Gwen Stefani's

...love her songs.
.....love her Harajuku Lovers fashion line.
..........and now LOVE her Harajuku Lover's Fragrance
I am not a "fanatic" person. (Well, I USED to be a fan of westlife..those good ol' days)
But Gwen Stefani. She rocks!
The first time I actually "know" her is through her song "Wind it up". This song really caught my attention, its a really a HUGE twist for a nice kiddie song, "The Lonely Goatherd"-Sound of Music.
Watch and compare them:

Stop talking about "I"

...I need a break on listening only about you; literally "I"
Recently, I experienced something irritating: there are couple of my friends (female friends) that only talk to me when they want to talk about themselves, only.
I do feel happy when friends share their problems or happiness or whatever mundane thing with me, because when they do so, that means they trust me and treat me as their friend.
But too much of "I..." is irritating, specifically for those who NEVER even bother to talk to me, suddenly talked to me, only about "I...", wanting some feedbacks from me (which I doubt they actually input it into their mind), and when it is my turn to share my stuff, she will somehow "listen" to me, but within few seconds, talk back about her initial topic, "I..."

X: Guess what, I ..blah blah blah

me: oooo, so you should ...blah blah blah

X: ya, then...blah blah blah

me: ic.

X: (keep blah-ing)

me: Btw, today I did this...blah blah blah

X: (normally showing i-dont-care face) Really?... about the thing I told you just now, I was..blah..blah..blah.

me: (sigh-mentally)

maybe this dialogue does not make sense to you. But my point is, I really cannot stand those who just talk to me when they need a listener, without bothering about getting feedbacks from me, and have zero intention to be my listener. Somehow people love to talk to me about thier thing, Am I really a good listener?
Well, I really dont mind to listen, but please do the same to me when I need a listener; A good listener still need listener.

Some tips to not irritate your friend(listener) when you want to talk about "I...":
Be alert with signs of boredom from their face.
Listen to their feedbacks (although it might not be useful, but at least listen to show respect)
Do the same thing when your friend need a listener in the future. (its really a two-way thing)
and
never..NEVER talk to you friend ONLY when you have problem.
(dont be like stranger when you have nothing to talk to her/him)

a death.

...isnotathingtomakefunof

Within this few days, I heard about two deaths. Condolences to their families.

After reading a blog of a ridiculously disrecpectful girl, I strongly...
despise those who do not respect the deceased.
despise those who can still smile, camwhore, and feel-like-it-is-not-her-matter kinda thing when attending a funeral.

This ridiculously disrecpectful girl wrote that she attended a not-so-close-relative funeral, she posted pictures of her stupid camwhoring poses before/after the funeral, wearing huge sunnies and "new" hairstyle, reason for wearing white long sleeves for the funeral, asking stupid question like why cant the deceased die on other day as she actually already have a plan for that day, and having starbucks during the funeral day! (well, maybe starbucks doesnt really matters, here...)...anyways, my point is, CANT SHE SHOW SOME RESPECT? cant she be more sympathetic to the(her) family members? Although she is not close to the deceased, she should know what is DEATH

Death is not a thing which you can make fun of
When it happens to your close ones, you will only understand the real meaning of it:
All Pain, and it's not FUN!
Death is the end of a person's life but it will be a life long journey of painfulness for the deceased close ones. For the one left behind in this world, this journey is not only filled with pains, but also tears, tears, and tears. The memories are the worst enemy in this journey. And memories are everywhere, even a simple coca-cola bottle can trigger memories, memories trigger pain, pain triggers tears.

"If I would have do this/tell this......."
this sentence is like an obstacle in this journey. And this obstacle is never easy to overcome, forever. It will eventually suddenly appear and disappear throughout this whole journey. Regrets is the only way to entertain this obstacle.

if i can be more thankful on what you did for us, will you still be here, longer?

"Everthing will be fine soon"
this is the sentence which one will received most from inexperienced friends who try to understand the feeling of losing a loved ones. I personally appreciate these friends, but this sentence is so not right! How can everything will be fine soon? Nothing can be fine, nothing will be back to normal.

The most comforting yet realistic sentences to tell someone who is surviving this post trauma...

"It will be a tough journey. Only time can cure this." -by MK Chew

"It is okay to cry, but you must know when to stop & move on." -by RQ Lee

Death will happen in any moment....

Be and show appreciation to your loved ones...

or else, you will have regrets hunting in you, forever



just like me
