Nothing really important to talk about, I just remind myself that I still have a blog to maintain and everything, maybe this is the right time to ask myself or anyone what motivates us to blog..

Is it money? – which is really true for many and myself included, yah, bloggers are human beings too unless they are automated post than by some software program which is rarely seen in a personal blog (I hope they are the real thing). Not to mention the ads, sponsored post, ptc etc in the pages which is already understandable.. we do eat you know..lolz

Is it fame? – I’m not the public social type of person, so who cares?.. though it can help when meeting with new/old friends (or maybe enemies) through blogging and you can find good acquaintances in the online world? link exchange ? comments? critics? its cool..

Is it passion? – Unless I am a very famous writer and an author of a book, it is still a good medium for me to be used as a wannabe semi writer without wasting papers coming from trees.

No matter what the reason is, its nice to know we all have a story to tell even if they are important, truth, lies, gossip or just plain non sense and at the same entertain whoever reads it… happy blogging

The title post is not a typo , just couldn’t think a better title as of this moment, I still consider this as an event post and a random post at the same time. As I expected many blog post and articles are about valentines. It is true that “valentines is in the air” and also in the “internet”.. though I wont go through the details about valentine stuff etc etc etc… As I know that this day is not really for everyone(especially those without dates..ahem..lolz) .. But of course, you can expect an sms/text or two of greetings from your friends/etc. Sometimes, that would be really enough to go through the day (or survive for some). and the end of it… its just a day

It is also the Chinese New Year which is really rare for this two occasions to occur at the same time(too bad they didn’t declare it a holiday..oh its Sunday). And it is also the year of the “Tiger” which is also my year (cool), though I am not knowledgeable or even a fanatic believer of Chinese-Calendar-Signs-Feng-Shui-stuff. I can’t really help but to get curious , maybe this will be my lucky year I hope…

Happy Valentines Day to all and kung hei fat choi

I have been in semi hiatus mode for this moment, to transfer my blog to a self hosted location. Since I started this blog, if you have noticed, I have been using the free blogger hosted blog. Though it is still a mess here, I am trying my best to transfer all details from my previous blog and fix the layout details .I just feel I have to write something here to inform everyone (not that I have that many followers..lolz).

The process really is as simple as it can be, transfering from blogger to wordpress. I can just import all my  post from my old blog with just few clicks. Though have been a little hesistant because of the online traffic but I just have to do it as I see many bloggers are using wordpress.

Getting to this point is really something. Though I am a bit busy from work and other stuff, I am still able to wreck this blog. Maybe I find it fun to just to browse and write something rather than posting pictures or videos in social networking sites.

I just hope I can get this thing going and done as soon as possible, well, better continue this one first and hope for the best (for my blog that is).

I Just received an email about office messages. If you are already in a corporate world (in short “working”) or planning to, you can encounter different types of people with different personalities. It might not be easy especially if you are stressed, but still able to find ways to enjoy and still laugh at it all. One of these are email responses which can be either freaky or just plain funny. Maybe you can use these just to annoy somebody or a blogger ..lolz

Best Out of Office Messages:
1- I am currently out at a job interview and will reply to you if I fail to get the position. Be prepared for my mood.
2- You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn’t have received anything at all.
3- Sorry to have missed you but I am at the doctors having my brain removed so that I may be promoted to management.
4- I will be unable to delete all the unread, worthless emails you send me until I return from vacation on 5/18. Please be patient and your mail will be deleted in the order it was received.
5- Thank you for your email. Your credit card has been charged $5.99 for the first ten words and $1.99 for each additional word in your message.
6- The e-mail server is unable to verify your server connection and is unable to deliver this message. Please restart your computer and try sending again. (The beauty of this one is that when you return, you can see how many in-duh-viduals did this over and over).
7- Thank you for your message, which has been added to a queuing system. You are currently in 352nd place and can expect to receive a reply in approximately 19 weeks.
8- Please reply to this e-mail so I will know that you got this message.
9- I am on holiday. Your e-mail has been deleted.
10- Hi. I’m thinking about what you’ve just sent me. Please wait by your PC for my response.
11- Hi! I’m busy negotiating the salary for my new job. Don’t bother to leave me any messages.
12- I’ve run away to join a different circus.
13- AND, FINALLY, ABSOLUTELY THE BEST: I will be out of the office for the next 2 weeks for medical reasons. When I return, please refer to me as ‘Loretta’ instead of ‘Anthony’

It has been a very challenging year for many of us and since the year will almost end to begin a new one, let us check again our goals and plans and one of them (a popular one) is a New Years Resolution. Well, it doesn’t matter if we can really do all the listings we’ve made that’s why I am posting some funny New Years Resolutions.

