indignantly like…what’s wrong with our appearance? Why we have to so busy thinking about how we should appear in front anybody? They have no right to judge me just from my appearance. They should get to know me better rather than busy pointing out what should I wear and such.
Sadly, appearance does something that people look for getting that first impression. Naturally, after a while we can separate those are gorgeous but shallow from plain simple but brilliant. However, if you want people to attract with what you are selling or opinion then yes, appearance does becoming number one priority.

The show once gave example about a woman who dress…let us just say inappropriate for public display especially in front of children. This woman has great idea about sport program from kids. At first, the audience has not seen this woman. So the idea was presented by someone else. When the audience asked whether they like the idea and agree that their children would be participated…most of them say yes. But when that woman presented to the audience most of them change their mind. As they said they were not comfortable with the way she dress up and do not want their children hanging out with this woman. Pity, right? They have not known her very well and already judge her by her clothes.
The only people who able to tolerate us is only our friends as they have known us inside and outside. And they are also the one who know we are not as horrific as we look from our appearance.

Opposite from the above, I once took my parents dining out together in this fancy restaurant. At first we were excited with the meal because they were decorated so beautifully and tastefully. We have this some kind of imagination that when we start to put this food on our mouth we will have this exciting feeling… It turn out, the meals were not as good as their appearance. My Dad even commented that this is how people do nowadays. They are so busy with their appearance only. With the meal, the appearance was appealing but the taste was disappointing. They do not care about what’s important inside. What would you feel after that? You feel cheated, right? And probably would never want to go there anymore. Same with people, I suppose. We attracted to beautiful people but when we found out how gruesome they really are…we will extracted ourselves and would not want to have anything to do with them.

I think yes we should be bothered with our experience especially when our life depends on it. But let us not forget the beauty that comes from inside that is our personality. When we are able to combine them both, it will be perfection.

Easy to say rather than being done… Let’s try it together, shall we? ;)

THE PAST

My friend and I were chatting about her boss last night. She told me that her boss always think that he is the right, never did something wrong, do not want to hear other people’s opinion, not caring other people’s need and in short sort of a kind of person who think only about himself… (I am not judging, just telling the story… ^__^ )

Anyway, I joked with her saying that hopefully one day when we becoming supervisor of other people or have to manage other people, we will not be like her boss…being utterly obnoxious to other people… She then laughed and said maybe her boss totally forgot her past when he was still a small time clerk who try climbing the ladder to success…

Come to think of it… why people do not want to be reminded of their life in the past? Well, we can think of so many reasons…
Probably shame of their previous life? Maybe they have done something wrong or not as per moral society demand them to do… So, they do not like to be reminded about it as it would have embarrassed them.

Probably they try to forget… Forget the pain when they are still stuck down under… When they still have to take order from other people… When they have to give their respect to someone that they consider not worth it… The funny thing is, when they finally reach to the top they are acting exactly the same like the people they previously hate.

Try to denial that to have their current position or success because of the help from other people… They do not like the fact that the help is unavoidable and therefore when they finally reach the success moment they act as if there was no such help ever given to them… They want to convince everybody and everyone else that they got it through their own struggle.


We often forget sometimes in the process, that no matter how hard we try to hide things, live in denial, sooner or later the thing that we try to hide and denied will come out… And if that happen, things will turn from good to ugly…. Which most certainly at that time embarrass is only the small thing that we have deal with it… I guess, our past has made us what we are right now… And even we are being secretive about it…, it will shown in every course of actions that we take…

Hmmm, wondering if I am going to be a dragon monster if I do become the leader of so many people… *impossible mode is on*

RISK AVOIDER: A POEM


Oh, how much I want to try to swim in the river..
But wait…I don’t know how to swim…
Maybe I should try to learn it?
But what if I get drown while in the learning process?

Oh, those islands look so beautiful…
How I want to visit those places…
Enjoy the beauty with my own eyes…
But wait…to go there I have to go by plane…
What if the plane crashed?
If I go by the ship, what if the ship is sinking to the bottom of the sea?

