diva

May 31, 2009

the wireless connection is acting very diva-ish and it’s not even funny.

it just seemed impossible to configure the wireless via the router and the modem. i tried and tried and tried, and gave up and then retry, but to no avail.

and with the stubbornness in me that is kicking, i refuse to bow down to this challenge. but it is really getting on my nerves, sometimes.

oh well…. got to bring in the experts, soon. so who are the experts out there?

mars and venus

May 29, 2009

the never-ending story of mars and venus, and the never-ending war that the two planet’s inhabitants were in.

amusing read, though i have to warn you, i did not censor off the cursing and vulgarities. cause it will then rid off the originality and humor. so, if you’re under 18, reader’s discretion is highly advised.

enjoy!!

Here’s a prime example of “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” offered by an English professor from the University of Phoenix.

The professor told his class one day: “Today we are going to experiment a new form called the tandem theory. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting his/her immediate right. As homework tonight, one of you will start the first paragraph of a short story. You will email your partner that paragraph and send a copy to me.

The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story and then send it back, also sending another copy to me. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back-and-forth. Remember to reread what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. There is to be absolutely no talking outside of the emails and anything you wish to say must be written in the email. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached. “

The following was actually turned in by two of his students, Rebecca and Gary.

———————————————————————————————————

THE STORY

(first paragraph by Rebecca)

At first Laurie couldn’t decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile,which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question.

(second paragraph by Gary)

Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. “A.S Harris to Geostation 17,” he said into his transgalactic communicator. “Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far…” But before he could sign off a bluish particle BEAM FLASHED out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship’s cargo bay. The jolt from the ship sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.

(Rebecca)

He bumped his head and almost died immediately, but not before he felt one last pang of regret for physically brutalizing the one woman who had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stop its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. “Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel,” Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited and bored her. She stared out her window, dreaming of her youth, when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspaper to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. “Why must one lose one’s innocence to become a woman?” she wondered wistfully.

(Gary)

Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Anudrian mothership launched the f irst of its lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks pushed the Unilateral Aerospace Disarmanent Treaty through the Congress had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anudrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile enter the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceiveably massive explosion, which vaporized poor, stupid Laurie.

(Rebecca)

This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic semi-literate adolescent.

(Gary)

Yeah? Well, my writing partner is a self-centered, tedious neurotic! Whose attempt at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium. “Oh, shall I have chamomile tea? Or shall I have some other sort of F**ING TEA???! Oh no, WHAT AM I to do? I’m such an air-headed bimbo who reads too many Danielle Steele novels!”

(Rebecca)

A**hole

(Gary)

B*tch

(Rebecca)

F**K YOU – YOU NEANDERTHAL

(Gary)

Go drink some tea – whore

(Professor)

A+ ……. I really liked this one.

final thoughts

May 28, 2009

fine. i am not paying 10 bucks for angels and demons. and that is final.

as i mentioned, i was halfway through the book and then the disoriented villain finally showed up – carmelengo carlo ventresca. i don’t have to be a genius to know that he is the bad guy. as soon as this character appear, i knew it in my gut that he is the secretive janos, a self proclaimed illuminati aimed to destroy vatican city. but he doesn’t want to destroy it, but rather as insane as he is, he wanted all believer to turn back to God, through fear and horror.

i think he is seriously mentally ill, and hence the audible hallucination that he had been listening, and most likely a paranoid schizophrenic with grandoise delusions – how “God” kept telling him that he is the one to turn the people back to their faith, and how science had been persecuting the church, and science being the demon.

well, honestly, upon reading the beginning of the chase, searching for the four missing prifereti, i began to get bored and i skipped all that part and jumped straight to the end where the antimatter was sent up to the air in the heli and robert langdon, being the hero he is, jumped out from the aircraft and landed without dying, and then how the carmelengo being an in-vetro child of the late pope and so on and so forth…. it’s boring me!!!!

and my opinion of this book? though i skipped quite a chunk and got to the end, it is a waste of my time!!! argh!! da vincci code is slightly better written than angels and demons. at least the storyline of da vincci code, as flawed and distorted it is, is more intriguing.

so i’ll give this movie a pass. it’s not worth the 10 bucks. oh, no more dan brown. not a fan anymore. i’ll stick to my favorite detective with an egg-shaped head and ridiculous moustache – hercule poirot.

second thought

May 27, 2009

all the while, i’d always wanted to dash to the cinema and grab myself a ticket for that tom hanks movie everyone’s talking about? yeah that one!! the one about angels and then about the demons.

now, the one thing that is holding me like a straitjacket from rushing to the theater is the fact that i am not done with the book. there is always this thing with me bout movies created based on novels. i have to read the book before watching the movie (well, except for LOTR — too long and i lost patience) because i want to scrutinize the movie and critically compare the scenes on screen to the scenes on paper.

but anyways, i am almost halfway through the book, at the part where langdon and vittoria were flown to the vatican city escorted by some funny looking swiss guard, yeah still early and way before all those, and i quote steph “people running around in circles only to realise that the culprit behind all this is right in front of their eyes”.

now upon reading stephy’s review on the movie, i hesitated, and then i ponder. should i pay ten bucks just to see people running in circles and then realizing the bad guy is actually all along someone they knew?? this is old, you know, this kind of plot!!!

come on!! if this is the end of the story, then dan brown doesn’t have to write another book. cause isn’t this the same as the da vincci code???? langdon ran round and round just to realize the sir-what’s-his-name whom he highly respected is the mastermind behind all sinister plans.

