I don’t eat pork because I choose not to. It’s that simple. I’m not Islam nor do I have health restrictions and it’s not because of compassion for one of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom. I’ve been eating pork ever since, but one day I decided to stop and that was it.

I was making progress in sensitizing my hands when Mon told me that he read somewhere that eating pork releases enzymes into the body that inhibits a person’s ability to concentrate.

I have so many things and ideas to blog about but can’t seem to find the time. Maybe I should have bought that MSI Wind after all. Or perhaps the Asus EEE PC 1000? No. Maybe the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 instead.

Since last night, I’ve been desperately trying to fix some issues with the layout of this blog without any success. Now I realize the problem is with my internet service provider.

I’ve been trying to fix the wrongly-displaying captions of the MistyLook theme by implementing corrections provided in the support forum. When I update the CSS code in the Wordpress Theme Editor, it show that it has been modified, but when I view the blog itself, nothing seems to change! Read the rest of this entry »

In blogging terms, an aside is some sort of mini-post. This post is an aside. It’s not worthy of the same large titles as the other longer posts, but it still deserves to appear on my blog homepage.  Writing a full post is time consuming sometimes we end up not writing it at all. An aside is the answer!
