We were on the subject of heart disease. My professor posed the question:

"why is there much more focus on breast cancer than heart disease than women even though heart disease is so much more common in women?" (this is especially true in the older generation when most physicians were male)

No one was able to answer the question. Finally he told us simply:

"Men are more concerned with the women's breasts than they are with their heart"

Very well said Prof. O'Connor

Aisan girls + insecurity = clinginess, neediness

Asian guys + insecurity = excessive cockiness

Why Asians? is it cultural? biological (we are smaller than others...)? or historical?

*Disclaimer: No offense intended. This observation is just a general trend out there, and I'm not saying that others do not have insecurity issues. We are all human, and we are all self critical to some extent.

Dear Facebook,

I will have to shut you out of my life indefinitely. You have wasted me too much time. My carelessness in monitoring scandalous photos, info, etc on my page has gotten me into me into too much trouble. My superiors have approached me about material regarding my facebook page more than once (one even went to the extent of checking out my blog pages!). That's when I started cracking down and double checking on my privacy settings, which I was stubid enough not to have done already. However, now you have became much too complicated and there are too many crevices in which internet prowlers can come through. 
 
So, in 24 hours, Sharon's Fb will be gone. Of course, pragmatically, this cannot last forever, but I just want to see how long I can survive without you. 
 
Any Guesses?

Yours Truely,
 -Sharon 

 

Never Miss a Beat by Kaiser Chiefs

What did you learn today?
I learned nothing
What did you do today?
I did nothing
What did you learn at school?
I didn't go-o
Why didn't you go to school?
I don't know

It's cool, to know nothing
It's cool, to know nothing

Television's on the blink,
There's nothing on it
I really wanna really big coat,
With words on it
What do you want for tea,
I want crisps
Why don't you join the team,
I just didn't

It's cool, to know nothing
It's cool, to know nothing

I really have not been taking care of myself at all this semester - physically, emotionally, or psychologically.

It's mostly because I've been so busy. Maybe I should shut myself in my room for a day like Ying and have a lot of self-reflective thinking.

I wish I could just through school and work out the window and go to Europe alone by myself, where I don't know anyone, and just let myself go. Let go of all self-inhibitions, and enjoy life like there is no tomorrow. I would go anywhere I like, and meet new friends that I'll never see again, and try crazy things with them that I would never do (skinny-dipping anyone?)...oh of course there's the nude beach as well. I could be Lucia in that spanish movie. I would not care if I become broke. I would packpack anywhere.

It is a place where time has no meaning, where I can relax bathing in the remaining rays of the sun at dust with the tide nipping at my naked toes, savoring the passage of time rather than dreading it.

The next day would find me wearing a white eyelet day dress with a sunhat and matching sandals, sitting at a quaint cafe being mesmerized by the crisp serenade of a solo Spanish guitarist, and dipping my vanilla hazelnut biscotti into a steamy cup of dark roast coffee. I would browse local bookstores and find vintage little treasures, talk and laugh aloud with the locals, and be subject to their generous hospitality. I would not know where tomorrow brings, nor would I worry or even think about it. Tomorrow would only be tomorrow.

1st day of Organic Chem lab today. It wasn't too bad. I hate how its all basically busy work though. Luckily i managed to get out 1hr early. I was THE 1st person out of the door I think lol. That goes to explain how much I hate labs

My pimples seem to be subsiding at last...about time! It must be because I run regularly now (for the last 2 days at least), or less stress/anxiety, or maybe I'm eating more healthy?

A friend recently asked me why I'm always so happy and smiling all the time, I must be high or something. lol I don't know...maybe I'm high on life? Funny how much I've changed since high school. I hated life back then and was dark and brooding. Now I'm happy  ...all without antidepressants! I think it's because I appreciate all my wonderful friends and family a lot more.

Like what the old people say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade (except that I would suggest enjoying the lemons au natural [no sugar added please], or be creative and make lemon chiffon cake )

Yum!

I was looking at backstage photos of NY fashion week, and I literally winced when I saw these

Anyways, models aside....I LOVE this boot! It's Marc by Marc Jacobs, so I might just be able to afford it if i save up! 

FIRE RABBIT Horoscope
Feb 2, 1927 to Jan 22, 1928
Jan 29, 1987 to Feb 16, 1988

general Rabbits people love to play under the moonlight. Quite fanciful, they respond to the power and beauty of nature and are always being pulled one way and the other to examine what they find. They are the luckiest of all twelve signs! But, it's more a result of "the harder I work, the luckier I get" than taking crazy chances. They are cautious, conservative, bright, and have a good head for business. Supremely pleasant to have around, these affectionate, naturally shy peacemakers seldom ever lose their temper. They sometimes appear to be singing the blues because of a natural but short-lived tendency towards despondency. Rabbits always inspire deep admiration and trust.

The Fire Rabbits stand out from the crowd of other Rabbits. You might expect Rabbits to be passive, quiet, and loners. Not so, the Fire Rabbits (). These extroverts are leaders of the pack! Fire Rabbits intuitively sense the right way to bring out the best in themselves and other people. They are brave creatures, thirsty for life. Others eagerly follow them because of the promise of adventure and great fun, and they are never disappointed. Visionary explorers, Fire Rabbits inspire others to see beyond the surface. Unlike other Rabbits, Fire Rabbits have the potential to be truly rich (). Enormously capable and hardworking, Fire Rabbits can achieve great things others cannot match. Captains in charge of their lives, they experience smooth sailing in their careers. The multifaceted Fire Rabbits experience great versatility in their lives. Their interests can range from Agatha Christie to bungee jumping, from caviar to enchiladas, from snowskiing to Scrabble. Speaking of Scrabble, spell Love: L-O-V-E is very kind to Fire Rabbits. Excellent lovers, they rapturously charm their partners with cozy fireplaces, affectionate hugs, and, most of all, undying support and loyalty.
