them, I hardly wear it unless I have to go out with her. I have never really into fashion, but wearing something that I do not like always makes me uncomfortable. Of course, she finally noticed that I hardly wear the clothes… And that made her even more upset.

From that I learned, that for some cases…it would be better if we just be honest. If we have disagreement on something that we think is necessary for us to be spoken out loud then we should do it. Of course, what we have to think is how to express that disagreement in order to achieve something that both parties would approve. If only I kept on insist that I dislike the dress my Mom bought for me, she probably would only be a little upset. Okay, it would be a catastrophe. But, if she bought the dress anyway thinking that I like it too and then finding out I never wear it, imagine how she feel about it? Not only she wasted money on thing that would be useless but also that I lied about it. Being my Mom she probably going to let that pass. But being a friend or an acquaintance, I am not so sure… We will not like that kind of situation and eventually worst thing might happen…

So, yeah…once in a while…lie you may… But try not to do that too often…
(and this advice come from a person who prefer lying in the name of comfort)





You who all have been reading my diary online must have known with my fascination with lie, right?

Anyway, even though I spent my entire life just being a small time clerk… I never thought of lying about it just to make it sound so important. So every people will think that I was this big shot in this company where I have been working for ages. So every people will feel envy at me because I have facilities from the office such as house, car, etc, etc.

Once my Mom asked me is it true that my office give the above facilities to their employee. The reason she asked as someone that she know was telling everybody that her son got all of that. She told them her son working in the same office with me, but probably in another department as his name does not ring a bell. When I told my Mom that the office where I have been working do not give that kind of facilities, she keep on insisting.

“Maybe because you are still a clerk?”

Well, that hit a button, alright.

“Mom, the office will never ever going to give their employee a house, a car… To any staffs in any kind of positions… They do however give out loans that we HAVE TO pay with interest…” I replied irritated.

I have no idea which one who was lying. Either way, I was thinking what if I did not work there. They could keep on bragging on and on…and everybody would have just bought it because they do not know the real situation.

Of course I cannot judge those people who want to sound so important in front of others. I have to admit that I too not too proud with myself and my work. But I simply just do not want to talk much about it. And not give all the crap about how I get free house, free cars as I am someone important. As for me, if someone else then break out the truth to the people I lied to… wouldn’t that be embarrassing? And worse, people that I lied to would have their laugh until the end of time… Other possibilities, they will not believe to anything we tell them…

Embarrassed may be…, idiot yes probably…, but better have a long thinking before lying almost about everything…

LIFE IS UNFAIR…NOT

I was reading this article about cybercrime when suddenly I saw something interesting in that article. A well-known blogger wrote how she lost her accounts (email, Facebook, blog) after being held by her husband who knew all her passwords. He said that he will return all the accounts if this writer drops her demand for divorce. I was wondering who this writer is when I saw the name of her books and blog…and I was stunned… She was someone that I used to envy a lot.

Well, yeah… I know envy and jealousy is not good for the soul… And yet, in my darkest mood I will see these people as the living proof that life is so unfair. Can you imagine that she has nothing to do but shop, shop, and shop and never drop? Well, I am not fashionista but I would not mind being in her position…well, at least like the one she shares on her blog and books. She has been raised from a wealthy family that allows her to go anywhere not just for traveling but also to spend and spend a lot of money. As if there was nothing else she does in this world. I remembered being jealous to her, I decided not going to buy her second book and not even her third book. I bought the first one because I was curious to see how she wrote the shopping journey from her life. But after I read it, I was like…oh dear… Why should I buy her books and make her even richer to go shop…, again? Naturally, I was shock to find out that her life is not as smooth as I thought before… All I can say that she has some problems with her husband and things turn out for the worst in the end of their marriage.

From that article I learned two things…

First, be very careful with all passwords of all your accounts on the internet… If we are the kind of person who lazy to change our password then at the least we should not be giving it away to just anyone… Usually people like to share it with their spouse or family as to prove that they have nothing to hide. But if this knowledge will bite each of you later then perhaps there is nothing wrong to keep it as a secret?

Second, there is no use in getting jealous with other people’s life. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know this already. I have been reminding myself from time to time… But always, I failed to execute it whenever I was frustrated with my life. We will never know the bitter facts that those people hiding behind their smile. Nobody like to storytelling about how bad their life actually in one aspect. As we all know, not all people willing to help sincerely after hearing someone share their misfortune. Others probably will turn away or worse make it as gossip material with their family and friends. Like my friend who always constantly reminding me that every person has their own life and destiny. We can’t be like them and they will not live like us.

Everybody has their own happiness and bitterness…

LIP SERVICE

When I was still in the university, I have this class mate who also working as a model and an actress of several soap operas.

She, without a doubt is very beautiful. She even looks more beautiful when you see her in person. She has this beautiful soft and radiant skin. Her long hair makes her look more gorgeous. She was tall and slim… Well, a perfect picture.

I did not pay too much attention. If that famous person was a male, maybe I would not be able to take my eyes off him. She attended a class together with me. And one day, she sat next beside me. I was coughing from catching a cold. She noticed that and then suddenly she informed about a traditional medicine to cure the coughing. I was surprised and felt a bit embarrassed. Previously I thought she was probably a snob and here she offering her help. And I was not even asked her help.

Then a few days later, she sat not beside me but still close. She borrowed a pen from me for writing something. And you know what…after that…she looked up and asked around,” Eh, whose pencil is this?”
Again, I was like…WHAT? So, you just being nice or doing lip service? You did not want everybody stamped you as being snob since you are an actress. So, you smile a lot and talked nice… But, actually you pay attention to nobody but yourself.

Years later, I read in the newspaper she managed to enter the parliament and now is a member there. Wondering what the heck she does actually? Flashing her big smile to anyone and probably doing nothing? Then again, she has that ability to talk in front of many people without a slight of nervousness. Smile that megawatt smile of hers to others. She knew how to make people listen to her otherwise they would not choose her, right? In the end, I am not surprise anymore she even make it to that position.

I just hope she really does her work and not become another faces in that position.

MOCKERS

Do you have an acquaintance that is so annoying once in a while? I am sure you have. We cannot avoid these kinds of people. Hey, who knows… we probably annoying other people as well… ;)

This someone loves borrowing things from me but after she or he saw the things that I have they will mock me like this….

“Oh dear, I was expecting that you have that perfume instead of this perfume… This perfume is so not me…”
And of course I was like thinking…, then why didn’t you just buy it yourself instead of asking for mine? Do I have to provide every perfume to anyone who wants to ask for a few drops?

Or we take these kind of people out for lovely dinner… Well, actually we did not want to take them in the first place. Our intention is to take out our parents for a nice dinner out there… Darn these people happen to come by and we have no choice but to take them along… When they find out where was the place, they started that annoying laugh and said, “Oh so here is the place? I thought we are going to something fancier…”

GGRRHHH

Don’t you just want to kill them on the spot?

Now I think they actually try to hide their insecurities… I mean, they probably do not have enough to buy their own perfume or other things in life…(clothes, shoes, gadget and many more)… Well, obviously they can’t afford it otherwise they would not borrow it from other people, right? But to hide that jealousy for not being able to have that thing, they mocked other people’s belongings… They are angry because to use that thing that have to borrow from other people… Even worst that they probably borrow it from people who they really envy for years… So, to not loose their dignity they feel the need to mock.

Annoying? Yeah, sure… But then…just let it by… Better you are the one who able to lend those things rather than being the borrower who keep on mocking other people…

Like we use to said in Indonesia, jealousy is a sign of incapability.

LOUD

What first thing that cross your mind when hearing someone talk too loud
