30 Days Writing Challenge: Day 6

Five Ways to Win My Heart!

Oh gosh... I feel like exposing my self!
Why should I write about this?

Actually, my heart is wide open. It's just hard to get deeper, but easy to win.

Anyway, here's five ways I think people can win my heart..

5 Praise me, appreciate me
I'm lack of appreciation and recognition, mostly because I've done nothing to deserve it anyway. Lol!
But seriously, I love to be appreciated and praised. My moon is in Leo, which means I am actually a Leo. My pride is higher than the tax in developed countries.
It's nice when guys tell me that I'm pretty, but I really love it when people tell me that I'm smart, or funny, or unique, or talented. It's nice when people appreciate my artworks or saying they're amused by my articles, they love my articles, something like that.
Have you watched 'Mother'? Well, I'm kinda like Javier Bardem's character.

4 Puppy
What kinda woman wouldn't melt if someone bring her a puppy, or even just show a puppy picture? Oh! Puppies are the best!
But actually, it's not just puppy. Even though I am not an animal lover myself (not hate, just you know...), animal lovers always win my heart. I have things for the ones who really take a good care of animals, especially dogs. I mean... it needs a huuuge patience and a lot of love. And animals are honest. You can pretend to love kids or elderly, but you can't pretend to love animals because animals can tell if you're pretending.

3 Food
Bring me my favourite food, cook for me, buy me some snacks and junk food... Yep, if you win my mouth and stomach, you win my heart. That's the easiest way I guess.

2 Get closed and connected with my family
My sister, brother, dad, and mom mean everything to me. They're the four people I really care about. So if they like you and enjoy your companion, I instantly like you. You win my heart. That's why I love my brother's wife and my sister's fiancé. They make my siblings happy, they become my own siblings.

1 Intellectual conversation
Not that I'm intelligent myself. You do realize that you don't have to be extremely smart to be a sapiosexual, right? I'm not a smart or knowledgeable person, so people who are smart and full of knowledge always win my heart. I love talking to such people because I can always learn a lot of new, interesting things! They also inspire me, give me beautiful ideas, and trigger my intelligence and creativity. I love talking about many things, especially life and human nature. And I feel so lucky that I've met some highly intelligent people that have amused me with all our interesting conversations. Talking to them is never boring and the conversations are usually endless. Well, I just hope that they enjoy the conversations as well.


So, there, five ways to win my heart.

Five Places I Want to Visit

Friday, January 12, 2018

Day 5:

The challenge of the day is... List five places I wanna visit!

How specific should I be about the places? Because if I had to be very specific, all the top 5 would all be in Italy, and if I had to be even more specific, 3 of 5 would be in Toscana.

Anyway, here's the list (will edit later because it's late):

5 South America

4 Mongolia

3 France

2 Greece: Meteora, Crete

1 Italy: Each province of it

The One Inspired Me Most Recently

Thursday, January 11, 2018

30 Days Writing Challenge: Day 4

Okay, for the challenge today, I'm gonna have to write about someone who inspires me.

There are so many people who have inspired me. Some of them are the people around me, some are inspiring people I met by chance, and some are famous people and celebrities.

But today, I'll write about J. D. Salinger. He just became my inspiration lately. I mean, J. D. Salinger is a legend. Everyone knows him. I've known his name. I've known the famous 'Catcher in the Rye'. But I've never read the book and never read about him before.

Then I watched that movie, 'Rebel in the Rye', and I got so inspired. His struggle to be a professional writer really touched me.

More than that, I can totally relate with him. He was a lousy student, mostly because his lack of focus. He got bored so easily, he was also a rebel, he dropped out from some majors. He was anti-social, that anti-social he couldn't even maintain a relationship. And he was so passionate about writing.

I mean, yeah I'm sure he's not the only writer, or genius creator that was a rebel, eccentric, and anti-social. But because I just watched that movie recently, Salinger inspired me most recently.

So, if not J. D. Salinger himself, maybe the movie 'Rebel in the Rye' that has inspired me, or Whit Burnett, as the most influential person in Salinger's path to be a legendary writer.

I got so many important lessons in writing. And now I'm looking for the book 'Catcher in the Rye'. I really need to read that book.

In Order to Put Everything in Order

My Real Top 3 Pet Peeves

Okay, yesterday I was writing in panic mode. I was so emotional and I was in my worst mood. Everytime I got really sick I turned into the meanest person on earth. Is that the real me? Is that my true color? I don't know. Maybe.

But now that I feel so much better, I feel so much better too about my life and people around me. I don't really hate people as I did yesterday.

