Uni days in Superstars

My university days are over, however reminiscing on the challenges faced, which are among them is attending lectures which is about 80% of it are totally boring and not helping. Studying by myself at my crib helps more as I can relax and take my time in digesting the knowledge. Still, university life is a very interesting part of me getting more matured as well as get to know myself more better.

It is during the university days that I finally ditched wearing boots as it is quite heavy and attracts more attention. Going to lectures using a boot is a total no-no as boots are really classy and I am not that superstar who aces at all the subjects. I'm just a normal students and I need sneakers as I have sweaty foot, so slippers are a total distraction to me and my surroundings.

Finally, I bought a pair of sneakers at the end of the year 2008, which are a pair of decent Adidas Superstar II. It wasn't a fancy pair, looks rather like white school shoes as it is almost all white except for the golden trefoils accents. However it is so comfy to wear whenever I walk to my lectures and studies at the library. I can stand wearing it the whole day.

I've been hooked to the Adidas Superstars ever since, even though I'm not a superstar, nor a basketball player, but I'm a transformed sneaker collector. My girlfriend doesn't really like the superstar nor does my sister but there's something about this sneaker that has grabbed my attention. These sneakers just simply fits in and never fails me. Beauty and collectibles are indeed in the eye of the beholder.

As for now I'm still wearing these Superstars, I gave the gold trefoil to my cousin as I do not have the leisure of space to bring all my things to Bintulu. Still I've enjoyed wearing them and I do hope he has a good experience wearing it too during his college days. Adidas certainly has given me the best impression on footwear quality which haven't deteriorate since the olden days.

I'm hoping for more and more Adidas Superstars coming in to my collectibles as well as other models which I see fit to be worn. I'm also wearing Adidas Superstar to jog and they give the perfect grip as well as comfort for me at every terrain I meet. I'm not pro Adidas and I certainly love other brands, still I haven't seen a pair which can fit perfectly into my imperfect foot. If there is, I'll definitely opt for one..

A pair of Stan Smiths..

The Adidas Stan Smiths are a great pair of shoes. I have my first pair of Adidas Stan Smith a tad bigger size than my foot and it wasn't great wearing a shoe one size greater than your foot. So, after some time wearing it, I sold it off without much memories of wearing it. Since then, I've only had Adidas Superstars and the latest an Adidas Forum.

Still searching for a well worth pair of next sneakers, the Adidas Stan Smith 80s which are shown above are iconic reproduction shoes of the vintage model. These pair of shoes which are basically made up of premium leather upper is indeed a shoes which is a must have for every sneaker head. These pair of shoes basically match up either shorts, khakis or a pair of cool jeans.

I'll probably get one soon, if it is permitted and if the design is worth for my collectibles. I have to make sure to get  the correct sizing of course. Cheers.

Interesting.. but..

Recently, after my cousin recently obtained a pair of Nike Airforce 1s, I wasn't so impressed, the design was just okay for me. Still, recently I saw a mid version of the Nike Airforce and it attracted my attention. I haven't managed to try a pair yet. Maybe soon, if I'm lucky enough to come across a mid. Leather all over, and it is still a yet to consider liking it and having a pair into my collectibles.

By the way, it seems that I won't be getting one anytime soon as I'll be focusing more on the Adidas part of my collectibles, unless of course there is a change of heart.

Had my latest pair of kicks!!

After some adventures, I left my blog outdated, just got a new pair of Adidas Forum Mid RS "Crafts Pack". Haven't tried it on for walks yet but its going on soon. I find this pair as a very light replacement of my old pair of nu-buck Timberland boots. These pair of shoes sports really thick soles not to mention boot like design. Loving the aesthetics, next is to basically break into it.

These pair of shoes are indeed a fresh warm welcome of high cuts into my soles collectibles. Its the first Adidas Originals high cut which I've been able to get my hands on to. More to come soon.

Adventure..

Its been sometime since I've had an opportunity to have an adventure. A particularly dangerous adventure, where there is a certain potential where I might not even live to tell about it, but it seems very unlikely I'll reach to that certain point of time. So I guess I'll be dormant for the time being and relax. 

But I'm not that kind of person who just sits there or stay in a place without anything to do. I need a certain adventure. It doesn't have to be dangerous but I need to at least get myself moving and working. The gears in my body will cease to allow me to move freely if I never use it. My mind is wrecking itself if I keep staying walled up.

Urban adventures or even jungle adventures all makes me rile up in glee. I didn't even manage to join the last hike due to business at the University. Well, at least after this I'm done, but will I ever encounter another adventure soon? Pretty please?? 

Still anywhere I go, every adventure I participate in, I will submit to my Creator, at all times..

Dying a death where no one misses you..

Figure 1: The Mayor of Casterbridge.

   

    Recently I completed a masterpiece novel by Thomas Hardy, entitled the Mayor of Casterbridge. This story is about a man named Michael Henchard who initially in the early part of the story sold his wife and daughter for a small amount of money to a sailor named Richard Newson. 

    

    This story is a tragic story where the main character Michael Henchard starts with absolutely nothing and ends up with basically nothing as well. He is an impulsive person, who acts without thinking and a very self person. Everything that he does is based solely on his own actions.

   Henchard, is never condemned by anyone in this story, no matter the deed that he does is totally unacceptable. He lives in a society but never wants to be a part of it. He only wants to use his own power to obtain his wants, however, he forgets that he lives in a society.

    Henchard is really bad with secrets, he can't keep them well and keep telling those secrets to the wrong person, and in the end, the whole thing just backfires to him and causes his life to turn upside down. Henchard is not a trustworthy person and breaks his promise to marry a young lady name Lucetta.

    The Mayor of Casterbridge is a masterpiece written by Thomas Hardy. It is a really good book where its values are potrayed as the story is played by the reader. This story is tragic and filled with elements of curse, mirror-repetitions which are played well.

    Maybe, I have such qualities such as Henchard, it is a horror to end up like him, as in the end, Henchard dies a death where he wants no one, not even his own step daughter to remember or miss him. This is indeed a bitter and terrible curse to uphold.

  

Aftermath

Its been sometime since I finished my semester, but the stress inside still feels like its happening. It has passed, but I seem to not been able to leave it at that and be at peace. Is the effect of over-stress that horrid. I can't help but to realize that there is always that ability of mine to rewind those moments when everything seems to have no hope, no light and I prayed. I tried so hard to heal myself. I guess that's not my job and I have to rely on a higher power.

I didn't get those results that I wanted or whatever things which I plan to get or collect, didn't work out. I hope to get my collection going as soon as possible. Things have been out of hand before still I never wished that things would get better than this. I am in the process of healing myself, detoxifying myself.

My brain is full of negativity, fear to fail, fear to go on, and fear of being alone, this is my weakness, Deep inside I felt that emptiness but I never strive to acknowledge it. I am in constant fear of my inability to find solutions due to tons of relevant and irrelevant data inside of me. 

Still, I'm holding up, and I like to thank my Creator for allowing me not to break and crack myself during those torturous times. I want to free myself but I can't for only He can do it. And I can only praise and acknowledge that through his unending kindness, I can finally see the light and be glad.
