Louella is morbid-minded. Thanks to her parents' (both physicians) daily discussions on hospital deaths over breakfast. Louella is a graphic design student, illustrator, creative writer and a one-time independent film director. She hates summer, 12 noon and dirty toilet bowls.

That is so 10,000 BC, dude!

Palden Dorje seated beneath a pipal tree.
I came across an article, Christmas Day, about the re-appearance of a Nepalese boy believed to be the reincarnation of the Lord Buddha. Ram Bahadur Bomjon, also known by his official buddhist name Palden Dorje of Ratanapuri Village in Nepal, has been seen collapsed in deep meditation, clothed in dirty tricivara (triple robe) under a pipal tree in the middle of a Nepalese forest. He began his meditation May of 2005 with hopes of achieving enlightenment in six years. Reports from the Nepalese media furthermore recount the boy's notable persistence to stay seated peacefully and in a prayer stance, refusing food and water.


A good, normal person would, of course, contemplate to himself and end up with a conclusion that the boy is a schizophrenia-suffering youngster who traded soccer, alcohol and speed dating to months of fasting and meditation in exchange of the sought-after experience among Buddha-believers: spiritual enlightenment.

Good thing for the Nepalese boy, he was not raised in a Science-believing, technology-controlled, money-obsessed society. Otherwise, to avoid humiliation from their college-educated, up wardly mobile circle of friends, his parents would have locked him up in a loony bin to suffer the consequences of not living a streotypical life expected of a highschool boy.


Sure, he's mental odd. But at least he's got personality.

So true -- a quircky personality used to be treasured before the mass media homogonised everything.
