I am nobody. Happy?

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – Too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! They’d advertise – you know!

How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June —
To an admiring Bog!

Emily Dickinson

Like how many times have you ever thought of being a Nobody in this world?
Surely enough, when every little friends of yours has already embarked on a remarkable journey as in found a job, getting newborn babies, rides a Roller Coaster, shopping at Paris, or done something amazing thing you...haven't.

Interestingly, you're feeling a little 'inadequate' for these updates of your friends.
So what are you going to do regarding this? Nothing else than to wonder if you're not dream big enough or being bold to do anything. And the more you're trying to figure out the problem is, the more your thoughts of being a Nobody accumulated in your head.

Worry no more because here's the list of why becoming a Nobody is to be celebrated. And to be noted, did you know Emily Dickinson is one of the delightful people of a Nobody too. So, let's get started!


1. There's always a bigger Somebody.
You aren't Mother Theresa are you? How about Oprah? No? Congratulations. You’re a Nobody.
And I am me! yay!


2. Nobody? No pressure!
This is so true contemplating that you need to update your Twitter even posting a new status on Facebook. At some point, you need to perpetuate your whole life by just being a Somebody. Or leave the social network thingy, how about when you need to leave the house...without putting on your make up or even get dress up. As the author clarified it as cheesy wait until you hear when you’re a Nobody, because you get to be you, just fabulous you.


3. Families of Nobodies are happier. 
Your family? They just want to be Somebody to you. I couldn't agree more with this one. The author just strike the point very clearly. You get the idea don't you?


4. Time gets the final call on Somebody status. 
I'd like to take the name of Charlotte Church that many people have forgotten. Don't know her but familiar with the name?
The author took the name of Picasso or Alfred Wegener since it take a while to get acquaintance of them. She also mentioned those who were famous in their day, but their names are after a long while...forgotten.


5. Being Somebody isn’t always a good thing. 
Hitler was Somebody. Be careful of what you wish for. No comment!


6. Being Somebody is overrated. 
Isn't that true? Definition of overrated; Anything that is given too much credit and hype. Far more true that being a Somebody meant your life is filled with meaningless gratifications and I quote the author; "you question everyone's motive for wanting to be friends." See what overrated means.


7. Nobodies get to keep their own opinions. 
 I love this on a lot! Being a Somebody meant to keep your reputations on what people has expected you to be. If you're being kind-hearted then you have maintain the position like that. A Somebody make people believe in them as long as they keep them happy.


8. For Nobodies, there’s nowhere to go but up.
Meaning that being a Nobody, no one will ever notice your mistakes even if it's huge until you locked up yourself from the world. Nevertheless, Somebodies who're essentially intelligent, talented are afraid to make mistakes. Isn't that perfectly true? Yep when you're a good influence people who has made a mistake and suddenly it diminished their status. I quote the author; "Nobodies enjoy the luxury of risk. After all, they have nothing to lose and everything to gain."


9. Nobodies have more fun.
Why? Because you don't have to crack up your head by pondering how are you going to avoid little hatred, enviousness, grudges etc. When you're a Nobody people would expect least from you. Thus, you will enjoy a pleasant simple life that no Somebody could have wish for. Happy?


10. Nobody achievements make the world go round. 
The author talks about evolution in her tenth list that it came up with the brilliant solution of breaking the process into a bunch of small steps to make it more manageable. She insists that life is like that too. I would say that even if you're a Nobody, you can still make the world as a better place. We're humans after all, aren't we?

A flash in the pan is fun to watch, but the majority of progress in this world comes from the good work of Nobodies. JG

A Little Princess

Everybody loves to be a princess. We crave to be one (err... are you?). Even I do. I still remember back then when I was in my college days, I used to be called a 'Princess' by a friend. I really felt like a real princess only that I doesn't live in a castle.
There's only one thing that inspired me to be a 'princess' and i.e a film by Alfonso CuarĂ³n based upon the novel, A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

 The novel with over hundreds of cover versions 

I've never actually read the book yet but I watched the film when I was little.
And I've been the biggest critic over many films I watched and yet A Little Princess failed to open my mouth. The film is just brilliant in order. Funny, sweet, sad, and every little thing you could imagine of being a princesses.

 The film... Sara and Becky at the attic together 

Becky: Sara… why don’t you tell your stories anymore?
Sara Crewe: They’re just make-believe. They don’t mean anything.
Becky: Oh, but they’ve always meant something to me. There were days I thought I would die, until I heard you talk about the magic.
Sara Crewe: There is no magic, Becky

Music = Inspirations

 Yeah right!

What would you do if you get a repeated song that kept coming in your head while you're doing some important stuff? Sometimes you get distracted by it just to know which song it is, the tunes and rhythms or even trying really hard to remember the lyrics. That's what I love about music so much. It kept me insane for a while that I actually get to think of something worthy than just a rubbish LOL

 This doesn't look like rubbish to me... 

I would say I can't live without music in fact everyone does not. In simple words, I love music. In fact I listen to music everyday all day long and night. Feels like my world is incomplete without music. Because all I need is simply great tunes, good lyrics, and nice rhythms to follow with.

 Keep on dancing people!

Music. Music. Music. Oh well this five letters that brings my life truly wonderful. Why? Because, music is one of my sources of inspirations. Many people these days listen to various kinds of music while doing things in their daily life. Let's see... I listen to music while I do my research and notes. I listen to music while on the subway waiting for the train to reach me. I listen to music while I eat alone (Sad face everyone!). And most times, I listen to music while I browsing through the Internet. When I listened to them, it really soothed my mood till the night. Ahhhhh...

