Relationships....


Relationships are fascinating. You meet someone, completely fall head over heels, then you think you love them, so you get into a relationship and then you feel like you have been trapped in a prison.


I find it ironic that people jump from one relationship to the next within a mere two weeks. How is that even logistically possible to get to know someone else, get serious, and then actually like them for who they are and then get into a solid relationship again so quickly.

I believe that people are obsessed with the concept of love more than they are obsessed with getting to know someone for who they are. There is so much pressure from all aspects of life to find someone and settle down. And that’s not a bad thing by any means, but it becomes pointless when you do it for the sake of it.

And that's why there are so many people on anti-depression pills. Because they rely solely on someone else's company to fulfill their needs or desires without learning how to be independent.

Love is about learning to be independent in a dependent situation. Isn’t that what a successful marriage or relationships is all about? And if you are not ready for it, then why rush? Just have fun and get to know yourself in the meantime!

Respect!!!



One day, I was going to work when something happened on the road. A foreign laborer was parking a car in a parking zone and he was taking it slowly in oder to be careful. I saw two Maldivian girls walking really fast and squeeze between a parked truck and the car being parked. The guy in the car slammed the brakes right on time or else the second girl would have been hurt. Guess what? The girl walked up the car door and the guy in the seat said sorry. But the girl screamed at the guy saying that he should go back to where he came from and she even cursed the guy a thousand times before spitting at the rear window and buzzing off. I was shocked for a moment. But I continued to walk and just caught the 2:10pm ferry to the airport. In the ferry, a Maldivian guy refused to pay saying that the ferry left late. Funny thing was the guy stepped in just before me. He was shouting at the guy, saying that this is not your home and if you ask me again I will hit you...stuff like that. The guy in the ferry was like frozen for five minutes before he withdrew and told the captain. Since the captain was a Maldivian too, he was able to solve the problem with a bit of arguing. Later that day I went for a coffee with a girl who "used" to work at our site with me. We were served by a Maldivian waiter. He brought us two Nescafe's and I started sipping it happily. But, my companion was not happy. She asked the waiter to change the coffee to something else. She send him back like five times and still wasn't happy with what he brought. She started screaming like it was an episode of a television drama or something. I was really embarrassed. She stood up and stormed out of the place. The waiter stood there shocked, the others there were looking in my direction. I slowly shook my head and got up, paid a 100 bucks and asked the guy to keep the change for himself. The least I could do to apologize.

You know, we should treat people with respect and kindness. People make mistakes because we are human beings. It doesn't matter if we are dark or fair, if we are from different ethnicities, if we are from different countries or even if we work at different levels. Do we like it when people criticize our mistakes in a rude way? Do we like being spoken rudely to? Do we like being shouted at or being embarrassed infront of a whole crowd..? Are we perfect in everything we do? Think about these things before you say something to someone. Sometimes we shout at people blindly when the fault is ours, and we do feel bad about it once we realize it. Most laborers are foreigners, they are far away from their homes trying to earn something and we must welcome them warmly rather than treating them like if they were aliens. Why do we have to bring foreigners in the first place? Because some of us aren't cut out for the jobs they do or should I say some of us don't want to attend some of those jobs...We are all humans, all flesh and blood. If you want someone to learn from you, you should be an example to them and if you think you deserve to be respected, well then I've got two words for ya, Respect Others!!!!

Fear the BUTT!!!

I met this new dude in the airport. The guy is cool and man hes a laugh. One day, last Thursday we got this really long break, so he dropped by and as usual we were talking about stuff when the topic changed to feared stuff. Well, I told him that I don't fear stuff you can see from your eyes and that has a life ;) Guess what he told me? He said his worst fear was cigarette butts! And specially if they were wet! He said he doesn't know why, but he just gets scared! When he used to be in junior school, they kept two cigarette butts on either side of him if he didn't study. When they did, he'd tremble from head to foot and study. His friends once soaked a bucket full of cigarettes and poured it over him and he fainted before the first one hit his head! He also said that his dreams were interfered with cigarette butts! The beautiful girls changed into cigarette butts with bikinis and they would fly after him and he flies away from them. He said he fears them so much that he would run around in his house flying in his sleep. One day, he said his grandma actually hit him with her walking stick and he fell to the floor, didn't wake up and continued his flying motion on the ground. Imagine what his grandma would think when she saw her grandson swimming on the floor with loose boxer shorts!!! Damn, we laughed our butts off that day....Just thought I'd let you guys in on the fun...
