Women over 40 July 31, 2010

i know this was not new to everyone who must have received it a long time ago.  but i just like to repeatedly remind those out there particularly the men who say women oi know this was not over 40 are over in their life.  hey you!, we are just like you, where life begins at 40 with more dignity, more sensual, very independent and more experienced than those young 20’s.  oh yes, i couldn’t agree more when you say those 20’s in this millennium knows more about life than those 20’s in the 1970’s ….is that sex what you mean?  anyway, enjoy this article and i love every word he said about WOMEN OVER 40.

********

60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)
As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all.

Here are just a few reasons why:

  

  • If a woman over 40 doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it’s usually more interesting.

  • Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won’t hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it.

  • Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it’s like to be unappreciated.
  • Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40.

  • Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
  • Older women are forthright and honest. They’ll tell you right off that you are a jerk if you are acting like one.
  • You don’t ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

***********

Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons.

Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress.

Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, “Why to buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?”, here’s an update for you.

Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage! ahaks!!!!

Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!

Why married men? May 26, 2010

Filed under: Advises,Humor,Women — lapuce @ 11:41 pm
Tags: , , ,

the subject that i will touch this time will be considered sensitive to some or too painful to be discussed or perhaps might be considered as a condemn to some women.  but the truth must be told and shared.  in fact with the increasing no of women in this world and less man, this could be the reason some women would not mind to share or even have an affair with a married man.

 

if you find yourself under such a situation, then you know exactly what i mean and i know exactly how you feel coz i’ve been through this painful journey.  i shall never forget and will never try to forget.  your family members, your friends, your colleague, they were all in unison advising you to leave him, forget about him.  instead of listening to them, we continued to fight for the love that could never belong to us.  in the end we hurt ourselves.

how best can we advise women out there who are still living in this disillusion relationship?

don’t get involve, get out, run as fast as you can, run as far as you can, run in the opposite direction, cut off the communication, change your phone no, change your home address if you possibly can….yes, we can’t deny having an affair with a married man is tempting, it’s a challenge, but it’s not worth a bit of our life, so, so not worth it.  believe me…..been there, done that and i have no more tears to cry my hearts out….it’s not an easy experience to endure…..

however, to those who think that you can handle the situation with a promise not to break up his family, think again, think hard, coz this will change over time when suddenly you realize, he’s on your mind every morning, every night and all the times in between, you can’t wait to see him, to feel him, to touch him, to be close to him, to be with him all the times, even worse when what you want most is for him to feel the same which you know he probably doesn’t, even if he claims to really care.  but of course caring is not enough, you want him to love you so much till it hurts.  but then it’s too late to turn back and run.

so ladies, there are some things which you should consider before you start being stamped as a “home wrecker”.

restrictions in public places: you can’t be seen in public places together, you can’t hold hands in public, you can’t hug him in public, you can’t show your intimacies in public, you can’t visit him often in the office, and you may never meet his family and the people that are important to him.  all the times you may have to be discreet and tip toed around certain people, ducking and diving to avoid his family, friends and working colleague!

restrictions in time: you can’t call him freely or at anytime you want to, you will always have to wait for him to call you when he could find the time away from his family or his friends, your relationship has to be built around his free time and you can’t just show up at his house.

sacrifices: he’s already a dating partner to his wife, so how can you be sure he can give his whole heart to you, you cannot have him all for yourself, and you know that much, though it takes you to an extraordinary length to pursue this kind of love, you will still encounter lots of pains along the way.

a pointless end: survey shows that men who are contemplating to divorce his wife, in the end will not do it, even if he gives you the sky and the moon as a promise that he’ll be with you, why stay?  you think he would sacrifice anything for you, but, hey! life is not a romantic novel.  there is no end to the relationship; you’ll get hurt deeper instead.

condemnable titles: even if he did divorce his wife, could you live comfortably with the guilt that he left them for you?  what if people you know found out about it and shun you from their list and label you as a home wrecker or worse as a slut?  can you live with the title, even if he’s the one that initiated the relationship?  it doesn’t matter how unhappy he says he is, because in everyone’s eyes, you are still a mistress and a home wrecker?  can you risk losing other people’s respect?

curiosity: how sure are you that you are the only one?  if he can cheat on his wife the one he married, the one who made the truthful vows to his wife, what makes you be so sure he will be faithful to you? you will always want to know more about him, where he goes for holiday with his family, comparing present he bought for his wife, etc, etc, etc….

