A little help coping with stress

Managing stress is all about taking charge, not merely controlling the situation but rather your emotions, your environment and the way you solve problems. Your main objective is to achieve a balance life with time to play, work and socialize, hence the ability to work under pressure and taking on new challengers face off.

Of course, it is easier said than done. To effectively manage stress, you'll need to identify the causes of your worries, be it in relationship or financial issue. Sure, you understand the constrains of tight deadlines but maybe it is your procrastination that made you feel the way you feel.

So ask yourself these few questions and see whether you match the following:

- Do you associate stress with hard work? (I work better under stress)
- Or perhaps take stress as some temporary, come and go situation.
- Or maybe blame the situation on some one else that may be the root of the problem.

If the three or other excuse matches your description then you should follow the simple instructions below. Remember, stress is no excuse unless you allow it to take the best out of you.

For starters, try writing down the main cause of your stress and be detail on how it affect you emotionally and physically. When you're done with that, jot down your responses towards the problem and the things you did that made you feel better. And when the bad times come again, reveal and follow your past achievements.

Just by doing that, you pass the first stage of stress management and you legally oblige yourself to take responsibility for your own actions hence looking at real solution to cope stress. After all, there's no one we can rely on other than ourselves and books (knowledge).

Remember the old school of thoughts: Be organized and be early. Most of the time, it is the simple time management that is lacking.

Till then,
Stay stress-free.

Brace yourself for the father of all animation, Doraemon, in an epic, magical adventure in Green Planet with flying baseball caps, time capsule carpet, weird machines and best of all moving plants! Truly an ideal getaway for retro September.

Yes, yes, the show does not display cute and panties flashing romance but who will disavow with the almighty pocket on Doraemon's belly? Everyone would love a good dimensional door to spy on our missus's embarrassing moments, especially with Shizuka Minamoto. In fact, Doraemon can draw out a touch and zap you "small" anytime he wanted to.

But don't worry, Doraemon and his cronies are busy battling their way home from Green Planet for the arrogance of mankind's cruelty to environment.

So save the environment unless you want to see Doraemon die!

Ahhh, just watch your hentai and forget about the cute, blue, ears eaten by rat, cat or whatever.

Motoralla's response to iPhone culture

Sure, everyone loves iPhone and other apple products but if you ask a geek, they'll tell you that Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) phones are much better for wifi, web browsing and data entry, hence value for money.

And if you are a fan of Window's, you'll no doubt enjoy the latest Window Mobile 6.5 that is engineered for your private video viewing (shhh..!) and porn surfing handy when the missus is not around.

In fact, the system is so identical to XP and Vista you won't need shits to master the phone and you can get down to business as soon as you purchase.

But unfortunately nothing is perfect, even amazing firmwares like Window's mobile can freeze and unexpectedly open an intimate video of you and your exes.

But seriously, it isn't the missus that caused the hyped of the iPhone culture. Movies and popular soap operas embeds iCulture to each of the main characters lifestyle, leaving wannabes in grief to follow their footstep, particularly on Gossip Girls.

If you have an iPhone it means you've signed up for some weird Maxis plan or worse, switching your service provider for Maxis. But your glory doesn't end there, in 2 months time, maxis present you with yet another to-die-for iPhone3GS with added features like video recording and MMS. We know that you like to keep memories of your exes but buying again is a huge waste of money.

But then again, it isn't entirely our fault. Advertising and promotion made us the way we are and as cliche as it sound, we can only learn from our mistake.

So why not give the latest Motorola device a chance? Not only will you experience the "new" factor for the next six month but also a compliment of both the functionality of an iPhone and a PDA, how thoughtful...

In fact, the silky back silhouette and sliding keyboard works accordingly to your qwerty keyboard fetish without having to strain your delicate fingers and mark your prints on the screen. Yummy!

Here's a general view of the new android phone.


Your sincerely,
me!

Japan's most breathtaking animation, La Maison en Petits.

Halloween has recently haunt us in our beds but not as daunting as Tsumiki no Ie (2009) (The House of Small Cubes) that looks at several challenging moments in life we once took for granted.

The Oscar winning author, Kondo Kenji, planted his fear of old age in the video and visually narrates the ocean disaster that is yet to come. But what made that clip horrifying is the nostalgia behind the story. It looks at survival in its most basic form and continuously reminded us about the glory of loosing one's love in mother nature's wrath.

Summary:

The old man who struggles in life's most deadliest moment (isolation and loneliness) made his way to the top of the cube, leaving behind his precious memories beneath the depths of the sea. Thus living his few final years in his cherished secluded space called home. He was doing great initially until he drop his favorite pipe to the lower level of his heritage and hesitantly picked it up with the memories of his late wife. As he remain silent for that few seconds, he decides to roam the lower levels of his home to ferret out the life that he once had. Only when he reached rock bottom he realizes the hardship in life and how he managed to beat the others to the top. But still, he embraces what life has to offer and made full use of the remaining happiness harvested around him in the compliments of his inseparable wine glass and freshly grilled tuna (presumably).

