2 Left Feet....

Ever find yourself in a 2 left feet situation?

The more you are afraid to step on your partner's feet in a dance, the more you tend to step on his/her feet.
The more we worry about the dance movement, the more we would 'ka lang ka bo'...
Its really scary feeling. Not only does it cause anxiety but frustration.

This feeling is like "I must dance properly and get it right this time.." however... the more awareness and pressure you put on yourself..the more likely your 2 left feet will show up!!!

I vented my frustration today...in a 2 left feet situation...
Me being a known-to-be patient person..actually over-reacted.

This kind of frustration reminds me of how bad a driver I was many years back.
Often in the past, when I drove my car into the carpark near my place..I would find myself ended up going up the curb as I try to avoid hitting the other car coming from the other direction at the very narrow turning point.

My worst dream was driving up sharp narrow spirals to go up the carpark...
A little more to the left or right, your car will end up kissing the wall...
Phew....this really causes anxiety and frustration...

In a 2 left feet situation is like-wise.
I was frustrated becuz I really cannot understand why a 'sweet mango can turn sour'.
Mango suppose to be sour in the beginning and sweet when ripe.
How can things which taste so sweet in the beginning will end up being so sour.
This really makes me upset.
I believe communication is the Key. But communication needs time and its a two-way 'thingy'. It can't work when only one side is willing. It takes two hands to clap.

The only thing I can say is, like what Max Weber believe..Individual always interpret the meaning of their own behavior and act according to these interpretations.

(We often reacts to how we interprete certain things we see which most of the time isn't right.)

He believed that Sociology must adopt Verstehen-empathetic understanding the subjects. By putting yourself into another's shoes or situation, then can we gain understanding.

Now Angie here believe that True friendship is like pure gold..its can withstand the test of fire.My bestfriend and I thot we hardly have time for each other nowadays..but our friendship can withstand fire. We know each other so well that most of the time, we know what each other is thinking and how each other will react without even verbal communication.Tho there are times we had our 'angel & half-devil' fight but after that we reconcile, cuz we know and respect our difference. And we stand up for each other even when the whole world doubted us.
This is what Friends are for.

The key to it is TRUST.

Final Destination of Everyone

Money often deceive us, leading us to forget we will die some day. Poor people will die, Rich people will also die.
In the bible, it says to the Rich, today your life will be taken from you, what will happen to the riches you have stored up for yourself.
So be Wise- store up for yourself treasures in heaven which never rot as it has eternal value.
Our stay in this world is but only max. hundred over years..
but compare to life in eternity after death, what seems long here is but only a grain in heaven.

My Zodiac

Angeline's Zodiac Sign - TAURUS

9 may Taureans never slap or sting. Rather, they creep up on you, affect you deeply and leave their indelible impression on your soul. Think of Taurus as a long sensual kiss. A huge tender bear hug. Or an eiderdown on a cold alpine night. Taureans are warm (but sometimes stodgy) customers.

Many Taureans work with their hands. Even if a Taurus is a computer expert and seems more cerebral than manual, nine times out of ten there is a hidden craft or hobby lurking behind the scenes. Taureans enjoy forging beautiful things from natural materials. In fact, they are attracted to all sorts of beauty. Music thrills them. Flowers enchant them. The countryside seduces them. And art is their natural habitat.

Taureans are forever building their own workshops and renovating barns and old churches. They are not only home-loving, they like to get their hands into the cement and slather on the plaster, if only for the tangible joy of playing in the mud.

Taureans do not take kindly to sudden change. They like to be wherever they are supposed to be when it is time to be there. Taureans readily adjust to routine and for that reason make fabulous employees. Precipitous and unexpected events requiring flexibility and resilience may cause Taureans to dig in their hooves and refuse to budge. Bulls are obstinate and determined to hold their ground. It is wiser not to try to talk Taurus out of a sulk. Just let him paw the earth and snort and seethe on his own. Take a tranquilizer and a walk. Soon, when the inevitable becomes blatantly inevitable, Taurus will budge of his own accord, come out of his sulk and go with the flow.

Sensuality belongs to Taurus. Wherever there is pleasure you will find a Taurean plunk in the middle of it all. They love to bask in the "good life." Taureans cannot resist the tug of the opposite sex. When an attractive newcomer arrives on the scene, count on Taurus to see to it that the outsiders have a drink, are made comfortable and have slipped Taurus a telephone number or two.

Taureans are amorous and romantic without being flighty or maudlin. They are tender and don't mind public displays of affection. Love and all of its expressions appeal to the Bull. Taureans can be counted on to stray a bit where sex is concerned, but they never flaunt their infidelities and usually avoid sticky extracurricular entanglements. If you love a Taurus, feed him.
