Good heavens, did you know

that you had robbed me of my one and only little self esteem. i do have a little bit just in case you didn't know. and i do cherish it, until now it's all gone. admittedly, i am slowly developing a phobia, one i don't dare to face. but i can only face it alone. it wasn't meant to be this way. it was the technical me at fault. things that i should have done, but left it behind my tiny brain. things that i shouldn't have done, i've done it with little regret. now things have happened, and less i want it to be known. god, i've been robbed. and what do you know.

that it was so packed every morning. but i guess you wouldn't care, cos' it's not you who's in the sardine-packed. and fabulous people cramp in. fabulous people, judging from the very superficial facts. ironed clothes, cufflings, polished shoes, nails, korean-style make up. japanese-style hair dye, victoria secrets lingerie, The iPhone, The iPod, The iPod touch, Today newspaper, MyPaper, mp3 players which plays downloaded mp3 files, leather bags, clam shell bags, heels, LV, Coach, Gucci, BOSS, perfumes from all flora and fauna. god, i'm in white polo, grey shorts, and grey slippers. and what do you know.

Good night. Take care. Cherish and be cherished. Done and keep doing. Love and hope love finds you back. Kindness begets kindness. Be brave to hug and cry, because that's just the way humans are. you are.

yes, i am exaggerating.

wonders.

wonder if cognitive dissonance theory can be applied to understand the volunteers of YOG?
wonder if opponent process theory can understand relationship problems?

more to wonder.
Food for thought.

Based on an actual conversation that took place between a "relationship expert" and a caller on a radio call-in show:

"Hi, Dr. I need some advice. I'm wondering if I should get married or break off my engagement and finish university first."

"How old are you?"

"21."

"Break off your engagement. Statistically, your marriage has a much better chance of surviving if you don't get married until your late 20s."

"Oh. Okay."
