superpowers i wish i have
clairvoyant adj.
1 : having the ability to see beyond the range of ordinary perception 2 : of or relating to the power or faculty of discerning objects not present to the senses
telekinesis n.
1 : the production of motion in objects (as by a spiritualistic medium) without contact or other physical means
telepathy n.
1 : communication from one mind to another by extrasensory means
It would be very interesting to have these powers. Reading minds, moving objects with your mind, and predicting the future. Man, that would be awesome!
I'm trying to find out if there is a mutant in the Marvel Universe who possesses these powers. Jean Grey? She isn't clairvoyant, although no one can deny her super powers of telepathy and telekinesis. Professor X? Obviously not.
I know! Psylocke. yes, Betsy Braddock herself. Orginally, she does not have telekinesis; but since the power switch with Phoenix, she has come to acquire this unique telekinetic force which she can combine with her other powers. Plus, her precognitice abilities aren't really fully developed - it just comes and goes, so to speak.
Okay, perhaps I am looking at the wrong field/category. Maybe I shouldn't be looking for it in the Marvel Universe. What, then: DC? Heck no. I should have trusted my instincts in the first place: the answers i seek lie in the force.
That's right. You could never go wrong with Star Wars. Why do i have to look far, when Master Yoda is just around? he is obviously blessed with these three powers. even better, he only uses these powers when he has to. remember episode four (a new hope), when he lifted the starship of luke? or in episode two, he had this spectacular light saber duel with count dooku. he even had a precognition (and an empath moment) in episode three when he felt each jedi being killed when order 66 was executed. it was a good thing he saw it coming, it literally saved his ass.
yoda is the best! three cheers for yoda. :)

sometimes it just gets to you
one would think that someone in my position would have nothing to feel blue about. true - i got a family that cares (however dysfunctional, hey they're family); i have real friends who have seen me through my shittiest and have still accepted me. i have a stable job in a company that (finally) recognised me for my efforts, talents, and hard work. yes, i got promoted to (middle) management. although technically, i havent assumed my post yet - it's just a matter of days. i get to sing in a choir - singing being one of the purest things i truly enjoy. i get to go to parties and events, in some cases even for free! i have books, reading has always been a passion. so what if i have like a dozen books in my shelf pending, waiting to be read? i'll get a chance to read them all. i get to eat good food: fine dining, street food, chocolates, coffee. life IS good. i thank my Maker that for the most part, i've been really lucky.
in spite of all these, all of a sudden it would just hit you. the smallest thing could act like a trigger, and everything would come flooding back in. this is one disadvantage of being connected almost 24/7. you have mobile phones, emails, social networking sites, etc. you are always just a click, a text away. so no matter how hard you try to steer away from something/someone, it becomes inevitable that your paths will meet. (cue in "It's All Coming Back" by Celine Dion)
it's crazy, really. it's been some time already. and for the most part, i have done very well. i have stuck to my professional plan of working hard and making sure i get to the next step. had this incident occured four, five years ago i definitely would have not made it. no, i would not have committed suicide. what i'm saying that back then, i would not be able to handle this sort of pressure and i would have caved in. several aspects of my life would have suffered big time. i am sure you get the picture.
this could be just a weather thing. seasonal affective disorder, as they call it. after all, the christmas season has already started (heck, it has started as soon as the -ber month kicked in! at least, this rings true in my country). we have been getting cool weather, which is really great. i dunno... i don't think the holidays are at fault here. after all, this season always makes me happy & warm inside. i always have something to look forward to during christmas: good food, the presents, etc. little things, really. so no, i take it this has nothing to do with the holidays.
