Proverbs around the corner

"Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive tons of shit."

Beautiful love story

Last night, I have watched KBS World. There was show called "Chitchat with Beautiful Ladies." Multicultural talk show with Korean and foreign women, exchanging their experience and views on foreign and Korean cultures. Well, it got my attention alright. But it turned into something I have never expected. On the panel speakers, there was one Mongolian girls, T.Zolzaya! Obviously I was proud. But then things turned like magic. This girlie talk show turned into romantic dream. One guy confessed in love with one of the panelists and came to the show. And guess what? It was the ex-boyfriend of Zolzaya!!! So, romantic, so cute! Oh my god! It was better than any movie I ever watched. My heart melted and my eyes were teary. I cried! Here is the links to the show.

I could not find the one with English subtitle. I don't speak Korean, if you do... just watch and melt your heart. Beautiful story!

At least I should...

Dear all,

Good morning/day/evening to you all!

Last few weeks have been busy, busy weeks for me. I have changed my job and now I'm a "busy"ness woman :) However, sometimes one just have to pull him/herself from the work and give yourself time to relax. And, I am doing exactly that right now :) I'm updating my dear blogs.

Well, it has snowed last two days here in UB. It is beautiful and refreshing. The air is more clear and clean, during morning and day times. Obviously, it is awful at night time, as usual, full with fumes and smokes coming from ger area. Officials, talked and talked like some kind of parrots for years, to diminish the air pollution in UB, but nothing significant has been done.
With bad air comes the health problems. The number of young and elders with cold and flu symtoms accepted to hospital wards have dramatically increased, pointing to an urgent need for drastic actions to remove the air pollutants from the city.
That aside, one more bad thing, which everybody knows, is traffic. The city was planned for no more than 500,000 people, and its capacity has been overfilled long time ago, when the city residents exceeded 1 million, somewhere in 2004-2005. I wonder how people live in bigger and more crammed cities like New York or Hong Kong? The number of vehicles is increased by 20-30,000 annually. Imagine, little tiny roads, with more than 150,000 cars. Every 8th person drives in the city, ke ke. Very funny.
OK, so I got off my steam by writing depressing stuff. Enjoy the day people! :)
Later!

Oh man ... sorry ya'll

Oh man! (scratching my head and rubbing my hands) It's been like weeks since my last post. Been bit busy though, with ma job, myself, etc. Sometimes life is so hectic, that you don't have time even for yourself. So, I guess it was one of those times. Argued with some of ma online and even real life friends as well. Guess, I'm stressed. As you know, it was 15th anniversary of the company that I work for. The logistics was huge and everybody was pitching in to make the events happen for more than thousand people :)
So, now you think I'm better off and relatively free? Well, partly yes and partly no :) We have a new boss, thus we are just packed with new jobs or old ones and we are starting where it is left off. Overall, big changes happened and we are stressed :)
Nothing unusual in my private life, as a single mom in town. There are literally thousands of them here in UB anyways, I guess I'm not taboo in this culture anymore he he he :)

Don't know why I am putting this photo on my post, but I love it. This cute puppy saying "I'm sorry!" :)

Why do we even bother

Why do we even bother to lift our asses from the bed each morning? Why do I bother to wake up and sleep walk to the kitchen and prepare breakfast? It was gloomy bit breezy morning of October 21, 2008.
Weatherman said it'll snow, still gloomy, but no snow yet. Winter is coming, people. Get your warm clothes, prepare your hats and mittens. It is going to be a snow fight soon :)
I need to wake up... I smell coffee... Need a cig...

Living Next Door to ...

"Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, Or where she's gonna go, I guess she's got her reasons, But I just don't want to know, 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice. Who the fuck is Alice?" This is what we sing at the karaoke he he.
Living next door to someone is a privilege and also a burden. Nowadays, getting to know our neighbors is a weird, scarce chance in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
In old times, Mongolian nomads, used to know each other well, even though the next door neighbor would be in 2-3 km. Strangers were no strangers, people were friendly and warm.
What happened when people started urbanizing? They have become more estranged, more cold to next door neighbors. One barely seen its next door neighbor.
We need good relationship with our neighbors, but when you approach someone, they'll raise their eyebrows, be shocked and close their door on your nose.
So weird. It used to be so different, when I was a child. I used to play with girls from my apartment building. And now, I am afraid to let my child go outside by its own. Mistrust, fear have grown deeply in our hearts. What to do?


