Super Virus!

I used to take pride in the fact that I rarely used to get sick. My best streak was 3 years without getting ill.

This year is payback it seems! I've been sick 3 times already and I feel the 4th coming on. I'm taking meds and vitamins to try to fight off the bug before it totally takes over my system. Fingers crossed that I win.

Anyone else experiencing anything similar?

Hairy Matter

** blog has moved to http://www.msb73.com/ **

So when did big spiky hair become fashion for boys? (I say boys because I just cannot associate a 'man' with hair like that!)

Regular spiky hair is fine, but have you gone to the mall recently? It's like they're competing against each other on who can get the higher standing, gel drenched, non-manly hair style possible!

Step away from that gel! Please.

Matter of Trust

Some couples share their passwords as a sign of trust. I know of girls who actually log on to their significant others' accounts (email, messenger, etc) and actually chat with people on their list without disclosing that it's her not him on the account - on a regular basis!

Here's a bit of advice: if you need to reach to those lengths to make sure he's not cheating on you, he should dump you faster than he can blink! There's nothing healthy about a relationship like that.

Another Year Bites the Dust!

As each year approaches its end, I find myself bewildered at how fast time had flown. It surely can't be another year's end? I then recall what I had thought I'd accomplish during the year. Without fail, reality always falls short of my expectations.

This coming year, 2009, I will expect nothing. Surely, without expectations, one "shouldn't" get disappointed.. right? (Dammit! Expecting nothing is still an expectation?! Uff.. back to the drawing board!)

Enjoy what's left of 2008! It's not over till it's over.

One Day

One Day, I will go to the gym..
One Day, I will change my look..
One Day, I will clean my room..
One Day, I will visit all those countries on my 'to visit' list..
One Day, I will learn all those languages on my 'to learn' list..
One Day, the World will be a better place..
One Day, the stupid stock market will be green again..
One Day, that One Day will come!!

Annoying Sounds!

I was in the middle of a conversation when this noise in the background started to distract me. It was incessant and started to really get on my nerves. As I turned towards the source, I realized... it was my alarm clock waking me up from a dream!

Redirect!

So you think the World owes you something.. and you somehow think that you've done nothing to deserve what has happened to you. You feel like you're the victim and people just don't truly appreciate you for who you are and what you stand for.

Stop complaining!

If you feel you've gotten the short end of the stick, go and get a bigger stick. If you feel like he/she isn't treating you right, then either fix it or walk away. If you feel confused because you aren't sure where you stand, ask.

Yes, it's always easier said than done, but 'doing' isn't impossible. It just takes determination. So next time you start feeling sorry for yourself, use that energy to do rather than feel.

Iron Man

I wasn't sure what to expect with this movie, but I loved it. Robert Downey Jr was terrific! Not so sure about Gweneth Paltrow though.

Can't wait for the second part! Hope they maintain a similar standard.

How Much?

We all have a certain number of nerves and some people manage to work your last one. My question is, how much is too much? How much can you tolerate - whether it be a person, a job, a situation you're dealing with? And has your tolerance level changed over the years?

Personally, I used to put up with so much. No clue how I did it. Eventually, I guess I realized how rare a commodity time is. Hence, my tolerance took a steep drop. Yet, I wonder sometimes, has it gone too far? How do you know when your tolerance level is too low and impractical?

Goggles!

Throughout life, we meet many different types of people. Some who leave absolutely no mark, some who entertain us for a while, and some who leave ever lasting impressions. Regardless of the circumstances, it is important to meet all those different types as they help mold your outlook towards life and make you appreciate the good people in your life even more.

Thing is, there are many times where we let our emotions and fears override everything else. Don't get me wrong, I'm an advocate of emotion. Without it, not much differentiates us from a rock on the street. Yet, we need to develop over time some sensor that enables us to control that emotion enough so that it doesn't rule our life. Why? Because emotions have a way of blinding our vision and making us take decisions that we may regret later on when the emotions have cooled off or subsided.

That said, it's always easier said than done. It just takes time and experience to eventually teach us the hard way. For me, sometimes it's a matter of weighing things out and some people are just not worth losing over emotions that we can't control.
