Internet domain is always that complicating and dangerous. What to blog, what not to blog. And when you blog, you got to look out for some "police officers" that is out to book a ticket.

Anyway, I watched Here and Now on youtube last night! Someone actually uploaded the whole show! I totally agree with Ellen when she talks about the track in the airport that carries you to the boarding gate! She touched on so many things in our life that we didn't have time to notice and laugh it all out! The movies, the toilet, the airport... and procastinating! Her topic was procastination and indeed she achieved that! She lived up the name of being "The funniest person in America". Besides laughting matters, she touched on something that all of us stuggle with!
Do you know how much time we are spending on wondering what others are thinking of us and what we are thinking of others? Imagine when you're dinning with someone when you suddenly spilled food on yourself. Your first thinking might be "Oh Sxxt!" Then you go on to think what is the others at the table gonna think of what has happened. After that you start to think what is the others who are not at your table going to think. Then once in a while, you will recall the spilling incident no matter how much you are enjoying yourself. Where IN FACT, the others might not be thinking as much as you did! That might not apply to everyone, though.
One day, you are all dressed up and full of confidence. You stepped out of your house door, welcoming the world in your face. As you walked down the familar street, smiling from the inside out... then you missed a step or two and you tripped! You got started and confidence level fell to almost zero. You looked back from your side eye and cushed that little stone that made your tripped or at yourself for missing a step. Then you look at the world again, and tried to explain to yourself that you didn't trip, you were just tired or trying to losen the new shoes that you had on (even though it's not new). After that, you try to recall if anyone has seen you trip. You realise the Uncle at the provision shop saw you! You began to think of excuses of what to say if he ever ask you about what happened just now when you visit his shop in the evening or a week later.
After your day out, you return back on the same old street on the way home. You were smiling, you really had a great day; you enjoyed the movie. Then you pass by the provision shop and decided to buy some snacks. You entered the shop, the Uncle smiled at you. Then fear hit you. "He saw me trip this morning. Is he gonna ask?" Your mind goes wondering. You faked a smile and hurry up grab the things you want. The Uncle at the counter opened his mouth and you thought, "Sxxt", what was that excuses that I thought this morning!?" The Uncle said, "Haven seen you in a while. Busy huh?". You breath a sign of relieve and happily chatted with him. You got your things and stepped out his shop. You welcome the evening in your face, but you forgot there's a step in front of you. You tripped and fell. The uncle rushed out to help you, you got up and said "Hey, it nothing. I was trying to pick up the coin I dropped" You knew he saw you fell right in his face, but you denied it. You walked away, with your confidence level drop to almost zero again.
