I am starting to understand what it's like to like someone, but can't be with someone. I am starting to understand why some people remain in unhealthy relationships. I guess I am learning. |
|
Must lower expectations...Why am I always not satisfied. Gosh, I really hate being pissed off all the time. Fk why is this so hard. |
|
Hope this helps..it's not a rule by rule step, more like a general outline.
1. Ring the doorbell
*preparation- dress nice, look decent.
2. Greet the parent/adult, say "HI!" How are you? How is work going?...( Act like you care about the person)
*bonus points-bring things when visiting if you know you will see parent.
*keep smiling and acting nice
3. If the parent says stuff...
4. Act concerned, and give replies as if you care.
5. Don't treat them as strangers/weirdos, cause this will be reflected back at you. Parents will be like, why is he treating me all weird and be weird right back at you.
___________________________________________________
This is similar to how I would do an interview.
1. Act happy and excited
*preparation-act nice, look decent
* Depending on the person, I would say.."Thanks for giving me this opportunity for an interview. I am really interested in this company. I've heard many good things, such as blah blah blah..that you researched. You can also state your background and how this would relate and expand bring up stuff from your CV.
They smile, and like you already.
2. They smile at you, and you smile right back.
3. So the interviewer goes.."Tell me about yourself."
4. Then you go above and beyond on your resume..act like you are happy to tell them, about yourself because YOU ARE...ALL THAT~
5. Then if you struggle with technical questions, remain calm, and just say.."sorry I am a little nervous, can you give me some time?"
6. Then afterwards say, "Thank you for this opportunity to have an interview, I think your company is wonderful and I really hope to get this job.
* Important note- Always act interested and actually care about the person and company.
A+ interviews, right there.
_______________________________________________________
Things to overall not do.
-Look pissed off throughout the interview. You may be nervous, but do not look like you are not happy because the employer will think that you don't want to be there. It is as if you are doing a big favor for them by accepting. So why bother accepting?
-I know what that is like. There was a time where I couldn't even stand seeing you, because you just looked so pissed off. It's like I can't even enjoy playing ping pong anymore. People generally like being in a happy atmosphere.
-Looking grumpy in general is not a very pleasant thing to be around. It's like what the heck did I do to make you look all pissed off. It's like a mirror towards people. People can sense it, and think that you are not a nice person and is always grumpy. And...who wants that?Current Mood:  apathetic |

After watching the movie, I feel as if I understand Michael Jackson a lot better. In a way, I feel bad that I made fun of him and misunderstood him. He's such a talented being. In addition, he's a very calm and patient person. I really wish that I could have gone to his actual concert. |

| » Want to be more involved with religion. |

So there are two groups: 1) group of people that always strive to be good and close to God, 2) people obsessed with worldly things
After meeting people from group 2, I really really want to be with the first group. My dad was talking about how China was like happy hell. I am sure it depends on the place, not all of China is like that. But I surely do not want to live in a place where nothing really matters in life...except happiness. I hate perverted old guys...and basically people that are really sinful and loving it.
I want my life to be of value and worth something. Therefore, I need to strive to be a better person. I need to finish "the normal christian life." Anyways, I am glad I will be an occupational therapist. I should be able to help a lot of people. Maybe when I become really rich, I can donate money to an orphanage or something. Well, I guess one step at a time. I need to go to church more often. I definitely do not want to be associated with the 2nd group.
Note: Everyone is sinful. Sinful may not necessarily mean evil. Sinful is basically means "not on target with what god wants. " For example, you know you shouldn't steal, yet you steal. Anyways, you know what I mean.

1. Try and not criticize people. I feel like this is becoming a habit. Everybody has their good and bad. It's not good to always focus on the bad.
2. Dress better and try to be more neat
3. Try not to yell. It's good to tell how i feel, but try to not purposely hurt.
4. Always be appreciative of people when they are helpful.
5. Try to be more easy going, and not get angry at every little thing.

