Going and Happenings – Part 2

A shout out to my dear friend and blogger, tarboos! Its graduation time yeaaaaaah!

A shout out to another dear friend Mr Z. He keeps finding reasons and ways to stay in DC, away from people who want to hang out with him in the Baltimore area. May this S/O bring you back to us.

On a random note, people watching has resumed at my Starbucks location. Now accepting applications =D

Do you know how many people come here (i.e. Starbucks) for lunch breaks, interviews, meetings and money-making opportunities? Its crazy.

As the semester winds down, I find myself reflecting on my present, my family, my friends and my surroundings. My present because it is influenced by my past and defines my future. My family because they have defined my past and influence my present. My friends because they help me bring out the various sides of me, strengthen my weaknesses, empower my strengths and help mold the perspectives/views I hold. My surroundings, because they control the scenarios I face in my life.

There is an amazing reflection to be made about food. To understand the evolution we have made in food, put enough cash in your pocket to buy a tasty meal from your favourite local restaurant or fast food place. Then place before yourself a simple almost bland meal. Your choices are to heat up this simple thrown-together almost-bland meal and eat it, saving time and money. Or to go out, spend your money, lose some more time (travel + waiting) but get a tastier meal. Which would you choose and which *should* you choose. This was a thought I had recently and it astounded me to see how willing I was to spend my time and money for the sake of getting better taste, regardless of how healthiness of either food choice.

PS – I’m posting this three days after my originally intended posting date ‘cuz Blogger was down.
