Collabo

There are a lot of collaboration between artists in any culture especially in music. Personally, I love it the most is when a female and a male have a collaboration together; both parts must be lengthy, not a 10 seconds clip. Lengthy parts make the song sound more like a story and each has their own opinions. Koreans have many of those, so have the Westerners.

Some of the good ones:
Eminem ft. Rihanna - Love the Way You Lie
Rihanna ft. Eminem - Love the Way You Lie Part 2
Oh Won Bin ft. Miryo - I Love You and I Love You (there is a HyunA version but she hasn't mastered the rapping part yet but nice on the soft part)
MC Mong ft. Mellow - Sick Enough to Die
IU and Seulong - Nagging
Navi ft. Crown J - Heart Damage (Others versions include Jaebum/Jay Park and Taecyeon)

QOTW 2

Person A: 'We are not "pirating" we are "downloading backups" in case our non-existent discs get scratched.'
HAHAHAHA!

Dream Decipher

Dreams can be explained sometimes when it's very obvious.
I had a dream this morning. I was at a lecture hall studying about poetry. - What the heck? - I was getting bored so I decided to sneak out during the break. I walked and walked but I still couldn't leave the institution I entered into another lecture about social relationship. I decided to sit in because the lecturer asked me to. I couldn't sit long because I REALLY need to go to the washroom. Here is the funny and graphic part so *please stop reading* if you cannot handle graphic description of poop. So I entered the washroom, it had the most advanced toilet but I couldn't use it so I left and looked for another one. I found an outdoor toilet. It's pretty much in a tent. The grossest part of this is... you poop openly... yes... it's gross... I know. Everybody can see you do business. Surprisingly, everybody does it and they have to change their own toilet because the "toilet" is a plastic bag on a bathtub. You poop on the plastic bag and you change it. It's pretty nasty. Finally, I woke up from the horror that I dreamed. I realized I really need to poop, hahahahaha. Must be the spicy oil I had last night.

Weird dream again, I know. This one does tell me what is going through my head lately. Poetry is because a chinese TV drama show I've been watching this week. Social relationship is because how to interact with people with different personality whether they are good, bad, or horrible. School is well... school and escaping. Finally, I NEEDED TO POOP!

有一種人。

有一種人總愛收藏自己的悲傷，
總喜歡把自己的哀傷收在心裡，
把開心放在面上。
很多人都很羨慕這一種人，
因為他們好像永遠都不會傷心。
永遠都開開心心，無憂無慮。
事實真的是這樣嗎?
這些人其實和所有人都一樣，
一樣會傷心，也會難過。
事實上，他們比任何一個人都容易悲傷。
那是因為，
他們從來都把自己喜歡的、愛的、
要好的人放在第一位，
忙著想他們的一切，
卻忘了掛心自己。

在他們笑容的背後，
有多少人真的看過他們悲傷的一面?

在他們的笑容背後
其實背負著比所有人沈重的壓力

那是因為，
他們害怕 ，
害怕失去，
害怕被討厭，
害怕被冷落...
其實他們最怕的，
是被人發現他們悲傷的那一面。

他們總是這樣，
總愛當人們之中的開心果，
他們不願意把自己的悲傷顯露出來。

相反地，
他們會把別人的悲傷扛上身。
有人發現到嗎?
這一種人，
總會在別人傷心的時候，
在別人面前發神經，逗人開心。

他們悄悄地把別人的悲傷趕走
也靜靜地把別人的傷背上。

他們其實比任何一個人愛胡思亂想，
他們很怕寂寞。
在夜深人靜的時候，
他們總愛一個人坐在窗前，
或是睡在床上，
想著別人的事，
想著自己會否打擾到別人。
他們其實也很嚮往有一個人會為自己分擔傷悲，
但每次拿起電話，
想打個電話 ，或是sd個sms時，
都會因為怕煩到別人
而默默地把自己的傷吞進肚子。

