This world has some amazing people - are you one o
This world has so many beautiful people but I find that we don't show enough appreciation for them that they deserve or that maybe we do but we're still not doing enough ourselves to be like these people...because we should. It often ends with me upset and thinking that I'm not doing enough to help those who need it or that I'm not doing enough to be more helpful. I've been thinking about this a lot a week ago. I was listening to this particular song which is dedicated to a Doctor in HK, who tirelessly helped people during the beginning of the SARS outbreak in Asia. She died almost a week later but it was her efforts in helping despite knowing that she was going to die which really touched me.
It's upsetting but it's also a wake up call to a lot of people that there are more important things to life than we all have been led to believe. If you wouldn't mind writing out some real life stories of amazing people I would greatly appreciate it - I'm not in the best of moods.
This thread is pretty serious and I know that's asking for a lot but if you have any sarcastic comments that really don't need to be made or one-liners, don't bother replying. I don't really have patience or the time for those people.
Hey ~
I haven't seen you for a long time
Yeah, it's been a long time ~
A long, long time...
How are you doing? ~
I'm doing fine, yeah. You're looking great, you know.
Well, you look good, too ~
So...you're still with her?
Yeah...I'm still with her ~
That's cool... I'm happy to see you
Good to see you too ~
I've been asked to go out with a bunch of people I
Arhhhh,
I've been asked to go out by a bunch of people on Wednesday to a Restaurant who I know don't even like me. They only asked me out so that I wouldn't feel left out (it's a bunch of people in my Law School group and it would seem strange not to invite one person out of the group). What's even worse is that they're all going out after my Civil Litigation class so I have no excuses. The previous time, I said I made an excuse but they then rescheduled it because a lot of us were "busy".
I think I'm going to cancel again. I'd rather go out with a bunch of people who actually enjoy my company.
I've always had a habit of making friends with people not in my group. It's getting a bit of a pain - the friends that I have are all spread around. My current group, I feel, are somewhat prejudicial to Chinese people. I can sense from their tone that they don't even like me and I don't even know what I've done!
I've had a few comments about me coming back to UG. Basically, I'm back for the Christmas Holidays up until the end of December when I'll be leaving again. It's good to be back on UG after a year away but I can't say that I'm missing a whole lot in the PIT except some of the UGers who I frequently talk to. I'm sure most of you would agree that the ridiculous rating in the Pit is averaging well over 100% since last year.
All is forgiven.
Thank you for the welcome back you guys. Here's some news:
1. Koi alright?
Yeah - hibernating since October so there's nothing to be done at the moment.
2. Law School?
Tough, it's making me cry. Say no more.
3. Do you still hate Western music?
Yes and it won't change or very unlikely to change. I haven't listened to Western music in over 1 and a half years and I really couldn't give a damn about guitars anymore. I'm more into melody and could care less about technique.
4. So what music do you like?
I like Chinese music (C-pop). I started out liking Chinese music from the beginning and then gradually got into guitars through the conventional way of listening to poprock bands into more technical stuff but I find that too dull for my liking now. Personally, Chinese pop music carries an emotional feeling that I can't seem to attach with anything else anymore. I can't really explain it.
5. Anything amazing that has happened during the year?
Time will only tell before I can truly reveal anything
6. What do you make of the recession?!
I have no clue about finance so I'm not going to even bother trying to criticise what the governments are or are not doing. I am not educated in finance and neither are a lot of you. So essentially, what I'm saying is - don't speak your views on a topic you have no idea of.
7. What did you make of the PIT on your return?
I swear the English education rate goes down with UG each year. Since I've been back I'm having so much difficulty comprehending what each thread is saying. When other people reply, it makes me feel even more dumb that I was not able to grasp the meaning in the first place. Maybe it's just me or rather the fact that I've strayed away from UG for a long time that I'm unable to cope with the assumptions that you must fill your head with at the start of reading each thread; namely:
That almost every UGer has no brains and will do stupid things just for laughs
That almost every UGer is more interested in sex and nothing else
That almost every UGer has some sick fantasy of killing
- I want that special person - I want the grades to pass Law School by next year, June - I want good fortune for 2010 - I want a straight-forward legal career path that is both financially secure and satisfactory - I want an actual Christmas Tree this year and not some pathetic tree made from a grape vine that I always make - I want more confidence for 2010 - I want to be happier next year - I want Kelly to find some standing because she needs it - I want Anne to make peace with her bf - I want Natasha to be more confident with herself and her decisions - I want my youngest sister to find her dream career - I want my other sister to settle down - I want the world to start looking more optimistic again
Hi. This is more of a last Thank You to the UGers who I've talked to through my 5 years here. It's about time that I've left for good - I remember the last time I said that but it never worked out due to my guitar-ing interests - but this time it's for good because I see no reason why I should stay on a guitar forum anymore . I'm sure a lot of you are aware of the thread I made several weeks ago about how I couldn't find inspiration from guitar anymore and taking Nilpferdkoenig's comments, I really don't belong here anymore , even if it is the PIT.
I'll be enrolling in Law School next month, hopefully, so that's a even bigger incenstive for me to leave, especially if it's costing me £11,500 for barely a whole year to study excluding accommodation and living costs . It's not like Hotel California because I'm forced, in a way, this time - it's different and it's not like University anymore - more like a professional job that requires the utmost attention. It's not such a rash decision to move because I've always contemplated this day for a few years now. The last time I "left" UG was during university although I don't think I thought it through that time because there were times where I did find some spare time to troll around here because it serves as a perfect way to prcrastinate. It's very different now because I'm dealing with huge sums of money and I really can't afford to fail.
