399th

Feeling tired
By the fire
The long day is over


This is the 399th post.

This entry also means that i am one post away from the big 400th post,and also the fact that i have more entries in this blog than the old one i have,beating it with three more entries.The last blog took me about 17 months to reach where i am now,whereas this blog only took about 11.Perhaps i have more things to say in this phase of my life,the last one being endless schooling,routine studying every single day.Nothing ever occured to me as being...worthy of remembrance i guess.But now i noticed that i am capable of noticing little things,and then relating them to bigger issues of my life,and the people's lives around me.

It is a strange feeling to stand upon the brink of the big 400.I dont even who why i chose 400 as the benchmark,like the last time i had such a blog entry at the 200th post.Oh well,i guess it is the same feeling of being nine years old,ninteen years old and twenty nine years old.When the first digit of your age is officially going to change,jumping from one digit to the next one,there are so many emotions running through your head all at once.Like,how much have you changed as a person,from one phase to another?Have you change at all?Who are you going to be?Where is everybody going to be?You know,questions like that comes flooding into your head on the brink of everything.I think the end of something is like death,the way it paints a more beautiful picture to everything with a palette full of colours.Everything just becomes a little more important,and you become a little more wary of things.It's just an interesting feeling,to be typing the 399th post and realise that you've come this far.

I dont know what the 400th post is going to be.Maybe it is going to be yet another short story of mine.Or like the last time,a long seemingly endless poem about me talking to somebody,but it really was just the result of my mind's manifestations.Whatever it is going to be,i dont think the content really matters.What matters though,is that i treat everything before this benchmark as a single day in my life,and to know that within this frame of twenty four hours i have changed as a person,that at the end of this long long day,i have evolved into a person,a greater man.And i do believe,i truly believe that i have in so many ways.

But it is not to say that the simple switch of numbers,from 3 to 4 as the first digit,you automatically transform into a different person entire.After all,they are just numbers and when it is stripped down to the most basic of things,it is all up to you whether you have change,or you have not.I still dont know what i am going to blog about as the 400th post,or i might just save the space for tomorrow,or the day after that,when inspiration strikes and i suddenly have a clue on what to type.But for now,i am going to enjoy myself,immerse myself in this sudden serenity,the deep breath before the plunge - the plunge into the next phase of my life,which i am welcoming with opened arms.

My legs are tired,and my arms are weary.But most of all,throughout this day of mine,this long 399 posts-long day,i have had my emotions drained and the filled,drained and then filled once more.It is the rollercoaster of such flow that fascinates and excites me in life i guess,and i intend to view this rollercoaster from the front seat,as it takes a plunge off the highest cliff.I dont know if it is going to derail,or if i am going to end up on yet another crest,waiting for gravity to take hold.But one thing is for sure though,that from now till the next benchmark,i am going to live my life,the way i want to.And at the end of the next long day,i am going to look back,and like now,smile and be satisfied.

The wind is gone
Asleep at dawn
The embers burn on

With no reprise
The sun will rise
The long day is over