Oh, that man is so handsome…
If only he know how much I love him
Maybe I should send him a sign or something…?
But wait…what if he thinks that sign as a joke?
Or worse, he does not like me and breakup the friendship?

Oh, someone offer me a job….
How I want to take it…
But wait…what if this job gives me little satisfaction?
What if I get lay off?
What if the situation is the same with the current job?

Oh, life is so hard…
Maybe I should just die?
But wait…what if the dying process is painful?
What if after all the pain, I am not die anyway?

Oh, dying is so frightening…
Maybe I should keep on living…?
But wait…what if I can’t find something to support my life?
What if life just playing games on me?
What if life is not going be another torture to me?

What should I do?
What should I do?

RULES

Does rules made to be broken? Well, probably that’s not the first intention when people break the rule… There are various reasons though…

My friend once told me how her parents forbid her to play with matches as they worry she may set the house on fire. She did not understand at first and since she was still a kid she played with it anyway. Not to worry, she does not burn the house. However, she hurt her hands while playing with fire. You do remember how beautiful that faint light given from the matches… And we have this urge just to touch it with our hands… Not to mention that we are wondering why can’t we play with this beautiful thing who only able to light for a few seconds? Of course after hurt her hand, it was enough for her not to disobey her parents warning anymore. I mean anything related with matches and fire.

On public places like mall, nowadays we see many signs near a chair or toilets or rooms that especially being provided for people who have disability or mothers with infants. Inside that room, mothers will be able to breastfeeding their infants without being looked at by other people. Note: If you wonder why people still glaring to mothers who busy breastfeeding…do not ask me.
Toilets for people with wheelchairs are created with bigger space. The big space is enough to put two people inside along with the wheelchairs.
There are corners near the restrooms provided to mothers who probably wish to change diapers of their infants or just sit down there to wait for others from restroom.

Usually, people probably would not enter rooms for mothers…but for the other two…don’t say to me that you have not even once used them though you have no infants or disability.
I admit, sometimes I just went it to the toilets with bigger space because I can’t hold it much longer… And the cleaning lady inside did nothing to prevent me as there is no other people that will use it anyway at that time… Oh, yes sometimes they will ask you nicely not to use it. I once saw a teen just sat in a chair for mothers with infants at the mall. One of the cleaning ladies politely asked her to get up as this chair is not meant for her.

Other reasons for breaking rules? Plenty. Probably we are in a hurry and decide to take a short cut even if we know is breaking the law. Or we wear a very short skirt to school though our headmaster forbidden us to do that. If we can get away with it, we can show it to other people…feeling proud that there was no punishment laid upon us for breaking the rule… As if we are brave to do that and nothing can stop us. Maybe next time we will do it again and escalate the risk of getting catch in the act. Just for the fun of it.

Then again, sometimes certain rules were made long time ago. And those rules are not adequate with current situation. Eventually, people will break them before finally revised adjusting with nowadays situation. So, I suppose breaking the rules does not mean bad all the times…, right? 

NOTHING IS FREE IN THIS WORLD

Recently I saw on TV a mother crying for her lost teen daughter. She said that by information from friends of her daughter, she went to see a guy she knew from Facebook. The guy promised to give her daughter handphone and Blackberry. And he also promised to give her money every week. When she showed up on television it was informed that her daughter already missing for about two weeks.

When her mother crying to share her sadness on tv with the reporter, she said to her missing daughter that she will not be angry again with her. It seems her daughter has this habit to ran off from home every time she scolded by her mother. I feel sad watching that her mother feel the need to apologize in such a way. She probably fear for the worst that her daughter already been sold as prostitute in foreign country. Looking at her picture, the 13 years old girl is very pretty and looks a lot mature from her real age.

Anyway, only few days after the mother being interviewed on tv and showed the picture of her daughter…guess what…? The police successfully get the proprietor along with
