This was extracted from an e-mail sent to me by Kuya Ryan who’s currently staying in Melbourne. The moment I opened it and read all the stanzas, it further testified that we cannot throw Time away because it waits for no one. When it’s gone, it’ll vanish and can’t be found anymore. It also gave way to my thoughts that we ought to treasure everyone who appears in our lives because losing friends or relatives is painful especially when we don’t treasure and appreciate them in the beginning. Regrets; there is no way to turn it back to its original form if everything was taken for granted from the start.
What’s your say?

Apparently K33g is still alive and kicking XD
About the sociability of geeks thing:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
I got these definitions from the results of this test. (I scored as a “Pure Nerd” by the way).
“The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the “dork.” No-longer. Being smart isn’t as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.
Congratulations! “
