THE BIRTH PF THE HIGLY INTELLIGENTLY-TRAINED NINJA MONKEYJETS

I can't believe it! I found the email that was the birth of the Highly Intelligently-Trained Ninja Monkeyjets complete with emoticons! First of all allow me to explain what this is. One day, my sister forgot to log out of her email. Needless to say, my little brother and I decided to have some fun. We sent this email to everybody in her address book. Note that this was YEARS ago and it was only sent to friends and not awkward people like relatives. (And yes I did spell receiving wrong in the original email). Note: I omitted her name in this blog post.

DAY 3

NOTE: Read post on Nov 12 first, then work your way up.

This is the third insert of my serial.

The owl, having feasted all night, takes off into the dawn skies, satisfied. It is then taken down by a hawk and crushed beneath its talons.

Stick around for the next insert (if you can still bear with the story).

DAY 2

NOTE: Read post on Nov 12 first

This is the second insert of my serial.

The snake flicks its tongue at the owl. The owl, unamused, skins the snake and devours it.

Ok so the plan was to do this everyday but I missed it by 45 minutes.
Day 3 will be posted in a few minutes.

A NEW POST IN CASE ANYONE SEES

I've decided to write a serial. Everyday, starting today, I will post a new part of a story, bit by bit. Here's the beginning.

The snake sees the mouse. The mouse sees the snake. Or rather, the mouse sees the inside of the snake as it is swallowed whole.

That's the first part. I won't bother asking you to stick around for the next part because I seriously doubt anyone is still following. I just hope someone stumbles acroos it.

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.

My pride and joy (Wow, corny)

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
