now i only realised there is animal communicator? actually overall how do they communication with them? Communicating intuitively with animals means mentally sending and receiving thoughts, images, and emotions. Most animal communicators work from a distance using just a description and do not even see a picture of the animal. Animal talk to each other intuitively and are able to intuitively 'sense' people and the environment very well.
The idea of intuitive communication with animals and nature challenges long-held beliefs, like the beliefs that other species are inferior to humans intellectually and do not have the emotional or spiritual capacity humans do. Most people don't believe they have intuitive abilities, we actually use these abilities every day. Situation are like:-
-Knowing how someone is feeling emotionally or physically
-Realizing that someone is angry or upset even if there is no outward sign.
-Knowing who's on the phone before you pick it up.
-Recognizing when someone is lying to you or trying to manipulate you.
-Thinking about someone and then getting a visit, card or call from that person.
-Knowing how someone else feels about you
-Suddenly feeling an unexplainable dislike or uncertainty about someone or something.

communication clears up misunderstandings
i'd like to share a past experience which i consider to highlight some communication problems.
when i was in form 4, i had this replacement teacher who was transferred to my school for some sort of training program. i dont really remember her name, but i belive its Ms. Pre-something. she replaced for my english teacher. my first impression on her was that she wasnt very friendly because she had such a sour face and carried herself in an almost uptight manner. all the words that came out of her mouth was curt and straight to the point.
the first time she entered the class and introduced herself, she decided to do some literature with us, because that day was literature day and all of my class brought our literature books. so she discussed with us 'The Sound Machine', the story about this inventor who invented a machine that supposedly can hear sounds above and below the normal human range of hearing. so, she talked a little about it and asked some questions, to which she got little response. she then commented that we were passive.
she soon gave up on questions, and instead told us to get into groups and discuss among ourselves the characteristics of the main character. during the course of discussion, a friend of mine said something i found particularly funny, and laughed. it was that exact moment though that Ms. Pre-something looked my way and upon seeing me laughing, she got angry. she accused me of being rude, and asked me what's so funny. i was too bewildered to answer. she then made me stand to answer a literature question. i answered and was allowed to sit but right after that, she snapped.
she said our behaviour was rude, and that we were so passive. and then she commented about me laughing and that did we think its funny to laugh in class? (although i wasnt even laughing at her....) then she said she previously taught in a boarding school and that the students there are so well behaved, unlike us. she told us to review ourselves and that she expected better the next time she comes in. she left the class immediately after saying that.
when she has completely disappeared down the hallway, my entire class was up in an uproar. while some were just flabbergasted, most, including me, were quite upset. we completely didnt understand what she wanted. but by the end of the day, we all decided we didnt like her. so its no wonder the next time she came in, we were all cautious, and even more passive than before. but it was unnecessary, as we were in for a surprise.
she came in and said to us that she discussed with the other teachers about us, and she realized from what they said that she might have been wrong to judge us. she also said that we might have started on the wrong foot, so she was willing to burn the english period that day so that we can start over. firstly, we resolved all the issues that was bothering us. one of my classmates volunteered to ask. the question being that she said we were passive, yet when we discussed and talked, she said we were rude. so what exactly does she want? my classmate also cleared the fact that we werent passive, it just that with a new teacher, the environment is different. we were just warming up to her. we wanted to learn her teaching styles first.
Ms. Pre-something accepted our reasons and apologized before telling us that she shouldnt have compared us to students she taught in the boarding school. she understand that not everyone is the same. we accepted that too, and so no hard feelings. we continued conversing that entire english period getting to know her. after that, we never had problems with her again, and i find that she's actually a pretty nice teacher.
if we never had that clearing up conversation, i may not have felt that way though. we all might have assumed that she was just plain not nice. so because of communication, misunderstandings was cleared up. another thing that i think Ms. Pre-something would have learnt from my class is that assuming students everywhere is the same is wrong. so its important to adapt communication styles to different people and situations.

bizzare Ad translations
translating US ad slogans into other languages doesn't always work.....here are some examples.
in China, a Coca-Cola ad used Chinese symbols to sound out "Coca-Cola" phonectically. the soda company withdrew the ad after learning the symbols "Co" "Ca" "Co" "La" meant "Bite the wax tadpole"
according to a book called The Want Makers, "In Taiwan, Pepsi's 'Come Alive with the Pepsi Generation' was reportedly translated on billboards as 'Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the dead'"
in Brazil, an American airline advertised that its planes had "rendezvous" lounges, not realizing that in Portuguese "rendezvous" means a place to have sex.
in French Canada, Hunt-Wesson attempted to use its "Big John" brand name by translating it into French as "Gros Jos", a colloquial French phrase that denotes a woman with huge breasts.
when General Motors introduced the Chevrolet Nova in Latin America, it was obvious they didn't know their Spanish. ads all across Latin America heralded the arrival of the new, reliable Nova, which in Spanish means "doesn't go."

