Apple Crazy Family

Because last night I was hit by not one but 13 Apples when I was sitting under the tree.  Beat Newton 13:1.
Just kidding.  There's no apple trees in Malaysia though I wish they have.  It will actually mean we would have cooler climates around.

When I mention Apple, of course I am referring to THE Apple products, started by the infamous Steve Job and it's no secret that I am a HUGE Apple fan ever since their first iPhone came out.  Remember me refusing to leave the Japan's Apple store when iPhone 5 first came out here and goggling over all the endless choices of iPhone cases and accessories.  Oh, the good ol' times.

It's also not news that there's a strong rivalry between the two giant Smartphone Companies aka Apple and Samsung and it's also not news that when an Android user (usually Samsung owners) meets an iPhone owner, there will be instant eye war and the 'toe to head look', sizing up each other and then walk away, accepting our differences OR proceed to bickering about why Samsung or iPhone is better.  Today we are NOT going to bicker about whether Samsung is better or iPhone is better (of course iPhone is better, I was just kidding you!) but to look at who is the bigger winner from all this taking sides and bickering!

I heart heart heart heart heart my iPhone.

Earlier this month, Allison Morris from MBAonline.com contacted me because she came across my Apple vs Samsung post <3.  She did a very extrinsic research and came up with an intrigue graphic design with her team of designers of the breakdowns of Apple and Samsung's selling, shipping, earnings, profits with the gigantic title "Could Samsung Take Apple Down" and finally showing who is having the last laugh from the competition.  I mean I was curious myself to know who did better last year with the new iPhone 5, new Macbooks, iPads and etc in the market after Steve Job's passing away and Cook took over + the release of SO MANY (I can never keep up with Samsung) Samsung models aka Samsung S III, Samsung S III mini, Samsung Note 2, Samsung this and Samsung that, you know, so that if Apple did better I can rub it in Android user's face! Lolol. I am not just kidding.  So, let the competition comparison begin!

Well, it seems like in terms of profit, Apple fair much better because they did not spend that much on commercials or Advertising because who needs advertisement when you are Apple >D  Apple users are more loyal?  WRONG!  We just know which is better and more worth of the quality.  Hueahueaheae.  I mean seriously, it doesn't hang, there's tonnes of free apps around or heck, an app is just USD 0.99 or USD 1.99.  Don't tell me you can't afford that, like seriously.  You spend more on your donut or make up >D  It has awesome camera AND it looks classy.  I can only tell your Samsung models judging by the size of the phone.  It's either smaller or bigger.

There's only one two good thing about all this crazy competition going around:  The first one is forcing the two giant smartphone companies to compete and come up with better, more quality product and two, they are creating more and more job opportunities!

I realized Apple is like a woman.  You give them something, they multiply and make it better for you >D  You give them shit, they give you hell.  Heauehaeahuea.  So, don't mess with Apple!

Hold and behold, our family is FULL PROOF APPLE SUPPORTER!  We always term ourselves as "the Apple Family" (sounds familiar?  The Adams Family lol)


No, we are not selling Apple products


Every single one of us has various different taste in covers so even though it's all basically the same thing, it looks so different when we line it up and yes, there's 6 iPads ranging from iPad 2 to iPad 4 / The New iPad, FIVE iPhone 5, one iPod Touch and one iPod classic.  There's other spoiled iPods lying around but it would't be fair to put in the spoiled one so yeah, last night I was hit by these 13 Apples.  Totally blown away. (For the record, they are all 64gb)



HEH HEH HEH.  One of my more 'creative brain' talking.  Oh well, it's pretty fun >D Okay if you didn't get what it meant, it says WWW.mishberries.COM <3

So, welcome to my humble blog.  I seek to entertain :D

I Finally Got My First Ever Tattoo

Yes ladies and gentleman, I have done it.  I mean it wasn't a spur of the moment thing.  People who knows me must have heard of my desire to get a tattoo at least once or twice and after several visits to several tattooist shop and selecting the tattooist of my choice, made appointment to discuss the designs and of course the price, oh the price is a bomb, I kid you not, and ta-da, I'VE GOT IT!!!


To those of you who are close to me, I am really sorry that I did not confided in you earlier regarding this because I don't want you guys to change my mind or talk me out of it as I have thought and considered about this very very seriously over the span of few years.  So mummy, I am super sorry that you have to find out through my blog instead of me telling it to you because I really could not sum up my courage to tell it to you as I know you are dead against me getting one.  But what's done is done ma, you can't really just scrap that piece of skin off me like you constantly tell me you would ._.  So yes, I am expecting a call from you very soon, but please, just read to the end because I will be stating my reasons of why I got this tattoo.


