About Me




I go by the name of Marla currently studying at University of St. La Salle, taking up AB Communication, I play badminton occasionally (for my P.E. class), I like surfing the net (social net working), and I also like watching T.V., I love reading books especially the novels of Paulo Coelho and Mitch Album. These authors influence me on how I see life. That life would be complicated if you think that way, that we just need to look out side of the box to see a much simpler and more accurate solution to our problems. We usually ignore the things that matters most in life, our family, friends, the laughter, the lesson we learned on our journey, the blessing that we receive, etc. We focus too much on material things that we forgot the real essence of life; life has a lot to offer, we just need to learn to appreciate it we should learn to count our blessing (count the things that you already have not the things the you don't have). This realization made me strong willed person, goal-oriented, optimistic, and full of hope.  On the other hand, I hide my real emotion by joking around as if nothings wrong, defense mechanism that I learned in the process of maturity, simply because I don't want to spread my negative aura, so I change my negative aura to positive. I don't let my problems get the best of me, I believe that problem and mistake are part of our development as a person.

Communication Differences



 
What do you think about the differences of communication of the boy’s and the girls? Well, for me I find it really funny, can you imagine we live in the same place (country) and still we couldn’t understand what the opposite sex is trying to say to us. We girls should not expect that the guys will act in the way that we will act in a certain situation or interact with others the way we do. Here are some differences in communication between male and female:
Ø  Women are more likely to talk to other women when they have a problem. Men keep their problems to themselves and don’t see the point in sharing personal issues.
Ø  If women have a disagreement with each other it affects all aspects of their relationship.
Ø  Men only nod their heads when they agree. Women tries to justify why she agree on it.
Ø  Men can have a disagreement, move on to another subject. But female has what I call the repeat syndrome (I’m Guilty), We tend to repeat and repeat the topic until we had enough for the day, but the next time you did something wrong, I will remind of what you did.
See what I mean! These are some of the differences between the male and the female communication. Men has their own style in communication and we have are own, so it’s best to meet half way and try to understand each other to avoid miss-communication.
