i didnt know there was such a thing as...

a serious game. decided to look it up after being criticized as being too serious and i thought if there's a game for serious people like me.

running out of tricks

answering an exam where you dont know the answer is like pulling a rabbit from a hat. pulling a rabbit from a hat doesnt make sense yet its amusing to watch. thats the same way i see it when i take an exam and i dont know the answer. i give an answer that doesnt make any sense but for some reason, the answer is worth some credit (it doesnt necessarily mean that the answer must be amusing but merely not a complete waste of time for the one checking it. the answer is worth giving some thought). and like the magic trick, its like pulling an answer out of nowhere and try to make it presentable.

unfortunately, that wasnt the case a while ago when i took the exam. i wasnt able to pull a rabbit from the hat and even if i managed to do it, i dont think my professor would like a magic trick.

it rained today and it was nice

Only love can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
Only love can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers' laying in the fields

Love, Reign o'er me
Love, Reign o'er me, rain on me, reign o'er me

Only love can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky
Only love can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high

Love, reign o'er me, rain on me
Love, reign o'er me, rain on me, reign o'er me

On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain

I can't sleep and I lay and I think
The nights are hot and black as ink
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain

Love, reign o'er me, rain on me
Oh love, reign o'er me, reign on me

Burger King now serving beer!

i dont know when this started in the Philippines but based from a quick browse from Google search results, this started in the US this January 2010.

This move by BK generated mixed reactions (from "hell yeah!" to "this is stupid" and "it will generate lawsuits"). personally, i like it. when i saw the poster here (im in BK right now to study for an exam), i quickly thought its an interesting move. of course this is a product of market research and i wonder what their research told them to go for this unlikely move to serve beer.

im not much of a beer drinker myself lately so i wont benefit from this new menu. i just really find it interesting. maybe this move is safer for BK to do compared to McDonalds because BK's usual customers come from a certain age group and social class that are mostly responsible drinkers. that is the assumption.

seems plausible.

In the sex game, stressed men choose dissimilar mates.  

and i thought i was just turning into a robin scherbatsky. too much stuff to do leads to lowered standards and poor decisions. too busy to care. 

sleepless nights coming up

its crunch time once again. not only at school but also at work.

for school, i have a final exam this coming saturday. that means i have to go on leave for two days to study. that means i have to finish one week's worth of work in 3 days instead of 5. that means longer hours in the office.

and my work contract is about to end in a few weeks. so i have to deliver my required outputs before march ends.

just a few more weeks before...i crash and burn. this means i have to work twice as hard before the nasty beginning kicks in. seems like a waste of effort but well, i need to do what i have to do.

well, at least ive been conditioning myself to desensitize myself a bit from what's about to happen and ive come up with plans so i wont stop from moving forward. well, its a step forward because it makes me productive in a way.

life is harsh. and so am I

never slow down for anything. never stop for anyone. life is bearable this way since this is how life is basically.
