I despise people who insult and look down on others in vilification without reflecting on their own faults and flaws. They think they’re cool. They think they’re king of the world. They think they’re so much better than the rest. And what is worse, they even dare think they’re God! Seriously, shut the fuck up! Every once in awhile, I come across this kind of no shame self-proclaimed hot shots. It’s fucking annoying and it pisses me off at all times, they have no right thinking so lowly of other individuals. I’m not noble, and I certainly am not better than anyone else, I’m simply stating the obvious as well as to voice out my dissatisfaction for such self-aggrandizing imbeciles.

We all have to take the shit that life has to throw at us, some take it easy, and some don’t. However, it doesn’t mean that the ones who take it easy should step on the heads of those who don’t. It’s not fair to those who don’t get to indulge in the joys of life. I’ve always believed that strong ones exist to help the weak. That’s how I see it, that’s the way it should be. People who think they’re smarter and much more better off than the rest should not feel superior and pick on the less fortunate ones, what more insult them. Calling someone stupid, useless, dumb or anything along that line just because they’re not doing well in whatever they do is totally unacceptable and uncalled for. It disgusts me. It’s plain wrong. Stigmatized individuals, social misfits, the ones who always ends up taking the last place in class, the not-so-well-off lower-class, less fortunate ones with inborn deformities, they too deserve some degree of respect, they too deserve some dignity of their own. No one should undermine their value to the society in any way.

If you think you’re so fucking great, prove it. Prove it by helping others who are less equipped with the tools to embark on the tough journey of life and not be so full of yourself while poking fun at others for their shortcomings. How would you feel if you were in their shoes, the ones whom you’ve initially poke fun at? In this world, they are 3 types of people, people who are great and know that they are great but still have respect for others, people who are not great but think that they are the greatest by undermining the rest of the world revolving around them, and finally the third type, people who would admit that they’re not great but at least they try to be someone, or something without forgetting who they really are and where they come from. Ask yourself this, which type are you?

I’m not against people who blow their own horns just because they think that they’re somewhat distinctively influential figures in their own universe when clearly in reality, they’re not. Being arrogant with an excuse to do so, along with prove of some measure of greatness achieved in an appropriately stipulated period of time to go with it is one thing, but being boastful with little accomplishments (in a relatively short period of time) or none at all is another, and it doesn’t earn that particular person any bragging rights as opposed to someone who has actually done something significant. I dislike the latter because when their world comes crumbling down on them, they blame everyone else except themselves, expecting others to be at their feet to offer sympathy and to come to their aid after all that they’ve said and done.

If you command respect from your peers, you should first learn to earn their respect. Never take things in life for granted, your family, your friends, and your loved ones. Taking advantage and making use of other people to attain your goals in life is distasteful and utterly repugnant. Doing something like that would only damage your reputation for good in addition to discarding whatever credibilility you have left. No one would want to do your bidding. No one would want to trust you. And no one would wish to be around you, what more be your friend. In the end, you’ll be alone in your own world and all you can do is to blame yourself.

My zara sweater… it’s gone! =(

The Prestige was totally awesome. And so was Blood Diamond. Hugh Jackman and Leonardo Dicaprio were absolutely brilliant in playing their respective roles; they both make superlative first class actors. Movies like that, they get you thinking, like what’s the point of taking revenge on someone because of something they did, that has happened when there’s no turning back just for the cycle to repeat itself and cause more pain and misery when one could have easily attained peace of mind and moved on in life through forgiveness of ones sins, and how diamonds are in a way beautiful in the eyes of men but at the same time harbours in it the evil of men. *hint hint to the ladies =P* For the past 4 days, the living room became my bedroom. Yeah, kind of, basically the main reason being I prefer sleeping under a ceiling fan. I have bed bug bites all over me because my bed had bed bugs. Heh. I must say that this time around, KKB was fun; I had a merry good time, which was much better than expected. Perhaps with the right mix of company and improved state of accommodation, everything seemed to fall into place quite nicely, well, except the part where I was being fooled countless of times by lame-ass word games. Sad to say, I missed a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness Man Utd slaughter and trounce Roma 7-1 in an 8 goal blitz Champions League semi-final match at Old Trafford. Man Utd’s performance was beyond God-like, their best I’d say. All you Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool fans out there, be very afraid, there is certainly more to come. Roma’s trashing at Old Trafford is only the tip of the ice-berg. Heh.

Endo was alright, pretty okay I’d put it. The questions were redundant but nonetheless fairly do-able. The only complain I had was that the time given to us, an hour to answer 9 SAQs and 10 MCQs isn’t exactly sufficient to begin with, what more to check if there are any blank spaces left. Looking forward to Repro though, it’ll be a challenge, something different, alot more to learn which makes it more stressful, hopefully it’s not too bad. I’ll fret about that later, but for now, I shall live my life to the fullest be it shopping or going to the movies or simple yum-cha-ing sessions, I’ll make the most of it. Next week, I’ll be doing my GP posting at a clinic in Kuchai Lama, thank God I found a partner, wouldn’t want to be alone at a family health clinic with 2 doctors looking over my shoulders for an entire week, you know. I just hope I don’t screw up and hurt any patients; it isn’t easy being a medical student when any mistake you make might be your last.

Sigh. I feel a great sense of relief by making it this far in life, you know, living till 20 (think of the young ones dying in war-torn countries), making it to university (some don’t even get an education to start with), being able to do what I like, and as far as things go, I think I’m doing pretty fine, or so I’m told. I thank my lucky stars that everything has gone my way the way I wanted them to, although there may have been a couple of road bumps down the years that I had to deal with, but other than that I’m thankful of what I have. Oh how much things have changed when I was just a kid dreaming of inventing the world’s first flying car, or building the tallest building ever, I even dreamt of emulating Bill Gates. Studying medicine was never my ultimate dream; it was an option but not my first. Heh. There’s still a long way to go before I become the person I aspire to be. At least now, before I shut my eyes and go to bed every night, I know that I have made some difference; no matter how little it might have been, in my life and the life of others. Good night peeps. Sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite! =)
