…fave past time…

My best friend Chelle sent me an email the other day that made me create another entry to my blog. It really hit me that most people who knows that I exist in this world knew my favorite past time. It’s sleeping. Sleeping is my hobby, my vice and the thing that I really enjoyed most above all type of relaxation. I can sleep all day, all night (but of course I still need to eat so there are intervals hehehe). Chelle knew that I sleep in the office given a chance or not. So she gave me a list of things to say just in case I get caught. Touchy!!!

10. “They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen.”

9. “This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the time
management course you sent me to.”

8. “Whew! Guess I left the top off the Whiteout. You probably got here
just in time.”

7. “I wasn’t sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and
envisioning a new business strategy.”

6. “I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance.”

5. “I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related
stress. Are you discriminatory toward people who practice Yoga?”
4. “Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out how to handle
that big accounting problem.”
3. “Did you ever notice sound coming out of these keyboards when you put
your ear down real close?”

2. “Who put decaf in the wrong pot?!?”

And the NUMBER ONE best thing to say if you get caught sleeping at your
desk!

1. Raise your head slowly and say, “…in Jesus name, Amen.”

…gas…

…shopping…

Ever felt harassed and tired after a day of shopping? Well I do, sometimes I feel weary after taking a stroll to my favorite mall. I know that shopping is one of the things a girl can do without batting an eyelash but there are times that it’s no longer fun. After the day, you’ll have tired feet and worst it’ll add another varicose vein to your poor legs. That could be the reason why some people (yes, people, not just the female society but all living things who consider themselves us human beings) resort to online shopping and the likes.

When I was just an over-the-phone technician, I’ve encountered a call wherein the customer is asking for a particular device. I’ve asked her if she got the device already for troubleshooting and she said no, she’s just checking it out from her Coupon Codes. Yes again, Coupon Codes. I believe they are like pamphlets where you can see the pictures of the products and sometimes their corresponding prices (I’ve seen some from a grocery store and a toy store). It seems that these Coupon Codes are one of the alternatives to make our shopping lives easier. You just need to ring or email the merchant and there you go. All you need to do is sit pretty and wait for your package, unlike when going to malls; you need to line up to pay for your things. And the good part is you’ll also have freebies wherein again you’ll only have it in malls when they’re on sale. Nice! I might as well get one and enjoy the life without much hassle.

…funny…

ever read good poetry this days…
if not, here’s one good list of uncommon poems…
enjoy…

A budding poet trying his best…

Here I lie in stinky vapor,
Because some bastard stole the toilet paper,
Shall I lie, or shall I linger,
Or shall I be forced to use my finger.

Before he graduated to be a poet, he wrote this…

Here I sit
Broken hearted
Tried to shit
But only farted

Someone who had a different experience wrote,

You’re lucky
You had your chance
I tried to fart,
And shit my pants!

Perhaps it’s true that people find inspiration in
toilets.

I came here
To shit and stink,
But all I do
Is sit and think.

There are also people who come in for a different
purpose…

Some come here to sit and think,
Some come here to shit and stink,
But I come
here to scratch my balls,
And read the bullshit on the walls…

Toilets walls also double as job advertisement
space…….

(written high upon the wall)
If you can piss above this line, the Mumbai Fire
Department wants you.

Ministry of Environment advertisement.

We aim to please!
You aim too! Please

On the inside of a toilet door:

Patrons are requested to remain seated throughout the
entire performance.

And finally, this should teach some a lesson…
Sign seen at a restaurant:

The hands that clean these toilets also make your
food…please aim properly

…banana naaa…

Banana is one of the favorite fruits by my colleagues here at work. If you’ll ever have the time and the moment and the space to pass our room before eating time (there’s no exact time since anytime is eating time lolz), you’ll often hear the words “can you please buy me a banana”.
I believe we all knew that bananas are often used as an alternate medication. And to add up, below are the other things, stuff, bits and pieces about the ever so lovable banana.

