Is the GLASS HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY?

I admit... I have no idea at first about the difference of the above sentences... I meant, both sentences means the same thing, right? There is only half volume of water in a glass...

Until I saw this program on television, about accidents on airplanes around the world. This airplane was having trouble on their engines. None of the engines can be turn on and the crew only have ten minutes to keep on trying to turn on the engines before the plane crashed into the ocean. Every time they try to turn the engines, it will takes approximately about three minutes before the engines really fully functioned. They tried on and failed. Again and again. Until suddenly the engines started to work again, and the pilot were saying like this,"We are all so relieved. The glass now suddenly half full instead of half empty..."

I was like... ooooh, so that's the meaning of those words...

Glass half full means that there is a way out even if only a little from our problem rather than glass half empty which means the other way around ..., naturally...

So, I browse the internet and find this link :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is_the_glass_half_empty_or_half_full%3F

as I quote from the above link :

Is a common expression, used rhetorically to indicate that a particular situation could be a cause for optimism (half full) or pessimism (half empty);)

Recently I feel that my glass is half empty and about to get empty one hundred percent... but I have to keep my dream alive to find a way to fulfill that dream and start to find a way how to make my glass half full and eventually becoming fully full :)

Thank you my dear Father in heaven to open my mind a bit ^______^

Holiday is a waste of money

When I was bored inside the bus, due to the traffic jam..., and the book that I brought has been finished and not in the mood in listening music from my Ipod, there was nothing better to do than eavesdropped other people's conversation over the phone.... But before I am getting to that, I just want to tell you a bit about my teacher in the university. He is a very good teacher and likes to makes jokes or do anything to make sure that we understand the subject.... One day he informed us that due to family matter, he would not be able to come to the class so there would be no teaching that day... We were all smilling happily as it means we would have more free time ... He looked at us smilling sadly and said ...,"Yeah, yeah... I was like yo when I was a student... I can't wait to get a holiday or free day..... But when I became parent, I think differently... What a waste of money that I spend for my kid to go to school for the whole year but only attend for 10 months due to many holidays.... Your parents would think the same..." We were all quiet but of course none of his words came into our brain at that time....

Then years after, here I was... standing inside the bus to go home... And beside me, there were two teens.. I assume they arein college... They were talking excitedly about the long weekend... Yup, it was going to be long weekend as we have holiday on Friday....

"I am excited to have long weekend... Fuuuh... Now, I can go anywhere I want..."

"Me too... But we almost did not make it..."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, Mr A wishes all of us to attend his additional class on Friday and Saturday! Can you imagine? Did not he think that we are all tired from studying all the time?"

Hmmmph...... I can't help but smile and think... her parents must be so proud to fund their daughter who has been so tired to study My teacher was right... When we are the one who spend the money, we are going to see things differently... Maybe those employers feel the same way?

That deep scar

My left knee can't be used to kneel down.... but no, no, no... not because the aging problem... hehehehhe... The truth is, I am such a clumsy person I used to fall down a lot while I was walking on the street. Seriously. My feet step on stone, I lost my balance, I fell. There was one time, I fell on the same spot... twice... So, the previous week I fell when I was walking... Obviously, the wound is still under the healing process and still not recover...Then, a week later, I fell again... hurthing the same knee, in the same still open wound that still has not healed ... You can imagine the hurt and the agony and the urge to scream out loud in pain... But I could not do that as it happenned in a public place. So, I just swallowed my pride and keep on walking with the bloody wound on my left knee. As the result, up to now, I can never ever do a kneel down position using my left knee as it is killing me (not) softly.

I guess in real life, human is like that too... If you get hurt again and again, it will leave you a big and deep scar inside that hard to be healed. Like for example, a person who always been told that he or she is totally an idiot, for the rest of his/her life... That person will think he or she deserve nothing for being so stupid and useless. Imagine to receive the insult constantly from someone who should give love and caring... It will surely leave a deep scar inside and probably will stay like that for eternity...

Hopefully, none of us have that experience. As once we have that deep scar, we will find it hard to find the cure and probably will makes us hard to move on and look for a brighter future

Tip to watch good movie

A tip to know whether this movie is good or not.... watch a movie who does not have too many trailers...

Seriously.... I watched Wanted, Bride Wars, and several other movies that have so many trailers on the net... and those trailers are the 80% of the movie... Suck...

Don't get me wrong. I am the type who does not mind to get the whole story before watching the movie... but does not mean I really want to see the 80% movie before I finally go to the theater and watch the movie...

So, from now on... if you have seen many trailers of one movie, then you better just wait until the movie is on dvd... because trust me there will be nothing new to be seen on the big screen

Go Jennifer Hudson!

I admit, that I am not a big fan of Jennifer Hudson, but seeing her on American Idol tonight I realize the meaning of the word that winning loosing does not mean you will loose everything...

She did not make it to the final during the American Idol... but then she joined the other casts in Dream Girls and she got Oscar for the role! Imagine that... ! And then, this year she won a Grammy Award.... Can anyone imagine what her life would be if she won American Idol? Not the same, that is for sure...

Often we feel defeated when we got stuck in reaching something that we want... then we decided to stop and forget our dream... Jennifer is one of many living proofs that not getting the thing that you want the most is not a bad thing... as it will lead another door to other things that beyond your imagination ....

So, Cai Yooo my friends... and me...... don't give in pursuing something good in your life and do not give up easily.... we will never know where the road will lead us....

The real thing is...

A friend of mine told me that once she saw this photo shoot at the mall... The models, a drop dead gorgeous babe with handsome hunk cuddling to each other as if they wish to share to the world that they meant to each other... But once the director screamed: CUT! both of them let go of each other that expression full of pure loving changed quickly to .... FLAT FACE... well, you know what I mean.... She said to me that they have her mistakenly think about a possibility that the two of them really like each other...

We saw that a lot... Sometimes we make our own assumption based on the things that we have seen... and we have no idea actually what is going on behind that ...But we took our assumption anyway and just act based on that assumption... And of course when we do finally find out the real thing, we either disappointed or just decided that was a mistake and let us just move on...or we let that eating us ... and we just stuck in that same place...

It's up to us to decided which road we are going to take

He is just not that into you

I just bought this book and have not finish reading it... but so far I love it.. The book is more or less about how men is not as complicated that woman think... Men prefer to burn himself in fire rather than saying the truth that he does not like the girl...But in short, the author (who happens to be a MAN) said that when a man like a woman, he will do whatever it takes to have her and to make sure that she know and desire her the most... He will go through anything to have her....

Probably, not just men... but we all are like that... ANd it is not limited on relationship but almost about everything else ... When we really, really want something then we will pursue it with every effort and energy that we have... We will look for a way and search for any clues and hints that will lead us to the thing that we want the most...

Sooooo..., of course it got me thinking that MAYBEEEEE...the reason I still do not have the thing that I want... is becoz... I do not really want it??? Hmmmm...., heavy thought....