So, my top 3 Pet Peeves are...

1. Dumb religious beliefs

No offense, but seriously? Some people really think that showing some stupid, non sense stories can make others want to convert to their religion?
For example, my mom really believes that, if people stopped walking around the Kabah, the world would stop rotating. I don't care what she believes, but sharing it to others in order to 'proof' that her religion is the true religion? That's just plain dumb. I don't think it was wrong, I just find it highly irritating.

2. Double Standard
Ugh! And there are too many kind of double standards everywhere! Where should I start?
For starter, I really hate home-wrecker haters, mostly women. So many dumb women hate home-wrecker, but don't hate the cheater. That's just plain dumb and irrational. So many women forgive their husband/boyfriend/partner/whatsoever for cheating on them, but will never stop hating the other women.

What else? Sexual harassment. People are already extremely aware of sexual harassment towards women, even to the tiniest, slightiest forms of harassment they can be extremely sensitive. But men are also being harassed all the time and nobody cares. Do we all really believe that all men are always happy and open to any sexual thing from women? Do you really think that men can't be raped? Oh yeah, we make fun of male rape victim.

Values in society. Some women hate men for being all about physical appearance, while they're trying so hard to fulfill that stupid physical appearance standard anyway. Yet, they want rich man with steady job and financial security.
So do men hate materialistic women, but they think that if they're rich, they can get any woman. And they also want pretty women. Ugh! Women, if you want a man for his money, don't complain about men wanting you for your beauty. And men, if you want a woman for her beauty, don't complain about them being materialistic. Deal with it.
Yeah there are too many double standards. I'll just stop now.

3. Broken Pattern
Or maybe the OCD I have is the pet peeve itself.

I always want to put everything in order. In fact, I've done a lot more thing than I should, in order to put everything in order.

Top Three Pet Peeves

Day 3:

I should have written this yesterday, but I got sick! I'm sick, and when I'm sick, I become a patientzila. I always have a very bad mood, and I show my true color. So, get ready to hate me in 3..., 2..., 1!

Day 3: What are your top 3 pet peeves?

Death. Diseases. Some people.

Death. I fucking hate death!
Diseases! I hate diseases!
And there are so many of them. Too many of them!

Fuck people who create diseases!

Fuck all the animals who bring diseases!

Fuck all the people who gave me diseases!

Right now I realize, all I ever wanted in life is being healthy and live forever. I want eternity. If I die, I'm gonna be so pissed! I've done nothing in my life! I've been no where! I've been trying so hard pleasing people because I thought I care about them. But you know what? It turned out that I don't. I just realized it now that I'm fucking ill.

I don't care about anyone but me! I know it sounds so selfish and mean, but trust me, the only reason you care about anyone in your life, is because you care so much about yourself in the first place. You don't wanna lose them, you don't wanna see them in pain, you wanna think that, when they die, they go to a better place. It's all about you! You need them to keep you alive!
I don't wanna die.

No, it's not cancer btw. I just caught a cold actually. But there's this fucking diphtheria epidemic surrounding my hometown. And I became very paranoid about it. I become paranoid about a simple cold!

I mean.... People are fucking dying! And I am freaking out. If I die, I wouldn't be happy. I wouldn't be in the better place. I'd be crying over living in this shit hole instead of the paradise on earth I've always wanted to live in.

I'm so scared!

Three days ago my mom kinda left me in a house with someone who probably had diphtheria. I just got the vaccine. But I just found out that vaccine needs days to start working. Wtf!?

And now I'm sick. How am I not worried?

Please don't kill me God! I hate my life! But let me just live a different life! Give me another chance to do everything differently!

Okay now chill. I'm not gonna die.
I'll heal. I'll live. I'll write another story.

Some Unforgettable Words

Monday, January 8, 2018

Day 2 of the 30 Days Writing Challenge.

And... the challenge of the day is....

"Write something that someone told you about yourself that you never forget!"

Should it be positive or negative? Okay, I'll just go with the positive one.

But on the second thought, it would sound like I was showing off. So, maybe I'll find something negative that turned out to have a positive effect on me.

(After hours of other activities)

Okay, today's challenge is more difficult than I thought. But I decided to write this one:

I really like this old friend of mine, and now I miss her terribly. I used to write articles that make people text me and compliment me for my thoughts or the way I write. I used to. Now I don't do it anymore and it makes me sad sometimes, including now that I have to think about it.

Anyway, this friend is one of those people who like to read my blog and compliment me all the time. She told me that my articles are smart and very amusing, and other beautiful compliments. I don't know how to say this without sounding like a snob, but, she's (or was) not the only one.

