The title above is of no relation to what I'm about to pen. Haha, I guess it just came out of the blue coz of my mood, or my dreaming for one! ;) The sun, sea, sand, and sipping away on a strawberry daiquiri! Ooooooh...how heavenly divine!

If one has a fixated impression about someone, anyone...it's almost impossible to change that impression? I think it's a very human corollary which we're all guilty of in one way or another. Sad, but true. I do believe in second chances though. In any case, being perfect is not written in the stars. Judgments, biasness, preconcieved notions, prejudice...there's just too much of it around us! Also, what's with the "group propensities"? Everything has to be done in a "go with the crowd" syndrome. *raises eyebrow* I'm definitely not one who conforms. Hahahaha, I doubt I even make sense...

Now, what about the concept that so many MCPs possess out there that since they're all hi-fliers, their partners had better be equally strong and capable women in the workforce (read: their wives will never be "allowed" to stop working)? Mind-boggling! I think, many people whose moms are home-makers would raise their hands in agreement that being a home-maker doesn't equate being weak and incapable. Some have simply chosen their families over their careers. Besides, if the men are financially stable and sufficiently competent to provide, I don't see why not. After all, it's a combined decision between the couple, who's to say anything? A man with such opinions is unquestionably not someone I'm seeking. :) Given whether or not I ever choose to sacrifice my career for my family would be another issue altogether.

On another note, I've come to a conscious decision not to waste any more of my time on certain people. Sense of disdain? Perhaps, will never ever know. Yes, certain people might be extremely busy, but hey, y'all aren't the only busy ones on earth! If the subtle idea is to just let the bond conveniently lapse over time, here, let me do the honours and chop it off for you. My being nice is definitely not a given. Friendship, alike everything else, takes time and effort. If you're not someone I've known for many years and have gone through the pits with, don't expect things to just so plainly "fall into place" as and when you think you'll have the time for other people. If that's the ideology you've got, adios! Fundamentally, I try once or twice, and if people don't put in the effort, I don't see why I should either. It's just not worth it. Along the way, a few windows close in life, and many more will open to new heights. ;)