*sigh* and now it makes me hesitate in finish the book, too. but no worries. i’ll finish what i had started. will still read it through and then decide whether to hit the cinema for the show. and i prophesied that i won’t, as most likely i’ll pirate it over the internet.

but it does give me second thought on catching the movie at the theater. it does.

the question

May 26, 2009

to be or not to be: that is the question

the famous Shakespearean quote from hamlet, simply translates into the modern english of to die or not to die. is it better dead than alive?

and here, in my own troubled world, i pose the same question: to dye or not to dye.

what. do you expect me to ask the same melodramatic life over death issue? Shakespear’s no doubt one of the greatest writer ever, but with all his very gloom and melancholy writings, i don’t think i can survive another page without pondering over life’s essence in all negativity. why is life so miserable and sad in the world of shakespear? all the taboos and kinks and gloom and hatred and sorrows… that probably is cause he is a sad person, indulging in all his emo-ness and hence the emo plays he wrote.

but back to MY question: to dye or not to dye, that is the question. girls are getting really, really vain. wait. make that boys are getting extremely vain. but girls have got more things to take care of. our skin, our eyelash, our eyebrows, nails, everything. and of course hair, too.

and here’s my problem. i love my hair indefinitely. i think my hair is gorgeous *ahem* pardon my self exaltation here, but let me put it straight. i love my hair. that’s it. and out of this love, it branches out numerous options to making the best of my hair, like making it even more gorgeous than it already is (which sad to say the only thing i ever did is to artificially alter the color of my hair).

with my current hairstyle, well not much style to it considering it hasn’t been scissored since December 2008. i adore the length and perhaps the somewhat out-of-style style, but i’m not so sure i’m a fan of my hair color. you see, i colored my gorgeous jet black locks into a darker brown, which of course makes not much difference to the original hair color, when you newly colored it, that is. but as time flies, the color fades into a slightly redder hue of brown. which is fine with me except for one tiny little problem.

what problem? the grow outs!!!!!! the dark original virgin hair color at the root! well, if money is no issue, i would have touch up my roots ages ago and have my hair steamed and treatmented. but since money is an issue here, i don’t see myself running to the salon everytime a milimeter of my dark hair grows out.

so now i have bout 2 inches of dark out grow at the root, and i am pondering life as hamlet pondered death. to dye or not to dye, that is the question. to color it is no issue. it doesn’t cost a bomb for that. but the issue is the recurring issue. each time you have your hair tinted, it grows out and the ugly dark roots issue recurs. and now, i thought i’d like to grow back my lovely hair without coloring it. that is great idea considering the disappearance of ugly dark roots in the future, but then there is another problem that one has got to deal: it takes ages to grow hair out and i’ll have to be stuck with ugly hair for ages :S

so i’m stuck with a dilemma: to dye or not to dye, now THAT is the question.

here’s one little problem

May 24, 2009

that leads on to a massive headache *groan*

so someone’s shifted out, and hence the router and modem has to be relocated to another’s newly acquired laptop. not much of an issue there, since it can go online without any problem (in fact i am using the said laptop blogging away right now).

but there is a problem. the problem lies with the netbook. yes. my netbook. i can’t connect to the internet at all!! well, not exactly, but let me lay out my problem:

wifi’s connect to the wireless network, and the little icon tells me connection is perfect. great!! wifi detected, connection perfect, BUT i can’t access the net. nope. nothing. forget about msn. i can’t even log on to google.com

so i tried and i tried, accessing the wireless router trying to configure stuff. but to no avail. tried to use the wired connection onto my laptop, to no avail (got to install the modem using a cd, which, sadly, i can’t as i do not have an optical drive). so.. i tried whatever magic that my friend told me, enabling those DHCP or what nots (heck lot of jargons that i have no clue about), trying to enable this and that, change the network key…. but nothing is working!!!!!!! and i can access the internet perfect yesterday until the switch of the modems, and i was way too tired and slept without trying out the wifi…

argh!!!! i am so frustrated now and i want to get my own mobile internet modem, you know like celcom or maxis… i am frustrated and i am now sitting on her floor – her ants infested floor and i have ants biting me all over…

my life is so miserable someone.. some tech savvy one…. help me please with this problem before i spend money subscribing maxis or celcom broadband!!!!
