April 2012 Photo-a-Day Part 2

April 11. Where you ate breakfast.  That's the breakfast table with all the regulars - Milo, Nido, Gardenia, scrambled eggs, etc,

April 12. Stairs.  This was taken about two hours into April 13 but I was just going home so I declare that it still counts at April 12.=)

April 13. Something you found.  I asked Richard what I should take a photo of that meets this challenge.  He suggested the pearl earrings and I agreed.  He bought the earrings in China years ago and I have misplaced it a LOT of times.  As with many other things.  I have developed a good spider sense if things are irretrievably lost or just misplaced and this was the latter.  I knew it would turn up sometime.  The Vicks, I actually found on THE day under my drawer at work while I was plugging in the chargers.=)

April 14. How you feel today.  Finished a very small bag of M&Ms.  I feel like Red because it's finally the weekend!

April 15. Sunset.  Not really a sunset photo but this was sunset hour.  Richard and I were at Jollibee after checking out cars at Ford.

April 16. Flower.  It was really dark at the area where I took this.  I was tempted to improvise like take a photo of my flower printed top instead but I ventured intodarkness for a few minutes to do the assignment.  The rule-abider in me was happy.=)

Hmm, there are no people in these photos.  I will work them in this week.

Filipino Friday 3: Reading Habits and Book Formats

Reading Habits and Book Formats . Where and how do you read? Can you read anywhere and everywhere, or do you need a certain place/mood/state of mind to get reading? Do you read more in the morning or at night or any minute that you can? Where and how do you usually read? Are you exclusively for print, or do you go for ebooks more than print? Have you ever tried audiobooks? I am old school.  Even as most books now have digital versions, I still prefer the physical, ink-on-paper variety.  I like holding a real book, flipping the pages and being able to see my progress based on the thickness of read/unread pages.  Somehow, I feel more engaged and focused reading a physical book vs. from a gadget. I very rarely reread books so most of my collection just sit on the shelf after I'm done with them.  I feel it's a waste of precious trees if they are not shared with others.  So I started a Google doc at work where the team can list down their collections and anybod...

Trivia and Reading

Image
I am currently reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin and I am inspired.  It’s about the author’s year-long quest to be happier.  It’s purposeful and practical and has lot of tips that I can apply or have started doing. Rubin focused on different areas every month and for May, it was Be Serious About Play.  The author was trying to go back to activities she enjoyed as a child. This led me to also think about a favorite childhood pastime, which was collecting trivia.  The Philippine Daily Inquirer used to run a trivia section by Bong Barrameda and I would religiously cut and paste them onto scratch papers, which I would then collate and read again and again.  Nerd zone! Not only that, I also kept a trivia notebook where I researched and wrote down interesting information like areas of study, capital cities, historical figures, scientists and discoveries, everything!  That was fun for me.  I was about to say they were useless info, ...

Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer

Image
There is something to be said for collective recommendations like bestsellers list.  I found this title on such list at Fully Booked, read a few pages and decided to buy it.  I was intrigued by the theme of the book which is memory, specifically, how the author started as a journalist covering the US Memory Championships and ended up as a contender in the finals of the same competition one year later. It claims that with proper training, one's memory can be improved to be at par with the top mental athletes of the world.  Memory training has become an esoteric discipline because we practically do not need to remember a lot these days.  Information is very easy to retrieve from electronic devices and what not.  You just need basic search terms and the Google provides the information you need and more. Photo from Rainy Day Books I have to admit I rely on external memory a lot.  I can recall birthdays of my very close family members but outside of tha...
