Sometimes I'll just lie in bed and let my mind wonder. I'm not just boy, not just a teenager. I can be anything I want; a zombie slayer with sawn-off-shotguns in either hand, a medieval knight with my long auroral spear or perhaps a talented mage in a distant land wielding lethal and destructive spells and hexes.
Yet, these imagined personas that I have are no because they are capable of doing dare-devilish feats or accomplish the impossible. No, these personas of mine are important to me because they, in their own respective worlds, are significant and needed in their own way.
To feel wanted and important. Is that really too much to ask ?

Lost
I'm lost in my own labyrinth, the darkness shrouds every corner. With every turn I make, the claustrophobia worsens. I cannot escape. I cannot escape. The maze is frightening, choking me from all directions. But I cannot run away.
Faith. The regalia of my soul.

Making the hard choices.
Well...where should I even begin? Prelims at AC are earlier than those in other schools, about two weeks, which I find is just absolutely ridiculous! We have lesser time to study for it and being a renowned party-animal/procrastinator/hardcore gamer doesn’t make the above any easier. Motivation to study is at a new time low which is definitely a problem. The only thing keeping me in the game is thought of being able to finally play Nox after the prelims. Man...I swear I'm gonna party so hard after the prelims....
---------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways, this post is actually dedicated?! to a dream that I had just now. In essence, it is about me trapped in a concrete room with no possible way of escaping as the psycho that locked me in is well... camping outside the tomb. I have a revolver, fully loaded but due to the space constraint I am unable to point the muzzle at the concrete door. And basically, I, being such a beast actually chose to shoot myself in the head and end up waking in cold sweat and a pounding headache.
I relished at the thought that wow...I actually had the balls to end myself if necessary but to take my own life so lightly...
Where will you be if not by my side? Where would you be when the world ends? Where would you be if not here?

Zombie Survival list
Courtesy of Nerdfighters
Added a few of my own ideas as well.
1- You are not safe. EVER.
2- Cardio- Be able to run for an extended period of time. Get in shape people !
If you can’t outrun the zombies, YOU WILL DIE.
3- Always carry a minimum of 2 reliable, lethal weapons (I can not stress "ALWAYS" enough)
4- Better safe than stupid (example- use your head; cut off theirs!)
5- Know where you will be sleeping before the sun sets. Be prepared to move out before daybreak.
6- Travel light- No dead weight (this goes for both objects you carry and people you're with. If someone can't pull their own, ditch them)
7- Save one bullet (do I need to elaborate?)
8- Dress smart (Tight-fitting, comfortable clothing, with slim, accessible pockets, and preferably velcro-sneakers) SUIT UP !
8a- Wear protective clothings that are 'Bite-Resistant?!'. Gloves and Mask especially to stop those pesky zombie guts from flying into your mouth !
9- Do(n't) be a hero
10- Only pull the trigger if you're ok with every ghoul within hearing-distance knowing exactly where dinner is.
11- Stay nourished and healthy (if you're living off canned food, make sure to take multi-vitamins! And remember, if you get sick, there's no hospital to treat you)(and remember, always use a condom! You really don't want herpes during a zombie apocalypse)
12- Drive safe! (And by that of course I mean drive in a hummer or a large SUV with bars welded to all the windows, and if possible an escape hatch in the roof)
13- If you can avoid it, then do.
14- Never, ever, ever, under any circumstances shall you EVER go anywhere alone (yes, this includes the bathroom)(void if everyone you've ever known/loved is a zombie)
15- Enjoy the little things. Like Tweeting ! @zarae313: Zombie chewing on my brother's legs...
16- Your mind is your most powerful weapon. Think, preferably outside the box (ex- need meds but the hospitals are all filled with Zack? Go to the vet/a pet store!)
17- Leave no doubt- know your way out!
18- Know your environment, use it to your advantage. No place is safe, only safer.
19- Tread carefully (watch where you're going and NEVER walk backwards)
20- Never give up
21- Calculus (Example- it takes you .75 seconds to hit a zombie in the head with a baseball bat and then prepare to strike again. If a zombie is withing 3 feet of you you can't wind up for a successful kiss-swing. It takes a zombie 3 seconds to walk 2 feet. The situation: you have 5 zombies walking towards you. Before you even prepare your first strike, look at the distance between each of them and determine if it will be possible for one of them to get within 3 feet of you while you dispatch the others. Plan out your kill order and know when you're going to need to back up (but remember rule 19!) The key is to 'Hit hard and hit often.'
22- 1 shot, 1 kill (slow is smooth, smooth is fast)
23- Never forget who you are. When we lose ourselves, when we lose our morals and values, we lose our humanity. And we become like them.
24- Know Thy Enemy. Information, knowledge and Intelligence ( synonym of information not to be confused with the ability to perceive and understand) is key to winning any war, let along a Zombie Apocalypse !
-Physical prowess. ie. Locomotor Skills, Speed and Eyesight. Romero v.s Runners
-Cognitive Skills.
-Lifespan?! Technically they are dead so....
-Mode of infection. How the virus spreads? Etc
25- DOUBLE TAP ! PEW PEW !!! x 2 Not necessarily be that of shooting or You'll run out of bullets twice as fast ! You just have to make sure that they are dead.
25b- Exception rule to #25 There's never enough time for just one more !
26- Your four greatest enemies- Thirst, Hunger, Fatigue, and Darkness. If you don't plan well for all of them you will become nom noms.
27- Avoid or befriend ?! Allies are an important assest in an apocalypse of any kind but beware, not everyone in an apocalypse can be as friendly as yours truly. There will and should be plenty of looters around so WATCH OUT !
28- Psychology of Fear. Okay, they’re ugly, scary, and makes terrifying moans. I get it. You’re scared. They don’t fucking care. So get over it.
One of the greatest fears of human beings is the fear of the unknown. In this case, a zombie. It may be a stuff of fiction, but when faced by a real stinking, rotting, living corpse, fear strikes our very hearts.
Is it because they are monstrous? No. Its because they were once people. People like you and me.
To survive a Zombie Apocalypse, one must remove the fear of the living dead. One must think that zombies are not what they were once was. It might take a while to get used to. But your survival depends on the choices you make. Kill or be killed. -http://zombies101.tumblr.com
29- Stay on the go, stay low, stay quiet, stay alert!
30- The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on.