holiday seasons: are you prepared to spend major festive holidays on your own while he is with his family, exchanging gifts among them, thinking of them having romantic holidays, sharing romantic meals together? you will always be the last in line. this will genuinely break your heart, yet you know that you have no reason to feel like that.

who’s the winner: you or the wife?  oh yes, as a mistress you gets the sexual pleasure, there’s no need to do some of the things the wife must do i.e. washing, ironing, cleaning up, etc, coz you believe it’s only a part time which is better than not anytime.  you as a part time lover ask this to yourself, is this fair to you?  question is “who is the true winner in this situation?” it’s the men, they has the best of both worlds and only has commitment to one.  he has no intention of ever letting his wife knows about his other woman and he always wants the other woman to think he is misunderstood by his wife.

guilt: there are many people involve, not only between you and him but his wife and his children.  you will always feel guilty if he ever leaves his wife and children for you. when you are playing with heart you are playing with lives and such is a very sensitive matters.

i know it’s not easy to break the relationship.  you feel weak, you think you can just walk away and say goodbye but the thought of never be with him is horrible.  be strong and fight this attraction even if you have to pretend in front of him that you are over him, do it, best not to treat him as your friend, eventually it will get easier, no doubt the scar will always be printed on your heart, you will never forget, but the pain will be lesser and by then you will find a man who is free to love you because you special ladies deserve to be pampered and loved by the right man.

 

Things U should not say 2 a single person May 9, 2010

Filed under: Advises,Humor,Women — lapuce @ 9:29 am
Tags: , ,

i took this from http://dating.personals.yahoo.com/singles/datingtips/89007/19-things-you-should-never-say-to-a-single-person, and being a single person, i will always be bombarded with these kinds of questions from every corner.  this is also the reason why i sometimes refuse to attend family gathering or family wedding, etc, not running away from the nosy aunties and uncles and cousins, etc, but i am afraid that i might say something below their belt and offended them too much that they will bring it to their grave….:-)  anyway gals, enjoy reading ok as usual my comments in red color.

********

It happens when you are not looking.

Yeah rite, this is bullshit.  Many people found their life partner while they were not even looking for one.

There are plenty of fish in the sea.

Sure, there are plenty of fish out there but we are not there to buy them like buying them from the supermarket and most of the good fishes are all taken.

So, why are you single?

Maybe I just like being single.  What is your problem, don’t you like your marriage?

You’re too picky.

Hey, I’ve seen happily married couple divorced after 3-4 years when during their courting time they said they found their soul mate etc, etc…..so why should I not be picky?

You’ll find the right person for you.

How do you know I’ll find the right guy?  And how do you know the guy that I’ll met will be the right, perfect guy for me huh?

He’s out there.

This is creepy, he’s out there and he’s aiming for single ladies? Sounds like a stalker to me 🙂

It was just bad timing.

No, you are wrong, the timing is always right, it’s just that we are not suitable for each other.  So rather than getting miserable we might as well split. Understand!!

Just have fun with it!

So funny, this comes out from someone who married after school and just met her husband for 6 months?

Have you tried online dating?

Excuse me!!  We are not desperado’s.  Don’t they know people got con for this?

He just wasn’t the right guy for you.

How do you know?  I never complain about him to you?

Well, when Steve and I first got together…

Helloooooo….we are talking about me here….we heard enough about you…..

When the time is right, you will meet someone.

Yeah rite, as though you are the God!!!

Wow, I wish I were single and in your shoes!

Oh really? Then why the heck you got married so early?  Or else you could have just joined our singleton group!  So the more singleton the merrier!

Your turn next [at weddings].

Can you please come out with more intelligent sentences?

It will happen when you least expect it.

Aaaahhhh……am yawning…..

Some guy is going to come along and ruin your career/life plans.

I know you envy me because of my good career and your life is all about your husband and your children and you don’t have a career that you can boost around, but I will make sure that the man that I’ll find will support me having a career.

But you’re so pretty! Why don’t you have a boyfriend?

Is this a compliment or a sarcastic remark?

It just wasn’t meant to be.

Hate it when this comes out from someone who smugly said they are happily married!

Sure, Steve rescues kids from abusive homes, donated my sister a kidney, and picks up fresh flowers for me daily on his way home from work, but will he QUIT IT with the sports on TV already?

Oh please stop complaining, you’ve got your hubby and kids and just live with it, it’s your choice, besides we hate listening to your moaning and whining about your petty family thingy.

********

For those who are married or in a relationship, if you do not have any good advice or wisdom for your single friends, just please keep your mouth shut, ok, it would be more comforting to us.

