Things you already know

I'm going to list them out anyway. Don't say I didn't warn you.

1. Ill-mannered people are extremely annoying.
2. 'definately' is still annoying.
3. iPhone is going to revolutionize the phone business again.
4. Low-fat cake? It compensates in sugar, and packs calories.
5. Flowers never fail.
6. Waiting for that someone? Start looking, they'll never come.
7. Family is really what matters at the end of it all.
8. You're never too full for dessert (Did I hear cliché?)
9. Handwritten letter makes a person's day.
10. People don't really change.

UPDATE: Number 3 is no longer valid. :P

Blog of note

daily dose of imagery

Dedication. Focus. Discipline.

Sam Javanrouh has been photo-blogging for every single day for the past 3.5 years, sometimes leaving the posts on auto-pilot when he's traveling, spending hours every day and on weekends editing and lining up his pictures for the next week.

The result? Astounding success.

Hiya

I remember reading on a website that you never blog about blogging. It stuck with me until this moment. I'm about to break that rule now.

I had grand vision of how my blog will look like, how I will commit myself to write an entry every single day, how many people will actually spend time and read it, all to serve narcissistic purpose. Exciting times. All the grandeur of actually having a blog.

Half a year after my last entry, I have achieved nothing of the above. I'm not going to think I will either. Anyway...

Things have been quite stagnant over the past 6 months. Still a fan of YouTube + Google. Hope these two giants will come up with something nice to surprise people like me (and no ad on YouTube please!!). Looking to upgrade my banner but lacking the skills, any volunteers ?? :)

Ah! Tonight, finally got a glimpse of Harry Potter No. 5, nice surprise. July 13th, 2007, it stated on the trailer. They all grew so big, reminding me of child actors who grew up with the audience...

Anyone knows what's the story of Peter Rabbit like? Saw the book on another Potter (Beatrix) but never heard of this story. My childhood was filled with Chibi Maruko Chan, Doraemon, soppy J-Dorama, Cinderella, The Frog Prince and Gulliver's travel storybook. Do kids actually read these stories anymore? Or maybe they prefer Madonna's books?

I'm spewing out random stuff like a machine gone wrong.
