But then again, I spent the whole of today out shopping for xmas presents for my cousins. ---- Although it was unbelievably refreshing and fun to be let out loose to shop entirely for the good of others, it was so tiring! And more so because being one of the oldest, I have to allow all requests, and living in a foreign land to the rest of my cousins ("Ooooh, HK so exotic! Shopping paradise, isn't it?? Can you get me....") Yeah, you get the idea.

I hate it when people text me “K” I am rarely in the mood to talk about Potassium
Just had a very interesting text conversation with a guy friend who's totally into shoes.. so much that it shames me to admit that I know less than him. It was also one of the more interesting convos I had had on a boring bus trip home because not once was there a redundant reply of "K".
Don't you hate it when that happens? Isn't it human common sense that this kind of reply is completely uncalled for and perhaps might be more forgiving if there was no reply at all. Okay, lets see how this can go:
A: Hey I'm gna sleep now, cya tomorrow!
~~~~
20 minutes later ~bleeeepbleeeep~zzzzzzzzzzzz~bleeeepbleeeep~
B: k.
How annoying is that??!
And also with all those facebook groups of "I like texting "k" to people because I know it pisses them off" "I'm only texting "k" cuz i don't wanna talk to you", don't you find yourself slightly annoying?? There are tonnes more groups with tonnes more members pleading for this habit to be obliterated especially when you've poured in time and effort writing a mini essay only to have "K" thrown back at you: "I HATE it when I text somemone, and the he/she replies "K" !!" "I hate it when you send a really sweet text to a guy and all they say is K." "I HATE IT WHEN I WAIT 30 MINUTES FOR A TEXT THATS "K" !!!" ANDDD the list goes on...
Okay, end of rant. Just really glad that none of these petty frustrations popped up today :)
Ahhh. How little things make me happy!

On another note.. my older cousin is contemplating getting a tattoo! And as she's into old meaningful Latin quotes, I started researching some myself & found that many contain snap, bang! bits of wisdom about life. Sooo.. I've compile my favourite 11 that I've came across (and just as a reference in case I ever feel like getting one :P):
non ducor duco - I am not led; I lead
vive ut vivas - live so that you may live
esse quam videri - to be, rather than to seem
alis volat propis - she flies with her own wings
temet nosce - know thyself
audax at fidelis - bold but faithful
amor est vitae essentia - love is the essence of life
amor et melle et felle est fecundissmismus - love is rich with both honey and venom
audere est facere - to dare is to do
non sum qualis eram - i am not who i was
and an old favourite: memento mori - remember you must die
Although the English equivalent of each is still very meaningful & act as reminders (mostly) to make the most of what we have now and be comfortable in our own skins, I think my cousin's going after something that seems exotic and cultured as fewer people would understand tattoos in Latin at their first glance unless they knew the phrase really well. All the better for avoiding judging remarks from people she doesn't give a damn about.
Any recommendations will be very welcomed :).
