Recently I have been noticing a change of trend, maybe I was not paying enough attention before, but it certainly has gone impossible to not notice. In Taiwan, I often encounter baby-strollers which isn't carrying a baby, but a dog! Apparently, dogs (or pets, in general) has a higher status than human nowadays. It is not up to me to say its a good thing or bad thing, but it certainly is worth a mention.

In How I Met Your Mother Season 8, episode 14, there is a short tune of a song, and although the song was like less than 10 seconds, I got caught instantly.

Sometimes I wake up with a sadness
Other days, it feels like madness
So, what would I do without you

When colors turn to shades of gray
With the weight of the world at the end of the day
Oh, what would I do without you

A decade goes by without a warning
And there's still a kindness in your eyes
Amidst the questions and the worry

One of the really cool stuff in Taiwan is that there are plenty of promotions everywhere, and I am guessing it is because of the heavy competition in every field, including 24-hours convenience store such as 7-Eleven (vs FamilyMart, Hi-Mart, and so on). Almost (if not all) every town there will be at least one convenience store, depending on whether is is 7-Eleven or not.

Saw this somewhere, and I am sharing it here, possibly to always remind me about life:

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles roll

Not that I am a believer of the end-of-the-world myth, but heck, with all the rumors going on for so long and it turns out to be utter bollocks? No, I am not fond of that. Not gonna give any speech on 'thank god I am alive'. I know I am alive and I am living my life in every possibly good way.

So recently, my mood is kind of on the down side. No, I am not saying that I am all blue or anything, it's just that I am feeling guilty for spending a lot of my times watching series and not doing real studies.

For the non-working category, yeah, you may skip ahead as this probably don't relate to you, yet. Though, you could read through since its gonna help you in the upcoming.

For other peeps, 2013 is coming, and sooner or later you gotta compile your incomes and whatnot and submit  your tax bracket. For the uninitiated, filing for tax is a pain in the backside. Often, you'll be thinking, have I done this right? Anything I left out? That's where TurboTax comes in.

Noticed her strong vocal from her other covers, "Just A Dream" by Nelly.

I am officially addicted to her voice!

Jay Chou's new song.

I haven't been really updating myself with music lately, and thanks to YouTube's advertisement, I noticed that Jay's new MV is out. Unbelievably, I am instantly hooked to it for 2 days now, and at least a few days more.
