4 wrongs, and still not right

Everybody knows that I works as an HR. They would usually greet me with an annoying question of:

"How did you end up there?"

To which I replied,

"It would be longer than the whole episodes of Harry Potter 7 if I have to tell you the story"

Now, as an HR, I would usually suggests people to go with their passion when it comes to looking for a job. There is no use applying for a job if you have no clue at all about it.

But then again, when I asked peoples, they usually know nothing about their passion. It is essentially a delicate thing. Take me for an example. I like traveling, cars, computers, video games, random oddities, and bit of writing here and there. Naturally, one of those passions supposedly will connect to your job. I still manage to keep all those passions in check all together.

But for passion that is specific for jobs, I would be such a bad example. Back then I use to just totally love video games. I swore to myself that I will someday create a game, become a programmer and all those whiz.

I did actually then learned programming. HTML back in year 8, skinning a winamp skin, learned bit of C++ logic and so on. When I came back to indonesia, in SMA I made a crucial choice of not actually picking IPA and instead went to IPS. The force of the dark side were stronger then :p

Which then shuts the door for me to go to university and studying computer stuff, effectively. But it doesn't matter, because computer and such is a hobby, so I just have to learn it on my free time.

So then I had to learn something and something new to prepared for University. I decided to learn how to write, how to speak in front of public, to go to Communication faculty just like what my mother does. In the end, the plan went ashtray because of my idiot tendency to try silly things. Back then I thought UGM only gives 2 choices, instead they gave me 3. Being not such a clever kid, I naturally think that there is no way I can make it to the 1st choices. So I put communication on number 2 and decided to put one of the highest pick up there, management.

Yes, just for the fun sake of it.

When the announcement came, it just totally shocked me that I have to go to Economics. Oh god. I wasn't really keen, but my parents were looking eager to see me try. Well okay....another passion needed to be pursued then.

Long story short, I studied marketing, taught bit of marketing (and HR), went to microsoft competition as marketing thing, and basically was all marketing.

Look where I am now? :p

So the trend is, I managed to drag myself out of my comfort zone somehow and still lives to tell the tale. Probably I'm gonna be a president or something in the future, you never knows

*yeah right*

How to pick a male related species

Allright,

The reason im writing these is because i got fed up with girls asking for advice whether their romeo is the right one or ehether their romeo is simply a Phantom of the Opera on disguise and ready to jump with a chainsaw ready to break someones heart.

Yes that last part was a bit over exaggerated, but anywho, this so called "guides" is actually really simple. Based on everyday things that boys/men do. I mean, if you dont catch it, well then i think its a hopeless case. On your side :p

Lets get cracking

1. Sporting team

You can safely bet on the Chewbacca's hairy chin that boys/men must have a sporting team that they follow. Whether it be soccer, baseball, soccer, soccer, soccer and soccer (cant think of any other, sorry), they must have one. Unless your man is a bit of a twig who doesnt like sport.

Knowing about it can be as simple as a case of asking what team they support. Trust me, they'll gladly explain that to you. Now is the hard part. Its time to analyze the team. You can sort of have a much more understanding of a person based on the team that they suport. For example, your guy use to support team A, but because they went shitte, he know support team B which is now lots and lots more richer and winning.

isnt that telling something?

the other thing that you can look at is from the team characteristic. Now i know this one is hard for you ladies out there. It is as hard as us men trying to understand why it takes an hour to put on a makeup on you ladies.

I can;t exactly generalize it, but the team that they pick is usually the one that fits their ego, personality, and themselves. In a way, a team characteristic actually mirrors the person who support it.

2. Video Games

Now, as far as i know, finding a guy this days who doesnt like/play games is like trying to find a girl who doesnt wet themselves every time they hear the words Juston Biebor or Twilikht. If you think your men has been playing games too much, it is just their nature. Would you like your men playing around with other girls rather than with a simple video games? i thought so. You'd be an idiot if you put a guy down because of his video game.

But this isnt my point really, my point is, take a look at him when he plays a game. The way they react (calm, shouting, etc) can tells lots about a character of a person. For example Mr A is playing with Mr B. Mr A been kicking Mr B ass'es all over the place. The point is, although Mr B is losing, he wont give up until he can beat Mr A, which he would then shout in joy and gloats "THE WORLD IS MINE BABYYYY"

You see the picture?

Obviously whichever way you'll interpret this is up to you.

3. Take him on a holiday

This is the ultimate. I've emphasized this to god knows how many ladies out there. If you want to see the real characteristic of your men, take him up on a holiday. Whether it be the scorching heat, drenching rain, missing out on a bus/trains/once a month planes, you can see for yourself how your man handles the stress. Or run behind you and told you to handle it all.

No need for further elaboration now i think?

Im off to go and get a pizza. Catch you all later
