Why should I like someone?

((didn't use 'love' because it has too much emotional baggage ;_; but for all intents and purposes, like, love, whatever, its all the same ^o^))

There lives a boy that was alienated by most of his friends and lived practically alone for the better part of the past few years.

He's not a victim of abuse or discrimination, he kinda brought it upon himself.

His remaining friends often wonder why he doesn't feel lonely. "Not lonely meh?" They'd enquire, and he'll just smile and shake his head.

"No ah. Oki wat," he'll reply nonchalantly and walk away, smiling silently to himself, as if he knows something that they can never understand, so he'll never bother explaining to them.

The truth is, he was actually really really lonely at first. No surprise, considering that his previous lifestyle was one of many hanging outs and involved meeting other people on a regular basis.

Suddenly turning into a recluse, that's culture shocking~

The thing that changed the boy was perhaps his greatest weakness. He is sadly addicted to liking pretty girls and constantly tried to go after girl after girl, suffering heartbreak after heartbreak.

Sometimes he succeeded, but those are few and far in between. Even then, those ended eventually and hurt even more than they would if he didn't succeeded in the first place.

Recently, he apparently got tired of liking people and the bitter taste it leaves if, no, when he fails. Tragic! Well, at least he took good care of himself.

In fact, he cared only about himself, and those few months of self-indulgence were the most reckless yet refreshingly liberating times of his recent life.

But deep down, he knew that he'll eventually fall for a pretty girl again. "It's inevitable," he said, voice shaking along with his head. Its as if he resigned his fate to a self-fulfilling prophecy.

He didn't really mind though. 'Monk' isn't in his list of ambitions.

As expected, he eventually fell for a wonderfully pretty girl.

"She's perfect!" not realizing that he said almost the same thing for almost every other girl he fell for. "Well she's not flawless.." he corrected himself, "though that actually makes me like her even more!"

And so, that's how this little boy fell for a girl way out of his league and will eventually get his heart broken again.

"No I wont," he snorts. "Not this time," a sheepish grin spread across his blushing face, "I'm not going to do anything about it.

"I don't need to be together with her, to own her, for her to make me happy. I'm happy enough the way it is now!" He boasted confidently.

It might be a really troubling addiction, but it seems to be serving him well. For now.

After all, just seeing her enjoy herself brings him so much joy~ It makes his life, that's full of troubles, stress and pressure from various responsibilities, bearable.

Maybe one day he'll snap out of it, and become a miserable young boy again.

Or maybe he finally figured out how to channel his addiction into some useful energy.


*shrugs* I wouldn't know, its not like I know what goes on in his mind. I'm not him anyway :P

If I were him though, I'd really like to meet the girl and thank her for... saving his life or something XD

Discovery channel

All you good kids who don't waste your precious money and time at cyber cafes, let me tell you a story.

So I plonked down on the PC19, ready to spread my philosophy to the internets. But when the computer logged on, there were so many internet explorer windows open!

One was a gmail, work email, by the looks of it. Male, late 20s, maybe early 30s. Law. Hmm.. right.. what a careless lawyer this one is.

Well I'll give him some credit. It is a well known fact that if you take a prepaid package, the computer logs off once the time's up, right? So most probably our friend walked away once his time ran out.

Little did he know (I'm assuming here) that if its just logging out, it does just that, log out. Everything else stays untouched. Why is it like this? So terrible, there goes my privacy! :O

Well for starters, its a public PC to begin with... :P And this 'flaw' is actually a built in advantage to help people who have poor time management (like me) to go to the counter and re-open the PC and continue / finish up ^o^

Ok la, maybe he was holding in his shit or something and once the time ran out he also ran out and went home and.. do I really need to continue?

Yeah sure, I'll humor you. So he ran as fast as he could right but all the motion made him pass motion and.. well.. lets just say he needed to immediately wash his pants T_T and underpants, and socks, and shoes, and YER SO DISGUSTING LA WTF >_>

...aaaaanyways. Assumptions aside, I proceeded to close all of our friend's open pages and whatnot. Not really interested if its a guy anyway.

