Los Angeles in general is a city where people come and go. Unfortunately I’m soon to be part of it (or I was destined to be part of it). The city itself doesn’t offer much to the point one could hate it, but undeniably, it’s the people that lives in this city makes it more enjoyable, regardless the “drama”.
You feel useless at 10 because you didn’t achieve your goal.

I went through emotional depression in the first-half of 2009 after I was fired (or may be I resigned first) from my job.
It lasted for 6 months. I didn’t really tell everyone during that phase.
I’m always aware this depression will return, because it’s impossible for one to always feel upbeat 24/7/365. But I wasn’t expecting that it comes so soon again.

Lately I find myself being not real to myself.
It’s not ok to be duplicitous towards others, but it’s ok as long as it’s towards me, since it doesn’t hurt nor harm anyone. But I’m hurting myself. I’m hurting myself for thinking duplicity is fine, which ultimately transform into one big lie.

Since I was little, I was taught to be humble on everything. Well, to tell the truth, not everything, but I did it anyways.
Ever since I get constantly reminded about that, and being told that bad things happen for being cocky, I’ve been pretty much humble for my life.
And that’s where the problem comes.
There’s a Chinese proverb that says Human is afraid of being famous and pigs are scared of being fat.
However there are times that one gets famous in certain point of their life. It might lasts forever or it might lasts for only 15 seconds.
Living in Los Angeles, in particular West Hollywood, and getting to know people around, especially having a good friend who hosts a weekly club gig who mentions my name once a while publicly, makes me a quasi-celebrity. At least I felt like a quasi-celebrity.
I’ve been traveling for quite sometime during the past 6 months. To be honest, as a person who produces contents for airline schedule changes on daily basis, I don’t like the idea of flying. (This post is not about flying, however.)
Every time when I travel, regardless it’s “work” or just for pleasure, there seems to be something that “hits” me. It could be memories to reminisce or lessons to learn. Especially the trip to Vancouver and Seattle last week.
