Heya~.. its 4 and i have trouble sleeping.. so i blog.. = )

STRAWBERRY GEn. . .
Does that mean anything to you..? or do i sound like i've been hitting the bottle again..?? *grin*.. if you read the papers yesterday you'd know.. The article is about a man.. he's 25 years old and has jumped 10 jobs in 5 years.. funny thing is that, this is a strange cultural thing in taiwan recently.. why the of all fruit, the strawberry generation, you might ask..?

As in all things in life a cute metaphor eases the tension and brings forth LIGHT..
Thus the "STRAWBERRY" metaphor.. Simply cuz it, as a fruit.. It Bruses easily..
Now it doesn't sound so GLAM all of a sudden eh..? kinda insulting too..
Sounds so sweet but its an outright atack.. mmMm... stings a lil too.. haha..

Maybe as a generation we are Too taken care of.. we don't know hardship..
i know it never seems that way.. we always think our shoes are the hardest to walk a mile in.
and different people go through different lives.. but if you could drop your pride..
and just look at our society for a moment.. at you AND me and all thats around us..
It would seem the TAIWANese aren't the only ones with this problem..

this is just me..
I never once wondered how the dishes magicially seemed to be clean and ready..
when and where i needed them.. when the maid left.. I found out..!
when i was assigned dishes.. i actually complained.. a hell of alot too..
i also complained that mom should pay for my education..
my uni and whatnot.. even got a lil upset about it.. Does she really HAVE to..
hell no.. but I thought so.. she's done so much over the years for me.. yup..
this is a sappy me and my mommy moment~ i'm not gonna lie and be MACHO about it..
So there.. she didn't have to pay a single cent.. but i thought she owed me a LIVING..

I probably am a strawberry.. brought up too well and bruse easily..
well for now that is.. life isn't all doing what we like..
its just an observation..
look at your life.. and see if maybe you ARE that PROVERBEAL strawberry..
