when mortals become angels

pooh & elmo

After a day of running around, eating, studying, studying, studying, and eating, I was finally able to take a break from all the madness in my life.

I thought long and hard about how I met you.
By chance.

I thought about how much I enjoy listening to you talk.
Simply inexplicable.

I thought about how well we get along.
It feels like I've known each of you from the moment I inhaled my very first breath of air.

I thought about your zaniness.
I have no idea why it amuses me.

I thought about how we show our sincere care and concern for each other.
Because that's what true friends do.


My colleague, Mark, once told me that he sometimes felt he had a guardian angel with him wherever he went. They aren't fairies. They're real people, mere mortals like you and me.

I feel very blessed to be experiencing that feeling right now. Thank you, my best friends. :)

Math Tells Us Of 3 Tragic Love Stories

Math tells us 3 of the saddest love stories:

Of parallel lines, who are never meant to meet.

Of tangent lines, who were together once then parted forever.

And of asymptotes, who could only get closer and closer, but could never be together.



awhhhhh.....

This Handwriting Quiz is cute!

I took the "handwriting personality" quiz on gURL.com
		my handwriting personality is... jocular jotter Your self-confidence and ability to laugh at yourself (you know you're a big dork but you like it) attract lots of admirers and once in a while you get in trouble for being too over-the-top. Read more... What does your handwriting reveal about you?

The call to walk slowly is totally countercultural in a day and age that worships speed and efficiency.

But to love someone is to walk alongside them.

Thank you, Julia. :)

Don't Disable Your Firewalls!

Sometimes you don't have to go looking for good friends.

Life brings them to you. :D

"My Boyfriend, Our Army"

The new slogan of the army here.

My first reaction: "SERIOUSLY?!"

Okay, we have a pretty good army (:D), so let's give credit to most of those guys for being intelligent and physically fit.

But seriously... SERIOUSLY? Using the prospect of becoming a girl magnet to attract guys to join the army is the craziest advertising idea used by the army so far.

Because I'm too appalled to think coherently, here's a link to Mr Brown's blog post. Thank you Mr Brown! For some odd reason, we seem to share many similar thoughts on this.

Quotes from his post:
"Or is this to tell young men, "Hey, SAF scholars get all the hot chicks, man! Sign on now!"

"If you watched this commercial, and signed on as a regular because of it, we are doomed."

Nicely done.

The Ukrainian army recruitment advert at the end of his post promotes the same "army guy=chick magnet" idea, except that it's overly exaggerated. (and therefore, funny!... Even the music is unnecessarily dramatic, haha!)

Who knows, maybe these adverts were meant to create a kind of anchoring effect in our young men, like other commercial products. People tend to buy the stuff they see more often. I don't know why. Maybe humans just like familiarity.

At the end of the day, bad publicity is still publicity. :)
