The Power of Imagination

 

Hubby is always speaking about "The Power of Imagination". If you believe enough in something, you will end up achieving it. For him this always comes through, and he really believes in the things that he want in life. But in my family it seems that we end up getting the things that we fear the most...

Question of the day - Knocking and entering

 

Is it normal to enter a house if you knock on the door and noone answers? Do you really have to lock your door with a key to keep neighbors from entering?

It's great that neighbors feel so comfortable that they enter your house whenever they want to, but it's not always you want to have visits.

If you have a big glassdoor facing the front garden, that you sit right next to the whole day, should it be necessary to lock it with a key everytime you go to the kitchen or the toilet, just to keep the neighbors from coming in and surprising you in the toilet?

And the funniest part of all is when they ask you why you did not lock the door. Does that mean you have the right to enter any door that is unlocked?!?

Just wondering...

Poem of the Day: Jose Rizal - Mi último adiós

 

"Mi último adiós" (Spanish for "My Last Farewell") is a poem written by Philippine national hero José Rizal on the eve of his execution on December 30, 1896. Although the poem was untitled, this title served as an artifice useful as a quick reference.

This poem was one of the last notes he wrote before his execution. Another that he had written before his death was found in his shoe but because the text could not be read it remains a mystery.

All work and no play

 

All work and no play makes the random ramblings incredibly boring. The funny thing is that it seems like the more I work, the less I earn. Maybe I should stop working and become a millionaire?!? Hah, that would be something...

Lately I've been watching a new tv-show; How To Make It In America, and I've got the theme song on my brain. Could have been the theme song of my life anyway...

Quote of the day - Bauer

 

"If typos were terrorists, I would be Jack Bauer"

Said by Daniel Grosvenor on "Freak like me" (BBC3):
I was walking down Queen Street with Nate and Paula a few months back when two girls shoved a camera in our faces and asked “Do you do anything weird?” Paula, who is far too helpful for her own good, made us stop and think intently about this before chirping up with “Well, I only use toilet paper if the number of sheets is divisible by four. He always takes photographs of his food, and he’s a Grammar Nazi.”

The girls excitedly interviewed us then scuttled off and we carried about our day. Being attacked by random people on Queen Street is actually quite common so we didn’t think too much of it, but about a month later I got a call from Endemol saying: “We loved your audition tape. Can we put you in our programme?”

Apparently ranting about why I’d never date a girl who couldn’t differentiate between you’re and your is now classed as an audition!
