game of life

1. If you're going to be ashamed, don't do it.
Which is why if you think a guy is chui and despite him being VERY nice,  you wouldn't want to be seen in public with him, then don't say yes. What's the point of being shifty and having to declare "we are NOT together. thanks."

2. If you're going to be scared, don't do it.
Obviously if I pon this and that or do something utterly against the rules, it's because I don't care. If I'm scared that you will find out/getting in trouble, then I wouldn't have done it. *shrugs*

3. Be nice to people who are nice to you.
If someone smiles, smile back. That's step 1 to being friendly. The opposite is true. Be horrible to people who are horrible to you. I'm not that kind to be warm and accepting of all the buggers out there. I'm not sorry. You deserve it if you're going to be hostile and arrogant.

4. Be kind if unprovoked.
Let's say you're in the lift, hold the door for every one even if nobody says thank you. It's only right. However, if some moron tsked you in the first place, then too bad. Hopefully he/she gets caught in the door.
Hold the door for strangers but if they try to push past you or give unfriendly looks, then whatever. Close the door in their face.

5. Give as much sincerity as the other party.
If I detect insincerity/lies, I return the favor. Fun right? Feed each other lies, tell each other amazing stories, make yourself sound very impressive/deep. It's not a good idea to offer up your heart and soul because that's opening yourself up to hurt and malice. Seriously life is all about give and take. There's no such thing as take take take all the way. There are probably people who give give give but I'm not one of them.
If I feel that I have to be the one doing all the work, I simply stop all communication. If it's important enough, you'll do something. If it's not, we're better off without each other.

6. If it's important, they will call again.
People who know me may realise that I don't answer unknown calls. If I don't recognise a number, I usually won't pick up. HAHA. If you call once and I miss the call, call back if it's important or...

7. If it's THAT important, they will text.
Yea, if you've called a bunch of times and the person doesn't answer, then text. Solves the whole problem. I d'no why you don't think of that. Or at least a "call me" kind of message. Simple.

8. If you can achieve the same results with less effort, take the short cut. If much more effort is required to achieve a tiny bit more of results, don't bother.
'nuff said.

9. Glimpsed this from xx's twitter - gist of it being "When you're around your girlfriend's bf, be as unattractive as possible."
Don't even TRY, it's BE unattractive. Some girls don't get this. Very erxin.

10. Most people are fair game for gossip. Even if you're saintly, people gossip about you. For being saintly. How ironic, no? I must admit I hover between being concerned and excited that there's new gossip at times.
Don't be the gossipmonger (that's the one the source of the gossip confront) . Be the one who accidentally feeds the info to someone who would spread the word.