But what makes it unforgettable is, she herself is one of the smartest people I know in person. We went to the same university and were in the same class before I changed my major. She was the smartest student in our class. I really like her.

So, you probably get curious and check my older posts right away, or probably not. If you do, you probably think, "Which articles are so great, again?"

Yeah, they're not that great actually. If it was, I wouldn't be here. I would've been so rich and famous and I'd probably control the world.

But, whether it was really great or not, I'm not the kinda person who forgets easily such appreciations. I love being appreciated. Apparently, it doesn't automatically makes me more productive, but I still love the feeling.

10 Things That Make Me Really Happy

Sunday, January 7, 2018

So my sister gave me this ’30 Day Writing Challenge’, and the first day challenge is….

“LIST 10 THINGS THAT MAKE YOU REALLY HAPPY”

Okay, so… My wise friend told me once; there are only two things in the world that give a human true happiness: to give and to be trusted.

But I’m not there yet. For now, here are the 10 things that make me happy:

10 Dogs

I can’t say I’m an animal lover—or even dog lover if it means I have to take care of it—but dogs make me happy. They are the best creature I’ve ever seen! All dogs are incredibly cute, beautiful, and adorable! They are angels, really.

9 Sports game

Especially football (soccer, but I’d love to play American football too), but any other sports game would do. I love to play, not to watch, because I don’t like to watch. I love to be watched instead, even if I suck, playing is still better than watching. Especially when I watch my favorite football team, I usually get too attached emotionally and it ruins my mood for no reason. I hate it.

8 Books

I don’t read many books. I don’t read often, because I don’t have enough time. But I love books. Just being in a library or a bookstore makes me so happy. I’m surrounded by so many interesting books that I’d definitely read if I had the time.

7 Traveling

I prefer to do it alone, but to travel with my family is awesome too. I love to travel to other countries with completely different culture with mine. I love to travel to countries with languages I’ve learned, interact with the locals, and get them awed with my ability to speak in their tongue, even though I actually suck at it. That’s one of the best feelings. Especially the Europeans, they are mostly very appreciative.

6 Food

Pizza, olive, assorted cheese, fresh salmon, fresh oyster, creamy desserts…

I know some people would say, “It’s just food, it’s not love,” but for me, “It’s just love, not food,” makes more sense. I mean, love is beautiful. I love love. But honestly, who can live without food? Come on!

5 Learning

I love to learn about a lot of new things. Mind the ‘new’. It means I love it when it’s new for me. When I’ve learned it for a while, I got bored and move to the other things to learn. What have I learned by the way? Well, I’ve learned eight foreign languages, and speak none of them properly. Lol! I learned about philosophy, astronomy, psychology, sociology, the history of human, of language, of arts, of football, of fashion, of… yeah you name it, and now have forgotten most of them. Who cares? It makes me happy.

4 Writing

I’ve always loved to write. It’s the best thing to do in the world. It makes me happy to share whatever I thought, even if it would sound so dumb and ridiculous the very next day. I’m pretty expressive. I love to express whatever I feel, think, or dream about. I love to write stories and ideas. I used to write teen-series that were popular among my junior high and high school friends. And if I wanna be really honest, if I don’t have to think about making money, I’d love to be a writer. I mean, yeah some famous writers are extremely rich. But I don’t wanna write, being worried about whether my books would make money or not. I wanna just write because it makes me really happy.

3 The internet

Well, I don’t even have to explain, do I?

2 My inner circle

I love spending time with my sister and brother and their partners, my dad and mom, my cousins, some of my aunts and uncles, and my close friends (I have plenty). They’re so fun, awesome, and some of them are actually wise and inspiring. I won’t say I’d take a bullet for them, but trust me, they’re important enough to be put in number 2 in my sources of happiness list.

PS. No, romantic partner is not one of them. They’re like kids or animals: it’s fun to play with others’, but not so fun to have your own because you need to take care of it.

Because…

1 Me time

As much as I love the people I mentioned in number 2, I mostly love to be alone: watching movies or TV series, eat junk food, reading, making artworks, writing, listening to my music, singing it out loud, contemplating about life, taking a nice, warm, bubble bath, or even just doing useless thing like checking on social media. I still need people. As most people, I can’t live alone. But, me time is the best thing in the world, don’t you agree?

Okay, those are the 10 things that make me happy. There are a lot of things actually, but either they didn’t make it to the top 10, or I just forgot them. Anyway, see you in the next post.
