adore Sherlock Holmes, I would like to thank all of the people who have been reading my blog till now. It means a lot to me that I already have 4 official followers and 700 page views! So I'd like to thank you all for your time and for reading my random thoughts and musings on some of the most odd-ball subjects ^_^.
And now, shall we return to the subject at hand? I do believe I will proceed in such a manner. But before I do, a song to inspire you through this post: http://www.youtube.com/watchv=rpBHn6RfY0k&feature=channel_video_title (I suggest you listen to it as you read, and when I say suggest, I mean that you absolutely must ^_^)

Btw... Why are there yams sitting there?
Hi
What is normal? How do you define it? What would you call normal? The dictionary definition is as follows:
nor·mal/ˈnôrməl/
Even within the recorded definition, there is no definition of what is the standard, or what the usual is. The meaning must then lie in the connotation. In other words, the meaning varies on not only the use of the word, but on the person using the word. So why is it that the general public clings to the idea of normalcy? Not consistency, but normalcy. Consistency I can see, with ever changing lives, the constant is what we embrace. On the other hand, the idea of normal does not. It merely re-establishes the idea of you are different, therefore, you are worthless - you are weird (and in the case of the cold war, it meant you were the enemy).
Weird. What is it about the word that sends most people running in the opposite direction or cowering from judgmental stares? Hasn't it been established that many famous and successful people were different from the "norm" - how else would they have managed to achieve more than all the ordinary folk? Must characteristics of the ability to exercise the frontal cortex of the brain be defined as abnormal? I always thought we should celebrate the ability to think on a higher level than neanderthals and airheads as a good thing... After all, weird is my normal.

Sentimental Inception
Hi.
So for those of you who thought I was going to talk about Inception the movie after reading the title... I'm sorry to say you will be disappointed. Though the fact did cross my mind that using 'inception' in a title would be super awesome... ^_^ Just remember that inception is an actual word with it's own meaning independent of the movie, a definition formed centuries preceding the inception of the movie - and no, it has nothing to do with messing with peoples dreams the way you want to. Now that I've clarified that point, onto the actual point of the post.
Over the past few weeks, I have found myself from time to time having taken back a step from my own life and casting my gaze towards the interactions of those around me: the ways people communicate strive to form connections with each other. Specifically, I notice the stumbling first steps into the wonderful world of romance.

Food coma - Part 2
Hi.
I do apologize for the lack of posting this past weekend. Here I thought it would be easy to write and post over the break while I was at home. However, circumstances prevented me from even writing down the recap of Thanksgiving dinner. So with the sincerest apologies for the lack of posts, I shall continue.
Up until now, I realize that most of my posts have dealt with my thoughts on different subjects, either just because I felt the urge to write of them, or due to events that are happening in my life at the time. But with this post, I plan on giving you an update on actual details of my life - Ok, so it might not be a big deal, but it is actually different from what I have been posting before... especially with the pictures ^_^

Hi.
So due to massive amounts of delicious food, I do not have it in me to write today. And let's not forget the Black Friday shopping that has been planned. So I am off to recover through sleep. Worry not, there will be an actual post tomorrow....
... But for now I sleep. Until then:

Homeward Bound
Hi.
To change things up a bit, I am sharing this music at the start, in the hopes you will listen to it as you read this post:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab8FhRBwpEo
I'm home for Thanksgiving break today. It's the usual running errands for my mother, cleaning up the house, attending the functions just to spend time with family. I don't necessarily hate it - I mean I love being with my family. It's just that I look into the future when I do come home, as I try to figure out my life, and I don't think I'd be able to live more than just a few weeks at home like that. I've grown accustomed to living for myself, running my own household (apartment really): cooking, cleaning, socializing all on my own terms, at my own pace. It isn't about trying to live with people aside from myself. It is more about trying to merge my life as a dependent high-schooler with the person I am now: someone who has lived away from the home I grew up, building my own social network, getting to know the area I live.

Momentous Moments
Hi.
How do you decide the events in a life that define you and who you are? Do you know the minute they happen? Or do you look back on your experiences years later, and differentiate the memories that are the building blocks of your character? Is it just a moment or is does it span an entire week? Is it a connection you find with someone else? Or is it something that uncovers another facet of your own self?
Do they have to be life altering, mind blowing - mind boggling? Or can they be something simple - normal - everyday moments? Do they fill you with a happiness that bubbles up and out of you, till your shouting it at the top of your lungs? Or do they bring out the deepest, darkest, draining, life-depleting feelings in the pit of your soul?
There is no way to plan them, no way to anticipate them. In fact, even if it is the biggest moment of your life, and you know it's coming - that it is going to be a defining moment - it will still creep up on you in ways you couldn't imagine. It replays in your mind as if it happened yesterday, for it is carved into your very essence. One can only hope that those moments are the ones that bring you joy.
To those life defining moments that you won't ever stop thinking about:

My Little Secrets
Hi.
Secrets. Privileged information. Confidential. Lies. Private - Keep OUT.
There are a lot of things people will do to maintain some semblance of privacy in our lives. I cherish the idea that that my life isn't an open book for anyone to read. But I've realized that I might not be as private a person as I thought.

