so now its a bittersweet feeling again. somehow its always the same when one phase of my life ends. im glad i completed bmt, but really apprehensive about going to unit/command school. i really do hope i get into ocs, but im afraid the training there would be insane. but its okay, i'll just enjoy the block leave first and worry later.

and its difficult making decisions. like any kind of decision. big ones, small ones, random ones. decisions always result in pros and cons. being me, i detest the cons. but decisions still have to be made every single day. and its always about making the best one, choosing the right one. at every crossroad, there's always this tendency for me to escape from reality. i dont like to choose, and i love my comfort zone. i dont like change, i dont like conflict. but that's just the way the world works. i have to suck it up.

so many things are inconsistent and very much fragile. one moment you could be smiling, and another you could be frowning. within a short span of time, a lot of things can happen, perhaps due to the advancement of technology etcetera. along with technology, comes misunderstandings. it is said that communication is split into a few components, body language, tone and diction. more than 50-60 percent or so goes to body language, followed by more than 30 percent goes to tone. the remaining is diction, which is the choice of words used.

using technology, things like texts, emails and instant messengers only ever encompass one aspect of communication. yes, diction. how large a percentage does that comprise of? through technology, i believe it is efficient, it is fast. however, it does have its shortages. and it really is a shortage. through texting, only a maximum of 20 percent of what a person is trying to convey, is really conveyed. the other 80 percent through body language and tone, is gone. if communicating through text is efficient, i would say it short changes people. a full understanding of what a person is trying to say will never be achieve. no matter how many "hahaha" or smileys are being inserted into the text.

in contrary, i am an avid believer of text. solely because it is handy, quick and efficient. when there is too little time to make a call or meet up, texting is definitely a very very useful means of communication. what's more, with student plan it is free and unlimited! however, misreading a text or over analysing could be dangerous. i've misread and misunderstood texts before, and have been on the flipside too. really powerful how technology has changed the world. now people have online dating!??!?! they are crazy.

okay time for tennis! its been a while since i hit the courts. bye.