P.S(seriously): These are not mine (found in the web) ..ejoy and Happy New Year to everyone =)

* Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all day in my nightdress. Instead, I will move my computer into the bedroom.

* I will no longer waste my time relieving the past, instead I will spend it worrying about the future.

* I will not bore my boss by with the same excuse for taking leaves. I will think of some more excuses.

* I will do less laundry and use more deodorant.

* I will avoid taking a bath whenever possible and conserve more water.

* Assure my lawyer that I will never again show up drunk at a custody hearing.

* I will give up chocolates totally. 100%. Completely. Honestly….

* I will try to figure out why I *really* need nine e-mail addresses.

* I will stop sending e-mails to my wife (husband).

* I resolve to work with neglected children — my own.

* I will stop sending e-mail, ICQ, Instant Messages and be on the phone at the same time with the same person.

* I will spend less than one hour a day on the Internet. This, of course, will be hard to estimate since I’m not a clock watcher.

* I will read the manual… just as soon as I can find it.

* I will think of a password other than “password.”

* I will not tell the same story at every get together.

* I won’t worry so much.

* I will cut my hair.

* I will grow my hair.

* I will stop considering other people’s feelings when they so obviously don’t consider mine – if that unwashed fellow sits next to me again, I’ll tell him he stinks!

* I will be more imaginative.

* I will not hang around girls – they think you love them and that sucks.

* I will not ring the stewardess button on airplanes just to get her phone number.

Resolutions You Would be Tempted to Keep…
For those who are scared of making resolutions here are some resolutions they would actually be tempted to keep!!

* Spend more time watching TV / movies.
* Chat more over phone / Internet.
* Read less.
* I want to gain weight. Put on at least 30 pounds.
* Stop exercising. Waste of time.
* Procrastinate more.
* Drink. Drink some more.
* Start being superstitious.
* Spend more less time at work.
* Stop bringing lunch from home: I should eat out more.
* Take up a new habit: Maybe smoking!

Merry Christmas again to everyone.. It seems that this year is very different from last year, I dont but in our place , there were fewer firecrackers in the eve and lesser people in the streets, I mean , much lesser than expected , provided that the attention for many people(including
myself) to be doing other things. It is really true that there is so much to do know than the past which means our usual activities which is already relevant. I expected everyone to be online most of the time, some even play dota, farmville ,access their facebook , friendster accounts etc during the holidays. I’m also amazed with our ISP(Internet service provider) that the connection is all well during the peak hours.

Well, that is probably better than being getting hurt by firecrackers or being hit by a stray bullet(thats scary). Thats what technology do and I
can imagine in the near future that everyone will be online during the holidays and greet each othere there( that would save greeting cards and paper). Of course the true spirit of Christmas is not about having all the earthly things, its also about knowing that you are not alone in this quiet(or chaotic) holidays..

Its been a while since I posted something in this blog, and what better way to post something than about Christmas, Just went this interesting article about Santa. Just want to share something for you kids out there uhhmm I mean bloggers…=)

=============================================

Santa Claus the man is actually loosely rooted in fact, though he hasn’t always looked the way he does today, having evolved from a gift-giving Catholic saint who lived during the third century.

The Protestant Reformation and the emigration of European traditions to America morphed that pious figure into the red-suited character that is now one of the most famous images in the world, complete with his iconic army of elves and a magical transportation system.

In an 1822 poem entitled “A Visit from Saint Nicholas” – more commonly called “Twas the Night Before Christmas” – by Clement Moore, Santa is further imagined with a magic sleigh powered by reindeer, a sack full of toys, and a round stomach, “like a bowl full of jelly.”

By the late 1800s, most depictions of Santa Claus followed this imagery, but the final cog in the Claus legend was provided by Coca-Cola ad illustrator Haddon Sundblom, whose 1930s red-suited Santa, complete with white-fur trim and leather boots, became the iconic standard recognizable today.

It wasn’t until 1809 that Santa Clause got fat, and by the late 1800s he was wearing the full red suit with the fur trim and leather boots. Image credit: stockxpert

Anyways, just want to greet everyone Merry Christmas!!!..=)

It still amazes me until now how unexpected things are happening and still doesn’t really stop at one point or another in our lives. Things you thought that you know already and conditions that you are not aware of until recently. right.. that’s what happened a couple of weeks ago.

