Top Ten List - Baskin Robbins 31

Call me an idiot, but I never knew that Baskin Robbins 31 gave 31% discounts on every 31st of the year. Bloody geniuses, they only give discounts 6 times in a year!! I only found out a month ago, and I was eager to get hold of my first Baskin Robbins ever since then.

 

I told Cely about it, and she seemed all set to go as well. But she was having doubts about the 31% discount thingie and she smsed me to confirm. I replied, saying that I was pretty sure (as if I tried before), unless Baskin Robbins 31 suddenly decided to change their name to Baskin Robbins 346 or something. I don't know if she laughed. She didn't reply with a "LOL" sms.

 

ANYWAY, I want to do a video blog post about it. I have my footages from last night. All I need now is a top 10 list - Top Ten Fun Things To Do While Having Baskin Robbins Ice Cream. Fellow bloggers, can you help me out here? If you have a suggestion for a better top ten list, don't hesitate to tell me. Hopefully I have all the feedback and inspiration I need by this week so I can complete the video by next week.

Cross yourself?

I was going my morning routine, reading yahoo.com sports news where I stumble across this article, where Fabio Cannavaro, the Real Madrid was speaking to the press ahead of their clash with Barcelona this weekend. Now I don't know if he speaks English, or if he used a different language while addressing the press... But I saw something funny... Check out what Fabio Cannavaro said, or presumably said, about Ronaldinho...

 

"We know all about Ronaldinho, he is a phenomenal player. I don't know how you stop him. When your rival has a forward like that you simply have to cross yourself and hope for the best."

 

Did you see that? No? Read it again.

 

"you simply have to CROSS YOURSELF and hope for the best."

 

Wow. Listen to the World Cup winning captain of 2006 Italian team giving advice on how to defend against one of the world's most feared strikers...

 

"You'll first notice him being beamed down from his space ship... "

 

"You do know he's an alien from Planet Brazil, don't you? That's where he got those funny teeth..."

 

"No, stupid!! Funny teeth doesn't give them greater skill or speed. It's just the way they distract you. They sometimes show up with funny hairdo too. You remember Ronaldo in 2002?" 

 

"That's how he scored 2 goals lah... They want you to think that they're stupid. Don't fall for that... Anyway, listen to me. When he comes charging forward..."

 

 

"CROSS YOURSELF!! Like this..."

 

"or like this..."

Gosh, I hope that I'll be able to blog more, so that this post won't be on the front page. But will my site now have much more traffic? I wonder...

Catch Phrase (1) - In My Heart

So this is the beginning of a new category called Catch Phrases. Throughout recent years I have had the ability to cause an epidemic, where people around me begin to use a particular phrase frequently. Some phrases were self-created, others were inspired or directly copied from sitcoms & movies. Friends have caught the bug & we have shared many laughters with all these catch phrases. They have brought colour to our lives (seriously), and I want to share them with you, in hope that you and your circle of friends could enjoy them.

 

So today, I would like to introduce to you the catch phrase of the moment - IN MY HEART.

 

Have you heard of people giving an excuse for not doing something, citing innocence as they have done it in their heart? The times where you needed something practical, some obvious action, some initiative, but all you got was moral support & empty words? Let me refresh your memory.

 

"Yes, son. I have always loved you. In my heart, I love you."

 

"I may have acted cold. But in my heart, I really pity that poor kid."

 

"Believe me. From my heart of hearts I wanted to, but I just couldn't..."

 

"Sorry I don't spend as much time with you now. But believe me, in my heart, you're number one"

 

The truth is, that we all desire words in action. We can't say that we love a person if we don't give, we don't spend time with that person... You can't tell your teacher that you've done your homework without showing the work you've done. You can't say that you have a compassionate heart if you don't give to or help the poor & needy. You can't shit in your heart, you can't sleep in your heart, you can't eat in your heart. Gosh, you certainly can't blog in your heart.

 

So in essence, the catch phrase "IN MY HEART" means "NO". All you need to do is insert "IN MY HEART" at the back of your sentence. The following are examples to help you put this catch phrase in to good use:

 

1. When your boss asks if you're coming to work over the weekend, you answer "Yes I am coming. IN MY HEART"

 

2. When your mom asks you to throw out the garage, you answer "It's already done. IN MY HEART"

 

3. When the mamak shouts at you & demands that you pay for your meal, you answer " SUDAH BAYAR LAH. IN MY HEART"

 

4. When the police interrogate you as a suspect, you boldly answer "yes I killed him. IN MY HEART"

 

5. When the charges against you were read, you peacefully answer "I plead guilty. IN MY HEART"

 

Disclaimer: you'll need the other party to understand the idea as well to cause clear communication.

 

So now that you know how to use "IN MY HEART", go knock yourself out in your heart.