Well, without further ado,




MY FIRST EVER TATTOOOOOOOOOO 



Well to you it might just be a silly, simple tattoo that spells LOVE but this is not those type of love that you think it is.  I am not a delusional 13 year old teen girl who goes there needling herself with the word 'love' because of romance.  This is the love that I feel towards both of my parents, forever lasting and skin deep.  After such a long consideration, I finally decided on this.  I am here today because of the two of them.   The love and affection that they have showed me, the care and the pain that they have to go through from the things that I've done, the everlasting love that they have for me.  That's the exact same love that I have for them which is why I got this tattoo.  I think it's intimate and it means so much to me.


Yeah well anyways, I am NOT asking YOU to go tattoo yourself nor encouraging, don't get me wrong.  I just want to share what I've done with all of you and before you even think of inking yourself, please please please think it through because it is something that will last forever. Even if you decide to remove it one day, it will still leave laser scars and that is not a pretty sight.


I've done hours and hours of research before thinking of getting one so please, tattoo is not something that you should get in a spur of the moment thing!  If you just want to have fun or think it's something cool, then you should just go for temporary tattoo and not a permanent one.


Anyways, all of you must be dead curious of whether or not it hurts.  Oh you sadistic people.  OF COURSE IT HURTS!  But I won't say unbearable.  I think the tolerance level for everyone is different and I did choose to tattoo myself at quite a tender part I would say.  It still have that red marking around the fresh tattoo even up till now but my tattooist says it will go away in a couple of hours so I guess it should be fine.


I must point this out:  Who says only doctors have steady hands??  Tattooist DO TOO!!  Especially on calligraphy tattoo like this and where some of the lines are real thin.  There's no cover up or thickening of the line so they CANNOT go wrong at all!!  Thank goodness the tattooist is super experienced and professional, which is why, selecting the right tattooist is of utmost importance!


I will let you guys know how it's healing in a few days time but in the meanwhile, another picture of me with my new beloved tattoo!! <3  So HAPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! <3





"Hey there <3"



The info of the tattooist including their Facebook portfolio is at the bottom of the page.  Be sure to check them out! <3

All Our Little Quirks

What's "QUIRK"?



quirks  3rd person singular present, plural of quirk (Noun)

Noun
  1. A peculiar behavioral habit: "his annoying quirks".
  2. A strange chance occurrence: "a strange quirk of fate".



That is what quirk is.  In simple words, it is not just a habit. It is a weird habit that one have.

I was just thinking about it this morning and within 15 minutes, I could name a number of quirks that I have.  I was surprised to be honest, to realize that I actually have quirks.  To think I was normal.  Pft.


Okay, yours truly is very bad at drawing on anything other than MS Paint but I tried >D  Thanks Godbro for lending me your tablet! <3


First of all, I dislike socks.

Yes, socks.

For all of you who comes from a 4 season country you must think I am mad but from where I come from, it is actually pretty normal to NOT wear socks, especially for females.  I am fine with stockings, I just don't like socks.  We don't have winter so most of the time you will catch me with flip flop, sandals, open toes or any other footwear but shoes.

I don't do any form of exercise except one where it requires me to move my lower jaw and upper jaw.  An exercise also known as chewing.  And swallowing.  That's the closest to any form of exercise that I would do, so there's perfectly no reason for me to wear any form of closed toe shoes.

Reason:  I always have trouble with washing socks because I refuse to wash them with any of my other clothing.  I find it disgusting but I will not stand to actually collect an entire basket of socks before I can wash it, so that's the reason why I hate socks.  I don't know how should I wash them.



Second, I used to peel my toe nail when I am under stress.


During assignment days or exam days, I will automatically start peeling my toe nail every time I sit down and have my books opened in front of me.  Of course I know that's even more disgusting that washing socks but it's a quirk, and I can't help it.  Until I tore half of my little toe nail once.

That's a very good lesson to make me stop and I haven't touched any toe nail ever since except for pedicure purposes.


Third, I am a very needy person.  With my blanket.

Be the weather hot or cold, I MUST have my blanket covered up till my neck before I can actually sleep.  Even if I am taking a nap at 2 in the afternoon at a 33°C weather where it makes my sleep so uncomfortably sweaty and sticky.

I can't help it, it's a quirk.

Reason:  I feel insecure without my blanket ;_;  Like I said, I am very needy of my blanket, oh Mr Blanket <3



Fourth, (which I personally think a lot of you have this as well >D), no nail no finger no toe OUTSIDE of the bed frame.  Each inch of my body must be within the bed's perimeter at ALL times.


