The secret to living: Books.

I'm one of those people who believe they can learn anything just by reading on it.

Seriously.

It's my father's fault. He raised us this way. When I was in grade school and I wanted to learn tennis, he didn't stop at training us on the tennis courts of the university where he worked. He would give us articles on how to play tennis better. Read, read, read.

It's not uncommon to find books in his library like: How To Play Badminton. How To Play Basketball. How To Swim. (I read all of them).

He recently finished reading How To Play Bridge.

I also found a book on Origami, and another one on The Art of Gift Wrapping.

My dad's a geek and he doesn't even know it.

So anyway, this morning, I was hungry, didn't have anything to eat for breakfast, no one was home. I went to the kitchen, found eggs, and remembered how much I suck ass at cooking. True story.

I looked up How To Boil An Egg online, and voila.

That's all.

    lool hilariouso... i honestly prefer books over tv & unfortunately believe everything i read. i havent watched tv in 2 years!! (long story) but i do occasionally watch a series or film.
    books r good & all but wen they r full of nonsense like chapter requirements for a certain course, id rather use the pages as toilet paper!
    i posted something new, let me no wat u think & how r u adding all these cool widgets?? like the survey line of choices at the end of ach post id like 2 add that :D

After getting approached three times (in person) about my apparently 'increasingly worrying' blog posts and tweets, I did a "No Complaints Week" on Twitter where, yes, I refrained from complaining or being all mopey and blue. The experiment went well. I didn't complain, at least not outright complaints. " Thank god for stupidface idiots. They make me look smarter. " " I'm glad you're not here. It proves how right I was / (still) am. " " Thank god I had a severe migraine attack last night instead of lower back pain. " " See that girl on the left? That's me, grinning. Winning. " It went well because it made me realize that I need a vacation from all of this. Possibly a permanent one. All of this blogging and oversharing and tweeting, and expecting feedback and then not appreciating feedback for what it's worth, and then overthinking everything, and then worrying about who reads me especially when people I know ...

The Cure.

Sometimes, like today, I start to question the things I believe in, the people I trust and care about the most, and the things I fight for. It's tough when the over-analyzing kicks in; it's all downhill from there. Good thing I've found a temporary cure. Ass pastries from the House of Donuts near our house. (Taken today!) Enjoying an ass pastry while contemplating life and the times.

While I'm not an Apple person, I've always liked the minimalist look. I also like white. So yes, every time I pass by an iZone shop, I always go in and have myself a nice look at all that beautiful [overpriced] 'simplicity'. I've been tempted many, many times to get sucked in to that whole Mac business, but I seriously doubt it's for me. After all, I am neither hip nor much of a computer/graphics person. I'm happy with my little (almost) 4-year-old classic iPod prompting me to check out that sub-culture every now and then. For now. Unless someone really convinces me. Or takes me on a shopping spree. Whatever comes first. So today, I made my first iTunes purchase. I sat for about a couple hours shopping for music, looking for stuff that I'd really spend money on. I ended up buying a bunch of Alejandro Sanz music and some jazz, totally worth it, but it wasn't as fun an experience as I thought it would be. I don't think I'll do it again for anot...

Freedom of Trash-Talk.

So there's this guy on my Facebook friend list who's really annoying. Classic fuckface behaviour. He makes uneducated hypotheses, calls everyone stupid (except himself, it's hilarious if it weren't so annoying), and makes all these really fucking stupid generalizations and arguments. Very offensive guy. All of this on Facebook status updates. I know, I can just easily delete him, and move on and stop complaining about how offensive (and stupid) he is. It would save me from seeing all his comments and just shut him up. He can exist somewhere else beyond my hearing (or my feed). But then what about Freedom of Speech? Does he not have the right to voice his own opinions, just as I fiercely defend mine? Would I not be stepping on his rights or freedom by deleting him, shutting him up? Could I not give him his little FB space to stage his little rants and beliefs? I do not have to accept his views, but I must respect his right to have them and say them out loud. So what if t...
