We’ve talked about maximizing your strengths on the previous post, now what do we do with your weaknesses?

We all have our bad times. Or perhaps some of us are already born with the certain disadvantages that put us a notch below the others. But actually, who is it that is there to determine what is normal or success? And how do we weight ourselves, is it from your heart, or is it from how others see you?

After watching this talk by Aimee Mullins on TEDs, I guess she gave us a very simple but powerful answer.

“It is not so much about overcoming adversity as it is opening ourselves to it, embracing it. Grappling with it. Maybe even dancing with it. Perhaps as we see adversity as something natural, consistent and useful, we’re less burdened by the presence of it. “

Dancing with adversity, making it your partner. Now that’s some new idea that we all can use.

Aimee Mullins: A Living Miracle

Aimee Mullins was born without fibulae in both legs. In other words, she had to amputate both legs off when she was 1 year old, and theoretically she will have to live on a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

That’s what the doctors think.

And of course, as of all stories of all great people in this world, she did not buy that idea and made a miracle out of her adversity. She learned to walk using prosthetic legs by the age of two, and went on to do all what other “normal” kids will do — walk, swim, play, and run.

Oh yes, she can run really well. With her specially designed prosthetic legs she had set World Records on 100 meter, 200 meter and the long jump during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. No, she did not compete with the other “handicapped” group, she competed with the “normal” bunch who had meat on both sides of the legs, just like you and me.

Oh, instead you’re wondering why she looks so pretty and hot, she did model for Alexander McQueen back in the late 90s. Yep, she’s a model. A hot one at that.

And that is determination. And of course, she did what she preached in this video: to embrace your weaknesses and dance with it.

I am a huge fan of TEDTalks, and this video is another reason why you should watch them.

“The Opportunity Of Adversity”

Accepting And Embracing Your Weaknesses

Well, I’m sure not every one of you are patient enough to sit through the 22 minutes of the video. Let me just summarize the story for you here.

If you have a weakness, or at bad times, accept it to be part of you, embrace it and turn it into an opportunity to do great things.

A lot of us know that we have our own problems. It may be a physical, mental or spiritual problem. And a lot of us chose to just nod our heads at it, and decide to tuck them under the bed or the old dusty chest of the unknown in our hearts and hope we’ll never see them again.

Wrong.

Running away from your problems will not make them go away. They are still there, and they will be back to haunt you no matter how hard you try to hide them.

And if the problems won’t go away, why not just accept and embrace it, and make it a part of you to be proud of?

I personally have problems of my own too. I have been living with the pain of arthritis for the past 15 years, and still counting. I do admit that sometimes I will feel that I can’t achieve what many others can due to my own problems, mostly physically, but I know that I can excel in other parts of life if I work hard (and maybe smart) enough.

Aimee Mullins achieved what many has deemed “impossible” and became a living motivation for all of us. Now, I am passing on the motivation love to you. :)

Turning “Disable” To “Poss-able”

At the end of the video, Aimee shared her version of the word “Disable”, different from that from the dictionary:

Disable, (verb)
To crush a spirit, to withdraw hope, to deflate curiousity, to promote an inability to see beauty, to deprive of imagination. To make abject.

Ant. To make poss-able.

Someone with problems is not disabled until you crush their hope. And you are not disabled until you have lost hope.

The day you accepted yourself as a whole, the day you have gained so much more. Perhaps more than many others in this world will ever find, because everything about you, including your weaknesses and problems, are special to your own. Keep them.

Well, I vowed that I will catch the lady boys this time at Bangkok, and I made it! Went to watch the Mambo Cabaret Show at Bangkok, Thailand, and to my pleasant surprise, they did a dance cover for the popular Korean group Wonder Girls’ “Nobody”!

Yep, they are the lady boys. Or you can call them the transvestite or the “agua”s, but whatever you call them, they did a pretty great job!

And I really mean, PRETTY! They’re hotter than many girls out there okay, you can’t find a trace of manliness in their performance!

Here’s a video of the performance. Don’t miss it, really!!

Well, consider that my souvenir gift and apology gift for you for being missing from this blog for so long, will ya?

But of course, there’s more! How can I leave you deprived with only one video and no extra pictures?

Look at the boobs! They look oh so… squeezable! Do you have that, lady, hmm, hmmmmmm? >:)

That’s my friend Nick with one of the princesses of the show. At first she took this pic, but thinking it’s probably too tame, she took this one after the shot!

So huggable!

Of course, how can one princess be enough? It’s not every day you get to take picture with a pretty gal, you know!

So here’s more with another princess!

Yep, she’s one of the “Wonder Girls” around in the video! The tallest with the prettiest hair and biggest boobs! Woohoo!

So how can I miss out the chance?!

Of course have to take also lah!!

Actually, not to say anything but this princess winked at me and “electrocuted” me even before the show starts and throughout the show whenever she’s on stage, so I’ll be really sorry if I don’t take a pic with her, right? :P

These “girls” are way too hot to think that they are once a guy. From the looks, at least. As well as all the moves, the way they stand, they way they put their arms around you, and on the warmth on the boobs. <3

But oh well, there's always something that deceives them. When they started talking the coarse voice still reveals all truths. Who cares, the eye candy is more important, no? ;)

Well, I'm sure that's not enough of pretty gals! Or lady boys, hmm. :P

So here comes the killer pic!