Yes I know there's no Boogie man or even if there is one, my bed's frame is made of solid wood so I don't think Boogie man can hide underneath it BUT still, I can never, ever sleep safely if any part of my body is over the perimeter of the bed.  It's just, wrong.

"Mish, put your darn finger back into the blanket, RIGHT NOW!" is what my brain would alert me when I put a nail out of the line.


Fifth, I always save the best for the last (in food).

I've gotten this numerous time.

"Why don't you start with the main course instead of the side dishes?"
"Wouldn't the nicest part of your food gets cold and then it won't be nice anymore?"
"Aren't you afraid of anyone eating your favourite food because they though you cannot finish it?"

I just can't.  I simply have to finish my least favourite portion of the meal before I start on my favourite food because it's just so satisfying to eat the best pieces at the very last few mouthful.  It's a feeling of satisfaction.

Well I eat pretty fast, so the food is still pretty warm by the time I finish it :D

No.  They will have to get past me first before they can touch my food.


This are some of the quirks that I have, or at least I realize I have.  Some people don't even realize their own quirks, for e.g.  my mom >D

She has this quirk of staring at people when she's eating.

Well not stare per se, it just appear as though she is staring but according to her, she did it unconsciously and she is simply looking everywhere absent mindedly instead of having her whole face blasted by the steam that is coming from the food and she is simply eating and not thinking of anything but for anyone who is sitting opposite her aka me or her friends, it really does seem like she is staring intently at your face and every time we ask her "yeah? anything?" she will say "no" then it appears as though she is thinking of something about you but she is not telling.  But no, it's just a quirk lol.  If you ever have a meal with my mom, you will know >D

(In all honesty, I think I do that at times as well but because of my micro size eyes, people usually don't realize.  Should I be happy or sad? I can't decide.)

These are just few example of quirks that I have.  I have read somewhere that for some people when they lie, you can tell immediately (but only if you are close to the person to begin with) because they will exhibit certain tell-tale signs such as rubbing their nose or ruffling through their hair, things like that.

So what about you?  Have you given any thought on this?  What's YOUR quirk? Let me know in the comment section below! <3

Don't Worry, Keep Calm and the Solution Shall Come


Some pretty flowers <3  If is my dream to visit a Lavendar Farm <3

Not sure if you guys saw this coming but I am sure you have seen this all around the net this week and I am sorry that I am taking part in it but I am doing this because I truly care about all of you (part of it) and also I want to be cared too (real intention).

Just kidding lol.  Well like all of you who knows probably a month before me, GFC is going down and BlogLovin' / Facebook is going up.  For those that I am already following on BlogLovin, that's cool.  For those of you who does not have BlogLovin, it would be great if you could have one, that way I can still follow and read on any updates from you immediately.  It would really be a pain if I could not remember your URL then I lose you forever.  That would be such a shame.

There's only so much my brain can remember and I could only remember less than 10 blog urls as of now (my brain ain't my greatest asset), so remember to give my BlogLovin some love <3  I thrive too from the love and attention that you give me as each and every comment means a lot to me, except the generic copy and paste comment.  No offense meant so non taken please.  Lol, I mean the more the merrier :D  And I ain't picky =P

So anyhoo, feel free to follow me on Facebook or BlogLovin' as I will update new post on one manually while the other does it automatically for me >D  Perfect for a lazy person such as myself <3

See you next round (soon!)!


Lol okay.  Just a random fun.  Yesterday a bunch of friends and I were competing to see who types faster so we went to www.typingtest.com and took the first test.  1 Minute, English, The Enchanted Typewritter and this is my result.  What's yours? Would you like to let me know?

I can only say, this typing skills comes from online gaming but sadly I am not the fastest ;_;

50 Things a Girl Would Want but Not Ask For - Yay or Nay?

This morning  I was blasted yet again with something like this:

"50 things a girl would want but not ask for" and the lists goes on and on and on and on and on.  I stopped at Number 10 and thought to myself:



Then I started thinking that all this people (female) are ridiculous for wanting all this things (read below) (no I am kidding, don't read it, ain't nobody got time for that man):

1. Touch her waist.
2. Actually talk to her.
3. Share secrets with her.
…4. Give her your jacket.
5. Kiss her slowly.

Are you remembering this?
6. Hug her.
7. Hold her.
8. Laugh with her.
9. Invite her somewhere.
10. Hangout with her and your friends together.

KEEP READING ..
11. Smile with her.
12. Take pictures with her.
13. Pull her onto your lap.
14. When she says she loves you more, deny it. Fight back.
15. When her friends say “I love her more than you”, deny it. Fight back and hug her tight so she can’t get to her friends. It makes her feel loved.

