There are just soooo many creative people out there. Sometimes I'm totally jealous. Other time just awestruck :)

Origami
I've been brushing up on and learning new Origami. I always thought it would be fun to fold paper up and make it into objects but never thought I'd enjoy this so much.
I think part of the beauty of Origami is that something so plain and simple can be transformed into something that's so intricate and complicated. It's awe-inspiring.
And no I don't know use complicated mathematical equations and use geometry and physics etc to make the objects. I just download videos that show you how and copy the moves :D
I don't think I would ever create any original stuff but it's good enough to re-create what others have already created.
I'd definitely suggest Origami as a hobby. It requires nothing but technique, which in todays day and age is so simple to figure out.

Oli Lemieux - Trampoline Wall I don't know what...
I keep wondering where gravity has gone...Just too cool.
Must require so much strength to pull this stuff off.
There is 1 more video of his which is worth watching. It shows up in the related links after the video is over
[Sorry about the size, but anything smaller actually just takes away from the video]

Empowering
Casting my vote (for the elections and not some SMS on a stupid reality game show) makes me feel empowered.
Maybe it's because this is my first year voting and that's why there is this excitement and this feeling that I am making a difference (or trying to cause obviously it's not like the party or person I vote for will always win). Maybe over the years, this will just become something I don't care about but I doubt that will happen. Plus the other thing is that once you are on the voters list, there is nothing cumbersome about casting a vote. My center is like 2 minutes walking distance away :) the process takes less than 2 minutes...usually there isn't a super long line and you get from morning until evening to cast your vote.
Lets hope the party I voted for wins :)

Magic....not quite...
In case anyone is wondering where it is that I have disappeared to....well unfortunately again have trouble with my internet. Time to change our ISP I guess.
Funny thing though is I don't miss being online as much as I thought I would. Though I do feel very cut off from the world :)
Anyway hopefully issue will get sorted within a week.
See you all then.
