 | She... | Dec 1, '07 11:34 AM
for everyone |
Dark years have I endured
Left me scarworned and battered
Violent skies are always near
Screams at me at the ears
A sudden break in the sky
Gives me a little to hope by
She came without a warning
And left me more than yearning
Love is blind, as they say,
Love blinds, I would say!
Is she the right one for me?
Or I am blinded, I prithee?
Looking up to the skies
Searching for an answer nigh
But all that I've seen
Are more questions, at the seams
Compromises! Sacrifices!
She asked of me
Understanding and some time!
I asked of she
Families and blessings
Hangs on uncertainty
Futures and plannings
Clouded but dainty
Should I give the go ahead?
With warning bells tolling in my head?
Should I skip the steep hill?
Despite her firm will?
Or should I climb MY mountain?
That is veiled and curtained
Strenuous at least
Killing at best?
Can I find the answer in due time?
Is there a path in the extreme climb?
Or am I doomed to fail
More dark years, coming that flails?
Is time really a remedy?
To help find my key?
Or is it an enemy?
That will break me | Monopoly | Jul 11, '07 3:38 AM
for everyone |
No dudes, not the board game. I am talking about monopolising in a business sense. As in monopolising a market for instance. The other day, me and some friends were talking about monopoly and competition. I was saying that there is more to competition (and monopoly) in life and in business. Back then, I didn't know what I was talking about and all I can say was, I just believe that there is more than competition but I don't know how to explain it when asked why. Why doesn't really matter. At least to me. That's how I lead my life. But nevertheless, I kinda made them angry (and was accussed of not speaking my mind and thus a conversation killer), so I will try to explain what was going on in my mind. Definition Monopoly means, owning/controlling all or nearly all of the available market for a specific product/service/commodity (in business sense). Definition's simple enough. Let's see the ways of achieving it (as far as I know, anyway) Ways of Monopolising 1) Be the first in the market. (First)
Example: Market demands for a specific service to be introduced. You are the first to provide these services. (Pet grooming for instance) 2) Create your own market. (Creating)
Example: You create something entirely new and offer to the open market. (Computers perhaps?) 3) Hoarding
Example: Buy up all available silver in the world. You now have monopoly over silver. 4) Competing
Example: Your neighbourhood only has one sundry shop. Good business. Your eyes grow red and you set up one right next to it. Simple enough, ain't it? The concept anyway. Thing is, market, monopoly and the 4 ways describe to achieve monopoly are closely connected. Example: You offer poetry-grams (poetry telegrams heh) (First and Creating). Then someone else thought that, hey this guy might be on to something, become the second in the market (Competing). Then you offer more new stuffs, never seen before to the market to maintain the monopoly (Creating) (Curse-grams perhaps?). Then that guy in turn, buy up all the telegram providers (Hoarding). Well, there's an unending loop there. Always trying to one up your rivals. That's life, isn't it? Thoughts I openly disagree to the statement: "That's life". That's why I said there's more to life than competing. It's a vicious cycle. A cycle that will more or less lead to suffering (related parties, health, etc). So life's about suffering? I don't believe that! I don't really know how to explain it but deep down, I feel that our purpose is not so puny. We are all so insignificant in a miniscule world within a very very huge space that might be filled with all kinds of wonders and life, and our main purpose is to topple the other guy or die trying? Does God (no, I'm not a religious person) really intend for us to just bicker around and wait for the moment of death? You might say that, hey, if I don't do it, someone else will and I will get trampled along the way. Exactly the thinking of mass hoarding of weapons of mass destruction! If it is wrong in a big, larger sense, then it should be wrong in a smaller scale as well. There's no difference in it. Makes no sense. You are just justifying your actions, ie giving excuses. So there, I've given you my reasons on believing that there is another solution other than competition. Not much of an explanation but it's the closest thing that I can relate you guys to. There's something fundamentally different (wrong?) about me so, if it is not acceptable by your standards, or I don't operate within your perimeter of acceptable behaviour and thinking, then I'm sorry that this is me. I'm not about to change the very essence of me. PS: Man this is so serious. Chill out la! Lesson learned: Don't talk fundamental thinking to engineers and businessmen. Too much for them to handle and too much whys involved :/ ...the tough gets going.....as the saying goes. I need a slap of some sort to get me going. Somebody give me a slap! Incidentally, I need a lemonade too while you're at it. (scroll) (scroll) (scroll) (scroll) (scroll) (scroll) (scroll) (scroll) (scroll) (Am I weird or what?)

(Some Gal) says: :P Key Areas of your Personality
Your personality stands out from the average person's particularly in the areas of:
- Your High Curiosity Level
- Your High Emotional Reactivity Level
- Your Low Distractibility
- Your High Need for Variety
One chapter of your 100-page Personality Report is dedicated to how you compare to the average woman and the average man in the 8 main areas of personality, and how this affects the way that people interact with you.
