LOOKING FORWARD to February

Happy Valentines Week everyone

Last Saturday I went to learn line dancing at a Hmong dance hall.  By the end of the night ,the hall was filled with people, and everyone was dancing to hip hop.  It was nice to see the comradery among the asian elders, and some of the dancing reminded me a mix between country line dance and Hawaiian dance.

On Wednesday, a friend stopped by my place to give my son this pickachu hat, whose ears flap with each tug of its handle.

I was reading quora and found these fun psychological tricks.

1.On an airplane, if your seatmate is hogging the armrest or being too chatty, just grab the barf bag. Works every time.

2. When you're in an argument, find something to agree on, then push your main point.

3. Be direct and personal when you need things. Instead of asking IF anyone has an EpiPen, ask WHO has an EpiPen.

4. Want to make people instantly like you? Spill you coffee.

Seem weird? But a lot of studies confirm that pointing out our vulnerability actually increases our attractiveness and trustworthiness. BUT you have to make sure they already know you’re credible.

5. When you need to find out a name eg for a lead, you say ‘Oh is John still managing up there?’ They go ‘no it’s Mark now.’ Works with anything, just use a fake.

6. If you look happy to see someone every time you see them, they will eventually be happy to see you.
