Hello everyone!

Can't believe it has been five months since I blogged.  Well, life's kinda boring and constantly filled with busy college schedule everyday ever since 2nd sem started.  Now, I am here wasting a bit of my time to keep my blog updated. So how's everyone doing so far? I hope you guys are having a great life.  Guess what, it just hit me that its already November and 2014 is coming to an end soon. VERY SOON... Yeah, so let that sink in a little bit.  Can't believe how fast time flies. D': Not to be surprise with how fast a year is passing by, I still can't seem to grasp the whole idea that I am about to finish my 2nd sem in next few weeks. I haven't even make full use of this sem and barely know all my classmates this semester and the next thing I know is some seniors are leaving after this sem. :( Of course the worse thing about this is the fact that finals is coming up... real soon... Feels like a huge truck is coming in my way to kill me. Sigh. I just wish I was born a genius or something! Then, I wouldn't have to worry much about studying. It has been such a tiring semester with all the workload, I am glad my brain didn't explode. Surprisingly. Guess I will just have to hang in there a little while. Anyways, stop all the rants on my boring life and college. I was browsing through my favorite website, the INCIDENTAL COMICS and I found some new comic drawings! So, I thought about sharing one of it that I like a lot which is Outside The Box.

























  
  Don't this comic seems somehow inspiring to us?  I am pretty sure everyone have been told or at least heard about how we should always be more creative and ' Think out of the box'. Well, this comic has definitely show us that its not always about thinking outside the box. Instead, we can do all the thinking everywhere and anywhere.
   I somehow manage to relate the box in this comic to our life.  Most people in the world tends to do the thinking outside of the box because it is what we are told to do. Just like how we are told how to live our life, we let people guide our life. But in fact, we can do so much more than just looking outside of the box to think. The box is ours. Instead of following what others do, we can change a little bit of our views and think further ahead and be more creative!  Its such a big box that we are able to do so many things to it. Whether we want to make it colourful inside out, whether we want to change the shape of it, or take the risks to open up the box and figure out the surprises it might brings. This is what life (or in this case, the box) can bring us. If we are unhappy about it we can be creative and paint it with the things we love, the colours we want to have in our box. We can change the shape of it, try out new things.  We shouldn't be afraid of the mystery the box have, instead take risks, challenges, face the fear and open up the box. We never know what the changes in life can bring to us if we don't change it and try out new things. Think like a pirate! Do you really think if a pirate found a treasure box he's just going to carry it home and not open it beforehand to see whats in it? He will have to open it to see if there are gold or expensive things in it.  What if he didn't open the treasure box, brought it home and found it to be filled with.. I don't know... skeletons?? Same goes to the box (your life), if you don't open it what would you know what it brings? A gold, diamond or just dusts? How will you know?
  Besides, open up the box, if you are bored of it, find new things and new functions of the box. That's what makes life interesting. Are you really going to stay in your box for 100 years without changing it. What if the box was drenched by rain water and it is crumbling down? Once you throw it away, you might lose everything and find no meaning to it. But, you only have one box! So, if you throw it, what will you be left with? The box should be reconstruct, with new design, new materials to make a better function of it. Maybe before this it gets all wet and breaks apart, reconstruct and make it waterproof! This means move on with your life, always upgrade it, change it, find meaningful new things to do with your life.
  When we face any problem, solve the problem. Just like how you would try to solve a rubrics cube. Even taking out the colored stickers of the squares on the rubrics cube and pasting it again to form a perfect solved cube is a way. Do anything logical and possible to solve the riddles of life.  Another thing, people should learn to push their limits.  Bring life to another place, at a higher level and experience something new. To breathe in new air above the ground.  Also, go beyond the box, beyond your life, think of all possibilities and forms of life. Think of it in many shapes and sizes because its your life. How you shape it, mould it, push it, colour it, it will be your one and only box, your one and only life. Do whatever you want with it, grow with your box and that's how you become creative. That's when you can think not only out of the box but anywhere you want, in, out, top, bottom.

I hope its a meaningful post to everyone. Have a nice day =) ! Till the next time I blog... see you!
