Life Line

Have I already said this before? Huh! What if I did? I don't care. I got older, so I have the right to ramble on like a grandma. As far as I recall, despite my memory, previously I've compared my life to a movie, but it can also be compared to an  Electrocardiograph Machine (EKG)

As long as you live, there will be ups and downs in your life aka changes. I'm the kind of person who prefers to have a stable heart beat...not so ready to get a heart attack from being too stressed out. That's the main reason why I dislike changing environments. I hate all transition periods where I have to readapt myself and get use to new things happening around me. But, here I am. A new job and new people to get along with.

To be officially recognize as an employee of the company...I have to get through 2 exams (they really should choose another word...the word 'exam' makes me panic all the time) and 3 months of probation. Half of my mission's done. Now, I'm almost done with my final exam and will remain 7 more weeks to tough through.

So what if I don't like ups nor downs? Is that a crime? Sue me. It won't prevent me from prefering to live on a flat line (a high flat line). So much easier.

A Day Off To...

Ah-hum!!! *clear throat* ...go see Pirates Of The Caribbean’s premiere. How do I know? Well...I just happen to know a lot of things. Maybe I should've done my major in Paparazzi Studies. Seriously. I like gossip. I heart gossip. I embrace gossip. XD

(This is just an example out of many others. I took this one, because I had a conversation with a friend of mine and learned that she's one of those people. Wait for Harry Potter's premiere and you'll see a whole army of them.)

Will I do it for a movie or do I regret of not doing it for one? Mmmm!!! Nah! Not really. There are lots of great movies (if you see my wall of collection, you'll know that I'm not sarcastic), but I won't go to the point of taking a day off. The only scenario where you might see me going to that extreme, if ever I do it, is because it's more than worth it...for a once in a lifetime show. For example, a farewell concert of one of my favorite singers *touch wood*; or a show that I've been waiting for years for it to come to realisation (like a concert of Faith Hill at Bell Center); or a comeback concert, again from one of my favorite artists. At this exact moment of writing this post, I can see myself take a day off from everything if Shania's coming to Montreal, after ~10 years of abandoning me. *crossing my fingers*

Will You Do It For A Good Cause?

That's right! I'm talking about shaving your head to support kids who were victims of cancer.

This ad I saw in the metro this morning...makes me wonder if I'm capable of doing anything for people who need my help. At the end of my reflexion...the answer might be a little deceiving.

I admit that there are things I’m willing to do for people who are in need…like donate money and do volunteer works. But, shave my head??? IT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. Not ready to sacrifice something I spend a fortune to maintain. So sorry!

Egoism

Yah! I'm ranting...again. And I think I have all the reasons to.

Can't believe there's such a person in my life! How can one be so egoist? It is always good for other people to do things for "that person", but nerver the other way around or fairly uncommon. Try to ask "that person" a favor and the answer (I'm sure at 93%) will be no.

I always like to support/justify my sayings with examples, so...here they are. (I'll use generalist terms to avoid any finger-pointing and male form to simplify my writing)

1- That person will come see you with a dental-ad smile plugged on his pathetic face and lower his voice to a wanna-be-cute birdy tone to ask for anything. How can you refuse, right? While you accept any favor, this person will never return the nice gesture. Do not ever try to ask anything back...it is a complete waste of time and effort. Mmm-mmmm never gonna work. The moment you need something from him, he already had time to forget everything you've done for him.

2- His schedule is the most important. You people have to bend accordingly. You want to do something with him? Nah-unh! Let him check his "busy"-and-impossible-to-accomodate-schedule-because-you're-not-important-enough before he can confirm something. Pffff!!!

3- Do not count on him to do any house chores. Based on point #2, he has no extra time to contribuate. Anyhow, even if he does have a little time, he only concentrates on his own room...do his own stuffs and completely ignore the rest. Not trying to be mean, but I really can't wait to see what his house would look like whenever he's going to leaving by himself. *chuckles* That must be an interesting image to see.

4- Doing the laundry is another issue. Who would complain about the others not doing his laundry? You have your own pair of arms, which could do the job...so do it. Out of a sudden, he realizes that he should be doing so (in lack of clean clothes to wear) then go and put all his dirty clothes, and only his, in the machine. Genius! By "only his clothes", I mean every word of it...no water, no soap, and didn't power on the machine. *mocking laugh* Do you seriously think that your clothes will be done by only putting them in the machine? Or, are you thinking that the next person who goes by the machine will catch the message and has the responsability to wash them for you?

*sigh desperately* Who do you think you are? Or maybe should I ask...who are we to you? Your insignificant servants? I don't want things to be that way. I refuse. Well! We can't get everything we want, right? That's life.

P.S. I may not mean every pejorative adjectives I wrote. It's only because I'm so furious that I use this kind of vocabulary. I apologize if I have upsetted anybody.

