Aspire to Inspire

I saw this picture while cleaning up my folder of unsorted files. It’s turning into a hobby gahhh hahaha a clutter-y desktop makes me feel so unorganized that I couldn’t start any homework/paper/digest if it were a mess. Weird. ANYWAY la la la.

This emotional looking birdcage was hanging in a pretty tree with pink flowers along a sidewalk in Aberdeen (southern part of HK Island). At that moment, I kept wondering who placed it there and more importantly why. Oh ang emo diba hahaha cause it really was in the middle of nowhere hahaha I looked around and none of the handful of passers-by seem to own it. It’s like the little sister of seeing a brand new blender on top of a dainty table in the middle of SLEX :)) Whatever.

Don’t get me wrong, I love this picture (malamang cause I shot it and dapat love your own right haha) but I just find it so emotional that staring at it could give one the “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy falling whale” syndrome.

Remember? It’s the whale called into existence by some alien life form, randomly falling into the earth as he ecstatically screamed “Ahhh! Woooh! What’s happening? Who am I? Why am I here? What’s my purpose in life? What do I mean by who am I? Okay okay, calm down calm down get a grip now.” - Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, H2G2: Yes, I am in love with that movie. 

Five little things:
1) When I shot it, it was such a movie-like scene it was annoyingly cliché
2) So many stuff can be drawn out of this picture, kung nababaliw ka na or you’re bored or you feel poetic or what > Illusion of freedom? Pwede? :))
3) Leaves and pink petals were falling off from the trees and the weather was perfect /wrist :))
4) If only 19th century foreigners got it right, we’d be calling Hong Kong “Aberdeen” today. Foreigners landing near Aberdeen mistook “HK” for the whole island and by the time they realized their mistake, HK was already commonly used. Oh well, see the streak of randomness. 
5) Good night! I have to fix up now, I might be late for dinner! Catch you guys again soon xx
