I talked on my pal again. We sort of get into an argument but it end quickly. Wanna share it again. Its about our day and confidence.
Pal: hey sam, so hows first day of school after the March holidays?
Me: well, kinda good.
Pal: well, now that’s a rare answer. I thought u either find school boring or good?
Me: yea well, but today I thought it wasn’t so bad.
Pal: ah, I see. Hows your studies been going?
Me: normal, im still good.
Pal: o…k… teaching your friends?
Me: duh, but they still cant beat me. lol
Pal: ok sam, stop saying that. U sound arrogant.
Me: where got? Its true.
Pal: really? How confident are u in your mid year exams? (or I think he said that)
Me: Ha! VERY. Top 5, confirmed.
Pal: ok, ok. Stop it. Bloody hell, your freaking arrogant.
Me: what? What did I say?
Pal: its not about your what u said. Your tone of voice sounds as if your better than others. And others cant beat u
Me: well, then how u want me to sound?
Pal: be confident, not arrogant. Say I’ll do better by mid year. Don’t say you can beat others.
Me: I didn’t say that. How u know whether whats confidence and arrogance?
Pal: how can u not know?! Confidence can result to arrogance but arrogance will not result to confidence.
Me: huh? What the heck do u mean?
Pal: Confident people will be arrogant at a certain stage, that’s definite, whereby they won the state championship or they have cracked a unsolvable code. But arrogant people are not always confident.
Me: why do u say that?
Pal: bloody shit, Samuel. Listen! Some arrogant people THINK they are smart and they ACT brave and strong. If your asking me, they’re just a hopeless person with a gun. Without that gun, they’re nothing but a pussy. If u continue talking like that, u will have no one left. And some may hate u for that. And I don’t think your that kind of person, ok?
Me: then what kind of person u think I am?
Pal: well, I don’t know. U should ask that to yourself. I cant help u answer that Qn. Your over-confidence is gonna drag you down until u start to listen. That way u wont always have to end off with a argument.
Me: ok… I get it. How can u tell whether im confident or arrogant?
Pal: simple, your tone. So its just a little more than ‘think before u speak’ that kind of thing. I know from the way u talk, many people are gonna refer to u for help, that’s definite. When that happens, you know what to do.
Me: ( dam it, I forgot what I said… I think its…) ok I’ll take it into consideration. Thanks for the talk.
Pal: no, thank you for listening… realize your mistakes, better still, learn from them.
Me: it aint that easy.
Pal: if it was easy, I wouldn’t be saying all that to u. so I’ve heard Sunday ruined your whole holidays.
Me: yea, I tell u later. Gotta go sleep. I guess you and I have another long day again.
Pal: long day? yes. How we see that long day, its up to us.
Me: always and always will be.
I took a very long time to recall almost the whole conversation. I think an hour or so to recall everything. Guess I learn something. Confidence can result to arrogance but arrogance will not result to confidence. Will keep it touch again, pal. Will be in touch real soon…

Movie Review- Body of Lies Rating- 7.7/10
Im sorry for the low score for this movie but it was disappointing. There was only 2 action scenes that caught my attention. The starting part and the last part. Other than that, it was just talking and talking. Unless you know something about business, this movie would seem boring for u. Director Ripley Scott had so much potential. The action was good. Blood was pretty nice. But if it wont for the English subtitles, I would have fallen asleep, no offence. I like Ripley Scott’s older movies. The story behind the Body of Lies is that, throughout the whole movie, everyone seem to be deceiving each other. One lie covering up another lie. The movie could have been so much better…
PS: I didn’t believe I had just type another 1200 over words again. Omg! If you all are reading this, means u must known almost every post is like a compo. But seriously, u cant blame me cos I like writing… or typing, lol!
