  It is human nature not to admit when you did not ask for exactly what you wanted when you see it.

  Yesterday’s history, tomorrow’s a mystery, today is a gift, that’s why they call it the present.

  America's Coolest Small Towns

  An article worth reading if you’re looking to travel to a place that is different from the usual suburban areas. I would definitely want to go to Cayucos, Calif. and Saugerties, N.Y.

  Just another american culture. You’re supposed to show off your beautiful ballcap, but the sticker on it gets more attention instead! Manufacturers should put the words “CAUTION: REMOVE THIS BEFORE USE” in red; similar to those stickers found in electronics.

  Batteries need to be loved or else they won't love you.

  Never let it sit for long periods of time without use.

  I Popped the Cherry!

  1. Co-worker 1: We're going to a place where we can eat, there's live music, and hookah.
  2. Me: Really? Hookah? Hmm... I have not tried it before.
  3. Co-worker 2: It's smoking tobacco and it's a nice feeling while you're enjoying food and drinks at the same time.
  4. Co-worker 1: It's awesome and you gotta try.
  5. Me: Hmm.. that would mean I am losing my virginity. LOL
  6. Co-worker 1 & 2: Yes that's right, pop the cherry.
  7. Me: Yeah, indeed. An important moment of my life to try it!
  8. After Thoughts: It was really good to experience hookah for the first time. Especially for someone like me who hasn't smoke in my life. Now that my body is no longer free of smoking contaminants, I have popped the cherry! The added bonus tonight is that we all get to see belly dancing at the restaurant as well.
  9. Bedtime: I'm back home feeling great from my first hookah experience. Today is also the day I unwrapped my new MacBook Pro. Love it so much beyond words. I'm putting away my 5-year old PowerBook G4 finally!

  Two Movies

  The other day I watched a movie called Scoop. It was a movie I enjoyed throughout the night without feeling sleepy. If you like humor, I am sure you will be entertained by Woody Allen. Scoop is a lighthearted movie with a murder mystery plot. The combination of humor and mystery makes it a unique movie to go after. Woody Allen has a serious number of quotes that you’ll want to remember after watching the movie. Here’s one from Sid Waterman that I like.

  The second movie I saw was Unfaithful. The movie reveals how a 11 year-old marriage is subjected to the test of infidelity. The extramarital affair scenes took place at an apartment in Soho, New York City. I love Soho because the cobblestone roads create a special looking identity for the neighborhood. I felt devastated when the wife Connie Sumner committed adultery by falling in love with a 28 year-old heartthrob she met on a windy day. It is indeed tragic to see that happen to a beautiful marriage. The sex scenes were hot; a few occurred in public settings such as a restroom and a theater. Diane Lane (Connie Sumner) was not only sexy and also played very well during the intimate encounters. I recalled the moment where she laid down feeling very tensed and guilty - the sense of denial and yet a strong desire to engage in sexual activity with someone she secretly fell in love. I remembered a movie quote from Connie’s son, Charlie. He likes to say “You’re driving me bonkers.”. I thought that was cute.

  The typical person uses a toaster at most 15 minutes per day. The remaining 1425 minutes of the day the toaster is on display. In other words, 1 percent of the toaster’s time is devoted to utility, while 99 percent is devoted to significance.

  I love you, really. With all due respect, you’re a beautiful person. You’re a credit to your race.
