I have voted Earth, why didn't you?
Bitched on: Sunday, March 29, 2009
Time: 3/29/2009 01:07:00 AM
So I was in school for Earth Hour (would have been uneventful if I were alone at home since the family was out) and for that one hour I was going around my school turning off the lights with my 'sidekick'.Time: 3/29/2009 01:07:00 AM
It was fun and it felt fulfilling, you know? Small an action as it was, it was still some contribution I could give for that one hour.
But, of course there were some who thought I was being a 'nuisance'. Think what you want, tsk-tsked as much as you want or complain as much as you want, I did my part and I am not embarrassed. If you couldn't have worked in the dark for one little hour or taken a break instead and walked outdoors to enjoy the cool fresh air, then I should be the one tsk-tsking you.
If I were such an 'inconvenience' in this one little hour, think of how much inconvenience future generations would feel when your 'shortsightedness' warms the Earth's temperature tenfold and they couldn't have enjoyed walking out and about at nights such as this without a protective suit.
Think about it.

Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.
Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

I sat down beside him, listening to his monotonous and disparaging remarks.
I sat down beside him, listening to his dull and condescending tone.
I saw my cutter on my table, blade not retracted.
I sat down beside him, listening to him speaking in jibberish now.
I sat down beside him, bloody scenes playing in my head.
I sat down beside him, listening to him so full of himself and at the same time bringing me down.
I picked my cutter up, I paused.
And I retracted the blade before putting it back.
I sat down beside him, smiling.

You don't need to read a book or watch a movie to know that he's just not into you.

February is usually the unofficial month for love... and vomit-inducing public displays of affection. But strangely all I see around me last month were break-ups and heart-breaks. And usually the females are the ones who are left in the lurch.
So allow me to dedicate this entry to you ladies out there. And trash talk my kind - boys or men depending on their age or level of maturity. Yes, I will blog about the gender with twice the heads but half a brain. God's rough draft before the improved copy.
Being a single guy has its perks: listening to girls complain about their boyfriends or exes and hearing how loser-ish they really are.
Gone are the days when I envy attached guys. Cause they are mostly a bunch of immature dumba**es who do not know how to treat their girls right. But of course there are a handful who have been truthful and loving to their other halves. And those are the ones I admire... but not envy.
Its hard to find someone who brings a smile to your face just thinking about that person. And boys will be boys, will get sick of something or someone very easily. And that smile will eventually turn into subconscious resentment and exasperation.
Take it from me who have heard it one too many times; boyfriends getting sick of their girlfriends. While its easy for me to tell the girls, move on, he is just not into you anymore, that is frankly all I can say.
Move. On.
And of course I will add the, that guy is a jackass to begin with.
He has the maturity and attention span of a 2-year-old toddler. You do not want to take care of a big baby like him. Heck, even Cate Blanchett was wise enough to let Brad Pitt go. So unless your boyfriend is Brad Pitt, let that emotional-retard go.
The biggest male role model in my life is my Dad. And I will follow in his footsteps how he treats the most important woman in his life, my Mum - with respect. He helps around the house instead of waiting to be served. And I have never once seen him raise his voice at my Mum, even when she nags and nags.
That is how a man should treat any lady. With respect.
But I have heard of my friends' boyfriends abusing them.
Either verbally or physically or both.
I think the former is just as bad the latter.
Whoever said 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but names can never hurt me' is definitely wrong. While the external bruises and scars will eventually go away, its the verbal abuse that scars the spirit and heart, for a really long time. You doubt yourself, your abilities and your self worth.
Take this friend of mine, (a model, mind you) who has a boyfriend who picks on her every little flaws and magnifies them tenfold. She thinks she is fat and ugly.
Another friend has a boyfriend who 'took her in' because he feels pity for her and he never fails to constantly remind her of her 'situation'.
Or another friend whose ex-boyfriend repeatedly compared her to this other girl... whom he eventually went out with after their break-up.
Guys are jerks.
We have huge egos and we want to slap it in your face whenever we can.
These guys definitely have esteem issues and they are taking it out on you. They don't want to lose and by making you feel small, they feel bigger.
Its them you should be pitying. Never yourself.
Lastly, guys who physically abuse women - be it their girlfriends or wives, mothers or sisters; a man is the protector, never the aggressor. And guys who hit women are f*cktards. Bloody cowards who are the scums on this earth.
There will never be an excuse to hit a woman. Ever.
I was really appalled when my female friends were narrating how their ex-boyfriends used to hit them (don't let me see them again, I'm going to personally kick their ass). This is just so inexcusable.
Not a push or a shove. Not even a strand of hair should be pulled, let alone an ear be bitten.
Chris Brown really deserves jail time.
Lets see how he likes it when someone or some people in prison hold him down in a headlock and munch on his ears.

Something to make you smile... at work.
Time: 3/08/2009 12:45:00 AM
Laugh out loud, I sure did.Workplace Dares
ONE-POINT DARES
1. Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you.
2. To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears.
3. Leave your fly open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say,"Sorry,I really prefer it this way".
4. Walk sideways to the photocopier.
5. While riding in an lift, gasp dramatically every time the doors open.
6. When in the lift with one other person, tap them on the shoulder and pretend it wasn't you.
7. Finish all your sentences with "In accordance with the prophecy...
8. Don't use any punctuation.
9. Interrupt your conversation with someone by giving a huge dejected sigh.
10. Use your highlighter pen on the computer screen.
THREE-POINT DARES
1. Say to your boss, "I like your style", wink, and shoot him with double-barrelled fingers.
2. Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle.
3. Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
4. Every time you get an email, shout ''email''.
5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has got over his or her caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
6. Keep hole punching your finger. Each time you do, shout,"dagnamit, it's happened again!". Then do it again.
7. Introduce yourself to a new colleague as "the office bicycle". Then wink and pout.
8. Call I.T. helpdesk and tell them that you can't seem to access any pornography web sites.
FIVE-POINT DARES
1. At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem (extra points if you actually launch into it yourself).
2. Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.
3. For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as "Dave".
4. Announce to everyone in a meeting that you "really have to go do a number two".
5. When you've picked up a call, before speaking finish off some fake conversation with the words, ''she can abort it for all I care''.
6. After every sentence, say 'Mon' in a really bad Jamaican accent. As in: "The report's on your desk, Mon." Keep this up for one hour.
7. In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up, damn it, all of you just shut up!"
8. At lunchtime, get down on your knees and announce, "As God is my witness, I'll never go hungry again!"
9. Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person: "Do you hear that?" "What?" "Never mind, it's gone now."
10. Present meeting attendees with a cup of coffee and biscuit; smash each biscuit with your fist.
11. During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards the door.
12. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
13. Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer.
14. While a colleague is writing, grab their pen and throw it out of the nearest open window.
