After soo long

Woah!

After so long I was having a weekend of nothingness and it never felt better! Friday night, I spent playing with apples and talking to weng!

Saturday morning, I spent the day with my dad apartment hunting, (hopefully i'll be moving in to it)

yea right!
But it was the most perfect apartment I had ever seen! Small, compact, the master bedroom was terribly sexy with a walled mirror right next to the bed!

Towards the night, Tasha and Shirlene came over, played with them apples! then headed out for our supposed movie, but ended up in a club instead!
it was fun! Shirlene drove! and I love it when she drives!

Came back home, had a major confession with weng! ahahahha

Spent sunday morning listening to BFM, yummm but then things got screwed up towards the end, headed out for some chores!

Now i'm back home, supposed to be finishing some charts and I'm yet to start em!
Zomg!
bye!

Tempers

Don't we all have them. You know, if we took time before reacting with our crazy wild emotions, the world would be a much more peaceful place to live in.

Sometimes, when someone/something pisses you off, you tend to say something so harsh.

So it's really important to take time, breathe, get summore oxygen flowing into the brain, then decide what you really want to say.

It's really that simple.

Too bad we don't always do that ... sigh

So, what could help to control our terrible tempers is probably yoga and some meditation...

People = Confusion?

Relationships, these are universal, omnipresent, inevitable.

When you’re born, you’re in a relationship with your mother, father and other siblings, if any. Then you grow older, go to school, you have relationships with your teachers, class mates, make friends, then you progress on to get your on life partner, and there still more relationships to be made.

Now, what if a relationship (romantic and non) goes sour? How do you deal with it?

Do you talk it out? Or should you just cut it off completely?

This is pretty confusing to me.

I see two scenarios.

Scenario 1

A relationship goes bad, you may never want to see the person ever again, and you decide to cut that person out of your life completely.
To me, what I think is that you can do so, leave that other person completely miserable, and move on with life. This would be a healthy option if you are really persistent with moving on with life.
It would be basically like starting fresh all over again.

Scenario 2

In a sour relationship, the other thing you can do, is to talk things out, sort it out, face to face.
Yes, some things are easier to be communicated via other means (texting/email/words) but I strongly feel it’s better said then left unsaid. At least by clearly expressing your feelings to each other, there is no room for ambiguity or doubt.
And if you hate each other, you can still clearly explain to each other that you hate each other, and still end the relationship on good clearly communicated hateful terms. As paradoxical as it seems. Hahaha

But this also got me wondering, what’s the purpose of relationships? Is that a bad question?
I mean, at home, you’re born in to the relationship. At school, you make those relationships, at work, you make relationships as well. Actually it could be forced also heheh. =P I mean you need a job, hence you go to work. Your boss could be a monster, but you have no choice but to put up with his antics.
Then you may find a special someone, and you get into a relationship with him/her.
I guess, it’s so that we have people to share our lives with.

Wow, life is seriously complicated eh. Anyways, me, I like having relationships. But I hate superficial relationships. Where you meet somewhere, go all crazy over each other with air kisses and hugs, and probably never see each other again, till chance plays it role.

I believe in people, the importance of getting to know them, understanding them, loving them. And perhaps if things go wrong somewhere along the way, perhaps a little time apart would help in the healing process.
Because there’s no point hating, it will not get you further in life, it will pull you back.

And if you’re the type of person who doesn’t see the need for relationships with people or animals too (heyyy! I love my dog okay!) then I think change would be nice. Try having a friend.
Friends (this can even be a family member) can pull you up further in life, but they can also bring you down.
So as important as friends are, it is also important that you chose wisely.

My life, hmm, I have soo many family, friends, colleagues and bfm of course. I can say that they have all played role in my life.
Given me information in one way or the other, made me understand life better. Learn new things, etc.
So to any of my family/friends/colleagues/acquaintances, thank YOU! Hope you take time to spend with your loved ones too.
Do it now, then later. Live in the present!

Ps: spend time with your self too… your body’s a temple.

a la Francais!

The French language,

Oh la la…

C’est tres embrouiller!

I don’t even know if that sentence is grammatically correct! Beurgh!

In the French language, there are many forms of tenses.

1. present tense
2. imparfait (imperfect)
2. passé simple
3. future simple (future)
4. passé compose (past tense)
5. plus que parfait

then there’s the issue about subjunctives, what the hell are they used for in the English language it self je ne comprends pas…
so in the subjonctif section, there is present, imparfait, passé and plus que parfait.

