What’s Up?

Stuff I’ve been doing lately:

Eating expired noodles.
Mama bought this bunch of Chinese instant noodles at the Marketplace in Mandaluyong. It’s stamped “EXPIRY: APRIL 2007″ or something like that. But if you look at the Chinese scribblings, or if you know how to read Chinese, you’ll find out that it expired December of last year.

It tastes heavenly. I love it. Expired my behind. Instant noodles can last until a year later, as long as its ingredients are well-preserved. As for that, I still don’t care. I’m currently eating this pack of Lucky Me Chicken Sotanghon from months ago. I just realized that they changed the chicken bits from chunks to tiny slivers which is almost pointless. The carrots are tinier in the old one, but the noodles are better. I can boil it for ten minutes and it just swells nicely. It’s chewy and tastes really good. The new one, if I boil too long, it gets …. overcooked. >_> sloppy. I love the old one. >_<

Messing with my webbie
I’ve done some additions here and there but I haven’t really made a really major change. I’m still too lazy for that. I added a chat applet. Added a radio… I should update that though. I made an LQ version available but haven’t properly fixed it.

Organizing my Music
I’m a self-confessed music download whore. Yep, you heard me right. I keep downloading music and stuff even if I’m not sure I’ll ever have the chance to listen to them. I don’t like deleting them either. What do I do with them?

What I do is load them all into my music player (FOOBAR!!!) all 25000+ of them and randomize them. I eventually get to listen to something new.

Currently, I’m not listening to them because it takes a while to update the music libraries. So, I listen to those that are not being touched like my own recordings. >_>

What I like about foobar is it plays almost anything. If it doesn’t play something, you can usually find a plugin to be able to play it. If that still doesn’t work, it’s probably just really in a totally odd audio format. The biggest plus with foobar for me is its lightness. It doesn’t use a ton of memory like WinAmp. It’s not bloated with a million features you’re not really interested in. Granted, the “skin” is not as easy to customize in Foobar, but if you search for skins, you’ll see that you can actually customize your foobar to make it really pretty–without all the extra memory usage. And then it allows you to load archived music into the player, which is another plus for me, since I download most of my music in RARs. Oh oh, aside from being able to easily drag a music file from foobar to send to IM windows or IRC, you can have your playlists all loaded and easy to switch back and forth to, and move music files to and fro.

DIETING!
Well… trying again. >_> I need to slim down a bit. It’s my practicum in 2 months, and I really need to buy new clothes for that. For the past three days, I’ve only eaten rice once, and only half a cup of it. I’ve been eating fruits and vegetables. The only noodles I’ve been eating is sotanghon which is a little healthier.

I’m also doing the Eat More Eat Less thing. Eat more times in a day, while eating less food each time.

In regard to vegetables, I’ve discovered that the Patola or the Loofah/luffa is better if after peeling and slicing it, you store it in the freezer. The shape stays round, and the center part which usually kind of like dissolves when cooked, stays there. I really love Patola. It’s one of my favorite vegetables (which is actually a fruit).

Music
Karaoke, Playing the Guitar, playing around with the keyboard to produce beats.

Router
I’ve been hating on the router constantly. I wish I could stab it to death.

Backing up Data
I can’t get on FantasticSuperSeeders anymore, so I can’t seed the movies I have. So I’m deleting them one by one. I don’t have much really. I started out with a little over 50Gb of Asian movies and I’m now down to 23Gb. If anyone wants my account for a ton of Asian movies and stuff, just tell me. D=

Voice Chat
Not just with the BF, although 99% of the time it’s with him. I talk with other people too, like Mimi and Steven and Rippa and Hiros and Johnny and even Satou.

What else…..

Oh. Yeah. Summer classes. ~_~ Nat Sci 2. The teacher looks fun. For the Geology part anyway. I’ll try to make it a point to recite everyday! D= XD I need a high grade.

That’s it for now. Time to try Google Reader which Sarah is strongly advocating.

Advocating, eh? Hehe. Yeah, I guess that’s the right word for it. Messing with your webbie? Err… I’d say tweaking, since you say you haven’t added a lot. XD
