  • An Entry of Randomness

    (i.e: Just Another Random Entry)

    I never do manicure or pedicure, and I want to do so whenever I see other girls' cute toenails or clean French manicured nails. So I tried to keep my nails long but ended up cutting them off after a week because they got dirty and become unpleasant looking. Plus, I'm not used to having long nails. Thus, I will never get a French manicure.

    I never thought Addiction to Love was like a mental health condition. Egad. But I'm sure I was not that badly addicted to love. Wheww!

    I've just joined the wonderful world of Facebook. It's more exciting than Friendster. I get to grow my own Zombie, attack other zombies (or werewolves and vampires), receive virtual gifts, give virtual gifts, and X friends. (X = actions like hug, trip, kiss, lick, etc.). I also found some old friends that I've lost contact with on Facebook too.

    I sometimes wonder why I do certain things and why I don't do certain things. It's really more of a fact that I am not able to distinguish between if I should be doing a certain thing or not doing a certain thing, and ended up not doing anything at all.

    I also wonder why I sometimes feel cold and hot at the same time. For example: I ended up wearing my jacket just a few moments ago, and later, I got hot, so I took it off... After awhile, I got cold again, so I put the jacket back on. And it feels crazy.

    I also wonder if I'm being tasteless by blogging like everything's normal again. It's just that there's nothing happening right now except for those pro-government protests, and that's not worth blogging about. Recently, there was the passing of the Prime Minister, who died of leukemia, but it was already reported on several news sites, so I didn't write about it anymore. But one thing to note is that his twin brother, also a General, died a month earlier, with alleged reports of the same disease. I heard that they were long-lost twins who only found each other when they both attended the military academy. I guess they had the same fate or something.

    I don't think it's tasteless at all to blog about what's on your mind. (sincere comment) Expressing yourself is one way of coping with all that happened. It's good to hear one speaks (somewhat) freely from the "inside". BTW, I heard from the rumor mills that the PM's twin brother died from complication of donating his white cells or going through with some medical procedure to help PM. So when the twin died, people speculated that PM would die soon since there was no more donor. Don't know if that's true but sounded plausible.

    Hi Dawn, 

    I visited ur blog and I found it interesting. Especially, the way u write really reminds me of my eng teacher. Nice and clear.

    Btw, keep posting. I love to read people's blogs although I don't have one. Lol..

    See ya .

    I used to blog anything that was on my mind. I find if you have something distasteful or shameful on your mind, and you blog about in getting hopes of getting it out?

    Blogging it only grows it. Not that your blogging anything distasteful. So that probably doesn't help much.

    I am glad you are ok. When the protests were going on I saw you on featured. I came back once to see if you updated. You hadn't. I was worried. I see you are alright now, so I am happy.

    I heard Japan cut aid to Myanmar over the reporter's death. Somehow I feel like the only people who will truly suffer are the people of Myanmar.

    Is there ever a simple answer to anything?

    Facebook is fun. I am on there.

    We are all still wondering what's happening. I've read reports that hundreds of monks are still being detained and many, many were killed. I hope talks with Aung San Suu Kyi happen very soon!

    whats happened to the monks?

    Blogging what is on your mind is not tasteless. How could you be tasteless anyway?!? So what's your name on facebook. :)

    Osiyo (Hello) Dawn,

    What is normal? The dictionary defines it this way: Conforming to norms of the society in which we live. Using that definition the only normal people in an institution are the inmates, because they are conforming to the society in which they live. Your world is in turmoil right now, and you’re are being normal. Life goes on, even when it is in chaos. We can’t live life always looking at the chaos, we need to find and see the happiness that life offers us. You are looking for that happiness by finding lost friends on Facebook, and in your postings here. It’s the Yin and Yang, the balance of the two that makes life complete.

    May the Blessings and Love of the Creator Keep You Safe and Happy Always!

    Nobody Special _:^)

    I tried the whole nail thing too - the first time in probably ten years. I spent too much money on getting them done... and after a few weeks i removed them (I got the acrylic nails).

    I have the facebook thing too... and sometimes feel guilty about attacking friends zombies... especially when their pitiful zombie appears to get beaten on by everyone and never win. But that guilt quickly goes away as I rack up a few more points towards my next zombie level. hahaha.... :oP

    RE: I also wonder why I sometimes feel cold and hot at the same time. - - I get that too! It's not a comfortable feeling either, like the sweat makes you cold and you can't help but sweat or something?? Ew, I know.

    I think it's okay to move on like life is "normal" too.. it's probably a type release for you to blog... like it is for me. :o)

    Yes I saw on the news about your former prime minister though they never meantioned he had a twin who also died. Anyways there is nothing wrong about blogging about mundane things. Especially if the outside world so torn into chaos. This blog is your blog and if blogging about oridinary things makes you happy and sane in an insane world then by all means blogs about anything after all it's your blog.

    I read about this twin study that was done and usually, when long lost twins discover eachother in adulthood, they find out that even with different upbringing, they have led almost parallel lives.  It's so weird and it draws into question the whole nature vs. nurture debate. 

    And I get manicures all the time but I keep my nails short b/c I type so much and I feel like they'll just get in the way.  I've never gotten a french manicure but I've always wanted one.  Maybe I'll find some occasion to do that someday.
