don't be lazy!

Ever since I started work, I realized I’m been ignoring the environment. Using my air conditioning to full blast, printing out stuff with no consideration for the number of papers being used. Driving at top speed, chugging down fuel for such short distances.

I’ve never felt guiltier in my life. It is very important for us to be conscious of our rapidly degrading environment.

Here’s a little of what I have done in the recent days:

Stopped using my air conditioning

I try and drive slow (yeah right)

I make sure before I print, there are no errors, hence need not having to re-print.

switch of computers when not in use. (along with the monitors)

Switching of switches instead of just the device that's plugged.

Fueling at night or early in the morning rather than in broad daylight.

Other things you can also do is be a vegetarian.

Vegetarianism helps the environment greatly as animal farming is one of the main contributors to global warming.

You don’t even have to be a complete vegetarian. Eating lesser amounts of meat less frequently can be practiced instead. This may be hard for some, but really, meat is like smoking, you reduce it slowly and eventually you don't need it anymore! Plus don't we love animals??

Walking or cycling instead of using cars would be very much helpful, however in KL where drivers are mad, and the government does not believe in providing bicycle and pedestrian lanes do not help much.

I hope I do not become a hypocrite. I really do try and practice what I preach, but sometimes laziness takes over me. But that shall not happen anymore. I’m gonna buy my sports shoes today!

Oh!
When I have saved up eanough money, I plan to get a can o worm for our house. i just hope it will be as it says. Clean and hassle free.

Change

Change,

This is something many don't accept easily.

A new of doing things.

A new way of living.

A new person.

New tastes.

As you grow older, change becomes hard to accept.

I have seen this so distinctly in some one close to me.

As she grows older, she's unable to accept anything different!

I understand the difficulty in coming to terms with changes, but older people should realise that the times when you were growing up, and when I am growing up is different. They need not be comparable. Just cos I may wanna do different things, doesn't mean I am a bad person. We just have different way of viewing things.

I really do wish that you would read this. Cos then you'd know how I feel.

However, she being older, I must show my respect for her, and be patient with the whole situation as it is one that is very difficult.A lot of emotions are involved, along with many risk factors that come with age.

Life isn't exactly a bed of roses. I shall not complain though, cos there are people out there who don't have the things I do. Who don't have parents to fall back to. Who don't have friends to come rescue them.

I should learn to be grateful for what I have, but I will not settle with what I have. People should always strive to get the better...

Wow, this is pretty contradictory, but weren't we supposed to be content with what we have?

Life is tres confusing no?

Oh well, what ever it is, I know change is a delicate matter, and it has to be brought in slowly. Change is necessary, for that I will hope.

Pres. Obama, come save me!

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.
