My new MacBookPro laptop was stolen today from my office at work.
It dawned on me that it was password protected. Upon boot-up and awaking from screen saver or sleep-mode, you need a password to get back in, or it’s useless.
So I’m guessing whoever stole it can’t use it…… or are passwords pretty easy to crack? Mine was a pretty difficult one.
I hope the asshole who stole it winds up returning it….. since he can’t use it or sell it.

get sick
Well, i dont usually get sick easily lah. but even if i do, i'd be just maybe a minor teensy weensy one. and i'd still be able to run and stuff. but this stupid cold-cum-fever was not only wearing me down but also taking my voice away! i sound horrible okay! i said hello to a friend and she was like "what's wrong with ur voice?" =S weird lah. but aiya forget it.I enjoyed myself pretty much today. we had LITERATURE! my love! yes, and we got into our drama groups for Emily of Emerald Hill. And we wanted this part to act where Richard dies of suicide. (: so fun? and well, THREE groups wanted that. so mr rash suggested an arm wrestle. and guess wad? WE WON. we nominated MAX TAYLOR and he battled against JOSHUA that weakling. HAH. of course we won!
And then there Math. I realised that i had lots of brainjuice today. i did my sums really quickly.except for one which was a star question i had no idea how to do. but the best of all is, MR CHIA was our relief teacher! YAY. i hope i'd be going to his tuition though. mommy and daddy's still considering (: yup. that's bout all of math.
aaahh.. mother tongue! That's the period that i went O_O cuz it was all just dead lah.the whole thing went ___________ lol. just dead. but i manage to understand what she spoke bout. and stuff. could be because i learned them in tuition already. muahaha. (: and then there's SCIENCE. i think all my brainjuice was used in math. science i was rather bored. apart from mr lai's jokes, i didntlaugh at all. i told mysef that i gotta get an Afor science this year. i cant afford another C. im sorry :( im poor in science. really empty inside.so yeah, get ready PEN PAPER. NOTES. :D
LASTLY was D&T. i got to know that mr chan was our teacher. though i much prefer mr juhari, mr chan would do perfectly fine (: he explained instructions rather clearly and let us do most of the work. i sort of despise that wooden ruler he uses to smack the table though. you know? to get people's attention to LOOK? it'll go PIAK PIAK PIAK. and guess wad? he piaks y workbench. :S LOL.
then after school i headed to mac to wait for yonghwei and also to have lunch.
i had an hour to kill. wad i thought was gonna be bo-ring, went out alright (:
because dear siewbin came and decided to keep me company :D so yup, wedid homework together, had lunch together and talked bout the day together. pretty much fun other than the noise around :)

GOOD years!!
I think what really defines the distinction between relationships is the thing you found in the new relationship that you didn't get in the old. Or even better, something you didn't even know you liked til the new guy starts doin' it. And then you go, you know, like, hey! This rocks!
Coworker: I agree. That happened with me and (insert name here). So what"s something Psuedo does that nobody else did that just does it for you?
Me: (thinking for a very long time) He gives good head.
Yeah, after that all my co-workers looked at me crazy. But that's not exactly what I meant. Maybe I should have actually said, he gives good hair. That's what I meant, lol. It's the first thing that popped into my mind, lol. That damn Mexican always goes straight for my hair. No matter what we're doing, or how we're doing it (heh heh) his damn hands are always in my hair. And dammit if I don't love it! Lol I've always had a thing about people playing in my hair. But he's the only person who has quite literally put me to sleep running his fingers through my hair, massaging my scalp. When I'm stressed, that's how he gets me to mellow out. By the same token, the same touch can let me know it's time to light a candle and get the slow jams going, lol. Maybe it's his hands. Or maybe it's just him. But the boy gives good hair, lmao.

pretty impulsive
I used to be pretty impulsive. Well, that's probably putting it very nicely. Because not only was I impulsive, but I was irrationally impulsive. Which is probably worse. You'll either love and admire my spontaneous nature and wish you could think more like me or you'll hate and resent it because you can't live your life the same way. There is no gray area.
Once I hit college, I calmed down a bit. It was partially because I didn't have the same conditions in my life that caused me to be so impulsive in the first place. It was partially because my sister spent alot of time talking alot of sense into me when I wanted to do alot of craziness when we first got to Howard. And it was partially because I didn't wanna be "that girl" anymore. You know, the one that is reliably unstable? The nomad, the vagabond. I've been called a free spirit more times than I can count.

