Particular thing in you :-)

Perhaps we have some particular things that only happen to us?

My number one confusion regarding what everybody around me like or even love that I don't is:

I don't like chicken satay with peanut sauce!!!

Since I'm a heavy eater (but apparently without any significant effects to my weight

) I think I could eat almost every dishes imaginable (if the host in Discovery Travel & Living could eat it then I presume I can to)

So some friends of mine trying to convince me that
it's just a matter of mindset or habit, but then I've tried different eating
places (that's why I think I could give advice on where you can find
some good chicken satay around) and in the end the conclusion is still
the same: I just don't like chicken satay!

(well I'm also don't like many things such as clubbing or dishonest people but I believe many other people don't like it neither so no wonder about it)

to illustrate how I feel when I eat chicken satay, it brings strong taste straight to the center of my brain

almost as strong as wasabi taste for me but in a completely opposite enjoyment (for sure I don't have any problem with strong wasabi)

so usually I couldn't finish even just the first or second skewer... damn!

but for any other satays, well.. I'd love to eat them... a lot!!! so bring it on!!!

The Golden Rule

IN EVERYTHING

DO TO OTHERS

WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE THEM

DO TO YOU

Everybody
is unique

…when
we’re a little kid perhaps we feel that we’re the center of universe and
anything else just not us or not me, we just focus on ourselves to maintain our
happy little kid well-being …

(those
good old days…he he…)

…at
the time we grow up, we’ll realized that life is very amazing and beautiful
with so many wonder and magic on it…

…then
we’ll also realized that we share the world with another human being just like us
with senses, feelings, emotion, and so on…

…each
with their own preferences… personality… values… intelligent… habits... dreams… …character… traits… talents… purpose…

…facing
with all of this we could choose to treat people the way we’d like to be
treated with…

…or
not…

…everybody
have their own choices…

…to
make their hearts sing…

Human Emotion

Human emotion

While humans are not always
thinking (*yea rite) we’re always alert and aware of any
emotion-provoking stimuli around us.

Over the course of a
typical day, we’ll experience a wide range of different emotions.

An item in the news may
provoke anger, a favorite piece of music may elicit joy, and disagreement with
a close friend may be distressing.

Without emotion, our world
would be numb, grey, and lacking in meaning or motivation

Human have powerful
emotional responses to a huge range of things, from personal life events to
watching our favorite sport team

For example my emotion
could be ‘stimulated’ just by watching magnificent start of an F1 racing (go
Kimi go!),

or by just a glimpse of a fine looking girl browsing in a good book
store (*imaginary conversation, me: sendirian aja mbak? (jayus)... she: loh sama
mas kan jadi
berdua? (lebih jayus lagi)…he he…)

============

Some 'popular' human
emotions that serve our 'human survivability' in some ways according to Ms Claudia Hammond (author of emotional rollercoaster book):

Joy

Sadness

Disgust

Anger

Fear

Jealousy

Love

Guilt

Hope

my "second option" ;-p

Subconscious Mind

Some say that it's
"the one" that really pulling our strings in life.

The one that we’re not
really aware of, because it lies deep below our consciousness.

They say that sometimes when we deciding something important in our life it
will become the dominant factor determining our decision, without we even
realized its influence

(perhaps when choosing a wife or husband, choosing to be happy or miserable,
supporting our career or "sabotaging" it, shaping our taste preferences, and so on & on..).

In
my opinion we could “modify” our current subconscious mind to harmonizing it
with our conscious mind.

Maybe it won’t be easy but it’s possible...

So
there’ll be no conflict of interests between parts of our mind..

...

And
we could live life the way we choose to be..
