Phiten..

Some may have heard of it.. It's a well-known brand of product which includes items like necklaces, wristbands and the like..

An excerpt from Phiten's website -- Phiten products work with your body’s energy system, helping to regulate and balance the flow of energy throughout your body. Proper energy balance helps to alleviate discomfort, speed recovery, and counteract fatigue. Athletes find that they tire less easily and recover faster from intense physical activity.The Phild Processed material regulates the body's energy flow by stablizing ions. Phiten products stabilize the energy, permitting a greater flow of energy with less waste. Fatigue sets in later and recovery time is shortened.

However, fatigue is not caused by an imbalance of ions.. So it's not that scientifically justified.. But i decided to buy one and try it out for myself.. And..my verdict on it is that no matter how scientifically unjustified it is.. somehow, someway.. it DOES work.. it really does.. i used mine during archery and somehow.. i'm not that easily tired anymore.. i dunno whether it's a psychological thing but i'm glad that it works -- i don't care psychologically or not.. I now even use it whenever i'm tired and won't feel tired anymore after about a few minutes wearing it.. i'm not trying to vouch for this item.. i'm just giving my two cents on it actually working..

moving on..

i've been feeling kinda down lately.. i dunno why.. losing my appetite.. losing an interest in almost everything.. kinda feel easily upset about everything.. i dunno wat's wrong.. kinda emo..
maybe it's the fasting month coming up real soon.. maybe.. could be..

I've been giving some thought over myself for the past 2 weeks. i realise that my life has sort of kinda reached a stalemate over the past few months leading up to my enlistment date.. there's like a stagnant moment in my life.. the occasional paintball game, cage outings and archery trainings are injecting some life into my otherwise staled life.. I know most ppl would say "Hey why don't u just go out..? Go out on a date or something.. "..

Well i do go out sometimes, even to orchard by my lonesome.. but that just doesn't seem to change anything.. Dates - pffttt.. i don't have that much girl friends to go out with.. most of them are attached or newly attached.. or rather pretty busy with their own dates.. but surprisingly i managed to get some 'dates' over the past 2 weeks.. i'm not romantically involved with anyone so it's not that big.. it may be big in terms of catching up on things, new things in their lives that they want to share or new things in my life that they wanna know.. being on these dates.. or rather.. the days leading up to these dates.. i would be pondering on myself as an invidual.. as a single.. "When will i have someone to call my own..? ".. i dunno.. many ppl ask me.. and i tell them the same thing " No girl would want to start a relationship with a guy going into NS ".. simply said.. if u do come to think about it.. it does make sense and need no further explanation.. in addition to that.. i still don't understand much about the opposite gender.. in particular, these dates that i've had over the past 2 weeks..

Dates, in my opinion should be a fun time spent with someone.. laughing, joking, the occasional flirtatious quip, a time to get to know each other better, a dinner perhaps or even a movie, or, if among romantic individuals, holding hands, a nice warm cuddle or perhaps even a quick peck, and countless things to list down.. but the main idea would be having a great enjoyabe time with someone..
And in my opinion, proper dating etiquette would be to only be thinking about and collaborating with that particular person u're dating with..

These particular dates that i had really got me thinking.. i don't know whether i made a mistake or it's a lesson for me to learn.. but somehow, from these experiences, I've come to realise that I don't mean much to people who mean much to me.. there u go.. i said it.. that fact hit me the most hardest.. i felt totally lost.. it's like a part of me just tore away.. once again, i felt really hollow and empty inside..

another experience, or i would rather deem it as a mistake, that i learned is a rather complicated one.. I realised how timing can be so precious.. how its better to let someone know that u have feelings for that person and not take ur time to inform that person.. coz u never know that the moment u gather enough courage that person might be snapped up by somebody else.. and there goes ur chance.. and u'd have to wait -- a long time for another "right one" to come by..
