Random – time approach

It’s kind of funny – just connecting to previous expectations and obvious posts as well, how we make assumptions in life.

I’ve had a chance to be in few places so far where there is no real timetable for public transportations, was also in places where time is religion or where there is timetable but it is normal to treat is a guide not a bible.

Kind of funny that I used to feel weirdo about not having timetable, not planning what time to leave flat, how much the way to stop takes, to be on time to catch this bus- European style? no idea…

but it is really funny that after 10 almost months in Germany – time is religion, super organized, timetabled country, where in addition I’m not for studies, voluntary activties but serious work, I have no clue what time trains from my stop leave? More or less I leave when I’m ready I wait or I run and it’s ok.

Is is cause I’m more flexible? less stressed? online 24/7 so waiting is not loosing time anymore?

no clue but kind of intresting observation that… life, expecations, assumptions, conclustions always start and end in our head

EuroAsia

Some time ago when I first met people from Asia, I was really impressed by the culture, balance, tradition respect.

Later took me sometime to realize tht what you see and feel is just courtesy not real emotions and the relations need more time to be built and are shaped in totally different way. For people knowing mainly my sarcastic and ironic point of view and bold approach may be actually hard to understand why and how I enjoy and look up to Asia so much…

Nevertheless 8 months in WesternEurope corpo world took me far far away from the fascinating Asian spirit…

While hosting friend from Hong Kong I realized how far, how much I miss that and how enjoyable life would be if we became more pure…

Is it just so simple and amazing when sometimes will ask you whi the guys who are supposed to take care of order in the train are actually so fat that they wouldn’t catch anyone escaping from them?

Or why so many people wear dark, dull colours of clothes, looking as one big unhappy crowd?

Why in this mad world we don’t take time to go out of accepting irrational things and taking them for granted ?!

I so much want to move out of Europe asap as my perspective is getting smashed!

eat me more eat me more …

I don’t get this why in our super Western culture buying more food is so much encouraged! OK get the point of having less packaging etc but come’n how 1 kg of packed onion can be 0,72  Eur and cost of onions per kilo – not packed is 1,99! This is sooooo stupid, so people buy more for less and keep throwig away food, are we really so random that we cannot stop this ?

And the 2nd think, expecially about Germany… food is ridicolously cheap…  I don’t really think this should be called food cause how bill for buying:

400 g cheese, 2 camemberts, bread spread, 2 packs of bread, 10 eggs, 1 l milk, big m&ms, 250 g frozen spinach can cost 11 Eur? I do really think something is really wrong about whole food trade in Western Europe

More or less 2011 plan

shopping & clothes

As January is the sales month in Europe this had to be a topic here;-)

1) I’m not a person who really enjoys shopping for one simple reason – I hate paying too much for things not worth it, bot comfortable, not looking good and so many people will be wearing them that you will have problems to understand and distinguish urself.

2) Visit in the shop during the weekend – dudes I actually don’t get it why I can still wear some clothes that were worn by mum 30 years ago… not to mention I used to have a blouse from my grandma sth like 40 years old- seriously and if I buy something now after 3 washings will look like shit?! I don’t know what is worse, the need to buy new and more created by fashion – can be good while creates new working places on the other hand, or the fact that we produce so much waste becasue what we produce is a shit :/

this is kind of gross! So the results of this year sales- 1 Zara Tshirt, 1 Rylko boots, lets track till when will I use them…

Apologies but the online webpages of both don’t show these pieces and I’m to lazy to take picture, though it may be a project… nowadayas shopping – how long the things do <not> last

Expectations problem

I think there are 2 main problems with expectations:

1) we have them – the idea behind is that if we have them we can preapre ourself better, we know what to expect so we feel safer and in general we don’t like risk, we can also influence external world to move towards fulfilling the expectations.

Yeah cool – but why they biggest reason to smile and be happy is usually something unexpected, totally out of the blue? mhm…

2) the way we create them – we incorporate our own experience, knowledge, support of others to build adjusted and very often how we call them realistic expectations – 2 problems about it

1. realistic means usually worse than our internal desire- which means we already give up on sth but we still expect a bit…does it really make sense? ok its like plan B, adjusting any plan because of changing environment but when we creat plan the goal stays, we just adjust the way of achieving it, when we change expectations do we adjust the way or the final goal :>

2. They are subjective – so yesterday at the train stations I met small mice, I don’t like rodents really, I can get really neurotic about insects, rodents etc, but the point is I was also in Asia where rats were running in the place we ate (of course not many and rarely but they did) and it was not a reason to stop the meal, to scream, to get panic. So why was it so stressful yesterday? Cause it happened in German, super cool organized Western European country.

And if I didnt have expectations towards what to see in Asia and what to see in europe the rad would always be rat and the sun a sun mhm…?!

So let’s see if life without expectations is possible and is it better or worse:>?