communication of picture
Everywhere u are, there will be always have picutre. Even though, when we are sleeping; we might dreams picture too. Sometimes, there are some pictures which juz simply use a brush and draw. Who knows it show some meaning of the picture. For example, u draw a love shape on a piece of paper and show alot of meaning. It might mean u draw this love shape for ur love one or u juz draw when u are emotionally down. Sometimes, the love shape has many design and colour which mean might have different meaning.
Fews day ago, a friend told me about a 'meaning' of placing one hand into a photo like this. i was shocked at first but it turned out funny later on. she said to me, never to reveal such a photo because the possibility for someone to take knowledge of one's manhood is on the line. easy to say, 'it' is no longer a secret to the public.

Its been a long long day ... Part II
XOXO, its Phoebe here, your sources to understand human around you.
Believe me, even I don't know there's a part II after what happened yesterday. Remember what I said in my previous blog. I blocked my car in front of ms Debbie? Actually there's another car which i blocked it too. So after I post my previous blog, I went to car park to checked out my car. Here comes the 'part II', someone clamped my car! Great! now what?! I've to pay 50 $ to the security to unlocked my car, and I'm being scolded by him some more.
This is where the misunderstanding happened. Look, its seems that no one care about what happened to me. Yea, that guy might be in a rush and i've wasted his one/two hours waiting for me. I've apologize for that. What else he want?! I've sent my apologizes and I pay the 50$! Due to what had happened to me in the morning, I'm frustrated!!! When someone pissed, they just can't listen one single word you say. I've tried to explain but no one wanna LISTEN to me!!! Listen and hearing are not the same thing! You heard what I said but you didn't listen carefully! Listen for information before evaluating. Please make sure you completly understand what others are talking about then only you make judgement on it. Do not make the judgements with your own feelings and thoughts.
I watched a singoporean movie before, "I'm not stupid too". The film is about the lives of the 15-year-old Tom, his 8-year old brother Jerry, and their friend, the 15-year-old Chengcai. This satirical comedy touches on various issues facing Singaporean teens today, particularly the lack of communication between parents and children, and the lack of appreciation for good deeds.
Parents who worked from morning till midnight. who only give their kids money but no love. Their parents' busy schedules give them little time to spend with their children, leading to a strained relationship. One day, their son (Jerry) was caught for stealing money in the school canteen, and the principle called his parents. They scolded him and asked him why do you want to steal teh money, they hitted him when he don't wanna reply. At last, Jerry said, "I just wanna save 160$ to buy you an hour to come to my performance." Jerry used to asked his parents so many times by leaving stick-it-notes on the freeze. He wrote it everyday and its been a month and his parents haven't notice yet?!
Listening requires effort. People just simply giving faulty assumptions without putting any efforts to listen to it. There are times, where finally they're all together for dinner, Jerry tried to convinced his parents to go, but they just assume that Jerry's performances don't have much VALUE compare to their business and clients.

Its been a long long day....
XOXO, Phoebe here, your sources to understand human around you.
Supposing I should be in college at 8 o'clock in the morning for the 'heart attack' human com class. 1st something happen in the petrol station while I want to fill up my car's tank. And next, all of a sudden, someone BANG my car! You must be kidding God! Then ended up in police station! Great!!! =.=""""""""" By the time I reach college its already 10. things haven't end yet. I can't believe that there's no ONE SINGLE slot left?!!! After 30 minutes of wasting my petrol and going round and round the car park, I just give up!!! I ended up blocking Ms Debbie's car. Hopefully she's not leaving that soon. Anyway, I still manage to attend the other group's human com class and we watch a movie : "College Road Trip".
At the beginning (where I came in the class), its about a young lady,Melanie, going party with her 2 friends but was lying to her overprotective dad that she's going somewhere else.
Melanie: I CAN NEVER talk to the old man!"
Dad : "Me and my daughter have a solid relationship. We CAN talk anything!"
Parents used to think that they have a close-knit relationship with their children which is not true. Teenagers NEVER TELL EVERYTHING to their parents. We keep every things inside, we rather tell our best friends but not our parents. Trust me, cause I'm one of it.
Parents always thought that they can communicate well with their children. Yea, maybe for children but not for teens. Owh, come on folks. You're trying to communicate with a teen while your thoughts still stay in 90's?! Give me a break. During the road trip, in the car, you can see that Mel's dad is trying so hard to communicate with Mel by playing their old songs which Mel don't even want to remember it and to have a "DEEP" talk. But, things just don't work in this way. You can't fix the broken chain in one day. There's a short scene where Mel's mom scolded Trey(Mel's brother) for hiding in the track and follow them to the road trip. After scolding him, she said : I love you, son. Seriously, how many of our parents do thing like these? Yea, it is a small matter, but right after you scolded your son? This is when the relationship get tight, where the children felt LOVE. You scold them because you care about them, you don't want them to go to the wrong path, and when you told them "I love you" cause you really love them. Afterwards, Trey said : Dad, are you still mad at me for following?" And he said : "Son, i can never stand mad at you!" see?
Cultures, made a different family. It shows in the movie too. I beg you never will forget this. Besides Mel's family, there's another family which is the over-react, over-happy, and the karaokes family. Well, that's the way they are. You might find difficulties to go along with them, but that's their family. Everyone have their "Home sweet home" and their own family's culture and traditions. Its what built a family up.
Trustworthy is important among human. Trust your kids. The decisions they made. Sometimes, mistakes makes us grow.
Mel : I want a Dad who loves me, adore me and are proud to raise a daughter like that and trust me!.