 

10 places u r guaranteed 2 meet men? What???

Filed under: Humor,Women — lapuce @ 8:37 am
Tags:

today while browsing through yahoo i found this article that was written by Stylecaster about “10 places you are guaranteed to meet men”…….hahahahaa……funny ain’t it because you can find men everywhere.  there is no need to stress yourself by going through this list.  a woman should be themselves, do what they love doing and if God says you’ll meet someone, it will happen one day.  anyway, below are the 10 lists taken from the web.  check out my comments in red.  ladies if you are so desperate to find men perhaps this list could help, not an advice but heck give it a try, you’ll never know rite?

1. Eat out

Busy, single men don’t have time to cook. This is why they need a girlfriend! Just kidding. However, when they are tired and hungry after work, they dine out at restaurants. So if you want to meet a new man, try a new restaurant at least once a week.  Ladies, if you keep on going to a new restaurant every day, not only you’ll be thinning your wallet and getting bored while dining alone but you’ll be fattening your body, so let’s just stay at home and do our cooking and enjoy the nice music at home.

2. Join the gym

Gyms are places where all body conscious men go to let off some steam. If you meet a man at the gym you can see what he really looks like when he’s all sweaty. If he looks good in gym clothes, he’ll look great in real clothes. People who work out are also much happier (translation: a better partner to be with).  I hate going to the gym and if you find me there, it’s because someone must have commented on my thighs or my stomach and all the times I have no time to look around for some nice hunk as I was so busy concentrating on my exercise.

3. Pay attention to your pet

The sun is out and love is in the air. People are outside enjoying the weather. Take the opportunity to give your dog some extra attention and go to the park. If you don’t have a dog, borrow one. Many men think of dogs as soul mates (who else better understands their zest for the simple things in life?) and will often frequent dog runs. If a man sees a woman walking a cute dog, he will most likely start talking to her.  I once had a friend who actually rent a dog to bring the dog run every morning and evening just for the purpose to catch men and the result, nothing, but the dog met his partner instead.  What if you have a cat?  Will this also help to find men?  You can’t take out a cat for a walk like you take out a dog rite?  🙂

4. Fix things

To me, Home Depot is the worst place in the world. I would rather sit in an icebox and freeze than go to an oversized tool shed. But, guys consider it their inner handyman Mecca. Men love fixing and building things, so Home Depot (or Lowes) stores are always filled with an array of manly men.  I only fix things when my bulb went off or because i need to find ant’s spray for my home.  Yes, you can find men but they look boring to me, though 😦

5. Start to love toys

Men love toys. The bigger the boat and the faster the engine, the more powerful the guy will be. The same way women love fashion shows, guys love toy shows. Car and boat shows are places where single men are like a flock to a shepherd. If you attend a car or boat show, pick up on the finer things in life (um, Ferraris anyone?), while meeting a man to drive it.  This could be true.  My aunt met her husband when she sent her car to the workshop and they exchanged notes and mobile no’s and now they are happily married.  But it also depends on what car you are driving.  If you are driving a sporty car it will definitely catch the men’s attention.

6. Wash car

Speaking of cars, most men love their four-wheelers and they like them to appear brand new. It could be a rut (pun intended), but I’ve always dated men who are car freaks and I’ve been taken to car washes much too often. But while I’m there (bored to death), I’ve noticed that they were usually filled with men, and pretty hot ones sometimes. Head to a car wash and remember, your car can never be too shiny.  I sent my car once a week for washing and I don’t find myself surrounded by good looking men.  Maybe I was at the wrong car wash centre…hahahahaaa……

7. Be tech-friendly

True or false? Men are into electronics. All the men I’ve dated (or known for that matter) have proved this statement to be true. Men love technology and are always looking for new phones. If you want to meet a tech-friendly type of guy, frequent a Verizon, Sprint, or AT&T store.  Could also be true.  Let’s go to Low Yat Plaza and check out if you can score any men there….hehehehee….

8. Pick up a sport

Do you like tennis or golf? Well, start to love them both! Being active will boost your confidence and help you stay fit. Golf courses and tennis clubs are places that men go to with their friends. If you join one, you can better your game and meet new people.  Ladies, gold and tennis are out of the field now, diving is the “IN” thing now.  Ever since I joined diving I met all kinds of men with all kind of levels of mentality, trust me you’ll love seeing them in their diving suit with their tanks and fins and they look yummy…hahahahaha…..

