Bloom's Tax in Pirates?

Wanted to link Bloom's Taxonomy to what I am currently doing but found this video.... Interestingly done-clips from Pirates of the Carribean resembling the 6 stages in Bloom's Taxonomy...

I may seem out of my mind but I certainly need things like this to brighten myself up....

Happy holiday to all of you out there, as for me, my nightmare has just begun....

Friday Blue~

Everyone simply loves Friday but not me... Everyone loves weekend to the max but not me... Everyone hates weekdays, same goes to me...

In other words, I hate every single day...

I have no goal not aim, I do not know wat's going on in my career as well as my studies.. I find myself very lost...

This was named the 'no-mood' phase by a friend of mine but how true it is?

I'm still working my ass off; I can no longer find the satisfaction in the work I do...

At times my students cheer me up with their creativity in class, most of the time I find it difficult for me to be happy...

'Happy' seems to be fading off in my dictionary, it has been replaced by anger, agitation, frustration....

Frowning~

After not blogging for quite some time, I am resuming my blogging activity with a very negative entry.... My feelings are clearly depicted in the article below which I stumble upon while reading The Star... I've been thinking, weighing the good and the bad, mulling over and the indecisive me will have to continue frowning for quite some time before making a decision.. It has been long since I feel happy, perhaps the pursuit of unhappiness has engulfed me completely... Only frowns, tears and tantrum, where are my smile, laughter and satisfaction? Sigh~

The pursuit of unhappiness

By JEANISHA WAN

NOBODY in her right mind wants to be unhappy. Everyone wants to pursue happiness. It is our relentless goal to be happy at all times.

If so, why then do we do what is contradictory and make ourselves constantly unhappy?

It is probably due to our reluctance to accept the fact that life IS unfair, and having the idea that we DESERVE certain things.

We feel unhappy because we think we deserve to be appreciated by people – our boss, colleagues, parents, children, even our staff. We feel unhappy because we think we deserve a raise, promotion or more fame, or we want things to go the way we wish, but they don’t.

We feel unhappy that some people get rich instantly through fraudulent means or by mismanaging our money, even as we labour to death. We feel unhappy that being nice did not get us anywhere, while those who were conniving and selfish got to go where they wanted to be.

We feel unhappy because we think that we deserve attention, fair treatment and having people be pleasant to us. That they will thank us, applaud us, heck, even help us. When none of this happens, it makes us tremendously unhappy.

Expecting people to be good and fair is bound to make us unhappy. Because life is NOT fair. It is only when we accept the fact that we deserve nothing, that we will be surprised by goodness and fairness. And, in doing so, find happiness.