Then I saw this gay dating website =_____= and I closed everything twenty times faster I almost logged off the cpu v__v

..well, at least it isn't gay porn >o> but still. Awkward.

* * *

If you reread the previous paragraphs, you can see how I shifted from pretty formal and concise, good English (plonked) and structure with little to no emoticons. Then suddenly the emoticons creeped in and ..everything went downhill from there XD

Where did it start? Aha, there. "So terrible, there goes my privacy! :O" It was an exclamation, a show of emotion! It also marks the part where I begin talking crap.. So I guess emoticons are a good visual cue that I'm talking bullshit, huh :P

I really should make a serious, academic blogpost filled with emoticons... ..aih thinking about it is enough to make me @_@ because nobody's that emotional and animated talking about serious stuffs... =_= unless its filled with :( and :\ la.. argh.

* * *

Let me share a fun activity to do on the LRT ^o^ Its called LRT Roulette. You basically close your eyes while the train is moving, then open your eyes when the train stops ^o^ Sometimes you get a pretty girl in front of you, sometimes you get a disgusting drunkard.. sometimes you get an auntie, sometimes you see a devilishly handsome guy. Sometimes you get that kid sitting across you, sometimes you a fat belly almost smashing in your face +_+ Sometimes you see the wall/window, sometimes you get the pole (what are you doing moving in the train o_o stand still!).

Yes please point out the obvious that the person might not change with just one station. You have stereoscopic vision right, there's more than one person~ look around XD And don't get me started with a packed train =w= I avoid that at all costs.. I shiver at the thought of being crammed between a bunch of humans.. ;_;

Its great for considerate people who head straight for the middle partition of the LRT ^o^ you have a nice place to stand and a nice wall to lean on, so closing your eyes wouldn't be dangerous. Plus the person opposite you has to face you, or at least show you their profile (side view, not facebook profile goddamnit XD)

Unfortunately you can't go to the middle for the epic train... at least I wouldn't recommend it to anyone .o. You see, that place was used in medieval times to store fish, meat, milk and other foodstuffs to be preserved. It's a cool place ^o^ that's known in contemporary times as a 'fridge'... :D

Hehe :3 oki sleeping at 3 and waking up at 7 every day is going to kill me eventually I tell you v_v Bye~ haffun~ ^o^/

Facebook you inconsiderate bastard

Proof that Facebook discriminates against tall and skinny people :(

 

Preposterous!

and notice that it doesn't even allow you to talk back to it. All you can do is obediently say "Okay" and sulk away forever knowing that you're powerless against the mega-superpower that is Facebook.

Total abuse of power! ;__;

It's so strange! Isn't it? I thought that most people liked tall and skinny. I didn't attempt to upload a.. lamp post or something. Facebook, you got problem with me is it? =_=;

Hmm but actually, come to think of it, tall and skinny isn't really what I prefer :S

I've never liked tall.. I always like those that are quite short ^o^ But not the tiny ones mind you! I never liked the really short ones.. but just at the right height ^o^ 

My 'height of choice', however, is considered short for most people @_@ Maybe because I'm short to begin with, too :P

Skinny is such a loaded word. First thing that pops into people's mind is a malnourished body ToT and then comes the negative connotations of underweightness and all those horrible horrible eating disorders... 

To be skinny is to be afflicted with a disease! ;_; To be a victim of fashion :(

But I detest fat and obese :P Its not that I can't make friends of have contact with them, its just that I wouldn't really bother looking at them unless I really had to. I love looking at beautiful and nice nice things.. ><;

I'm one of those ignorant bastards that turn a blind eye and a deaf ear towards all the ugliness humanity has to present to me v_v; I'm ashamed of myself.. I'm blushing... :(

I found that my preference would be best described as slim ^_^ Although its often filled fully at the.. appropriate areas~ *sigh* simple adjectives can never live up to my tastes~ *swoons*

...ahem.

Ok la Facebook, I guess after further introspection I realized that your harsh and hasty judgement towards my feeble attempt to upload an insignificant picture in your domain wasn't so discriminatory after all. Sorry dude.

But jeez, a little tact wouldn't hurt TwT

The Chameleon

What is a chameleon?

original art by JohnSu. Awesome artist! Check out his amazing character designs here! ^o^

A chameleon is a person named after their amazing adaptability towards their surroundings.

