More Bitching in Order

I detest people with no morals and you are one of them.



To read this post, please here and if you dont have my password, then you really shouldn't be reading it or you can try your luck and email me for the password. You can guess the password.

I took this post away to my other blog because a good friend of mine advised me against posting after reading it. Oh well.. I love nomadlife but I am no longer a student who is allowed to rage against the world. I am working and I have to learn to keep some things out of sight to the public eye.

But everyone is still entitled to my opinion. Ha Ha Ha Ha. As I continue to blog, I will link the new posts each time I have no choice but to bring my blog over to wordpress. If not, you will still see my blogs here. I love my nomadlife address too much.

Cheers,
Celine

Hypocrites, love them, hate them, stay away from them... they are among us

Lets face it, we are hypocrites. All of us, to a certain degree we are hypocrites. Us, my fellow human species, when we say is not about 'something' it is...

Take for example, when customers come to me in the store and say, Its not about the discount or the money, its a matter of principle. It is, its always about the money.... they didnt enjoy a specifc discount and they are unhappy and are too proud to say so !

Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to a belief or behaviour while holding the opposite beliefs or behaviours at the same time. (thanks wiki) and hypocrisy is the root of all evil and office politics.

Just like we have black ants, army ants, red ants. We have different kinds of hypocrites.

Hypocrites Type 1: the-pretend-to-be-brave, I-can-handle-it-kind.
I have friends who say "Its ok... tell me the truth, I can handle it." and when you stupidly do, they smile at you on the surface and looks at you different when you meet them agin... so... please my dear friends, especially the ladies, toughen up, stop whinning and when you ask for the truth, be prepared to get an answer you might not expect. ( And to all the naive people out there who hands over the truth too easily, you are asking for trouble. )

Hypocrites Type 2: the-I-am-friends-with-everyone-kind.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the scary kind ( unless they are bad actors, look at the 3rd kind ). They are friends with everyone ! they joke with everyone! they are in every gossip circle you can possibly imagine. They know which 'victim' is dating / marrying whom before the poor victim can summon up enough courage to ask the girl out on a date. On one hand, they are your 'best friend' agree with you and promise to guard all your secrets and behind you.... you are worth no more than 'the piece of tissue you just blew your nose in'. They bitch about other people in front of you, but still play nice in front of others... Seriously, if you hate someone, dont be afriad to show it ! ( sometimes i feel like slapping them )

Hypocrites Type 3: NON-Oscar-award-winners-kind
Those just crash and burn.. its ok... we can spot them from miles away... and we avoid them.... simple...

So.... thought of the day for all of us : Can you handle the truth ?

You want the truth ? You can't handle the truth. from A Few Good Men

Who's the stalker ?

Article Taken from Daily Mail

white-shark-kayakTpeschak
Photo from South Africa's Great White Shark, by Thomas Peschak and Michael Scholl.

Alone in his tiny plastic sea kayak, marine biologist Trey Snow had hoped to stealthily track a great white shark. But he had the shock of his life when he spotted a giant fin and realised it was he who was being stalked - by surely one of the most feared killers in the world.

The magnificent creature initially dived to the seabed, inspecting the kayak from below, before rising menacingly to the surface. Luckily for Trey, the 13ft-long shark was more inquisitive than hungry.

Which leads me to think about how many times, life turns about and bites us in the ass ? *not even trying for a pun here* Ha Ha Ha

A quote for thoughts

There's one quote from Grey's and one that makes me think and feel alive today...

MEREDITH: "Human beings need a lot of things to feel alive."
GEORGE: "Family."
CRISTINA: "Love."
IZZIE: "Sex."
DEREK: "But we only need one thing"
RICHARD: "To actually be alive."
CRISTINA: "We need a beating heart."
ADDISON: "When our heart is threatened"
ALEX: "We respond in one of two ways."
GEORGE: "We either run or-"
IZZIE: "We attack."

RICHARD: "There's a scientific term for this."
ALEX: "Fight..."
ADDISON: "...or flight."
MIRANDA: "It's instinct."
MEREDITH: "We can't control it."
IZZIE: "Or can we?"


As I get more and more involved with the alumni and the mentoring project, working with over 150 people under my care, school and friends. I realised that a lot of people around me tend to 'Flight' instead of Fight when a challenging situtation arises, a lot of people chose the easy way out. They justify their reasons for taking flight as " Its a small matter ", " I chose to not fight what people think of me, I dont care", "If that is what they think, its fine. They have their opinions".

Here's what I think, logically, if a situtation doesnt work in your favor, take flight, it is a basic human instinct. But in life, it is about challenging the status quo, pushing yourself to do just a little bit more, showing the rest of the world that they were wrong to stereotype you and believe in yourself.

This might be one of the reasons why I enjoy my time with AIESEC, everyone in AIESEC pushes themselves just a little more, go just a little further to see where life leads and brings you.

So... my thoughts for today, be driven, challenge and be challenged. Go out there and change the world.

---------------------------------------------

ENTJ

Hardly more than two percent of the total population, the Fieldmarshals are bound to lead others, and from an early age they can be observed taking command of groups . ENTJs have a natural tendency to marshall and direct. This may be expressed with the charm and finesse of a world leader or with the insensitivity of a cult leader. The ENTJ requires little encouragement to make a plan. One ENTJ put it this way... "I make these little plans that really don't have any importance to anyone else, and then feel compelled to carry them out." While "compelled" may not describe ENTJs as a group, nevertheless the bent to plan creatively and to make those plans reality is a common theme for NJ types.

