Something is wrong with the new blog 'Gallery' that I'm trying to set up. This new blog will be linked from the main page, but it keeps saying connection refused everytime I tried to re-publish. Damn...I got to find a way to do this.
Well guess this is a common hiccup newbies will go through in blogspot. I had sent an email to helpdesk on this problem but don't seem to get any response..so if Blogspot helpdesk is seeing this now, you know what to do ya?

Feeling pretty bored at work now..especially after lunch. Don't understand why I even want to take up this temp job at all, its really purely exchanging time for that pathetic amount of money. What a complete waste of my time and brains haha. Not that I'm the super brainy kind but well I definitely I can use more of it!
Anyway for those people who have my ICQ, you will know that my username is Rara Avis and I've been using this nickname like 4 years I think. I had alot of people asking me what it means and usually I will keep keep mum about its meaning coz it's 'special'. Usually I'll just tell people to find out themselves if they really wish to know. To those who already know, thats great coz I haven't come across anyone who knows yet.
Here's another meaningful piece from the quick insipirations webbie again. Think this work email add that I have gets a hell lot of spam, but I suppose this particular spam is like a blessing in disguise, still making some sense at least!
Anyway, was quite surprised to come across such a beautiful piece coz it totally reflected how I felt when I came across this word previously and decided to adopt it as my nick.
~~~You Are Unique~~~
You are absolutely unique.
Enjoy that uniqueness. You do not have to pretend in order to seem more like someone else. You weren't meant to be like someone else. You do not have to lie to conceal the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else.
You were meant to be different. Nowhere ever in all of history will the same things be going on in anyone's mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now.
If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap in history, something missing from the plan for humankind. Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift given only to you. Enjoy it and share it!
No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can speak your words. No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort with your kind of comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person.
No one can be cheerful and lighthearted and joyous in your way. No one can smile your smile. No one else can bring the whole unique impact of you to another human being.
Share your uniqueness. Let it be free to flow out among your family and friends and people you meet in the rush and clutter of living wherever you are. That gift of yourself was given you to enjoy and share. Give yourself away!
See it! Receive it! Let it tickle you! Let it inform you and nudge you and inspire you!
YOU ARE UNIQUE!

Working Towards What You Already Have
Sometimes we really contradict ourselves in life, we seems to be toiling so hard for more materialistic comforts in life that we lose sight of what we really want and miss the good things we already have in life.
Whenever we are working hard on something, be it a job/goal/interest, its always good to ask ourselves why are we doing this so that we don't become 'myopic' - i.e overlooking your real needs. Why are we striving to earn so much? To buy what? Perhaps you are saving up for a new car but what next? Do you really need a car or are you just changing your existing car to a latest model for keeping up with your 'perceived' public image.
Below is a related story that I got from a inspirational website call 'Quick Inspiration'. Have a good read and maybe you will like to ask yourself this question at the end too.
~~~Working Towards What You Already Have~~~
The American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.
The Mexican replied, "Only a little while."
The American then asked, "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more fish?"
The Mexican said, "With this I have more than enough to support my family's needs."
The American then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children,take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life."
The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing; and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor; eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then Los Angeles and eventually New York where you will run your ever-expanding enterprise."
The Mexican fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?"
To which the American replied, "15 to 20 years."
"But what then?" asked the Mexican.
The American laughed and said, "That's the best part. When the time is right, you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich. You would make millions."
"Millions?...Then what?"
The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."
