Safe choices

This was written by an inexperienced person after reading the first chapter of " Armchair economist". I am happy to share with anyone getting through this worth reading book.
Before coming across it on a random site, i was having sleep loss. I still remember how terrible i wanted to sleep but i could not. I was frustrated that all of my CVs and cover letters might have been thrown in some offices' trash.
The next day's morning, I started to read to calm my mind which was wandering somewhere else, not conscious at all. Focus needed!!!

The price of safe choices
What has repeated over and over again are "incentive matters" and " if the price is low, they'll choose to buy less".
These two accompanied with various examples finally give me the explanation of feelings i had yesterday. So hopeless. So worthless. I finally got why those employers did not choose me and how i was wasting time and then gained no experience.
They did not choose me because what they saw were not what I wanted them to see. I gave them a picture of such a boring person, lack of motivation and commitment. I could see that as when writing those cvs and cover letters, I veered towards safety.
The first chapter's headline is " how seatbelts kill". Seatbelts and other safety legislations  keep us safe but at the same time, we drive less carefully. We no longer notice any chances of accidents because we believe that we are in the environment free of risks.
What employers expect is not a person preferring safe options in every work he or she has done. Extra curricular activities should be challenging tasks in stead of staying in the comfort zone where a few skills are shown. When taking tasks in events and projects, i usually prefer to be a member, a backup team rather than a leader , "front" team ( i dont know how to call them as i havent been there). It's not which project you're in, the work you choose to take matters.
I thought " low price, buy more" was just in economy but in fact it's a general principle of human behaviours. It relates to incentives. The price of turning to safe options are the probability to be rejected and even the dark future. If I had been aware of this price which is always HIGH, I would step out of my comfort zone and take risks instead. In addition, this price was quite difficult to notice unless I had a good vision ,going back to old days.

It's summer and i've got Plan B to Z. After several rejections, i still want to try no matter how terrible I may feel when i cant get the job.
I'm not going to waste another summer just like the way I did in highschool and first year of college.
If only I've got a time machine to change what make me now

No more a Wimpy kid at school - 4 songs that can help you make changes

Have you ever hated your highschool so much that nightmare begins when waking up every morning to go to school.  Have you ever felt so small?  Sometimes you are invisible when standing next to someone’s spotlight. Have you ever been called a weirdo, a freak at school?  I thought I would never have any way to get out of this mess. I thought I was going to waste my four years  invisible. Looking at those ‘fabulous’ girls and boys, I was ashamed of myself not because of my family or my fat look but just me having no talent. I kept everything to myself for a year, not telling my mom. My guitar has been my best friend, she helped me get through those days. The year after, I signed up the contest at school, singing “ Mean” by Taylor Swift to the ones making feel small. I won the 2^nd prize. Of course, it was not a movie, so I was never in that popular group. But I knew that I got something so much more. I was inspired to be more confident, to believe in my true identity, to get me free of those nonsense judge.

Below are songs that I’d replayed in my private playlist named “ I WON” , I downloaded from Youtube to mp3:

1.                   Mean- Taylor Swift

“ Some day, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean ? “

This song had motivated me a lot, since I saw one of my friend hit by another big boy at school. I was so angry but you know, small people can not fight back. I chose to cover this song in the contest not only to cheer up my friend but also hit a millions hit on the big boy’s face. If we can not win physically, we can be much stronger in our minds.

2.                   Popular – Mika ft. Ariana Grande

“ My problem

I never was a model

I never was a scholar

But you were always popular

It’s not about who you are or your fancy car

It’s always who you are…”

The music video of this song is fantastic especially the last part. The revenge was super sweet, all of those Mean girls and boys turned into statues then were were broken into pieces. At last, what they do to small people like us will be paid back.

3.                   Loser like me

I prefer Glee version than the original one as Lea Michele’s voice conveyed the full message

“ You wanna be

You wanna be

A loser like me

A loser like me”

I was thinking of the day when I would be the boss that the big boy worked for. That would be so much fun. 
"I know that one day you will scream my name
But I'll look away"

4.                   Hopeful- Bars and melody

These two boys are talented. They have the audio version available on youtube and the music video that can blew this roof away. Whenever I play this song in my ipod, I just want to dance around my room . I like the way that he rapped . I never enjoy listening to rap songs but this boy made me have a second thought. What he rapped is what he found difficult to express. Everything is easy to understand. He used music as his personal speakman.

Just be who you are. That will stop every bad feeling you have about yourself, which has been caused about those mean girls and bullies

Best songs for long distance relationship

    
  Distance seems to be the worst in any relationship. We usually avoid listening those songs about couples who have to live far apart from each other just to relieve ourselves. In fact, aside from emotional ones, there are some which really motivates us to overcome this “little” obstacle. A year in long distance relationship is enough for me to have a whole playlist about it. I’ve come across thousands on different websites such as youtube, soundcloud downloader, spotify. I have 4 best songs that I really want to share with everyone in the same situation to survive to make everything work instead of putting an end.

