I love Paramore

So its been a long time since I last did my last post. Now I'm back again, but hmm... seems like this blog is getting boring (total opposite from the blog title). Anyway, have not been posting lately as I have loads of assignment. I did not even have much time to sleep and have a nice meal. However, I did manage to finish it so I'm pretty relax now.

Here is the latest picture of me. My hair is getting longer now, been wondering if I should shave it off or not. Cuz you know, long hair is really troublesome to manage: you need time to let it dry, time to style it, and I often get a bad hair day cuz I can't seem to set my curly hair right. My plan is to get a perm which would make me hair look like, maybe an afro during the new year when my hair will be VERY long. The thing is, am patient enough with my hair to let it grow for another few months and to perm it I it will cost me at least a hundred bucks (short of cash, lots of things I wanna buy like a new Altec Lansing, Chelsea jersey, basketball shoe, clothes etc.).

Now here is some videos of Paramore I found on YouTube. (Huge fan of Paramore)

Paramore - Misery Business (Acoustic)


The first single from Paramore and now in acoustic version. Me <3 Hayley


Paramore - That's What You Get (Acoustic)


This is one of my favourite songs from Paramore and I got to admit that acoustic version is even greater. The singing along of the audience made it that much nicer and finally again <3 Hayley and her voice.

Paramore - My Heart


Another nice song from Paramore. You guys are amazing!!!


Paramore - Brightest


Totally love this video!!!

Besides this there are many nice songs from them as well. If any of you liked what you heard or want more, just ask it from me. That's all for now... enjoy!!!

5 Minutes Management Course

Lesson 1:

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her
shower, when the doorbell
rings.

The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.

When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour.

Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that
towel.'

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands
naked in front of Bob, after a
few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.

The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.

When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'

'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies.

'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes
me?'


Moral of the story:

If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with
your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent
avoidable exposure.


Lesson 2:

A priest offered a Nun a lift.

She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.

The priest nearly had an accident.

After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.

The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand
slide up her leg again.



The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.'

Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.

On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129.
It said, 'Go forth and
seek, further up, you will find glory.'


Moral of the story:

If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great
opportunity.


Lesson 3:

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to
lunch when they find an
antique oil lamp.


They rub it and a Genie comes out.

The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'

'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the

Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'

Puff! She's gone.



'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii ,

relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of
Pina Coladas and the love
of my life.'

Puff! He's gone.



'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.

The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'


Moral of the story:

Always let your boss have the first say.


Lesson 4

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.

A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you
and do nothing?' The eagle
answered: 'Sure, why not.'

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a
sudden, a fox appeared,
jumped on the rabbit and ate it.


Moral of the story:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high
up.


Lesson 5

A turkey was chatting with a bull.

'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the
turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'

'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the
bull.They're packed with
nutrients.'

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him
enough strength to reach the
lowest branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second
branch. Finally after a fourth
night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.


Moral of the story:

Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..


Lesson 6

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird
froze and fell to the
ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to
realize how warm he was.

The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow
dung, and promptly dug him
out and ate him.


Morals of the story:

(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.

(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!