Subset of your Personality Measurement:
| Social Need |
 |
|
| Openness |
|
|
| Approval Need |
|
|
| Ability to Focus |
|
|
| Emotionality |
|
|
| Reliance on Intuition |
|
|
| Tolerance for Change |
|

Your personality is made up of a unique pattern of traits. These traits impact the way you think, feel, and behave on an everyday basis. In your report you will read a detailed explanation of each of your core personality traits, including your strengths and challenge points.
Your Interaction Style:
You scored 95 in the area of extroversion/ introversion, which means that your energy is directed primarily outward - towards other people and things- rather than inward. You gain energy, rather than lose energy, by moving and interacting. It is essential that your work environment matches your extroversion/ introversion tendency, otherwise you won't feel happy.
Social patterns: You are right-brained when it comes to interacting with people and recognizing emotions in other people.
What does this mean? Since there is a 'cross-over' in the human brain for visual information, it means that you tend to focus on the left side of a person's face when you want to figure out what they are thinking and feeling.
Hearing preferences are an interesting exception to this right-left crossover rule. For example, if two people were talking behind a closed door and you needed to put your ear on the door to eavesdrop, it's likely that you would use your right ear instead of your left. Alright, I confess. Every time I see her, I get this really deep sensation in me (no, not THERE...). Behold! I found my One True Desire™! Why do I term it the One True Desire™? Let's break it down into manageable parts: One - meaning uno, the only, number right after zero (0) True - not false, the truth, no doubt about it Desire - subject of craving for something/someone So there, I've got this one really really sacred/deep/undeniable/cross-my-heart-and-hope-to-die desire. It's a someone! She's this sweet sweet girl who had some links to major parts of my life! Example:
- She was the same class as me in KINDERGARTEN...yes folks...the nursery school (didn't know this till very late)
- Heard of her since High School (she was another bloke's girl that time....feck she still IS another bloke's girl)
- We go to the same university (granted, I didn't get that much of a chance to talk to her)
- She lives very near my place
- She bumped into me in front of my house
- I bumped into her in front of her house (swear to God I'm not a stalker! I was there for an evening stroll!)
- I sent her flowers on one of her birthdays (to her office too....)
- Bumped into each other in a wedding
Danggit, her picture pops up every now and then in my friends' blogs/pictures/etc. Can't get her out of my head! Object of fantasizing....ummmm.....SIZING and FANTASY and....oh well, you get the drill. No, I believe it's not love. It's also not entire lust either. It's just a desire. But heck it's helluva desire! Can't believe it's October already. What have I achieved this year? Did I keep my promises to myself and others from the previous year? Did I learn anything to further my goals?
With a blink of an eye, November and December is just around the corner. This year I had experienced the wonderful feeling of being with someone special and feeling dejected and down by being turned down by the same person. I also turned down a damned obvious hint from another person to break my....er....duck as well. Ironically the reason I turned her down has already expired.
When there's none, there's utter dryness. When there's one, they're utterly flowing. Don't really understand it but I wish that relationships could be simplified a little further. I kept thinking that if I were to keep on looking for the 'Bigger Better Deal', I'll never get it, so I poured myself to only one. Suffice to say, I got burnt in the end. And for an unacceptable reason as well. Can't one just say it out clearly as to not leave any doubts? A 'No' will do better than 'No, because <insert nonsense reasons here>'.
Well, my 26 years of life is coming to a close in about 3 months or so. Friends are getting married (not that I'm thinking about it) and responsibilities are piling in. I think I should focus my energies on something else. Like making my life unmiserable for instance. Or just making some extra money.
The little motto kept coming back to me after all these years: 'Be Yet Wiser'. That motto has not played a pivotal role in my life even when I was reading and looking at it everyday during my highschool life. After close to 10 years leaving that life behind, I come to realisation that that motto was the most important lesson in the whole of my highschool years. | Fused | Oct 9, '06 6:04 AM
for everyone |
When people take you for a ride
And when friends who always ask you to drive
When the fucking indons give us haze
And when our moron politicians are in a daze
You get a very short fuse...
When people think you can be pressured
To do things while they leisure
When a boy is asked to do a man's job
And caused delays and losses to another poor sod
You get a very very short fuse instead....
-Fuming- What is life without a good laugh? Here's to the problems of the world....
Debra Or Jack?
The Boss was in quandary. He had to fire somebody. He had it narrowed down to one of two people, Debra or Jack. It was an impossible decision, they were both super workers. Rather than flip a coin, he decided he would fire the first one who used the water cooler the next morning.
Debra came in the next morning with a horrible hang-over after partying all night. She went to the cooler to take an aspirin. The Boss approached her and said: " Debra, I've never done this before, but I have to lay you or Jack off." "Could you jack off?" she says. "I feel like shit."
Fascinate
The teacher asked her students to use the word 'fascinate' in a sentence. Mary said, "My family went to the New York City Zoo, and we saw all the animals. It was fascinating."
The teacher said, "That was good, but I wanted the word 'fascinate'."
Sally raised her hand. She said, "My family went to the Philadelphia Zoo and saw the animals. I was fascinated."
The teacher said, "Good, but I wanted the word 'fascinate'."