This one is really the hottest of them all, no kidding!

Are you ready?

Here it comes!!

Oh, sizzling indeed!!

Well, following up my last post of original Christmas musics, lets not let it stop and have more Christmas music, shall we? :)

Only this time, it’s from me! :D

I cooked up this crappy lil song on the piano. In case you didn’t notice, it’s kinda a modified version of Jingle Bells, only this is slower, and hopefully sweeter and touchier.

So please, come in and enjoy my Christmas Gift for you. :)

Have you been home?

While everyone is in happy jolly Christmas mood, perhaps sometimes it’s nice to sit down and think, what can we do to make our Christmas a really memorable one. While it’s nice to have a real big party or a smashing night out, but sometimes, just a sweet little dinner around the table at home will do.

After all, Christmas is a family celebration. Well, used to be. Shouldn’t we go back and make it one?

How are you celebrating Christmas this year? :)

While I know it takes some time for YouTube to load and stream lately, but hey, let it run for a while and give me a chance, will you? :)

Christmas is coming near, and well a blog isn’t a blog without something to celebrate Christmas!

Well for this blog this time, I am going to put together 15 Original Christmas Songs from people all over the net!

These people I find are highly talented and highly creative to come up with these original Christmas songs, something that are very different from the Christmas traditionals that we hear every day.

What’s even greater is that these people had put in that much effort to create content that is original and are actually very good all by themselves to share with the world. The power of Web 2.0!

I’m not gonna bug you with more prep talks, bump in for some sweet (and some funny) original Christmas music!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Liked the videos? Which one do you like? :D

And hey, how are you enjoying your Christmas so far? Been shopping a lot, I suppose? ;)

Okay, I confess, I love my porn. Which young guy doesn’t?

However, what bothers me sometimes is the surprisingly huge amount of masturbating videos on XTube.

Why do people wanna show off their tools so much, and why do people love to watch?

WARNING: Sexually explicit discussion ahead, proceed with caution!

It was only the other day that my friend and I are talking about this. We were discussing about our (ahem) passion with porn, and he said that he’s horny.

So I blurted, “Why don’t you take a video of that and post that on XTube?”

He reflectively defended himself, “Why would I wanna do that?”

I cheekily answered, “Because I wanna watch?”

“And why do you want to watch that?”

Good question, isn’t it? I wonder how many guys (or girls if any) out there would like to watch another person masturbate. And I wonder how many of them actually asks the same question as me.

What’s the fun of watching different guys or girls doing the same action, over and over again for minutes, then watch another person doing all the same thing all over again? With him/herself?

And of course, there’s always the supply to fulfill these demands. Hundreds of JO videos are uploaded on XTube every day. Just open the main page and there’re probably half of them are all self masturbating videos. Not to mention, most of these videos are badly taken with a cheap webcam or phone camera.

Jerk-off on XTube

On the watching side, I guess it is human nature to find it sexually arousing to watch another person indulge in a sexual activity of any kind. ANY kind. Who cares what you do, as long as you can see the working sexual organ, that’s enough. Masturbation is one of them.

On the recording side, masturbating is the easiest sexual activity to record. No whole body exercises involved, you don’t have to worry much about the (ahem) angles (both the camera and the other one), and all you need is a pair of hands. Also, it happens to be the easiest attention seeker. When you’re high, porn surfers will just watch anything posted. And drool over it.

So when it’s easy to take such videos, it isn’t surprising to find a huge amount of them on surge on the net. When people get exposed to it every day, they’ll eventually develop some feelings towards it. A fetish, maybe? Oooh, masturbating vids are so sexy.

Some people seem to take a lot of pride when their jerking videos are being watched a lot. And they actually go great lengths to get more hits, such as working out a perfect body shape to be more deliciously appealing, or going around other fetishes such as leather or furry or bondage or bdsm or dildos and tons of other activities. The hardcore ones share them on networking sites, on forums, on emails, everywhere.

They love being watched. People love watching them. Such mutual relationship, it’s almost Platonic.

Not like I’m encouraging you to post a jerk-off vid of yourself now. But if you do, remember to send me a link so that I can watch too, ok? ;)

So what do you find sexy about masturbation vids? Be honest, do you watch them? :3

If anything, this is one hell of a good advert and a good marketing campaign!

It’s humorous, it’s smart, and it’s Halloween! Samsung did a great job this time, gathering zombies, an alien, Medusa, Frankenstein, a witch and a troll to teach you how to take pictures of yourself, the smart way.

Learn from this Guide To Taking Better Pictures… Of Yourself. It’s all about the angles, baby!

Petra Fry

Oh yes, she looks sexy alright. Wait until you’ve seen her real face.

The moral of this video: never trust social networking sites’ profile pictures.

And there’s a whole channel devoted to it!

Watch all other six videos to learn exactly how to own the angles. You’ll need the tips, one day! Trust me!