Are you thinking of someone?
16. Always hug her and say I love you whenever you see her.
17. Kiss her unexpectedly.
18. Hug her from behind around the waist.
19. Tell her she’s beautiful.
20. Tell her the way you feel about her.

One last thing you need to do to show her you actually do mean it.
21. Open doors for her, walk her to her car - it makes her feel protected, plus it never hurts to act like a gentleman.
22. Tell her she’s your everything - only if you mean it.
23. If it seems like there is something wrong, ask her - if she denies something being wrong, it means SHE DOESN’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT - so just hug her.

24. Make her feel loved.
25. Kiss her in front of OTHER girls you know!

WE MIGHT DENY IT BUT WE ACTUALLY LIKE AND KINDA WANT YOU TO TICKLE US ..
26. Don’t lie to her.
27. DON’T cheat on her.
28. Take her ANYWHERE she wants.
29. Text message or call her in the morning and tell her have a good day at school, and how much you miss her.
30. Be there for her whenever she needs you, and even when she doesn’t need you, just be there so she’ll know that she can always count on you.

ARE YOU STILL READING THIS? YOU BETTER, BECAUSE IT’S IMPORTANT.
31. Hold her close when she’s cold so she can hold you too.
32. When you are alone hold her close and kiss her.
33. Kiss her on the cheek; (it will give her the hint that you want to kiss her).
34. While in the movies, put your arm around her and then she will automatically put her head on your shoulder, then lean in and tilt her chin up and kiss her lightly.

35. Don’t ever tell her to leave even jokingly or act like you’re mad. If she’s upset, comfort her.

REMEMBER ALL THESE THINGS WHEN YOU ARE WITH HER NEXT ..
36. When people diss her, stand up for her.
37. Look deep into her eyes and tell her you love her.
38. Lay down under the stars and put her head on your chest so she can listen to the steady beat of your heart, link your fingers together while you whisper to her as she rests her eyes and listens to you.
39. When walking next to each other grab her hand.
40. When you hug her, hold her in your arms as long as possible.

MAKE SURE SHE KNOWS SHES LOVED.
41. Call or text her at night to wish her sweet dreams.
42. Comfort her when she cries and wipe away her tears.
43. Take her for long walks at night.
44. Always remind her how much you love her.
45. Sit on top of her and tell her how much you love her and then bend down to her face and kiss her while you’re sitting on her.


ULTIMATE LOVE
46.  Buy her things that she hinted she likes.
47.  Be very nice and courteous to her side of her family.
48.  Ditch your game for her when she needs you.
49.  Never let her wait on you.
50.  Bring her to all the places that she wants to go.

(yes I am silently mocking fifty shades of grey, problem?)


I mean, what the heck is all of this?  We female are just a normal person like you and me.  We don't need a guide to our partner on 'how to' or 'what to' do or how a person should treat us.

And even more annoying, if you want something you should ask.  Why wait?  And if you are going to wait but it never happens, then you feel disappointed or sad.  That's  just asking for it, isn't it?  And I believe that I don't need to check on everything on that list ot show that he loves me.  I don't need him to do each number to let me know that he is in love with me and what, is this list exhaustive or repetitive?  How often does a guy have to do this in a month?  Or does he have to do this every other day?  Or is this one list to last for an entire life time? 

E.g.  Number 25:  Why not change that sentence to Public Display Affection.  Sounds just about the same.

And I've also thought that won't guys feel that their girlfriend is super needy or attention seeking or "What did I do?  Why is she upset?"  I thought all this are simply female's expectation of what a boyfriend or a husband should be but seriously, what about putting yourself in their shoes?  What if today, the net is filled with list of 100 THINGS OF WHAT A GUY WANTS BUT NEVER ASK, and when you (female) don't do what's on the list, your boyfriend throws a tantrum or accuse you of not loving him enough?  I will simply give you the eyebrow:






MS Paint strikes once more!  Mr Skeptical Eyebrow!





However, all this are simply my thoughts and assumptions and to prove one is right, one gotta ask the right person so I shamelessly interrupted 4 male friends early in the morning to ask their opinion on this.  My exact question was: 


 "What's your opinion when you see those list posted by girls like "50 things guys must do" Do you disagree or do you actually agree with it?"

"Those list are ridiculous"

"Who the hell expect guys to follow it?"