Please, it's NERD not geek
Hi.
I am a NERD. I admit it.
Sometimes I'm a brainless twit. Sometimes I'm a dancing party maniac. And sometimes I'm psycho sugar addict. But I am ALWAYS a NERD.
But if I hear the word GEEK come out of your mouth, I will bitch slap you to Timbuktu. Why? Because I am a NERD. And to me, there's a world of difference between the two.

(Maybe not so) Short and Sweet
Hi.
My mind has just been so blank as to what to post today, and I blame the current Song on Repeat 11/17. I don't know what it is, but I've been listening to it non-stop, from when I went to sleep last night to making food, the entire night and day. And because of it, I can't seem to think of anything to write except this song. The saddest part is that I have at least 2 posts in the works in addition to the topics I have mentioned in other posts. In fact, I was even considering writing about my taste in music, but I realized it would be highly influenced by this song. So that plan was tossed out. But why this song? And why does it totally take over to the extent that I am drifting away in the melodies of the song that I could sit for days just listening to the song, my mind blank (which probably means I can add it to the list of music for those days when I just want to be alone and walk outside... maybe I'm in one of those moods now?). At first I couldn't explain it, but then I kind of figured a out just a bit.

My dear Mr. Quincy
Hi.
Just the other day I was perusing the home page on facebook, and I happened across an engagement picture album of one of my highschool classmates. Just looking at the photos, you could tell that those two really were happy with each other, that they were right for each other. And then it led me to thinking that a lot of the people I knew in highschool are engaged or already married even. So my train of thought brought me to think about my Mr. Right - my Mr. Quincy.

Just leave me be...
Hi.
So I realize it's been a few days since my last post, though if you've kept up with my previous posts, you would know it is from my birthday celebrations ^_^. So of course, I've been a little busy preparing for my party, recovering from said party, going out dancing, waiting for my family to visit, going out with family, hanging out watching movies, going to class, and finally salsa dancing! But amid all this celebrating and revelry, I found myself wanting to be alone.

Beans and Leaves
Hi!
Alright, so in all honesty right now, you'll have to forgive me if I seem a bit all over the place. I just had a cup of straight up coffee on an empty stomach, and the caffeine has hit me really hard... So onto the rest of the post before I crash! ^_^
Given that I just had coffee, I was thinking about all the natural plants and such that we obtain caffeine from, and how flavorful the things made from them can be. The obvious ones are cocoa beans, coffee beans, and tea leaves. As is obvious, you get chocolate, tea, and coffee ^_^. I have to say that I love all of them, and seek to indulge in them, little treats every once in a while.

Super Bowl. Here we go!
Hi.
The energy, the tension, the rivalries, the pounding heart beats. There is no sports game that can quite beat the excitement of a good Steelers game. What brings this up? The disappointing, yet high-adrenaline game played this past Sunday.

Sweep me Away
Hi.
Recently, I've found myself returning again to a certain query... Is it really that hard for a guy to sweep a girl off her feet? And of course, I've been considering it as it applies to myself.

Dance. Dance, I miss you.
Hi.
I miss it. I miss dancing.
In my previous post I mentioned how sleeping was one of my respites from the world. And dancing is the respite of respites. The rush of adrenaline from physically exerting oneself, the flow of the music, how it takes over your body, leaving your mind blank of all but the movements of your body. And I fell in love with it at the age of four.
Alright, maybe I didn't fall in love with it then (I was probably more awed), but I have definitely come to love it, as it has become an integral part of my identity.
I miss it. I miss dancing.

Good morning! It's 3pm
Hi.
To the chagrin of those who know me, I often am a mix of a vampire and a sleep-a-holic. Yes, you often find me up till early hours of the morning or sleeping in through most of the day. However, to my chagrin, their opinions are usually based on the few moments where my sleeping has prevented me from getting to a practice on time or missing a meeting entirely. To be honest, it doesn't happen like that most of the time.

The Catalytic Push
Hi.
I realized I'm bad at starting these posts off for now, so for now a simple Hi will have to suffice. ^_^
I swear that I've checked my blog about a billion times today just to look at my layout. Sure it might not be a big deal, but I look at it just say, "damn, that looks good." Though really what saddens me is that there's only one post (I can't wait to have that huge archive of posts). So, due to a combination of excitement, posts bouncing around in my head, and my secret hope that many people will read my (I hope intriguing) blog, I give you the second post.

Hello. Goodbye?
Hi.
I have been having trouble figuring out just quite how to introduce myself, and I still haven't quite figured out how to go about it.
So, hi.
It's how you meet new people; it's how you greet them. But even that little word requires the courage to stand up and shake someone's hand. The first look, the first touch, the first interaction - it's all said in that first greeting. Do you meet their gaze? Do you grip their hand like it's a life line? Do you smile or just tilt your head off to the side? There are many ways to say hello, but in the end, not much has to do with what you say. It's how you say it with your entire being.
