The Apology

There is nothing like a faker apology – except, maybe, an insincere one.
You may not think you did anything wrong, but you do sincerely want to clear the air
and be the bigger person. Considering the circumstances it’s acceptable.

It does seem to me that people are sorry way too often. No one takes responsibility for their actions. They do something stupid or wrong and expect all consequences to disappear because they are sorry. There are also the ones who are sorry all the time, sorry about this, sorry about that, sorry, sorry, sorry….
If you’re apologizing that often don’t you think there’s a problem???
By apologizing that often, have you not realized that you’re no longer sincere??
I find these apologies worthless and insulting, because you know the person isn’t sorry and that in 5 min he or she will do something similar again.
If you say you’re sorry and really mean it, one would think you’d try really hard not to repeat what ever it is you were sorry about.
Apologizing does not mean all is well that ends well either. Why is it that some people apologize and expect to be forgiven instantly?? The fact that you are apologizing is showing remorse, it does not constitute forgiveness.
If you did something wrong pay your dues!
Sorry, does not erase your actions.

Resolution Assessment

Sunday January 24th 2010

24 days have gone by since the New Year landed. 24 days since we made our resolutions. Did 3 weeks pass by and already we have gone back to old habits. Forgotten the bloody resolutions already??? Old habits die hard!
This year I will not surrender so easily. I made such great progress last year and I need to push on.
Self control contributes to not only physical health but mental health as well.
What ever work we attempt cannot be perfectly done unless our minds are tranquil and calm; happiness cannot be attained from it. For one who is without peace, where is the happiness? Its all about will power isn’t it. Its no fun it hurts, I’m lazy, it’s cold, it looks good, and I’m hungry…. All the excuses are good
In the same way as, with courage and enterprise, a trainer catches hold of a wild dangerous animal, and slowly tames and finally brings it under control, so too will your will power.
Will power must be cultivated. One must not give in and must work hard to achieve what he wants. For hard work will be compensated with victory and strength.
You should not listen to nor become discouraged by, words of those who are ignorant and too lethargic to bring their bodies and mind under control and fulfill their dreams.

Take a look at your resolution and see why you aren’t doing better or why you stopped, why you didn’t even try.
Ask yourself why you made those resolutions to begin with?? If you wanted to change something doesn’t that mean you aren’t comfortable with that aspect of your life??
For one who is without peace, where is the happiness?

New Year Resolutions

Happy New Years !!!

I hope you all had a nice holiday season. May 2010 bring you all health & prosperity.
The new year is always a good time for resolutions, which last about 2 weeks and then its back to normal. We find our selves making the same resolution year after year.
I've made my usual list of 10 things i want to improve on and things i didn't get around to do in the previous year.
Last year was my first try at resolution. I found that you are better making resolution for 6 months and then revise them. This gives you chance to review and amend some of your resolutions.

Writing your resolutions down is very helpful. Write them and post them in several places where you will see them often. This will remind you of your resolutions and keep you going. It will be hard work. But think to your self, "Do your addictions control you or do you control your addictions"??
Write that down also, so you can see it and remind your self of your goals.

To my good friend Roberto, whom is undertaking a major resolution, I'm wishing him all the best in his quest. I will be there to support, encourage and help whenever you need !!! You're off to a good start keep working hard, i know you can do it.

If you have any resolution you would like to share, comments, or tricks to achieve our goals it would be great to hear them.

Dress The Part (Part 1)

I don't want my blog to become a rag mag/ bitch fest like Perez Hilton. For the record i think what Perez does is despicable and the boy should take a long look in the mirror before ever criticizing anyone ever again. That boy is full of poison, talk about bad karma !!!

I just had to show you all this because I wonder what people think before leaving the house?

Trying to look cool and wanting to be noticed at an event is fine. But one must be careful not to cross the line between cool and ridicule. In this case, need i say more......

Making the right impression is very important that we like it or not! What people see is what we are judge on first. Having the right look will augment your chances at being noticed in the best way.
X-mast parties are the best time to make a good impression outside your work place. Have the right look, to be noticed and that promotion can be closer than you think. I cannot stress the importance of your look in your professional life. Dress the part!!!!

Simpson Girls

I was never a fan of the Simpson clan. This said I’m totally bias on their look. You can look good but doesn’t mean I’ll like you as an artist.
In their attempts to glam up for the red carpet the girls of chose frock that don’t seem to agree with everyone. These outfits landed them in hot water.
In my opinion Mortisha and Disco Ball don’t look so bad. Ashlee is missing some color in her face. A little blush and lipstick would have done all the difference. Jessica on the other hand is wearing a gorgeous dress. She’s grown to be a big girl yet she still looks good. If you gain weight does it mean you have to hide under a robe all day?
I think I’ll be sick for saying this… but well done girls you look good.