"This girls are hopeless"

....was what I expect to hear.  Instead, what I actually got was (which surprised me)

"Tbh I actually read them.  I don't think they apply to everybody (that'd be stereotyping) so I just keep in mind and try to apply whichever is relevant.  Just a fun read, that can be useful at times :P"

"For me i think its a fun read.  Errr...well...yeah i think i can agree to some of it.  If the list sounds too one sided i would not agree though"

"I'm agreeing with it, hahaha"

"From what I can see it's just like someone who's begging for affirmation.  The fact that it's 24/7 is kinda ugh Can't I just trust her to know I love her?  On that note this checklist seems like a rapist's/molestor's dream"

HAHAHA at the last one.  But it is surprising to find that 3 out of 4 of my male friends actually think it's okay to have such a list! o.o  Now that is REALLY surprising.

Then it struck me.  Perhaps if there is really a list of 50 Things that a Guy Wants but not Ask, perhaps I would actually take the time or at least have interest to read it, rather than reading 50 things that a Girl wants.  Perhaps it's because I am a female myself therefore I think such list is 'nah, urgh, boo' but put it the other way round, I would want to know what my male counterpart is thinking or do things that would please them, just as how le boyfriend or le husband wants to do things to please their female counterpart as well.

So, I asked these few guys another question:

"Do you think that there should be a list like that from male to female? Because most of the ones we see out there is from female to male"

"mm imo nope :P  if I have any particular preferences, I'd prefer my gf discover them through myself or observation, rather than me blatantly stating them on a list lol. "  <-- Well, that's my exact thought on the girl's list >.>  So we think the same when we are on the other side >D

"Err...idk.got mix feeling like one part seems like interesting read and one part is it would sound gay.  I guess it depends on how good it is delivered i guess"

"i cant wait to read that hahahha"

So this time, it is a mixed feeling thing for guys to read or think if it's necessary to have a list of guide for girls to let them know what their male counterpart likes without telling them.

All I can sum up is, in the end such list perhaps is not as useless as what I thought it would be, at least for their counterparts.  The sex where the list is aimed for perhaps might think its useless but their counterpart might think differently.  I guess it's always different when we see things from another perspective.  A pretty interesting perspective in this matter, I would say.

So anyways, I've further threaded on these few kind guy's courtesy and ask them to come up with few things that a guy would like a girl to do for them for your sake <3

1.  Cook a nice meal when they comes back from work.
2.  Gives him a big, tight hug when your guy is stressed from work.
3.  Letting your guy do his hobby.
4.  Not getting too friendly with his bros.
5.  Wearing his T-shirt or hoodie and game like bro.
6.  Girls who wears spectacles, not hipster spectacle but spectacle.


Yeah well, the list ain't too long because some of the things that they want from their girlfriend is actually the same as some of the list from What a girl wants so that one same list could be used vice versa towards your guy and I believe that they would appreciate it just as much as you do.

At the end of the day, I still gotta agree with this male friend where he mentioned:

"Well on top of my list would be having a girl to love and accept me for who I am.  I think that's the single most important thing to me, beyond that it's mostly petty preferences"

and that's what I think what my partner should be too.  Accepting of who I am, love who I am be it when I am being an ass, bitch, spoiled, nice, angel, devil or any other form that I can take and the same goes to him.  We all have our differences but it is learning and the ability to adapt to each others differences that makes the relationship lasts.  If you really can't accept each others differences, it would be better if the relationship just stop at being just friends as it will bring you nowhere.




First 3 months of every relationship >D




Following months / years of relationship until it ends >D

To the 4 male friends, thank you for your interesting feedbacks.  <3

How about the rest of you?  I would love to know what you think.  Let me know!

- From nothing to something, Life is created

You know you are addicted to Candy Crush when you start trying to arrange your desktop icons to 3 in a row unconsciously when you are talking on the phone.

Orz.

Thank goodness life does not revolve around me and crushing candies.  Life is much more bigger and important than that.

I came across a wonderful creation the other day that I believe it's worth sharing because it is artistic, environmental friendly and pretty.  Useful in so many levels (unlike scumbag Candy Crush levels ._.).

I present to you:


Original Images and Article from Here

Any idea what this is?  It's an old phone booth transformed into a beautiful aquarium in  Osaka, Japan!

Hence the title "From nothing to something, Life is Created".  Ever since the introduction of smartphones and tablets, phone booths / payphones are something of the past and has ever since been neglected.  It became a waste of space and taxpayers money to maintain or fix such payphones so an artist collaborative called Kingyobu (Literal translation: "Gold Fish Club") came up with the idea of creating something beautiful to the eye, life sustaining and it's free!



The artists hard at work


Ain't it beautiful?





They started converting payphones into giant goldfish aquarium - a really fantastic idea and not to mention fun!  It also serves as a very unique attraction and appealing to anyone irregardless of their age or profession, locals or tourists!  It really is just a simple idea but sometimes simplicity is the best and this is one very good example of it.



