Photographs
As I posted before, I am interested in photography and I'm saving up for a camera (couch potato gets a job! soon. I hope). Anyway, I saw this photography contest online and just decided to try my luck. Don't think I'll win though but here are some pictures I took to enter in the contest.
This is the inside of a computer I cannabalized
My pride and joy (Wow, corny)
Hehe my new Facebook profile pic
These were taken with my mother's Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX7

BMI - Nobody is happy
A couple of nights ago, I just randomly calculated my BMI or Body Mass Index or rather, get the computer o do it for me. This came out of the blue since I never measure my height and I stopped bothering with the weighing scale (It never changes!!).
The BMI scale goes like this
Underweight = under 18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obese = 30 or greater
After calculating mine, I ran downstairs to compare with the others in my family. First I asked my sister (known as Beans) for her height and weight. We use the metric system but the web page I loaded for the calculations used American Standard units so we took forever to figure out her weight in pounds. While she was calculating, I asked my mother for her height and weight. After calculating her BMI, we saw she fell in the Normal Weight class. "That means I'm actually fat" she says.
So then I say "So since I am underweight, it actually means I'm normal"
"No, you're still skinny" is the reply :(
So according to her logic, nobody is normal, but by that time, we figured out my sister's weight and computed her BMI. Normal, just like my mother. "Ah, she's normal," says my mother. I couldn't think of a reply. I just think that all women above the age of forty think they're fat - except the fat ones. No offence.
We then all turned to my father, who is comfortably round. He isn't as tall as he thinks he is but is heavier than he thinks he is. We got a more accurate reading of his height and weight and keyed it in. His BMI is 26 point something. "But I used to weigh normal in college. Calculate my BMI then." We keyed in his weight minus 10kg. Normal. "There, see? I'm normal."
"No, that was twenty years ago."
"Well in my mind I'm still that weight."
lol
So really, calculating your BMI makes nobody happy so my advice is: don't bother. Just use the mirror to tell you if you're fat or thin or normal. Or rather, get someone else to tell you. It's better to trust others when it comes to your weight. Unless they get jealous and lie - but that's only fat people. No offence.
Oh yeah, my BMI is 17.5

Consumer Feedback
When you see long blog posts, do you not feel like reading it? I'm asking because I don't feel like reading long posts when I see them and I realized my posts are all pretty long looking. Feedback is welcome and will be appreciated (if there is anyone out there)
....
Um yeah I'm not even going to check the date on my last post though it probably doesn't matter as nobody is really following my blog. I realize I haven't revealed much about myself or the things I do so here's some random stuff about me.
- There's a roll of gum that's been sitting in my room since Christmas
- I want to make movies that fellow couch potatoes can watch and enjoy
- I've taken a sudden interest in photography (will post a couple of my first pictures)
- I just killed a mosquito (revenge does taste good)
- I actually watch romantic movies (but NOT romantic comedies; Always so cliched)
- The best thing to ever happen on YouTube is Charlie The Unicorn
- I'm a Gleek! _l :)
- I own a Fender Stratocaster and it is my baby :)
- This is the ninth random fact about me
- I like the colour pink and it takes a real man to wear pink and like it (some guys just wear it to pretend they have a soft side but really, they hate it)
Okay that's all I can think of for now. It may paint a picture of the person behind this blog which you are following. If you really don't care, let me know and I'll post other stuff which you won't care about.
