Improving My "People Skills"

I am at the extreme ends of emotional string. When I feel attached, i totally feel it that I sometimes have separation anxiety. But at the other end is the i-dont-care-at-all attitude. How i wish i have that skill of other people where they can maintain their closeness to everyone they had moments with.

Right now, I'm trying to adjust myself and try to be interested in the lives of my friends that I don't see anymore. I learned that the mere act of "liking" their Facebook status could open up a conversation, that with just that one click, people would feel that you are still a part of their lives and they are a part of yours. 

I should do this more often. It really feels good, after all. So, if you would just excuse me, I have Facebook statuses to like. 


We ate halo-halo in Nayong Pilipino in Malakal, Koror. This is the view...it looked so dreamy to me because of the heavy rain and because I was feeling cold. Anyway, the mood in this picture is the exact opposite of our mood while eating. I got free halo-halo :)

TGIF

And once again...the day everyone is waiting for. Rebecca Black was so excited, Katy Perry got wasted and pretty much everyone else. I am not really looking forward to this weekend because it's gonna be very busy but there is something about Friday that makes you feel like a battery that is about to be empty and you know that you really need to recharge. Come 5:00 pm and your energy level shoots up again. Friday, Friday...I'm not gonna get down on Friday but I so so excited still :).

I reposted this picture because this is a shot I'm really proud of. All my pictures are taken by my Sony DSC TX-5. I really love this camera. It has endured a lot of my adventures, especially underwater. It takes good shots too. :)

Another Waste of Talent

The name, "Amy Winehouse" is not all that familiar to me until a few days before her death. I thought her genre was rock or some kind of Lady Gaga-ish music because they look similar. I still did not pay much attention even after her death because I'm not really into that kind of music. However, curiosity won and I just had to youtube her famous song, "Rehab" because I have sworn that I don't know any song she has. I was pretty sure I was going to hear noise. I was surprised when I watched and realized that I actually know the chorus part of the song and I even know another one, "I'm No Good." I remember singing it in the shower before.

It is just too sad that she made one wrong choice: the man to love.

All the awards she got, all the fame, that beautiful contralto voice have all gone to waste. Hers was an opiate addiction, almost impossible to cure. How many more stories of wasted talents are we going to have? How many more lives are going to be destroyed? It was just one choice, one WRONG choice and she was not able to make it back.