Thinking that it was an ordinary day in the medical examination, after the annual medical examination I was told by my HR to go back and take the x-ray again because they didn’t get a clear result.so, I wasn’t really expecting anything wrong, so I went back the other week, then there when while I was in the waiting area for the x-ray, the doctor asked me if I have a “dextrocardia”(I still have no idea what it was), then the I remembered they mention of having one in my previous x-ray results but it was this time they made it clear about the condition.

Dextrocardia is a congenital defect in which the heart is situated on the right side of the body
Dextrocardia situs inversus refers to the heart being a mirror image situated on the right side. For all visceral organs to be mirrored, the correct term is dextrocardia situs inversus totalis.

Dextrocardia is believed[2] to occur in approximately 1 in 12,000[citation needed] people, while one of 30 of these will have situs inversus. Totalis occurs in approximately 1 in 5,000 of dextrocardia situs inversus.

I immediately asked the doctor.”Is it normal”, she said “no, your abnormal(in a not serious tone), your unique, in fact your a mutant,joke only(smiles)”. In fact I wasn’t really smiling at that time knowing that I have this type of condition, I was thinking how could this happen and not knowing it all this time. Though the doctor said that I am normal in all aspects, its just that it is really a rare condition, In fact, I am the first patient in the clinic to have one said by the radiologist technician(don’t know if its the right term).

Though I am still amaze really to have this condition I mean having a mirror image of heart does mean something, or is it really sign or symbol..it really doesn’t matter, the thing is that I am still glad to live a normal as it is and having this type of condition of living my life to the fullest.

Honestly, this blog is getting a bit rusty and dusty for not really updating that much these past few weeks, though there maybe a thousand excuses for not updating these blog, I still want to post something not just for the sake for updating, or getting web traffic, becoming popular in the webspere(am a private person), etc, it is a matter of coincidence(started this blog as a work project) and
destiny(really not expecting to post about a bit of myself as I am not a public person at heart).

Other bloggers have their own reasons for blogging (hobby, make money online, having friends (even dates), etc.)…the point is that its not what you see a post or in a blog, but on how relevant it is to the person who created it. So in short notice, I still am interested in blogging even if it looks messy or irrelevant in the point of others(thats’s what critics are for).

Back in my post, reminiscing from a term (to talk or write about old times, past experiences, etc.)…. Since we lived in a fast paced generation(fast indeed), there are times whether we like it or not remember things in the past, though people have different ways of seeing these, it is uncertain when it will flashback or just triggered by a an event or a series of event..

Lets just say, you open a social networking site (facebook, friendster, etc), wondering how are your old pals/gals/classmates/workmates etc. So of course, you tend to watch(stalk..lolz) someones profile. That is why they are very popular right now.

Anyways, its nice to post something after a long hiatus, though its not that much, it is already a fulfillment for me (at least for this struggling blog..hehe)

Since I have been a little bit tight lately to myself in terms of scheduling my time, I tend to fail to prioritize things properly as what would I want to. I almost forgot I have a blog to maintain (for the domain cost, posts, etc). Not to mention posting anything that has happened. I just remembered way back when I was a student that I would have more time to do things if I can just finish my studies, what comes after that is history ( lesser time that is). It is true that we are given the same amount of time (the same 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and so on and so forth). If I were to answer a person about the important things in life ( “MONEY”, “FAMILY”, “FRIENDS”, “RELATIONSHIPS” , etc), I would probably go for “TIME”. All of our activities and routines totally equates to the time we spent doing all these things. Even though I mentioned about this, I myself am guilty of not properly balancing my time (so is true for many).

With all these things running through my head, it is not surprising even though I am active in terms in doing my work and other stuff. There are days that you can’t seem to get it right or going your way ,lets just say like forgetting something before going to school/work/etc. For instance, recently left my mobile phone two times in a row including today, I even when home from the office during lunch just to get my phone back. It’s just annoying to know that you make the same mistake twice in a row. I don’t know if I have a brain gap or something, it is said that too much information and stuff running around my head might be the cause of these.

Anyways, I can still hold at the moment, though I must start doing meaningful things in life and not the other way around. I’m still lucky though to have this blog as one of my ‘to do list’ even I haven’t updated it that much , not really intend to let everyone know I have a blog (its a personal thing), and most of the time I write/post when I have time(which is not that much recently) and might find it interesting to anyone (I wish).