Verdict:

So the morale of the story tells you that even the talented is vulnerable to loneliness.

Till then,
Enjoy the clip.
(I hope I'm not spoiling you mofos out there for posting such ingenious clip).

Black and white (it's not Michael Jackson mofos)

If you're into animation and other computerized video design subject then you should see this video. It uses the silhouette of a popular animation Bad Apple, in mostly white and black. Sure the colour choice brings back memories but seriously, the continuous mutation creates that cool vibe for imagination . In fact, the music chosen in the video is so good, you can even dance with it in your girlfriend's panties (damn!). So forgo some girl-next-door peeping session and watch a healthy and addictive video instead, idiot.



Let me know if you have seen similar videos but I'm sure you don't so just F**k Off.
Enjoy the music nonetheless!

Nostalgic movie experience

Golden Screen Cinema (GSC) recently hosted the annual Latin-American film festival with promising Latin movies for four days straight. Among the popular and award winning films are Cronicas, The Good Life and The Snail Strategy. All equally intrigued and meaningful.

Unfortunately, the event was too short and it didn’t really capture the desired movie-goers, aside from being RM 5. In fact, there were almost or no trailer at all for those limited time movies. That means you'll have to risk your time, money and petrol for the movie.

Having said so, I took the risk and bought a pair of tickets to the last session of Cronicas and I was really excited since I traveled all the way to 1U at 1pm for a 7.15pm small cinema movie.

It might be a little crazy since it's only a movie but I'm starting to appreciate foreign shows for its cultural and ethical differences. But still, it was YouTube's trailer that got me hooked to the show.

Despite the anticipation, the trailer (above) was the closest I got to the movie. And sadly, GSC no longer air the show.

Here’s what happened at the GSC 1U.

6.45pm – Rush to Patty’s place (Shit! I might be late.)
7.00pm – Hi baby! (kiss kiss on cheeks, yay!)
7.10pm – Found a car park at 1U and glared the on coming cars with my telepathic "sucker" stare.
7.12pm – Bought lite and sweet pop corn because caramel is distasteful like your morning breath (yuck!)
7.15pm – Ahhh, cinema 5!
7.20pm – Ehh, where’s the advertisements? Where is everyone?
7.25pm – (Honest auntie beside us) Boy! Can you ask them if they are airing the show? Oh ok, right.
7.30pm – Sorry ah! Movie cancel, we will refund your movie and give you free voucher, so sorry!

Even though we didn't get to watch the movie (sadly), GSC staff made sure we went back with full refund and 4 complimentary passes.

And almost instantaneously, we redeemed the next show for rebellion. The gangster flick was intense and gruesome at the same time, good for people who miss Young and Dangerous.

So end of the day, I had my excitement but it was nostalgic at first because the refund and complimentary came as a surprise (at least, to me).

But no matter what, I'm still determined to watch Cronicas but I'm sure it won't just drop from the sky. If you happen to linger in the DVD stall looking at porn DVDs and stumbled over that show, please by all means drop a comment.

Thanks for reading and good bye,
I owe it to your sorry ass.

H1N1 is sooooo underrated

*taken from Google

It looks like any ordinary flu or cold but once H1N1 takes charge, your immune system will fall, following by death. But really, if you think carefully, influenza A and AIDS aren't that different. First, it kills your immune system completely and then it lets you die in the next disease. So if you think you’re fit for AIDS, then don’t bother wearing a mask in the crowded LRT.

So how to protect yourself you might ask? Fear not, I have the solution for you that is neither a hassle nor a penalty to your pocket. Just follow this simple instruction and you're in for a safer and healthier lifestyle.

1. Wash your hands.

2. Cover your cough.

3. Don’t touch your face.

4. Stay away from people who are sick.

And if you’re the victim of the disease, don’t panic. Just get to the nearest Hospital (call someone if you don’t know which) and tell them your problem. Upon consuming the medication, make sure you follow every instruction prescribed by the doctor so you'll stop spreading the disease during your intimate moments.

But trust me, your death isn't the most important issue right now. If the virus mutates to a new level at the account of your death then more people will die.

So the least we can do right now is to defend yourselves against the virus, I mean healthy diet and exercise. After all, we are the smartest creatures alive so when did we fall sick and die on something so small when we can eat snakes and polar bears everyday? Hilarious.

Till then,
Stay healthy and stay safe,
I don’t want to see you on the obituary page.
