Song - Metz and Trix - Dil Moulia

Okay well what to say, it's going to be a bank holiday weekend and it's gonna rain (no idea whether I did the whole blog about how great the rain is or not, so I'll just pretend I did). I've been told it's good I'm chatty and a geek/nerd, I felt kinda cool with that, although I'm well aware I'm leagues aware from even being a basic nerd.

ALthough I did go ooh and aah over a small plug (my fasination with electronics) should I not marvel at the tiny transformers nowadays which are just so small and efficient, just makes me ponder, we cannot even see nanotechnology, well me with my human sight, so technology is amazing and we're moving so fast, fair play slower then before, but we are still moving forward into a time where even though the machine that can rival the human brain hasn't been made, we are having to make huge strides to keep up with it.

But in the meantime I'll go back to question and listen to some legal specialist talking about some legal jargon.

Toodles folks and enjoy the rain!

Song - Fearless ft Sonna Rele - Everywhere and Nowhere

Okay what to talk about today, I was reading the news, as you do, and in the education section I saw a part that said a study was done saying that lost cost ways to improve childrens' learning was by giving them constructive praise and having the kids teach one another, I'm a fan of both of them, but I just pondered, what in the world has happened to society today that people don't even think about these things, and it went on to suggest stuff like smaller class sizes are more expensive ... I was thinking duh ...

I just ponder at the common sense, or lack therof, that people appear to have. Seeing as we only apparently recall 20% of the information we read about and a bit more if we write/copy information as our brain is having to process a bit more with the whole exercise of copying. However this is significantly improved by teaching another and this having kids mentor one another, seeing that the class is all working together to get to the same goal, helps the kids with their own interpersonal skills as well as helping the teacher. I remember I used to help a friend with maths, whilst she attempted to help me with English (attempt being the key word) however i have no doubt that by me teaching her what the class was doing helped me enormously, especially nowadays where people have forgotten stuff like timetables and other basic stuff. I feel blessed but sad that as a society we don't keep these things in our minds they don't just help us with our everyday lives with stuff like shopping, they help shape the way our minds work and recalling the basics is what allows us to hone our skills in whatever path you wish to take, but that's just my stubborn opinion on the matter.

And the fact it takes a study to tell folk this is even more depressing ...

And now I depart wondering what I'm going to eat for my dinner ...

Toodles fair folk and be merry :D

Song - Metz & Trix - Kerre Velle

Okay well what to say, not really in a talking mood today, my sister ponders why I have such a monotone voice, and I'm not sure how it came about. I recall a point in time when I came back for my first year at uni and my manager told me that I had become harder and so my voice was more assertive or something. Maybe that'd be why. WHereas much of the time I'm a pretty fast speaker to some and have a voice that may appear to be of a higher tone then others when I'm being serious it's back to the whole monotone.

And now I'm not even watching the apprentice, it has become that drab that it's just a matter of watching supposed intelligent people become whackoes and selfish pigs. Hmm okay well now I'm going weird, is it too late to go eat some chocolate, I have a boost bar I really wanted to eat ...

Why do we watch people when we see them at their worst do we watch it in order to feel better about ourselves, or in order to learn so that we do not make the same mistakes, not just to better ourselves but to help humanity as well ...

Take care for the moment! (I still ponder at who would even read this blog)

Song – Billu Barber – Love Mera

Well I didn’t write any blog on the weekend, I’m not sorry my wrists were hurting like nobody’s business so I needed to rest them. I spent the whole weekend painting so I think I might have got RSI or something, so I had to keep shifting my grip on the brush to try and ease this. Mornings were okay as I tended to zone out whilst listening to random music (felt a tad sorry for the neighbours having to listen to me attempting to sing) and then in the afternoon had my brother working alongside me (he has a social life – but he needs it seeing as he is the only guy, else he might become too feminine I’m sure).

And so the time was spent talking about random stuff to the wonderful world of modern day politics to old school day memories, I found out my brother used to go to school with a boy who thought he was a vampire, which would have been all good if it wasn’t for the fact that my brother then proceeded to make a joke about it as the guy still ate normal food and all that, so the boy retaliated by proceeding to bite my brother with his normal human teeth.

But anyhow a boring weekend with intervals of fun in the evening, got myself the Zumba game, so proceeded to whack every table in the vicinity of the kitchen/dining room, so both my arms and legs hurt, fun, fun, fun!

And my mum went made and thought she’d buy a 10l tub of chocolate icecream, I was like O_O, but you have to wait ages for it to soften up in order to scoop it, else it’s like rock solid, so really putting me off eating the stuff.

Trying to think off something philosophical but all I can think about at present is chocolate and how I could eat my Double Decker! So toodles folks I’m off to do work :D
