-Guide On HoW tO maKe A self help book-
Here's something funny that i found and i thought i'd like to type it out. Drum roll...brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... HOW TO MAKE A SELF HELP BOOK !
So, to start your book, you must convince people that there is something wrong with them. This is easy because advertising has already conditioned people to feel insecure about their weight, skills and what nots
Next, you have to convince them that the problem is not their fault and they're victims of larger forces. This is also easy because its what people want to believe anyway. Nobody wants to be responsible for his or her own situation.
Finally, convince them with your expert, in other words crappy and useless advice,so that they can conquer their problem and be happy :)
The only problem with this method though is that you probably cant write a sequel lol.

Power ToOlz
Today has been immensely satisfying I must say. Why? I got to use power tools! There's just something very satisfying about drilling and the noise it makes makes it much more of a spectacle. So anyways i've been meaning to put a mirror in my room because lets face it, bilik apa yang takde cermin ?? And it was lot more trouble than it was worth... I thought a simple hammer and nail would be enough and i'd just hang the mirror, but that wasn't what my dad had in mind! The ingredients that i needed was 1. a 'leveller' 2.a drill 3. a pencil and 4. one long string.So first of all i had to put the mirror on the wall, make sure its placed at 0 degrees with the leveller, mark it with the 'carpenters pencil' (which looked like any other pencil), and take the string, mark another X with teh carpenters pencil, and then tadadadaaaa drill! drill! drill! until the drilling machine makes a funny noise, which goes something like "gdrogdrot fiuu fiuu fiuuuuu fssssss gdrogdrot"
Long story short i now have a mirror in my room. Its a much more convenient way to look at myself than having to get out of my room, cross the hallway and into the toilet just to look into the mirror.
I'd take a picture of the said mirror but i cant do so without showing the outside world what my room looks like.
. First PoSt .
Behold ! The momentous moment of this blog's history, the first post !
Finally, i've a blog. I've been meaning to do this for quite a while now, ever since a few of my friends started blogging. I always thought blogging was rather pointless, but after giving it some thought it seems that a 'blog' is like an online diary which anyone can just pop open and read, and reading diaries are fun. So anyways, yeah, I just thought "Yeah, why not? What the hecking heck, by george, dear God oh me my goodness gracious lets start a blog!!".
Of course, that all that enthusiasm happened about two months BEFORE i actually started this...but its not as if I've not been doing anything. I have made a list, yes! a list of the pros of blogging and here it goes
The Pros of blOgging. by me :)
1. It makes me look busy
2. I like the sound of keys being pressed
..ermm, thats basically it..but its good enough for meee !
And so there i was, traversing into the unknown realm of blogging, thickets of guesswork, caverns of trial and error, an adventure I say! Of course, this all came to a screeching halt when i met my first obstacle, and its called "How in the name of God on earth and in heaven at the exact same time do I change my font colours?!!?!!11!11one". I was like 'do i have to put a code in or something....' and i actually googled on how to font colour code on blogspot and the reults were of course the immensely complex and complicated-looking html codes. My very first reaction was What the effing eff?? Do i need to learn coding as a prerequisite to blogging?? Not wanting to give up, I asked my friend, at 4 am in the morning, how do i change the font colour...and then right there! At that very moment, as if to mock me, there it was! the button "fonts and colours" was right in front of me. I had wasted 3o minutes of my life looking for something that had been in front of my freaking eyeballs...though i replied with a cool and casual 'oh' to my friend who evetually told me where it is. Thanks Friend.
Then there was the chatbox issue. Knowing full well that no one would probably say anything there, I decided to have one anyways simply because i think it makes the blog look much more professional. I did everything it said, sign up check, username check, password that i wont probably remember check, I have read the rules and agree to follow it with it being the rules checkbox check, and after that I was half expecting it appear automatically on my blogspace/blogarea/whatever its called, which of course it didnt. I was about to ask my friend again when i accidentally clicked a small popup window stating that i received a new email. Hah, from then on, it was a BrEeZe ! So technically, the moral of the story here is, to accomplish something you need to do something and screw it up.
