I got the answers!

The Yahoo! Answers is quite addicting. If you have no idea what it is, let me tell now how it works. It's a give and take relationship. Some people asks questions and get answered. While some other give answers and posts questions as well. There's a point system for every action done.

It's quite simple because it's just sharing your stored knowledge on a particular topic. But it's a bonus point if the question falls on your expertise. This gives you a higher probability of being picked as the 'best answer'.

Questions vary from simple to complex ones. And it covers a lot of topics. You can just choose inquiries you can resolve.

Try it for yourself.The next 'best answer' might be yours.

Say cheese!

I am a big fan of Hollywood celebrity websites. That's my guilty pleasure. I like browsing through paparazzi photos of people from Tinseltown.

Maybe just like everybody else, I like seeing stars on their everyday lives. The irony here is that we find joy in other people's worst situations.

Well, I also dream of becoming a photographer to chase rock stars. I admire a band photographer named BrutalGrace (Google her!)

However, this dream remains to be that way for now. But we'll see.

so many things to do, so little money

It's been a while seen I've posted an entry here. I've been busy. Well, sort of.

Several things happened to me these past few days. Nothing special but a bit different. First, I went on a date. It turned out fine but sparks didn't flew so much.

Next, I haven't transferred to a new home. I'm still house-hunting online. And I'm still saving money for the rent. Hopefully, next month.

Then, there's my part time job hunting. I'm praying that I get the job for the korean language school. I badly needed more money.

That's life. It sometimes revolves around money.

going independent

I always say that I've been independent since college. I used to live without my parents. I manage my own time. I make decisions all by myself. But that whole idea changed when I stepped into the real world.

I realized that being independent does not necessarily means knowing how to stand on your feet but it is having greater responsibilities. And it does not still end there, it's having responsibilities and knowing how to handle them. I'm beginning to face that challenge now. Despite of the thing called quarter life crisis, I try my best to overcome whatever hurdle life brings.

The real world is tough, really. But don't let them see your fear.
Just keep your mom's number on speed dial. It helps, I tell you.

pain and just a little more

Another week is up. This week been so hard.

But I promised myself that I'm going to plan things out this weekend. I need and want a new place.
Even though it will entail a portion of my salary, I already made up my mind to transfer to another place. I just need to let my parents know this.

Aside from this, my Friday was happier because there were old friends who remembered me. I received a text message from my college friend who said that he suddenly remembered me. Kinda weird, but it made my day.

Enough of the drama. Hope you have a happy weekend.

Thursday's my unlucky day

Monday is the day most people are not looking forward to come. It means going back to work, to school...to the busy life.

But it's different for me. I hate Thursday. I mean it. This day has always the jinx.

Some brouhaha at work happened on a Thursday. Got something I don't want to receive also on a Thursday. And when I checked my card balance, I got no money. And yeah, it's also on a Thursday.

I don't know if it just mere coincidence or what. But hey, even though things like these happen, life must go on.

Anyway, let make it more positive now. Happy Thursday everyone!

coffee confusion

I am frequently invited for a coffee drink. What's with it anyway? Just a cup of caffeine goodness?
Wrong. There's more to it than you can think of.

Coffee break, on my opinion, is a way of people to establish connection. A cup of coffee just eases the tension. It makes the conversation flowing and the feeling comfortable.

Though it can be manipulative sometimes. You see, a conversation that started over a cup of coffee can go a long way. It can lead into closing a business deal or even falling in love.

Whatever the intention is, just be sure not to be a coffee addict.
