One Idea 2 Day

Surprisingly this post has taken me quite some time to finish. It’s hard to think about what to write on topic of degree of patience for a laid back and ignorant person like me. Yeah, but I do felt anger before, who does not?

In fact certain character of people just tickled my nerves, exploding my blood vessels up to my head and usually I choose just to stay away and ignore these people and to greater extend, shutting down my life from them. It does not matter what triggers the anger as I believe every person have different things tickling their nerves.

Just recently I read a quote saying “When you’re frustrated with people, when they’ve made you angry, it just may be because you haven’t give them enough time.“This beautiful advise was taken from the book “The last lecture” by Randy Pauch. Randy actually got this advise from an imagineer at Disney Land by the name of Jon Snoody.  He said although this process takes a long time, eventually people will show their good side and this is someting that will impress and surpass your every thought and expectation of that people.

Enjoy the comic folks!

I admit when it comes to time management, I am not a typical blood A person who are always punctual, never late for anything. I only make sure I am not late if there’s a very important meeting, appointment or an interview so that I am not leaving bad impression that I don’t appreciate their time.

Unlike Love, Money or Reputation if lost you can rebuild and regain over hardship, skill, luck and opportunities, Time is so precious that in my opinion that is the only thing in this world that once it’s gone, nothing you can do to gain it back.  But yet, I am slacking, wasting my time by posting on this insignificant blog. haha. But also maybe, it’s worth the time spent if this blog may change the way we appreciate our time.

Maybe you have heard of this quote over and over again but still I’d like to repeat this again as a gentle reminder for all of us.

It does not matter how long you have spent in life but what you put in it.

For me personally, this serves as a great reminder to not be selfish for spending all my time pursuing career but instead I have to spend my time with my loved ones, my family, friends and people who care about me.

Posted below is the comic related how different blood types thinks differently on time. It’s very funny ’cause it reminds me of one incident which went something like this. I asked my roommate if he wants to have a dinner over the phone, so he agreed and said he was coming straight away. He did not showed up after 30 minutes (can’t believe I waited for that long) so I called again and guess what… He said he just finished bathing and now only leaving the home….Well, that’s my story and I think you could guess what is his blood type easily.

Have you ever feel uncomfortable when a stranger or people you dislike getting too close to you? That’s a personal bubble, a so called invisible bubble surrounding when interacting with people. Interestingly the range of the bubble varies based on many factors like character, place of origin, culture, gender, relationship and so on. People from the city tend to have higher tolerance when a stranger comes into their personal bubble.  An extrovert has a smaller bubble, they tend to talk very closely a person which is of course an introvert find this very offending ‘coz their bubble is much bigger. A couple in a relationship tend to have very small bubble in between. In a country where culture and old tradition is still dominant and practiced like Japan the bubble is bigger than the western countries. But interesting to point out that this invisible bubble seems to diasspear during the mass train commuter in Japan, see this video to get what I mean.

As this post is related to spaces, here I am presenting another comic from realcrazyman. Somehow this image is kinda represent me ‘coz whenever I go to a party I will quickly go to the sides where I can grab the food easily and just eat quietly and hopefuly no one will disrupt the “precious moment” between me and my beloved food. OK, thank God I am not an AB type, maybe that kinda person finds toilet is a perfect hiding place for party. Enjoy the comic!

I personally believe that our personally traits are somehow related to blood types. You don’t, well who cares, it’s my blog anyway.

It’s interesting to point out that blood type science is taken seriously in fields like relationship, health, diet and many more. Have you seen books written by dietitians pointing out which food and veges should be eaten by people with type O, which sports should be avoided by type B and so on? The Japanese takes blood type importance a step further whereby having blood A type gives you higher chance to land a job. They also kinda believe that A won’t go with B, but ok with AB and so on. In fact, this blood type trend started from Japan. (I will do more research on this in near future)

Related to blood type, yesterday I got an email sent by my friend, Donna, which made me LOLZ. The email is a strip comics of different characteristics of people based on their blood type. I found it really funny and interesting mostly on how closely the characters are portrayed by myself and my surrounding friends. So as we was recalling and crosschecking the funny events happened between our friends, Donna found out that there’s missing pieces in the comics so it is incomplete. Luckily the lost comics are found but unlucky for me it’s all in mandarin…. and Donna knows Mandarin (I really have to learn this language). So we decided why not she translate the comic from Mandarin into English and I do the photoshopping.

So after hours of translation and photoshop… I learn something through out this small project. For all those of you who read comic and manga, respect your fansubbers, they really put a lot of time and effort to bring the best translation and put it nicely on that irritating small little balloon box. I am amazed how some words appear like so small portion in mandarin but damn freaking long in English, I modified some balloons to appear larger so it can fit the thing….

Anyway apart from that hours spent, I really enjoyed this comic.  Apart from jokes, it helps to understand how my friends behave in certain situation. Big credit and appreciation goes to realcrazyman, you are one hell of talented Korean manga artist. His sense of humor and the way he explain things are so entertaining. Second credit goes to whateverwebsiteinchinese who translated from Korean to Mandarin. Of course credit to Donna for the email, translation and pointing out the missing strips from the email, this post won’t be here without your contribution. Not to forget my sis, for helping me on the photoshopping, thank you ALL so much.

Here is one of the comics which I can relate especially during my college days. I am one kind of guy who needs my own space when it comes to studying. So hehe, you  guessed what my blood type already… I will post the comic one per day, so you can come visit this blog more often, ENJOY!
