the endorphins don't suck either

I completed a 3.4km run in 45min!!!! After a week's break at that! ^^ whee~

Hmm, there's nothing much going on really. Friends come and go. Some are always there, you've just got to pick up the threads. Some were never there at all. Mostly, they just come across your path every once in a while. Its alright really. I'm happy. muahuahua. jogging is good for yer mood. pffffftttt.

Well I borrowed some of Dora's drawings (which are awesome @@) and scanned them. You can head over to my deviantart's homepage to check them out. I think I'm gna help her set up an account over there. She'll be good @@. Like weally weally weally good. From pen and paper to pure art. *respect duuuuude*

Which reminds me I'm behind in my picture taking. = =" blehhh.

Hmmm...I've got my May timetable for the AS exams. ick. Time to grind.

i've got mail...

TWO TRUE STORIES ABOUT RACISM

1) I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show where her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if the statements about race he was accused of saying were true.

Statements like: "If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish and Asians would buy my clothes, I WOULD NOT have made them so nice. I wish these people would NOT buy my clothes, as they are made for upper class white people."

His answer to Oprah was a simple "YES".
Where after she immediately asked him to leave her show.

My suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger. Let's give him what he asked for. Let's not buy his clothes, let's put him in a financial state where he himself will not be able to afford the ridiculous prices he puts on his clothes. BOYCOTT.

PLEASE SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW. Then send it to the whole community that's not white people and see the result. We have to see the result of unity.

Let's find out if Non-whites really play such a small part in the world. Stop buying any range of their product, perfume, cosmetics, clothes, bags, etc.

2) Scene took place on a British Airways flight between Johannesburg and London.

A White woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man.
Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess. "Madam, what is
the matter," the hostess asked. "You obviously do not see it then?" she
responded. "You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next to
someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat."
"Be calm please," the hostess replied. "Almost all the places on this flight is taken.

I will go to see if another place is available." The Hostess went
away and then came back a few minutes later. "Madam, Just as I thought,
there are no other available seats in the economy class. I spoke to the
captain and he informed me that there is a seat in the business class.
All the same, we still have one place in the first class."

Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued: "It is not usual for our
company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the first class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting." She turned to the black guy, and said, "Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first class." At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just witnessed stood up and applauded.

Both the above are true stories. If You are against racism, please send this message to all your friends.

I cooked!




I cooked dinner! Wahahaha. Its called "ayam mutiara" (pearl chicken). Don't ask me why. I call it marinated chicken with lotsa big onions. Harharhar. ^^ It tastes good, and everyone's healthy. Whee~.

Well, I finally installed Photoshop, so I'm back to my deviating ways. I think I lost my creative side though because I can't think of a thing to do with all the raw pictures that I have. = =" Ahhh rusty rusty rusty.

At the moment, I'm munching on Cheetos Puffs. Dangerously cheesy. Mmmm... *showing orange fangs*

Nothing much interesting happened. I've taken up jogging. My latest feat is 2.4km. Surprised the hell outta me too. Its weird because I don't feel tired when I'm jogging, but right after I stop jogging, which is when I'm walking, I get all breathless and dizzy. I see stars. Lol. O well, a new phenomenon to look forward to, seeing if I'll pass out everytime after I jog more than 2km. Wahahaha. If I'm lucky maybe the soles of my shoes will drop off too.

So anyhoo, I'll update more once my mind gets into gear again. Tataaa~.

Hmm...that's so not me. Later dudes. Pfft.

stick between spokes

this week has been totally f*cked up for me. and according to my logical brain, its going to get worse. so, i apologise for the crude words and the no-posting. stuff happened, i just haven't gotten round to typing them out yet. i'll do that soon. i'm also going to change the layout of everything. pinker pls lemme know if you still wana join in ya? in any case, im changing everything. if i have the time. lol. there's never enough of it.

i've got a ton of things to do, and i'm not good company. its "screw the world!" time. harharhar.

you know, sometimes i really wish that one day i'd wake up to find there was no one in the world but me. and maybe a fewwww people i'd like to have around. i hate all this people business. skirting round feelings and whodidwhatforwhatdumbreason/gossip. i don't freaking care if you want to get some guy's attention. i don't freaking care if you think the movie's boring. i don't freaking care if your bloody relatives can't control their feelings. i don't freaking care if you can't find your own sh*t that you lost.

i'm sick of having to keep people happy all the time you know? not when its at my own expense. well suuuuure i do it sometimes, when i can. but this, this is overdrive. and overdrive means payback time.

the quirks of technology

my external 40gb hard drive is currently in the freezer because it died on me. i can't use it, i can't format it. i can't do a thing with it. *sob*

so, thanks to Syn and some research, i decided to give it a shot. pfft. in 30 min time, i'll find out if it worked or not. if it doesn't, i'm gna be dead meat when my mom finds out. really.

well. the wait begins.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..............

*sob*

wadodidooooo wadoidoooooooooooooo....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IT BLOODY WORKED!!!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IT WORKED!

I was able to format my baby! XD

I took it out from the freezer right after Syn said all that. So, it was only in the freeze for 15min. I let it thaw, and it condensed on the outside. That made me panic because I had no clue what was happening inside. XD I don't have any screwdrivers small enough to unscrew the screws. wahahah. unscrew the screws.

