A Spinning Halloween

Here is was I did on 10-31-2008:
12:00 am: I was home after work, and started reviewing for the tough Finance test.
2:00 am: I felt quite hungry and made some noodle with egg. Tasted good.
3:00am: I finished eating and studying, I went to bed.
I slept.
8:15 am: I woke up, thinking how early I could possibly wake up like that.
I looked at the clock, realized that I forgot to press the button before going to bed.
I put on my shirt.
I changed my pants.
I ran straight from my room to the class. About half of the way, I felt exhausted and started walking.
I arrived. The test had started 15 minutes before.
9:00am: I gave my paper to the professor, and ran to work at the office.
10:30am: I am done working.
I came home, wrote a short essay for my scholarship application.
12:00pm: I sent my scholarship application, and headed to the cafeteria for lunch.
Then I ran to the library to finish my research for my Composition 2 class.
I realized that my backpack was opened, and my binder was gone.
It was at the office, so I ran there and take it.
3:00pm: I am done researching. I printed it and ran to my instructor’s office to put it in her mailbox.
3:15pm: I arrived at my workplace, knowing that I was 15 minutes late.
My friend called, telling about the Halloween party. Shoot, I didn’t have a costume. What could I possibly think of…?
Many of my co-workers were gone for parties, so there were only two people there. I did the work of several people at once, while my boss was messing with Facebook.
7:30pm: I was done, finally.
I came home.
People were gone for the bonfire. I was late for that.
So I didn’t have to get a costume, I thought.
7:33 pm: I sat down. Done.

BONUS:
The haunted house in Kansas City
Truly is scary
But since there is hope
Surely there is peace
As I can see…

How Many Words in This List That You Know?

How are you doing on your readings in general and more specifically in developing your vocabularies? Recently I started reading a book for my Finance class called The End of Wall Street by Roger Lowenstein. In the very first chapter of the book – a short 6-page prologue, there were many words that I did not know, and I am listing them here: destitute somnolent bulwark scrutinize (to) prick quiescent laudatory salient fervent (adj) frothy parlance umbilical (cord) placate carnage plenitude opiate dictum stupendous I was so surprised to see so many new words in such a small amount of pages! How is this Roger Lowenstein guy? You would think that while reading a finance book, the only words you would stumble upon are technical terms or lingos. Or maybe I am just bad. How many words in the list above that you already know?

It's Hard to Share!

I like to share. It’s not like donating stuffs (it’s good too) but more like… introducing to other people what I find interesting. So actually this post’s title should be: “ It’s Hard to… Introduce ”, but it wouldn’t sound as good. So there you go. Songs, books, movies, games… Whenever I find one interesting I’d love to show it to another person – like a “maven”*, if you know the term, even though I am not as specialized and valuable. It’s pretty much become a hobby of mine. “ Hey, you want to hang out? Come to my place and I’ll show you this awesome video clip I found last week!” And one day I finally realized the ugly truth, and I am sharing it with you right now. Well, the title exposes it: sharing interesting things is hard. It’s very weird, really, because when I share with someone the stuff I found, it’s not as interesting as before ! Almost always, when I play a movie or the song while introducing about it super-enthusiastically, I will feel that the movie or the ...

Origami Extreme - Part 08!!!

The other day, I came to watch some of my friends performing in the play called The Birds, and it was really fun! So I decided to make another Origami collection; this time it’s about birds – small birds which (supposedly) are all nice and peaceful. Anyway, I love things that fly. Talking about Origami, I now find myself avoiding overly-complicated models each of which would take days to complete. Instead, I’d go for fairly simple ones which are fast to make and still look really nice. That’s why I like more and more the models of John Montroll: really efficient.   PART 08: THE LITTLE BIRD   CURLEW by Tom Defoirdt – I had no idea that a curlew was. I had fun time folding it nonetheless. EXTINCT BIRD by Nicolas Terry – Mr. Terry always creates unique models. This “bird” was the most challenging for me in this collection. GORRION SPARROW by Roman Diaz – What?! There are different types of sparrows? I never knew! HORNED OWL by Hideo Komatsu – The thin...
