Part 2 - The Balanced COMMUNICATION

Well, hello people. It's been awhile a really long while. I know I'm not much of a blogger. Not even that active.. My attention flies elsewhere every time. So oh well, here we go with Part 2 of my Socializing Guide.

Part 2
Communication Is A Two Way Process. <<<< Get IT??
Two way process meaning, you have to contribute your so does your partner.
Example:
Communication Is A Two Way Process.
I talk, you talk = good conversation
I talk, you don't = awkward silence



If I do the talking most of the time...and can't get to know the kind of person you are, what you like to talk about...then, it's pretty pointless cause then there will be total awkward silence...


So there you have it...Once you start talking expect it to be a two way thing. You push I push, you pull I pull, you enjoy I enjoy. Together we get a happy time. Talking that is..not any other stuf. If it is, then that's up to you..not my guide.


Cheers~

Part 1 - The Beginning to Socializing.

Well, hello people. I've been M.I.A for quite a while. Bound to happen with college assignments and work piling up. I can only imagine it getting worse. Anyway, now I'm on sem break! OH JOY!

*rolls on fresh grass and breathe in fresh air*

Ahahaha yeah, the taste of freedom is too sweet to resist. So, what plans have I got for my sem break? Let's see...errr....ahh....hmmm....nothing?  -facepalm- Well, basically not nothing. I went to my college's August intake orientation. Why? Just for the fun of it! To make things livelier.

Here's the thing, there are some people who are born socialists. There are some who are average in socializing, you talk to them they reply in kind. There's the kind that never really speaks out and just go with the flow occasionally saying something. THEN there's the special kind who are silent at first but are hypered up socialists in disguise (me I'm guilty as charged here). Okay...ignoring the first three which are self explanatory, the last well, just give them a few minutes or seconds to get into the mood and WHAM they're full fledge socialist on the loose.

So much crap from me, what brought this up? Err.....well.....cause I noticed a bunch of really shy people. So I've come up with a 3 part socializing guide for you people who are too shy to start the conversation.

Enjoy~~


PART 1 - SOCIALIZING BASICS


Everyone wants to be friendly right? To talk and to mingle? Shyness is a disease. There are two kinds of socializing. FACE-TO-FACE and ONLINE socializing. Here are the points about the two types.

ONLINE
- Easy to talk
-Does not consist of facial expression
-Little or no physical contact
-Wide range of people

FACE-TO-FACE
-Lots of facial expression
-Use of language skills
-Ability to think and respond on the spot.

Yes, pretty much that. confusing? Yes a little I guess. Well, those are just there for formalities. What is the main point here is that in socializing face to face was the pioneer in socializing. SO, to socialize, POINT 1 is to just introduce yourself! Don't care what the other party may think or say later on, at the very least, introduce yourself.

END OF PART 1. Stay tuned for PART 2- The Communication Process. (I'll try to make it fast)

Bon Odori 2011~ Another day to remember~

Hello people! Sorry for going M.I.A for a while. I was busy with lots of stuff. TwT Accelerated semester in college for my first semester is really a killer! Oh well, here's my post on BON ODORI 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been years since I saw an A&W joint, much less ate at one. Brings back nostalgic memories. Anyway, after lunch we then headed to the skating ring. It was great fun and after that, we headed for BON ODORI!!!! HOLY YEA!!!

It was raining at first but stopped soon enough. Everything was great and food was awesome! Enough talk more pictures.





















Great times for all! See you again at BON ODORI 2012!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!

~A Father's Day Memory~

Well, hello people. Hopefully everyone is doing well, what with the weather and environment changing so drastically this past few months. I'm doing pretty well right now in health and everything else.

Anyways, as we all now, Father's Day is here. What do you my dear readers think of your own father? For those who have lost this parent, my condolences to you. For those of you still have the privilege, shouldn't you show your gratitude and appreciation? Here goes to my dad. Something I thought up for him. My dad who is actually the provider in the family.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's to that one man
One who never tires
Here's to that one man
One who provides without fail
Here's to that one man
One who is the provider
This is to my father

Those late nights you came back
Those times you were late for dinner
Those times where you would occasionally sit and chat with me
Those times when you would show me things
Teaching me the lessons of manhood
Teaching me the lessons of growing up
Teaching me all that I should ever know

It's those times I spent with you
I see the wrinkles around your eyes
The white streaks in your greying hair
The tiredness in your eyes
But that smile, fatherly and warming
Smiling even though you were tired

You provided for me
Gave me education
Gave me what I wanted
Gave me what I needed.
Father,

I love you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's to my father, who is the provider of the family. I love you. I appreciate what you have done for me and I will work hard not to disappoint you anymore.

Cheers~

An awesome day spent~

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is bouncing and running at their best system operation. I'm running full mode on hyperactivity. BWAHAHAHA~!

