Dilemma

“To be or not to be that is the question”  - I guess Shakespear captured in those few words how many people feel each day.

Life is a constant struggle to make the right and relevant choices. To think about the permutation of things, there are more than a million or even a billion ways on how we can define our lives by making choices. Every day we are bombarded with hundreds of them, while other choices seem simple and mundane, some are life changing and difficult. However, what’s more interesting is while some decisions which seem easy for some are very tough and difficult for others, vice versa. In a world which is full of differences, this idea is very different indeed.

As a very technical person, I grew up in a school of thought wherein decisions should be based on logical reasoning on how things would behave, respond, act or react to certain impulses or events. I was also raised to the law that deep reasoning should be put in place to come up with a theory and conclusion – “Reasoning far ahead for the outcome without still even seeing the end result.”  But this seems impractical for real life since this school of thought was founded on experiments and observations of things already proven.  How would this be applicable to my life, has anyone done experiments on it. Does anybody have a wild theory or even a hypothesis on how my life will go?

Given this in mind, I am now in a crossroads wherein I should decide where to place my destiny, the seemingly dark road ahead or the un-seemingly dark road beside it - both grey areas of untold fortune and outcomes.  Not being able to see what’s ahead is usually what troubles me. However, I also have another school of thought  - Persons who takes greater risks are usually the one who succeeds and people who usually takes a path least taken sometimes also turns out to be the winner.  However, some risk takers lose it all while some who take the path least taken end up in the dump. So where am I supposed to go?

Surrendering anew, I am now simply placing my chances to God’s greater will the One who has a clearer view on what’s ahead.

Start of Something New

They say that in our age today, you are not existing if you don't exist in a boolean form. If you try to google yourself out and no search results appears, then for most people you are only a pigment of their imagination, a myth even. Imagine our entire world is just based on mere 1 and 0 and from these foundations whala... the internet, chatting, my space and friendster. Your bank account, salary, licenses and even your identity is stored somewhere in the web. I can't imagine now a world without the internet, computers and mobile phones which less than 10 years ago were only considered luxury but now a neccessity.

It has been quite a while and to be exact 5 years since we graduated college. Five years since the end of our short stint in writing... and during one of our chat seesions today, another marvel of technology where people virtually meet, me, Marlon and Jervis, the original musketeers decided that we should take advantage of the new frontiers. Well, we figured out that since even our government is taking advantage of computerization so why not us as well.

And now We are back with a bang and we're signing on to project ourselves in our virtual format... Welcome to the Digital Age -- our digital journal.

From here on we will try to create our own world, Diamond Park-- a place were are ideas meet and mingle. Where our ideas go out for coffee, hang out or just walk around the park. Where ideas exchange new ideas and ideals are formulated.

Now sit back, relax, enjoy and take a stroll through our rantings, blabbers, snapshots and doodles. Drink up and enjoy our brain juices. Bon Apetit...