Most of us are able to identify chameleons whenever we see a person that unconditionally accepts and follows whatever the other person wants and does. What to eat? Well what do you fell like eating? Lets go eat that ^o^ Maybe they'll even order the exact same foods as you. The might even go so far as to watch movies that they'll never ever watch on their own will, but watch because you want to watch.

While this conformity makes the chameleon a perfect partner to being around just to have company, like every other archetype, this characteristic of the chameleon can be very troublesome.

First of all, you can never ever rely on a chameleon to make a decision. You'll always have to make the first move and the chameleon will follow. Happily ^o^

But are chameleons really happy?

We'd have to look a lot deeper than just asking them "hey are you happy?" Because they'd just ask you "well are you happy? If you're happy I'd be happy too ^_^" Bad idea :P

pa~ddle pop~ wow~ pa~ddle pop~
yay~ super duper yummy ^O^

There are two types of chameleons. The first one is the color-chameleon. These are the most popular type of chameleons and are named after their skin that are able to change color almost on command *_* Just like the characteristic of chameleon's skin, the color-chameleon's ability lies only upon the surface. They might be happy on the outside, readily following you through thick and thin, but what's happening on the inside might not be the same.

If they end up forcing themselves to change to a color that's uncomfortable to them for too long, they might snap and just like a startled chameleon, show their true colors XD Its not that these guys are fakes, though. Its really important to understand that the main motivation of color-chameleons is the (misguided) assumption that shared interests equal closer bonds, and (more dangerously) differences in interests creates distance.

No, guys. Chameleons listen up >o< If you have shared interests, great, you immediately have a common ground and can spend time doing the things you like to do the most together ^o^ But in the long run, you might be spending a little too much time seeing each other, and that might make is a little.. boring? Overwhelming? You get what I mean, right?

And if you have differences in interests, its actually a good thing ^o^ Why? A lot of people assume that having different interests would make making conversation different for the lack of topics. It's actually quite the opposite. Because if both parties really are interested in getting to know each other, it is yet another thing that would help the process of getting to know a person ^_^ nothing like learning why a person is interested in whatever they're interested in~ and how they spend their time~ Plus, you get to learn something new as well :D

hurp derp <__>

The second type of chameleon is the eye-chameleon. These are not as popular and are named after the (surprisingly) less known fact that chameleon's eyes can rotate independent from each other. They're the safest people to cross the road with because they can look both left and right XD Unlike the color-chameleon who's ability is only skin-deep, eye-chameleon's are like that because of the way they're built. Its in their software and their hardware.

The main reason why eye-chameleons are able to freely follow their friends to do anything and everything is because they don't have any preferences whatsoever. They have no stand, and no point of view. I'd blame this on education systems that mold students into receptive sponges that don't know how to think for themselves, but sometimes it's also the individual's fault. Some people are just drifters and say whatever to anything~ Its kinda good in a way, though, as they're rarely considered picky or pushy.

Ask them to make decisions, though, and you'll never get one. Eye-chameleons are always the followers in the group and never give suggestions to anything. Great if you're a leader, bad if you need a leader. The most dangerous case of an eye-chameleon is the fact that because they're always so lackadaisical, they're rarely invested in anything they do, which might include their friendship.

I make eye-chameleons sound like such useless people. Like they have no aim in life and have zero ambition XD That's kinda true.. but I'd rather think of it as people who have not found their direction in life or developed preferences in things they'd rather or rather not do. And sometimes you don't need a preference. Its cool to be able to tolerate any and every kind of music and/or people and/or language (you'd be labeled as racist otherwise :P)

There is one kind of eye-chameleon that has an ambition, though. And that's the tunnel-vision-eye-chameleon. These eye-chameleons only have one goal in life, and that's to be the ultimate follower of someone or something. The best example of this are the people that aim to be 'the best wife/husband ever' :P These people live solely for their husband or wife, and will do whatever they want and build their entire lives once they get together with their target. Break ups are the most devastating for tunnel-vision-eye-chameleons because their world literally ends as they have to start from zero and search for a new person to base their life around ;_;

