The Art of Doing Nothing
by: Kali Alaia
It is a mental sickness, if you cannot stop and do nothing for a while. When was the last time you tasted your coffee? When was the last time you noticed the feeling of the wind touching your face.
When was the last time a poem had an effect on you, when was the last time you really felt something-
Being busy all of the time, and not being able to stop and enjoy, breathe and acknowledge the beauty around you- is wasting your life.
So Stop.
Feel the music, dance, sway or just sit down in the grass and think of nothing at all.
In the spaces of silence and the nothing--you will find that you are always interconnected with the Universe.
Slow down my friend and listen to the rain- let it lull you to sleep- let if flow and let it rush through your veins.
Calm the mind to nourish the soul.
What is the price of privacy: The Introvert talks
by: Kali Alaiia
Alala ko nung 12 years old ako I was thinking of a business concept.
The idea is to have a private room that you can rent, the room will have different books in it ( any topic)
It will be located sa tahimik na area, wala pang Internet noon so di ko naisip kung meron bang internet dapat doon.
The general idea is that you can rent a room for privacy- pwede ka magluto, magbasa, magtago ng ilang araw kung gusto mo, meron siyang sofa and art materials and the place will be surrounded by trees and you are not obliged to talk to anyone- in fact walang pakialaman ng trip sa area na yun.
There is no need to socialize kung ayaw mo- well ginagawa pala ito sa Japan and other countries- where privacy is valued.,
Noong bata pa lang pala ako Introvert na ako. Philippines is very family oriented at times, its very hard to be an introvert- yung tipong gusto mo nag babasa ka lang walang istorbo or nag susulat ka lang.
When you are silent or di ka mahilig mamansin ng mga tao dito sa Pinas- medyo tingin sayo loner or depressed- but how does an introvert explain that several hours of silence is tremendous and blissful.
Im still thinking of creating that place- meron pa kaya sa Baguio na sobrang tahimik, pwede mo puntahan tuwing gabi, pwede ka mag stay buong araw para magkulong but with minimal fee-- you can just sit and do nothing all day and stay away from every stress imaginable...
A room with a yellow lamp, with books, coloring materials, coffee or chocolate drink-- or pwede lang mag movie marathon to no end.
I will gladly pay for such a place-- yun bang di sasabihin ng owner if you are inside the area-- no one can find you- you can enjoy your alone time to the fullest.
