On Politics

It is becoming a general topic engaging everyone to discuss politics these days. Despite the fact that we have democracy as our main system for decades but there are still serious incidents killing innocent people happening all the time. The Mumbai attack, Bangkok airports siege and demonstrations, Greek violent act, and many more have something in common: innocent citizens were sacrificed and the background can be linked back to politics.

For more than 300,000 years that the Homo genus have wandered the earth, the word "humankind," which should be composed of "human" and "kind" cannot be assured completely. The teachings of Buddha about lives are timeless but still our own blindness prevents us to normally live our lives and reach the ultimate nirvana. Concepts regarding utopia and organisation of civilisation are still the fantasy or theoretical illusion politicians are selling but, in reality, chaos is abound since lives are so complex and unpredictable.

Stop believing the propaganda, I say, the fabricated ideas without thinking with our logic and reasons first. If we believe truly, then act accordingly. Causing someone else's discomfort, or even hurt must be forbidden. Because, in the end, all that is worth doing is living the peaceful lives.

Getting Something Done – Listmania

After years of studying and working, it is often believed that our brains are mature enough to think of itself as an organizing tool doing lots of lots of tasks in a specific pattern or order. Sequential and parallel task management is key to this GTD method widely appraised by workers worldwide as it sums up one of the most efficient ways to organize our personal and professional lives.

After some research, there are two softwares working great with this scheme: OmniFocus and OmniOutliner. In a few days users will become listmania obsessing with To-Dos, shopping lists, reading lists, must-have lists, etc. Moreover, since the launch of App Store by Apple alongside iPhone 2.0 firmware, loads of to-do-list applications (both free and commercial) are tempting us to download them onto our pwned 2G or legit 3G iPhones.

Life can never be this organized.

Capturing Thoughts

There are various ways to capture our thoughts and ideas. Sometimes it is best for someone to write out loud because he or she might be in a mood to describe the events or wonderful experiences. Sometimes a photo can portray one's memory without the need to give caption. Or sometimes a mix of both is ideal because an image itself cannot convey the true meaning of the author or photographer.

A WordPress theme "Monotone" in the form of photoblogging is on one extreme, while this Blogspot theme is on the other, just plain text. While Tumblr sits neatly in between.


P.S. WordPress blog of mine (vi.blog) has once again been updated and it is decided to be one of photoblogging. Feel free to drop by.

Summary of Social Network Sites

It is often sarcastically portrayed in JoT comics that social networking sites might somehow promote health deficiency (instead of the opposite). Somehow these sites are attempting to creep into one's life, virtual or cyber life to be exact. Various sites are designed so well and so minimal that almost everybody can easily subscribe in no time.

The formula of getting users to involve in their sites which are friendly-designed and well-equipped with themes and widgets results in Multiple/Dissociative Personality Disorder. Side effects of this is time wasted unnecessarily on updating each and every networking sites subscribed.

Symptoms of MPD can be categorized into two groups : psychological behaviour, physical illness. Examples of these are :
  • multiple mannerisms, attitudes and beliefs which are dissimilar to each other
  • headaches and other body pains
  • distortion or loss of subjective time
  • depersonalization
  • amnesia
  • depression                                                                      (source : Wikipedia)

These can be diagnosed in a basic manner by viewing pages at various networking sites of anybody and analyse the differences between them. If they are of significance, then he or she may have MPD.

To cure such disorder, it is often cited that "reconnection" of the multiple personalities by psychotherapy (or behavioural therapy) and medication. Easily ignore other personalities and focus and respond only to single personality to help the person to establish a consistent one.

Therefore, if it happens to experience such networking sites, do visit one of these sites at a regular basis:
  • Hi5 : personal journal with interaction between friends
  • MSN Spaces : older posts
  • Blogspot : personal perspective and mumble-jumble
  • Tumblr : post of things stumbled upon on the net (newly added)
Happy treatment!

Иностранцы

My experiences which involve me into a conversation of any kind of topics with foreigners so far have been exciting in a way that I never imagine myself being voluble, though verbose sometimes, because the barrier in between was so hugh and not easily breakable but more and more immersing and practising through various means and methods after so many years have proved useful and fruitful – not only allow me to communicate back and forth with other people but also open a world of information, both helpful and helplessly unnecessary, for my once-narrow block of space encompassing me and my imagination into one of limited and such.

Proofs that I can no longer feel the anxiety and shivering shrug of feeling is when I travelled to China with my family two years ago, which by that time the only thing that disappointed me was the tiny discount I got that I still regret it to this day, or when I travelled alone to Singapore and made my way to every place without fear of not being able to get back to hotel at all, thanks to the great метро "MRT," or when I dealt happily with the architect to finish the project.

The point of all this post is actually and absolutely ... nothing. Think of dummy text starting with Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ... Existentialism may somehow be able to find ways to interpret this blog-posting act of mine but please help me find some topics worthy of post and I will see what I can do.

Technolust

It is often debated recently whether we are or we are not affixed to the techno gadgets more and more. Can we survive without such things as Palm or Ultramobile Notebook or even Slim and Smart Mobile Phone?

When it comes to term of technological impact upon our lifestyle, we often argue that without such things our everyday life would be more difficult. We cannot move along the business pace and impossibly stay ahead of the coming wave of new generations.

How interesting would it be if we still use the letter as our mean to communicate and conduct the business? Comparing this to the overutilised e-mail would be like a gentle and polite snail competing in the race against outracious leopard.

No wonder nowadays that we cannot possibly wander around carrying a quill and a bottle of indian ink to summarise the minute of meeting for our ever-demanding executives, but at least we still have some room left for decoration of our e-mail template and signature to convey our identity. More and more time that we spend on the virtual world interconnected between us and the other end of the fibre-optic, less and less emotions and humours that we express toward our neighbours.

Anyway, we still crave for the latest model of do-it-all McPerson's 37 i-TV and throw our fortune on the upcoming Android-equipped phones as iPhone will not be cool tomorrow, right?
