I came across this article (pictured below, with text typed out for your convenience) while browsing through the magazine Psychology Today while at the library this afternoon, regarding why one may feel not truly listened to when the person whom you're talking to seems to be doing something else, even if that person were to...

The future missus said she was proud of me, and you know what? I'm plenty proud myself. So here's the IPPT result slip that I still keep in my wallet to remind me that I've still got what it takes 🙂 I had made it a point to try to keep a diary or record... Continue Reading →
Well guys, I'm back from ICT, and I've got the IPPT Gold to boot! 🙂 Training's paid off handsomely, worthy of a little celebration. Now on to the AHM (Army Half Marathon) in September. Hope that'd go just as well.
Today, I was going through Facebook and looking at the profiles of friends and friends-of-friends. Looking through some of the most bad boy/bad girl profiles, I couldn't help but think what if?

I was with Lix that day, and we had just finished our business with our bridal photography studio, picking out the photos that were to go into... Continue Reading →
After a tremendous lot of running for the past 90 days (I've been surprisingly focused in my training this time round), I've been forced to take a break due to an illness. Feels like flu, probably is. Maybe it's my body telling me that I'd been running too much too soon. It hurts quite a... Continue Reading →
I just read about Zeno's paradox of the arrow about how if an the flight of an arrow is made up of many distinct points at which the arrow is at rest. Imagine if you could freeze time when the arrow was moving, then restart time and freeze it again a split second later. The... Continue Reading →
Much like an echoey scream in its third or fourth reverb, you couldn't tell where the thought came from: I'm going to run a marathon this year in my best time yet (not too hard, considering my previous best was over five hours) and I'm going to get my IPPT gold this July (a little...
