Just idle talk

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

Just watched Ghost Rider this afternoon on YouTube, the quality kinda sucks but its still watchable. Gotta admit that the movie isn’t as lame as I initially thought it would be. It has numerous funny parts in it. Quite entertaining I would say. For those of you who want to catch it on YouTube too, do it quick or it’ll be taken down very soon.

Oh, by the way, I’ve been receiving lots of ’smiles’ from strangers who don’t even bother to write any introduction or greetings at all. I don’t know how they expect me to respond to that so I usually don’t.

I like straightforward people, if you want to be friends, just say so. If you want to insult me, get to the point. Don’t just send me a ’smile’ or a ‘hi’ and leave it as that, it just portrays that you are someone who don’t know what you want or, if you do, you don’t know how to go about doing it (the right way). Either its one of the above reasons or maybe you just suck at spelling or something (that, I can excuse). Or maybe, you think that you are so bloody attractive that a simple ’smile’ or ‘hi’ would trigger me to reply you with a message of a thousand-words asking: Hi! I am so happy that you sent me your dazzling smile. So *touched*! May I know if you are single? Do you have a girlfriend? Don’t tell me you are married or it would break my heart!!! This is my number: 9$^%$^#^$, call me okay? Sms also can! I’ll be waiting for you… (descending echo).

Come’on, get a grip. Vain guys with lots of ‘act cool’ photos turns me off… Intelligent guys with depth turns me on…

Fact or Fiction

Found these on the web… Does anyone know if these really work? Hmmm…

How To Break Up With Someone

You are in a relationship with someone that you are no longer romantically interested in. It’s time to be honest.
Difficulty: Hard
Time Required: 60 minutes

Here’s How:

  1. Get alone with him/her. Don’t do this on the phone!
  2. Relax. You are doing the right thing…s/he needs to know the truth.
  3. Tell him/her that you feel this relationship on its current level needs to end.
  4. Give him/her some time to let it sink in.
  5. If s/he tries to convince you to give him/her another chance, listen to him/her.
  6. Tell him/her that you’ve made up your mind.
  7. Tell him/her at what level you would like to keep your relationship (acquaintences, never-seens, friends, etc).
  8. Listen to his/her response. Respect his/her feelings about this new level
  9. Let him/her go when s/he feels s/he needs to end the conversation.

Tips:

  1. Be honest. Although breakups can be really hard on relationships, honesty will salvage any possible future friendship.
  2. When you’ve realized that you are no longer interested in this person, let him/her know. Don’t drag out a pointless relationship.
  3. Look at this like taking off a band-aid. Would you rather do it fast or slow? Which one hurts more?

How to Break up With Someone Using Style and Sensitivity

We all know breaking up is hard to do. But unless you’re Ross and Rachel, or some teen romance turned happily-ever-after, breakups are an unavoidable part of our lives. And while it’s up to you to decide what your individual breakup style is, if you want to avoid future bad relationship karma, you’ll adopt a few breakup basics.


Steps

  1. Pick an appropriate place. The less public, the better. Remember, ending a relationship is a humbling experience. Don’t do it in a place where the person on the receiving end is going to feel more vulnerable than necessary.
  2. Choose the right time. Avoid holidays and special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries at all costs. Do you really want your ex remembering your insensitivity every time that day rolls around?
  3. Do it in person. If the relationship is relatively new, maybe you can get away breaking up over the phone. But come on, if you’ve been out on more than a handful of dates, isn’t that kind of harsh?
  4. Be honest but sensitive. No one likes to get dumped. But we at least appreciate the truth when it’s over. Unless, of course, the truth is you’ve stopped finding him/her attractive, you’ve met someone better, or that you’re just plain bored with the relationship.
  5. Keep your emotions in check. Don’t seem too happy about the breakup: you’ll come off as mean-spirited. Just be kind, caring, and considerate. If you must, you can high five your friends later.
  6. Don’t react. Some people don’t handle rejection well. Some people yell, scream, cry. Yes, that sucks. But it doesn’t mean you should react to their meltdown. Remember, rejection is tough. You’ve already got the upper hand by being the dumper. Let the dumpee behave ridiculously if they choose to. And if their tantrum escalates, get the heck out of there.



Tips

  • If you handle yourself well during the breakup, chances are you’ll avoid any hard feelings with your ex. And while that may not seem so important at the time, it’s vital to your future relationship karma!
  • The term "break-up" implies a hard stop. But, often, a break-up is really a change in the nature of a relationship, where friendship remains, but a closer physical connection, and a desire to build a life together, is taken away. Try to look at breaking up in a more positive way, and see how it can transform your relationship.
  • Think about why you want to break up with them (e.g., you may suspect/hear rumors that they are cheating on you). Ask them FIRST. Everybody hates when you break up with them for a reason that isn’t even true.
  • Think about how maybe if you want out, they might too. Ask them where they think it’s going. If something is making being together painful, tell them that being together is hurting you (e.g., long-distance relationships).



Warnings

  • Many relationships decay because one partner becomes emotionally needy, which causes the other to lose attraction. After a breakup like this, you may want to help and support your ex. In the long run, they will be better off if you keep some distance at first, so they can learn to cope on their own and become stronger because of it. Be prepared though, because they may decide to cope by finding a rebound.
  • Weigh in carefully on your decision to break up, without analyzing it to death. Is this really what your heart wants? You may not be able to reverse your decision once it’s made, and you may burn bridges in the process. Could you forgive yourself if you broke up with the man/woman of your dreams?
  • Avoid cliches. If the person has heard it before, it may come off as insensitive

Amusing people all around…

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

I was idly browsing through some profiles the other day and it occurred to me that many girls (some guys as well), enjoy posting multiple pictures of themselves striking a similar pose, dressed in the same outfit and with the same background. I just find it kinda amusing and don’t really get the point. Its like if you browse through their album in the slide show view fast enough, it may have a slight resemblance to a C-grade animation clip. You know how animators did it the old fashion way? Drawing a character with slightly different postures on many sheets of paper and then flipping them through real fast? LOL. And if you flip the pages back and forth repeatedly, the character may even appear to be having a seizure or something. Hilarious.

However, profiles like these are still more interesting than many guys album (especially those who likes to post trillions of pictures of different cars owned by some other rich guy). Seriously, if I wanted to look at that, I could have browsed through all the different car catalogs on-line. They have better quality pictures too.

Yawn, anyway I am just blogging crap. If you are someone like that and you are reading this entry, no offense. Keep posting those pictures! Your fans are eagerly waiting for the next installment! Cheers.

GET THE MESSAGE!

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

If your Friendster nickname is BUBBLEGUMWAX and if your primary picture looks like this: Bubblegumwax 

Please DO NOT send me anymore messages. I have told you many, many times not to bother me and you have promised to stay away many, many times but after a few weeks/months, you will pop up with some weird message again! Are you really suffering from short-term memory or are you doing this on purpose to annoy me? Seriously, I have nothing against you but your messages are too weird for my liking and quite disturbing okay? So please for the good of god, STOP BOTHERING ME! Amen.

Single for REAL

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

I am sick and tired of people messaging me in Friendster to ask if I am REALLY single and if I am joking about being single! What’s up with that? I mean, what is so bad about being single anyway? You guys make it sound like a disease or something. Come’on, not all girls are that desperate to get attached, I’d rather wait for the right one than to get myself involved with the wrong one. That would be a horrible mess (not to mention with lots of ‘heart-breaking-brawling-my-eyes-out sessions’)!

Anyway, Michelle Huang IS TRULY SINGLE. For now.
