The Dog Crossing the Street

I was driving yesterday in the morning and I saw a scruffy dog crossing the street, stop at that section of the road where people can wait, and continue to cross after the cars died down. It was funny because I thought to myself that the dog looked like it knew what it was doing, walking so nonchalently on the road, stopping, waiting, as though it was so used to crossing that road. Then I thought to myself, it would suck if the dog got scared halfway and remained in the middle of the road. Not being able to turn back, or go forward because the dog's scared of being hit by a car. So I thought to myself, once you commit yourself to something, just finish it and never do it halfway. Or don't bother crossing the street at all.

Exchange Rates

I always get confused at which column to look at when I want to exchange foreign currency.

I want to change Thai Baht into Euros. Do I look at the Buy or Sell column?

Serendipity

"I'm the man Eve. Staring into the sky, thinking. Not about my fiance, but about some mystery guy I met a million and a half hours ago. It was only a moment, a fragment really. But it was like, in that moment, we were supposed to be together. That's why I'm here Eve, that's why I'm going to let destiny take me where it wants to. Because when all of this is over, at least I'll never have to think about him again. Let's just hope he's some bald fascist who picks his nose and wipes it under the car seat."

Something I watched last night. I remember in New York we went to the Serendipity restaurant because of the movie. Just us girls. It was winter and snowing just like in the movie.

But yeah, that's my favorite quote from the movie.

This Holiday

Woke up at 6.30 AM again.

The road's been really empty this weekend. I really like it.

I want to go see the sunflower fields in Saraburi but not really sure how to get there.

I have Monday off too (for Eid).

Two more weeks till France.

Time flies.

I still need my visa!

Writing in Lists

I didn't realize how difficult it was to write in lists your thoughts for 5 pages...

Contempt

The number 1 reason why couples don't last.

Noise Pollution

There's a jackhammer drilling right below my feet.

Two Seconds

That's how much it takes to really make a decision.. Let alone judge a person.

I've been reading this book call Blink and it's really interesting. It's basically saying that the amount of planning, time, research, analysis, etc you put into making a decision will be just as good as making a decision based on your gut feeling, instinct, intuition, etc.

It talks about thin-slicing, or the ability to process all information in a few seconds and to determine what is important.

I think it's pretty true. I don't think you need an eternity, or maybe even all the right information, to know whether something is real or fake or a person is kind or bitchy, generous or annoying, etc.

This is how I work with love. You call it a gut feeling, intuition. I think you'll just know it, whether it will work or not.
