From factory to world of fantasy.
Yup! That's my description of Goggleworks Center for the Arts.
It's a former goggles factory...hence, Goggleworks.
Now, it's an art exhibit/kids' leisure center/senior's hang out/cafe/relaxation spot...
et cetera.
So, yeah... If you guys have time to drop by or happen to be just around the corner of 400 Washington St. Reading, PA 19607--please do.
I promise you, it's fun! Especially on 2nd Sundays when I read to the kids. I could read for you too. Oh yeah, yeah! Well, you won't know how fun that is unless you get to see it for yourself!
*wink wink*

Fun - Skiing, anyone?
Skiing!
My family and I went to Bear Mountain Creek here in Pennsylvania. We went snow tubing mostly. I wasn't really on top of my game. I didn't have the right clothes or anything. I advise you to BE PREPARED--`cause it would be twice as fun if you were.
I wasn't able to ski because first, we went there after lunch--we didn't plan an overnight stay; second, we needed lessons first before we could rent. Lessons take up sooo much time. But, if ever I were to do it again. I guess skiing wouldn't be that bad--I have a fear of heights, though, but most of the time, I pull through with it. It's about facing your fears at this age anyway, right? (I'm 18.)
That's my share for the moment.

A Question
My question: Why is it that textbooks are hard to read?!
Seriously. It just wouldn't stick!

Job Search Attempt
As I have mentioned, I want to look for another job. A job of convenience because:
1. I am a full-time college student (with major I am yet to disclose).
2. I already have a part-time job.
3. I am also a regular volunteer for two non-profit organisations.
4. I need sleep.
So, I've been trying to look for online jobs. Apparently, because of its supposed convenience, there are a lot of scams out there that one should be aware of!
My advice to all who are reading this... (Like there are any!?) is that DO NOT IMMEDIATELY FALL FOR ANY SCAMS. It isn't worth the risk. Be cautious. Do the following:
1. If search is from a search engine, try to pick sites from the top of the list.
2. Assess the site. Is it a well-arranged site? Are there any grammar errors? Does it look professional? Do you feel that it is legit?
3. Search for reviews about a certain job. Some reviews you can find helpful. Some reviews, however, you might notice, are made by the scammers themselves--endorsing the product/said job, using fake names, et cetera.
4. If the site and/or job is heard from the radio or legitimate TV show/commercial, then the site/job is legit.
5. Ask someone you know if he or she has heard about this certain site/job.
6. TRY TO DO THE ABOVEMENTIONED LIST OF THINGS if the site/said job is asking for money. Identity theft is on the rise.
So, I hope you'll find this list helpful. Being cautious and skeptic is being rational.
For additional news: Unemployment rate rises to 8.1% in the U.S. (source: Twitter: nytimes and CNN). This really doesn't sound good.
I guess a temporary solution is to--save money a bit even though the supposed solution to stimulate the economy is consumer spending, I doubt that anyone would want to spend right now... Thoughts?
That's all for now, I guess.

Attempt to Search for a Job
Job-searching or job-hunting is a must? For me, yes.
I mean, not that I don't have a job right now. I do. I have a job. A minimum-wage-paying kind of job. A job inside the university I'm going to. Yeah, university... It's been... more or less 6 months since it's been officially called a university, so, cut me the slack--even for just a little bit (I just badly wanted to emphasize it).
Anyway, back to what I was saying. I need a job. An extra job. A not-minimum-wage-paying job. Why? Well, because I need the money. I need just a little bit of other people's time for just a bit of paper--and probably some coins with it... I just need to have a little something. I need to buy one thing. I just need a [insert very material, unimportant, not-to-be-prioritized object here] so badly that I might even sell my car. That's how badly I want this [thing].
Phew!
Okay, got that out of my system. What next? Well, stay tuned to all my adventures of frantically fishing out some fun and frustrations around some corner-- `Cause it's all about the F's in life. Gotta sleep! Ciao!

My Frantic Search for a Cure for Reality
Reality is one heck of a pain on the butt.
It's like one day you're all--"YEY! Spring break (or sem break) at last! I can rest! Rest! Rest! Rest... rest...", and then days pass by like minutes, and before you know it it's--ALMOST MONDAY and you have to get up from bed early in the morning, and push yourself (almost literally) to take a bath and eat breakfast (at least in my case)-- and, of course, to go to work or to school~ SCHOOL~ Not that I despise the... place. I actually love the... place. It's like my Libis or my... Mall of Asia. I love school. But, I may just be in a phase where all I want is to stay at home and do, literally, NOTHING.
Anyway, if only Einstein were here and still proving that time travel is no doubt possible then he might've been my all-time hero. But, like I said, reality IS one heck of a pain on the butt.

Juggling Between Blogs...
I do have a lot of blogs--and I mean BLOGS... not just entries...
Spring Break is passing by fast... I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
Though, it seems that I don't have any choice left, but to face my fears.
LOL.
Anyway, I'm going back to my blogging... with other blogs... ?!

Good Idea!
I just randomly thought of something genius! -- Well, it's just a minute proposal, and actually not that genius...
But, here goes...
I THOUGHT OF POSTING SOME PICTURES ALONG WITH MY BLOGS! YEY!
I just wanted to let you know. Seeing that I have a full LIST of followers...
[Right there...]
*crickets chirping*
(just hidden... LOL.)
(chirp, chirp)

(apparently, it's just me and myself... talking to... m-y-s-e-l-f...)
anyhoot... that's my BIG news.
Time Flies By Fast... it's not even funny
Okay, so Spring Break is almost over, and I still feel that I haven't done any productive work--at all.
I ceased all productivity, found a rock and hid under it, and waited for my intellect to come back from its apparent AWOL-ity.
My brain is kind of back now, but still hung over from all the... "stuff." I am, therefore, currently on the edge of giving up--but, HEY! I fear even the thought of actually giving up...
It's the time. If only I had all the time in the world to do everything I want when I want... I'd probably be the luckiest person in the world. But, sadly, aside from its being unrealistic and uber ridiculous. I say that it is also increasingly unfair. I have things in life that most people don't--and probably would love to have, and here I am--complaining of petty issues of mine. So, I guess, I just have to suck it all up and continue living it...
Besides, TIME FLIES BY FAST anyway. Before you know it, there's nothing to complain about but gray hair.

Accounting. Yes? No? Account me not.
The title doesn't make sense, I know. Well, Accounting itself doesn't make sense--at all.
Well, yeah-- I am vying to be an accountant-- that is my major after all. But recently, I have not been on top of my game, especially in Accounting (and Music Theory).
Hey, I don't care about bonds payables or notes payables or stocks.
Give me a bonds certificate and I'll give you a smirk back-- or if I'm true to myself-- I'll give you a blank stare or a confused look. Whatever my mood is--I'll give you that, but you won't expect me to say-- "Hey! So what interest rate is this on?" Or, "When's the maturity date of this one?" I don't give a heck of these issues. Maybe I'm just that ignorant about financial jargons or whachamacallits, but like what the seamen say! NO PAIN NO GAIN (or was that the Army...??) Hmn... gotta think, gotta think.
Anyway, I'm off to twittering! Follow me @ www.twitter.com/mhaby27 , and I'm all YOURS. Ciao!