I wonder if anybody would want to be a chameleon after reading what I've written here XD Its not really that bad, though. Sometimes being a chameleon is a good thing ^_^ you get to avoid almost all conflict ever. Unless someone's forcing you to make a decision :P 

As always, don't judge a chameleon for its color, or the direction(s) its looking. Under all that copying and indecisiveness is a person that's not very confident in themselves and is only trying their best to be close to you~ and maybe even understand you better ^o^ it wouldn't hurt for you to understand them better as well :)

The Time Traveler's Sleeping Habits

(not a sequel to The Time Traveler's Wife)

Once upon a time, there was a young boy that loved to procrastinate. Whenever something became a routine for him, he procrastinated. It was so bad that he even procrastinates on eating. "Food tastes the yummiest when you're starving, though! D:" he would refute.

Being a fierce procrastinator, our hero always faced the problem of not having enough time. "Sigh. Why don't I ever have enough time to do what I want? T_T" he would bemoan.

One day night, while he was about to sleep, he saw a shooting star outside his window. Because he grew up watching Disney (tm) movies, he frantically began to chant his wish; "I wanna be able to time travel! Time travel time travel time travel! Then I'll have all the time I'll ever need! *o*o*o*o*o*o*"

aand he fell asleep. By the way, he needs to wake up early tomorrow morning because he has to go to work :( Like, really early, in 4 hours time, actually.

<<fast forward 4 hours later, insert owl sound here *hoot hoot*>>

The sun BLASTED into our hero's eyes >_< "WHAT the hell I can't even sleep properly =A=" he complained. He shut the curtains and looked at the clock.

"*grumble* 6:58...? I can afford to sleep for 2 more minutes.. ~w~" and so he blinked.

(Editor's note: Now for those of you that don't know, when people blink, their eyes close for about one fifth of a second and reopen almost instantly)

When he opened his eyes and adjusted them to look at the clock again, it was 8:34!! "SH*T!" He exclaimed, "!@#$#%#$!" (sorry no subtitles) and he rushed to work.

While he was on the train on the way to work, he was exhausted and sweating due to all the rushing and running around. "Bruwh *wipes sweat* I only blinked.. why did time pass by so fast? Did I sleep?" he sighed to catch his breath, "but.. I'm still so exhausted.."

And the camera zoomed to his face, and to his left eye, and realization materialized within that brown iris of his!

"I TIME TRAVELED!(?)!!"

...he exclaimed. In the train. Everyone was looking at him. Morning train, packed and all. Awkward. "Never mind v_v" he told himself, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep to avoid the judgmental stares...

All of the sudden, he heard the monotonous train woman saying Next. Station :) <insert last station's name here> Station ^o^

"WHAT?! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!"

y-you're my character~ you time traveled, man! ..Isn't that what you w-wished for? ^o^; Don't get m-ma-- eh wait why am I having this conversation with my blog =A=

"G*ddamnit, I time traveled again +_+ This is getting out of control," our hero grumbled non-stop, heading back the way he came from. This time he tried his best not to accidentally time travel, so he tried his best not to blink.

"O_O okay.. so I can time travel.. that's pretty cool. Apparently I can only travel to the future this way.. but I guess it can be useful," he added with a smirk. It looked a little strange, smirking with wide open eyes. 

"Gotta learn how to control it though," and disregarding any and all copyright laws, "with great power, comes great resp-"

Next. Station :) <insert workplace station's name here> Station ^o^

He was relieved that he was finally going to reach his destination. Although a full three hours late. "Better late than never, right? Phew v_v" he sighed a sigh of relief.

"Wait O_O" his eyes swung open.

Next.

"Oh,"

Station :)

"shit."

<insert home station's name here> Stat-

"AAAAA *screams and camera pans out to the train, out to the city, out to the country, out to the world, out to the galaxy~ XD* AAAAAAAAAUGH!! D:"

-ion.. o_o;;

...

...

...

And so ends the story of how our hero discovered his wonderful suberpower of time traveling~ to the future. Only. Use it wisely k ^_~

..oh. What about his job? He took M.C. that day ^o^;

Cold Joke