Booooo Hissssss Christmas
I realized at work today that it was almost Christmas and I hadn't written my annual "Booooo Hissssss Christmas" post. I tried as long as I could to keep my irritation with this tacky, gaudy holiday in check but everyday my irritation has grown. It started with the house on the corner. Everytime I come home from working retail during the worst possible time of the year, there are new lights SOMEWHERE on this house. First it was the multicolored candy cane lights lining the driveway. Then, the string of white lights that look like they were just thrown at the one bare, sad ass tree in the yard. Then came the snowman. Then santa. As the days went on, more tackiness seemed to just appear from nowhere. Now, it just looks like the whole damn house is on fire. And then there's the customers at my job. Somehow I've gotten to be the person at work who everyone defers the evil customers to. So I've been cussed out AT LEAST 1,385 times. Isn't this goddamn season supposed to be what brings out the best in people?
Notsomuch.
Maybe if I wasn't in Texas isolated from the majority of my family it wouldn't suck so much. Probably not true though.
Sitting in waffle house tonight, I was struck by how much my life has changed in the last year. I'll get into the specifics in a later post, but it's just funny. So much so that I burst out laughing in the middle of eating. Everyone looked at me like I was nuts. It happens.
I know Christmas won't suck forever. Maybe I've never really had a good Christmas but it won't always be this way. I know it'll be up to me to make Christmas a happy and joyous time of year for my own family when I start one.
But I don't have a family.
So until then, excuse me while I try to figure out how to assasinate a mechanical reindeer without getting caught.

Go see World Trade Center immediately
Go see World Trade Center immediately if you can stomach it. It was really a quite beautiful movie.
Go buy Idlewild IMMEDIATELY, if not sooner.
Please watch the replay of "When the Leeves Broke..." when it replays on HBO August 29th.
Speaking of Spike, if you haven't already, watch She Hate Me.
Did I mention you need to go get Idlewild?
Someone go listen to Beyonce's songs "Freekum Dress" and "Kitty Kat". And then please explain to me how exactly these fall into the catagory of songs about "women empowerment". Anyone?
Also, go get Christina Aguilera's album. No Freakum Dress to be found. Great music though.
Next time you're drinking, mix the new black cherry vanilla Coke with Malibu. It tastes great and you'll be drunk off your ass before you ever even realized you were drinking.
Someone please tell me when HU (Howard, the real HU for all you Hampton readers) homecoming tickets go on sale.
Explain to me why Cassie's album is number 4 in the country. No really. WHY? YOU bought it didn't you? DIDN'T YOU?!?!?

Which is better?
Which is better? Aerobic training (long distance running, stints on the Stairmaster) or anaerobic training (weight training & short intense conditioning work)
I've been asked this question hundreds if not thousands of times. First I'll give what I think is best and then I will talk about whether what I think is best even matters.
I my own professional opinion and from my experiences I believe a combination of strength training exercises (with free weights, machines, or bodyweight) and high intensity anaerobic exercise (e.g. Sprinting, running up hills, or stairs etc... have yielded the best results for me and the people I've worked with. I'll take it a step further by just looking at what the elite athletes do. The first thing that comes to my mind when it comes to ideal body composition (low body fat levels) and weight loss are long distance runners and sprinters. Marathoners run and workout for what seems like forever. One hour runs 4 to 6 times a week are the norm for many of them. Combine that with strength training (which many won't do because they're too tired and over trained from running) and you're working out almost everyday. Sprinters on the other hand use short intense workouts to build their speed. Many sprint 2 to 4 times a week for about 30-45 minutes and strength train 2-4x a week for about 30-45 minutes. Many times it looks as if they're not even training hard because they rest a while between their sprint sets.
With out getting too far into the details of the workouts of sprinters and marathoners I'll say this: The sprinters get far more in return for what amounts to less time spent working out. Just take a look at an elite marathoner (they look stringy and many times weak and sickly). Now look over at an elite sprinter and they look like an Adonis (It all boils down to what their training offers them. Long distance running will improve your aerobic endurance but at the cost of you overtraining, possibly having more colds, less muscle, you not looking and feeling your best and also leaving less time to do other things you might like. Sprinting and strength training will not give you the endurance to run 2 hours but you will look better, have more muscle, less fat, have more time to do other things. So I guess it's safe to say that I think strength training and anaerobic work wins in my book. Absolutely! Now does what I believe really matter when it comes to finding what works best for you?
