MISINTERPRETATION

Assalamualaikum...

how ya doin', peeps?

I don't know how to explain this, but recently I had been actively blogging.

maybe because it is the semester break and I don't have much to do ( except for the fact that there are a lot to do, stress kicking in, confusion take place, and I still don't know what my role is, yet... ).

OR

maybe this is just the calm before the storm. so, I better take advantage of it, and do anything that I want before I didn't have any time for anything.

OR

since I was writing late at night, the ideas are gushing in non-stop, like a flowing river. before this, night time is for my assignments, lab reports and last minute studies. all this stuffs blocking the ideas from dissolving into my brain (??). haha...

whatever it is, I think this is a proper way to spend time on my hobby, blogging it is... since I was neglecting and ignoring my blogs for almost a semester. I was only posted motivational quotes, just to show that I was actually blogging ( which I didn't... since my heart isn't in it.. hoho)

Ooookaaayyy... back to the topic, I am going to discuss of misinterpretation of me when someone text me ( I don't think I was the only one that was experiencing it...  a lot of us did.. right?? )

Text messaging is a silent communication between two individuals. it is actually a non-verbal communication and always happens when the recipient and the sender were not in the same location. so, it is easy for us to misinterpret the messages.

such as,

you text "I'm really happy to be at work" to your friend, it is supposed to be a confession on how you love you job, but your friends might misinterpret by that you are actually being sarcastic and meant "I really don't want to be at work." this error might be used against you and there is a possibility that your boss will fire you.

you text "whatever" to your friend. what you actually mean is, you leave the decision to your friend completely and fully trusted him/her on the decision. however, your friends might assume that you are actually didn't care at all and were being sarcastic and plain rude. it might destroy your friendship.

lastly, you are being too sensitive about the text and it caused you to be angry to the recipient due to some misunderstanding (it happens to me all the time...). you have the impression that he/she are ordering you around when they are actually asking for your help.

however, this disadvantages can be avoided by the usage of emoticons or any words such as, lol or haha.

so, every time you text someone, make sure he/she got your actual message. use emoticons frequently as it will help you to express your feeling properly. and you can always ask if you don't understand the messages received.  


but, if anyone of this didn't work, just call your friends or meet him/her face-to-face. this is your last resolution but it can also be your first.

well, until then... Assalamualaikum...
