Just a Game

How many faces can you see? They say that most people can only see a few, the more sensitive ones can identify 9 to 10, if you can see 12 and above, you're schizophrenic! They say that this picture actually has 11 faces...

Blog Interview

Mike from www.bloginterviewer.com did a short interview with me.

He says, "It is not mandatory, but we always appreciate it when our interviewees mention their interview with us on their blog or post a badge in their sidebar. This not only promotes your blog, but also shows that we interviewed you. Starting April 1st we'll be giving up to $1,000 in prizes to the top 18 rated bloggers for the month of April. To vote you and your readers must come to the blog interview and click on the "Thumbs up" button. The top rated blogs are also showcased on the sidebar of the site for everyone to see."

Those of you who would like to be interviewed yourself can write to Mike at michaelrthomas@gmail.com . :)

Tagged

Since Andrea aka Alpha Button has tagged me, I'll just have to continue this good tradition.

For those still s
cratching their heads to the meaning of "being tagged", the picture on your right is NOT it! Relax.

Tagging is just a fun way to promote friendship, share blog links, get traffic, all the good stuff. So the game is like this, if you get tagged by someone, it means someone likes you, and you'll have to pay it forward by tagging 7 other bloggers, and drop comments on their blogs to let them know that they've been tagged. Then, you'll also have to share 7 facts about yourself. Get it? Ok, let's get started!

Ok ... I'm aiming my tag-gun at:

  1. Bushido Bryan - Japanese Animals, Fish, and Wildlife - his blog on Japanese sceneries and animals is an eye-feast to those who appreciate nature's beauty!
  2. Jan - The Little Web - get another Asian perspective besides mine.
  3. Poet - Drawing and Painting - be inspired by his lively sketches and art.
  4. Stanis and other writers - Write Up Cafe - for a dose of Writer's inspiration and poems.
  5. Sarah - Writing - we all have a past, let Sarah tell you her stories.
  6. Francois - Addictive Photography - hey, check out a young man's addiction!
  7. E_M_Y - E_M_Y Reviews - a self-professed 'slightly pessimistic' 16 yr old boy from England
    doing movie reviews, good job.

Ok, 7 facts about me:

  1. Have a tendency to over plan and over do things.
  2. Believe in continual learning.
  3. Family is my priority.
  4. Selective in accepting and maintaining friendships.
  5. Serious in appearance but a joker is dying to break out any time.
  6. Coffee, tea and chocolate are my ONLY vices ;)
  7. Dream to earn a million dollars or possess super powers, either one, I'm not greedy ;)

My Cup's Half Full

I'm supposed to be doing something more important other than blogging! But what the heck, blogging is therapeutic. Let me release some steam here and then go do what I'm supposed to do :)

Unhappiness can be contagious and negative vibes can spread like plagues!

Life dishes out endless lessons in both good and bad circumstances. And if you manage to learn something from them, be they bad circumstances or bad relationships, they are all but character-building tools used by God to shape and mould you. Observing others' behaviours and drawing lessons from them can shorten your own learning curve and save you from many a hard knock in life. You can learn what TO DO from positive people, and what NOT TO DO from negative people.

I've been lamenting about my circumstances lately and grumbled far too much, so much so that I'm beginning to loathe myself. I decide that enough is enough! Kinda give myself a hard knock on my head for whining so much. Why the heck should I complain? Why, I'm so blessed in my life, I should stop whining and feeling sorry for myself, or wishing for better things to come!

I must stop seeing my cup as half empty instead of half full!

Ok, I shall snap out of my disgruntlement.

SNAP!


Instead of looking at the things you don't have, look at the things you have.
Instead of feeling inadequate at things you don't do well, be diligent in the things that you do.

We All Need A Little Encouragement Once In A While!

A few days' back, I posted the following message in Blogger Discussion Group; The Coffee Shop:
"Hi, I'm blogging for the first time. Here's my blog www.daysofourlives-jane.blogspot.com . Would like to make friends with like-minded people. Do drop me a note. Thanks. :) "

... and was pleasantly surprised to see responses from fellow bloggers from different parts of the world!

AV from http://netherregionoftheearthii.blogspot.com/ and http://tomusarcanum.blogspot.com/ wrote: "Well written blog, enjoyed the stories about making money."

Michael from http://doyouhateittoo.blogspot.com/ wrote: "Days of our Lives is a good, good soap. Nice blog. =D"

Croutons from http://croutonsblog.blogspot.com/ wrote: "Greetings blogger with the artistry to compose such a harmonious blog pleasing to the eye and worth a read. Reading it was deep and provocative and made me reflect on my own situations with the topics you wrote about, like motivations and having people want to listen to you. The look of the blog itself is professionally put together even just for a hobby, it looks better than most websites. Nice, I will be looking forward to reading more new posts."

Jessa from http://jessicalikestoexist.blogspot.com wrote: "Welcome jane. I checked out your blog, and left a comment. I can't wait to read more of your posts."

I replied to all: "Thank you AV, Michael, Croutons and Jessah! I've had a hard time finding this thread after I first posted here, thus the late reply. Thanks for the encouragement."

To return the favour, I visited all their blogs. Interesting read. They came from such diverse backgrounds! We connected, but for a moment due to our common interest - blogging. Hm, such is the power of the internet, connecting people who have never met, and perhaps, will never meet.


Dear fellow bloggers, your simple act of kindness and encouragement is acknowledged and received with gratitude. Thank you very much. :)
