Of relationship and +Cognitive Bias

Realizations are sometimes painful but I hate to refer to them as such. I would rather say, they are eye-openers, epiphanies, and enlightenment, but not close enough to Nirvana. I am writing now because, as often as I want to document them, i just can't get myself back to sleep. And it's exactly 5:38 AM PST

As always, I will not go into detail,but tonight I realized that the number of years you have in a relationship with your partner is
not directly proportional into how they perceived things in your perspective. If you think that the latter phrase sounds hazy enough, let us not forget why this Blog is named in such a way. (I always have the tendency to talk or even write gibberishly so please excuse me for that and if you can't stand it, don't read any further(disclaimer) because it is only going to get worse. )

Let's say, for example, that you have a good intention. There is always that significant tendency that your good intention is not channelled properly to your partner even if you have exhausted every possible means to convey it properly like you always do from past instances. It is as if it is back to zero all the time even if you have been spending time together for a decade. Now that is what I call frustration at its peak!! As in Mt Everest steepest peek! Why do this happen? It is a phenomenon called cognitive bias.

If you are able to read this post then you have Google at your fingertips as well, so spare me for defining it for you coz I am getting kinda sleepy already. *yawns* (bet you are yawning too huh?)

My point is, we should prepare ourselves and expect for getting these kind of frustrations all the time. It is a pessimistic view but it will essentially strengthen our defense mechanisms and leaves very little room for pain without so much drama and so much crying and so much facebook shoutout sad emoticons available flooding in our walls the whole day.

So there it goes, this is how I rant in style. I know it doesn't matter what I have to say. But I am just going to say it anyway. Harharhar... Its snoozing time for me... *big yawn* (picture me yawning and u will yawn too, gotcha!)

Songs I Listen to when I want to go into EMO mode

Of course, we all have our moments. There are times  I listen to sad songs but I'm not necessarily sad. I just want to fathom the sadness and replicate the type of emotion the artist underwent when he wrote the song. I always wanted to write my perfect sad song, but I guess I am not descriptive enough of my emotions because I think a lot. So here it goes, my playlist of Sad Songs. If you have some, please share it with me. Look me up in grooveshark. heheheh
