Rolling Eyes On Sour Road

Most of the times our mind playing
trick to us. Well….to me, actually.
It can outsmart me in most ways,
makes me imagine what I think is right then output an instant fantasy to the
first thing that popped-out from my head. For instance, I have this feeling for
someone who I thought was nice, smart, and maturely responsible. We met, we
talk and everything’s was just right. Until he just crossed that line where he
just pressed “oh-my-god-i-never-thought-he-act-this-way” button. So it was a
major turn off.

Laws01


I do that thing often, a weak
side of my undeveloped personality that kept on raging back and forth inside my
superficial emotional body. I frequently fooled myself by what people called
“signs of nature” or probably just misinterpreted it to my own
imagination…haha. Let’s just simplify things the way of how our body got
attracted to someone else:

 

Laws02

So, the fact that love, that mystical, elusive thing, rides on the back
of science may come as a bit of a shock. But the fact that chemistry may well
hold the reins to attraction and love shouldn’t come as such a surprise. Why do
you think two people who click are said to have chemistry? Chemistry is present
in all biological processes which control our lives; why should love, arguably
the very reason for living, be exempt?

Scientists have recently been investigating the chemistry of love and a
little molecule called phenylethylamine (PEA) is getting most of the credit
for causing initial attraction and lust.
People who describe being first in
love as like being on a ‘high’ aren’t too far off as PEA is similar in
composition to amphetamine. Phenylethylamine may not be the most attractive of
names, but think how many poets, authors and philosophers it has inspired and I
imagine we can give it a break. The brain can be prompted to produce PEA by any
action as tiny as the meeting of eyes or an accidental touch: the stuff chick
flicks are made of. The chemical sieges our systems and causes all those pesky
symptoms of a crush: our palms sweat, breathing increases and our hearts decide
it’s a perfect time to start learning to tap-dance. Lust is also caused, in
both sexes, by the hormone testosterone. We’re in trouble now.

Laws03

See? It just how our body works
that caused all that troubles. We never really care if they were belonging to
someone else, how old are they, what lousy job they are having or what gender
they are. But for my case, I’m always having this tendency to fall very
quickly, by a simple talk or one nice attitude. Hmmph….I wish I could stop this
infatuation junkie behavior or else I could hurt myself in some point.

Laws04

Then, I try to examine myself to
why I like someone who is better than me. I mean, we all are right? Either that
is physically, financially, emotionally or intelligently on a higher level than
ourselves, those are the types we looking for, for the sake of self development
right? Habits makes the difference in my opinion, so I started going to the gym for a change,
reading more books, talking to different people so I can learn something and
kept on going. What is for? Well, just a basic necessitate: I like guys who are
having more abs than me, because frankly speaking, our eyes is the gate to the rest of our body &
mind, correct? Its bullshit when other telling you “I like that person by
his/her inner beauty”. I mean, c’mon… how do you know if you hasn’t seen them!?
Anyway, I want people to be sexually attracted (theoretically speaking) by the
way I look. So I improve it by exercise more, make a first impression yet the
best they ever experienced. Then, I armored myself with knowledge from every
aspect of life; at least people can’t fool me then.

Laws05

But then again speaking, it is
still depends on how we open the door of our heart to other people when they
have reached our door grip. My door is bit rusty with hurt and pain all over.
So I always have to try harder to let people in, especially that particular one
that can close back the door and stay in forever.

The Hills Are Alive With Paradoxes

I just got home from KL, a business trip the office sent me there
for Account Manager Training: Distributor Success. A two days training that was
really drying out my energy and we absolutely have no time for shopping (damn
it!) I love working actually; some people say I’m over worked that’s why I
don’t have any bf. Maybe they’re right, but a in very small portion of course,
as i always defend myself as a Libra :P so, here I am checking my emails in my
web-inbox from clients, co-workers, inquiries, tasks after three days. And also
doing the resume for my colleagues that aren’t going as what my boss’ request.

Hot diggity-dang! This Volta
album is really something new, vive le Björk!

It’s quite hot in MY, even though it’s raining last night. But
unfortunately I have to wear a smart casual while I’m feeling like tank-topping.
All training sessions I kept drinking cold mineral water and it just won’t cool
my body temperature. Thank God the chair was quite comfortable, at least my butt
won’t get hurt sitting and listening all the presentation and teaching, as I
talked to myself. It was quite crowded; almost 30 Account Managers from
South-east-Asia region only. I start seeing sleepy eyes, fingers tapping
pencils, and as if I could see each balloon thoughts flying all over from their
heads.

It was quite a wall in our first meet up at the 1st day
of training. No one know who, we just guesses who’s who from the names from the
emails we send all these times. The most difficult was names from
Thailand ; I
can’t even pronounce it (I think they should pull out our tongue to be able to
pronounce it correctly). Other coming from
Malaysia, Singapore,  Brunei, Philippines
and special guest:
China

AM. This training was also attended by President of SEA and VP Distributor
Success from our head office in Provo, Utah USA.

The training was about mindset, how we should dealt with
distributors, colleagues from other department and changes should start within
ourselves. I think I already got the point but I’m a man of learning, and I’m
an open book to everything new. Somehow I could feel this kinda training won’t
last long (been there, done that) not being a pessimistic, but it’s true ya
know. Things are changing and we should go through everything in a process.
Whether it’s painful, difficult, harsh, and even bring us tear, it’s still a
process every being must do. We just need to read the signs correctly to get
the best result.

Sometimes people want to be the best by copying someone else, or
the most pathetic thing in my opinion, being somebody else. That’s not the way
folks. People judge us; paradox kept rushing in as form of medication,
treatment and hey-this-is-good-stuff kinda thing. It just builds a wall upon
ourselves, so we are taught to be exactly the same as the world. The hard truth
is, it doesn’t make us feel good by pleasing somebody else.

Silence
But as I take myself as “an opener" I realize that life’s
doesn’t care whether you’re down and in pain, it still spinning and give a
hell-to-you-man look. So, why should we care about the world? Being ourselves
is the most precious thing we have right now. Why should we cover
hey-this-is-me inside and play ordinary human out there? Even God couldn’t
change us into something we don’t want to be or do. He can only show us the
door and it is us who must walk through it.

be sad, be hurtful, be happy, be narcissus, be materialistic, be
cold and cynical, be helpful, being the joke of everyone, be angry all the
time, be wise, be cheerful, be sexually attractive, be a bitch, be a holy man
more than the Pope, be naive, be childish, be workaholic, be alcoholic, be
freakin’ rich, be poor, be a thief, be a serial killer, be a single killer, be
psychotic, be political, be smart, being dumb, being odd, or just geek or
geeky geek, it’s your choice.

Life
your life to the fullest.
