11 People On A Rope
eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten men and one woman. the rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided, that one had to leave, because otherwise, they were all going to fall. they weren't able to name that person, until the woman gave a very touching speech.
she said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope, because, as a woman, she was used to giving up everything for her husband and kids, or for men in general, and was used to always making sacrifices with little returns.
as soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping their hands.

Lie and Don't Get Caught
so disappointing.
why did you lie? why did you think that you had to lie? why the need to deceive?
i just don't get it. if you didn't want to join us, say so. if you wanted to go out with other people, well go ahead. nobody's the slave of no one.
it's stupid, lie about something as trivial as jalan raya.
did you seriously think i wouldn't find out?
next time look at me when you're lying to my face ok?

Open Letter
mood: vindicatedmusic: polaris - jimmyeatworld ("i'll say it straight and plain. i know i've made mistakes i've always been afraid.")
but i am not afraid anymore. this is my open letter to you. it warrants no reply; i do not need justifications.
dear ,
my parents raised me good. it is WRONG to put someone else down just so you can feel better about yourself. if you are in a leadership position, use your responsibilities wisely. don't think that the world owes you something just because you are there; rather, you are supposed to give back to the people who entrusted you with the power.
i feel sorry for you. you are so insecured, you feel the need to put others down and embarrasse them so that you can feel good about yourself. i feel sorry that you live in a deluded world where your only concern is what you think is right, even if evidence proves otherwise. most bossess i know make it a habit to be consultative leaders, and see their function as a facililator to open doors for their staff. you somehow make it your mission to dictate and lord over your subordinates, as if you need reassurance that you are the boss.
you are stubborn and obstinated, arrogant enough to think that you can function without any body else's inputs. you are over-demanding, dominating and you turn people off with your high-and-mighty attitude. i will never understand how you got to be like this; it must be due to the fact that you've never had to apply for a job in your life, that you've been poached throughout your working career. (or so you claim.)
you told me once i lack direction and focus. yes, it is reflective of my director. but as of this instant, i dissolve any affiliations to you. to think i gave you the benefit of the doubt. i have lost all respect for you.
so good luck. i hope you can answer the questions that will be thrown to you in The End.

A Buncha Crap
i got this from http://love.ivillage.com/lnsproblems/lnscompatible/0,,bk0x-p,00.html
Birth Order Compatibility: Your Best -- and Worst -- Matches for Loveby Dr. Kevin Leman
Did you know that your birth order can affect your relationship? Find out which marriage combinations work best -- and how yours compares -- in this excerpt from
The Birth Order Connection now.
BEST BIRTH ORDER MARRIAGES
Only child and youngest; first-born and youngest; middle child and youngest: Gender plays a role here as well. If you want the absolute best match, it's female only or first-born marrying a male youngest child who has older sisters. The last born with older sisters is going to be the sort of person who brings out the maternal instinct in women, and the oldest sister is likely to have great maternal urges. The young man has grown up with girls who have doted on him, cared for him, and generally treated him like one of their cuddly toys. This is the same sort of treatment he seeks in a wife, and the best place he'll find it is with an oldest sister. The match works both ways. The first-born needs someone to show her pleasures of sunsets, rainbows, and to remind her that it can be fun to let her mind wander and do something crazy or different. The last-born needs someone to show him that while having fun is a wonderful thing, it takes hard work and perseverance to turn those daydreams into reality.
First Born Married To A First Born: Likely high friction. Either butting heads from day one, or falling into a controller-pleaser relationship. Think John McEnroe and Tatum O'Neal, and you'll have some idea of how difficult it can be to make such a pairing work.
First Born Married To A Middle Child: The danger here is that the middle-born may modify his or her own behavior to please the first-born mate. While the middle makes a good general match for anyone (except, perhaps, for another middle), she may find the first born to be somewhat intimidating and thus need drawing out. If you marry a hard-driving first-born, you may be inclined to give up your own desires and dreams to please your more dominant, first-born spouse. However, if you have last-born tendencies, this can be a very good match for you.
First Born Married To The Last Born: Excellent combination: First-born can teach last-born how to be better organized, and that there are times when life must be taken seriously. The last-born teaches the first-born that it's okay to have fun once in a while.
What are the worst combinations?
Middle Child Married To A Middle Child: Has the potential to go either way. If one of the middle-borns has first-born tendencies and one has last-born tendencies and traits, this can be a good match. On the other hand, if both partners are solid, secretive middle-born communication is likely to suffer -- though you'll do well compromising to get along and keep the peace. Has the least chance of experiencing marital infidelity.
Middle Child Married to Last Born: Works best if the middle born has some first-born tendencies. If the middle is a true middle, he may find himself pulled into the last-born's more irresponsible lifestyle, creating the problems seen in a last-born to last-born marriage. If she has last-born tendencies, there could be trouble. If she has first-born traits, then a great match.
Last Born Married To A Last Born: Be careful here. You may have fun, but you'll also feel like life is getting a little out of control, with nobody in charge. Even last-borns can handle controlled chaos for only so long. WORST FAMILY BLENDOnly-child female and an only-child male: Not only will the two butt heads, but neither will have much of a clue about the other gender.
Female last-born with no brothers and male last-born with no sisters: Not only are you compounding the problems of two last-borns, but neither really knows very much about the opposite sex -- at least in a psychological sense -- and so wouldn't be particularly understanding and supportive of each other.

Full Semi Circle
delicate - damien rice ("so why'd you fill my sorrows with the words you borrowed from the only place you've known")
*does a loooooooooooooooooong stretch*
Ramadan was a good break from this world. out of 10, i'd rate me a 7.5 for my efforts and bettering myself. : ) insya Allah there are lessons to be learnt and i'm sure i won't waste subsequent Ramadan.
this year's Ramadan was also special, it was the last one that i will go thru as a single. next year's insya Allah i will go thru it with awak. sahur with him, fast with him, break fast with him, go prayers with him and wake him up for qiyyam. hah! right...i can't even drag my own butt outta bed some nights...
189 days to my nikah insya Allah...and yes...i have to confirm...i have done nothing! muehahehaehahehaehehahe....yeah i'm waiting for a miracle, a magic wand to appear before me and i can just flick my wrist here and there and things will miraculously appear or confirm by themselves. why am i not feeling excited? or busy with the preparations? (or rather, the lack of it)...well, for a start, much has to do with the fact that my walimah date is not confirmed yet (tho awak started asking) and well...let's just say that mother is rather reluctant to let her favorite second daughter leave the nest, so she's taking her own sweet time on planning and confirming the dates and other stuff. and without mother's ok, my hands are pretty tied. so please...everyone...please be patient. i will most definitely start work pretty soon and will have updates then.
ok i lied. i did make one tiny bit of preparation. planning my honeymoon! YAY! awak has just given the go-ahead to splurge on a 10-day adventure.exploration.discovery getaway...........so where's this mystery location? stay tuned.
it's good to be blogging again. : )
