The Waiting Game

2005-07-29T00:51:00.000-07:00

Why are women never on time? I reckon that the person who can answer this age old question deserves more than a pat on his back. Maybe the much coveted Nobel Prize. However before all the feminist groups out there begin bombarding me with death treats or perhaps sending Mr. & Mrs. Smith to assassinate me, let me explain my plea? First of all, I would like to declare that NOT ALL women behave as such. Even some men fall into this category but in a proportion of lesser magnitude. For discussion purposes and to be as politically correct as possible (struggling very hard on that issue...), perhaps, we shall just concentrate on individuals who love to be late regardless of gender? (Think I was a step short of tumbling into the grave that I manually dug. But now I believe that I've won some support and gained a few approving nods out...)

Many are not immune to this disease including yours truly. This article was "inspired" and written while waiting for this friend of mine (45 minutes and counting) whom I shall name Miss Princess. The funny thing was that I attempted to be later than her in order to teach her a lesson. What a vicious cycle (at the end, we were an hour behind schedule!!!). People are late for appointments. Wedding dinners commence hours after the designated time. Even a leeway of fifteen minutes is allocated before the start of any movie. Is our world made up of delays and procrastinations? What happened to the untainted essence of time?

All I can sum up from this shitty behaviour lies in these two letters : PR. P for priority and R for respect. For those who are in the medical discipline will soon recognized what PR stands for and, yes, the pun was intended.

To many, prioritizing is a mirror to one’s life since it truly reflects who a person is and what matters in their life. Having said that, these obnoxious folks are rather selective on being punctual to their "crucial" events (e.g. meetings, lectures and pre sales etc). I believe that many of my respective gender counterparts would testify to this fact. I just can't fathom it. Knowing that they'll be late, why can't they just take a little more effort, like preparing 5 minutes earlier or something? And coming from those who can prioritize their time magnificently for the more "crucial" events, it is makes my heart bleed and is truly disheartening (pun intended). If they can attempt to be on time for these "crucial" events, why can't they do the same to their boy/girl friends, families, friends? Why can't they treat people that they love dearly with more respect than to those whom they hardly know? Remember that humans are made up of a symbiotic network that requires mutual support and respect. Everyone deserves a little bit of respect, don't we? Put yourself in each others shoes and you'll know what I mean.

P.s. Rebuttals? Death threats? All are welcomed!!!

River Runs Dry

Since coming home, I had nothing better to do but to be glued to the idiot box the entire day. Lots of shows that I've never heard before sprang to life before my very eyes (why am I not surprised!!) but much to my dismay. Reality shows. When is enough, actually enough? What is wrong with Hollywood these days? Appears to me that they are running out of ideas that would even fail to challenge the few neuronal fibres of our brain matters. After exploiting the very "best" of human essence (think Survivor), they moved on to travelling (think Amazing Race or closer to home, Explore Race) and even job recruitments (maybe Trump vs Branson). Not satisfied with that, they exploited human emotions and love. The latter may entertain us for a while until it gets all to predictable and outrageous. One show that particularly caught my attention on this uneventful Saturday night was "Who Wants To Marry My Dad?". Excuse me, Mr Director, a little creativity block? But then again, the world feeds on such scandalous and ridiculous ideas and one of their successful victims is yours truly. Just for entertainment and a good laugh. Unfortunately for me, I think the whole concept of this show is totally absurd and horrendous. Let me enlightened you on the plot. An old, multimillionaire widower decides to explore the cruel world of love all over again after the depature of his other half. Nothing wrong with that but the catch is that he is leaving the process of choosing his brand new wife ENTIRELY to his four young adult kids!!!! He has no say.....or maybe a tiny weeny bit (see below). Well, for starters, I would rather be in control of determining my potential life partner instead of being handed with a trophy wife who could well be a desperate housewife at the end of the day. If not weirder, the old man will always utter these magical words,"My kids know what is best for me". Doesn't sound to convincing, does it? Hello......what does a bunch of 20-something rich kids know about love? Their lives revolve around money, booze, party, sex etc. You name it, they've got it at the snap of their fingers. Anyway, in order to eliminate the candidates each week, the contestants will have to undergo a polygraph test aka a lie detector. Hmmm........very peculiar. Of course, the poor souls are bombarded by the children with a series of preposterous questions eg. Would you include me in your will, can I move back with you into the mansion etc. Mentioned earlier about the father not having authority over his destiny?Demonstrated today, when his kids had negative perceptions on this particular woman whom the father specifically mentioned that he likes, moments before the deliberation. No prize for guessing what his imbecile children did. Obviously their old man was devastated over the outcome but he calmly said those oh so comforting phrase again. Loser. Take control of your life, man. Enough said. So what are your thoughts?

i was so tempted to begin my quest of writing (under compulsion) after a long hiatus (plus major "renovations") but something just felt.....different.withdrawal symptoms of not writing for a long long time?doubt it.maybe fans drooling for more of my writings?absurd.dream on.i should have sensed that something was amiss when the computer i went to was faulty. if it was not bad enough, the pace of the adjacent computer was even slower than my grandmother's crawling pace. so alas, i gave up. can't even load the page. disappointing. my first post in recent years hampered by slow connection. sigh...................out

A New Look

2005-07-02T05:54:00.000-07:00

After being dormant for more than a year, I've decided to give this blog a new look. Hopefully I'll start blogging again...

It Wasn't Me!!!

First of all, let me get some facts straight. I DID NOT create this blog. In the first place, I don't and can't even write (ironically I'm doing it right now). Some "good Samaritan" made this up for me and now i am forced to write, out of my own will, of course. Imagine the constant pressure and pestering from them.....brings me the creeps. SUCK........
Writing has never been my forte since time the beginning of time. This brings back awful memories of my student life. I vividly remembered that my essays were constantly being smudged and painted in scarlet ink all the time. Depressing..... Anyway, I'll be co-writing with someone very soon. At least, life would be more interesting then (hopefully, that is). NiCk CaN't OUT (Courtesy of Ryan Seacrest)

Hey. I've decided to join the bandwagon and start blogging, thanks to the constant pressure from a few of my friends, who are sadly addicted to blogging ;)
