On My New Look

On Haircuts

Shorter hair is a perfect look for the summer! Does this new look include a new attitude? It seems like it for m. Even before when I was frustrated or down, I would tend to cut my locks just because… I was badtrip or something. I have a subconscious hope that if I a have a so-called new look my outlook in life will also be fresh and new.

Was it the hair or the hoop earrings that gave a me a little push of confidence?

You tell me.

Movie 4: Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Vicky and Cristina are two young American women who come holiday. Vicky is sensible and holiday. Vicky is sensible and engaged to be married; Cristina is emotionally and sexually adventurous. They meet a flamboyant artist, Juan Antonio, and his beautiful but insane ex-wife, Maria Elena that results in a hilarious and harrowing experience as they all become amorously entangled.

I found the movie attention grabbing because it gave a glimpse of the Spanish culture, particularly picturesque sights of Barcelona and Oviedo. In addition, the characters were fascinating as they interacted in a complex twist of interesting relationships. There were many punch lines or so-called quotable quotes in halting English that struck me. Yes, call me a hopeless romantic.

Only unfulfilled love is romantic. You need to find the missing ingredient to make your love complete. What makes it romantic is that you have something to look forward in the course of finally fulfilling your unfulfilled feelings. Nevertheless, once you have found the missing piece, would emotion still be the same?

Love is complicated. Two people may be meant for each other and may not be meant for each other. Love is a contradiction.

On Social Networks

Everyone is connected in one way or another. An ex-significant other may be the schoolmate of one of your colleagues. This colleague may know the current significant other of another colleague. Thus, the current significant other your other colleague may know your ex-significant other.

Confusing? I guess that is why there is an emergence of various social networking sites. Site A helps you connect and share with the people in your life. Site B claims that it is a place for your friends. Site C focuses on helping you stay in touch with friends and discover new people and things that are important to you. Site D strengthens and extends your existing network of trusted contacts.

These sites suddenly find connections through the relationships you currently have. It may seem be interesting to find out that you are related to this certain someone in some way but on the other hand, it may also be freaky because the world it getting smaller which is a great advantage for stalkers.

So, should I kill my online life?

On Not Meant To Be

There are times when one subconsciously feels that there are things that needs to be attended too. For instance --- work. At the back of one's head one cannot help but think about those work eklavush. Even if it is not that urgent, the mind wanders how to get things done especially with all those "cuts" -- there is no security.

I do not know what I ate, but for the past two days I left the office at past eight. Take note, my manager or lead did not ask me to stay. It was my own initiative to "work". As if that was not enough, tonight I brought home work! Then again, one of the files I copied was corrupted.

It is not meant to be ... I guess.

On Social Networking Sites

There are just too many of you!

Things to Check Before Going Down A Vehicle

1. Radio
2. AC
3. Lights
4. Engine
5. Lock
6. Alarm

One would think everything was covered in the list above. But guess what? When we got back to the car the window at the driver's side what 100% open! *Toink* How would the driver not notice that the window was still wide open when she went down the vehicle?

I honestly do not know since I was not the one who left it. Good thing nothing was stolen (as if!), and it did not rain or else...
