Lately, I've been bothered by a lack of purpose in my life. I've officially graduated, having received my final semester results a couple of days ago (they were average -- more or less what I had expected). Up until then, I had told myself I deserved a little break, and that I could do whatever... Continue Reading →
The Eternal Lightness of Being
I recently finished Milan Kundera's book The Eternal Lightness of Being. This has been the first novel I've read in years, and I must say it doesn't disappointment.

But perhaps this is the time where over-inflated prices of life's non-necessities start coming down. According to... Continue Reading →
The Pig
There was once a pig who met a hungry wolf. Though he tried to run away, it was too late for him. The pig was hungrier.
Maslow’s Needs in Politics
I read an article that discussed the reasons for McCain's drop in the polling numbers. It offered me no real new insights, but reiterated the fact that McCain's campaign went downhill with the Dow. While Wallstreet suffered an economic meltdown, McCain suffered its political equivalent. As Dan Schnur (one of the authors of the article... Continue Reading →

The Textboob
This was found in one of my finance tutorials: The best of both worlds: text and boobs. What can I say? Nothing beats UWA.