My personality is not very social. I don't particularly like to hangout with lots of people. But I do like meeting new people and understanding their background, basically figuring them out. I have now come to realize that I dislike very superficial people or people that say sh*t about people they really don't know or understand. In a way, why would it matter if superficial ppl say sh*t about you. Why fret? Why cry? Those people are not your friends and don't care about you..so why do you care about what they think or say? It's silly to take life too seriously.
But I have now realized that I do like quirky people. I like the nerdy/quirky people that are just downright strange and h*lla funny. I feel that a lot of my patients are quirky, even my co-workers from the hospital are quirky too. My boss wears sun glasses in doors, threatens the interns to have to wash his car.
Boss: Hey Alice, I am going to teach you about humility by making you wash my car.
Me: You are the king of humility right?
Boss: Yes, that is I.
Me: Then you should show me by example by washing other peoples cars.
Boss: laughs..
Then there's my other co-workers...aww..Stacy's gone..but yeah she's psycho...Anyways, the quirky kind hearted people are the best. My patient x is also funny too. He walks super fast like a maniac and he's 85 yrs old. I can't keep up w/ him. Anyways, my favorite types of people are the quirky ones :).

So another addition to the story...SOoo my friend took the bus from USC all the way to Cerritos to visit me. Yeah, that's pretty crazy. My dad's out of town so I said that he could stay at his house which is in Norwalk. We checked out the house at night...and it's soooo freakin' scary you don't even know. My dad has never cleaned anything before. He has never cut the grass before. So imagine a home that has tall grass and that's dark, and dusty.
I showed him the empty room where he could stay and there was a huge old dressing table and large mirror across from the bed. Then I unknowingly made things worse, I told him that his closet can tunnel across to the other side of the hallway. Well...this made him really scared. We quickly moved the sofa to block the closest to make sure that nothing would pop out. However we haven't solved the big mirror in front of the bed. He said, "I feel like someone is watching me." I..making things worse said..."someone is watching you." He jumped up and got scared. HAHA..I am so mean..I made him sooo scared. We need to change all the lights too..it's all yellow..makes the place look haunted. Then me making things worse...I told him ghost stories to try and ease his mind. They were funny stories. I felt kinda bad leaving him there. So before i left, I yelled " BYE !!!" while he was walking back and I saw him literally just jump up. Oh man...this boy is just too funny. I have so many stories from him.
Note 1: Towel story
Note 2: Swine Flu: He's so nice, he bought me a swine flu mask ^^

Early in the morning I exploited the free printing at the OT house. I printed 20 copies of my resume and it was still not enough for the career fair. At the career fair, people complimented my name badge and asked if I was already an OT :p. Another thing that really made my day was that all the hirers loved the fact that I had experience working at Rancho Los Amigos...whoohooo! I am so lucky to be able to have first internship there.
Another ecstatic moment today was when I talked to my adviser, she said some awesome stuff. I asked her if I would have a chance at working at my new fieldwork site. She said people don't usually hire level II (first) fieldworkers. It's usually the last level II fieldwork that's important. However, she said that I have a good personality fit with the site and that they may hire me.
She said, " You have a very calm personality, and I think the patients would like that."
In the past she also said that I was very approachable and easy to talk to.
...she is so good at making my day very very enjoyable. How is she able to understand me so well XP! heh..

| » Always Rejoice |
|---|
More and more it's harder to see the bigger picture in life. It's little stresses that really can take a toll on you. But I feel that worrying about that stuff is really useless. You just gotta do what you gotta do. Things are going to happen regardless of how you feel, so it's important to have a clear head. Therefore, gotta put on a smile and take a stroll through life.
Sometimes things are not in our control...
But it's important to always rejoice. Rejoice in everything that I have :) I am reminded of this hymn...
Always rejoice,
Unceasingly pray,
In everything give thanks.
For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus,
The will of God in Christ for you.
Therefore always rejoice, unceasingly pray,
In everything give thanks.
Do not quench the Spirit,
Do not despise prophecies,
Approve all things,
Hold fast to what is good,
Abstain from every kind of evil.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." {Matthew 6:25-34}

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear

Lately I have so much work that I have been forgetting what I prioritize in life, which includes: enjoying life, meeting people, and seeing the beauty of everything. I am always grumpy, and whiny. Lately, I haven't played ping pong for a really long time. I truly enjoy playing ping pong, however, I feel like I have been giving everything up to do homework/for my exams. I guess I should study like crazy (early) and catch a few ping pong times. Sigh, I am so antisocial.
I need a really good vacation...think...Bahama cruise...Caribbean cruise...or even kayaking would be fun. I need to de-stress and relax.