9. Start reading

Reading is a great way to escape your day-to-day troubles. Go to a bookstore and kill two birds with one stone – find a book and a brand new man. Some men love to learn and are always looking for reading material. If you’re browsing the same aisle, then you know you have something in common.  Been doing this once a month and I only found fathers who are busy accompanying their children to buy school and story books……:-(

10. Get cultured

Experience a typical New York moment by going to a museum. There are new exhibits opening all the time. If you meet a man at a museum, chances are he is interesting and cultured. You can also brush up on some art history while looking for that prospective boyfriend or husband.  I dated a man who are so into churches and museums and we went and visited every single churches and museum around Germany and France and I had enough of it and no way any men can push me around churches and museum anymore.

*************

My advice Ladies, live your life to the fullest, do things that interest you and for your own good, men is not the only thing in our mind, we can live without them, you can ask around you who are the living proof example, we don’t need to stress ourselves to find men, if he shows up one day, then good for you!


 

MBA (Mentally Below Average) Management Lessons March 2, 2010

Filed under: Humor — lapuce @ 11:53 am
Tags:

LESSON 1

A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp. They rub the lamp and a ghost appears.

The ghost says, “Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each”

So the eager senior manager shouted, “I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries.” Pfufffff… And he was gone.

Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted, “I want to be In Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails.” Pfufffff¡ . And he was also gone.

The boss calmly said, “I want these two idiots back in the office after lunch at 12.35pm.”


MORAL OF THE STORY IS: “ALWAYS ALLOW THE BOSS TO SPEAK FIRST”

******************

LESSON 2

Standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand, “Listen,” said the CEO, “this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?”

“Certainly,” said the young executive.

He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.

“Excellent, excellent!” said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the shredder machine. “I just need one copy.”

 

MORAL: “NEVER, NEVER ASSUME THAT YOUR BOSS KNOWS EVERYTHING”

******************

LESSON 3

An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA When the American turned to the Japanese and asked, “What kind of -ese are you?”

The Japanese confused, replied, “Sorry but I don’t understand what you mean.”

The American repeated, “What kind of -ese are you?”Again, the Japanese was confused over the question.

The American, now irritated, then yelled, “What kind of -ese are you … Are you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese! Etc……??? ”

The Japanese then replied, “Oh, I am Japanese.”

A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked what kind of ‘key’ was he.

The American, frustrated, yelled, “What do you mean what kind of -kee’ am I?!”

The Japanese said, “Are you a Yankee, donkee, or monkee?”


MORAL: “NEVER INSULT ANYONE”

******************

LESSON 4

There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, an American and a French, who found this small genie bottle. When they rubbed the bottle, a genie  appeared.

Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle, He said, “Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you a  wish. When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you want the pool of water to be! Come, and then your wish will come true.”

The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted, “WINE”. The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine. The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool.

Next is the Russian’s turn, he did the same and shouted, “VODKA” and Immersed himself into a pool of vodka.

The German was next and he jumped and shouted, “BEER”. He was so contented with his beer pool.

The last is the American. He was running towards the pool when suddenly he steps on a banana peel. He slipped towards the pool and shouted, “SHIT!!!!!!! ……… “

MORAL: “THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING BECAUSE SOMETIMES ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN”

******************

LESSON 5

The organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was in charge. Each organ took a turn to speak up:

Brain……. .. I should be in charge because I run all body functions.

Blood…….. I should be in charge because I circulate oxygen for the brain.

Stomach… I should be in charge because I process food to the brain.

Legs……… I should be in charge because I take the brain where it wants to go.

Eyes……… I should be in charge because I let the brain see where it’s going.

Asshole….. I should be in charge because I get rid of your waste.

All the other parts laughed so hard and this made the asshole very mad.

To prove his point, the asshole immediately slammed tightly closed and stayed that way for 6 days, refusing to rid the body of any waste whatsoever.

Day 1 – Brain got a terrible headache and cried out for relief

Day 2 – Stomach got bloated and began to ache terribly

Day 3 – Legs got cramps and became unstable

Day 4 – Eyes became watery and vision became blurred

Day 5 – Blood became toxic and poisoned the body

Day 6 -The other organs agreed to let the asshole be in charge.

MORAL OF THE STORY: “NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, OR HOW IMPORTANT YOU THINK YOU ARE, YOU WILL FIND THAT IT IS ALWAYS THE ASSHOLE THAT IS IN CHARGE”.