Communication with music
have u ever think that a person sing without music izit weird or not? yet a person sing well then different case. however, sing with music still is the best because make the person have confident to sing better and follow the flow of the music it make better of a song when a person sing. How about this, do you know who is the first person sing and create music? actually my ownself dont really know that and where does music from?
Since the beginning of time music has always been a source of communication. Until now, it is one of the most powerful influence, enhance, educate or destroy one's mind. Especially, young minds! No matter what nationality, handing down history or sending information through music breaks all color barriers. I know that last time they need music instrument to play a song but now we can easily get it from computer which is digital sound.
Artistically speaking, social surrounding and personal experiences always seem to affect the music and lyrics of different artist including myself. I'm sure that deep down in the back of your minds there's the desire to want to change things and express yourself.
Music is an Art Form and all art forms use expressions. You can't tell me that if you read where children are being abused, the kids are getting hooked and selling crack on the corners, the KKK is in town, your cousin got shot at a party, your child is gay, your country is at war, someone in your family is dying from some disease, your neighbor got raped by the man down the street or people are being abused and murdered by the police that you can express yourself artistically without thinking of these things. These thoughts have to come out at sometime during the course of your artistic creativities. It's the POWER OF COMMUNICATION !

Bas Mini Trip
Yesterday, I went for a steamboat dinner with my friends nearby Sunway Pyramid. We ate until 9.30 at night. Due to the fact that the whole gang of us do not have our own transports, we were wondering around the restaurant to find a teksi to go home. Unfortunately, we didn't get it, so we walk back to Sunway Pyramid because it will be easier to get a public transport at the shopping complex.
After some distance of walking, we finally reach Sunway Pyramid. We actually saw a lot of teksi standing by at there and also a BAS MINI waiting there. Suddenly, 1 of my friend suggested us to take the Bas Mini instead of teksi as it costs only 70cent compare to rm3 for teksi and he say it takes only 5minutes more than a teksi to reach our home which is at subang jaya ss15. The only disadvantage is that there is no air-conditioned provided. However, we decided to save some money, so we just pay to the bus driver and went in the little bus.
Things unusual happen as we realized that the route was a bit different today, instead of turning right as usual, the driver turn left, but we still thought it is inside Subang Jaya so we stay stable. After some time, we start to mumbling with each other as we have been sitting in the bus for about 30minutes as normally we only need 10 minutes to reach home. Later on, the bus even cross a toll. We start discussing whats the problem today, and i went on to ask the driver and questioned him he don't pass by our place today. Oh, my god!!!!! He told me that the route is different for this trip and he also pointed that the signboard had already shown in front but none of us realized. Finally, we went down at a petrol station after the toll. We did stop some teksi to ask for the prices to back home but it was really costly, so one of my friend called her sister and she fetched us home.
As a conclusion, this incident actually happened just because of the lack of communication between us and the bus driver. We did not take the trouble to ask the driver earlier even we were not sure where the bus is going. It teaches us to ask as soon as possible whenever we are not sure on anything.

i went to the library the other day and found a book about communication. and in the book, surprisingly, i found this!
the triangular theory of love developed by psychologist Robert Sternberg. i never knew that it was a part of communication. my friend and i were just discussing this theory recently. it basically categorizes love in the context of interpersonal relationship by three different components, which are intimacy, passion and commitment.
the perfect love, consummate love, would involve all three components. and all the other six categories lack one of two of the three components. but because consummate love is so hard to achieve and even though achieved, harder to maintain, my friend and i were debating on whether romantic love or companionate love is better. was it better to lack commitment or passion in a relationship?
another thing i noticed is that the three on the bottom half of the triangle(infatuation, fatuous and empty love) all lack one particular component, which the other four all have, which is intimacy. the fact that the four also seem to me as more ideal types of love led me to one conclusion. intimacy is very important in a relationship. as it is the definition of intimacy : Which encompasses feelings of closeness, connectedness, and bondedness
