Okay , time for a real post.

Friday, May 12th, 2006

It used to be that I blog just about anything here. Now I just put lyrics to whatever I’m feeling at the moment or some random pictures. So lazy. So here’s a real post ( in point form !)

Work

Well many of you know that I love work. Be it the people or the work I do, it is great at (if)interactive

Of course, sometimes the work can be quite hectic, but it’s been a great learning experience. Everyday I’m challenged with something new and it’s never boring! Now I know why they stay back and work so late. Although it’s a bad habit to do that though. I’ll blog about my workmates in a future post :P
Home

Well , things are not that great back home. Things are the same and nobody wants to do anything to change anything. Sometimes I feel like I work and go out more to avoid being home. I really don’t know how to deal with this yet.

PS2
My PS2 is acting up, so I can’t play kingdom hearts. I haven’t been playing PS2 at work too cause my Street Fighter companion is gone. :(
TOYS
I bought a new MP3 player that’s almost my constant companion. My ears hurt from the earphones. Next thing on my list is a new guitar. Hmmm

MUSIC
Been listening a lot to:

  • Architecture in Helsinki
  • Reindeer Section
  • Arcade Fire
  • Dashboard Confessional
DOTA
FRIDAY NIGHT IS DOTA NIGHT! Record attendance, we often have more than 10 people so it gets split into 2 games. Too bad one us went back on his word ( he said guys shouldn’t FFK dota for girls ) and even went as far as to advice people against playing DOTA. How hypocritical and dissapointing :P I stick by my word that DOTA is for those of us who don’t have girlfriends. Which leads right to the next thing

GIRLS
It’s hard to explain how I am getting by on so little from her. Please don’t complicate things by hesitating :(
FRIENDS
Can workmates be good friends too? At (if) , it really is that way. It’s very rare to find something like that. It’s a very good culture.

And lastly and most importantly, thank you Shufen for being the bestest friend anyone could ever ask for.

Hey , it’s not like I’m dying or anything okay. I’m just tired.

owl’s go

Thursday, May 11th, 2006
Don't hide the treasures you've found in a hole in the ground,
How 'bout the tree back your house where the owls go,
Or in between the attic and the basement,
Somewhere it's not dark, dark, dark, dark.

Attic in a basement with a knife serrated, I'll protect you,

Don't hide the pleasures you've found in your rolling around,
Where all the leaves have been swept and the flowers grow,
And don't go finding a replacement,
I promise I'll show you heart, heart, heart, heart.

Finding a replacement with a heart sedated, I'll forget you.

And you won't make a sound or be nervous around piles of pictures,
So old that that it feels like it is ending.
It's not too late now to change your mind,
The grass gets greener when you get to the finish line.

An attic in a basement,
An attic in a basement,
An attic in a basement,
An attic in a basement,
An attic in a basement,
An attic in a basement.

And you won't make a sound or be nervous around piles of pictures,
So old that it feels like it is ending,
It shouldn't feel like it is ending.

Just as random as my brain. Nice song though.

Kingdom Hearts 2

Sunday, May 7th, 2006
So I’ve been playing this game called Kingdom Hearts. It has Disney and Square characters in it. As weird as that sounds, it’s all executed really well. I didn’t really play the first Kingdom Hearts. The battle was somewhat boring and I hate that stupid gummy ship levels in between. Somehow they made everything better in the sequel.

After a very long prologue, we’re reaquainted with Sora, Goofy and Donald:


My buddies.


And as usual, King Mickey’s battling darkness somewhere.


Getting ready for battle.

The first Disney World I visited was Beast’s Castle.


Mrs Potts , Chip , Lumiere and Cogsworth.


Beast: I’m sorry .. I haven’t been myself lately.

Okay, I’m off to visit Mulan now.

allergic rhinitis

Friday, May 5th, 2006
The past few days I’ve hard some trouble breathing. I cannot take in long breathes and I have to conciously breathe to actually feel comfortable. Every once in a while I get a deep breathe and I would be calm.

Due to lack of oxygen to the brain and the constant need to conciously breathe, I’ve been feeling very stressed over work and even sleep!

Well , I thought this was due to stress and just assumed that it will go away. However, my boss Zoya (she’s really sweet) asked me to take half a day off and go see a doctor. Lo and behold ! ALLERGIC RHINITIS. Or more commonly known in the U.S as Hay Fever.

Well according to my doctor, the insides of my nose has swollen making it harder to breathe.

Well the thing is , I’ve had this for years now. And I can only breathe from one nostril at a time. So i just breathe through my mouth. Apparently that’s not normal.

Wow , all these years when I thought I had trouble breathing because of stress or mood swings. It’s kinda great to know that it’s medical instead of me being just a turd.

I’m on meds now , and it feels great !

Hands Down

Breathe in for luck
Breathe in so deep
This air is blessed , you share with me
This night is wild, so calm and dull
These hearts they race , from self control

Your lips are smooth , as they grace mine
We’re doing fine
We’re doing nothing at all

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
So won’t you kill me ?
So I’d die happy

My heart is yours to fill or burst
To break or bury
Or wear as jewelery
Whichever you prefer