 

How to deal with nosy neighbor? February 12, 2010

Filed under: Advises,Humor — lapuce @ 8:45 am
Tags: ,

ggrrrr…..again, i got attacked by this nosy neighbour.  i don’t know why he is so interested in my life.  i never disturb other neighbours.  my cat never strays to neighbours’ garden.  i never rammed my car engine in the middle of the night.  occasionally they will hear my voice yelling at stray cats that are so generous living their presents in my garden and i had to remove it or else the house will stink.  overall, i am a good neighbor.  i always want to be friendly to my neighbors but i also need my privacy.

this neighbor of mine is friendly up to the point where he became nosy, pesky, nuisance and downright  intrusive.  somehow, i think he is bored and may not have much to do, besides sending his wife to the LRT station early in the morning and fetch her from the lrt station in the evening.  of course, i know his daily activities, he told me, ok.  so to past his time he picked me as his victim to be nosy.  at home, he only has his wife, his 20 cats and himself.

today, he came to my gate while i was watering the plants.  he always wants to know why i am always at home instead in the office.  he must be curious because if i am not working, how am i paying the house rental, the car installment, the house amenities, etc.  then he asked whether i know how to enjoy my life; such as going for coffee, or go to a club, listen to music or spend time with friends.  inside, i was laughing my guts out – oh man…..do i look naïve to him?…hahahahaaa…….obviously he doesn’t know me that well…

“bro, been there, done that, long time ago, enough for me, am happy now with my life”, i answered him.

though i have answered most of his questions, i can still see that he still have more questions to ask…..thank God to my colleague….he called me at the right time, so i have an excuse to go inside the house.

i then googled to check if there is a way to get rid of this nosy neighbor of mine, you know without hurting his feelings, then i will feel uncomfortable if we bump into each other, so i found these:

  • be harsh, perhaps he would understand and stay away from me – never done this before but can try, to be harshed, i need to be in an “excellent” mood then it would be a drama.
  • be polite to tell him off, by doing this the both of us will not feel so hurt – easy to do, but will be my last choice.
  • hang thick curtains – i hate thick curtains, i feel claustrophobic and i love my lacy curtains…..:-(
  • plant trees higher than the fences – ok done that too but he can still go to my gate, sigh!
  • place a camera and tell him that you have this camera watching every people’s move – reason, so that he would be afraid to ask silly questions.
  • avoid him completely – i’ve done this and due to his thick skin he does not realize it at all.
  • ignore him completely – done this too but as i said due to his thick skin he doesn’t care.

 

Office Sarcasm January 21, 2010

Filed under: Humor — lapuce @ 4:32 am
Tags: ,

1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4:00 p.m. and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.

 2. If it’s really a rush job, run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it’s going. That helps. Or even better, hover behind me, advising me at every keystroke.

3. Always leave without telling anyone where you’re going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.

 4. If my arms are full of papers, boxes, books, or supplies, don’t open the door for me. I need to learn how to function as a paraplegic and opening doors with no arms is good training in case I should ever be injured and lost all use of my limbs.

 5. If you give me more than one job to do, don’t tell me which is the priority. I am psychic.

6. Do your best to keep me late. I adore this office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do. I have no life beyond work.

 7. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. If that gets out, it could mean a promotion.

 8. If you don’t like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversations. I was born to be whipped.

 9. If you have special instructions for a job, don’t write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done. No use confusing me with useful information.

 10. Never introduce me to people you’re with. I have no right to know anything. In the corporate food chain, I am plankton. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.

 11. Be nice to me only when the job I’m doing for you could really change your life and send you straight to manager’s hell.

 12. Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it’s nice to know someone is less fortunate. I especially like the story about having to pay such high taxes on the bonus check you received for being such a good manager.

 13. Wait until my yearly review and THEN tell me what my goals SHOULD have been. Give me a mediocre performance rating with a cost of living increase. I’m not here for the money, anyway.

 

 

Why do people brag?

Filed under: Humor — lapuce @ 1:50 am
Tags: ,

Many months ago I was invited to a reunion.  It was good to see old friends again.  Lots of hugs, lots of kisses on the cheeks, lots of questions about how’s life so far, basically how many kids and where do you stay.  It was also good to know that most of them married and have many kids and some married twice and still married 🙂 only 2-3 of them are a divorce.  From reunion, we extended to phone calls, visiting them at their home, exchanging recipes, comparing hobbies, etc.

However recently I also noticed that some of these friends started talking about how great their family is.  They are  always boasting that they have the best or the smartest children, the best husband with the best in the world job, that they can bake cookies and cakes better than anyone, that they are the busiest people in the world, that they drive only imported cars, etc., etc.  Seems to them that talking to the friends is not enough, they started to post their daily chores, their cakes and cookies photos in Facebook for the wide world to know.

