There’s an old wives’ tale about Chinese New Year that one cannot buy shoes during the 15 days of Chinese New Year. That’s because the Cantonese word for “shoes” sounds like the word for “sigh”, so if you buy shoes during the new year, you’re gonna be sighing the rest of the year.
Well, I’ve been following this superstition for years and I’ve not stopped sighing. Time to put a stop to it. Time to stomp this stupid superstition in the face. Besides, I need shoes. Otherwise, I have no shoes to wear to work on Monday.
Maybe I’ll stop sighing for once in my life.
Reverse superstition in the works?

This just makes me SO angry:
Sri Lankan teen raped by rescuer
If and when he gets caught, castration is the only sentence for him. Otherwise, may the rapist have his pecker pecked off. Someone, do a Bobbit on this animal.

… maybe we’ll have more Sandra Bullocks.
Sandra Bullock donates $1 mil for tsunami
… if women ruled the world
It would be a good thing
No more war
No more hate
Women can fight
But talking’s great
Behind your back
To your face
They’d rather talk
Than murder
“If Women Rule The World”

That’s all I ask of my online friends. While I’ve met most of you, some I haven’t, and it isn’t nice if you are not the person you represent yourself to be online. Know what I mean?
Those I’ve met, by and large, have lived up to their online personalities, which is well and good. Those who haven’t … well, don’t you get tired being at least two persons, one online and the other off? And won’t it get more disjointed over time? Which one is the real you?
Then of course, there are those who are plain silly online and then try to explain that they’re not really like that in real life. Well, why not?
I suppose the Net allows people not to be themselves. But why not? Why be someone else online and say things that you normally won’t in real life? And then have to explain yourself?
If you say what you mean and mean what you say in the first place, there’ll be no misunderstanding, no confusion. Or are you ashamed of the real you?
