Tolerance

Murmurs Mumblings - My Thoughts conversation with myself, rants, and more mumblings Tolerance

"Not to hate and to love -- that's what I am lecturing about," he said. "Not to hold a grudge and to tolerate everybody, to love people, to be tolerant of people, no matter who they are or what they are." - i forgot where i read this


Yup, that's why this new year i wanted to shake hands the people i abhor then smash their faces on the table.

Serbisyo Publiko

para sa aking wevil sister,
malamang nde mo mababasa ito dahil nde ko talaga binibigay link ng blog ko sa yo at baka markahan mo lang pulang panulat at lagyan ng grado ang bawat sulat ko...(oo maniwala kayo na mahirap minsan magkaroon ng kapatid na manunulat...masyadong talentado eh)
pero kung sakali man na naligaw ka dito ay gusto ko sabihin na

Maligayang Bati sa Iyo



at higit sa lahat, ilibre mo ko ha!



ang mensahe na ito ay hatid sa inyo ng Pansit Bughaw - Ang pansit na nilalamig

Hmmm

Murmurs Mumblings - My Thoughts conversation with myself, rants, and more mumblings Hmmmm...

Just a quick rant....

I think i am saying "thank you" an awfully a lot of times, to the point that when the priet gave me the communion host i said "thank you" instead of "Amen" (and of course he got a confused look on his face)

Is that a good sign or what?

Contingency Plan

Murmurs Mumblings - My Thoughts conversation with myself, rants, and more mumblings Contingency plan

with the financial market on a heck of a rollercoaster ride, times have become so uncertain. I guess am guilty of not saving enough for the rainy days, in fact my account now is in dire need of a 'bailout' (read: need salary..now!)

in the middle of work, break and panic attacks, am trying to find ways to scrimp moolah

1. eat veggies only with 2 meat meals per week - oh geezzz, this is very tough for me.I love antagonizing my friends who love salads that they are eating rabbit food. But veggies are way cheaper :( , on the brightside, i suppose it will be healthier (but not so happy) for my heart

2. Avoid takeouts - same argument as above....hmmm but i might still consider Chinese take-out. Cheap and big in volume.

3. Curbing Pubs/night outs - no more thrice a week pubbing! It should now be once a week or none at all! My wallet got a hard hit during the Euro2008 games. And i will now limit myself to 1 drink. No more of those itty bitty hard drinks like vodka, wine or even whisky (*sniff*), it's not worth paying 5 euros to 5 gulps of liquor. I must learn how to love beer, instead :P

4. Unplug all the appliances - Well, i only do this on my bedroom, but now i'll be doing this on the common room also. It should save some electricity bill and helping the envt as well.

5. PC usage limitation - well, it might save me electricity and might give me more time.

6. No more books until the book queue are done - sigggggggghh...so no more trips to the bookstore for me

7. Use the room heater for only two hours a day - I will just have to bundle up and think that marshmallow man is sexy

8. No more window shopping - it seems the more i see, the more i want. so see nothing, spend nothing.

9. The hair can wait - no more attempts to have my hair done here, it's cheaper back home.

10.cut down the list xmas card list - no point of sending xmas card on people who couldn't be bothered to keep in touch

the right attitude towards a stormy market

Murmurs Mumblings - My Thoughts conversation with myself, rants, and more mumblings the right attitude towards a stormy market

aoi: So, ms.financial analyst what can you say about the market today?

Y: oh ... the market sort of corrected itself the other day.well, i don't know what will happen, if not i'll be millionaire



i like that....

All Apologies

Murmurs Mumblings - My Thoughts conversation with myself, rants, and more mumblings All Apologies

A few weeks ago, me and my friends were hanging out on a pub when suddenly 3 drunk men started doing weird dancing and leering on the floor.
Friend M realized that she and the men are of same nationality.
She gasped, turned to us and said:
"I'm so sorry! I really don't know why men from my country are really ugly."

After i blinked a few times, "Apologies accepted. It's not your fault that your country is part of the square centimetre where the density of cute is really low or totally negligible"

:P

Survey can kill you

Murmurs Mumblings - My Thoughts conversation with myself, rants, and more mumblings Survey can kill you

me and my housie were walking back to our flat, when we got intercepted by a guy who is taking a survey. He seemed to be having a tough time to convince people to stop for awhile, we took pity on him so we stopped:

SurveyGuy: How often do you pass this street
Aoi and SwissRoll: Everyday
SurveyGuy: Is there any shop that you would like to see within this neighborhood
Aoi and SwissRoll:Tesco! (grocery)
SurveyGuy: So i guess it would be tesco for that building *points to the location of our fave bar*
Aoi and SwissRoll: Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!! you can't do that! that's our fave bar! (insert a lot of caterwauling and 'Don't' phrases here)

we managed to scare-off the guy :P

Murmurs Mumblings - My Thoughts conversation with myself, rants, and more mumblings Culture Exchange

one of the perks of having a housemate of different nationality is that there's always a room for culture exchange. Just like this saturday, i let her listened to my OPM mp3s and she let me listened to the Swiss ones. She then asked me what is my favorite track so far.

Aoi:I like the third track. What is the title?
SwissRoll: Oh, it's "I wott sevs vom morge bis am obe"
Aoi: Uhmmm...what does it mean
SwissRoll: uhmm...it mean 'I wanna have sex with you in the morning, afternoon and evening'


Cool huh?! very enriching cultural exchange.