Present tense à

This is the first thing you learn when you’re introduced to the French Language.

Oh and another thing, verbs are conjugated based on the individual,

Whether it’s you, me, him/her/them/us…

Je: Me/I
Tu: You
Il/elle/on: Him/Her/It
Nous: We
Vous: You (formal)
Ils/Elles: They

Oh, in addition to making life slightly bit more difficile, they, have different types of verbs!

First there are the regular –er verbs, -ir verbs, -re verbs, then there are the irregular verbs.

The irregular verbs are conjugated differently from the regular verbs.

Now,
Lets take a look at some of the verbs, and their conjugations in present tense.

-er verbs

Some common regular-er verbs would include parler, aimer, regarder, ecouter etc.

(Please excuse the lack of accents, I’m not too familiar with how to insert them at the moment.)

Anyways,

So in the case of regular –er verbs, they would be conjugated accordingly:


Je: e
Tu:: es
Il/elle/on: e
Nous:ons
Vous: ez
Ils/Elles:ent


In other words…
Parler: To Speak
Je Parle
Tu Parles
Il/elle/on Parle
Nous parlons
Vous parlez
Ils/Elles parlent

Aimer: To Like/To Love
Je Aime
Tu aimes
Il/elle/on Aime
Nous aimons
Vous aimez
Ils/Elles aiment

Similarly for:
- regarder: To watch
- ecouter: to hear
- jouer: to play



Then we have the –re verbs…
Sigh
Some common examples of regular –re verbs would include faire.

Je: Is
Tu: Is
Il/elle/on: It
Nous: Ons
Vous: Es
Ils/Elles: ont

So for
Faire: To Do
Je Fais
Tu Fais
Il/elle/on Fait
Nous Faisons
Vous Faites
Ils/Elles font


Okay, so this isn’t your regular –er verbs, will get back to you on this once I’ve cleared it up.

Next moving on to Regular –IR verbs.
These include finir, choisir, obeir, reflechir,remplir, reussir


Je: Is
Tu: Is
Il/elle/on: It
Nous: Ons
Vous: Ez
Ils/Elles: ent


So in the case of
Finir: to finish
Je finis
Tu finis
Il/elle/on finit
Nous finissons
Vous finissez
Ils/Elles finissent

Other verbs include
Choisir: to chose
Obeir:to obey
Reflechir: to think
Remplir: to fill
Reussir : to be successful/ to make a success of

That’s all for now.

I’m kinda getting tired looking at my computer screen.

Useless?

Okay,
When I first started writing this blog, I promised my self I'd make it informative and not talk about myself!

Which I have clerly been doing!

So hopefully, tonight, when I get home from work, I'll be able to update it with something more useful...

Need to Pee!!
Bye

Love or Infatuation?

A person close to me is going through drama...

Sigh, drama, doesn't leave me alone.

Anyways, she and he significant other were thinking about marriage.

But before that,

Another person told me, they should first make sure they're in love and not infatuated with one another.

So, My question is,

What is the difference between Love and Infatuation.

I'd really like to know this.

Before I tell stories...

Kthxbye!

Full to the brim?

Wow,

I'm officially gonna lose all forms of social life,

I have commited my self to not only my twice weekly french classes, I have also offered to teach at my sister's tuition centre, that leaves me only 3 days, (rather 2 nights) of some activity...

OMG, that's supremely sad...

But I reckon, there is still more to be done!

Anyways,

current crazes are:

1. BFM
2. Portishead
3. Massive Attack
4. Bjork
5. Myself

Current Issues:

1. A mom with the empty nest syndrome
2. BFM's car and phone
3. Not spending time for exercise
4. A sister who comes to me for answers (which I don't have)
5. A boss who doesn't spend enough time on me =( , seriously
6. Not enough sleep
7. A dog who's got nobody to play with while I'm at work


Solutions?

1. Spending more time at home, (don't ask doing what)
2. buy another phone? (hopefully I can afford one)
3. Spend fifteen minutes every morning doing sun salutations
4. Refer her to another fellow blogger =) <-- genius right?
5. Keep reading materials...
6. Spending less time on facebook
7. get another dog?? heheh My mom would kill me, and Butler would rape that dog, dedicate sunday nights for him...
