Rant brb and nature calls

This is a very old text that never got posted .. but I seem to be pasting it constantly so I decided to post it.

I've always considered chatting something you do while doing something else, so to me it has never been something to that keeps work on hiatus , I don’t jump and drop everything because my IM beeped in my ear ...

If you can't answer just don't, that is fine by me. A note to those who take offense at those who leave without saying goodbye: don't ! When someone is leaving (often in a hurry) you are *the last person on their mind* ..

Of course I do find excusable, although unpractical, people who need to say ‘brb’ (often 30 times an hour when they are busy). I tell them to just go ... we're all busy, we all have jobs or better things to do than chat.

I rarely use the ‘brb’ personally, not by lack of courtesy, but... Well imagine telling 30 people that you will be back in a min...

(plus i personally don’t like using the trendy-now-common shorthands like lol).

And then you have people who are inexcusable... 'brb, nature calling and its a big one'. Seriously!?

I don't care and I don't want to know; I am rarely disgusted, so it's not the image that bothers me; but I can feel the stupidity causing a couple of my neurons to commit suicide by association to that person; if tweeted, they're banned, Instantly, before their whole day tweet becomes a log of bathroom breaks and a nose picking e-diary.

Nepali superstition

The Nepali woman at my new job walked up to me all happy to be hiccuping today ... I told her to drink water in straights and she said "no , when I hiccup it mean someone dear is thinking of me, this is Nepal".

I've heard that in some parts of the world, people believe someone thinks of them when they are sneezing out of the blue and such, but to actually endure hiccuping for hours for the warm feeling it brings seems .. *ehem* *ehem* *wink wink*.

'when your mother, father think of you at home what happen here ?" She inquired .. "well duh ! They call"
(And then you hiccup :P )

sukleen - our goal is cleanliness

Although most ads in this country suck, some people still manage to produce a fun/y interesting one... others produce ads you look forward to, Sukleen being one...

I've decided to blog a few ads of interest (some horrible ones as well I suppose.... let's see how it all goes).

First of a bunch .. this one by Sukleen says "our goal is cleanliness" and features a footballer kicking a trash-ball.

note: this blog is also to test a couple of features :
1- a blog through Picasa..
2- this picture was geo-tagged, not sure if it means anything here ..

TOM - smoking 2

I recently lost the digital sources of some files, including smoke .. so i decided to remake and republish this (with a tad more effort than the last one)...

Tom - Shopping for chocolate!!

This was inspired by a shopping trip with gatoloco ..
Drawing and inking on paper..
vectorized , added signature and color in Inkscape...

I'm not very happy with the way it turned out.Perhaps its time for a decent printer scanner? The lines on the non digital version are cleaner. I've recently been several new signatures(without making an effort :P) ...

TOM - smokin

Wanted to save this until it was done ... and it will someday ...

Tim - Cheezy Post

Ate the berry that killed my heart ..
and yet I never stopped loving,
Drank the poison that killed my brain
so why can't I stop thinking?

I am what I do. My soul, not innate but earned, is but a pen inking stains on the paper of time.


Note: often wonder why I did something, while it doesn't seem to be logical nor does it seem to fit my character, but existential questions aside ... I guess I am what I do, regardless of what I feel or think.