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!
This is interesting.
After reading this, you’ll never look at a banana in the same way again.
Bananas contain three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes.
But energy isn’t the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills – eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration have just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit’s ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives..
Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a “cooling” fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body’s water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels.. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, “A banana a day keeps the doctor away!”

PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin and rub directly on the shoe….polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!!

…reminiscing…

someone i knew reminded me of my ever so fave poem
well i really like the last part of it
this always reminds me that whatever happens in my life
it is I and only I to blame
read on…

Invictus

William Ernest Henley

OUT of the night that covers me,
  Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
  For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
  I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
  My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
  Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
  Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
  How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
  I am the captain of my soul.

…life, oh life, ooh life, dut dut dut dut…

Our company announced that we have a new HMO card. I’ve already attended the orientation and it made me think if it’s enough. With all the genetically inclined diseases and environmental hazards that we need to encounter everyday, would it be better if we have a fall back or what we called plan B? And then it hit me, the term life insurance. A friend of mine talked me in getting a life insurance during the early years of my so called work life. But then again the ever so impulsive me asked my agent to cancel the term since it’s a hindrance to my other expenses [like shopping:-)]. Then it hit me, just now, that life insurance is also an investment. Let’s be honest, it’ll somewhat help your loved ones to cope up once you left your earthly body. And instead of just sitting on my desk and think of it, maybe it’s time for me to get another life plan and some life insurance quotes. What do you think?

…fashion?makes sense to me…

Ever watched the show Project Runway? I used to watch it but since my work is so time consuming, I haven’t seen it for a while. But I remember those fabulous dresses that were made by the aspiring contestants. It brought me back to my childhood days when I used to make dresses for my paper doll (yeah paper doll, I’m not born with a golden spoon in my mouth). Anyways, I’m just wondering if those aspiring talents have ever gone to any fashion school that’s why they’re all creative enough to have the guts to come out of their shell and show what they’ve got. Some may have gone to fashion schools in california like fashion schools in los angeles to be exact or to any fashion school around the world. But I bet only few have proper trainings when it comes to high end fashion that’s why even though they have all the talent in the world, they never made it. This made me think, if ever I’ll pursue one of my wildest dreams (that would be venturing in the fashion industry), maybe it would be better if I’ll get some insights on what is really going on, maybe it’s time for me to check those schools. Let me see, hmmmm a fashion school in california sounds nice. :-)

…found it…

i’ve heard this song before but i dont know the title, good thing that my officemate loved it too…so found it!!!  :-)

 

Do You Know (Ping Pong Song) 

Enrique Iglesias

Do you know?
Do you know?

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away?
Do you know, do you know, do you know, do ya?
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on
the door has changed?

If birds flying south is a sign of changes
At least you can predict this every year
Love, you never know the minute it ends suddenly
I can’t get it to speak
Maybe if I knew all the things it took to save us
I could fix the pain that bleeds inside of me
Look in your eyes to see something about me
I’m standing on the edge and I don’t know what else to give.

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away?
Do you know, do you know, do you know, do ya?
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on
the door has changed?

How can I love you?
How can I love you?
How can I love you?
How can I love you?
If you just don’t talk to me, babe.

I flow through my act
There’s a question: Is she needed?
And decide all the man I can ever be.
Looking at the last 3 years like I did
I could never see us ending like this.

(Do you know?)

Seeing your face no more on my pillow
Is a scene that’s never ever happened to me.

(Do you know?)

But after this episode I don’t see
You could never tell the next thing life could be

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away?
Do you know, do you know, do you know, do ya?
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on

the door has changed?

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away?
Do you know, do you know, do you know, do ya?
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on
the door has changed?

(Do you know?)
(Do you know?)
(Do you know?)
(Do you know?)

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away?
Do you know, do you know, do you know, do ya?
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock
on the door has changed?

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away?
(Do you know how it feels?)
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock
on the door has changed?
(Do you know how it feels?)

(Do you know? Do you know? Do you know? Do you?)
