Fat = Security?
I always hear this conversation from some couples.
"My boyfriend is fat. Not very fat but fat. He needs to lose weight."
Sounds familiar? I am pretty sure I am not the only one who hears it.
Girls always think their boyfriends are fat... even just a little flab. I guess they all wanted them to have six packs and iron chest deep down in their imagination.
BUT... if you look around or at pictures on Facebook, you will see a bigger guy with a super hot girl. Not muscle big but you know... So why do some girls think their boyfriends are fat with even just a little flab? When they are super big like Michael Moore, they are ok with it? Is it because super big proving a sense of security while a bit fat is posed as weak? I don't get it. Sure, fat guys need love, too, but this is way too complicated for me.

Makes You Think: 7
According to the First Law of Thermodynamics, energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can be converted into.
So... how did we have energy in the first place? Something must start the chain.

Good Dream Bad Dream
I had two good/great dreams in two days.
First one was about me getting a job. That was really exciting.
The second one was being the top 100 students in a school; which surprises me when I heard my name.
The bad thing about them is that they are just a dream... I don't like my dreams keep giving me false hope.

Selfish Animal
Men are animals. We all knew that, especially from women's perspective.
And animals don't share.
I used to think sharing is a nice way to communicate with others and be nice.
When it comes to love, I wouldn't share.
I am selfish that way and I am a jealous type.
Any men will go crazy inside if their other half has feelings or meeting with an ex or being flirty with some other men. I guess women will go crazy like that, too. Also, don't use an excuse of being a flirty person yourself; that means you look like a whore or man-whore. You can control your way of approaching and communicating with people.
What I really want to or mean to say is, everybody is selfish when it comes to love whether you are men or women. No one wants to share their love, typical one-on-one love, or feel their love is being shared with other people. Everybody wants to be their one and only, not one and many.

Happy Technological 2011
Happy new year!
Well, I am 9 days late but it still counts as a new year. 9/365... that's a small fraction of a year.
Anyways, I hope I have a good year or better year. Not necessary the best but better than last quarter of 2010 for sure.
Hmm... why am I writing this again?
Oh yeah, I am going to talk about technology.
Few days ago, Research In Motion (RIM aka Blackberry company) announced the PlayBook. Yet another tablet to challenge the insanely popular and successful iPad. I am excited about it because RIM has some nice invention lately with the BlackBerry Torch and now the PlayBook. I like Apple, too, but I don't like it as much when too many people have it. I'll wait for the iPhone 5 or iPad 2 to come out.
Let's veer off the technology topic just a bit. 10 years/ a decade ago in September, 9/11 happened. 10 years, that's how much I've grown old. It still seems surreal about 9/11. I was at school watching the rarely-used CRT TV in the hallway thinking it was a hoax.
10 years later, what do we have for technology? Plasma TV, LCD TV, LED TV, LED 3D TV. Just short 10 years and technology has advanced so much. From a bulky computer monitor, we now have flat screen monitor with HDMI adapters to connect to TV, TiVo, PVR, HD monitors. Let's not forget the laptop, netbook, smartphone, bluetooth and now tablets. We advanced so much in technology that we can't possible catch up to it. One minute you have the latest technology, the next minute your product has be up-staged by an upgraded model. Technology goes by so fast and yet our living style doesn't change much. We still stuck in traffic jam, we still manage to wake up late and late for work or school. Does all these technology really help us improve our lives or they are just there to entertain us as we gradually distance ourselves from other human beings? We are always too occupy with Facebook or Twitter and Internet. We play video games online at home. We play sports at home on Wii Sport. We don't go out and see the society anymore. Even when we do, we'll be looking at our smartphones, texting or going online instead of talking to the person in front of you.
Here's a great example. During the holidays, I witnessed (I assume they are a young couple) a table of a 20ish boy and girl at dinner having dinner. They had brief conversations during dinner. After the meal, they each whipped out their iPhones and go online or text each other, I don't know. The point is, there are facing each other and yet they prefer to play with their phone rather than having a conversation. They don't hate each other or bored of each other so why is there no conversations between them? I don't understand the mind of teens, maybe I am getting old or just traditional. I still prefer the conversations over and during meals instead of playing on my phone.
It's nice that our technology helps improve our entertainment aspect of life but I don't think it hugely affect our daily normal routine. Sure, it's ironic that I am blogging online but I've been doing that for years now. It's just a different domain from 10 years ago but overall, nothing has changed. For me, I don't really NEED the best technology in the world. I want to but I don't NEED it. Sometimes, we should be thankful for what we have now and not be too greedy. We are already living a healthier life than our grandparents. We may or may not be happier but theirs were definitely simpler. Perhaps, our generation becomes less patient at the same time since everything is so fast; any delays are not acceptable.
P.S.: I am not going to argue about medical technology and how they improve our lives until they find a cure for AIDS, HA! If I do, it'll take a long time to type.
