Bluer than Blue

God created a colorful world, the trees green, the woods brown, the flowers of different colors, and the sky as blue. But what if the only color we can see is blue? I think it is too difficult to live in a world with only one color because all the things in the world are in disorder. Imagine, have you seen a blue crow? How would you know that it’s a crow? We all know that crows are black. It would be hard for us to distinguish the differences of things because they are all created with a uniform color. We might be tempted to think that we are already in heaven for we also think that blue is the color of the heavens.

A Different Look Daily

If I look differently each day that would be insane. I mean, I sleep looking like this and I wake up looking someone else. I cannot establish my identity because people won’t believe that I am Dennis. People would say, “Hey, you’re not him, psycho.” My life would be a mess because how can I apply to get a job if I wake up each day differently. The only job I can get is in a circus, “Ladies and gentleman, the shape-shifting freak!!!” And how can I have a girlfriend if I change face everyday? Can she accept me? The worst thing is that the FBI or CIA is always at my back to catch me and put me in a lab, and do lots of test on me. I think the only good thing is I can get into the “record books” – “the man that can change his appearance everyday.” Get famous, get interviewed everyday, have sponsorship, become a spy and get rich. Hey, I don’t have to work after all.

How to Say "No" Gracefully

Saying “no” is quite difficult to do especially to those people who ask for help. The first thing to do is to think why you have to say no to that person. Think of a valid reason which he or she will really understand why you have decided to refuse him or her. The next thing to do is find a right timing and even a place (if the situation is really serious) so that he or she will not feel too disappointed. And lastly, choose the right words to say and be direct to the point. In this way, probably, you will not hurt him or her. (daisy peralta)
