speed of light?
How does news travel so fast? I know we’re well into the information age and with all sorts of communication technology, information can travel at the blink of an eye. But it still astounds me how fast some news travels, especially things that involve myself.
For example, just tonight at worship practice, one of the vocalists, Beth, mentioned how she heard that I have an interview next week and that she’d pray for me. Sweet! But I was once again surprised, because I had only gotten the call about the interview earlier that day and only 3 other people knew about, or so I thought. Apparently my mom had talked to her between me telling my mom and me seeing her at practice.
And just last week, same thing. This time, when I was volunteering at school, the secretary inquired about an upcoming opportunity for me. She was of course referring to an interview I had later on that week, but again, I had only found out the day before and had only mentioned it to 3 other people at that point. Still haven’t figured out how she found out so fast.
So news does travel at the speed of light I guess, even when you don’t expect it.

tagged
I was tagged by Gendi in a note on facebook a little while back and hence this post:
So, here’s how it works:
- Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
- Put it on shuffle
- Press play
- For every question/heading (e.g. opening credits, waking up, etc), type the song that’s playing
- When you go to a new question/ heading, press the next button
- Don’t lie
Sound track of my life:
Opening Credits – He’s My Son, Mark Shultz
Waking Up – The Wisdom of Snow (Instrumental), Trans Siberian Orchestra
First Day of High School – Hurt, Christina Aguilera
Falling in Love – Angels Losing Sleep, Our Lady Peace
Fight Song – You Are Worthy Of My Praise, Sonicflood (hmmm….)
Breaking up – La Luna Che Non C’e, Andrea Bocelli
Prom – Will You Worship, Elevator Radio
Sex Scene – Redeemer Saviour Friend, Integrity Worship Singers (ummm….)
Mental Breakdown – We Speak to Nations, Israel Houghton
Driving – This Christmas Day, Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Flashback – Little Lotte…/The Mirror (Angel of Music), Phantom of the Opera
Proposing – Made of Steel, Our Lady Peace
Wedding – Feel Better, Wally (a friend of mine’s original recording)
Birth of Child – The Spectrum Song, Disney
Final Battle – Overture to the Marriage of Figaro, K. 492, Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra
Death scene – O Come O Come Emmanuel, Nicole C. Mullen
Funeral – My Answer Is You, Brian Littrell (yes, I have Brian on my computer, no shame)
Closing Credits – Daughters, John Mayer
hmmm…kind of interesting. Didn’t think so many Christmas songs would come up. Thought John Mayer would have come up more with the amount of tracks I have of him. meh, whatever. ‘Twas a good way to kill time.
I’m suppose to tag 10 other people, but I’ve never been a big fan of these, so I won’t. I hope the time you spent reading this was as…uh…fulfillng as the time that I spent writing this.
1 year
Hmmm…don’t know if I should share this, but whatever, it could be worse… I don’t think with my heart, do I?

So, it’s been 1 year to the day since I started this blog. Lots has happened. Some good, some bad, but all worth it. Here’s to another year of online randomness!
happy pi day!
PS For those of you reading my notes on facebook, please view the original site here. I often add pictures to posts after the fact and those don’t get imported to facebook. Also, embedded youtube videos don’t show up in facebook notes (like the one in yesterday’s post).

Whoever did this, they’re my hero. Who tags a wall with “pi”? hahaha! It’s just so white and nerdy, like me, except that I’m not white, um, but yeah…jokes.
i’m a loner
It’s official, I’m a loner:
I was updating my profile at this one naruto fan website (for those of you don’t know what naruto is, check out the first episode here and tell me you don’t love it) and after I was done and looked at my profile, I was presented with this:
I guess it was bound to get out sooner or later…:P
Not much substance in this post. Just killing time/procrastinating on doing homework before worship practice. Quote of the week, courtesy of Edwin:
Not everyone has such a sublime tuft of hair like you.
ESTJ
Took a short Jung personality test (similar to Myers-Briggs/MBTI) today here. The results:
|
ESTJ – “Administrator”. Much in touch with the external environment. Very responsible. Pillar of strength. 8.7% of total population. |
For those of you don’t know what the letters mean, here’s a quick breakdown, I am:
- extroverted (E) as opposed to introverted (I)
- sensing (S) as opposed to intuitive (N)
- thinking (T) as opposed to feeling (F)
- judging (J) as opposed to perceiving (P)
Side note: I actually scored 50% perceiving, 50% judging, so it could have went either way.
I think it’s pretty accurate. Especially the “Adminstrator” in the description part. What do you think?
