I got this from the profile of braygirl (a fanfiction author on Fanfiction.net) while I was browsing through Hey Arnold! fanfics. I found it really amusing and even though the riddles seem simple, they definitely leave us with lessons to live by. :) ~ ♥ ~ Are you as smart as you think you are? Test yourself and find out! How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?  The correct answer: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator? Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator? Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant, and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend...except one. Which animal does not attend? Correct Answer

It's been some time since I last made a Fanfiction quote entry don't you think? Well, I've started reading fanfiction again (all thanks to Hart of Dixie) and I came across another fanfiction which is worthy of being quoted. There's actually going to be three separate quotes because the fanfic I read was composed of different drabbles. Anyway, here they are! ---0---0---0---0---0---0--- He found himself thinking of her constantly, any discovery made him turn absently to share it with her. Random sights, funny happening, damn, just breathing made him want to talk to her. ~ "Her," His quiet statement cause a giant gasp from Jenny's clique, which had congregated around their table. The next thing he said was so quiet Helga almost missed it, but it caused her smile to widen, and her heart to soar. "It'll always be her." ~ The beast inside was only beginning to stretch when he looked at her, her blue eyes were wide with surprise. But t

One of the things I've noticed are how prevalent online giveaways are starting to be. Most blogs on the internet, whether hosted on Blogger, Wordpress, Tumblr, and even on Facebook (which doesn't really qualify a a blog host) hold giveaway for their readers. I think it's wonderful and shows how generous people are. :) Anyway, one of the things I dislike is the tediousness of having to click links and buttons (like following someone on Twitter or liking a page on Facebook) and copying and pasting things (such as a tweet). You also can't see how your entries are counted since the bloggers are the ones who compiles the list of entries. These haven't deterred me from entering giveaways though. As I entered giveaway after giveaway, I ended up on one blog which used Rafflecopter for their giveaway. I simply fell in love with Rafflecopter and I think it's a great idea for people to use it for their giveaways. Rafflecopter helps you make a giveaway and makes it eas

Here’s a post-Valentine’s joke I got from our parish priest last Sunday.  —- . — . — . — . — . — . — Two men, a doctor and a lawyer, were both courting the same girl. Everyday the doctor would bring the girl flowers and a box of chocolates while the lawyer would bring the girl a single red apple. One day, the girl confronted the lawyer and asked why he gave only gives her apples. The lawyer wrote a note and handed it to her. The girl opened the note and smiled. Written on the note was:  an apple a day keeps the doctor away. —- . — . — . — . — . — . — Haha. I thought that was funny. Very clever lawyer. Touché.  ♥ Daal

Tomorrow, January 2, 2011, is the Feast of the Epiphany in the Catholic Liturgical calendar . It is during this Sunday that the story of the wise men or the magi is recounted for the assembly. The priest presider for the anticipated mass we attended tonight, Father Japs, gave a wonderful homily about the wise men. The story of the wise men have three lessons which can be used for the New Year. The wise men lost track of the star and instead of going to Bethlehem, where the baby Jesus was, they ended up in Jerusalem. Despite this, they did not give up or lose hope . Although they are known as wise men, they were humble enough to ask for help or assistance from King Herod when they required assistance in locating the star. After meeting the baby Jesus, they went back home through a different way . The qualities of the wise men are qualities that we should take into the New Year. Despite problems and trials, we should learn to  never give up or lose hope . Giving up does not a