Obvious Caption:  Japanese lady taking pictures of the pweety swimming fishes!


Here's a short trivia for you all <3

Goldfish is deemed important in the Japanese culture that there are lots of Kingyobu/Gold Fish Clubs around that specialized in breeding Goldfish ever since Goldfish was introduced to Japan in the 1500 which were only allowed to be bred by Samurai or the Aristocrat families.

There are even various grand Goldfish competition going on around all year long in Japan where notably the most famous one is the All Japan Ranchu Show that is held every November 3rd for the past 50 years and the grand winner will be bestowed upon a certificate signed by the Prime Minister of Japan (goldfish and PM signed Certificate O.O).

There's also the old 'Goldfish scooping game' or properly known as the "Battle of the Natsu-yasumi) that has been made popular and can be found in nearly every summer festival in Japan where visitors pays a small amount of money to get a chance on trying to fish a baby goldfish using a thin layer of tissue paper (which can be seen in a lot of anime).

At times, life should just be simple, fun and easy and full of creativity.  It makes me smile to know that there are people out there who cares to have fun (in the right way) and not just work, work and money talk all the way.  <3



Last but not least,

LOL I bugged my Godbrother to draw me a Goldfish posing for a camera and he's like  (¬_¬) but he did it for me anyway, yay! <3

Have a great weekend!

Never Say Never

to Awards!

No, not to Justin Bieber.  I will only give him a "Ever say Never" to Justin Bieber.  It's not that I hate him.  I just find him untalented.

MOVING ON!

As I mentioned in my SAYS NO ONE EVER post,  ねこちゃん has nominated me for a Liebster Blog Award <3



YAY!  *confetti*

Lol, I was really overwhelmed when Neko awarded me an award because I have always seen it around on other people's blog but I never know what it is or how to get it, other than it's a pretty looking award badge that you can proudly put on your blog.

So when I got it, like I mentioned previously I have no idea what this is or how to do this.  Do I enter some kind of 'contest'?  Do I need votes or so?  After a bit of digging around, I seem to get a short answer to my questions.

No one really knows the origin of Liebster Blog Award and Liebster means "Dearest" in German (so perhaps we might just have a vague idea of the country of origin of this award >D).

It acts like a chain mail but the nice type where you pass this 'award' around fellow bloggers who has less than 200 readers (probably judging from their GFC number), motivating new bloggers around the world to "hang in there, you will get there" and not give up on blogging because that's what most people do.

After nominating other fellow bloggers, you are allowed to ask them 11 questions and if they want to accept the award, they will have to post the 11 questions that you have prepared for them on their blog and answer them.  Nominated bloggers are of course allowed to reject the award and no worries, nothing bad will happen to you <3  See?  This award is cool :D

So here's my ELEVEN from Neko <3

ELEVEN

Where do you see yourself in ten years from now?

That's one really tough question, Neko lol.  10 years from now, of course I want to be a successful person in whatever I do, be it blogging (yes I do intend to blog until I am old and saggy and you are welcome for that mental image that I've just dropped on you) or my current work.  I want to (which I will) be reunited with my love ones where we just stay under one roof in one State instead of several different State or countries.  Strive for my goals together with the people around me who has been supporting me since day 1, aka my Godbrother and Passion Laboratory.  Meeting new friends that I would love to keep for the next 10 years and more, like Peet.  Well basically everything good and positive.  Who would want to go downhill in the future lol.  We only want to climb higher, steeper and faster than everyone else =P




If someone gave me 100$ to spend immediately, what or who would it be for?

Hmm.  If there's nothing that I have on my want-to-get-list for now, most likely I would save it up first.  :D  Spend wise!  100 bucks is not that easy to come by DD


My favourite piece of clothing (shoes & co. included)

I love dresses.  All kinds of dresses.  Casual dress, beach dress, night gowns, party dress, dress dress dress.  As long as they are a one piece clothing and they fit into me, they will be my new instant love.  Hahaha.  Shoes o.o  Favourite shoes.  My favourite shoes is this:




Well, you did ask ._.  This shoe has been with me for 2 years and it still looks brand new.  This faithful pair of shoes has kept my feet warm when I left an imprint of my weight on the snow of Fuji Mountain and it still looks brand new till today.



