Friends

Yes, I am in my Post-Friends period...The serie ended and I'm also far away from my friends. So here's a little something to let you know I remember. All of you hopefully will recognize which one you are.

Boarding school wouldn't be the same without you
And I still totally trust and support you in what you do
I miss those perfect chemistry lab we had

Your weird attraction to the occult
You, silly russian baker!
I hope to come across you in the flesh again soon
and save you from exhaustion while you try to save the world

You taught me windsurfing and sailing
Between Maths and Physics books
And how to live life at its fullest despite all the crazy nuns around!

It was love at first sight
Green eyes, shy, we didn't spend enough time together
But we'll still be crazy when we meet

You're easily high on sugar
and drives me mad with laughter
And when you enter a room, I know there's fun ahead!

A roomate from heaven
Who introduced me to opor ayam and es teler
And who will get the "mado desu" expression!

East coast, foxtrot, salsa
You get it all, and a piece of my wretched heart
I hope to get a dance with you again someday

Close beds, drunken parties, and late night talking
You're a role model for your motivation and application
May New York give you what you came for

I'll never be as dedicated to to foeld as you are
Engineer to the bone, you make me laugh at my worst

You make me feel like a better person
And say all the right things I thought I'll never hear
It's a real blessing to know you

She says she hastwo left feet
But she forgot to say she's gorgeous and knows how to move everything else!

Ah you people, thank you!


And now, I need to find a leotard for my ballet class.....no kidding!

Mr Wrong

Before you think I'm bitter and just overzealous, let me tell you that despite what it seems, not all guys are Mr Wrong. But It's sure annoying that most of them seem to run into me. So here are some characteristics of Mr Wrong...

1) Loves to talk, about themselves and things I do not care about
2) Seems to think women belong in the kitchen and to be babymakers 24/7
3) Thinks I'm stupid and cannot take care of myself
4) Has a B.O. problem
5) Doesn't like my friends because they're not smart enough for him
6) Cannot perform under pressure, or 3sec is the norm...(waste of my time)
7) Does not like Classical Music at all
8) Offers no support in anything I do (so what if I want to be a brain surgeon?)
9) overly protective
10) Does not stand PDA....weird, I know

Aging..courtesy of IEEE Spectrum

So I stumbled on this article about aging in IEEE Spectrum...i'm a geek, I admit. In summary, this is what I got from the article.

We, humans are machines (not mammals from discovery channels). Unlike good man-made machines however, which are made of the best working parts found or created, we are a collection of redundant defective parts. Aging then is when cells fail and requires other cells to take up their jobs...After a while, there are no more cells to replace the dead cells, hence we die...glorious prospect. For those familia with reliability theory, there's a lot of jargon involved, but all in all, all I can remeber is the rate of brain cell death is constant, i.e. it's not because we are older that we loose more brain cells.
Right. Of course it's the rate that is constant...anyway...
And the final paragraph of the article says it all really:"Our life span is a time bomb with many fuses burning at different speeds. Cutting off only one fuse may be inadequate-we need to take care of them all"

Now, that's a deep perspective on anti-aging creams and plastic surgery!

Mr Right

The winter is looming ahead and I again face my cold king sized bed alone. I'm not looking for Mr Right, because as they say, he'll never show up when I'm ready..okay, for the heck of it here is some qualities and peks of my Mr Right.
-Eye catching gorgeous
-Treats me right and doesn't underestimate my capacity for evilor good doing
-Into watersports...come to think of it, any sports except fishing and hunting
-At least tolerates classical music and doesn't mind going to Ballet recitals or Philharmonic orchestras
-Does not smoke
-Can hold his drinks (coz I can't, I'll need someone to safely get me home!)
-Loves to cook (imagine a man cooking in his boxers and an apron on...sexy..ok, too much Food Network viewing but hey, a girl has got to dream)
-Likes to try new things (food, wine, dances, positions), things not including new women
-Likes to dances (from jumping up and town style to salsa, swing, waltz....)
-reliable, terribly on time all the time
-Comfortable in the jungle (survivor style) and in tight social protocol situation (aka family dinners)


The list is fairly long already but as Xmas is getting here soon, it's ok to get in the mood...And a gift certificate won't do in this case! Although you can argue maybe it's appropriate...urgh, we'll see.

5 Top reasons to be an actress

just for fun and because I was bored lately, despite 6days/week CSi on TV, here is what floated in my idled brain. These cannot be used to convince women under the age of 18...

1) To increase the chance of snogging bodiliscious men (Brad pitt, Hayden Christensen, Josh Hartnett, Gregory Smith, and Jason Lewis to namea few...)
2) To fulfill the drama queen tendencies to over-react (different from acting obviously)
3) To get discount to see Movie Premieres and even at designer boutiques.
4) To loose weight because you are surrounded by skinny, smooth-skinned women (and wannabes). It's the ultimate incentive to get on that favorite diet: The no delicious food diet.
5) To be able to visit those major studios and play with green/blue screens...for FREE! You might even get paid for it if you have a decent agent.

Of course, there are more resons you can think of, but these are the ones at hand so far.
