Akon featuring Filapine – Rock
Posted by Gallivanter in Music Reviews on 16. Dec, 2009 | 0 Comments
Akon, most people I know find him irritating, but I’m not sure if that’s a deceiver so they do not look like fools as they’re actually closet fans, or they just simply cannot endure his voice. I have a love-hate thing going on with this fella, because half of his tunes I think are purely wish-wash while the [...]
The Conveying of Condolences
Posted by Gallivanter in Life, Thoughts on 02. Dec, 2009 | 17 Comments
“Have patience.” “Please pray.” “Be strong.” Although your intentions are magnanimous, there is a high risk of you appearing as being a callous wise-ass.
Just because you’re close to that person, in whatever way, it doesn’t mean that you have the right to tell the sufferer what to do! That’s just hogwash, because your thoughtlessness of [...]

The Asian Way of Taking The Elevators
Posted by Gallivanter in Thoughts on 18. Aug, 2009 | 15 Comments
There is a reason why there are two arrows on elevator doors, one pointing up and the other pointing down. You go down when the down arrow light goes off, and vice versa.
But some people have taken into riding the elevator the opposite direction of where they intend to go. Why? Well, they are afraid [...]
The Origin of Gossip

Early politicians required feedback from the public to determine what the people considered important. Since there were no telephones, TV’s or radios, the politicians sent their assistants to local taverns, pubs, and bars.
They were told to ‘go sip some ale’ and listen to people’s conversations and political concerns. Many assistants were dispatched at different times. [...]
Can We Survive Without a Mobile Phone?

In this day and age, I don’t think so. What was once a luxury is now a necessity, especially with the current society embracing less morality in return of the animal instincts due to the pressures and competitions within the society.
Those days, before the mid 90s, no one relied on mobile phone. We were all [...]

Very rarely do I share videos on my blog, unless it is a must. In a situation like this, after witnessing their performance, I just had to.
The Voca People is an ensemble of 8 talented musician-actors; 3 female singers that bring the very best female sounds (alt, mezzo, soprano) and 3 male singers (bass, baritone, tenor. [...]
Paying for Bottled Water

Some 10 to 15 years ago, the thought of us paying for bottled water was laughable. I remembered my reaction when seeing bottled waters making its way into the market and thought to myself, WTF?
Fast forward to the current day, bottled water is now some form of necessity given the state of our drinking water. [...]
Working after Retirement

“No one lays on his deathbed wishing he had spent more time at the office.”
How true is that quotation? Once you have retired, do you forget about work totally? Does the body and mind permit you to do that?
I do not believe so as most retirees I know generally miss the working life in and are incessantly finding work [...]
Personal Relationships @ Work – Doomed for Failure

If you think it will work then you’re a nescient buffoon. It is substantiated than if you fall head over heels with someone in the office and would like to have that relationship, it almost always leads to failure.
Unless, one of you quits the company. It’s as simple as that! Unless you’re married before you both joined the [...]