My Heart

My heart is empty and its lost
In the midst of the frost
Paused its search for love

Made In Mongolia

It has been almost a year, since I started this blog. When I look back, most of my articles were somewhat criticizing. I do like to criticize, but obviously there has to be some threshold to it. I do not manufacture anything, I do not produce and goods or services, in fact I do not contribute any good ideas or solutions to the society. So who am I to criticize? However, this is my personal space, thus I write whatever I want to, that is to exercise my freedom of speech. :)

Anyways, this time I want to write something that I and my fellow citizens of Mongolia all should be proud of.
1. Trolleybus. We are making our very own trolleybus. Previously, Mongolia imported trolleybuses from Russia. Now, we can produce electricity and trolleybus domestically, making some part of our public transportation independent from fuel (mostly imported from Russia) and machinery (also imported from Russia).


2. Cashmere products. As the world knows, Mongolia is famous for its good quality, low price cashmere products. There are many manufacturers that produce fashionable goods from cashmere, such as Gobi, Goyo, Altai Cashmere, etc. Only things missing here are good marketing techniques and competitiveness.


3. People. Given the rough weather, high inflation, low salaries, and inadequate health services, Mongolian people are still striving to live full life. We see light in every darkness comes upon us. We jumped with joy when Mongolians won two gold medals from Beijing Olympics. We forgave the Government for the July 1 riots and 6 deaths. Every citizen is doing his/her best to contribute to the economy, to better their lives.


4. Sumo. Mongolian wrestlers are dominating Japanese Sumo!



These are only few examples of things that makes me cry when our national anthem sounds.
I am proud to be Mongolian!

Bye My Friend

Well, it has been almost half-year, since my friend Ots started whining about my blog. He said it was interesting, but it was all about me. He didn't like the fact that there was nothing about my friends, especially about him he he. So, here we go. This piece is dedicated to you Ots :)

He worked with me for the last 13 months. We shared the same office hall, same interests, same smoking area, and in fact, we had same type of cars. We used to be good friends, smoking buddies, gossipers, and coworkers. His wife is pretty and successful, his son is cute and clever. He has a good career ahead of him. I envy him :)
Unfortunately, he left us for better future. I obviously support his decision and wish him well. All of us at the company, wish you good luck and will always miss your distinct laugh Ots :) Hope we will remain good friends for many years to come!

Cheers!

Awaiting for My Prince... at 30s

Still awaiting for my prince, I've become no longer a princess but an old maid. Ke ke ke. Ironic, but true. Too long to wait, too many nights spent alone. Still cannot find the true man. One is too short, one is alcoholic, one is unemployed, one is too fat, one is too brutal, etc, etc. This list will go one for so long that might little cute hands might get tired. What to do? Wait. But for how long? I don't know. This is the conversation I have with myself. Have I missed my one knight or he has not arrived yet? Or even worse, he will never show up? Ke ke ke.

It is hard to please a woman at such age (I'm not that old, but will not be considered young by many) with her little, but vital experience, with her already biased opinions towards men. It is hard to affect her lifestyle as well. She is used to getting things done and placed her away. She will be bossy, less caring, less romantic, less flexible. What kind of man she wants? More caring, more romantic, more flexible, but well established. Do you see the contrast? Can you point at the disparity?

So, poor women like me, wait and wait, dreaming of their Prince on the White Horse, who in reality will be either young homeboy with no life experience, or well established cold hearted "master," or man by appearance and baby by heart, or ... unlimited list...

I'm not here to complain, just here to tell you our stories. Our side of the ridiculous and ironic poetry, which is so beautifully written with pain, loneliness, and passion.

What do we want?! WE DON'T KNOW :)

Nine words women use...

To all men out there, please read this warning message :)

1. Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
2. Five Minutes : If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing : This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with Nothing usually end in Fine.

4. Go Ahead : This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!

5. Loud Sigh : This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about Nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of Nothing.)

6. That’s Okay : This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks : A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you’re welcome.

8. Whatever : Is a women’s way of saying F*** OFF! or F*** YOU!

9. Don’t worry about it, I got it:
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to #3.

Homer Simpson vs. Mr.Big

Homer J. Simpson, the legendary character from longest running cartoon show, The Simpsons.
He is representative of men, who is: kind, lazy, relaxed, loyal and loving husband, likes to drink, good at his heart, but lacks the initiative to show it. I think he represents most family men, who does not know how to cook, but would feed the family somehow in times of need; loves his wife, but have no good communication tools; lazy, but would somehow finds his way out of financial crisis for his family; not sexy, but good and kind; bald and with beer belly, and obviously not confident and not funny when it comes to women.

