 noticed you... noticing me
(... but I freaking chickened out and didn't do anything about it )

On this beautiful Saturday afternoon, I was at the gym for my regular grind and sweat. As I was doing my tricep pulls, I noticed that I had a great view of this cute dude doing his leg presses. Tall, Asian, beautiful build, black jersey and red basketball shorts. sigh...

Then he turned around and threw a few glances my way. heh heh heh! And for the next half hour or so, he stayed within a few metres in my proximity (I swear it wasn't just me doing the stalking!). Threw a few more glances and made eye contact.

But then the dude dropped off the radar and I had already went into overtime for my workout, so I called it a day and headed to the changerooms. On my way there, as I reached the end of the hallway, dude appeared from around the corner! Eye contact #2 was made for a split sec but I spazzed and looked at my feet as we passed each other. Then I kicked myself in the changeroom for not smiling or holding eye contact for longer, and swore that I will say hi the next time I see him, if I ever do.

As I was walking up the stairs to leave the building, it turned out that he was still there (!!). Made eye contact #3 and we practically collided as we were trying to get out the door. But damn my nerves, my throat closed and I threw my eyes back down to look at my scuffed shoes.

Aaaaand... we parted ways outside the doors.

Real smooth, Amy. You blew three chances.
epic fail.

Thank you, Britain's Got Talent 2009!! You were my main source of entertainment during these past few stressful weeks

(Each and every one of the vids I post here were absolutely amaaazing to me - they made me jump up and down in my seat, kept me mesmerized, or calmed my heart in a way that only music can. Hope you love 'em too )

the cable guy

My internet connection has been throwing tantrums for the last couple of days, which wasn't that cool since finals are starting soon (omg tomorrow!!) and I rely on the web for quick wiki searches and for entertainment during my study breaks. After a few fruitless attempts of fiddling with the wires around my modem and router, the rogers rep helping me through the phone gave up and decided to dispatch a man over. 

Ai, so I had to skip my open lab study time today to wait for the cable guy at home.

Like the technical magician that I never was, he whirled around some cable lines and redirected some signals that sent my laptop busting back into cyberspace. Which was cool. But what was more cool that the fascinating and enlightening conversation that I had with him afterwards.

It turns out that his wife is a professor, and she has been educated in homeopathic medicine. He talked about some really cool cases he's seen himself of the effects of homeopathy, and he talked about the philosophy and science behind the practice. He told me about the "aura" of frequencies that surrounds each being, how these (magnetic?) fields can be manipulated to reset the natural, perfect order of the body. And on top of that, some of this 'resetting' comes not just from the medicine themselves, but also from the spiritual focus and intentions of the person.

This might come off as a little wifty-wafty, but I love this kind of stuff. As much as my academic background instructs me to look for evidence that comes from rigid scientific protocols, the mysteries of this world upon which science barely breathes on continue to intrigue me. There are incredible things out there that aren't black and white. I have no idea what they are, but they really make this world that much more beautiful and captivating.
