Send me a shapeshifter

Saturday 9: Half the man I used to be
Please scroll down for Weekend Funnies

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

1. Do you feel that you are essentially the same person that your were ten years ago? psychologically, yes. dermatologically, no

2. Is there something that you have to give all or nothing to? all to life

3. Have you ever gambled? What have you bet on and for how much? postgrad stuff - I get it done, party on my bucket list. I don't and party on the bucket list gets more intense

4. Can you sleep anywhere or does it have to be in a bed? in a tent during a snowstorm is fine. send me a shapeshifter

5. Tell us about the most disastrous or embarrassing first impression you've ever made on someone. nah..wala...none

6. Do you have a memorable "ripped clothing" moment in your life? No? How about in someone else's? not memorable enough for me to remember who but it must have been on a movie

7. What's changed on your blog since its inception? ...a redo? ...a change of pace? ...or is it about the same? frequency of posting and tweakings, the memes I try, drop or continue doing; mostly I'm exploring

8. If you could travel back in time and whisper something to yourself ten years ago, what would it be? snap out of it!

9. Okay, let's have it! What's the craziest, most impulsive thing you've ever done? that weekend in Kuala Lumpur; tried to forget it but the passport stamp screams I did it

Weekend Funnies: Arab student's email to his Dad
Please scroll up for Saturday 9


Another hilarious email: I thought of that wide grin on the Funnies badge and loled at the similarity with an image at the end of this post.


Dear Dad,
Berlin is wonderful, people are nice and I really like it here, but Dad, I am a bit ashamed to arrive at my college with my pure-gold Ferrari 599GTB when all my teachers and many fellow students travel by train.

Your son,
Nasser

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The next day, Nasser gets a reply from his dad:

My dear loving son,
Twenty million US Dollar has just been transferred to your account. Please stop embarrassing us.

Go and get yourself a train too.

Love,
Dad

Tarunita, thanks for dropping by

Thom, KL has no evidence, except the stamp lol! Try a bucket list, I'm keeping mine as inconspicous as possible. Dad probably has more Ferraris than sons :D

Genebei invited me to do this picture tag. I must admit I had a lot of fun doing this. It took me a long time though to find Google images that are royalty free or NOT subject to copyright. I don't mean to be boring but I have to be wary of this thing. When I searched for photos I did type copyright free photos of .... (I claim no ownership of these images. I am not in any way selling or earning from these photos). Now for the instructions: "Use Google image to search the answers to the questions below. You must choose a picture from the first page of the results, and post it as your answer." 1. The age of my next birthday 2. Place I'd like to travel to 3. Favorite food 4. Favorite place 5. One of my nicknames 6. Favorite color 7. College major 8. Name of my love 9. Hobby 10. Bad habit 11. My wish list Have fun everyone! --------- I mean innocent fun :)

Whisper your wishes

Cross-cultural misunderstandings are rife among gestures of beckonings and farewells in different parts of our planet. For example, the American gesture for "come here" could mean "good-bye" to Italians. Axtell (1998) observes, "the way people beckon one another around the world can be almost as diverse as the way we greet and bid farewell to one another." Today we look into popular hand gestures to signal farewells and to beckon. 1. In the United States , common gesture for getting someone's attention, as when calling a waiter is to raise a hand about head high with the index finger raised (exactly the girl's hand gesture on Samulli's header ) If an American used that gesture to a waiter in Germany , saying "Water please," the German waiter would bring two glasses of water In Japan it is rude; pointing a finger at anyone is considered impolite 2. Italians and Greeks will often wave goodbye with the arm extended, palm up,...

Main course

Write From Karen For starters, I'd like some milk and whiskey.... A muscle towed my brow upward. "We are talking fine dining, people, and I want you all to go international," I announced to a group of Marketing majors last Sunday. These are what I fancied from their presentation: 1. Red mullet and skordalia (Greek) 2. Salmon sashimi with avocado (Japanese) 3. Braised halibut provencal (French) 4. Chargrilled prawns with lemongrass, tomatoes and coconut (Malaysian) 5. Lamb Steak with tequila and chilli (Mexican) 6. Veal roast with aromatic herbs and potatoes (Italian) 7. Roast mutton with red currant jelly (English) 8. Vermicilli with oyster mushrooms and king prawns (Vietnamese) 9. Somboon crab curry (Thai) 10. Chicken chow mien (Chinese American) 11. Barbecued lamb cutlets with mango and coriander salsa (African) 12. Bulalo (Filipino) 13. Paella vegetarian (Spanish) Never again will I go to work with an empty stomach .
