Hello Stranger,

It’s time to introduce to you my all time favourite season show. F.R.I.E.N.D.S. For those who have yet to watch a single episode, you should seriously be shot. I have watched all the 10 seasons over and over again and it has never failed to put a smile on my face.

It’s the energy that they give off and their on screen chemistry. It’s their ability to potray just how awesome it is to have six close friends and spending their daily lives together and just a simple season sow showing all the knacks that ordinary people get into makes you realise that your life can just be as colourful as theirs!

Just what makes this season show so colourful despite being put in an ordinary setting where the film spots are either the coffe house or the home. After Coms lesson the other day, i realised the non-verbal cues are indeed an intricate part in our lives. The reason why they are so popular is they are able to read off another character’s expression. I put in one of a my favourite clip from FRIENDS where they were trying to get Emma to crawl. Through non-verbal cues. You can see Rachel being all excited about it and it makes you intrigue to continue watching on. Chandler does his usual sarcastic quotations towards Joey and about Emma’s crawling. And finally when all are standing still, Phoebe came in and read off their actions as standing still, and in the usual eccentric way that she is, picked up a pot and followed them standing still, “Whose painting us?” This shows, attribution where she explains their behavior and follow it. And just why do people love friends? It is their novelty and their intensity of the humour!

This is insane. I felt compelled by the need to post this up. Last week, my entry was more on something solemn and on a macro level. This week, i shall do something on a smaller scale, something that is within our control. This shows the apparent addiction to computer games in society today. Maybe you might get defensive- generalization you say? I think now, with technology so easily accessible and internet comes in cheap and free, we find ourselves hook onto it for hours at a time, not realising so often, we neglect other stuff. I admit that i can stay up in my room up till 4 hours using the internet and my parents and sister would be in the living room outside catching a movie together. Have we sacrificed and minimized what was important to us?

I got this video of Facebook. Immedietly i started laughing at his meltdown, i had to admit it was hilarious that one freaks out. I couldn’t stop laughing at his misfortune and shared this video with two of my close guy friends who gamed as a past time. I just found gaming such a horrible addiction that it can cause such behavior. I know that i am not a gamer, i never found such interest in it, and my ex boyfriend would spend hours on it, often causing small disputes which was something i could not understand. Thus, i was rather repulsed by the idea.

There was one night however, i was over at his house and he introduced me to the computer game, Left 4 Dead. I was pretty hesitant about it, but he was patient enough to go through it with me and teach me and when i saw his eyes glimmer with excitement and for once that murky black eyes become all focused. Somehow, all we need is to allow that person that at least we  tried to share what they love.

Apart from the video, i believe is all about understanding. Even in a social context, we come from different backgrounds and cultures and only through understanding our difference are we likely to accept it. I have a close girl friend that is an amazing DOTA gamer, and yet she is always there for me. The game was indeed fun, and i enjoyed it, and it changed my perspective in a good way. But this video also allowed me to see that we must also understand our priorities, where we must value what comes first. Gaming can be a passion to some, hence the meltdown due to the lack of understanding from his mother. In my last communication class, we discussed language, interpretation and non-verbal communication.In this video and my personal experience, it is whether we allow ourselves to interpret the situation differently, to see in the eyes of the other, and well, when a guy is having such a meltdown (non-verbal communication), just stay away!

Have a good week ahead!

“Hate is easy, love takes courage.”

How often do we use the word “hate”. How easy it comes spewing out of our mouth like a chain of pearls falling from it’s intangible string. Hardly, anyone terms it as “displeasure” or “positive thoughts challenged” In the society today, we close ourselves up and doubt the intentions of many as everyone comes with their own goals, own passions and along the way, we get smitten by people who come into our way. Where have the simple joys of life that we once shared when we were childhood kids be found within us? Where we can embrace it?

Your wrist lies neatly along the contours of my hand while i lay my head against your beating chest inhaling the smell of alfalfa hay. There is nothing except our slow rhythmic breathing that is kept in sync. We no longer speak and loud thoughts are the only sound that pierces through the silence. Let go. Stop fighting. Let love replace all the hate. So breathe in deep, and take in the final breath, let the soft wind blow the soft tresses of your hair into my face and tonight shall be our last. There is only so much we can do, so why do i feel i’m running out of time? You and me, it’s time to save this world from all the hate.

This video is about the war in Iraq and i feel it is due to the lack of positive communications that war breaks out and hate is being brought out the worst among us. Often, we find ourselves caught within this conflict yet being helpless about it. However, every small action counts. War is indeed a terrible thing. Children are orphans in a split second and innocent homeless people watch helplessly as their house gets bomb.Psychological perspective we cant see it’s foundation of war is due to conflict of culture

Neither be cynical about love;
For in the face of all reality and disenchantment
It is perennial as the grass.

We learnt perception in class today and i found it rather enriching that how we human behaves according to society standards. We regard actions that is socially acceptable and often we find ourselves sitting on the fence between doing something against our own beliefs. We judged ourselves on how other views us and often this causes a breech between our inner emotions and stirs turmoil. Is that the foundation of hate? Where is you at people in disgust as it is no in relation according to our own mindsets. And exactly, how far will we go to push what we believe in onto others?
