When a person is described as chameleon, the reference to the animal is generally a commentary on the person's ability to blend into various social situations, often to mean the person has no true values, or that he quickly abandons them in company if it's convenient to do so. "Chameleons" are also people who can change their personality and appearance with ease, morphing into a seemingly different person, such as an accomplished actor or model.

Nowadays, a lot of people are becoming like chameleons which bothers other people’s mind because they can not tell if that person really tells the truth or not.

I for one have doubts, I am not sure if the person whom I had given my trust are real people. I have known a lot of people whom I trusted before and still they have my trust. But there people I’ve known before whom I entrusted everything but in the end they were the ones who abandoned and turn their backs on me the time I needed their understanding and help.

This time I am very careful of giving my trust to other people. I don’t have the ability to tell if they’re true friends or not but I have my personal ways of identifying one. I don’t easily trust people I encountered everyday, I am still hesistant of teling them things bout my self especially people whom I know. I have to be extra careful of the words coming out from my mouth.

It is so disappointing that people you look upon, people whom you’ve entrusted everything are ones who tries to destroy everything about you.

I am not saying that I am perfect, all I wanted to say is I’m a true friend, not a chameleon nor pretentious on things I’m doing.

It's too late!

People tends to be so pretentious nowadays. At first, it seems that they don't care and knew nothing. Escaping their responsibilities and showing other people that they are not affected of the chaotic thing happening around them. I was so annoyed when i see people trying to avoid their obligations and in the end when everything didn't turn out well they would give you not so good comments and would blame you for what happened. These people were good in what we so called "playing safe", in other words, when everything turn out well they would associate their selves with it (though they did nothing in making it successful) but when it turns out bad it is very easy for them to tell other people that they were not part of it, it wasn't their plan and blame you for what happened. Their genius mind becomes in motion giving you advices like you shouldn't have this, you would've make use of this, it's all your fault you didn't ask anything from me.... What the! I don't need it!

Now I am carrying all the burden. It is because from the very beginning I am the one, the only one who have the HEART doing it. I have to comfort those people, I have to give them the assurance that they did well but it wasn't enough so we have to be prepared and give our 100% next time. An advice that we put up a good fight, they were happy performing and we did our best won't wash away the SADNESS they felt. What they need are real people who would stand with them no matter what happened. A person who would stand at their back giving them hopes and assuring them support and leading them by example.

I don't regret doing all the best thing I could to help them in their battle, what I regret the most is seeing other people doing nothing but in the end they would be the first to blame you to what happened.

“The Nuisance Candidates”

The worst thing was going round the room saying what you are doing - I just felt really humble saying, 'I'm Ruth Wilson, I'm playing Jane Eyre'Ruth Wilson

This article isn’t about politics but somehow it could be related to....

Everyday I would hear other people talking about their achievements in life, plans and current situations. I ain’t perfect to tell that those people are too selfish not to give considerations to other co-workers but in my personal opinion they’re creating a chaotic environment.

What would you do if people around would always talk about the same thing over and over again? Would you be happy and eager to converse with them knowing that you already talked about it? Hahahaha! This article is making me a bad person. But somehow it helps me control my self, it helps me not to feel hatred, it helps me control my emotion to burst. That is why, most of the time I would divert my attention to other things like preparing my prepared lessons, chatting with mentees and other students, or sometimes texting and listening to mellow music using my headphone. Hahaha... Really a bad guy!

These kind of people are not tired of telling stories ‘bout theirselves. Obviously, in the film they were the ones who are called the lead actors and actresses. They are the ones being focused by the camera or by the spotlight. Do i envy them? No, I am starting to hate them.

At one instance, I joined them in a meeting. We are suppose to talk about our primary concerns (agenda), but it turn out talking about them. Of how great they are, how other people would look upon them and most specially how perfect they are. Hahahaha – but nobody is perfect as far as I know. They would consisntently show and prove you that they are the best compare to other people around them. It was like a competition everytime they converse. Survival of the fittest – oopppsss! Survival of the witty. Those who are not intellectually capable, lost in the competition. But if you’ll observe it more, everything is nonsense because most of the inputs are all about themselves proving they’re good, they’re the best and not the concern one. It always turn out blaming other people.

I wanted a new environment. On the other hand, I can’t force the people around me to make the changes or even adjust for my own sake. That is too selfish of me. I have to deal things on my own, and not bother other people to do it for me.

When would I stop?! I don’t know... Maybe when the time comes that I lost my interest of joining them.

of TRADITIONAL vs MODERN

I just don't understand why other peoples seems to be comfortable on what they have right now. They don't want to explore the world beyond their what so called "comfort zone". People who are close minded and would always reject new ideas. It so sad that these people did not even experience the other world aside from the world they have right now and yet they feel superior. Other people still look up to them and praise them without hesitation, do things the way they want it to be, and insist things to other people though it does not really suits the person.

I pity those kind of people, they were deprived of exploring their real self because from the very beginning they were acting like robots - doing things that are programmed and designed for them. They were not given the chance to explore the possibilities the modern times brought to them.

In the teaching profession, a lot things had been changed. From classroom teaching up to the content of the lesson. Even classroom management. Students nowadays knows their rights and privileges in education. Teachers are somehow a page away from their students and cause them to be stagnant for some time. That is why the teacher should never stop learning and exploring new ideas for his teaching improvements.

I for one worries that my students for the next 5, 10, or 15 years would know a lot of things compare to me. But that's the reality, that is why i never stop exploring new things and ideas for my teaching profession. You just have to learn to accept that as the years/time passes by your becoming more and more traditional because of the new technologies invented and new strategies developed in the teaching profession. We have to accept that whatever things we taught to those kids before might not be applicable to the kids of the modern times. We have to embrace new ideas and new ways of defining, molding and enhancing the skills of our students.

I know traditional things are still helpful but not all of those are all applicable in the modern times.


It's about time to THINK.....
