I am lost
Posted by: bluecup on: April 16, 2009
Lately I’ve lost confidence and not sure what I want to do with life. Not sure where I am heading. I am currently working and have been looking for work for the last 3 months for a change and I am not able to find one… well I found one but that’s a short-term contract for a couple of weeks. The more I don’t find job, the more I lose my confidence. Maybe it’s the global recession or is it just a sweet excuse? I want to boost my confidence but it’s not easy.
I am an introvert. So showing confidence doesn’t come naturally to me. I prefer working alone and do I own things. That’s where I excel but in order to make a living, exceling in your own ways do not suffice.
Have you felt like this? How do you overcome this feeling? Share your views.
Cremation or burial?
Posted by: bluecup on: February 22, 2009
I prefer cremation. I don’t want to be put inside a box and buried. It looks like my spirit is locked inside a dark cell and is not given any chance of freedom after death. If I am burned, I get transformed into smoke and lifted up into the air. I’d rather have my body face fire than being rotten inside a dark box.
After death, what’s the use of preserving your body and occupying space on the burial ground? Burial seems like an attachment to your dead body. Once you are dead, your dead body is as useless as a rubbish.
Is technology wrongly redefining our reality?
Posted by: bluecup on: February 21, 2009
We are living in a world where technological innovations are growing day-by-day. Technology has without doubt made our lives faster and has made a lot of things achievable.
You get on a train or bus, you will see people with their new gadgets on display- iPhones, ipods, PSPs and what not. You buy a computer today and within a year (or perhaps before that), a better ones are out to make yours a thing of the past… and most of these things are simply redundant which we can simply live without.
New hardwares and softwares are out on the market everyday claiming to do the same old things in “easier” and “better” ways or should I say “automation”… and people just run after them saying “wow!”
Technology is fun and isn’t boring but if it keeps growing, then it isn’t fun anymore. Where is the fun of manually controlling our every moment? Where is the fun of driving a manual car? Where is the fun of just having a landline and not having mobile phones to burden our pockets? Where is the fun of having streets with lesser cars? Have you noticed there are more cars on the street than bicycles or people walking?
Surviving global financial crisis / how is it affecting you?
Posted by: bluecup on: January 31, 2009
I am lucky I am still working but only part-time. My full time working hours are reduced by about 10 hours per week and I can’t complain. What’s your current situation at work? If the crisis hasn’t hit you yet, consider yourself lucky but be prepared to face the hard time. It can strike you anytime.
Some tips (thoughts) to help you sail through the crisis (sorry, not for the rich):
- Be thrifty.
- Don’t buy lunch. Take lunch from home.
- Think about renting your spare room at your home / unit.
- Stop (at least reduce) eating out for few more months.
- Look for items on sale when you go shopping.
- Be mentally prepared to quit your current job (in case you are fired).
- If you feel your job is insecure, start looking for another job (preferably a permanent role) but getting a new job is also very challenging at times like this.
- For smokers- maybe a right time to quit.
- Nothing wrong trying your luck in lottery few times. You never know…..
If you have tips of your own, add on the comment…
Happiness makes your belly grow bigger?
Posted by: bluecup on: December 21, 2008
I am thinking about the corelation between happiness and the accumulation of fat on your belly. That does not necessarily mean being obese or does it?
From my own personal experience, when I am happy and feel free, I put on more weight and my belly grows bigger. But when I am stressed, regardless of how much I eat, I tend to remain slim.
Does that mean different internal parts of our body can in fact “feel” happy? Is it something to do with the “thinking cells”? Perhaps what we are is not entirely based on what our heads think; it also depends on what we and our body feels.
Life’s insanity
Posted by: bluecup on: March 26, 2008
Insane I cried
Inside my head
There’s hunger that’s unsatisfied
Dishonesty, impurity
My survival’s insanity
My cool is gone
Where is it gone?
Seeking solace
And finding none
It’s time I make my choices right
I need to keep my mental fight
Making use of kindness
Honesty and politeness
That’s what people love to do
Insanity of life’s true
Red cheeks and roses
Posted by: bluecup on: March 26, 2008
First revelation
The first expression
First realisation
Of beauty and the grace
Silky long black hair
Unleash all my pains
Glazes in those eyes
Bathe me with those tears
Smiles on those lips are
Like millions kisses to me
Shyness and red cheeks are
Like red roses to me
So keep smiling, will you?
And keep feeling shy
Red cheeks and roses
Kisses all are mine
Heart to Heart
Posted by: bluecup on: March 26, 2008
Sleepless nights
Left and right
Eyes wide opened
Darkness’ might
Lying on the floor
One man longs for sight
Sight of Beloved
Voice of Beloved
Imprisoned by darkness
The woman lies awake
Wishing to break apart
The long and endless wait
The man’s rambling voices
The woman’s perceptions
One Beloved sends it
Another senses it
The night has told its story
The two hearts’ been connected
Heart to heart the message flows
Less and less the distance grows
Not too far apart
Posted by: bluecup on: March 26, 2008
Conversation
An hour or two
Communication
Binding me and you
Silence
Yet voices heard
Exchanged are smiles and thoughts
Closeness just inches apart
As can be touched
Pixilated appearance
Giving hope and more trust
Void stands between
Two longing hearts
It’s a distance long enough
But it’still not too far apart
Death of a tree
