great stuff no need to register as well… man i’ve got to tell this guy in khonkaen about it. he separated his files into 6 rar files… a genius or a dummy i’ve yet to figure out. but definitely yousendit.com is so much easier…

Discoveries

There are several discoveries I’ve made:

1. I’m an introvert.

2. I am not as adaptable as I think I am

3. I would not be happy just doing what I enjoy doing, but I also need good environment and supportive friends. There’s a lot more to work than doing what you enjoy doing…

Google identity

Before I have facebook, I had very few web result with my name on it. I see my old crushes on facebook, my old boss on facebook (now that’s scary, it’s like seeing my dad on facebook), and i see my old writings online (but when I click on the link the content is gone), my academic work (loved the USC breaking the code one, my friends names next to mine!) and my note on my elementary school alumni website. (Going off to check for my best friend’s name then and still can’t find her… she’s like my cousin and my other best friends i think… I remembered she thought i was joking when i mimed that i had water in my mouth so she slapped my cheeks and it sprayed all over her table, she was like EWW but gee, she did it!) Anyway, there are more ppl I remember too but sometimes it’s hard to patch/ catch up with your elementary friends whom you haven’t seen all this while. So different we all become. Anyway, that’s life i guess, keep on moving and keep on meeting.

Passing Thoughts

So I’ve been jotting down some observations throughout the week: Walked passed a dog on the streets. “Fat Dog” I thought as we walked passed each other. The black short fat dog was also looking at me, pensive. Clumsy human it probably was thinking. Nice interaction, huh? My mind play…

I like taking detours… I don’t like taking the fastest route or the same route everyday. I want to check out other possibilities, check my limits. I think it explains why I tried to look at the sun for as long as possible when I was a dumb kid, to see whether I could be proof that you can look into the sun and not go blind. I’m glad my sensibilities have improved.

A friend asked me about the books to read. I tried to help but really, I don’t think you can recommend readings to another person. You simply have to find out what works for you, what you enjoy reading. Finding a book to read is like finding something that taps into your inner need. I sometimes hope that I would be able to transfer my book selection skills to my wardrobe.

Cars should have a button that shouts “Ok you can cross now” or “I’m in a hurry, move out of the way!” Loved it when you’re about to turn right and have to wait for the cars on the opposite lane to give the way and cars behind you start to go towards the left lane to avoid you. It’s like your car has plague/is a zombie that other cars need to get around you asap.

Self Discovery

I used to think that I don’t like coordinating work, that I prefer writing work. Well, now that I’m doing all writing and no coordinating, I think I made the wrong assumption. I am a balanced person, I realize… when there’s a lot of stress I want to relax. When there’s a lot of writing, I want to talk. I think it’s normal for people to have a good and balanced work and life balance. Somehow the tips are different for different people I think. I would prefer to have more time at home than at work, or rather the work hours consume much more time than hours at home. And then when I was jobless, I missed having work. Yeah the balance is there.

Discoveries and confessions

Eureka!! How to get rid of autorun that is locked on mac : press the option key while deleting. I tried it before but I wasn’t holding the key well or sth, and tried downloading and scanning for virus, etc. but finally found this solution. Yippy. Learning new things from mac everyday. There’s a colleague who is super good with mac, if I watch her, I’m sure I would be able to do a lot of things with mac and not be so dumb anymore. Put my work on Scribd and I wonder when I would get more than 21 reads. Oh well… Oh and I have 2 confessions to make:

1. I don’t like the F4 Korean version, but the guys are cute, the story however, is ok… not great but badly tied together. The Hero and the Heroine don’t have the chemistry as the Heroine with the other guy (and have less scenes than the later pair too!)

2. I don’t think Twilight is written that well. I mean the story doesn’t really tie together and there’s no suspense, just a lot of teenage suspense I guess but the storyline doesn’t have the build to it. “Are you a vampire?” “Yeah, I’m a vampire.” Alrighty, where’s the suspense? And after I’ve read the summary, it made it much harder for me to go on with reading.

And another thing is that I don’t like Nissan and Chevrolet drivers somehow… :s prejudiced i am…

The Driving Seat

I was wondering why my mind so wanders. I’m working quietly by myself and it’s been for 1 hour and been listening to music on i-tune for many times over and reading Twilight in between in the air coned room. It brings me back back back to where I don’t know. I don’t know why I am here, where I’m going and who am I. It’s like a dream. I’ve downloaded lots of books of my favorite authors online and they sit tight and packed. It brings me back to the past which I don’t recognize very well now. Reading for an exam and the content don’t seem familiar to me as before. Am I losing my identity? I know what I can do, it’s not puzzling to me anymore. I simply ask myself what would I prefer and I would have the answer. Like suddenly I don’t have to put up with things, I simply need to be honest to myself and take charge. Like sitting in the back seat to taking over the wheel. But this driver still don’t know where to go, even though she has all the things more or less ready for a very long trip. Food, water, maps, but she still lacked a companion. And the destination. She hopes she doesn’t miss the next u-turn.

My Online Identity Expands

Twitter, Financial Times, LiveJournal, Scribd, Facebook, WordPress, my online ego is puffing up. I feel great being able to download books for free online, of course the ones that I couldn’t download just made it a lot more exciting and I wonder when I would be able to hunt them down. As for those I’ve downloaded, I’ve saved them up in my download files, like trophies or medals or heads of animals to show off my prowess. What about I rambling on about??? Right this is my ego talking. I have my ego as well as my desires that I have to battle with when I see some cute stuff I want to buy. So these websites I have similar usernames and passwords… except for LiveJournal that made me change my password because I need to include a number in it. How bothersome. I hope I don’t forget. But 2 usernames could be confusing -__-; but I don’t think i need to write them down… at least not yet.
