Still Burning

"A certain recluse, I know not who, once said that no bonds attached him to this life, and the only thing he would regret leaving was the sky. "

Kenko Yoshida 

(Context: Feels like more than a headache when your work done wasn't saved at all, take note this happened back in 2010... when the live blogger app was in its early stages of auto-save feature)

I was fuming out last night because it took me almost an hour to finalize my blog about the bed intruder song. Everything was set, the you tube videos have been embedded and my quote heading has been placed but in an instant, all the words i typed and htmls I've edited suddenly vanished. I just don't know why. And the bad thing about it was, blogger app got frozen..., worse? The autosave feature did not take effect when i checked on edit posts.

I could be blamed but i still can't get at peace to it with the lost work gone. (scratching my head again lolz).  I lost momentum now in re writing the bed intruder song blog. I wish i used my OneNote in composing my entry but ugh!!! I really wanted this blogger's WYSIWYG feature that's why whenever i'm making a post, I always use this live blog editor of blogger. Just like right now, im doing it again, while my eyes is darting once in a while to the save now button if it's really auto saving once in a every few sec.

By the way Prinsesa, if you're reading this, i've added an additional one or two white fish on the side gadget as you've requested lately. I reckon u love white, lest your favorite color huh! Mine is yellow.

Wrapping things up, my mind is somewhat eased now by the regret I felt last night about my lost post.  It's basically true, once and for all, that letting out what burdens you somehow alleviates the feeling in a lighter shade. Melting it down to pure solitary sobriety.

Bread Ties (What Does Its Color Coding Mean?)

"The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. "

Teresa 

Did you know that you could actually tell which bread is the freshest when you're buying in the grocery store?

Bread is delivered fresh to the store 5 times a week and each day has its corresponding code via it's twist tie or the plastic tab.

What do the bread twist tie colors mean?

Monday    -    Blue

Tuesday   -    Green

Thursday -    Red

Friday       -    White

Saturday  -    Yellow

Most bread makers color-code their twist ties to indicate what day of the week the bread was baked. This is useful for a couple of reasons: 1) It lets consumers know how fresh the bread loaf is, and 2) It signals to employees when to remove the bread from the shelves. Usually, there are five different colors, indicating the five-day delivery schedule (which skips Wednesdays and Sundays, supposedly because bread is not baked on those days).

CAVEAT: This is not always the case of all bakeshops but most of 'em follow this rule when delivering fresh bread to the store.

So the next time you buy bread to the grocery story, mind those twist ties or plastic tabs so you can benefit for the freshness of the dough.

Or better yet, check the date - when it's best before to consume... this is now the normal FYI in the PH grocery stores.

sleepless

"Slumber not in the tents of your fathers. The world is advancing. "

-Giuseppe Mazzini 

the footprints blown by the gust of winds
retentions in the past forgotten and buried deep
only to get resurrected like soul from a crypt

to yearn companionship lest solitude embrace
fear not, to endless imagination of unhearken cries
trust not, to seamless and genuine lies

restlessness in bed till dawn
to win the ending repose of a lonely tone
and miss the pain to which it brings alone

'tis so hard to make at peace
and now the puzzle's left undone
now close thy eyes to see you gone

so lost in mem'ry that now is time to heal
but how? when everything is so unreal

sleepless.

Top 2 Free iPhone app of the week

(app images courtesy of Apple's appStore)

My top 2 picks for this week's free iphone app themed about survival and practical applications. Emergency cases like how to clot a gashed wound is indispensable, i had an open cut on both of my hands sometime last week. The china bowl inside the kitchen cabinet suddenly slipped as i opened the locker, causing the bowl to shatter into pieces as it landed on the tiled dashboard, in my attempt to catch by saving the bowl out of my surprise, i felt a sudden pang of pain on my right hand as blood squirted on my middle finger. I looked at my left hand as well, only to get taken aback that it was gashed also. I washed my cuts on a running water but the bleeding just won't stop. 5 minutes, 6, minutes, 7 minutes, and blood is still coming out.

In pain, i managed to navigate through my iPhone's wikiHow survival kit. All the rest are explained there how i managed to clot the blood from my fingers.

On the plus side, this WikiHow app is so convenient that you don't need a wifi or data plan on your phone to view the helpful articles.

WIKIHOW

And the 2nd app i'd like you to DL is the free HowCast application. This is an accidental win actually, i happen to cook most of the time these days, without hesitating to check some how-to's in making things easier in the kitchen, it dawned on me this wonderful tip on how to perfectly unclad the eggshell of a hardboiled egg. Hahaha! So that was how i discovered this Howcast app.

HowCast

Sit back, the topics here are not only for kitchen how-to's; it gives a plethora of subjects. Even a how to deal with a Flasher is in it. (i was laughing out loud literally while watching that howcast video about a flasher). I thought this app is just so visual and brief. The briefness is curt but it wont leave you unsatiated with what it has to offer.




I'll post some juicy apps that i know you'll love, t'will make your testosterone and estrogen levels humming. See you next week for the two apps i'm talking. :)
