Oranges? Anyone?

"Just when I thought that I was out they pull me back in..."
Michael Corleone

Are we really that resistant to change? Even when our mind and body is conditioned for change, situations happen that force us to face and ultimately (for me..) embrace the status quo.

That sucks.

But then again, we are given the choice to turn our back to the tried and tested. But what do we do? We keep running back to it. Embrace it. Nurture it. Cradle it. And never let it go.

Anyway, despite my futile attempts to make things right, some changes has happened;

1. The Russian Roulette (my red car) retired. One big sign is when the pedicab starts overtaking you in the streets. Now I have the Great White Hope (not temporarilly I wish...);

2. I'm not that short tempered anymore. More serene. I take everything with a grain of salt now. I feel like Caine from Kung Fu. Short of walking the earth...;

3. Been stepping up my work 300%. I have to since the competition is hell bent on going up against me toe to toe. And to think there's around five of them versus one of me...

I'm just waiting for the time when I'll be level headed enough to work out my life. I've been jumping from situation to situation just for the rush and exhilaration it gives. Change number two is one small step towards it but who knows when it'll last?
