vampiejen: Perceived Values...
http://vampiejen.blogspot.com/2015/07/perceived-values.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. How do you perceive the value of money or anything for that matter? I believe that we have a bias on placing a much higher value towards things we own. For example, I feel enraged when I lose a Php20 pen I own, but I don't really care about a Php50 pen my sister loses. Recently, however, I learned of a different perspective to look at this question without considering direct material ownership. Scarcity: The True Cost of Not Having Enough.

vampiejen: January 2015
http://vampiejen.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 24, 2015. As a kid, I think I was conditioned not to talk to strangers for safety reasons. Parents usually become protective of their children at a very young age and probably see any "shady-looking" people on the streets as child molesters / kidnappers. :) Anyway, this led me to think how we actually make friends. Thursday, January 1, 2015. Thoughts on Time, the Past Year, and the New Year. I've been thinking a lot about time lately, mainly due to:. 1 The new year;. Random thoughts on ...

vampiejen: September 2014
http://vampiejen.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 17, 2014. I've always admired people who can discuss what they're doing or a certain topic off the top of their minds without having to consult their notes. I'm also inspired by people who are so passionate with telling others of what they do or plan to do. For me, it shows their love for their craft. I want that. I desperately want to feel that sense of passion, but I've always wondered how. Sunday, September 14, 2014. Sometimes, we try so hard to hold on to things we valued in the ...

vampiejen: November 2014
http://vampiejen.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 8, 2014. I'm not a stranger to losing a loved one. And I think a lot of us have lost people in our lives, one way or another. It does make sense to look back and think of fond memories we had with them. However, what happens when you can't? I don't mean you don't want to; I mean you just can't. What if you start grasping at straws trying to remember memories or experiences with them that either don't exist or have long been forgotten? Why do we go on living? Every day, we try to live u...

vampiejen: Freefall...
http://vampiejen.blogspot.com/2014/10/freefall.html
Saturday, October 25, 2014. Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to just fall? I mean literally fall to the ground from a skyscraper or off a plane, because I have. I've always been afraid of heights even though I try not to because I like the view at the top and the rush I get from climbing, which is ironic really. But when the time came to go down, I couldn't even take one step. I was so scared of just rolling off the stairs. Viewing Deck at The Shanghai Pearl Tower. John Louis von Neumann.

vampiejen: June 2014
http://vampiejen.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 24, 2014. This post is taken from my thought journal, written last 04/07/14. Many, if not most, people are afraid of dying. It's taboo to even speak of it. Often, it's considered disrespectful by our elders/parents to even entertain the idea of death. However, we all know it's part of life and no one is capable of escaping it. So why the stigma? What are we really afraid of? Faith bridges that gap between consciousness and the state of "nothingness" we ultimately imagine we'd be in after we...

vampiejen: That Twinkling Star...
http://vampiejen.blogspot.com/2015/04/that-twinkling-star.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. Looking up at the sky, I always try to find some inspiration - maybe a brightly-lit star to cheer me up. Whenever I spot a rare one, especially since I live in a city, I feel glad. Tonight, it was different. Looking up at the sky, I stared desperately, willing the stars to come out. Then I spotted one. About to smile, I stopped midway thinking, "There's the star, and it's all alone.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). John Louis von Neumann. Philippians 4:13 The Message. Wheth...
