If he’s out of your league …

I’m an average looking, moderately successful gal. Definitely, I’m not expert at love. What I am good at is …. unrequited love? D’oh! Well, let’s just say I’ve been pining for ways to find the one, the right one. And what’s more, “the drive” to fall head over heels in love with guys who indeed have done a little more than just smiling at me is compelling.

He’s out of your league. Sounds so lame, but that’s what it is. Reality bites.

But come to think of it, unrequited love is not really that bad. Look on the bright side, there might have been some ideas about unrequited love which actually are advantageous.

• You have got something to do with your spare time. When you fall madly in love with someone, it’s likely that you spend your time, even a limited amount of your leisure time, thinking about him. See, the point is, you have got someone to think about, to daydream about. You spend minutes to hours stalking him on Facebook, Twitter and the like. The thing is that you, subconsciously, slowly gain skills to discover information – detective work. Not to mention that he always seems to sneak into your head. Hahaha.

• You have found this one great way to be productive. You have got something to write about, for example. As to me, this really works.

Every cloud has a silver lining, and so they say.

This is pretty much of a silver lining to my storm cloud of unrequited love. Yes, I can see that silver lining. 

The talk of the town

What's new in Sangatta?

Colonel Sanders has been the talk of the town!

He was heartily welcomed by the local residents of Sangatta.

Yes, hundreds of them flocked to this one and only fast food restaurant chain in Sangatta.

I was ... errr, probably one of them ... LoL

a mood of despair

Despair is grey.

It sounds like crying.

It tastes bitter.

It smells like damp rooms.

It feels like walking in the rain.

It looks grey.

Despair is grey.

Defining Contentment

I am currently being assigned to work in a quite densely wooded area, 'S'. Being away from the city life, I spend my days trying to figure out if I can content myself with something emotionally comforting about working in a remote area. The feeling of being needed, allowing myself to control spending on wasteful stuff, and embracing the peaceful atmosphere are at least three forms of emotional and psychological contentment of working in a remote area.

First of all, the most sensible motive is that nearly everyone like to feel needed. There is this funny feeling when people acknowledge your presence, your work. Given the fact that the number of employees working in big cities compared to that of working in a remote area, your presence seems to make a difference. As a matter of fact, having this kind of feeling is emotionally and psychologically good for you.

Secondly, being in a remote area keeps you away from spending your money on wasteful stuff. In big cities, my spending could have been more than doubled, particularly during certain celebrations. The other way around, here in 'S', once you have made it to a shopping mall, you are likely to be puzzled of what to buy. There are no such decent shopping malls where people normally spend their money on books, clothes, shoes, and the like. Surprisingly, this situation is somewhat beneficial for I can now have my spending cuts.

Finally, you have plenty of time embracing the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Just imagine that you have had a very tiring day, all you need is probably relax and allow your mind to be free from worry after a period of work or some other activity that has made you worried. It is then; quietness seems to be the best company.

These things might surprise you and teach you new facts about working in a remote area.