 Is that an iPod? iPhone?

Below are the lists that I found on what music can do (at leas to me):

1. It helps to attained my self improvement and have a better quality life.
2. It can change my state of mind and make me feel relaxed and happy.
3.It stimulates creativity by creating channels of neurons in the brain (I need this badly!). Research has proved that music tunes the brain to higher planes of thinking.
4. It can wake and boost up my creative genius.Click Here
5. If you could just not let me do the thinking alone... people?

 I've never really get the chance to do like that 

Anyway, music is now accessible through many means of network online or offline. I can buy CD's or DVD's or I just logged on to many available websites to upload varieties of music I like. I don't need to tell you what are these networks are because they're plenty of legal ones.

Currently I'm listening to this song by Katy Perry of Firework.

Playing with numbers!

Yes! Talking about numbers makes me sick! But hey not with Sudoku! It seems odd that I've never liked Maths since I was a kid and so I flunked them few times at school. My brain just can't think of any ways to solved Maths problem in a quickest and easiest way. I need a brain wash everyone!

 I used to play Sudoku on newspapers... talking about old times eh!

So listen here, Sudoku involves combination of numbers (see what I meant!). In Sudoku, the goal is to load a 9x9 square grid (nevertheless, other variant emerge). Also, each column and each row encloses a 3x3 sub grid, which agrees to a maximum of 9 numbers to be supplemented to every box. Sounds easy, doesn't it? But the hitch lies here, you can have only one solution, you cannot repeat a number in a horizontal line, vertical line on in a square!

 I missed doing this on the paper

Now, let us look at the origin of Sudoku first. Sudoku, which has been called the Rubik's Cube of the 21st century, was designed by Howard Garns, who was a retired architect and a freelance puzzle constructor. He published his first puzzle in 1979.

Garns was the first to present the square as a puzzle, when he would provide a grid that was partially completed, and have the user fill in the answers. Dell Magazines published the puzzle in its magazine called Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games. The game was originally called Number Place.

The puzzle was then found in Japan by Nikoli, in a paper called Monthly Nikolist, which came out in April of 1984. The puzzle was called Suuji wa dokushin ni kagiru. This means, 'the numbers must occur only once.' Later, the name was abbreviated to Sudoku, in which the Su means number and the Doku means single.

 I managed to solved over 6 Sudoku in less than an hour

Then, the game was changed yet again, as in 1986 some rules were given. The number of givens was reduced to no more than 32, and the puzzles became symmetrical. The first computer version of Sudoku was produced in 1989 for the Commodore 64. In 1995 and 1996, Japanese publisher Yoshimitsu Kanai published more computer generated puzzles for Sudoku.

  Sudoku for Dummies LOL 

Once I did a brief research on Sudoku, I've never wondered myself that it started from America not Japan.
More tips on Sudoku here and online games here.

Hey I have a wish! I want to be a Sudoku Wizard. =) Wanna join me?

Bed

OK this is what I'm going to tell you. My first ever favorite song in the entire world. Why? Well no answer. I guess I really like the tunes and moreover the lyrics are just so sensual and gorgeous. I kept on thinking about a guy that I've crush with long time back because of this song. And I've been listening to this for ages. It's an old song but I still remember it words by words. I'm the great! LOL

This song entitled 'Bed' sang by J. Holiday. This song has gone through many versions of its kind with a lot of singers involved.
 And this is the how the lyrics looks like. No warning intended though...


[Verse One:]
Girl, change into that Victoria Secret thing that I like
Alright
Okay
Tonight you're having me your way
Perfume
Spray it there
Put our love in the air
Now put me right next to you
Finna raise temp' in the room
First rub my back like you do
Right there (uh huh) right there (uh)
You touch me like you care
Now stop
And let me repay you for the week that you've been through
Workin' that nine to five and stayin' cute like you do
Oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus:]
I love it (I love it)
You love it (you love it)
Everytime (everytime)
We touchin' (we touchin')
I want it (I want it)
You want it (you want it)
I'll see you (see you)
In the mornin' (in the mornin')

[Chorus:]
Wanna put my fingers through your hair
Wrap me up in your legs
And love you till your eyes roll back
I'm tryna put you to bed, bed, bed
I'ma put you to bed, bed, bed
Then I'ma rock ya body
Turn you over
Love is war, I'm your soldier
Touchin' you like it's our first time
I'ma put you to bed, bed, bed
I'ma put you to bed, bed, bed

[Verse Two:]
I'm starin' at you while you're sleep
Irreplaceable beauty
Put my face up in your neck and breathe (Ooh, breathe)
Take you into my senses
Wake up it's time to finish
Round two, round two
Matter of fact, it's closer to three
She like, "How long I been sleep?"
Shawty kisses turn into the sweetest dreams
Like give it to me
And I can feel her tell me
"My angel, this is wonderful
Thanks for letting me bless ya"
Come down, fly right
Drift back into heaven
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge:]
Watch the sunlight peak over the horizon
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
The sun ain't the only thing that's shinin'
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Now I'ma send you out into the world with my love
Tell everybody, Ay
Aay, Ay-ay-ay, Aay, Ay-ay-ay, Aay, Ay-ay-ay, Ay

So what do you think? LOL Isn't that fun to read? I meant in a polite way that this song really makes you go around the floor with your girl/boy. Ahhhh...