ENTJs are often "larger than life" in describing their projects or proposals. This ability may be expressed as salesmanship, story-telling facility or stand-up comedy. In combination with the natural propensity for filibuster, our hero can make it very difficult for the customer to decline.
TRADEMARK: -- "I'm really sorry you have to die." (I realize this is an overstatement. However, most Fs and other gentle souls usually chuckle knowingly at this description.)

ENTJs are decisive. They see what needs to be done, and frequently assign roles to their fellows. Few other types can equal their ability to remain resolute in conflict, sending the valiant (and often leading the charge) into the mouth of hell. When challenged, the ENTJ may by reflex become argumentative. Alternatively (s)he may unleash an icy gaze that serves notice: the ENTJ is not one to be trifled with.

ENTP

"Clever" is the word that perhaps describes ENTPs best. The professor who juggles half a dozen ideas for research papers and grant proposals in his mind while giving a highly entertaining lecture on an abstruse subject is a classic example of the type. So is the stand-up comedian whose lampoons are not only funny, but incisively accurate.

ENTPs are usually verbally as well as cerebrally quick, and generally love to argue--both for its own sake, and to show off their often-impressive skills. They tend to have a perverse sense of humor as well, and enjoy playing devil's advocate. They sometimes confuse, even inadvertently hurt, those who don't understand or accept the concept of argument as a sport.

ENTPs are as innovative and ingenious at problem-solving as they are at verbal gymnastics; on occasion, however, they manage to outsmart themselves. This can take the form of getting found out at "sharp practice"--ENTPs have been known to cut corners without regard to the rules if it's expedient -- or simply in the collapse of an over-ambitious juggling act. Both at work and at home, ENTPs are very fond of "toys"--physical or intellectual, the more sophisticated the better. They tend to tire of these quickly, however, and move on to new ones.

ENTPs are basically optimists, but in spite of this (perhaps because of it?), they tend to become extremely petulant about small setbacks and inconveniences. (Major setbacks they tend to regard as challenges, and tackle with determin- ation.) ENTPs have little patience with those they consider wrongheaded or unintelligent, and show little restraint in demonstrating this. However, they do tend to be extremely genial, if not charming, when not being harassed by life in general.
In terms of their relationships with others, ENTPs are capable of bonding very closely and, initially, suddenly, with their loved ones. Some appear to be deceptively offhand with their nearest and dearest; others are so demonstrative that they succeed in shocking co-workers who've only seen their professional side. ENTPs are also good at acquiring friends who are as clever and entertaining as they are. Aside from those two areas, ENTPs tend to be oblivious of the rest of humanity, except as an audience -- good, bad, or potential.

my seduction style

Sunday, January 07, 2007

I have a group of friends and that I hang out with from time to time and each time we decide to meet up, a couple of them is always late. Its fine to be late from time to time and its fine to be 5 to 10 minutes late and if you call earlier on to explain that you are going to be late. But…. 10 minutes dragged on to 15 and 15 to 30 minutes.

After a while, 30 minutes is the norm and 45 minutes becomes acceptable ! And all that talk about 'punctuality is a virtue' is now out of the window. I have known this group of friends for 3 – 10 years now.

Given that we meet about twice a month, and each time I spend 30 minutes waiting for them,
45minutes X 12 months X 4 years = 2160 minutes
2160 minutes is 36 hours which is 1.5 days !

and this is calculation without exaggeration,

If I were to make someone wait for me for 1.5 day. I would be surprise to still see the person there, in fact, I would be surprise to still see the person after 2 hours !

I would wait because there was a traffic jam, or it started to rain and you could not get the cab.

But I would not wait when you set the time to meet at 7.15pm and you are STILL at home at 7.15pm because you want to doll-up, or you arrive at 7.15pm but everyone is late so you decide to be later by going shopping and arrive at 7.45pm, or you set the time to meet at 5.30 but you think everyone is going to be late, so 'its ok' if I am late, worst still, its fine to be late because we made reservations and Celine is going to be on time to make sure we keep the reservations ya ?

So my dear friends, I am not being anal and I am not being a tight-ass, I just wish you take into consideration that I do not intend to spend a good part of my life just waiting for you, I do not want to be the b*tch that has to bring the matter up. Be considerate that I value my time and I would wait 5 or 10 minutes.

And don't you dare tell me "When you stop giving a crap about all that, you start having fun" because how fun it it to have to wait around for 45 minutes ! ( and people call me a nerd because I carry a book around to the pubs, and no.. i am not sorry for carrying that small little purse that hardly contains anything intellectual) and I remember how you guys got angry when a certain someone else was late. And to that someone who made a joke about meeting up less, its not even remotely funny. [ And I am still waiting for that apology. ] Side note : none of you ever said sorry for being late !

Maybe Glenn was right, maybe I should turn up late on your wedding day and say : Opps ! I didn't think you are going to start on time !

On that note, I am going to stop talking about late-ness but the next time I have to wait 30 minutes again, do not expect me to smile and say hello nicely.
