Ramblings..

Water:

A good estimate is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces of water per day that you need to drink. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day. If you exercise you should drink another eight ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes you are active. If you drink alcohol, you should drink at least an equal amount of water. When you are traveling on an airplane, it is good to drink eight ounces of water for every hour you are on board the plane. If you live in an arid climate, you should add another two servings per day. As you can see, your daily need for water can add up to quite a lot.

*I wonder if it applies to camels (read: me)...*

Messy-ness:

Shashi said he's used to packing up after twin makes a mess. *gosh* i feel bad for him and for twin. twin coz it's in-built in her.. probably hard to change.. tho i guess it takes discipline. it applies to her twin, moi as well. *grinz* but i guess the once-in-a-blue-moon energy to pack & clean does come.. tho i really dunno how to survive when i start full-time work. when i look at the 'new' mess i've just created in the living room (moved downstairs coz cooler), i guess there's really no end to it. well, not at least until we need to move back to boston at the end of the month *shivers at the thought of packing*

Probability

what's the probability that an interviewer forgets to call his interviewee? how about the probability that you'll receive the call one hour after the scheduled time? oh well, i guess it might be God's way of telling me this isn't the job.. wait upon Him.

Diet

should i go on a diet? yah yah, you must be shaking your head. what about the 'small-size-ness' i have, you may ask? but nope, not that kind of diet. i was thinking of going on a detox or vegetarian diet for a week and see if there's any response on my complexion. i don't exactly know how i can survive w/o meat but i think i might go on a white meat/veg diet for a start. fish and chicken (tho lesser of the latter) would prob still sustain me. i know love has been supportive of the idea, but i dunno if we can carry it out tog, considering he's also quite a meat lover. hah! pls pray for me.. hehe.

Books

the ones i borrowed from the library? ok, i'm kidding you guys. of the 4, there's only 2 story books (quite thick tho), 1 crafts book and 1 mag. love borrowed tons of books, of which i thought maybe i'll steal to read a little (yawn.. they aren't exactly my cup of tea). i'm also supposed to jump-start learning japanese but have yet to find the keys (read: excuse) to igniting my urge to pick up the CDs. =p i'm almost done with jodi picoult's my sister's keeper. nice book recommended by mei. eunice, what was the book you asked me to read again?
