Nasal Decongestant Sprays

These are my first line of offense against runny or blocked noses. My only problem with them is its administration. Seriously, if you aim straight into the nasal cavity, you'll spray into the back of your throat and you get a horrible taste. If you aim into the walls of your nose then it just leaks out when you tilt your head down. It's kind of like when you go swimming and water gets in both your ears. You tilt one side to get the water out, but the water in the other ear just goes in deeper.


And yes i'm putting this under my Life and Medicine categories lol :)

Cooking Adventures #1: Sirloin Steak

I love how food can look good even if it tastes absolutely horrible. And that is the basis of my cooking adventures -- a way to share my bad cooking without affecting obliterating my friend's tastebuds.

So today I cooked my first steak for lunch! It's a sirloin cut from safeway with some random seasoning at home and some black pepper. I put wayy too much salt at the start, but it came out medium done which was good.

Here's what it looked like.

Google Analytics

When I first made this blog, I got some recommendation to sign up with Google Analytics to collect statistics about the site. I don't know, its just such a long and complicated name to type into google that I never really bothered to check it until now. Something like GoAnal would be so much more accessible in my opinion.

LOL, no but seriously, I'm on the page now and checking out my stats y'know :) It's really surprising that I have had 52 unique visitors since having started this blog not so long ago. Unfortunately, 11% of visits have been through Internet Explorer, which I am very ashamed of. If you're one of them, you should just stop reading right now, get the hell out and pray to allah I won't match your IPs with my chatterbox, which I did when some of you did that annoying thing where you pretended to be me (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE).

Anyway, apparently on average i get about 9 visits a day, but probably 8 of those are mine because I have time like that. You might not know this, but I am keen about comments and I feel very unloved when I don't get them. But when I do get comments, I can't think of anything witty to say back so I just ignore them LOL bastard.

So awesome, a whole post about blogging stats, while my friends are overseas saving endangered animals or some crap like that.

Who else knows this song?!

Lately I've been writing blog entries and just deleting them before they're published because I read over them and find them insanely dumb. My reading brain has always had higher standards than my writing brain, which is why I cross out sentences/words a lot in essays lol.



So does anyone else know this song? I have no idea how I know this song, but apparently there's something going on with the korean group Big Bang and parts of this song according to youtube comments. Anyway, i kind of like these kind of songs without the massive bass thumping your head in, though I don't mind those types once in a while. Hell yeah, i'm wild =)

One more thing before I go off, who else knows these songs. Just a few I adore, and I just want some ressurance that my music taste is not too far off mainstream lol.

The Cat Empire - Till the Ocean Takes us all
Frou Frou - Must be Dreaming
Death Cab for Cutie - I will follow you into the dark
Owl City - Fireflies
Jason Mraz - Childlike Wildlife, I'm Yours

閃光 (SENKOU)

I loveee the battle tune for the FF13. Its called Senkou (flashing light). Its got a great violin part, so a few minutes ago i went to get my violin to try play it. As expected, the strings were all out of tune. I started tuning all my strings until I got up to the E string and broke it. It sprang at my arm and now I have a long cut on my wrist lol ><

Knowing I will never get my hands on a ps3, ive been watching about 600mins of Final Fantasy 13 gameplay footage through to about 3/4 of the storyline. So far my impression is:

Bad Points
(1) Most maps are just one long path towards the event point or boss or whatever, not much exploring to do. Only exception is one ridiculously huge map but fortunately you can ride a chocobo there :)
(2) Guy characters are kind of lame, protagonist is a girl called Lightning. Afro guy is stereotypically comical. His kid has the worst voice actor possible lolll
(3) What's with magic?!
(4) Summons can take a normal form, or you can ride it. That is, shiva can become a motorcycle that you can ride and crash into monsters to deal damage to it lol

Good Points
(1) MUSIC!!!
(2) Battle system is actually quite interesting. You do pretty crap damage to monsters until a critical point where they start receiving more and more damage, which is more realistic in my opinion.
(3) Graphics are just simply amazing. Monster battle graphics are like almost as good as cinematics of event scenes.
