Taiwanese quote

I remember a quote my Taiwanese friend  shared to me once... She mentioned it in her language and I couldn't remember the exact saying ( give me a break...im not Taiwanese) but i sure do remember its english translation...

" Find someone who'll love you, not someone who's at par with you.."

Yeah, it's a subtle way of saying that the female race is becoming superior and that there are no equivalent number of men to choose from, so just settle for someone who'll give you all your whims and wants even if he cant carry out a decent conversation or dig the depths of your humor .    Harse, eh? oh well.. my point is this quote is flawed (Note: this is my own perspective..others might argue).  I wonder if the Taiwanese would  kick my ass if i altered their  ancient quote..tihee...  My version of the quote would be:

"Find someone who's at par with you, and teach that  someone to love you.."

Aaaaaah...cruel..hahaha. 

wine class

Night class on wine tasting.As if what I'm doing now is not enough...I add this on top of my de-stressing program :). Give me 3-4 months and hell I'll be a wine connoisseur. tiheee..

Emotional Roller Coaster

I've been in an emotional roller coaster these past few weeks. One minute i'm exceedingly happy hearing about long overdue engagements, marriage vows exchanged and rekindled relationships. The next minute i would get all upset and sad about accidental  and health related deaths , sick friends and of course our country's economy (boohoo..).  But what can I do? How would I be able to keep myself from feeling this way? I can't just  move to Timbuktu, build my own teepee and listen to my i-pod all day just to spare me from receiving this types of news and thus preventing me from such emotional rollercoaster, or can I? That is.. if I had the choice. A lot of factors prevent me from leaving (i.e. i dont even know how much a plane ticket to timbuktu's worth or better yet where timbuktu is and i havent had enough time to download all my favorite songs into my mp3 player..lol) and shutting myself out from this crazy emotional world I live in. If there's such a thing as an "emotion balancer" i would be happy to purchase one. But I guess inventions like these don't exist, otherwise some people would try to purchase, use it and mutate into passive creatures..not too happy and not too sad. Oh well, i  think this is just hormonal. It's probably best  to attribute my emotive episodes to hormones rather than be stamped as a looney!

classical work

Currently working on two classical pieces (Waltz from sleeping beauty and Spring from Four Seasons). Haaay..will be looking forward to the day I can play  "Flight of the Bumblebee" (which  probably i'll be able to play 50 years from now..?!!? yay :))

light sensitive experiment

How do you hide a wine/beer fermentor in a lab full of Phd's?  stamp a "light-sensitive  experiment" label on it. Cool.  Lesson I learned not from   graduate students quiénes son drunkards but from a  Molecular Biologist slash  Dr. slash  friend.  The key though to all  life lessons is application...hmmmm...now, how  would I  hide  a barbeque grill inside my lab?.. i wonder.