Little Johnny Siebert raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because Johnny was noted for his bad language. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word 'fascinate' so she called on him.
Johnny said, "My sister has a sweater with 10 buttons, but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight."
Cop On Horse
A City cop was on his horse waiting to cross the street when a little girl on her new shiny bike stopped beside him. "Nice bike," the cop said "did Santa bring it to you?" "Yep," the little girl said, "he sure did!" The cop looked the bike over and handed the girl a $5 ticket for a safety violation.The cop said, "Next year tell Santa to put a reflector light on the back of it." The young girl looked up at the cop and said, "Nice horse you got there sir, did Santa bring it to you?" "Yes, he sure did," chuckled the cop. The little girl looked up at the cop and said, "Next year tell Santa the dick goes underneath the horse, not on top."
Just Mustard
A blonde goes into a laundry mat and asks to have her sweater cleaned. The laundromat attendant doesn't hear her correctly and says, "come again?" The blonde blushes slightly and giggles, "oh, no it's just mustard this time."
The Ballerina
A large woman, wearing a sleeveless sun dress, walked into a bar in Alabama. She raised her right arm, revealing a huge, hairy armpit as she pointed to all the people sitting at the bar and asked, "What man here will buy a lady a drink?" The bar went silent as the patrons tried to ignore her. But down at the end of the bar, an owly-eyed drunk slammed his hand down on the counter and bellowed, "Give the ballerina a drink!" The bartender poured the drink and the woman chugged it down.She turned to the patrons and again pointed around at all of them, revealing the same hairy armpit, and asked, "What man here will buy a lady a drink?" Once again, the same little drunk slapped his money down on the bar and said, "Give the ballerina another drink!" The bartender approached the little drunk and said, "I say, old chap, it's your business if you want to buy the lady a drink, but why do you keep calling her the ballerina?" The drunk replied, "any woman who can lift her leg that high has got to be a ballerina!"
Drunk Husbands
Two married buddies are out drinking one night when one turns to the other and says, "You know, I don't know what else to do. Whenever I go home after we've been out drinking, I turn the headlights off before I get to the
driveway. I shut off the engine and coast into the garage. I take my shoes off before I go into the house, I sneak up the stairs, I get undressed in the bathroom. I ease into bed and my wife STILL wakes up and yells at me for staying out so late!"
His buddy looks at him and says, "Well, you're obviously taking the wrong approach. I screech into the driveway, slam the door, storm up the steps, throw my shoes into the closet, jump into bed, rub my hands on my wife's ass and say, 'Lets do it!' And, she's always sound asleep." Balance....
Life is all about balance. Extremeties will surely lead to disappointments and failures. There must be balance in everything you do. That doesn't mean that you must stand on top of the fence (as the BM saying goes, 'atas pagar') but you must sometimes that the darker path, and sometimes take the lighter path. Oh, when I mean darker path, I really mean things like sometimes you must give punishment to those whom deserve it, ignore those that don't really deserve your time, sacrifice something/someone even though that person or something is dear to you and so on.
What if the balance is disturbed? Well, you can see the effects in our everyday lives. Too many cars on the road (without proper management and maintenance)= traffice jam, too much industrial waste (without correct offset of precautions and clean ups) = pollution. What more to say when our very livelihood is at the mercy of balance? Even nature itself seeks balance. You can very much see the examples in the climate, the plant and animal lives, even lifeless terrains.
Steps to take to ensure balance in life:
1) Don't dwell in extremeties. Try not to go for paths that is considered points of no return.
2) Be aware of your emotions. Try not to tip the balance. Sometimes you should be emotional and sometimes you have to be cold.
3) Take moderation in risks. Mix and match higher and lower risks...don't just take the moderate risks all the way.
4) Moderation is the key. Success will come eventually.
Currently, this is the life lessons that I am trying to practice. Still, I am human so I cannot follow this points to the dot 100%, but that's ok, because you need to moderate in that as well :)
Lastly, thine life is thy own, as the saying goes. I just feel like sharing this to people that I know (and people that I don't but would like to know). Your results: You are Spider-Man

Our Love
Our love is...,
not based on sight
nor based on touch
not based on the time we call each other
nor based on the moments we spent together
Our love is much, much more than that!
Our love is...,
not just about the words spoken
nor just about the action taken
not only about the memories we share together
nor only about the future we are building together
Our love is anything but just that!
Rather our love is...,
based on the feelings we have for each other
the thought that we are made for each other
the unspoken faith we have for one another
the tingling sense, the subtle bright sparks, the powerful force,
that binds us together,
THAT is what our love is.

Forgive me God for I have sinned,
Ever your instrument, I want to be,
Ever your humble servant, I swore to thee,
Love me and show me the way,
Make my worries go away,
Your omni-presence guides my instincts,
Blessings from thee, controls my feelings,
Raged with anger and lust I had,
Eaten and consumed by jealousy I add,
Asks for help, I had come to thee
Save me from evil that I had come to be
Take away these unholy thoughts,
Show me the way, that you have taught.
