day 3 and still going...
i flirted with the idea of walking to and from work. i entertained that idea on monday. yesterday was my third day continuing this at-first-glance-whimsical-idea of challenging myself.

the path has become familiar to me---i can always expect some elders meditating and sitting in that one yoga position, playing chinese opera music in the background. i can feel my calves calling for a massage whenever i reach three-quarters of the uphill climb. i can take scenic routes when i know i did not dilly dally in the morning. sometimes familiarity comes so easily. or am i just giving "it" and myself the chance to adjust? our willpower gives us so much potential to conquer so many big dreams, but how do we know we can succeed when we are only man? when it comes down to it, what i make in my own mind is what i put my faith into---just to prove to myself that what i believe is correct...

today i broke that walking trek and drove. i have a good excuse. i'm going to a sg progressive dinner after work down by the pier; i don't want to be late and i need a means to get there. *smile* but seeing her sparkle in the distant light made my heart beat faster. she has never been so incredibly beautiful in my eyes. both inside and out...i have never yearned for more attention than now. it's as if all of a sudden, something that has been nice has become, surprisingly, a gift.... maybe it's true, i have been missing out...maybe there's more hidden treasures to be uncovered?...timing is everything.
