the perfect world..

A friend of mine and I were discussing one night about how nice it would be to be living in a perfect world. If we had the choice of choosing what we want to be surrounded with, if we can choose to only interact with the people who we want to interact with things would be simple.

Wait, would it?

Would it make life simpler and less stressful, if we all could choose the elements that we had to deals with. If we could just choose the things that make us happy in life, dream career with a beautiful house, the perfect family, perfect grades, perfect weather, roads with no traffic, no bills, no disasters, no pleasing people, no responsibilities..... a perfect life.

Would one be happy with that perfect life.

My friend said "people are frustrated not because of the cause of the situation, but because they don't know the ending of the situation. Why do you think people like movies? Because they know there is an ending: good or bad. All they want is an ending"

Maybe that's what we need. Just knowing the fact that there is an ending..
wait maybe that's what I need....

    Good point. We get frustrated because we don't know when it will end... but if it's something exciting, we don't want to know when it will end...

    at least an ending to a particular scene in this movie of life. when the director yells cut and then suddenly we're in the next phase of our life. that "happily ever after" is a myth, because in fiction, it never shows how it's maintained. if i could just walk off into the sunset like charlie chaplin, and that was that, life would be a lot easier.

    but the question is, is an easy life really that desirable?

    i wonder about that often: "wow, i get to make all the shots" but then i think having life your way can get boring. take on the challenges because you'll discover things you've never seen in yourself.

    this kind of reminds me of "Tangled," the animated film, about Repunzal. One part the guy talked about was dream. then Repunzal was like 'what if you get your dream' and he responded 'then you find a new dream.' so i think once you reach the end of this journey, think about a new one :D

Suit pants and long hours

Yes I know I know. My posts are scarce as a hen's teeth but don't worry I will try to write as much as I possibly can. I am still trying to find this work life balance thing that everyone is talking about. But not to worry, it will come with time. Its been more than a month since I have stepped in to the world of suit pants and long hours. I have learnt a few tit bits that I thought could be used by most of us with .. basically a life. 1. Everyone says it but, mate could not say it enough- Make MISTAKES! I made one crucial error first two weeks in to the job (yes worse than poop) but hey now I wont do it again. This is the only way to truly learn. 2. Work with friends not with co-workers- Its tough I know and sometimes you have to draw the line. But its much more easier to ask a favor from a friend than a duty from a co-worker. 3. Ask questions, questions and more questions! - Its ok to be a pain in the royal buttocks! 4. You will be dead weight till your team can le

Who decides "Ugly"?

So  my friends have very different ideas and views on many different things of life. I think its mainly because we are all from different countries and by coming here to the US we have different ways of thinking that are influenced by both the Western culture and our own. This past weekend we were having a very interesting and loud discussion/argument at a very public place (for those of you who know us, this is normal :D) This was the topic Who decides if someone is ugly? Is there a standard for being ugly- Now because I was a part of this conversation and had very strong opinions about the side that I was supporting, this blog is going to be a little biased. But I will try my best to stay neutral when presenting both arguments- This is what the guys were saying- It is true that everyone has a perception of beauty- but if you show a picture of a pretty girl and a really ugly girl to 100 guys it is a guarantee that at least 98% of the guys will agree on the same decision of

No, I dont know!

The question of the semester- "oh.. you're graduating in May? so whats the plan after that?" OH MY GOD! JUST STOP! I DON'T KNOW! I mean I would like to know obviously, but I don't. And I'm telling my self that its ok. Its ok to not know what you are going to do, you still have five more months... right? Four years ago, I had a plan. Well of course it had to be altered depending on my interests and the economy. But I had a plan of where I needed to be in four years. But the year 2011 brought uncertainty to my life. There are so many options that I would want to do, that would make me happy. But my decisions are not all just based on my self. People tell me "no do what you want to do, what makes you happy". That is what I am trying to do. I am happy when people around me are happy. I cannot be doing what I love in life and living in a place that I am in love with, if the people around me are disappointed in me. That would lose the purpose of