Another type of men, like Mr.Big in Sex and the City. Successful, and obviously not family type. Hard working, elegant, never drinks too much, bit cold, calculative and selfish. In other words, good behaving - bad boy. Women are attracted to this type of city men more than to family type, 'cause they promise more excitement, more adventure, more confident, knows what he and women want, etc.

What women really want is a guy that has confidence. A guy that can see them, want to start a conversation and in that moment – be able to walk over and actually start an interaction with them.

It is only at the beginning of the relationship. When relationship becomes serious, as Kerry Bradshaw, women expect Mr.Big type to change to more of Homer type. Women expect city single man turn into country family man. Is it possible? Not likely, only when men themselves want to change, it could happen. You cannot turn dog into a cat or vice verse. Obviously, single confident guys would want to build a family one day. How will they transform themselves, is mystery to us.

So the choice is ours, who do we want. Hard headed Mr.Big or softy Homer Simpson?

It is Tuesday, alright ...

Well, another Tuesday dawns upon us. Second day of a new week. I don't know if it is new day, new week anymore. Is it really NEW or just continuum of old?
What is new? When you wish for fresh new start, don't you wish for "blank page"? I do. But, as reality hits, there is never a "blank page." It is always somehow branded, written on, or drawn on. For example, let us examine new baby. It is already written within his/her genes that she will have certain attitudes, behavior, and looks inherited from his/her parents. So, it is not brand new. Or what about new inventions or technologies? It is never brand new. It always inherits some of its components from the old. So, the saying "New is forgotten old" is true. If I want to start new things, it will be influenced by my prejudice, experience, and biased by external information. So even the start is not a start, it is just a continuation of old. Too philosophical? I know.

Weird but...

It was very weird to see him for the second time. But when I see him, my knees go weak, I feel butterflies in my stomach. He is not handsome or flashy. He is not confident. He is just a guy. Nothing special, and yet I feel like a small girl when I see him. My cheeks blush. Thank god that we do not meet everyday, otherwise, I guess, I would have gone to him to ask his phone number. How dumb of me :)

"Why?" I ask myself. Why this guy that make me weak and strong at the same time. Is he my type? Well, maybe outside, but personality is not. I don't know anymore what I like in guys. Strong guys obviously lure me with their confidence, knowledge, experience, ability to live. Soft guys also face-promise the warmth, care, and love. Been searching for the golden middle and yet not found him. Man oh man!

What is so special about him? He has very quite and soft voice. His eyes! It is magnetizing! I cannot stop myself from looking at his eyes when he appears in front of me. I know it is just lust, but it makes me feel alive! I feel alive! Please, be next to me, to feel that rush of blood, excitement, and adrenalin!

Persistent person

How to save oneself from persistent individuals? Does persistence really pay off?
In my life, I have seen many individuals with persistence, who do not "give up easily". In many matters, I agree that persistence does pays off. In study, work, goal achievement, persistence is a MUST.
However, I guess there are events and issues, where persistence acts in negative ways. One is human relationship. Be it between friends, lovers, or coworkers, persistence seem to be interpreted as irritating, disturbing, and maddening. In my case, I have encountered some men to be very persistent, that is maddening. They do not know the boundary of one's space, they do not take NO for an answer, they want the whole world revolve around them.
God forbid them to act such, as there is no cure for them. Please make them realize and open their eyes! :)

Environment vs. Health and Entertainment

With coming of cold seasons, we are all petrified of bad pollution in UB. Many projects are racing time to reduce the pollution that hunts down the UB with winter. Most of these projects are environmentally friendly, for example Mongolian First Wind Park project, that deploys renewable energy source of wind to generate the electricity, without using any coal or fuel. There are many others that either try to reduce the air pollution by not burning much coal, or trying to modify the traditional way of burning coal, such as coal briquette. One noteworthy project is Ski Resort in Bogd Mountain area. The Bogd Mountain lays in special protected area. Citizens are devastated about the environmental damage that Ski resort project is causing to special protected area. However, the developers are arguing that this Resort will provide the UB citizens with new, healthy way to spend their leisure time. It makes me sick how they are trying to persuade the ordinary people. Is it going to be affordable to ordinary citizens? I don't think so. Logically thinking, it will be expensive to ski on that resort, as the developers will try to earn as much as possible to cover their construction costs. I would not be amazed, if few hours of entertainment in the Ski Resort will cost about 40,000 - 50,000MNT. So, those who are struggling with everyday life cannot simply afford to go there once a year.