Brain: All systems go! Full mode on hyperactivity!
Body: Sir yes sir!

Yeah, hyper much >_<
Hopefully this will not be permanent. Oh well, what's my story for the day? It's actually about completing a project for presentation. This group is one heck of an awesome team! Team name? "Innocent but Don't Try Us." Yeah, it's a crazily awesome team. We were all going around the whole of Jaya One doing a video. We were all successful till we arrive at Cold Storage. The guy was such a spoilsport by saying, we're suppose to get this approvement and all. Lame ass Oh well, I guess he's just jealous we had so much fun but he's stuck wiping someone's ass butt.  All in all it was an awesome day. We also had lunch with some seniors. Thanks for everything SENIORS!!!!





Yeah, really really great seniors. =D
I just found that I'm under an accelerated semester. The heck....?

Dead tired. This is what I feel about the accelerated semester too.
Innocent but DON'T Try Us!
 So that wraps up a certain percentage of my life in college. Heck YEAH!!!
Cheers~

First weeks always sound fun~

Hello humans! I'm back again with a new post today. How is everyone feeling? Good and jumping I hope. I've seen some posts on FaceBook, people falling ill and all, get more water into your systems YO! (Water is good for health =D) Getting more rest should help to. Anyway, me, how am I? Not bad I might say.

This week concludes the first week of my college classes for the first semester. How was it? Seven letters.
A.W.E.S.O.M.E. Yes, awesome, totally. With the first day being Presentation Skills class followed up by Mass Communication Class and Communication English 103. Yeah, Didn't really "study" much for the first week. Just some of the usual notes and heads up for assessments. Oh and speaking of assessment, my first assessment is coming up this Monday, something to do with presentation. Just....great. So much for a relaxing first week.Oh well, no point grumbling about it. It's quite an easy task actually. So...yeah, BRING IT ON!!!!!

Mass Communication class was slightly more laid back, which is fine to me. Well, it was kind of funny the activity the lecturer planned for us. It was sort of pass a message from one end to the other, and the message (hard to believe but yes) changed. SERIOUSLY. It was like the original message was like "Give a man a fish and he will eat fish for a day, but teach a man to fish and he will eat fish everyday".

It turned into this:
~Teach a man to fish and he will eat fish all day, and drink beer all day, on the boat~
What the Fark HECK!? Where did the BEER come from !??!?!? Holy Macaroni.

Communication English 103 classes was...WEIRD ONE-OF-A-KIND. Instead of studying anything, the lecturer just sent us out on a Scavenger Hunt looking for landmarks and all. (So much for sitting in class and studying, yea right) Spent the whole class searching for things listed in the Hunt Questionnaire and e-mailing the lecturer the answer (Awesome first class, LOL). What makes it even more surprising was that, the moment I opened the e-mail to fill in the answer sheet the lecturer provided, above that was a Facebook notification, saying " 'The Lecturer' wants to be friends". (O.o The heck??)

Yeah, my classes are amazing. BUAHAHAHAHAHAA~
Till next then,
Cheers~

Of Luck and being at the right place at the right time.

HELLO HELLO! I'm back yet again after being missing for a while. What's up and what's new people? Hope it's been good news all around. What about me...? Hmmm, welllll....you see, I've been kinda excited/hyper/overjoyed the past week. Why you ask? That's because, I've already attended my orientation at college. Which college? IACT College. What course? Diploma in Creative Multimedia. Oh yeah, awesomeness. Long story short, we were introduced to some of the seniors, we found out about the clubs, we also explored our campus, and last but not least, had a great time.

At the end of orientation day 2, there was a lucky draw, -crowd gasp- (LOL < Hyper much). Well, seeing as my luck with lucky draws were...not to say hopeless and for want of better term, I would say, not so lucky and....little did I know...that curse unluckiness would be lifted. Okay, so I was sitting there, uninterested and looking around to see which lucky bastard person would win an iPad. As I looked on, the fated hands went in the box and rummaged around. It came back out with a slip. It was as if time slowed down, literally, everyone leaned forward a tiny bit, the person who changed my fate announced, "I have the name here, and his number (mobile no.) is 019..." I was like, HOLY!? There's a tiny chance there, the next three came like a blast, "658". That was when I nearly got a heart attack. Yes, that was ME!!!!!!! I won an iPad from college -hugs iPad- OMG OMG OMG. This was really unexpected.

So yeah, now, I'm having fun with it. Not only that, I just finished my first class today. Presentation skills they call it. Was really really an awesome class. (But so much for awesome, there's an assessment coming right up, dang oTL)

Yes, it's been a blast of a week. Am looking forward to greater weeks.
So, that's all for now folks =D

Cheers~
