Koped this from one of my classmates:
'The courage to be.... a fluid process, not a fixed and static entity; a flowing river of change, not a block of solid material; a continually changing constellation of potentialities, not a fixed quantity of traits' -- Carl Rogers
person centered! :D
okay.
so it doesn't work.
hahahahhaa.
but i realized tt it doesn't blue screen as long as i don't go online.
or rather, stay out of facebook for now :\
LOL

To make an attempt to defeat the insurmountable blue screen, i cleared my private data (cache and cookies and temp files), tried not to go on country story ('cos it always goes into blue screen when i'm using country story)... and wanted to restart my comp to install updates to firefox.
yet... the blue screen watered down my attempts and extinguished the efforts.
just when all seemed lost and i was prepared to reformat, i accidentally pressed the power button beside the 'Lock this computer' button..
and...
it started to install 8 updates which were not properly installed previously!
and ~hope has found its place within me~
till now (only 10 mins.. but nevertheless 10 mins!), the blue screen is nowhere to be seen as of yet :D
so it could have been an unstable system caused by incomplete installation of vital updates :D:D:D
praying that the blue screen will continue to be kept at bay!
my blue-screening laptop can really drive me mad.
frustrated at it.

Read this article yesterday while looking for a FSC to refer a family who'll lose their house soon to.
Recently have been talking to parents and parents and more parents..
and it's almost like, out of every 3 parents i meet, 2 will be divorced/have remarried :\
hahaa.
two things i've been advising parents about:
1) Do not suddenly give a lot of freedom to your children when your child reaches adolescent years. Yes, the child will want more freedom, will say things like
'I won't do anything bad outside la. Why you worry for what? Can't you trust me?'
but...
slowly loosen the rein.
make them earn the trust from you :) (e.g. one special day of staying out with friends after school/cca)
set boundaries (e.g. timings for them to return from school by - 1 hr after school ends? -- for sec 1s.)
take care of them :)
especially fathers!
more freedom can be given in sec 3 and sec 4 though :)
2) Communicate openly to your child. Let the child know that you are willing to be a friend to them, to listen to them and to share your expectations with them. Let them know that you want them to communicate their needs to you as well.
Love them.
And be fair among the siblings.
Students have a keen awareness of unfair treatments.
:)
lol.
it's painful to have to ask parents to consider filing for beyond parental control :S

Got this from a blog :) (the person got it from an actual writing from an American dentist in response to an ad which rewards anyone who kills an American or a Canadian :\
"An American or Canadian is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan.
An American or Canadian may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans or Canadians.
American and Canadians are Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America or Canada and they are free to worship as each of them chooses. An American or Canadian is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.
An American or Canadian lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world. The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence or the Canadian Constitution which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness.
An American or Canadian is generous. Americans or Canadians have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return. Americans and Canadians came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!
As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan.
Americans and Canadians welcome the best of everything, the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best services. But they also welcome the least. The national symbol of America, the Statue of Liberty, welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built North America .
Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11, 2001 earning a better life for their families. It's been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.
So you can try to kill an American or Canadian if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself.
Because Americans and Canadians are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American or a Canadian."
I'm not an American.. but i thought it's quite well written! :)

hhahahaa.
I was searching for 'feeling giddy after breakfast', which led to searching for 'how to make work more interesting'.. which led me to these 2 articles...
1) 10 ways to make laziness work for you
2) structured procrastination
And I do agree that procrastination is often a manifestation of perfectionism!
still feeling giddy.

Had a counselling session yesterday!
hahahaha
daidai was my counsellor. hahaa
she needed to do assignment using sfbt (solution focused brief therapy), so she asked me to be her counsellee.
lol.
sfbt will always remind me of stanley.
hmmm.
going through counselling is therapeutic :D regardless of whether it's for an assignment or not. hahahaa.
and it really helped to have the miracle question posed to me! it helped me see things which i missed, and helped me to realize why there was a change in my behaviour.
going through the session as a counsellee also made me realize tt people might not be used to the different things presented using sfbt at first... it took a twice asking of the miracle question before i really realized what it is i really wanted to happen.
