If you want to grow, don’t date someone who is exactly like you.

It’s easy to be seduced by your mirror image—someone who validates your every whim, who agrees with you on every major issue, and who wants to spend every hour of the day just as you do. It’s reassuring to be strikingly similar to another human, but when you choose a mate who’s just like you, you’re destined to remain stagnant.

Don’t date a “yes man” or “yes woman”—the people who laugh their faces off at everything you say, and who follow your lead blindly every day. Date the person you literally can’t stand on occasion because their opinions drive you mad or their way of seeing the world seems incomparable to you. Force yourself to try to see things from their perspective—to learn how their experience of the world has shaped their views and made them harbor whatever beliefs they hold dear.

Urge yourself to consider an alternate reality.

Date someone whose strengths offset your weaknesses, and vice versa. Someone you can admire for being truly accomplished in the areas you struggle in—who’s motivated where you’re lazy, meticulous where you’re sloppy, cool and collected when you’re given to craziness.

This person will round you out.  Together, you will be better. You will enhance each other’s lives, even though you will not always align. You will butt heads, and you will fight. But if you know how to apologize, everything will be fine.

Over time, you will learn to celebrate each other for exactly who you are, including those sometimes irksome differences. You will come to understand that your partner’s flaws aren’t flaws at all. And neither are yours. You are both human and you are both constantly evolving. As a couple, you’ll see that you’re unstoppable—thanks to each other.

It's the 21st century, and everyone (and when I said everyone, I mean it includes some people whom we can call "grandparents") are in various forms of social media. There's Facebook, Twitter, Wechat, Line, Google plus. We have microblogging app such as Dayre (it is pronounced as 'Dia-ry', something like that). We have apps fit for photography enthusiast such as VSCO Cam and Instagram. Heck, my ama has Whatsapp and created one chatroom specially for her children, their spouses and her grandchildren! And she just turned 75 a few days ago (although, I am not sure if this is her REAL age or her IC age, lol). That is how fast our world is moving today that having a social media is a must (or it seemed like it).

Since most of my paternal cousins are twice younger than I am (I have one cousin on the way in fact, as at today lol), I am exposed to a number of social medias that they use these days. And one of it is Snapchat. So what exactly is Snapchat?


Snapchat is actually a form of social media where you can use to post photos (well, what else is new?), and a video of a few seconds. And the beauty of this app? After 24 hours, whatever that you posted will be sort of 'erased' from your profile. But I remembered reading about an update on Snapchat that there is Snapchat memories, something like our Facebook memories, I guess? I don't know. I just can't be bothered about the updates hahaha. All I know is that I get to post pictures with captions ON the photo itself, with some filter like face swap (this I can say, my favourite filter among all, lol) and also a few seconds video of what I AM doing at the time. I can say that I gave in to 'peer pressure' (sorta) as I have my own Snapchat account since a few months ago.

Actually, the real reason why I am writing this post is because I just wanna find a reason to post some of my Snapchat photos elsewhere than Snapchat hahaha. If you are expecting a heartfelt post like most of my previous post lately, well, not today. So this is the collection of my snaps for today, July 16th 2016.










So basically that's my update for today. It looks mundane but, well, I guess Snapchat is another way of one to post mundane things and make it interesting. To end this definitely random post, let me post a selfie of me with one of the filters hahaha.



If you have Snapchat, add me up at kumangjulan!
