I'd like to get away from people who have a tendency to verbal poo. There's a guy at work who does that, as fun as he is, it can be very tiring listening to all that useless info after a while.

Yeah, I noticed you seem to be away for a while FS. And me. You know me. I'll lurk, I'll post, I'll disappear, I'll come back whenever... I get into dips in life and like to come here to crow about it mainly. Gosh there's some names there I haven't seen for a while. I've missed a few from a year

[quote]Haha, I have been the butt of the shunning game before! hahahahahaha. [/quote] Oh the shunning game. Yeah that happen to me a few years ago, in another place of work. For no reason or stupid reason, some will suddenly ignore you. It was really rude. I was young then and didn't understand the whole thing and was quite upset by it. I am guessing the senior just enjoy making a newbie suffer.

Oh dear... I seemed to mis-addressed Tova in my last comment. LOL...the result of having too many tabs open. Thanks Tova, thanks FW for your kind words in return. [quote]See men are so lucky because they can get away with not playing. Take Raven's example. She has to put up with it every single day. The "game" is on while she's at work, and probably when she isn't as well. Guys can just say, "Huh? I didn't notice" But girls.....well everyone knows that's a lie...[/quote]<b

If you are going to make a list, LW, it's going to be a really long list. Here's a recent experience: At my workplace, all the women play games. Unfortunately so do I, just to get along. Nobody can be trusted. And sadly, not even those who seem sincere. I was just stupid enough to get burn recently and I promise myself I will never want to get close to another colleague again, especially a female. My blog has some details of the incident. In short, Colleague A had gott

I always give a firm handshake grip without squeezing, looking people in eyes as I greet them. I think it's the most important is what is one the person's face -- are they smiling or looking at you. Some people seem ever eager to leave, looking elsewhere within that few milliseconds of a shake. It gives me the impression of being insincere or as if they being forced to shake hands. Women tend not to give very firm handshakes, in some cases th

I do agree with the view that limiting the number of moves they can remember is the challenge factor. Perhaps the designers feel the same way. You have 4 instead of a longer list of moves to choose from. You need to make a decision when they level up. Why do they do like that? Memory issues? Maybe the monsters aren't suppose to have that capacity to remember. The intelligence lies with the human not with the monsters after all. Maybe Pokemon's greatest

I bought Pokemon Diamond to play on my DS earlier this year. I bought it because I was curious what made it so popular among young gamers and why it's a best seller. As much as the game is easy to grasp, the challenge lies in attempting to collect every single Pokemon (a little less than 500 of them) and beating the many wandering and boss characters' Pokemo

That's cool. I don't think I'll get to see Mars. The skies are usually too bright in Singapore for stars and planets, and it's been cloudy and rainy these nights. I just wanted to drop by and wish a Merry Christmas to you, FS!

From a completely outsiders point of view, it's not that hard to pick up either accents. I suppose British accent sounds grander or more sophisticated, they have such airs and they think their pronunciation of words is the absolutely correct one. If you stay anywhere long enough you can pick up either accent but you can always revert to your original local one soon enough. Most of my friends who went overseas for higher degrees came back with

Feel free to scream. That's what I use this place for. (((HUGS))) Sometimes, looking at the stuff that bothers you in the eye and calling the monsters out helps. Teenagers always have to test the boundaries not matter how big the land you give them I guess. Sounds like a lot of what you worry hasn't happened yet and are just "what-ifs", the only thing is she seems to have made up her mind. Girl has got to live her life sooner or later, but now she still got you. If you two had been clos

Especially bad shit always seem to happen when one tries to have a stress-free day, like when you're on your last hair, it's like Murphy's law or something.

It depends. Maybe if I'm an gifted artist of grand repute for my works, and earn my living without having to go to work for other people, it might be ok to put designs on my face. But other than that, all it will do is create difficulties for me. No I wouldn't want to draw on my face. I don't really like large tattoos although some of them are cool; if I ever get one, it will be something the size of a palm at most.

I'd like to say that I can trust a person with certain things and not when it comes to other things. But come to think of it, I have to say, if a person is proven unworthy of trust, it is just difficult to trust them in other areas.

I've been busy with writing and games. They always release good games during the summer and christmas seasons. Of course we don't have summer here in the equator but it's still the hottest time of the year. It's not so much the heat as the humidity around here. As to the poetry stuff, I'm working on some for a national poetry competition.

I like to read, sci-fi/fantasy stuff mainly. Lately I've begun to develop an interest collecting graphic novels.
