Prince Charming

When girls are little, most of them would have the typical prince charming they would like to meet when they grow up. Mr Prince Charming is the prince who will come to rescue the stressed and endangered princess in need and stereotypically go through a long quest in order to free her from some evil spell. Mr Prince Charming - the name is already saying something; is often handsome at the same time romantic. A hero.

Mature During Employment?

Chinese parents often tell their children at a young age to always work hard for every penny you earn for every penny you have earn reflects the hard-work, sweat and effort you've put in.

I get told I spend a lot of money but I tend to save an amount of money then use it all in one go because I believe there is no point in looking at products you wish to buy but don't have the amount to buy it straight away. If I save up a lump sum, and I see something I like I am able to buy it.

I am a sushi lover, and my favourite fish is Salmon. You guessed it; salmon sashimi, salmon nigiri, salmon hand roll, salmon and avacado iso.. the lot. I landed my job at Yo!Sushi and I got asked at my interview why I think I'd suit to work at Yo!Sushi and what they can bring to me.

My response was, I am happiest when I eat my favourite food - sushi is one of my all time favouite; salmon ones in fact. So why can't I work for a place that does something I enjoy eating when I am happy? People tend to moan about not able to find a job they enjoy or the pay is not what they expect and end up not able to enjoy themselves and slowing down a company.

If I worked at the place, I am likely to be happy because I have direct access to the foods I enjoy and able to earn money at the same time. I have interest in the products and I have a good enough knowledge about it therefore communicating with customers would benefit the most. Who benefits out of it? well, the customer who ask questions, myself and of course the company.

I got told recently I seemed more mature than I used to be since I landed my job. I'm not too sure myself, but I have a more regular sleeping pattern and responsibility seems to have changed and of course I am more talkative and more open to meeting people. But personally, I think my attention span hasn't really improved. Maybe I'm more mature than I was before. But then again, if you are working for a company you are more likely to be responsible for yourself and the company because I'll have direct contact with customers and food that I serve to the customers; if I am not responsible for myself and my health I am likely to bring possible harm to them.

Does this count as responsibility? or me 'learning' to be more mature?

Elections 2010

Less than a month left to go and more and more people seem to think that Labour deserves to lose the election but does this make the Conservatives an instant right to win? Apparently not, rumour has it that an unexpected party is likely to win the race and this will mean the first time in almost 4 decades this new party may be handed the important role.

With the elections coming up in more and more political parties are going head to head and are putting as much effort as they can by criticizing their rival parties. The way is effective, informing the nation that the other parties are lying and by backing their words with data but sometimes I can't help but wonder how reliable are the statistics political parties give?

I never had much idea on the political fields, it never seemed to interest me as much. Maybe I was young and new to the whole politics and the importance of power, the power to speak on behalf of Britain. The power which will give me the power to make changes not only to my life but to everyone else's life.

A year ago I was sent this polling card and for the first time I guess politics began to hit me, having studying Business for the second year I have a very brief knowledge. My vote went to the Conservatives. This year, I am thinking and my views are slowly changing.

Gordan Brown came into power at probably the worst possible time, this applies to Mr. Obama. 2009-2010 is one of the most toughest and more demanding year for both the financial sector and of course politics as all eyes are on them. How will the tax be decided? Public spending? benefits? Immigration?

Reading the news online and watching several new channels and such it seems like political parties are not using the traditional method of explaining what WENT RIGHT in the past year, but in fact they are talking about what WENT WRONG, the biggest topic is the well known financial sector, the whole crisis that struck the whole world affecting everyone from the rich to the poor. This is a good point to argue about but this will mean all eyes will focus on Mr. Gordan Brown with the moments and many claims of him 'bullying' everyone this gives a huge shadow on the Labour party.

Conservatives and Mr. Cameron.. I haven't been paying much attention to them at all honesty however I know he has been trying to attract female votes, with articles in Glamour Magazine or was it Cosmopolitan? I forgot now because I read both but apparently they are considering in offering a 'Discount' if you pay back your University Loan early. It has surely caught my attention. Mrs. Thatcher... hands down.

Liberal Democrats.. Nick Clegg.. I don't really know much about them but with Mr. Vince Cable speaking on regards of the Treasury matter for them were the ones that were the quickest to spot what was needed to be done on the Northern Rock issue as well as the implications of the banking crisis should be broader.

The 3 strongest parties fighting, however why is it that men are the ones that should be in charge of politics? The financial meltdown was caused by bankers and who are the ones that dominates the banking sector? the Males. Politics should actually be run by a Woman. Yes women are emotional and many people believe women should just stay home and have babies oh and do the washing up and cooking.. etc. However that frame of mine should be stopped and people should open their eyes are allow women to dominate the banking sector and politics. If women were more dominating in these sectors maybe we wouldn't have a financial melt down, maybe politics is a complete different matter and history will be made.
