Kids sometimes are SMARTER! really @@

Yesterday, I was goofing around with my 6-year old cousin and she was asking me “How old are you?” I was feeling retarded and decided I’ll give her a hard time and make her guess (I’m so mean!…BTW, I’m 24 and acting my age except on this story.) I said… I’m 8 why? I said 8 because that’s close to her age and I wanted to tease her about she is so short for her age and how I was way taller than her. She said, “no way! How old are you really?” My other cousin was sitting beside us and she blurted “She’s only 1 year old!” The kid went huh (with the browse forming almost one line, imagine how kids are when they’re like huh?!?!?!)? and then she turned to me and said, “What happened to you? DID YOU RESET?”

Holy Cow! A flying car?

We see it on television, on movies, but have you seen a flying car in a garage? For sure, some of us can’t live without cars especially if you live in LA where traffic is unbelievable. How about China’s roads or Manila? Beat the traffic there! And here I am coming across this news of a flying car. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to take off in the middle of that heavy traffic? Woohoo!

Terrafugia’s Transition is surely a must have for those rich car enthusiasts out there. Surely, this kind of vehicle doesn’t come cheap but who cares? It’s a FLYING CAR! The said flying car is expected to be delivered in 2009 and expected price is $148k (maybe after 10 years we will have more flying cars and prices will drop, dream on!). Well very affordable for the rich. I’m wondering if they will come in different colors too?

Yahoo Mail Sucked Big Time

Yesterday, Yahoo mail really sucked big time! At least for me… and I’m wondering what went wrong? I have been using yahoo mail since time immemorial and I haven’t had so much trouble with it for a long time. I encountered those few short downtime or maybe the internet is just so slow and my page timed out while logging in. Anyhow, yesterday was different! I have two yahoo accounts, one is a .ca and the  other .com. I first logged in into the .ca inbox and everything went smooth. I decided to  check the other inbox so I logged out of the .ca to switch to the .com account and still no problem, I was able to log in. Here goes the problem, when I clicked on the INBOX button… instead of my .com inbox showing up, yahoo mail showed me the .ca account! Weird! I did the whole thing over and over again and sometimes switching to one inbox to another (I logged out before switching of course) worked and most of the time it did not. Most of the time Yahoo mail showed me the wrong INBOX. This is something yahoo must act upon. Cookies and session problem perhaps? Should I completely switch to gmail?

Google Not so Great Anymore?

Is google getting uncool these days?

Spa for Kids?

It’s a “Girl thing” literally! Nowadays, it’s not the ladies alone who get special pampering and treatment in spas. Girls as young as 6 can now enjoy the manicure and massage that we grown-ups crave for. Whoa! Is that too  much or considered spoiling the kids? I’m not really sure because I’m not a mum myself but I think it’s a good way to have those mother-and-daughter bonding sessions or maybe big-sister-kid-siter bonding moments. Some spas which offer this service…

1. Lil Angels Kids Spa (www.kidsspa.com)
2. Spahht at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa in  San Antonio Texas
3. Phantom Horse Spa in Phoenix Arizona
   

How to take a Breather at Work

Most of us don’t even take those well-deserved quick breaks at work to finish up everything before the clock hits 5. Working like this will surely build up and that’s why most of us suffer from overfatigue or stress which will only make us unproductive in the long term. It’s okay to take a breather. Here are some things you can do…

1. Get your  eyes off your computer and focus your eyes on something cold to the eye. If your desk is somewhere located near the window lucky you. Look at the trees or passersby. Observe and let the negative energy flow out your body and mind.

2. Stretch out your limbs, gently massage your neck or just close your eyes for eyes for a minute. (Don’t sleep!)

3. Get a cup of tea? Try to relax a bit

4. Think of something happy like a happy moment.

5. I do this at times but this is not applicable to everyone. Try playing some light games on the internet just to  relax your mind. A little bit of fun is not a crime =) (try www.orisinal.com) or watch a short funny video.

Those are just tips and some things I can recommend to some but you can think about other stuff which fit you. Doing these things is not the same as slacking off. They are meant to make your mind and body a little bit healthier and more productive at work.

Filipinos Love These Stuff

Pinoy stuff! Pinoy Favorites! There is one facebook app which tells “How Pinoy Are You” and it’s kind of fun actually so here’s a list I came about full of common Filipino favorites (in random).

1. Adobo – whether it’s Pork or Chicken adobo or a mix, this is a definite winner on the Filipino table

2. Sisig – a bucket of beer is not complete without this Filipino delicacy

3. Soap opera – prime time bida!

4. Jollibee – best fast food in town, mascott is really cute

5. Friendster – who doesn’t have a Friendster account? my mum doesn’t have one by my 7-year-old cousin has

uhmm.. that’s a short list and anyone who stumbles upon this post can add to it =)
