okay. time is fairly short for me to blog as CT is just next wed and it stretches all the way to saturday, consisting of 4 papers. not harping on that right now, allow me to do some quick sharing regarding the "open" concept.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/open1: having no enclosing or confining barrier : accessible on all or nearly all sides 2 a (1): being in a position or adjustment to permit passage : not shut or locked (2): having a barrier (as a door) so adjusted as to allow passage b: having the lips parted c: not buttoned or zipped 3 a: completely free from concealment : exposed to general view or knowledge b: exposed or vulnerable to attack or question : subject c: being an operation or surgical procedure in which an incision is made such that the tissues are fully exposed4 a: not covered with a top, roof, or lid b: having no protective covering

above are the definations of OPEN from merriam webster. i consider them as crap as of today. the open im talking right now might be more applicable to men in general.

being a gentlemen = not just a gentle-man.
i suggest that we do not apply only it on girls; we can show a little of our gentlemen-ness to guys as well, and that has zero suggestion to being GAY.

being man, we are often exposed to disadvantages that we find them simply unfair. i would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to 2 simple phrases.

"being taken advantage of can be a form of benefit"
"fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me"

why being taken advantage of is considered a benefit?
the common misconception of "being taken advantage of " often relates to &*^%, revenge etc.
well, "BTAO"-ed, as long as not to a severe degree, is actually another way of showing a better direction to our future route.

please do not laugh at the example that im showing next..

EXAMPLE,
u got tripped by a rock; u got BTAO-ed.
lesson learnt, avoid to walk rocky roads.
BTAO = rock trips u
BENEFIT = lesson learnt, began to ponder and reflect, avoid next time.

i believe that the second phrase needs no further explanation.

being "open" is actually a chinese translation of "kuan1 kuo4" (wide).
i personally take every mistake/ BTAO as a valuable lesson. lesson learnt doesnt make u a skeptical person; it simply raise your awareness of such possible situations.

BTAO doesnt mean that u are STUPID/DUMB/*thesaurus*, it is you being "open" and allow other ppl to do it (if its harmless). you can be aware of it, and still allows it to happen =]
if you do not understand what have i been talking about OR you do not understand above point raised, u can ask me personally. i will be glad to explain.

probability of u not being able to understand = u are not a guy.

harping and picking on others' languages/weak points/weaknesses, perhaps money as well, would make u a very "small" person ( chinese direct translation). in another words, being TOO skeptical or "ANAL" makes u a rather pathetic and petty person.

if that is the case, i have 3 words for you!...
that's "AWWW, poor thing..."

and if you find the above "crap", the above perspective is not for you.
cos...
its just another rant of mine!

have a good day.