Dream Come True

Have you ever thought of your reaction, if one day your dreams really do come true? And here I'm not referring to your day/fancy/superstitious/fairytale/improbable/unrealistic dreams, but literally dreams when you are asleep.

According to an online dictionary, dreams are "successions of images, ideas, emotions and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep." But, it can also be the result of you constantly thinking about the same thing a billion times a day (based on my own experience)...you may be asleep, but your unconscious still runs on its own.

It is clearly awesome if you dream of yourself becoming a millionaire or anything good in the name of Goddess.

In the other end, (what I'm more concerned about) what if we have a nightmare? In some ways, what you see in your dreams nightmares can also reflect your greatest fears of all time. For example, *clear throat* you all know that I despise all insects (with no exceptions what so ever), right? So, lets imagine that, one night I find a stupid and extremely ugly and fairly large and hairy eight legs freak in my room. I'll start by panicking and finish by shouting at my mother to come rescue me. As you can imagine, with all that dread impregnated in my little body...I'm to have a not so pleasant dream. That dream can be 10x the exaggeration of my original terror. My point is, what if this horrific situation comes true? Ewww!!! What am I going to do??? What if my entire room...house...city's filled with those? An army of spiders' genuinely harder to kill than zombies. Siiiigh!!!

That was only an example out of the blue. It could be anything as bad or worse. Think about it. It's very weird.

Too Much For My Little brain

Not thinking/not using your brain at all is no good, but thinking too much is no better.

The brain plumber keeps rescheduling my appointment. Argh!!! Can I just go to Seattle Grace, shift whoever's on the waiting list and have McDreamy fix my problem? He'd be honor to do so, right? Afterall, surgeons like to fix people.

There are so much things going on (maybe there aren't in reality, but it's what I feel) that I don't know where to start or how to express...can't find the right words. *looking in my limited dictionary with no result* And, I also have the impression of continuingly forgetting something (important or not), but can't tell what it is. *grumpy and yelling my lungs out while standing on the peak of Shania's Switzerland mountain* (hope she doesn't mind) You may say that it's just in my head, that I'm paranoying. I know. But, still can't dig this thought out of my human-data-server.

If someone up there is watching over me and recognize that I'm a good person, can this someone please help me out? By the way, I also need a little more money to support my expenses. Can you help my financial department as well??? I'd appreciate it and thank you in advance.

Yep! That's what's happening to my mice-size brain at the moment. (at least I'm oiling it everyday and not letting it perish) Yikes!!!

What You Think, Isn't What It Is

- Majority of people you see on the street aren't half as smart as you may think they are.

- I tend to think that people who are hired for a job in a company (high or low prestige) is because they have the competence to fill the position description. But NO~ The best example I can give...the ones who work for the government. Do you know how much they're paid per hour + social advantages, for the quality and quantity of work they provide? It's not always (most of the time) proportional. That I can garanty.
PS. That is why I always emphasize on the fact that your physical appearance is fairly important. I know that I'm repeating myself over and over again...it is so you can engrave that into your brain (if you have one, of course). You just have to know how to present yourself properly (natural swagger) and master the manner of talking, then you'll get the job easily even if your curriculum vitae is practically empty.

- You think you've finally beaten your destiny? Not quite yet. I'm still dealing with the stress of tests and exams. It is like 18 years of school isn't enough. Now that I'm on the job market...still have to go through exams. When is this going to end?

- What people tell you about themselves isn't the truth to its fullest extent. You absolutely have to see it with your own eyes and analyze with your own brain, because there are a lot of people who knows how to use their "adjectives dictionnary" to their advantage.

There are a lot more cases, but I can't think of anything else at this moment. My head is too congested with insurance notions that I can't think anymore.

In need of a brain plumber~~~

Cartier's Secret

What I can want, but will never get??? (I know, never say never, right!)

Price: $2,755,000

Cartier’s Secret watch received an extra twist of luxury for this one of a kind phoenix shaped wristwatch. The timepiece is made of 18 carat, rhodium-plated white gold and it uses emeralds for the eyes and a big pear-shaped portrait cut diamond weighting 3.53 carats on it. The watch is covered by 3,010 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 80.13 carats.

This is literally costier than my house and car (father's car, it's a little epic to have a car without having a license, is it?) combined together. Am I really going to buy this and only wear it on my wrist (or arm, I'm pretty sure it will fit)??? Maybe...if I win the jackpot. *crossing my fingers* Or, if you have too much money and don't know where to spend, it'll be my greatest pleasure to accept it as.a.gift.

For the time being, it can stay in the store and keep its title of The-3rd-most-expensive-watch-on-the-planet-called-Earth.

FYI. The desire for blings/rocks/diamonds comes with age...

Birthday Trauma

To those who didn't know...today is my birthday and also the day I step into my late-twenties. This is a sad thing to discuss. I start to feel old already. Can't imagine what it'll be like at 30...40...50...60...*gasp*
