Social Comparison - Continued

As promised, I will talk about the Social Comparison question that I posted. In any case, you are probably more normal choosing A under the Social Comparison theory. Because, people tend to compare upwards and it makes them unhappy. So, since you were given a chance to be happy, you would be more likely to choose it. For those who picked B, you are probably just very logical in seeing that B has a higher value, or maybe you are just more practical. Haha...

In any case, this was carried before and majority of the respondents picked A. So, I didn't decide on my own to say people who picked A are normal.

Hope you like this little piece of Psy fact. Till next time ~

Social Comparison

I just finished my assignment and submitted it awhile ago. Now, I am waiting for my iPhone to finishing sync-ing. So, here's a little 'test' I came across while doing the assignment.

Choose 1:
World A - You earn $50k while others earn $25k
World B - You earn $100k while others earn $200k

I will talk about this on the next post.

It's been a long long time/Splitza: Alternate storyline Revealed.

Yes, I know. It has been a freaking long time since my last post.

Let's see, what was I up to... I stopped blogging to prepare for my exams which ended in late May. Results were mediocre, but I can't expect too much considering the amount of effort I put in.

Then, had a break in June till recently when class started. Didn't really do anything significant, I think.

Now...Quite a bit of changes in office. Recently, reassigned to help out in a project and will need to travel in September. As a result of the project, I was pulled out from daily work and also RE Club (can't remember whether I mentioned about it on blog before).

The thing about RE Club is that I have been working in the club for more than half a year and planning of events such as D&D are in progress. So, I kind of feel bad about having to left halfway, though it wasn't my choice. RE Care(which is something I volunteered for which is about community services) is something that I was looking forward to, but didn't get to follow through for the same reason.

But, all that being said, I am not complaining or unhappy about the arrangement. In fact, it is quite exciting. I mean I get to go overseas as a junior. And all this recognition of my efforts at work with new responsibilities and training opportunities. It is all very nice.


Recently, I have been thinking. (yeah right, since when do I not think about something) Because I am doing Positive Psychology this semester and constantly coming across positive thinking during various training programs at work, I tend to think in a more positive light now. Consciously, at least.

It's a good thing. I am now revisiting certain bad memories from the past and doing a proper closing to that chapter of my life. It's not exactly the easiest thing to do, since emotions are involved. After doing that, I feel a whole lot better. Maybe that is why I haven't been blogging, because I didn't need to anymore. No emotion dumping was required.

Maybe now, I can start to blog about the stuff I intended to in the very very first place. Things about how I see and think about this complicated world of ours. Not that my views are special or THE WAY or anything of that sort, but I always believe that everyone's perspective would probably be unique in their own way. And maybe through this way we can learn from each other.

Years back, I started working towards my ideal world with the ideology from a simple movie. Now, I still am and I hope that I can make a difference in even just one persons life. And maybe it will be paid forward like how the theory should work.

Ok...I am starting to ramble, I shall stop here for now. =)

Author Notes: As long as the entries has stopped, Splitza has also been on hold. I had no luck for the UNI item I intended to do. I guess I am still no good with offline creativity. Not trying to say that I have much creativity online. But, just this bit. That I have.

In any case, I won't start the chapters yet as I haven't figure out how to continue the story. If you know me well enough, it is probably unusual of me. Since, I am the kind of person who plans ahead quite a bit. Well, I did plan ahead and had a plot for quite a few chapters.

Remember I was saying that there was suppose to be an unfolding of a mentioned plot on 26 Mar 10. Well, Shiori was supposed to die on that chapter and also there was suppose to be a new character. But, after my little positive review (mentioned above) , I decided not to do it.

The truth is, Shiori was model after someone. Someone I wanted to forget and someone whom I had buried in my mind for quite a while. But, after my review, I had a different take of the situation and decided that she can continue to live in my heart as the perfect girl she was. (Hmm...Why did I put a picture of YUI there?)

It is right that people should calm down before they revisit the problem. It would probably look a whole lot less problematic.

In any case, Shiori won't die and the new character just have to find others ways of surfacing. And in doing this reveal regarding the original plot, some of you may start to think that in other words the characters and events are based on my life. My answer would be its up to your imagination and logical deduction as to whether it is based on my life. ;)