I used to listen without leaving any comments.  I take it why not;  “if you have it, flaunt it”.  Furthermore, let them be proud of themselves.   Until one day when we were invited for tea, and a friend brought their husband and another friend came with a celebrity.  The friend with husband asked who is this celebrity pretended as if she doesn’t seem to know, reason being, due to her kind of work that she was always out of the country, she hasn’t got time to get to know any latest news about our celebrities.  Mind you this celebrity is also very famous in Singapore.  Worst when she commented that it’s cool that we can easily talk to her husband, which I found this funny and I asked why, she replied “you know my husband’s designation and his kind of work normally people are kind of intimidated talking to him”.  Duh!!  I almost puke when I heard her comments.  Hallo, he can be a CEO, or a pilot or the famous F1 driver, we are definitely not scared or feel intimidated to talk to anyone.  Now I turned to ignore their telephone calls or their invites, no comments given in Facebook either.  I am invisible.  I can see them but they can’t see me.

I happened to share this incident with my BFFs,  questions thus arise why do people boast, why do they behave this way and do they really believe their own hype?  Why the genuine high achievers, the ones who have succeeded, they are a tad more humble?  Yes, we do sometimes boast and we are all guilty of a little boasting, bigging ourselves up when we feel intimidated or overshadowed but I am talking about extraordinary boasters who have no limits.  One of the suggestions that I received from my BFFs was to ask me to check the boaster’s background and see what makes them turn into such an annoying people.

What I noticed about boasters particularly the women, they were just ok at school but they were lucky enough to marry a man with money, live in a big house and drive a big MPV.  Some of them started working early right after school and earned 3-4 thousands of ringgits, without any papers of qualifications, mind you, that was in the early 80’s, while we were all busy cracking our head to study, did not earn anything but polishing our family’s money for our educations in university.

sssh shhh…we heard you enough, pls stop bragging….

So my conclusion is, boasters are a very insecure with low self-esteem human being.  By boasting about their families perhaps will make them feel more in control of their insecurities.   In order to be at the same par/level with the high achievers, they need to boast even if not about themselves but about their families and assuring themselves always to be better than anyone, and they want the world to know about it.  Boasters are all around us, whether you notice it or not, they are all lurking behind you to tell you their stories.  It’s kind of interesting to be with them but after a while they became a boring person to us, I hope I will have the courage to tell them straight to their face that I am extremely bored with their boasting.

I got this from a friend and true we ought to think before we apologize for everything.  Apologizing is the most common thing that Malaysian would always do apparently.

Never apologize for pursuing what makes you happy.  Even if you need to quit your job, transfer schools, or move across the country.  Always do what you really want.

Never apologize for using proper English.  Keeping it real doesn’t mean you have to speak Ebonics…

Never apologize for giving your best in a relationship that just didn’t work out. (He’s just a jerk!)

Never apologize for crying.  Wear waterproof mascara and hey! express yourself!

Never apologize for being successful.  Only haters want to keep you at their level. (I am surrounded by many, I mean the haters..hahaha)

Never apologize for 10 pounds you need to lose.  People who truly care about you will accept you as you are.

Never apologize for wearing a weave or braids.  You bought it, so it is yours.

Never apologize for being frugal.  Just because you save your money, instead of blowing it on the latest fashion emergency doesn’t mean you’re cheap.

Never apologize for treating yourself to something special.  Sometimes you have to show yourself some appreciation.

Never apologize for demanding respect.  You are to always be treated as a Queen!

Never apologize for leaving an abusive relationship.  Your safety should always be a priority.

Never apologize for keeping the ring even if you did not get married, once given, it’s all yours honey..:-)

Never apologize for setting high standards in a relationship.  You know what you can tolerate and what simply gets on your nerves.

Never apologise for ordering dessert or more than one desert.

Never apologize for setting high standards in blessing.

Never apologize for saying NO.

Never apologize for making more money than your man, you work hard and you deserve to get paid.

Never apologize for dating outside your race.  Just because you found Mr. Right across the color line doesn’t mean you don’t love your Brothers…

Never apologize to your new friends about old friends.  There’s a reason she’s been your girl from day one.

Never apologize for not knowing how to cook.  even if you can’t burn like Grandma, you know how to order a good take out.

Never apologize for being a single mom,  Babies are a blessing.

Never apologize for being you!!  Keep up your head and keep moving forward.  Always remember that God loves you and he always has your back.
