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.
