…articles…

When I was in my college years, I always dreaded professors who love to ask their students to write reports about something. Some people may be fond of doing reports but not me. I’m not really good in writing, paragraph by paragraph, since I can’t put my thoughts together (it’s somewhat evident to some of my entries here).

Just recently, I’ve accidentally got a page where you can submit articles so they can check if what you’re doing or writing or composing is good enough for your own convenience. And what’s fun about this is that you can learn from errors done by other contributors. It will also supply tons of elements and options that you can choose since almost all topics that you can think of are listed and available for everyone who needs assistance. This would be very helpful for me right now since I’m currently on training and some topics pertain to what I need to learn during my training.

I’ve checked one of the articles and it’s a step by step procedure about doing a program. When I’m on my dreamy state, I’ve always wanted to learn programming to its core. And it seems that with these articles that dream could be a reality.

Come to think of it, I can also help others by submitting some of my so-called articles (if ever I’ll be able to do one good article).

…wake up!…

here’s another one from mommy daisy
i really need these stuffs LOLZ

The 10 Most Annoying Alarm Clocks

#10 - Climbing clock. It hangs above your head and starts climbing while it rings. Don’t wake up fast enough, and you won’t be able to shut it up without a ladder.

# 9 Wake Up Puzzle. You have to build the puzzle to make it stop

# 8 Wake or Curse. You can ask it what the time is and it will answer. But if you don’t wake up quickly enough it will curse you.

# 7 High Tech. This one has a vibrator, 95 db alarm and police style rotating light that you cannot ignore.

# 6 Find The Pin - You need find the right pin to stop it’s ringing. Not going to stay sleepy after this mission.

# 5 Chicken and Egg Problem - The egg laying alarm clock. It will only quiet down after you put all the eggs back.

# 4 GI Joe. You will wake to the sound of your commander’s wake up call. Don’t mess with it.

# 3 Floating Around - Will float around the room until you’ll catch it.

# 2 Kaboom - This acoustic grenade will wake the neighborhood with it’s ultra loud sound level.

# 1 Hide and Seek - The winner is the hide and seek alarm clock. Once it begins to ring it falls down to the floor and finds a random place to hide. Chase it down or else you’re doomed.

…tech…

I always go to this particular pharmacy not just to buy medicine but my stock of wet tissues (it’s very hot right now since it’s summer time and wet tissues really help). And every time I pay my goods, those people in uniform are waiting and ready to take your cash. I believe they’re called pharmacy technician.

One of my cousins once got a job as a pharmacy tech. She often told me about the responsibilities she needed to do everyday. There are also times that I’ve asked her for the name of the medicine I needed. But I never asked her how much she’s earning. I wonder how much a pharmacy technician salary is.

…work work work…

nice one from mommy daisy

…tipsver2…

Reduce volume of tea intake.

Do not eat bread which has JUST been toasted. 

Stay a distance from your charger. 

Drink more water in the morning, less at night. 

Do not drink coffee twice a day.

Reduce your volume of oily food.

Answer the phone with your left ear. It’ll spoil your brain directly if you use your right ear. 

Do not use earphone for long time. Rest your ear a while after 1 hour.  

 

…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.”

…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.
