bye bye bubble

I am so not in the creative mood but a very good advice from a professor in my college years suddenly submerge from my subconscious so I decided to share it here. The advice is simple:

- break the bubble -

We all live inside our bubbles. It's our comfort zone. If we insist on safely staying inside the bubble all the time, not only will we become boring motherfuckers, we will also develop narrow mindedness, chronic stupidity and in time we will turn into full-blown judgmental, non-creative, incompetent assholes.

So break the bubble. Do things that you're not used to. See what it's like for other people.

Bookworms, ditch your books and take drugs.
Sluts, celibate.

You get the picture.

For me, I found the exercise liberating. Granted it was risky at times but it helped me survive even the toughest challenge in life. And the good thing was, it helped me to empathize more and eventually I stopped hating people so much. Except for, well, people who take advantage of others and people who judge. Most amazingly, it turned on a switch in my brain which enables me to grasp a better understanding of things.

So it's one of the few things I promise I will keep on doing to my self. I'll keep on breaking the bubble.

unintelligent girlie musing

My best friend is in Prague. Next destination Buenos Aires.
I told her: lucky bitch.
She told me: you're the lucky bitch, you have a lovely man to come home to.

True enough.

So I made another wish.

I want that job AND a lovely man to come home to.

Instead of

Protesting pointlessly in front of the parliament building about the price increase of gasoline
Beating up people whose religious views differ to yours
Bitching about every single thing that does not work in this country

Why don't you

Read books, browse the net, talk to the experts, find God

So you could

Invent alternative for gasoline or at least, invent your own unique way to save on gasoline
See the world in a different perspective
Think of how to make things actually work in this country

Here's what I think

Intellectuals in this country need to complain less and invent more.
At least invent a unique positioning for oneself.
Like that famous little half breed girl who speaks with an accent created an edge for herself. How many 14-year olds could have their stupid remarks turned into a ring tone? She won't need to worry about price increase.

So I beg you fellow countrymen and women,