Japan Trip 

YES I know it's a male shoe.  What can I say?  They make the most comfortable male shoes and some alien shoes that tries very hard to deform a female feet with all those arches and heels ;_;

Once, my mom walked into my apartment and shouted out loud "Why is there a guy's shoe here?  WHICH MALE HAS BEEN TO YOUR APARTMENT?"  I gave her a really intimidating bish stare that looks like this:







I tried ;_;

Anyways, she totally forgotten about my Camel Active shoe lol and she thought I had a boy over or something.  I felt so misunderstood for having a pair of comfortable shoes around T_T


What's my favourite Video or computer game?

Ooh this is tough because there are too many!  For NOW, my absolute YouTube love is Alex Goot because he is simply mesmerizing!  I shall not tell on how awesome he is in case I 'sense' competition.  Period.

Computer game!  Wow lol.  My old time favourite is of course Ragnarok Online :D  The flat one, not the new HD one because I haven't got around trying it.  I spent so much sleepless night over it and getting to know lots of people from around the world and that's when I started laughing 'hauehauehauehaueha' up till today.  That's a Brazillian laugh, fyi.  >D

The good ol' days.

Is there any "special" person (dead or alive) that I would like to meet?

For now it's probably my maternal grandmother.  She's like a second mom to me because when mommie's working, grandma will be at home taking care of me :D  She cooks the most delicious crab on Earth among many other things and she says some of the wisest things despite not having a chance on education.  Grandma passed away last June but we weren't sad because she has lived a very vibrant life.  She passed away at the age of 97 with 5 generations of her 'off-springs' by her death bed and we all loved her to bits.  I guess we have spent enough time with her and she has spent enough time with us that there wasn't much regret at the end.

Grandma did appear twice (in a night) in my dream once and it wasn't scary or creepy.  In fact it was quite heart warming and funny =')


Yes or No?

YES!  Never say no first!  Hahaha :D


What is my earliest childhood memory?

Oho-ho.  You know how some adults thinks babies are incapable of thinking and all they do is cry all day long?  My earliest memory was this:  I believe I was still a very young child as I was incapable of speech and my mom was holding me in her arms.  She was saying something and I was replying but she doesn't get it and after a few try, it because really annoying and I just cried thinking "WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING AT ALL!!"  It was many years later that I realized I was probably going 'gugu gaga' then 'waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' lol but that IS actually my earliest childhood memory lol.  Crazy.


Favourite beverage

Green tea lol


What special power would you choose:  Being able to fly, breath under water, read minds, look into the future, invisibility or immortality?

Either being able to fly or invisibility lol.  Damn, tough choices!  Being able to fly is awesome but I might get knocked by planes or maybe being weak towards kryptonite.  Being invisible means being able to go into any concert and being in VIP seats or watching free movies every Thursday in the cinema.  HMM.  Maybe I will go with invisibility.  Or fly. I don't know.  Damn.  I will think about it when the time comes.  LOL.


When did you first started blogging and why?

This is actually my third attempt at blogging lol.  My first one was more than 7 years back and when I look back at my first blog, it made baby seal cry because of the horrible English, grammar, content and 0mG ! tYp3 L!k3 tH!$!  Oh keel me please.

I actually really like my second blog which I started 3 years back but I discontinued it last March because I seldoml blog on it, like perhaps a post or two in few months time and there's a number of copyrighted pictures used =P  We were all young and innocent once pft.  

My current blog is my third and hopefully last :D  All pictures are duly credited and I am more active / motivated to blog more often!  :D 

WHY?   ANOTHER VERY GOOD QUESTION, NEKO!  

I saw blog as an opportunity and also a medium to record the parts and parcel of my life.  It doesn't always have to be an interesting post or out of the world post but something as simple as talking about my car's shelf life is expiring, a random act of kindness from a total stranger or to recording my travelling experiences so that I can share it with my relatives and one thing leads to another so ever since August last year up until now, I am proud to say that I have been enjoying my blogging experience so far and perhaps one day, I could just be a full time blogger instead of having a blog for fun and having another career :D

Last / First Question :D  What was my favourite tv series when I was a child?

Alias. 

Lol.  Not sure if any of you heard of this but that time there was no fancy CSI or Blue Blood or stuff like that.  It was the era of Alias, Beast master, Sydney Fox:  The Relic Hunter and so on.  To be honest I actually like all of them but if you really want me to pick one out, I would go with Alias because I like Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner)'s multiple changes in appearances and all.  I find it exotic and intoxicating lol.

My job here is done so here's 11 things that I would love to know about my nominees <3

More serious stuff:

1.  Look at who you were 5 years back and compare them to the current you.  Did you change a lot or you stay the same?

2.  Have you made any major decisions that changed the path of your life so far?

3.  When and why did you started blogging?

4.  What's your dream and are you going towards that direction each year or do you think you are going further away from it?  Or are you already living your dream?

