TRANCE

I fell in love with trance music. It's the purity of the moment that attracts me. My future has been my present for too long. I need the thought of no thoughts. I need to be with the moment. I need to be.

Revelations from the best summer ever:

1. We are so low on the food chain that we are not even on it.

2. Investment banking pays well, but they squeeze every single drop out of you. In the end, you can decide for yourself whether the juice is worth the squeeze. I don't think so, but hey, at least you can say that you are a banker right?

3. I wanna be a doctor! Yay! For the first time in my life, I actually know what I wanna do. And I wanna stay in the States for my MD/MPH. It was a huge decision for me to make and this time I am very serious about it. I was only fucking around for the past 21 years--- no one has ever seen me being absolutely committed to one thing. So watch out world.

4. It's more fun to be moderately tipsy than drunk, unless you wanna make a fool out of yourself which can be relieving at times.

5. Hookah can take a toll on your throat.

6. College friends know who you are and high-school friends know why you are who you are.

7. Cats can make decent pets too. (But I am still a dog-person.)

8. You can tell a person is more of a Bostonian than a New Yorker if he/she says, "I am taking the green line."

9. God! New York is so expensive and I am so poor.

10. The AC is prolly one of the best inventions ever.

11. The Chinatown in Manhanttan IS China.

12. Shit can happen to your body for no reason. Hence, there is no reason for you to do any more shit to your body than necessary.

13. I really am a New England prep at heart with a slight-down-to-earth-upstate-newyork-hippie twist. (How I found that out... Don't ask.)

14. The Dixie Chicks are pretty good.

15. Tarot cards are pretty damn intriguing... And I am a knight of the pentacle.

"SUMMER IN NYC"

Summer in chinatown is like wrapping yourself in a latex.
Steaming hot and constantly surrounded by Gucci and "L"olex.
Think-accented immigrants offer luxury goods of all make.
Too bad they are all fake.
And there is the clubbing scene,
Guaranteeing something you have never seen.
Music and liquor are such a good mix.
A lil' bit of dirty dancing gives it more kicks.
Reality finally hits,
Forcing you into fits.
You realize that money empowers and corrupts.
But hey, at least passion erupts.
I still find it strange
How quicky some people change.
Ultimately, it's people who perform constant introspection,
Who stand a chance in fighting off corruption.
I know... I know... feeling poor and broke constantly right?
What about selling your decency tonite?
I would if I were from the hood.
What's wrong with trading your soul for some soul food?
Having met people from all walks of life,
I realized which type is worth the dive.
It's so much more than giving high fives.
In the end, it's really about the vibe.
Oh well, people, people, people.
So complicated and never simple.
They are really really interesting,
But never stop being frustrating.

Semster finally done. Junior Spring over.
One more year. Then a college degree.
Quick hugs. Hasty good-byes. Coffee breaks.
Phone call farewells. And off ppl go.
In all directions. Towards different places.
So hectic. So in haste. So helpless.
Less sentimental now. Even for ppl who I will never see.
Part of life, eh? What is it anyways?
So many things happened.
So sudden. So different. So fast.
No time to think about them. Don't understand anyways.
Been through so many changes.
Who's that person in that mirror?
Existential crisis? Who am I?
All those parties. Music. Beat. Liquor. Sweat. Heat.
Fun? Yeah. But sth is missing.
Mind, body and spirit.
One in all and all in one.
Hard to achieve, but gotta.
Need some distance.
From everything and everyone.
Somewhat empty but persistently jaded.
Can' t breathe. Running with the wind for too long.
Too social. What about anti-social?
Too many passions. What about comflicting passions?
Too many thoughts? What about the thought of no thought?

It takes worldly defeats to dwarf the pain of disappointments,

but it is through the pain of disappointments that one learns how to conquer worldly defeats.

While action may not always guarantee happiness,

there will be no happiness without action.