他們其實是最易受傷的人，
別人的一字一句他們都特別上心，
他們會因別人的衝口而出而傷心很久，
怕自己被別人討厭，
於是他們會笑。

儘管前一秒還在哭，
但是到了人前，
他們還是會倔強地擦乾眼淚，
笑笑說 :我沒事， 別擔心。

這種人其實很辛苦，
他們不是超人，
儘管是超人，
也會累，
天天扮堅強真的很累。

如果身邊有這一種人，
請多多體諒他們。

其實..
他們正在等待你的問候呢。

A very power piece describing a kind of people who likes to care about other people before himself/herself. You would think, does this kind of person really exist? Care for others before himself. Think deep for a minute. Think about those who are/were always there for you if you need help/counsel/comforting during a difficult time. They would be there no matter what. Don't mean to brag but I was one of those people. Willing to carry everything on my back, other's problems and pain and suffering. Always on my shoulders and back. Why I said I was? Because I don't anymore. Why? I am getting tired. I didn't do it to get people to pity me. I did it for being nice and caring. Now, I just don't care anymore. There are too many problems around the world and enough problems of my own. I need to deal with my shit loads of problems before helping anyone. Don't give up hope, there are plenty of others just like me. But be thankful that they are there when you needed. They are people, too. They also need a break like me. You just don't know when.

11:11 - Make a Wish

At 11:11 am or pm, make a wish.
You can only do that if you look at the clock unintentionally in order to do that.
It's a urban myth spread by people but it's a good boost like a wish or hope.
For more information, google/yahoo/bing it.

Today is November 11th, it's also Remembrance Day/Veteran's Day. For some, it's a memorable day for veterans. For some, it's just a free holiday in the middle of a week. For me, it's just another day.

iDog

Found a very cute and smart clip of a Jack Russell. His name is Jessie. He can do a lot of tricks and including some of the common household tasks like taking newspapers, taking off owner's shoes and clothes, etc. If I have a dog, I am just thankful if he/she listens to me. If he/she can do tricks, I would have the bestest friend ever. Go subscribe to his channel and check out this video of his!

Weather Lottery

Weather forecast shouldn't be called a forecast because they are wrong 40% of the time especially the weather in Vancouver. Yesterday afternoon, I was having lunch at home while listening to the radio. The weather forecast announced a high chance of rain in the Greater Vancouver Region District. I looked out the window... blue sky and bright sunlight. Right... are they forecasting next day or something? Some time after, around dinner time, I was still waiting for the rain to drop. Still... nothing. Good job, weather forecast. Once again, you have proved how useless you are.

Bye Bye Saving

An hour ago, it's 1am.
An hour later, it's still 1am.
Extra hour of sleep.

None related... a really burnt finger really hurts more than burnt tongue. OUCH!

Focus on Multitasking

My English is not very good but aren't focus and multi-task are two opposite mentality? When you are focus, you are concentrated on a particular task at hand. When you are multitasking, you are doing many things at once. So how do you focus on multitasking? When I heard people said this, I am confused. You can't focus when you are distracted by millions of other things. You could argue that focus a little bit on each task but your focus is divided up in portions, you are not focused anymore. Next time, for those of you who said this before... don't say that anymore. It doesn't work! Either focus OR multitask, not both.

I Feel like Screaming...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Efficiently Lazy

I mentioned this LONG time ago. It's about truly being lazy. It's really hard to explain so open your mind a bit.
Being a perfectly lazy person has to be efficient. Why? A lazy person is, well, lazy. They don't want to repeat steps or procedures. It's better to do it once and get it over with. If you can do everything once without repetition or mistakes, you are efficient. You don't need extra time to redo or check everything all over. Does it make sense?

Here is an example. You are asked to wash dishes at home but you feel lazy so you wait for everybody to finish before getting started on dishes. This way, you clean all the dishes in one go instead of cleaning and waiting for people to finish. Your "laziness" delay the washing process BUT at the same time, you increase your efficiency to doing all the dishes only once.

Now, this is true laziness at work. If you can convert your lazy skills into efficiency, people will forget how lazy you are and remember how efficient you truly are.

Picky

Is it so wrong to be picky/selective sometimes?
Don't we all want something better every time? Whether they are cars, jobs, people, clothes, accessories, etc. If we keep the same level of expectation, we would never evolve in our life. People always tell me "beggars can't be choosers". So should I give up any expectation and take whatever I see? NO. It may not make sense to some but I tend aim for something higher or close to it. I rather wait a bit than go for something I don't like and stuck with it.
