*sparklingly new life*

Slept at a time in which Dracula would be proud of you? Woke up darn early all thanks to the seemingly louder-than-usual alarm clock? Then, sub conciously evading air molecules to get to the bath room? Started looking at the mirror and wondering who's the freak in the mirror? Got yourself messily dressed and sat down at some table sipping some hot liquid? The making your way to the front door, waved a good bye and smiled weakly at ur parents? And finally carving ur way to a oh-so-beautiful day.

That was a typical day for me. Whenever i had cca, school or whatever thats boring. and i believe most people (read : lazy people) wld be like that. Ive seen those really diligent ppl, sleep early, wake up early kind. To them i guess. morning's the best part of a day. Alright Alright.. so i was thinking earlier on today, wen i was bathing, how can i actually make myself happier?

Now that i'm single, and not in love, the vibrant energy seems to have disappeared. After all.. there's zero percent i'll be "bumping into her". So yeah, i must find an alternative way. and that lies in compliments or praises!!

what do i mean? Well, think about it. Let's say early morning, your good buddy meets you up and praised u by saying.. "Hey dude! You look exceptionally handsome today!" (note: the word "exceptionally" plays a major role. try not including that word when u compliment your girlfriend. Good luck.) You'll prolly feel real good, and face the day with a whole new attitude ya? A thing to add, it doesnt have to be necessarily associated with looks. Compliments on one's great character traits works wonders too.

Ever after noticing some popular guy or some flirt(doesnt really apply to gals), you end up wondering, what sets us apart from them? The answer lies in their mouth. Not literally, but their way of talking. Usually, this breed of people are great with their tongues(again, not to be taken literally), as in they have a glib tongue. They can easily make girls swoon and making friends happy with their giving compliments. All in all, they are popular cause people feel comfortable and enjoyable being around them. (note: they make good salesman)

Nono.. im not asking you guys to be hypocrites and compliment people with fake sincerity just as to earn popularity. No matter how well u can act, people will see through you. But what can be achieved, is to be more giving by the means of compliments. Well for me, i'm not a good talker nor can i really compliment people. Perhaps im egoistic, sometimes, i just find it hard to compliment people. (maybe im a perfectionist, thinking that i can do better, i still cant really figure out..) Of course there are times, in which a guy/girl blow me off with an fresh new look. In my mind, I'll go "Wow, he/she looks hot today." but not any further than that. I wont really go up to them and say, you look great today. I do too sometimes, when i'm heads over heels and going ga-ga over some girl.

So yup, it all lies in how giving you're willing to be. Sometimes you can really bring a smile to simply anybody, by the means of a simple, sincere compliment. And the opposite can be achieved via mean criticisms. I dont wanna blabber about that. Its mean!

Went ncc today. Tomorrow there's Senior Specialist Course! Time to be staff sergeant! Can hardly wait. And i hope Nigel gets to go tomorrow too. *prays* So that's about it, a really long post i suppose. Cant help it >.<

ps: you may disagree with me. do drop a comment or two. would really appreciate it =)

So guys! go look at yourself into the mirror! "do what?" you ask. Go tell yourself how great you look today. And laugh about it and face the day with a brand new positive attitude! (even if you are botak. )
