On a completely different note:

LucoZade is some Powerfull stuff!!

it keeps you extra extra dangerously alert... and it only comes in a small 60 ml bottle.

it got me through a heck of a lot of cramming before an exam lool...

I wouldn't regret drinking it for the world, haha.. but seeing its crazy effects, I can actually class it as a "Dangerous Drug" !

What Technology has brought us!

Last night, I was watching random home made Youtube videos, as usual, and I heard something about "BlogTV"... so i asked our friend, Mr.Google, not knowing what to expect, and clicked the link that came up..

... and Voilà..!

 a window into a very different worldd..

.. a world where any random person anywhere on this globe broadcasts a live video of themselves and there's a chat box on the side where people could comment, ask questions, and acutally have a proper discussion with the person in the video!!

By stumbling upon this site, lemme tell you, i could not believe the extent of what technology has brought us!
It's amazing how you type something and immediately you get a response from the person in the video stream (or whatever its supposed to be called..)
So, to cut the description short, it's like Live YouTubing, where the live video broadcaster can have conversations with the commenters.

There is definitely room for people to abuse this form of random stranger communication, especially with all those cyber weirdos out there :/

The broadcasted stuff I've seen so far included people playing guitar, singing, (some very talented, and others so so) comedy stuff, diy craft making, and even just sitting there staring at the cam doing nothing or responding to random topics with the "typers" on the chat.

One broadcaster that really caught my interest was this talented artist that was broadcasting himself as part of a project he called "My Space".

He was actually living for a whole week in a cardboard box in an art gallery in Miami, where visitors could peek through peepholes to see him. His forms of communication included internet connection and a mobile phone. 

It was interesting to chat with him through his video broadcast, because he explained how his project experiments with human interaction and how much it has changed with technology. 

I asked about how he gets his food, and believe it or not it's the random people visiting him that offer him food, and sometimes in exchange for some of his art work that he has displayed in his 'box'. .. aint that interesting?

yeah so i think BlogTV its an interesting place to visit once in a while, see what's out there.
I DO advise to beware of the weirdos, and i defiantly do not recommend this site for young internet surfers, due to some unnecessary hater and uncensored comments that may be found :p

enjoy y'all!


~Fact of the day:
Starting uni again made me realize I NEED to be a super extra diligent student this year.. looks like my life will depend on it.

Compare the MeerKaT!

I discovered something at a trip to the local zoo...

...that I am NOT alone with my way of sleeping!

Thanks to a little animal called a Meerkat..  ( a.k.a "Timone" from the Lion King)

It's just that if I am not tucked comfortably in my bed, I Do tend to sleep in peculiar ways.. (hence the "chennech rebyana" comments :p)

I'll explain 2 common scenarios.. all with photographic evidence.

1.  I'm on my laptop late at night... procrastinating sleep as usual.. and for those who don't know me, I only sleep to live :p

Ya so im on my lapptop typing or browsing or whatever.. then i get this wave of sleepiness without any warning and my eyes close and my brain shuts down.. and i fall into a sleep where I would most likely be woken-up from either laptop sounds or the early morning sun.

a virtual doodle to explain :p..

2.  I'm curled up on my couch watching TV (infomercials still count as tv ;p) trying to fight the sleepiness.

 I surrender and rest my head a bit by putting it down ... and before I know, it I fall into a semi sleep kinda looking like this:

Back pain or a nagging voice from someone telling me to go to bed wakes me up..

and a flaat tebbe66e77 would be the next comfy sleeping option like so:

  

"simples"

Scrub iT !

Scrubbing-in and assisting in Theatre must have been the coolest experience ever...

yeah they were tiring long days and all, but atleast I got to know a hot McDreamy-ish surgeon!

He was so cool that while operating and drilling screws into bones, he bobs his head, singing along to "Grease Lightning.."  "Arr-Ess-Pei-Eee-See-Tee... " and sometimes he adds a little booty shake too.. haha ;p

and when he gets bored during the procedures, he asks us stupid jokes like "why did the chicken cross the road.." lol!

Don't get me wrong, the dude definitely knows what he's doing, and he makes a pretty darn good job at it too..

Who ever said that males can not multi-task?
well, maybe hot surgeons are just an exception ;p

He definitely made the experience more enjoyable.. and I Thank him for bringing a sense of humor into this somewhat brutal profession of his.

Unrelated fact of the day:
Don't accidently squirt toothpaste into your eye... it hurts, trust me  :/
