These are the things that make me scream

Browsing through today's rss feeds, I stumbled upon a site that piqued my interest.

A photographer, Joshua Hoffine, has managed to capture some of the things that only appear in my nightmares. Scary, yes, but I find them artistic.

Here are some of the photos that he took:

"Basement"

"Robot"

"Lady Bathory"

Check out the rest of his portfolio on his website while I cower in fear for seeing these pictures while I'm wide awake.

Feels like insomnia~ oohhh~

It's almost 2am and yet i can still feel the gears inside my head going at full speed as if someone just spilled the greasiest grease in there and lubricated everything.

And it sucks. Especially when I've had a bad day and I just want to sleep it all off.

One of my main problems is that there's been an annualization of income tax at work and when they gave me my pay slip, I saw that my withholding tax (additional tax included) amounted to more than 70% of my pay this month. Adding the other deductibles, I'm pretty much left with just 20% of my salary until the next month. (We get paid once a month.)

And so I am broke. With more than one thing to pay for. Sigh. If only I've been born under a lucky star, I might win the lotto and live happily ever after.

Speaking of happy, I've read one too many times that one of man's ultimate (if not the ultimate) goal is to find happiness.

A fine goal indeed.

But what if man was never intended to be happy?

And with that thought, I shall resume to forcing myself to go back to sleep.

Wow it's November!

And just a couple of weeks ago, scientists have discovered Tatooine!

'Star Wars' Planet with 2 Suns Challenges Theories

I'm waiting for them to discover Dagobah. I want to go take a hike there.

Why Cachlots are afraid

Fridays can be a pain

I really don't know why traffic jams have to happen on Fridays.

We left for home at around 4 in the afternoon. What time did we arrive? 5:40 PM. That's more than one hour's worth of travel, quite long considering that we left that early. I didn't really "feel" the traffic since I fell asleep in the car. When I woke up, we were on a different route (kinda like the backdoor route) because our usual one was jammed.

And now they're even planning on increasing the toll fees? They should at the very least fix the traffic problems first! The planned increase is quite big, and it will definitely produce a domino effect in terms of commodity prices. The only compensation are jam-free traffic but they (those people in charge of our roads) are not capable of giving us that.

I dream of a time when roads are not packed and going home from work would only take 10-15 minutes...which is only possible from 10 PM to 6 AM, and on holidays when majority of the people are on vacation.

Something heartwarming is always welcome

Helping Tigers

From the WWF website:

There are as few as 3,200 tigers surviving in the world's forests in this, the Chinese Year of the Tiger.

The scientists say the situation is so bad, that the tiger faces extinction in the wild by the time of the next Year of the Tiger in 2022.

WWF will not let this happen. Instead, we want to double the number of tigers by 2022...

How you can help save the tigers.