So, for whom this Ski Resort is being built? For rich and foreign? Therefore, is it OK to devastate the wild nature to make entertainment for minority?

First Gold Medal

First ever Olympic Gold medal for Mongolia was won by N. Tuvshinbayar yesterday at Beijing Olympic Games 2008 in Judo 100kg wrestling competition. Mongolia in its Olympic history never won a gold medal, and yesterday was the first time. The whole nation watched the match with excitement. After winning of the medal, everybody celebrated the golden moment. Residents of UB gathered at Sukhbaatar squire to cheer and celebrate its national glory. Even the President, Mr. Enkhbayar, Prime Minister, Mr. Bayar was there, half-drunk cheering for Tuvshinbayar.

It was weird to think that only a month ago, this square was a "battle" ground for clashed between public and police, where 5 people where shot dead by the police. Now, it was filled with joy, cheering and happiness.
This man brought to its nation not only the gold medal, but unity, peace and joy to the minds of the common. Let's cheer and pray for him and other members of Mongolian team in Beijing!

Losing Weight

I am trying to loose weight. There are many and many ways to do that according to media. The easiest ones are to take pills, and wait for them to work the wonders on your body. Hardest ones is to get on diet and exercise. I have been fighting my weight off for long time now and tried many ways. Took pills that suppressed my appetite. It worked, but when the pills are finished, I got back on old eating habits. I eat much more when I am stressed or depressed. The pills are expensive. You cannot take the through your whole life, that's for sure, as they will damage your liver and other internal organs. I also tried exercising in gym with my friends. Then again, I couldn't keep it up as a routine. I didn't have strength and consistency to exercise. I have low self esteem and too weak to exercise on my own without anyones' force. Next, I tried to go on diet. And again, failed. Whenever I got stressed I wanted to eat, especially sweet things. I know I have to treat the roots of my mental instability and be as relaxed as possible. However, my life does not permit me to do so for now. I do not know if it in future. So you can easily see how weak willed I am. Now, I have put another goal to loose some weight, but not sure to which type of loosing I should stick to. My friend is suggesting me to go swimming. I hope I can have time to do so and will do so. Will get back with the results he he. Please scold me if I'm getting off my truck and support me. Thanks! :)

Setting Up a Ger



Some of us no longer live in gers and almost do not know anything about gers, how to set up, take it down, and even how to live in it! Let us LEARN then how to set up (above) and take it down (below). Shame on us, young Mongolians! :)

Greedy Women

Women, aren't we all greedy? I believe that every woman is born with some level of greediness. It's development depends on the personality and the environment you are grown up. All women love jewelery. We all LOVE diamonds, don't we girls :) We are also greedy for love, for passion, for care, for life... Don't you ever dreamed of prince on white horse giving you a dimond ring and proposing to you? I guess every girl dreams of this moment, but it never may come. If you are presented with a diamond ring and no Prince Charming, would you accept it for the sake of your life? Or if the Prince comes with no ring, would you love him the same? I blamed so many girls for marrying the rich guys without love. Many married to enhance their and their family lives, but do they life happily ever after? I still believe in marriage by love. I would obviously prefer love than money or diamonds. Please don't be mistaken that I have had such proposal, just been thinking about this for a moment. And honestly, I would be puzzled if I ever received such offer. Love vs. Money. Will I be as greedy as some girls, or I will try to stay true to my heart?

25 Things You Should Never Apologize for:

1. Never apologize for pursuing what makes you happy. Even if you need to quit your job, transfer schools, or move across country, always do what you really want.

2. Never apologize for using proper English. Keeping it real doesn't mean speaking Ebonics.

3. Never apologize for giving your best in a relationship that just didn't work out.

4. Never apologize for being successful. Only haters want to keep you at their level.

5. Never apologize for crying. Wear waterproof mascara and express yourself.

6. Never apologize for the ten pounds you need to lose. People who truly care about you will accept you as you are.

7. Never apologize for being frugal. Just because you save your money rather than blowing it on the latest fashion emergency doesn't mean you're cheap.

8. Don't apologize for being a single Mom. Babies are blessings not mistakes.

9. Never apologize for treating yourself to something special. Whether it's a great dinner, a soothing facial or a banging outfit, sometimes you have to show yourself some appreciation.