5.  Do you believe in Love or Soul mates?

More light hearted stuff:

6.  If you could become an actor/actress, singer or artist, which would you choose to become?

7.  Which part of your body do you like most?

8.  If you are able to choose, would you choose to be a single child or have siblings?

9.  Ironman, Batman, Superman or Spiderman?

10.  The Moon or the Sun?

11.  Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin? >D

Dramas Indefinitely Happens




-Dramas:  Feeding the World negativities since xx B.C.-



Drama Indefinitely Happens

When more than one person co-exist.

Unless if you count having a mental drama with yourself but it is the inexplicable truth that drama definitely and WILL happen when there's more than one person in a certain given radius irregardless of their gender.

The type of drama that I meant is the emotional dramas that happens between you and someone else.  It's not those type of talent where you win an Oscar prize for it.  It's where and when you make your enemies, harness hate and gossips, shedding tears, breaking friendship or relationship, shoutings, backstabbing, spreading rumours and every other unpleasant things that you can think of.

It could happen online, at home, forum, work place, school, entertainment parks, photoshoot session, this, that, up, down, left, right, everywhere.  It's like this undying viral disease that has existed since Adam & Eve's time and the snake is the one that caused all the drama.

A wise man once told me:  If dramas could severe your own blood-family ties, drama will indefinitely happen between two strangers who are put together by circumstances and not by choice:  e.g. a project where you have to recruit people other than your usual own gang, joining a new work place, collaborating with new people that you have no experience working with etc etc.

It seems to me that most of the time, drama happens because of territorial insecurities.  Cliques or gangs tries to exert their rights or control over the minorities so the minorities either gets absorbed into the clique or they are singled out as easy target and that's when the beauty of drama begins.

Drama knows no sex, gender, sexual orientation nor the time and place.  It could happen anytime, anywhere and it could happen to anyone.  This three reminds me of omnipresent, omniscience and omnipotent lol!  No, drama does not equal God but there could always be God-level dramas.  >D  We have the drama queens, drama kings, drama secretary, the drama starter, drama encourager, drama sacrifice and every other positions that you can be part of.  Drama in soccer, drama within a drama, drama in the bedroom, drama everywhere.

Heck, so many tv shows made tons of money out of all this drama!  Celebrity reality shows, America's Next Top Model (ooh lala), The Apprentice, Cake Boss, CSI (drama within drama lol) and these are the famous ones among others.

Even Youtube celebrities gets drama.  Michelle Phan, the famous Youtube Make-up Artist has an entire forum dedicated to her just to hating her and I hate to say this, but her ONE THREAD in that forum has got more members, views and comments that I get in a month all put together lol!  And what's worst, I believe 98% of her hates have never met her before!  They just hate her, *snaps finger* like that!

Hating someone seems to be one of the easiest thing to do because it costs you nothing of value and you can just conjure hate out of thin air.  "I hate her guts" "I hate her attitude" "I hate his face" Bla bla bla.  Yada yada yada.  Babbles.

This entire post deserves an award.  An award for negativity x 100% lol.  And it is saddening to see that a lot of people at a lot of times and a lot of occasion does not see all this negativity happening around them.  They are involved in one drama or more and yet they either does not seem to realize they are in one or they are just truly enjoying of being in one.

Being in a drama, hating someone else, gossiping.  I find all this pretty tiring and never forget one thing:  Karma.  You could be having a drama with person A this time around and you have your gang backing you up this time but the next victim might just be you.  What goes round WILL come around and it's coming back at you pretty fast.  So I will say watch out.

It's always better to be sincere around others.  Say things straight forwardly even if it might sounds a bit offending at first because in the long run, it will serve you far better for being honest than being a hypocrite.  E.g. If you find me adjusting your laptop's brightness every time I use your laptop annoying, you gotta tell me if I did not stop doing that.  Tell me once and I will remember to adjust the laptop brightness back to it's original state, the way you like it rather than telling 10 or 15 person more about how I have this bad habit of adjusting your laptop brightness and not adjusting it back because telling one person is less tiring than telling 15 others and telling me once would rectify the problem.  Telling 15 times to 15 others and I will still be repeating the same thing because I simply don't know that whatever I am doing is annoying you!

And saying something behind a person's back does not make you the good guy or the polite guy.  It simply makes you a coward and a person who wants to create drama out of nothingness but what the heck, I do know a few people who cannot live without dramas.  It's as though they will die without one.

My message for today:



Strip yourself OFF this drama!



Strip yourself OFF this negativity!



Don't strip MORE than necessary!  That will invite more drama!  Especially when your company is your friend's lover!
