There's three general expectations of living life.
1. You expect the worst; consequently hoping every situation turns out better than you have anticipated.
2. You expect nothing; living every moment as a surprise.
3. You expect the best at all times; believing expecting the best is the only way to bring out the best.
For the majority of my life leading up to my current age, I was a firm believer of the 'expecting the worst, hoping for the best' attitude. I always thought that's how I'd stay satisfied with most life occurences. Everything seemed to turn out better than how I ever measured it to be. However, recently I thought I'd put that attitude behind me because in a way it was a negative energy. I held the bar so low that sometimes that's the most I'd get. So I turned it around and started to expect the best. I woke up each morning expecting a good day. Even in the days where all things could go wrong, I never labeled it a bad one until the last moments before sleep 'cause there was still hope that I could reverse my fortunes. It could get tough though, getting a good day everyday out of your life. I ask myself how I could stay balanced and live it thorough? To me, living frugally on surprise each and every step of the way is what i enjoy most.
How do you live yours?

The Foundation
With my days as an ambitious architect, I learned the foundation is indispensable. Before the blueprints are drafted, endless pages of fixed lines were drawn uninterrupted for nights. They had to be precise, otherwise a slight blunder - they had to be re-done.
When I was creating this blog I thought, not only is the content to be fruitful, it had to consist of a foundation. A structure that embodies me, suits me and personifies me. Every word, every line drawn up this point has done that. However, improvements will come within time.
If you look around the colors of this page, it represents my favorite color(s); brown. Notice I had 's' in parenthesis because I believe beige is associated with brown. But those colors have been fond to me for five plus years. (Now only if I could get a Louis monogram going...jp)
The title of my blog 'From Kwik to Kyubert' stands for the nicknames given to me over the years. The change in nicknames also comes from the transformations I've gone through within different stages of my life. The name Kwik was first given to me in middle school as a b-boy and has lived with with me for as recently as a year ago. I dropped it because I felt like it represented my adolescence. And thanks to Mikey Fresh, I now go by Kyubert.
The daily quote on the left hand side of the page isn't just a random quote shoved in by this blog site. I carefully choose them to the correlation of how I feel at the given moment. It abbreviates the million thoughts that go through in my head into one sentence.
And finally, the first blog I wrote below summarizes my life, my experiences and my outlook towards what's ahead of me. The three main reasons I wanted to create this blog, in order to share them for I have accumulated so much by living in different places of the world...And it'd sure be a waste to keep it for myself.
I hope you enjoy.
