Sometimes when it rains and there is lots of negative ions in the air or what, it reminds me of the time where it was cold and chilly everyday, when everyday seem like a perfect time to sit in a cafe with your close friends and not do anything but talk trash. At that time, we were nothing but young minds and hearts, no troubles, only worries. As I grow older, I realized we do take a lot of things for granted, important and essential things like trust, love, friendship and concern. To a certain extent, even respect. But everyday is a new day, and life goes on. What to do?
Gossips are parts and parcels of our modern social lives. Nobody can live without it. When you meet an old friend on the streets and apart from the mandatory how are yous, what else do you engage in? Yes right, gossip. It could be about an old schoolmate, an old rival, or the school’s beauty queen whom you and friends were jealous of back then. When you and friends meet up on a Saturday afternoon at Starbucks or Spinelli, what do you guys engage in apart from the chilling and smoking? Gossip.
So what exactly is gossip, and why does it have such immerse drawing power in the face of social scene? The answer is, we are only humans.
Wikipedia define gossips as: Gossip (also called meddeling) is idle talk or rumour, especially about the personal or private affairs of others. It forms one of the oldest and most common means of sharing (unproven) facts and views, but also has a reputation for the introduction of errors and other variations into the information transmitted. The term also carries implications that the news so transmitted (usually) has a personal or trivial nature, as opposed to normal conversation.
Yes, gossip feels good. We as human beings, cannot live without gossips. It feels good to be kaypo about people’s affair, you and me, like everyone else, is kaypo. It feels good to talk shit about people behind their backs, and getting people to agree with you. It eases your insecurity to know that someone dislike the person you dislike too, so that you know you are not alone. You know you are not wrong in disliking somebody, its like a justification kind of remedy.
But unfortunately, many of us make the mistake of gossiping. Gossip is a kind of mistake, because you do not know the person who gossips with you actually agree or disagree with you. There are people who can “yalor yalor” with you all they want, but deep down, they see you as a gossip monger, and the smart ones, or rather, the more insecure ones will pretend to agree with you so as not to get into your bad books, but they will be wondering within themselves if they are the victim of your words too.
You see, gossip is bad karma.
And also, because when you gossip, you tend to subconsciously add something hurtful or untrue to it, to make it seem like facts, thats called getting personal and its very unhealthy.
But then again, if you really have to gossip, at least gossip about the good things. So that when the person hears it, they feel good about themselves and they will be more positive towards you. Save all the bad things to yourself. If you got nothing good to say, then don’t say anything.
So, cut down on all the gossips wherever you are, and eat more kinder bueno.

Inglourious Basterds was a great movie and I love Brad Pitt’s accent inside. I can’t help but say soldiers at those times were definitely braver than now, and definitely more well-mannered, or maybe its just the film.
Eli Roth is super funny and cool in the movie. He used a baseball bat to whack the brain out of a Nazi Sergeant literally. He is the director of Hostel and Hostel 2.
I feel very inclined to say that he does resembles Zachary Quinto a lot. The guy who plays Sylar in Heroes. Don’t you think so?
Talking about Heroes, when is the next season coming out?

Good luck dear, you will pass your TP tomorrow and can start fetching me already. All the lessons you went through for the past few months and the scoldings you got all boils down to one thing, tomorrow your test. The amount of time and money you spend is worth it because you are going to pass and get your license. Believe in yourself and just do what you always do.
It’s just another driving lesson, all you need to do this time is apply what you’ve learn.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Have faith. =)
