how are you?

thats what eli just asked me.

well, of course i said "im fine" thats what most people would say since how are you is generally regarded as a type of greeting like "whats goin down muh nigga?" or "hello" or "good day".

i mean, if you seriously meant what you asked. a person if willing could probably go on for quite a long while about how they were. which is not what people normally seek in a friendly greeting.

andy says
the phrase cum sentence" how're you?" is actually a mishapen mishap.
by saying this i mean that it is grammatically and lyrically inconcievable.
how are you?
how?
how inevitably refers to you
but that is physically impossible since the word how is normally used in sentences like "how do u play basketball"
unfortunately, "how are you" is a sentence refers to a question asking about the state you are in.
which does not make logical sense again.
however it has been accepted into the english language over the past few decades.

thats what andy said.
but i dont think his masters degree in common sense works out for him. he only made sense to himself.

so i shall answer the question "how are you?"

well, in a sentence i could say that im loving life.

but going deeper, theres more.

so if you wanna read on, the rest of it might be really really incomprehensible. try.

well, i say i love life. because i think im living it to the fullest it could be at this point of time.

loving life does not mean loving everything life brings you. and im hating alot of it actually. hating it enough to make me consider how "im fine" i really am. but no, i wont be answering "how are you?" with "_________" (fill in the blanks) anytime soon.

firstly, i'd say i really hate studying. ugh.. like im seriously sick of it. during sec 4 times, i could still say im ok with it. though it felt really limiting and all mugging for O's and prelims. but it felt all right somehow.

now, i'd say that i really hate it. i cant stand sitting down for half an hour reading notes and re-doing(or rather, doing for the first time) tutorials. i just feel it has no meaning at all. im just doing it because i know its gonna affect me in the future. and maybe its just youthful restlessness and agitation.

well, do note, i did not say i hate school. im cool with school cuz school is a tool for a fool to learn tools for the future. and i like to learn. i like knowledge. i like it when i get that "really ah?!" feeling and realise wow, there's actually more to what i thought was general knowledge.

i like learning. i like friends in school. though i cant say i'm thoroughly enjoying myself in vjc, i find myself still taking home some very dear memories from my 1 year stay so far. i've made some good friends. and i like that! school is cool.

i hate studying. but i like learning and being educated. this is number one. so in conclusion of this school segment, i'd say, I'm fine.

secondly, i'd like to consider how i'm doing in sailing.

i really do enjoy sailing a hell lot. just to set the record straight. i enjoy it as much if not more than what i used to when i was sailing 6 times a week.

so i sail like 2 times a week or maybe like 1.5 times a week rather if im taking an average.

im enjoying it definitely. sometimes i wish i had continued sailing seriously and giving myself at least some opportunity at overseas comps and stuff. but more so to improve and be damn pro. haha.

but i guess, its one of those things God has told me to lay down. so, its laid down.

am i happy? no. but i've got joy in knowing that there will be greater things (:

so sailing aspect. not happy, but there's joy. conclusion: im fine.

love life. ah.. tricky one. i say i've not worked and thought through some things yet. nor have i done anything. i cant say im happy with things. but then again, its just that i just know. that its not the time yet. i might just spoil it all by saying something stupid like i love you.

i know God is in control here also. so, im fine (:

spiritual life. read previous post (dec 14 thurs)
so im still fine.

so, you ask me. how're you?

i'll say im fine!
