Random tots
4 days to Christmas. Not really looking forward to it. It's overrated, overhyped, over everything. Its just another season for made for lovers to have a reason to love each other more and shower each other with lavish gifts that show their care.Another reason I'm not looking forward to it is because my family doesn't celebrate it.
Something about New year and year end resolutions that made me think. What's so special about the year end that makes people wanna do resolutions?
To be a better human next year? Maybe.. They never get resolved anyway, or so they say. I heard an interview on the airwaves about getting your resolutions resolved. It about reaffirming your thoughts with other thoughts. Suppose you want to quit smoking. Don't keep thinking you want to quit smoking, because that will make you think of smoking more. Think instead "I want to chew gum" or "I want to go for a swim." Because the brain doesn't think in negative. Say, "Don't think of pink elephant." YOur brain instantly springs a pink elephant. It does not know how to not think of a pink elephant. So the next time you want to not do something, think of something else to replace that thing. As for resolutions that start with I want to do... you're on your own.
"It's for Charity" These are the words that will soften people's hearts up and open their wallets. Was collection old clothes and news paper for Renci hospital yesterday, even though I swear I would never do that again since I was in Secondary school. I was at this house and explained that we're collecting old clothes and stuff for charity. The elder sister, I think who was giving me a bo-chap attitude in the first place sprung with enthusiasm, and got me some clothes and newspaper. It's people like them that made you not think what the hell am I doing here? Hey, as long as I'm not accosted by people on the everyday streets asking me to donate $5 bucks for underprivileged children, I'm all for Charity.
