Changing colors like a chameleon

Hello cherry pies!

Yes forgive me for not having posted in a VERY LONG time. To tell you the truth, I had nearly forgotten about this blog *shameful gaze*. But, bless the Lord, for having given me friends who love reading what ever I write and reminding me that Midnight Façade exists.

Now, my life has turned topsy-turvey since the last time I blogged. Firstly, I got transferred at work. Damn the workplace policies *rolls eyes*. So new place. New people. Heart had to be mended (never mind that). And I wasn't in the pink of health either.

So, after fixing myself and FINALLY getting used to this place, I decided it's high time I stared at my laptop, wear my PINK geeky spectacles and wrote something.

I'm sure some of you are wondering why the odd title.

Lately I've been seeing a LOT of people who are WAY TOO nice to people, who don't really deserve that much attention. Yes, I know, none of my business and you can take my word, I don't put my nose in it. I just sit, observe, stalk and judge. Teehee. It's just that I feel bad for the nice person. He/She doesn't know what they're bringing upon themselves.

So what happens when you are too nice to people? They take advantage of you. Don't get me wrong. I'm not whining or anything here. I have seen it. Not only for myself but others too. I'm sure you have too. Don't lie, you sneaky little thing, you know you start expecting too much out of the nice person.

Of course, there are the valiant selfless people who work out things for you no matter what. Personally, I don't like it. I really think there has to be a limit.

Now, a person like me (I'm an extrovert FYI, except when it comes to talking to my crush. I turn mute then! *facepalm*), I am nice by default with all. Extra-nice with people I really like and people I don't like, well, lets not get there because ignorance is really bliss. I would probably just ignore you and wouldn't even care how you felt.

So why the categorisation? Whoosh! Story time, huh? Naaaah. I like telling stories with a happy ending. Now, all of you are smart people out there. You can join the dots, I'm sure. I was too nice once upon a time. And then, people just started expecting too much, too soon, too often. Probably, a nerve exploded in my brain and I shouted...


Ok, so I went through sh*t before the realisation struck me. But, better late than never, right?

It's not about doing something for someone that is wrong. What's wrong is when the other party doesn't give you back even quarter of what you do for them. Worse: when they don't even appreciate your effort!
Now, I know what you'll say. "You must do things unconditionally for someone. Never expect anything back.. Yada yada yada.. Blah Blah."

Yes, well, this ain't charity honey! This is your life. If someone does something nice for you, you'd appreciate it right? Well then, why can't people AT LEAST appreciate what you do for them? Make an effort to GENUINELY give back, however small. A smile. A hug. A thank you.

Trust me. Some people don't even do that. It takes all kinds to make this world, eh?


It's the little things that matter in life. ^_^

And that's how it is now. I change colors.

You nice. I nice.
You bad. I bad.
You extra-nice. Hallelujah! Welcome to my extra-sweet world.

And so ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, PLEASE don't be an idiot. Learn to moderate how much you give to the other person. If someone doesn't treat you well, put a stone on your heart and do the right thing.

YOU ARE NOBODY's DOORMAT

Don't know what is right or what is wrong? Grab one of your closest friends and ask him/her for his/her opinion. Don't have a bestie? Oh well, you're in sh*t.

But then again, you have me. TADA. I will gladly offer you some expert advice. (~_^)

Time to binge on some potato chips and watch a good movie. Tell me what you think. Leave a comment below. Share this post. Your wish!
Until then, adios amigos! Thanks for reading!