For the both of us.
Once again conflict arises. And once again with you in the picture. I seriously don't understand why you can't just spare a thought for me ?! Yes, I'm undecisive and timid and foolish and weak. But maybe this was why we became such good friends. Two alpha males cannot coexist without conflict, a fact we both know all so well. Maybe that was why I chose to reduce myself to be the sidekick.
The introverted one, choosing to avoid confrontation as much as I can. But at the same time I just wanted you to know. To know what I was feeling inside, that I was feeling irritated or frustrated. I know you'll do the same for me as well, because we are friends, I know that I can be stupid and frustrating to be with at times. But our friendship withstood the test of time. That must have counted for something... And I know you genuinely cared for my well being. I just want you to know that I do as well. So please, as the more mature of us two just please, give in to me on this one.
I treasure this friendship, I hope we don't ever fallout. I don't have many people that I can call good friends. I hope I won't lose another.
Take an american chill pill.

Omnombie
Yes. Omnomnom-bies are like regular zombies but instead of being compelled by the primal urges to feed on human flesh, the Omnomnombie's diet is largely based on complex carbs, deep fried denurtured protein and simple sugar. They feast in large amounts perpetually every single opportunity they can. Coupled with their inability to engage in exertive labour has allowed their cellolose-filled constitution to accrue further with every additional chocolate bar they ingest.
Its not their constant and voracious gorging that seems to be troubling, but rather the incessant lamenting that comes afterwards. All the nauseating groaning and moaning; all the "Oh my I'm getting fat!" "Freak, I feel so fat !" Blasphemous. Utterly blasphemous.
The extra "room" you always make for dessert, is actually called your thighs.

Perspective.
The way we look at things can change us. And therefore, we must be wary, we must be cautious in the way we view things and act. We must not be hasty in our descisions and as we say in Singapore or anywhere else for that matter, "Think before you act, Look before you leap." Because our reckless descisions have ways to quickly manifest themselves into unimaginable mistakes with devastating consequences.
The way we look at things can change us.
