There are far more greater things beyond the what we normally see and usually, things that we take for granted are things that matter the most. This thought is only one of the many things that I have learned going in to UP.
For roughly the past decade and the half, I cannot count the number of opportunities missed for generation of knowledge, growth and maturity. As most of us do these days, the television set, the Internet, Facebook, and my PS2 have been my best friends. But more than outlets of boredom, leisure, frustration and fun, they serve as tools promoting procrastination. Moreover, these activities have deviated our vision to things such as the War on Gaza, the Global Financial Crisis, etc.
Well, I'm not going to be a hypocrite and say I'll stop doing all these things. Of course, I still will. I still want my XBOX 360 or PS3, I still will update my Facebook, and I still will and maybe always watch and play ball. The point is, these things should only be secondary to things that can actually benefit us in more ways that we think we can.
And this has been the reason for the creation of this blog site. For the past 2 years, I have had a number of reflections on concepts, issues (political, social, and even romantic), and even about petty things that I have put to waste. Words and concepts would just pop out of the seams of my brain, but I never bothered to write any of them. I have given it a thought and why not write these reflections and realizations down for future use. Moreover, this will also give me the chance to practice my writing skills, and organize my thoughts better.
As I reiterate the things I wrote on the "About this Site" segment on the upper right corner of this page, this has previously been a blog site about nothing but basketball. However, all though basketball has been a favorite sport of mine and has become a way of life in a sense, I must admit, the I know things are that merits more attention than 10 sweaty guys trying to put a ball in a basket.
It will not be a guarantee that I will have a post everyday, or even every week. I will fill this site up as far as the my schedule, my brain, and my will can go. The bottom line, things and ideas of mine will not be wasted if just bother to write them down here.
Vital information and knowledge are everywhere and are ours for the taking. It can take us only a couple of hours, and even minutes to reflect and extract the these significant things in the world, but it takes a couple of years, and several experiences to hone the skills needed to grasp these concepts. I'm starting my training now.
