Its the dreaded virus scanning hour of the day. I cant do anything on my comp except blogging.
So recently Taiwanese variety shows have been discussing on how 白目 people are hated. Its interesting because the English translation for 白目 is - being direct and speaking whatever that comes to your mind.
Being frank and direct to your friends is considered a virtue in the western society. Because it is suppose to help your friends improve and see their short coming. But the Chinese culture views it differently, 白目ness is considered socially undesirable.
So in the western culture to tell your friend they need to lose weight you would say
"Hey, I think you put on some weight, you need to excercise"
And in chinese culture it would be
"Lets exercise together more often"
Well the point about this entry is that, I think I'm too much to the western side already and its bad, because it is certainly not my intention to hurt my friends. I want everyone to be good. But some people are simply too oblivious to their shortcomings. Without the use of heavy words its hard to knock sense into people with thick skulls.
But then again would I be actually super imposing my own believes onto others. That wouldn't be right, because my way to do things is not always the right nor only option.
P.S can't wait for the new sem to start already, I miss school and friends.
With a Ladies toilet!
Its signifies a day of shame and utter defeat for the testosterone producing population.