Anyway, so yeah I put the whole thing in the freezer, casing and all. I took it out. It condensed. I thawed. I plugged it in and it formatted!!!!!! XD

*heart whoever came up with this freezing idea*

hahahahahha.....mummy won't have to know ^^

Do you read?

I was wondering why do our nails grow? I mean I know our body's biologically programmed to grow our nails, but for what purpose? We don't do anything with them aside from chewing on them or painting them or scratching annoying people. Nothing important really. Then I thought, if I was back in the no-clothes age, roaming jungles and deserts, my nails would definitely be a tool. Think about it, we wouldn't have any knives or something sharp to ply a coconut open. Ok, maybe not a coconut but something softer laaa. Our nails would so definitely be abraded from all that friction. That's why there's growth huh? To sustain our sharp keratins. =p So like, since we're wayyyy past that nail biting age, won't we lose our nails one day, in the process of evolution? Nailless fingers in year 5000. o.O interesting huh?

Yeah my mind wandered. I've been living in my thoughts the past few days. I get so annoyed easily. I think I hurt people with words too. Can't seem to stop and think before I speak. Tsk. But then, I like to think that if friendship is strong, then its going to last in spite of verbal abuse and other little stuff long-term friends are meant to get over.

I'm binging on food too. I don't know whats wrong with me. So emo eater.

Getting back with all the Angela girls is great. I haven't had so much fun in 3 years. But I know it won't last, when everyone starts to find their ways again. I guess it would be just a nice phase in this year of college.

You know, I don't really like people who don't read. It just shows in their personality. Books are everything you can ever dream of. Hell, I've even found things I can't begin to dream of, but its there. Diana Wynne Jones makes my brain spin in the skull, but I love it because nothing can pry me out of this world better than her. JK Rowling made me almost believe wingardium leviosa would make my physics teacher defy the laws of gravity. *snicker* Dan Brown made me go woah! so many freakin' times. Imagination is everything that makes life today worth living.

And people who don't read are the dullest persons I have ever met, in my opinion. Really. What else is there to talk about if not the philosophies of some fictional character, or the mysterious goals of some famous inventor? Or the most dysfunctional non-existent character you can ever think of?

The television won't ever be up in rank with books in terms of life. That bundle of papers in your hand will be everything your brain & heart needs to quench curiousity. Imagination is everything. You just get what you see on tv, that's why you can get drunk after watching the tube for hours. You don't exercise those impulses in your pink mush. There's no stimulation.

Its like mass brainwashing. The television I mean.

With books, there is no limit.

Really. If you've met people who have read books, and people who never read or don't like it, you can pretty much tell the difference between the two groups. For example, interests. A bookie would have so many interesting things to say and much more ambitions to share. A non-bookie would only talk about people, events and everything else to do with current affairs. And, no purpose in life at all.

Well, if I'm wrong, come out and show me then. I will apologise for my statements. Maybe I just haven't met interesting people who don't read. But til then, I'm sticking with this theory.

topsy turvy here

I've found something new to listen to! Fiona Apple. yum yum. I like her first release from her new album - Not About Love. i just love the way she handles the piano, and the jazzy ornaments she put in. @@ i've been getting bored of everything I have. yep, all 29.1gb of it. lol. my hard drive's full now. it took me what, 2 to 3 years to fill up all 4ogb of it? hmmm, thats not bad. harharhar.

hmm, i dunno, but some people, just really tick me off. its easy to wish i can just walk away and ignore them right? but then there's this thing called "fate" that the course of my life must come across theirs oh just every other day. so if i simply plug my ears when they're around, i'll be labelled uncaring. and if i do try to pay attention to them, i end up blowing up and just making whatever relationship it is that we have a fraction more worse. my long winded sentences must be a strain on your brain. sigh.

sometimes my mouth just runs away from me. and only minutes later do i realize i must've hurt someone's feelings. but i can't ever be sure because my own feelings are so dull, and all i can perceive from someone else's is their body language. not a reliable radar, because i tend to wander around in my mind when i start talking. weird. i don't blame anyone for calling me distant. i know it myself. ahhh life's mysteries.

so, coming back to the point, what does one do in such circumstances? take extra emo-painkillers so i don't blow up? anger management? try to reason out with them? in any case, it'll still end up bad no matter what i do or don't do.

*sighs and folds arms*

i don't know why horrible personalities just freak me out. really, they do. i usually have this strong urge to reason out with them and change their minds by sheer persistence. and yeah, usually i feel drained and not satisfied at all. horrible vegetables.

i've got a few agendas to take care of this week. that includes shifting Cory out to the main phone line (if i decide to share it with the world), finding space for all my clothes (they obviously don't fit into that tiny wooden box you call a closet), controlling my junk intake OR exercising more, aaaaaaand compose rhymes on the quirks of college freshmen + seniority. ^^

fiona apple good. i loike.

to pinkerton: the 10th X Queen is grumpy and claims that you're spending too much time romancing Renzardo and forgetting to send the messenger back to the tropics.

and yes, i like confoosing people. i mean, i like to confoose people. it's a hobby, ya? a very creative one. well, if i had a choice, i wouldn't have given up my 'scaring people' one, but i ran out of easy-to-scare people. sad, huh.
