I came across this in one of my Social Psych readings, pretty interesting...

Truth or Poppycock

-- "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" and "out of sight, out of mind" are examples of folk wisdom. All cultures pass along wisdom of this sort, [in the form of proverbs or some way or rather.]

But folk wisdom is an unreliable, inconsistent kind of wisdom. For one thing, most proverbs coexist with their exact opposites, or at least with proverbs that give somewhat different advice. Does absence truly make the heart grow fonder, or are loved ones out of mind when they are out of sight? And isn't variety the spice of life? (Many men might say.)

Do opposites attract, or do birds of a feather flock together? Should you love the one you're with, or would that be like changing horses in midstream? We all know that he who hesitates is lost, but doesn't haste make waste, and isn't patience a virtue, and don't fools rush in, and aren't you supposed to look before you leap?

And, sure, money is power, but aren't the best things in life supposed to be free? And since time is money, and money is power, and power corrupts, does that mean time also corrupts? Well, maybe so. After all, the Devil finds work for idle hands.

You get the idea. Proverbs that relay wisdom about how we're supposed to live do not necessarily supply useful or reliable advice. In fact, proverbs are sometimes used merely to justify what we already do or believe, rather than as guidelines for action. --

That's a mouthful. Nevertheless, it's thought provoking.

I like this bag. I really like it. I really really like it. It's the new Puma Spirit Mini Grip.

*hint to hunny buns* I know... the nerve...! haha

it's coffee btw,

Friday was a pleasant day. Archanaa, Pria and I went for a picnic in West Coast park. After a long time, I got a chance to meet Arch and we talked about every other thing that we could
think of. It felt very housewifey but It was really fun.
Let me put up some pics, some candid and some poser shots!



Yet again, I managed to discipline myself to exercise. Exercising feels so good. I feel light, feels as if my hips are smaller already. Way to go! haha.
