Teachers

image from i forgot what site i obtained this one- lolzz

  Teachers like candies, they come in different sizes, colors and tastes, some maybe sweet some are a bit sour and some are also tasteless when their expiration date comes. I have encountered a lot of different teachers in my current institution, and the kind of teacher that of course most students want are those who are approachable or sociable, kind and understanding, though some teachers lack this some also have these qualities. On a different note, there are also some teachers who are very strict and conscientious but are yet very good in teaching and the kind of process of giving lessons is just sublime that the students can easily comprehend them. Though being considerate still matters, some teachers are only aiming for that 'oh you're so good when it comes to teaching' yet don't have the single interest to have that kind of emotional bond students wants to have towards their teachers. Oh teachers you come in different colors and us students, oh we just want to blend with you.

My Dream Teacher

    People say, that if you want to dream, dream BIG! and I want KORY STAMPER as my teacher! LOL Ms. Kory here by the way is the Associate Editor at Merriam-Webster. I'm a big fan of Merriam-Webster Dictionary and I often see her at the side bar. Suddenly I found myself watching all of her videos. If she's my teacher I wouldn't have to skip class (as if I do, I care about my grades). Beauty and brains people, this is what we need! Kory Stamper for President! lolz

How to break-up with someone

    In the song Make It Easy On Yourself by the Carpenters it is stated there "make it easy on yourself, because breaking up is so very hard to do". Breaking-up is indeed a very hard thing to do. You don't enter a relationships for that, the goal is for it to last. but things happen..

     As a woman, a lady, a girl, it is very important that in going through this stage: I. You must have a good reason of why you need to break-up with him. II. Tell him what you really feel. Don't sugar coat it and let it out! III. Say it in a very calm manner and look him in the eye, by that he can really tell that you're true and you really mean the things you just said. IV. Tell him you will still both be friends, no matter what happens -(though its really impossible). 

      In breaking up, all it takes is a good conversation. Whether we like it or not, break-ups will sometimes come on our way and it hurts but if you really care about that person, don't try to hurt his feelings, just tell him that you're through and make it easy on yourself.. 

    Girls if the guy is a moron, slap them if u must. :3 Seriously, I haven't even tried breaking up with somebody, haha this is a random post, please don't think that I'm looking forward for that moment where I have to break someone else's heart or it can the other way around which will hurt even more. So for now I'll keep on blogging and you'll 

Is your glass half full or half empty?

    You can tell by my blog posts that I'm a person who focuses more on the negative side of a situation, I'm not saying that I don't notice the desirable side, but the one that upsets me is the one that catches most of my attention. Pessimist much? I don't know, its for me to figure than one out.

    Just this morning I borrowed Reader's Digest in our school library and I find their January issue very interesting. I read about Matthieu Ricard, who happens to be the happiest and most content person in the world. According to scientists, his level of mind control is astonishing and the upbeat impulses in his brain are off the scale, you can determine that by the way by using MRI or brain scans, oh psychology, I will later get the hang of it. I found his website and learned that he is also a photographer. His photos are just breathtaking!

     Mattieu is a French academic-turned-Buddhist monk, he is also the French interpreter for Tibet's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. Supernova right? Maybe its also the Monks way of living that helped him attain a true and lasting happiness. According to lab test, Mattieu and other meditating monks showed a sharp spike in the the prefrontal cortex, the area linked to positive emotions such as happiness. He's one happy person whose contented with what he has. Come on, I know you envy him, I do too. But I'm glad there's somebody like Mattieu Ricard who can inspire people just by telling his story.

    Here's one quote from Mattieu - "Our life can be greatly transformed by even a minimal change in how we manage our thoughts and perceive and interpret the world. Happiness is a skill. It requires effort and time." -It's how we see things, it may take time to practice how to make an undesirable situation be a desirable one, but I'll make sure that I'll have that kind of mindset, ill get there someday.

    Also on RD's January issue is about a guy named Neil Pasricha, 

who also chose to see life as a one great blessing. Neil does things the opposite of what I do, LOL -check his website AwesomeThings.com, and you'll see how great this guy is. Okay, you see, what he does is Neil post one awesome thing in life each weekday, which is a really amazing thing to do, now isn't it awesome? (Prepare for some more usage of the word awesome, lol) Neil made this awesome website to remind himself of the good things in life, and how awesome life is. Neil shares his experiences everyday to almost 60,000 people who visits his website daily. Neil also said, and I'm quoting this one -"There's much more to life than the bad things we're going through". That one really hit me, I have to come up with my own awesome thing per day. Maybe I'll do this later here on my blog. 

    Anyway, it's great when what we do is to just focus on what's fun or enjoyable about each day. We can as well do that, like Neil by appreciating the little pleasures we have in life.

    I'd also like to see my glass one day as half full rather than half empty, these people have inspired me, have made me realize that there is always at least one good thing that can happen despite all the bad things that may surround it. An idea came that maybe by making a list of all things that happen in a day can help, and by omitting the bad ones, we get to appreciate the positive side (too much time on my hands)..  Or maybe it's how we see things, I guess. A life choice for us to decide whether to have a good life or not. Or.. maybe what we need is some conviction or some sort of divine intervention to keep everything together in our lives (lol). I'm going nowhere, ya notice?  For now let us be grateful for what we have, in that way, hopefully we'll feel fulfilled and we will get see how blessed we are...

    Have a great weekend everyone!

Thank you 'my sunshine' on my rainyday.

Earlier today, my classmates and I took an IQ test. I don't know what's the purpose of suddenly doing that, go to my school and ask them. So, I've managed to answer all the questions, yay -I'm not sure though if they were all right lol, i do hope ill get a good score.

Anyway, I have no clue why I was smiling the whole time while taking that exam but I I'll tell you this, when you're about to partake in some big activity (and as an introvert, everything to me feels big), be sure to see that person who inspires you the most. ;) hehehehehe TBH i didn't expect how this day would turn out but it became a great day for me. A lot of awful things happened to me during the morning. I went home after feeling exhausted with my Biology class. I went home, and i hugged my cat Mildred, took a nap for about 2 hours, went back to school and then BAM! ...you already know happened xD, The big thing just happened, you just missed it, in a blink of an eye. now get lost. haha! Seriously when it comes to the people that I like, i rarely talk about them, well i talk about them, but i rarely mention the names. The feeling is just awkward.. One of these days, I am going to write something about this person here, oh so many things to do. I also have to write something here about Susan Li, who is my current obsession. obsession in a good way of course.

    So that's it, this blog will still exist, it can exist without any followers LOL,i will still be posting something here, anything under the sun, and i will be writing something here that is more knowledgeable and educational in the future, i think. 

    

    Most of my post here are just one of those million thoughts i have in my brain( if i have one), and mostly has nothing to do with other people, but hey this is my blog and i can do anything in here as long as it doesn't have to do with the some cyber nasty stuff, lol xD.. So there, I promise to write something more interesting in the future and thank you for stopping by. I know you think my blog is lame but this is me, I will enhance or improve my writing skills, I talk too much right, I have to go now. 

..and Thank you so much anonymous, unidentified, unnamed, unspecified person, you just made my day. You rock!

Enjoying the remaining days of the Year
