We, Humans are very lazy. We would do everything just not to do anything. Contrasting statement, right?
Here is a video proof that humans, are geniuses but sadly, we are really lazy.
We invent things to make a simple life, simpler!

We all eat in restaurants and fast food chains because some of us do not have the luxury of time to make our own meals at home because we are very busy with our careers. Of course, our family need not suffer from the consequences of our choice that is why we dine out with them. The medium you get your food won’t matter as long as you eat food. There are only three times when it is bad to order food in a restaurant and dine there.
1. Lunch time peak
As per my experience, when ordering in peak hours of the restaurant, the quality would more or less be the same but the quantity would not be. This would be applicable more if the restaurant that you went in to has little manpower to cook and serve you. If you notice they are already sporting their sweaty brows, I suggest you walk out from that place.
If the servers outside have sweaty brows, what more in the “hot” kitchen area? They might drip their sweaty brows in your salt-lacking food that is why it might taste not bad at all. Another thing, the serving size would sometimes be compromised because they are so busy. The good thing here is if you are the one who is served with a little extra.
2. Opening time
Restaurant owners know all the rules. Never serve left over food from last night’s operation. But since most employees want to be efficient and effective, they re-cook some of last night’s food and serve them. This is the reason why ordering and eating when a restaurant opens is not a good idea. I am not saying this applies to all. Those are just my thoughts and I know somewhere some place, this is applicable.
3. Closing time
They are also humans. If the restaurant’s closing time is 11pm, do not go in there at 10:55pm for God’s sake. They need rest to and they cannot drive away customers. Instead they will be forced to serve the late comers. I am pretty sure you know what happens if you are being forced to do what you do not want to do. Sometimes, things like the one I saw on a hidden camera show where the server touched his groin and smothered his hands all over the food happens. Talk about disgusting.
So, remember, dining at home is healthy and dining out is the least healthy food option. You do now know what unhealthy ingredients they use out there. Some ingredients may be out of this world and you wouldn’t want to know what alien stuffs they put in. This is not applicable to all restaurants and fast food chains out there but, this has a possibility to take place.

It’s great to be in a new place! Got this new domain just last week and I feel more free right now. I may have to make a few changes in the design but then, this is just exciting.
Rest assured that the same fiery thoughts will be in this site and may be a little more angst, but still with more sense. So, enjoy!

We threw a going away party for Matt and I have to say it was one of the best parties ever. Of course, there was a lot of sentimentality but I guess that goes with getting all happy and drunk.
As I try to recall the party over the weekend, I can’t help but smile. It made me recall all the parties and the drunken moments that I’ve experienced.
I have to say, there were a lot more when I was younger since at that time I went abroad and the legal age for drinking was much younger.
I actually remember a time when I was in college abroad and my friends and I drank some alcoholic beverages during lunch knowing full well we had a theology class after lunch. Sure enough, I went to class intoxicated and stayed at the back of the room so as to avoid detection. Bad part was, I was so talkative and I was stating my religious views with so much conviction. The good thing about it was the professor thought I was very profound in my thoughts. My friends had to control themselves from falling of their chairs laughing. I’d have to say, that was one of my best drunken moments.

Matt is leaving for Singapore. He got a job offer and he accepted. I don’t really know how to feel about this right now… Somehow I feel a bit sad that our relationship or non-relationship for that matter wasn’t really able to bloom to its wonderful potential but at the same time I feel somewhat relieved that the holding pattern that we have been in for some time has finally ended.
Maybe it’s just not time for us to be together or maybe we’re just not meant to be together…
I’ll tell you something though this is absolutely new to me… This is one of those things that you will forever wonder “what if”… then we’ll bump into each other sometime in the future and ask ourselves “what if.” I have tried my best always to take the bull by its horns so that I will never wonder later what if… but somehow I just couldn’t do it with Matt… somehow it was one of those situations that I just had to allow to take its course with no interference… SIGH!
Oh Ricky… I totally forgot to tell you… he turned out to be an ass… enough said.
Well…. Good luck to Matt! We’ll see what the future holds for us…. Oh gosh… the proof of catatonia… clichés… whatever…

I was surfing through multiply when I saw a blog entitled To Date or Not to Date?
The article on this blog was basically taking about the book of Joshua Harris I Kissed Dating Goodbye. Apparently, according to this article, dating is solely there for the purpose of marriage. If dating is not for this purpose then kiss it goodbye.
Does dating necessarily have to end in marriage? I believe dating is there so that you could get to know each other and see if you have a connection which can eventually evolve in a relationship. But dating with marriage in mind is one scary thought I tell you…
I just can’t understand it. Somehow it feels that the premise of this statement is somehow based on love at first sight. You only date somebody that you believe you can spend the rest of your life with. How would you know that unless you go out on a date? Moreover, the decision to live with somebody for the rest of your life doesn’t even happen immediately. I personally subscribe to living together first. That is, as far as I’m concerned, the best way if you can stand each other’s idiosyncrasies on a daily basis; and if you live with that then you can decide whether or not you want to get married.
If all people would have marriage in their heads when dating I would definitely kiss dating goodbye… I mean it….

News: More female celebs are dating younger men. I think, yeah. I mean if they go out clubbing which I think they do, most of the men are like in their 20’s. Of course there are some men in their early to mid 30s but any age beyond the population is much lesser.
Funny though, here they are going out with younger men and yet, I would prefer to go out with someone older. Is it because younger men are able to satisfy the sexual need of an older woman which peaks at about mid-30s to 40s? Is it because younger women are looking for some security to the uncertain future that they have that they look for someone older? Hmm…. Surely I shall share with you more of my thoughts….

A friend of mine from Asia came back to the US to take up her post graduate studies. It was so nice to see her again. She was an exchange student and she lived in our house. We were her host family and as she lived with us we truly treated her like family. I often introduce her as my Asian sister.
We’ve kept in touch through e-mail and chatting but it’s different when she’s actually present. I missed her so much. Defintiely, the weeks to come will be so fun-filled and exciting.

Ben Stiller has arrived.
God works in funny ways. Last Friday, Matt and I had an argument and he has refused to talk to me since then.
Saturday night, I was with my friends just letting loose and pretty much talking about Matt. As we were leaving our joint, I bump into Ricky. I don’t really know Ricky that well but we do hang around the same place so he’s a familiar face. His group of firends and my group of friends ended up hanging around.
Since then he has been calling me and paying attention to me. Initially, i found it bothersome as I was having problems with Matt. However, his persistence, sweetness and gallantry cannot be ignored any further. Quite impressive actually…. we’ll see what happens….

I joined a group of my friends yesterday to karaoke but all Disney songs. It was fantastic… it was definitely a contrast to my blah day the other day. It was done in an intimate place with a small stage and great band. The place was packed though. What’s nice about singing all Disney songs is that everybody knows the songs and brings about good memories, so there was a general feeling of well being in the place….
Plus even if you’re singing on stage…. Everybody’s singing with you….. which is quite fun.