1.       Jet lag – Simple plan ft Natasha
“Trying to figure out the time zones is making me crazy
…You say good morning
When it’s midnight
…
Turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me”
The melody is not soft at all, but this song can drive you to the verge of being a weak person who can weak him or herself in the room then cry for a day Because the song is a true story when couples have to live in different time zones. Every feeling included is expressed without any exaggeration. When we are too far away from each other, what we can do is keep ourselves busy in order not to sink in the non verbal grief and we realize how precious those time spending together.




2.       Bring me the night – Sam Tsui ft Kinna Grannis
“Bring me the night
Send out the stars
‘Cause when I’m dreaming we don’t seem far
…
Bring me the night
That brings me to you”
At the first time listening to this, I was not impressed at all but after replaying several times, this song has been in my never- get- bored- of playlist. This duet draws a romantic picture in front of listeners. There are stars, the moon and the dark sky when couples see each other again. Although it is a dream, imagining that day can help both stronger to get through “one more lonely day”  


3.       Little House- Amanda Seyfred
“ I love this place
But it’s haunted without you”
This song is in a famous movie “ Dear John”. This movie has my favorite quote : "It's a full moon here tonight, which makes me think of you. Because, I know that no matter what I am doing or where I am, this moon will always be the same size as yours, half a world away", If you have seen this movie or have heard what I’ve just written, you’ll probably cry when listening to this song. It was sung when two people sitting together before 2 year the man had to go to the army for his duty.


4.       Ours – Taylor Swift
“ If you were here, we’d laugh about their vacant stares
But right now, my time is theirs
…
Life makes love look hard
The stakes are high
The water is rough
But this love is ours “

The music video also fits the song very well . The hidden message that Taylor Swift wants to send to all listeners is that in long distance relationship or in any harsh situation, love stays strong. This positive point of view makes it highly ranked for quite a long time. Moreover, the song is catchy and easy to keep in mind.

“I’ll fight their doubt
And give you faith
With this song for you…”

Everyone could tell you this relationship would end up soon but the strong belief and faith in this love and each other can help us to deny those ridiculous doubts that let us down so much .



5.       Home – Michael Bubblé
“ I’ve been keeping all the letters
That I wrote to you
My words are cold and flat
..
You deserve more than that “
This is an old song but it is touching whenever I turn it up in my Ipod. It is everything that a man wanted to say to his girl. The whole lyrcis have one purpose which is to reassure the girl, soothe her sadness and worries. They are also imply a promise that the man would come home, back with her, with their sweet moments together

Disney movies in my childhood

I am 20 years old. Just as most of kids growing up in the world of technology , I had spent a large amount of my time watching TV. Disney channel used to be the one to be embedded in my childhood.  I soon fell in love with movies full of music, singing and dancing. All casts, instead of saying, they were singing to tell stories. All songs fitted with the scenarios. I especially like the flashmob scenes as everyone made same moves or particular shapes.

1.       Highschool Musical 1 -2 -3
I have watched these for 3 times each. I thought that I’d never get bored. Troy Bolton and Gabriella is such a great couple. The love depicted in the movie I simple, gentle, sweet but impressive enough for a PG movie. Even the mean popular girl ( Sharpay by Ashley Tisdale) is so cute that I love her the best among  casts. All characters have amazing voice. How they accompanied to each other is incredible ( Everyday, Work this out, I don’t dance, We ‘re all in this together ). What actually makes this movie go into the history of film industry is those fantastic duets ( Can I have this dance, Breaking free, You’re the music in me, What I ‘ve been looking for, Bop to the top). I still remember how excited I was when waiting for the new part. The same love, same friends, same highschool but different plots and feelings which make the viewers pay close attention to. Everytime when Disneychannel programmed these 3 parts Sing along, I immediately left my homework their to watch them then enjoy 90 minute having fun.

2.       Enchanted
Enchanted is for those  who loves fairytales in real life. The movie wrote a new ending to a familiar story. It also answered to the question : Have you ever asked the princess whether she would be happy to live with the charming prince forever after ? The princess in this movie finally found her true love , not the prince .And the one who kissed to wake the princess and fought back the dragon to save her was not the prince either but a normal man living in the city. I know about Amy Adams through this awesome movie. She is both a great singer and actress.
Talking about songs , they all have bright melodies except for the slow in the ball ( So Close ). They are all catchy and funky. When you listen to these, I promise you would stand up and dance right away.