10. Never apologize for leaving an abusive relationship. Your safety should always be a priority.

11. Never apologize for keeping the ring even if the wedding bells won't chime. Hey, it was a gift.

12. Never apologize for setting high standards in relationships. You know what you can tolerate and what simply gets on your last nerve.

13. Never apologize for saying NO.

14. Never apologize for asking for what you want in bed. If you don't, then who will?

15. Never apologize for wearing a weave. You bought it so it's yours.

16. Never apologize to your new friends about old friends. There's a reason why she's been your girl since day one.

17. Never apologize for ordering dessert, or more than one dessert.

18. Never apologize for dating outside your race. Just because you found Mr. Right across the color line doesn't mean you don't love the brothas.

19. Never apologize for asking him to wear a condom. If he really likes you he'll wrap it up without making you feel guilty.

20. Never apologize for not knowing how to cook. Even if you can't burn like Grandma, you know how to order good take-out.

21. Never apologize for your taste in clothing. It's your style.

22. Never apologize for changing your mind.

23. Never apologize for exercising your right to choose. It's your body and your life.

24. Never apologize for making more money than your man makes. You work hard and you deserve to get paid.

25. Never apologize for being you!

Again, more about me

Most people, if not everyone, make shabby decisions, stupid mistakes, and wrong judgments. Is it right to just accept them as part of the life or you should strive not to make them?

Shabby decisions or bad decision making is my trait or brand. I'm indecisive. I always struggled and fought inside my head to make my decisions. I'm not the master of decisions, but try to thin rational. I'm good at arguing for the case, however not the leader or the one to make decisions. Is there something wrong, shall I change?

Obviously mistakes should be avoided, but don't we learn more from our mistakes rather than our glory? Personally, I think mistakes are unavoidable part of our life and we learn through them to be better individual. Do I learn from mine? Sometimes, I think that I get some positive and some negative effects from my mistakes. Each time, no matter big or small, I make mistakes I become stiff, rigid, selfish, lonely, or in another words, tough woman. Then there is question: Does mistakes make us adversely tough? Does it mean, if we make fewer mistakes, we will be less selfish, sociable etc.? Maybe...

I try not to judge people, but I do that everyday. Doesn't matter who, when, why... I judge them. With my comments, suggestions, vision, or just slipped words, I judge them. And only after that I think, "who am I to judge?" I thought I was less judgmental, free spirited, open minded person. But as life proves me wrong, I realize that I'm traditional, stubborn, and rigid to new changes. How come I am the opposite of what I thought to be myself?

Joke

Man checked into a hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send a mail to his wife. However, he accidentally typed a wrong address, and without realizing he sent the mail. Meanwhile Somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral.

The widow decided to check her mail, expecting condolence messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she fainted. The son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My Loving Wife,
Subject: I've reached.

I know you are surprised to hear from me. They have Computers here, and we are allowed to send mails to loved ones. I've just reached and have been checked in.
I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival 2mrrow. See you my love!

Licking someone's butt

I am proposing all Mongolian people to stop "licking someone's butt." Today, is impossible to drive anywhere in UB. Just cause some Chinese official in the town! You can express your respect and gratitude, but not by blocking roads all over the town. It is creating unnecessary traffic. I never seen such blocking except in Mongolia, just for passing through the high authority. When are we going to loose the habit of licking butts of high authority? We are free people with free will. How come do we have to waste our time and money just to wait for some dumb ass to cross by? Dumb people in the government and parliament, change the stupid rule! So stressing! It took me almost 1.5 hours going from 19th to 13th microdistrict this morning, when it is suppose to have the lightest traffic. It is the psychoogy that we need to change in order to progress into Western thinking, that we are striving to build.

The Miracle of a Baby

I think that conception of baby in mother's womb is miracle that one cannot grasp fully. Obviously, science explains in every detail the process from the single cells until the birth. However, "How and Why" are still not answered. Every time I see my child, I wonder how and why God chose me to give me this gift. I will be forever thankful to God that it has given me a chance to have this "bundle of joy."

I think every mother wonders, "how could it be that life has grown inside me? Isn't it a miracle that I gave birth to live human being...? "


I believe that every birth is a miracle itself. Just imagine "a dot" turning into live and kicking baby!






Viva to God!

Do I sound religous? Naaah, I am not. I'm theist, remember :)
