We Sold Our Soul To Our- SMARTPHONE?

Hey guys,

This blogpost was inspired by a friend of mine in Facebook who says that looking at our phone has been a norm these days. I myself take public transport everyday for traveling purpose and I realized we humans lost the interaction with people. We are the new generation of idiots. In a way. Smiling at our non-living gadgets.

I've gotten this from the internet but as a matter of fact that's how it looks like in the LRT these days. #Truestory

 
However, I do understand the question of how we came about like this. Answer? We are getting shy-er these days. Reason for me saying this?  We like to avoid human contacts with another stranger. It feels awkward unless he/she is a colleague or a friend. Imagine someone staring at you with no reason for 10 minutes. You'd be wondering if you yourself was really pretty or that guy must be sick in some sort of ways.

Furthermore, the power of technology has evolved into being able to shift your attention momentarily with full attention away from the current task. This is why working adults while in their office has the tendency to scroll through their smartphones while repeating boring work patterns. 

I'm not gonna lie. I myself do smile at my phone. Not until lately, I didn't switch on data, so yea. It's like snapping back to reality. Literally. Without data, there would be no access to internet. There I was looking around, searching for something interesting to look at while traveling back from work. Humans- they are fascinating creatures.

Gestures, on the phone talking to a friend or their spouse. Frowning and sleepy faces. Hours ago, I saw a man watching a movie with Christian Bale in it- he was on earphone. I wonder if the movie was good. 

What happens if the future generation plugged on earphones watching movies while taking public transportation. That is quite a sad scene if it does materialize. We would all be walking, talking robots.

 

 I guess there would not be anymore love at first sight? That's interesting because I'm not sure if it still exist in this era, but definitely it will be be extinct in the next one. Just saying 

Love at first sight.
I'm a huge fan of twilight. To all haters of TWILIGHT, Bite me.

This is an ancient picture of my phone. Didn't get to post it. Since this title is relate-able.
So, here it is! :D

So instead of gluing to our phones most of the time, why not spend some time with yourself thinking ways to stay positive, spending time with friends, with the scenery, with the environment?

Sila renung-renung dan fikir-fikirkan.

Yours truly :D

P.S. Heavy downpour today. I would like to thank my colleague whom shared the umbrella with me.
Thanks a million!

My dear readers- you know that I miss you lots right?

Signing off with XOXO.

Till then! :D

Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

Hello my lovely readers, I have been MIA for like so long. HAHAHA

I have been quite sick last weekend, so all my weekend planning to do ALS Ice Bucket challenge and donation had to be put on hold as all I do was to sleep after every meal.

Don't worry now, as I'm fully recovered, or at least I think I am. *giggles*

So all my planning can proceed as planned! I would like to take this opportunity to thank my dear old friend Lee Yi Hui, all the way from New Zealand. Sending you love from all the way from Malaysia. Thanks yo! :D Without her nomination  I wouldn't have thought of donating to ALS Association.

Not only it is a way to create awareness among this generation of the disease but also to help them by donating by monetary term(for ALS research purpose) or time(spent with patients) or gifts(toys & etc).

Seeing this makes me very happy. Not a word is accurate enough to describe how I feel after seeing this.

A brief explanation of what is ALS. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body.

In laymen term would be the brain losing the control of all your muscle which leads to patients being completely paralyzed.

It reminds me of a great book by Mitch Albom by the title of Tuesday With Morrie. I've learnt from the book that usually we, humans chase after the wrong things until we or someone close to us are diagnosed with deadly disease. It changes the perspective of the individual itself. This expensive bag or a pair of shoe wouldn't matter so much when our life or someone close to us's life is at stake.

However, by saying this, we should not stop living and enjoying life altogether. After all, we are just human. *insert the song Human- Christina Perry*

Okay. Jokes aside, live and enjoy life not to the expense of others. Bring joy to others as well. Be it a smile to a stranger or helping a visually impaired person going into the lrt.

Of course definitely, not only should we channel all our focus solely on ALS since it has been receiving tons of attention worldwide instead but also others such as World Vision. Do click on the link below for more information. :D

 Together we can make the world a better place! Peace yo.

Here's a video of me doing the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. LOL
