Don't Cha Just Hate It?

Hey guys, I'm starting this "Don't cha just hate it" articles... Inspired by Maureen McCarthy's Rose By Any Other Name... Join in if you want. Don't have to write about things you hate... You can write about things you love...

Here it goes...


Don't cha just hate it when people talk? Whether it's behind your back when and where it's easy to eavesdrop or right at your face, oblivious that it's taboo the topic they are broaching. I'm not talking about bitching, bad-mouthing or back-stabbing here. Talk; as in prattling away like old housewives did about soaps, except I'm not referring to the master cheating on his wife with the maid and the brother stole millions of dollars whilst the son dropped out of school and the daughter ran away from home. People talk and when they do, it's not necessarily the most pleasant thing to the ears. Even if it comes from a beloved family friend who you have not seen in a while since you moved-and the only thing you could dislike about the person is her bad smoking habit-and has flown across the Indian Ocean to catch up with you.

Although the freshly brewed coffee smelled heavenly and the homemade biscotti tasted divine despite its hardness that came from being cut too thick, you still end up having a pretty bad day from hearing people talk. This friend updates Mum on the latest gossip about their rich friend's daughter's "downfall", which basically meant dating a man of a certain race that they are not fond of. As the traditional (translated) old saying goes: " We, people of the older generation have had more salt than you, younger generation have had rice." In other words, they are wiser and have more experience. I'd say in modern day language, it pretty much sums up to: "We're smart; you're dumb. So, shut up and listen to us!" If my parents were to read this, they'd be outraged and would without a doubt protest. Yes, Mum. Yes, Dad. This is how I perceived it!

Even the oldest living person in the world is not omniscient-and I am certainly not implying that I am. He or she may know ten different ways of reading the newspaper (back to front, bottom to top, sideways, upside down, etc.) and has unmasked the secret codes hidden in every ad but that still does not make the person a know-it-all. I'm saying this because I wish that I could smack the good ole "don't judge a book by its cover" at my parents' faces, and possibly every other well-intentioned however slightly racist adults. "Just because one guys is a jerk, doesn't mean he represents the rest of us." was what I got from an email. Sure, my parents could flip that around and say something true and similar. "Hey, just 'cause one guy is nice, doesn't mean the rest of them are."

This brings us back to judging a book by its cover. What people need to do is stop. Halt in their tracks of their busy little stuck up-ish lives for once and think. They go on and on, talking bad about other people. Speak for yourself! We're not that great a race! Nobody is perfect! The world would be BORING if everything was perfect! Heck, I wouldn't have to waste my time writing this entry and just enjoy chatting on MSN! Okay, I know it's really bad, those men lying to women, mooching heaps money off them before running off with another younger and prettier one. But look at the bright side people! At least he didn't kill the lady or harm or abuse her! Yes, she did go into depression... The poor thing... Goes to show why males are still the dominant gender.

Okay, what happens if the daughter of that wealthy family stumbled upon a fine young man, who just so happened to be from a notorious place? Couldn't the mother, who has all the free time in the world, spare a precious few hours to scrutinise this boyfriend fairly? You know, instead of spending a few minutes having a huge row with your daughter and ruining a great mother and daughter relationship? "Oh! This poor girl! She's gorgeous and smart! So successful! Such a pity she's falling into a trap!" They didn't even prove if the guy's bad!! Why couldn't people say stuff like she's been blessed with a rare treasure? Okay, maybe something less corny but you get my drift.

It really does ache my heart that I still can't voice my opinions. Not in a million years in front of people who talk. I just hope that guy proves these 'gossipers' wrong!!

Sweeeet Sixteeeeen

Oh yea! I am sixteen now! Although I didn't do anything special-but some people did something special for me-and didn't want to make a big deal about it-but some people did make a big deal out of it-I've decided to do a little something called sixteen things you oughta know about me, since I am sixteen now... (Inspired by footballfreakarse.blogspot.com)


Anyway, let's begin...

One. Writing is my way of life... I'm sure I've drilled that into your head by now...

Three. I have a purple teddy bear named Violet. Bet you didn't know that! lol.

Four. I'm still hot-headed, impatient and bossy but I reckon I've cut down a lot...

suffering a bit more... Freaky?

Seven. I'd like to meet Oliver James! He's sooo cute!

out to the garden-if I can... No reason to freak out over a small insect, right...?!

Nine. I reckon the hairdryer is a good invention. Why not? I depend on it a lot!

Ten. I don't detest soccer/football as much as I use to... *shrugs*

Passion and inspiration

Writing is my way of life...
Be inspired...

Or at least that's what I'm trying to do... Be inspired...

As you can see, I haven't updated my blog in a while. "Cyber cobwebs" are beginning to form on my blog page. So, I decided to search google for some images and quotes that hopefully might inspire me. And this is what I came up with:

"If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you." -T. Alan Armstrong

Inspirational enough? Hmm... Better keep going...

"Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it." -Unknown

Ooh, I like the multi-coloured lipstick. Although it'd be weird to see someone wearing that in real life...

"We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it."
-Che Guavara

Oh! I found more!!

"There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life." -Federico Fellini

I really like this one...

"When work, commitment and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible." -Unknown

This is nice. So positive... So... happy...

"A great leader's courage to fulfill his vision comes from passion, not position." -John Maxwell

Ooo... Vibrant... Yet... So dark...

"Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief, It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead." -Joss Whedon.

I like her eyes. The blue is like pool water at night illuminated by light. Get my drift?

"Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot." -D.H. Lawrence

Nice and simple...

"If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins." Benjamin Franklin

Anime has always been one of my many inspirations.

"The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire." -Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch

Hot? Lol.

"Passion spins around love and I am always dizzy around you." -Albany Bach Reid

Cool eye shadow...

"One person with passion is better than forty people merely interested." -E.M. Foster

Awesome! I'm beginning to feel something sparking...

"Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul in it. Stamp it with your personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Who doesn't love iPods?

"Passion and purpose go hand in hand. When you discover your purpose, you will normally find it's something you're tremendously passionate about." -Steve Pavlina

Let's try something totally different now. Something out-of-this-worldly beautiful...

"There is no greatness without passion to be great, whether it's the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent or a businessperson." -Anthony Robbins

Okay, I know this doesn't really have anything to do with passion and inspiration. But it does subtly... I mean, one day when I can write romance, I can refer to this!

"Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something you live for." -Ray Bradbury

I guess it's about time I summed things up!

"Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion." -Georg Wilhelm

I think I am going to live by that quote from now on... So... What's your passion?

P.S. Did you get any inspiration from any of those quotes or pictures? Which are your favourite ones?
