Real Friends

“Friends” is such a loose term. We all have friends. Some have more then others. Some we classify as people we come across in our different life stages. Some we classify as people in our community. Some we classify as true friends. We are comfortable hanging out more with some. We have more things to talk about with some.

My whole life I thought I’m an introvert, did not like talking to new people, did not like trying to be someone i’m not. Subconsciously, I retreated myself into my comfort zone. No one will judge me there, no one will have undue expectations from me, no one will think badly of me of things that I did or did not do.

This comfort zone grew. Slowly I can see similar people in similar comfort zones. People who are real, people whom i’m comfortable to share my comfort zone with. Slowly I come to realise this is my circle of true friends.

I started noticing that there are people who are outside of this circle.

What should i do with them? How should I change myself? Or should I?

Jason Mraz – Beautiful Mess

You’ve got the best of both worlds
You’re the kind of girl who can take down a man then lift him back up again
You are strong but you’re needed, humble but you’re greeted
And based on your body language and shotty cursive I’ve been reading
You’re style is quite selective though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is

And what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don’t mind my nerve you can call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they’re quick and probably have to do with your insecurities
There’s no shame in being crazy, depending on how you take these words
I’m paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging

But it’s a beautiful mess, yes it is
It’s like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blames
And the kind and courteous is a life I’ve heard
But it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are
Here we are

We’re still here

And it’s a beautiful mess, yes it is
It’s like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

And through timeless words and priceless pictures
We’ll fly like birds not of this earth
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that’s no concern when we’re wounded together
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But its nice today, oh the wait was so worth it

Here we are

Microsoft Windows – “I’m a PC”

I got excited when I heard Crispin Porter + Bogusky is thinking for Microsoft especially for the launch of Windows 7.

The video above was added 18 Sep 2008 and at Sep 19 2008 4pm Singapore time it already has 17,626 views.

Can someone verify this is a real campaign ad from CP+B?

I think its brilliant & I look forward to see how the online community will contribute to this very potentially powerful campaign online. I can sooooo see people doing their own version already.

More Mac vs PC conversions in the months to come. :)

ps: i use PC at work, Mac at home and Linux web servers for my website.
