I hate nights like these
I wonder how my life would have turned out if I weren't so "strong" and so "capable". Maybe I wouldn't be tossed aside because "I'll be okay. I'm so strong. I can take care of myself." Maybe the people who I need to take care of me wouldn't have left me. Maybe I wouldn't be such a bitch or escape so much because every night I have to drown out the hurt. Maybe my life would've been so much easier.

Why Do You Do (Do You Do) The Things That You Do?
Well hello. It's been a while. I suppose because I've been so busy doing other things like working on my house, working, being in Syria and not having internet at home. On the bright side, my house is totally on time! Unfortunately it's costing me super a lot more than I thought it would.

How Many Continents Are There?
The whoren and I got uber-intellectual last night over at hapsap's place while she was packing. The question of the night was, "How many continents are there?" because someone asked me once, and I said 7, and then I couldn't name them.
So get this: it doesn't matter if you answer 5, 6 or 7. You're WRONG! (or right...). According to various sources, the answer to the question of the night could be 5, 6 or 7 depending on what you work as and where you are. For serious. From About.com: Seven Continents:
By most standards, there are a seven continents - Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Most students in the United States are taught that there are seven continents.
In Europe and other parts of the world, many students are taught of six continents, where North and South America are combined to form a single continent of America. Thus, these six continents are Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, and Europe.
But that's not the end of the story, oh no. You're probably thinking, "Well, if a continent is a land mass separated from other land masses, then Europe and Asia should also be classified as 1 continent because they are part of the same land mass". You'd be right. Apparently Russia, Eastern Europe and Japan, which are more "geographic-centric" (whatever that means) teach the 6 continent model where Eurasia are 1 continent while North and South America are separate (Source: Wikipedia).
Blows your mind, doesn't it?
Points to ponder:
- If Australia is the world's biggest continent, why isn't Greenland (the world's biggest island) a continent too?
- If Antartica is a continent, then what about the North Pole? We looked this one up but that'll be an update for another time.
- Who the hell came up with this shit?

Once upon a time, I had a blog entry in mind
And then I forgot it. That's what happens when you're internet-less for almost a month. Seriously. My Nokia E71 has been at the shop for 3 weeks, my internet at home has been cancelled to save money, and work has banned almost everything via internet filter. It's crazy. I feel so out of touch. I'm doing this from my client's office.
It's like, the other day everyone was talking about how Kanye sucks and I was like, what? What happened? If I had access to Twitter, I would've been like, "Pfft, that's so 20 minutes ago guys, come on". But no.
Hari Raya is 1.5 days away, today is Friday and the next 4 days are holidays. How super awesome is that? I'm counting down the hours till I get to home. 3.5 hours, FYI.
Oh, also, I will update my prizes won blog entry to include the 1.5 iPod Shuffles that I won in a work contest and the other stuff that I've won lately.
Another blog entry will come up if I can figure out something more meaningful to write about. In the meantime, this is it, so enjoy it, bitchez.
