Catching up after a long time

Two friends, Tom and Mark reunite after a long time. They started chatting and catching up.

Tom: So Mark, what’s up with you after this long time?
Mark: Oh, since then I got married
Tom: So that must be good news
Mark: No, not really. The wife turned out to be very evil and made my life miserable
Tom: Oh, that’s not good
Mark: Well, no worries here. We got divorced and she paid me lots of money during the divorce
Tom: So, that is of most convenience then
Mark: Oh yeah, with all the money, I decided to get into the cattle business, but unfortunately they all died in an accident
Tom: What luck!
Mark: Luckily, I could sell their pelts for good money
Tom: So for selling the pelts, at least you recovered your losses
Mark: Yes indeed and with the money I bought a new house
Tom: What a turn of events. That sucks!
Mark: No not really. The wife was still in the house when it burned.

If you work a lot on the computer and sit in the office most of the day then you are bound to start to develop some neck and shoulder pain. To remedy that, you have to take breaks every hour to stretch. Additionally, regular daily exercise is also important. I also found that looking at stereoscopic pictures can ease the strain on your eyes.

For when back at home and if you want to relax, I can also recommend the following two items.

Neck pillow

I have been using the Real-Ease Neck and Shoulder relaxer.

This pillow is travel friendly and helps release neck, shoulder and jaw tension. It retails for no more than 24$.

Inversion Table

I discovered inversion tables a year ago. I found one for 100$ and figured I can try it out. The inversion table takes a bit of getting used to but at the end, you might end up loving it and using it every day.

The benefits of an inversion table are numerous, let me list a few benefits that I personally experienced:

Refreshing and energizing: if I am sleepy, a few minutes on the inversion table refreshes me and gives me more energy
Relieves neck and lower back pain: by inverting, the pressure is taken off my lower back, hips and shoulders. My joints decompress and relax
Boosts blood flow to the brain: due to the inversion effect and being upside down, the blood will rush towards your head and thus oxygenating more of your brain cells

One theory about why numbers are written the way they are

Many years ago, I was reading in Thiaoouba Prophecy book by Michael Desmarquet. A very nice book.

Anyway, in that book, there was a mention about numbers and why they are written the way they are. The alien in the book explains that the numbers are written like this because of the number of angles each number have:

Online Chatting and The 4 Magic Questions

Back in the days, when I was learning PUA techniques from pickup artists, I ran into “The Magic Questions pattern” by Jack Ellis (the author of “Forbidden Patterns”). The purpose of these questions is to have a nice and fun topic to talk to women whom you just approached in a public setting. Women like it when men talk about them, compliment them or do anything thing that make them feel special.

The Magic Questions

Here are the magic questions, ask them in any order:

Visualize yourself in a white room. You’re in a bed and everything is white. How do you feel?
What is your favorite animal? What qualities do you see it as having?
What is your favorite color? How does it make you feel when you think about it?
Imagine yourself on a beach. Nobody is around and the ocean is right in front of you. What do you do?

Take mental note of the answers because you will have to interpret the answers back to them.

What the answers mean

After you finish asking the questions and taking notes, it is time to interpret the answers back to the interviewee. The meaning of each question is as follows:

This is how they view death and dying
This is how their friends view them
This is how they view themselves
This is how they view sex

Putting it into practice

Let me give you an example. You meet a random girl that you want to approach and talk to. You can use the four magic questions as a nice conversation opener: Continue reading “Online Chatting and The 4 Magic Questions”

3 nights and 1200 miles later – Road trip from Seattle, WA to San Diego, CA

Two weeks ago, I started my road trip from Seattle, WA to San Diego, CA. It was my first very long road trip in the US. At first, I was just going to punch-in my destination into my GPS and drive along whatever route it suggests. However, after talking to friends who already took a similar road trip, they advised me to research taking the scenic route instead of the plain and dull I-5 highway. I became intrigued about the scenic route and my research indicated that it would be a longer but much more enjoyable trip.

What follows is my short story where I share my adventure and some tips I learned along the way. Since this is my first road trip from Seattle to San Diego along the Pacific coast and with little to no experience driving along the coast, I am hoping that this article proves to be useful for others who also are looking to embark on a similar experience.

No Wifi – Talk to each other! Pretend it’s 1993!

Do you remember the days when you used to go to a coffee shop to meet and talk with new people?

Well, it is no longer the case. You go to a coffee shop and you see people with headphones absorbed in their own bubbles or just glued to their smartphone screens!

It takes more efforts these days to strike a conversation with strangers because you have to find the right way not to interrupt or annoy people as you start a conversation.

Often times, I also go to a coffee shop to work and focus and thus I don’t want to talk to new people. But even still, often times I want to take a break and meet/talk to strangers. Continue reading “No Wifi – Talk to each other! Pretend it’s 1993!”
