Space Of Reality

Last night, I dreamed about grapes - a lot of grapes hanging on a vineyard. Because of curiosity, I made a research on what does it mean "dreaming about grapes" and here's what I found:

- To eat grapes in your dream, you will be hardened with many cares; but if you only see them hanging in profuseness among the leaves, you will soon attain to eminent positions and will be able to impart happiness to others. For a young woman, this dream is one of bright promise. She will have her most ardent wish gratified. - Source: 10000 Dream Interpretations, by Gustavus Hindman Miller

Check out the sentence in bold - it is exactly as my dream was. It said "you will soon attain eminent positions and will be able to impart happiness to others" Is this for real? Just wondering...

Check out the italized sentence, it said my most ardent wish will soon be gratified. I am still wondering what that wish was... if it will come true, the question is "When?"

Do you believe in this interpretation? What do you think?

APRIL is the cruelest month,
breeding lilacs out of the dead land,
mixing memory and desire,
stirring dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm,
covering earth in forgetful snow,
feeding a little life with dried tubers."

--T.S. Eliot, the Wasteland

Are you familiar with these lines? I saw this poem a while ago and I thought it might be interesting to discuss this here in Space of Reality. Do you think April is the cruelest month - based from the poem? Why do you think so.

I know the month of April already passed months ago. Some of the important days of this month were remembered, some were forgotten. In some part of the world, the lilacs bloom and then die. During April, summer will come, with its heat and violence in the streets and the cinemas. Life tends to come and go and all we can do is make our moment to moment decisions.

Can you relate? It is our individual choices that make up the history of humankind. What are you going to do? What is important to you, and how are you going to make it important for everyone else?

Happy Fourth of July America!!! I was looking for cool 4th of July Myspace graphics for some of my friends when I decided to post a short greeting to America's celebration of Independence Day here in Space of Reality. How old is America now? Just wondering...

I am sure today is a day with lots of fun, barbecues, and fireworks!!! Happy Independence Day, USA.

Have fun and enjoy!!!

Love... another four-letter word that is mostly hard to define and understand. Agree? I think, we all have our own definition for LOVE, but most of the times, there are times we don't actually understand it.

Just a question: Have you ever experienced loving someone and tried so hard just to make him love you back? In the end, you just give up saying "I Can't Make You Love Me".

Maybe not. Maybe yes. Maybe unsure.

"I can't make you love me" Is this a sign of defeat or just acceptance?

In my opinion, when you love someone, you don't have to expect him to love you back. Loving is loving. No expectations involved. It is great to love and be loved back , but making someone love you back is not good. Let him love you without pressure ;0 What do you think?

I have less than 7 years before I get 30 years old. Actually, my topic today just came out of nowhere. I don't usually think about getting old, but earlier today after waking up, a sudden thought about "getting old" popped inside my mind.

"Will I be too old at the age of 30?"

Of course not. But I will be too old to start making all my goals into reality. So, in as early as now, before I get 30 years old, I made a list of 7 things I should do before I reach that age.

1. Buy a House and Lot. Who doesn't want his own house and lot? Not me definitely. I hope within the 7 years time frame, we won't be renting anymore ;0

2. Got a business. Either a Internet shop, a small restaurant, or do real-estate... I am opting all of them ;0

3. Buy a Dream Car. Currently saving money for this ;0

4. Have enough bank savings for the future. I hope so... I wanted to be financially, emotionally, and physically stable by the age of 30.

5. Send all my siblings to college. I need a lot of money for this ;(

6. Travel around my country and enjoy the white beaches. Wow... I am just hoping so ;0

7. Rest, Relax, and have a stress-free life ;0

These are my 7 goals before I become 30 years old... and I wanted that, as soon as I will be 30, I will be enjoying my goal #7. Yippeeee!!!

How about you? What are your goals and plans before you become 30? If you are already 30 years old - do you still have plans for the future?

Why do we judge people? C'mon, let's admit it. All of us already judged other people in one way or another - whether it is giving that girl in the too-tight outfit a crappy glance or talking about people who sometimes make mistakes - it is still judging or criticizing.

So why do we judge other people? Is it because of jealousy? dislike? disappointment? or is it just a human nature - I mean, is it natural or normal to judge people because we are only human?

In my opinion, it is okay to "see" other people mistakes, weaknesses, or imperfections... However, instead of stressing it out and telling it to other people, why not talk to that person straight and honestly, tell her/him what you think about her, and suggest something you believe will make her/him better.

Fair, right? I know it is not easy, but it still the right move. That person may not appreciate your effort, but at least you did what is best for both of you ;0

What do you think?
