RACONTEUR-ESQUE SCRIBBLINGS

This is just to test my non-computer savvyness, or is it computer non-savvyness? Tis a great song, by the way... Totally Stupid By Andrew W.K. BestAudioCodes.com

I once heard that although a human being has physically stopped growing (vertically, that is... humans have the alarming capacity to grow horizontally anytime!)his or her ears keep on growing larger and larger and larger... (you get the picture), but fortunately, considering the common human life expectancy is around 70+ years depending on gender, where we live and how we eat or other occupationaland life hazards, the ears do not totally look disproportionate to our dead bodies lying in their coffins. Of course it's a different story is somehow through some strange medical breakthrough, the average human's life expectancy is extended to say 1000 years, then we may all be having ears that looks like Dumbo's. Unflattering I suppose, but looking on the bright side, I'd say it would be cool... I mean, yeah... if we could fly with those ears! Now, I'm afraid to admit that I might be unable to verify the above statements as I cannot recall where I had read it... it c...

'I could worry for the olympics and win a medal. Gold.' (This was found in a book I was reading, and I felt that it would make an excellent start to a post!) Now, worrying is something we all do from time to time, but the degree varies among people. Some just worry for a fleeting second and then throw it all away with distractions and then there are some that become even more worried with all the distractions that are around them. If there's nothing to worry about, these people borrow something to worry about from the future by playing all the worst case scenarios in their head! (paranoia comes to mind) On a more personal note, I think it runs in the family. All the older relatives obsess (worry) about the younger ones (I unfortunately still belong to the 'younger' set), their imaginations going wild on all the 'bad' things that could happen, from crazy drug addicts waiting to rob you behind bushes in location A, when in fact, you have neither seen bushes...

Some of the links to other blogs I read (placed rather strategically on the sidebar at the right)have stopped working, both at work and at home. I smell a rat... Does anyone know what could have happened?

If you find yourself constantly bloghopping, and stopping with intense excitement at blog pages with memes, and then you rub your hands in glee as you think... "I must do this!" then I implore you to go and pay Queen Mimi a visit. This is because she most probably is having the biggest compilation ever of memes from around the world (I hope!) How did this happen? you hear yourself asking (If you didn't already know) this happens to be the fifth installment of the now famous Blog Carnival, a very interesting idea from Bobby G back at the Bestest Blog . So, do drop by Queen Mimi's blog and have a teriffic time finding your favourite meme as well as getting to know fellow bloggers (assuming that they answered the questions in the meme truthfully) And if you don't know what a meme is, then this is the best time for you to find out!

The other day, a bloggerfriend behind the blog Gem-osophy suggested that I list down my favourite books in the next Thursday Thirteen. Now, I've been a bit slow in participating in this activity mainly because I completely forget it is Thursday, and by the time I remember, my brains refuse to co-operate with me in coming up with good TT ideas. Therefore, here is a list of books I have read and enjoyed throughout these years in no particular order. Thanks, Gem! Thirteen Things about TERRA SHIELD: FAVOURITE BOOKS 1. The Catcher in The Rye: by JD Salinger Holden Caulfield is one of the most captivating characters there ever was. I greatly enjoy reading this book because his thoughts on his surroundings are usually things that we think ourselves but never say aloud! 2. The Harry Potter books: by JK Rowling This might be called cheating, because there are 6 books under the series now, and I happen to like them all, albeit for different reasons! 3. Anne of Green G...

One day, not too long ago, a blogger who goes by the name Bobby G from The Bestest Blog of All Time came up with the idea to have a blog carnival. A whole lot of other bloggers in the blogosphere sat up and took note. A blog carnival was an amazing idea. This week marks the fourth installment of this blog carnival which seems to be getting more and more popular.In case you were not aware of it, this weeks theme is Animals, and it's hosted at: (drum rolls please) It's a blog eat blog world by Morgen who will take you on a magnificent journey through all the blogs that submitted their entries. And check out his amazing template :)

Was it a matter of coincidence that I dropped by Gem's blog the other day, put in my two cents worth in her comments section, and got tagged? Hmmmm..... 1. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was the first thing you thought? Bad hair! Should I chop it off again?!! 2. How much cash do you have on you? None :D 3. What’s a word that rhymes with DOOR? Four? 4. Do you label yourself? Yeah... right now it's ridiculously unlucky :( 5. Bright or Dark Room? Somewhere in the middle? Well, if I have to choose one, it will be bright. No, maybe dark. Yeah,dark it is... to sleep! 6. Why is there always a missing question? Copy and paste? Happens :D 7. What does your watch look like? Kind of like a bracelet 8. What were you doing at midnight last night? Rereading Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years 9. Where is your nearest 7-11? About 5 minutes away by car 10. What’s a word that you say a lot? Apparently. Apparently I use it so much that there are a co...

Regardless of how early or late I get to bed on Sunday nights, Monday mornings almost a always greet me with certain degree of unkindness. It's the time of the week that makes you realise that there's a quarter million things to do and there's not much time. Sometimes, this realisation happens when you're watching Oprah Winfrey rubbing shoulders with the cool crowd on Sunday nights, but you somehow always manage to stash it (the thoughts) away... As you sit in front of your desk, taking out files and papers and turning on your PC, you're greeted by a message from Yahoo! Messenger. Without thinking much, or even reading the contents of the message, you just click the YES tab. Next thing you know, Yahoo! is busy updating your messenger to the latest edition. It's too late, you let it do its job while you prepare your stuff so that you can work efficiently once it hits 8 am. The problem lies therein... updated, and marvellously spiffy looking, your messenge...

So, I got this off Lizza's blog to lighten up the mood of this old blog. These are the rules: If you want to play along with this, go ahead. It's surprising how fitting some of the answers are! Making up a soundtrack for the film of your life is such a great concept, especially when you leave it down to chance. Instructions: 1. Open your library on your Zen or Ipod or other MP3 player 2. Put it on shuffle. 3. Press play. 4. For every question type the song that’s playing. 5. When you go to a new question press the next button (But you can listen on if you really like the song :D). ********** Opening Credits: Go the Distance by Michael Bolton. This song was actually from the Disney Hercules soundtrack... Hmmm.... Not too bad for my opening credits. Yeah, I'll go the distance, baby! ********** Waking up:Evil by Interpol Waking up (especially early in the morning) is torturous... Judging from the title of the song, Evil seems appropriate enough :D. But then...
