The Derivatives are Coming!
A few days back, I was in a MORE-GEEKY-THAN-USUAL dinner with friends. It felt like I was in a Big Bang Episode. Only that I wasn't Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, nor Raj.... I was Penny!
Here's one of the jokes that I find hilarious at this point because of a number of things.
[Joke published with permission from "Author/Sharer"]
There was a party where all the math functions are present.
There's f(x) = x, f(x) = x^2, f(x) = cos(x), and a lot others.
Suddenly f(x) = sqrt(x) shouted in panic: THE DERIVATIVES ARE COMING! THE DERIVATIVES ARE COMING!
Pandemonium reigned. Everyone in the party ran for their lives, ALL EXCEPT f(x) = e^x.
A fellow function asked him: aren't you going to run and hide?
e^x replied "I AM e^x, d/dx WILL NEVER CHANGE ME."
And so e^x was left in the middle of the hall, undeterred, minding his own thing.
THEN THE DERIVATIVES CAME.
d/dy was among them.
e^x said, "OH CRAP"
Okay, now is the time to laugh. -(",)-*wink*

Kirin makes Teas, too
I love doing my grocery shopping. I love it so much that I do it inefficiently, I do it weekly.
What gets me more excited is doing my grocery shopping in a foreign grocery store, maybe it be out of the country or here. It's the "I really don't know what I am getting with this purchase" feeling gets me all giddy. And yes, I am compelled to pick an item or two, just for the heck of trying any product. More often than not, I don't understand its label.
A couple of weeks back, I dropped by a Korean grocery store in Baguio and got some instant noodles. The one Nestee and I had is good, doesn't taste "instant" at all. The premium ice cream that we tried has an excellent texture.
Early this evening, I dropped by the local Japanese grocery store. I thought about buying ingredients and cook something Japanese but that's just too complicated for my meager cooking skills. I just decided to get some tea and coffee. I am a self-confessed tea addict. I now like it with my fried chicken.
All the while, I thought Kirin just makes beer. It makes good tea, too.
And yes, by doing my foreign grocery thing, I also learn a thing or two.

Quarter Life and Loving It
I am embracing my 25th year by migrating to this new blog! I've chronicled my life in this site but Multiply is so 2008, hence I need a sustainable platform where I can share my so called "Colored Dreams.
Life's been very kind to me.
Still a wanderlust
Still very much in love.
Life's been very kind to me.
Still a wanderlust
Still very much in love.
Still willing to learn a lot of things.
Again, welcome to my "Colored Dreams".
