Magandang hapon po! The year seems to be going by pretty fast, isn't it? Today's topic is about the way things seem to be. When you woke up this morning, did you have a feeling of how the day was going to be like? Perhaps you had a dream and some of that dream resembles what has happened today?
When you told somebody you'd be there in 5 minutes, did the time suddenly disappear or did those 5 minutes feel more like an hour? Did the mood of people around you seem to change for no apparent reason? Are you allergic to foods you didn't think you were allergic to? Has something caught your eye that you could have cared less for before?
Sometimes I think all of the above applies to just one day! It's those weird days when everything seems to be quite different, but strangely enough, it seems familiar enough to shrug it off. It's as if you go outside, without any plans, and then suddenly you have so much to do. But when you reflect on it, doesn't it seem like that was supposed to happen anyway?
All the chaos that's been happening isn't really shocking, is it? Have the world events of the last 10 years really surprised you? Sure we may be in temporary shock, but it's amazing how fast it wares off. But maybe it only seems like we're somewhat prepared for the things that happen around us.
Even the "new" technology that's out there doesn't seem to enthrall us for more than a few months (or days...). Sure there are commercials which are a few years old advertising all of the latest technology, but it's so passe. The older generation probably marvels more than the younger generation. Many still can't even get the computer turned on.
But that's not a shot at the older generation, because they were the "builders" of this technology. Sure, the majority may be as retarded as the young generation is in school now, but not all of the old people are slow; in fact, they probably know more than you (well, you whoever). However, many young people are quite versed in technology, but they, too, may be a minority.
I'm not saying that the majority of youths now can't use the technology, but how many can build the technology they use? How many are able to program these futuristic gadgets? And how many actually know about it? Not simply operating it (i.e. sending photos, downloading music, searching the net, etc.) but knowing how and why it does what it does?
Feel free to comment! Thanks.

John!
I think this one is so true, where does the time go in one day. IF you have plans they vanish and if you dont the day seems to last forever. Your honestly a great writer and I am enjoying your blog. Keep up the work.