3.       Camp Rock 1-2
Another musical movie, Demi Lovato had made her way into the viewers with her beautiful voice and the ability to express the character’s personality. Jonas Brothers had been top boy band at that time. Personally, I love Nick because of his curly hair and the talent to write songs. Camp Rock did not imitate anything from HSM, instead, it is one of the kind because of messages delivered such as believe in yourself ( This is me ). Romantic scenes are also different from HSM. For example, while Troy sang to Gabriella, Joe sang and played guitar to Demi ( honestly, I do not remember her name in the movie ) . Camprock 2 songs had dominated my playlist for quite a long time especially Wouldn’t change a thing

4.       Hannah Montana the movie
This movie seems to mark the end of Hannah Montana series as Hannah revealed herself as Miley. The main part is still the big secret and the best of both world of a teenage girl Miley Stewart.
In this movie, she came back home to escape super star’s life. But somehow, she was followed by a disturbing reporter. Some strange and funny moments still happened as in those short epsiodes  but in some way, she delivered greater messages than just joy and positive attitude towards a quite tough life. “ You’ll always find a way back home”, “ The Climb”, “ Butterfly fly away” and “Crazier” had been the top hits at that time as they are all about: being honest with yourself, with your family, with all your loved ones, is the most important in this life even when you are forced to live another one’s life.
 I also became a huge fan of Taylor Swift from that time until now.  In those days, I myself stood in front of my TV to learn “ Hoedown Throwdown “ dance tutorial. This movie is worth watching in any way

all of these soundtrack can be found in Youtube mp3

Oh wooaah [x3]

You know you love me, I know you care
Just shout whenever, and I'll be there
You are my love, you are my heart
And we will never ever ever be apart

Are we an item? Girl, quit playing
We're just friends, what are you saying?
Is there another, look right in my eyes
My first love broke my heart for the first time
And I was like...

Baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
Like baby, baby, baby oh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

Baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
Like baby, baby, baby oh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

For you I would have done whatever
And I just can't believe we ain't together
And I wanna play it cool, but I'm losin' you
I'll buy you anything, I'll buy you any ring
And I'm in pieces, baby fix me
And just shake me til' you wake me from this bad dream
I'm going down, down, down, down
And I just can't believe my first love won't be around

And I'm like
Baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
Like baby, baby, baby oh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

Baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
Like baby, baby, baby oh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

[Justin:]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm sixteen and I thought that you'd be mine,
I used to tweet you and text you and call you and hit you on Facebook all the time,
But, but, but now your gone,
So far along that I cant even find you,
You know that feeling when you leave your love and its right behind you,
Can't believe that you did me wrong,
We were on iChat all night long,
Listening to our favourite songs,
She was wrong I am gone,
I thought I loved her, never put no one above her,
Yeah she was my lover, but now onto another like..

Baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
Like baby, baby, baby oh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

Baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
Like baby, baby, baby oh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

I'm gone (Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah Yeah)
All I'm gone (Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah Yeah)
Now I'm all gone (Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah Yeah)
Now I'm all gone (gone, gone, gone...)
I'm gone

Music and Smart Pregnant Moms

Music has been proved to play an important role during pregnancy. It influences both mother and the fetus,therefore, mothers- to-be have to acquire enough knowledge in order to know how to make the best out of music. This post is for mothers- to –be who are hesitating whether to let their unborn babies listen to music.

Music calms Mothers

In this period, mothers not only welcome the good news but also suffer a lot of stress. It is understandable to all the pregnant . They may be worried about how to take care of the child, or surrounded by tons of house chores and work to do. If this keeps happening, unborn babies can be adversely affected. Aside from other psychological treatment that mothers might think of, listening to music is a great choice for relaxing. It can be found anywhere on the internet, but it is the best to download offline in order for mothers not to be disturbed by waves from Wifi. You should have some websites at your hand such as Youtube ( now they allow to save offline), Soundcloud downloader. Experts highly recommend Classical music which releases Alpha waves stimulating the brain to produce good hormones. Thus, the pressure will reduce to some extent and the unborn child will be much healthier.

Music has a moderate impact on the baby

Fetuses start to hear the noise outside from week 23^rd. They react to that through their movements.  In this stage, parents should carefully consider the type of music, the volume of songs played. Some researches show that music is involved to the babies’s better performance in math if their parents play appropriate music while they were still in the womb. Reasoning skills can be developed at early age if the babies expose to piano lessons. Hearing ability could also be improved. Another  studies illustrate that babies at three or four can still remember the songs which are played while they were not given birth. They react quickly to all familiar notes then naturally recognize

Experts have not confirmed any seriously harmful effect of music on the fetus. However, parents should be aware of high volume or wrong type of music. Although the mother enjoys rock very much, Rock ought to be avoided due to loud noise and too high frequency. Some believes that kind of annoyance towards fetus can cause hearing loss to the babies or prematurely giving birth. In addition, mothers should turn the volume at the level enough to listen to. You do not need to wear headphones as on some advertisements on TV ( they are fake anyway). You simply turn on the stereo then enjoy. Do not push yourself too hard if it is not the time you want to listen to music. That can either cause stress.