Moreover, I feel that the PIT is a little different than it used to be - not in a negative way but I definitely feel a lot older than the average PIT posts suggest that I don't find it inspiring anymore. The time is right I think for me to leave. I'm going to ask for a permaban so this will probably be the last you will hear of me, most definitely, unless you've got my msn address (I reserve that for a small amount of people, so if I reject you, don't take offence to it).
Here's a of my favourite UGers and I'm sorry if I left you out but I'm reserving it for those who I regularly speak to in no specific order. Oh - to those UGers who I didn't add on my profile, my appolgies . I hardly ever check them and that's because I don't like to add people and reply with a small message. I like to reply with a person message and unfortunately, I just couldn't keep up with it or find the time to write detailed messages to everyone - so I just didn't check them.
So far so good? Life is looking up and my Zodiac forecast suggests that my career is about to lift and even though I'm not particularly superstitious, I'm definitely hoping it's true !
So - don't foget to work you ass off whatever you're doing if you want your dreams to come true.
- Always work hard and don't anything for granted such as an abundance of resources that you have at your leisure. Hopefully everything will pan out well for you. If you're in education and have the resources, don't take that for granted. Stay up until university unless you're completely sure you won't need it because you've got a backup apprenticeship plan or similar. Often, drop outs have no qualifications so don't quit just because you can. University usually doubles your chances at success in employment and although education isn't everything, it certainly is worth the investment.
- Always be nice to everyone and treat anyone properly with due care and courtesy. If you end up in arguments with people you know, don't start fights but try to resolve things in a diplomatic way: be a little more open to other people's feelings. If it's not possible to resolve, just leave mutually and take pity. The world doesn't need anymore fighting for ridiculously petty things. This is in response to many of the revenge threads on UG. You're not 11 anymore so start thinking like an adult.
- For birthdays and christmas's don't ask for ridiculously expensive gifts. It might be Western culture to receive gifts but your parents can all do with a bit of a break. Ask for something you need next time like a new rucksack for highschool or shoes that are falling apart. In most cases, you really don't need that new guitar or amplifier. If you're parents insist, then so be it, but if you have the choice, just think of someone other than yourself for a change. I always ask people to wish good things for me and there's nothing better than wishing for something intangible such as good fortune with exams.
- The 21st century has brought new ideologies and ways of thinking but you must still act civilized. As a last plea - please stop with rape jokes and I cum blood memes. It's just not funny. I've got into a lot of flame wars with a lot of people on here due to my inability to take jokes as they are but my culture is different to most of you here (I won't name the particular situations involved but a lot of you will know already). Irrespective of cultures actually, it cannot be viewed as civilized. No girl will ever see it as funny.
- Stay optimistic on your goals and don't let anyone bring you down. No one has the right to make you feel bad if you've done nothing wrong. It's time to stop taking people's unnecessary comments seriously beucase you don't need it. Don't let it get to you. Don't judge people for bad things that they have done to you because their upbringing was unfortunate. It's best to not question it and feel sorry for them - they really mean you no harm.
- If there's something wrong with you - go to the Doctor, don't make a thread about it. 99.9% of us aren't qualified to medically diagnose you on the internet. - If you've found a rubbish guitar player on Youtube, no one gives a damn. Some people just aren't as good as other people - so what?
- Don't artist bash - again, no one gives a damn. I remember someone made a gif of crosshairs being put on the Jonas Brothers - God, how much time he had...
- If you need help on your homework, don't ask UG. They might know the answer to your math or science problem but ultimately, that's what teachers are for - use them. If you didn't do your homework that's due in the day after that's your own fault. When you get a job, pressure is going to be a hundred times as bad so if you can't cope at a highschool level, you may as well call yourself a failure (subject to those with learning difficulties but in any case, ask your teacher for help not UG)
Here is a list of my List of Favourite UGers, in no particular reference. I reserve the right to edit out the list. I'm sorry if I didn't include you but I'm trying to limit the list only to those who I've talked to quite a bit on the forums - a lot have disappeared like the 2004 regulars . A star means an extra special UG mate.
Somehow everything comes with an expiry date.Swordfish expires.Meat sauce expires.Even cling-film expires.Somehow i’m curious about that…Is there anything in the world which doesn’t?
Did i leave the tap running…or is the apartment getting more tearful?I always thought it would cope okay.Didn’t expect it to cry so much.When people cry…they can dry their eyes with tissues.But when an apartment cries…it takes a lot to mop it up.
我们最接近的时候，我跟她之间的距离只有0.01公分。57个小时之后，我爱上了这个女人。
This was the closest we ever got.Just 0.01 of a centimeter between us.But 57 hours later…I fell in love with this woman.
如果记忆也是一个罐头的话，我希望这罐罐头不会过期；如果一定要加一个日子的话，我希望它是一万年。
If memories could be canned,would they also have expiry dates?If so,i hope they last for centuries.
她走了以后，家里很多东西都很伤心。每天晚上，我都要安慰他们才能睡觉。
Since she left,everything in the flat is sad.Everything needed lulling to sleep.
