No Reservations.

The lead character Kate, a master chef who works at upscale 22 Bleecker Restaurant in Manhattan, has her heart set out on only focusing her attention and time on her culinary concoctions. She focuses too much on her profession and her kitchen that she becomes so uptight and intimidates everyone around her. She's so much of a perfectionist that she focuses so much on the little details on her platting and is easily offended by side comments on her food.

Her perfectionist ways are tested with the arrival of two new occurrences. First, she was left to be the guardian of her sister's daughter, Zoe. Her sister and nine-year-old niece were in an accident in which her sister didn't survive. Zoe was left speechless and Kate found it hard to get through to her. Second was the appearance of her brand new sous-chef Nick. He also very talented and high-spirited by nature. Kate felt threatened by him and feared that he was going to take her kitchen, her life away from her.

As weeks progressed, she discovered that the high-spirited Nick could be the bridge she needed to reach out to Zoe. She also realized she might be trying things that she normally doesn't do and that includes opening up to other people; allowing them to get close to her, including Nick. She also found out that she's been focused so much on the little details that she locks people out. She was about to loose Nick. With help of her niece, She decided to make a choice. She quit her job and stopped Nick from going to San Francisco. They opened a new restaurant of their own, Hers, Nick's and of coarse Zoe's.^^

Don't limit your life to what you already have, there are other things that are more important. Learn to be open and express your self freely in front of other people.

Tech Trend.

This might be a long entry so

maybe only a view would have the patience to actually read it to the end.^^

These days almost everyone has either their own laptop or a personal computer, and some even both. But for those who haven't been up to date yet with the world's self proclaimed new best friend and are currently thinking of getting one, here are some of the pros and cons of each type of computer. In terms of portability, you can take a laptop almost anywhere as long as you have the proper gear to carry it around with you. On the other hand, a personal computer [PC] is quite the opposite; it can only stay in one place and more or less you would have difficulty in moving it from place to place. From what I've seen, laptops cost more than a personal computer. They are sold at around P50,000 and above while a PC set can go for around P40,000-50,000 or less depending on the brand of its hardware. Their difference in cost is due to the number hardware or parts in a set. Laptops can be bought as a whole while PCs are bought by parts.

When talking about durability, it pretty much depends on the user. A laptop can last a long time if the user is careful enough and the same goes for your PC. However, they differ when it comes to repair. Laptops take longer to be restored. This is due to the difficulty in acquiring parts; parts are considered made to order. Parts for PCs on the other hand are available anytime and in almost all computer stores. Laptops are easily phased out because of all the new models that comes out. For PCs, mostly only their operating systems[OS] are being phased out. Since we're on the topic of OS, most software are compatible with both computers. But for laptops, its memory is only limited unlike that of PCs which can be upgraded.

They differ so much in terms of design. Laptops again change their design as a whole. There's a change in their exterior design in terms of its shape and color. The newest design for a laptop is that its monitor can be twisted and turned into a tablet with touch screen capabilities. PCs change by part or hardware; monitors bocome thiner, keyboards become smaller, and some CPUs become see through.

I have both but personally I prefer using my laptop. I use my PC and laptop for personal reasons. However, I can easily bring my laptop to school and it sure does come in handy sometimes.^^

Confused.

A girl quietly wasting time away within the four corners of her hollow room. Taking all the silence surround her. Echoes of other beings seem so far away. She's in a different world. She only hears a conversation between her subconscious companions, her heart and her mind. Talking about the world that she's presently in, that of Confusion.

"What's wrong with her? She doesn't care about me. [Heart] I'm slowly being broken up into tiny bits and pieces. Doesn't she care what happens to me, her heart?"

"You know she doesn't. She doesn't care if she gets hurt. She doesn't want other people to suffer on her account"

"I feel sorry for her. She isn't sure about things especially now."

"Confusion is engulfing her soul."

She continues to stare into space. Now, talking to herself about a person of her tormented past and of someone new, a person currently making her smile.

"What is this that I'm feeling?"

"Should I hold on to him? or should I stop?"

"I don't want him to get hurt...I really don't. But somehow I like being with someone else."

"He makes me happy."

"Do I really like him or is it just because of something else?"

"What should I do?"

"I still love him...but I feel something different."

"What is she to do? Give up her lover for another? Hold on to him even if she knows its forbidden? Help her. Please. We beg of you. We don't know how much more she can take. We try to help her with all our might but we're just not enough. She needs someone else to lift her from her sadness."

- Her Heart and Mind

*I'm being sentimental again. Oh well.^^ Thanks for reading this 'sad' entry. I just thought of it this week while talking to someone. To that person, thank you.^^ [you know who you are]*

Teach Me.

I've been going to school for the past 14 to 13 years now so I pretty much have an idea on how I could or can classify the teachers that I had and those that I have now. Normally students would classify their teachers depending on the subject that they teach or the level of difficulty of the subject. However, I guess I could classify them now depending on how they teach, whether they are objective, subjective, or their somewhere in the middle. Subjective teachers are those who do not really go by the book. They use their own style in teaching. They prefer group discussions to long, sometimes boring, lectures. They would rather choose research papers over test papers. They choose to test how the student understand or interprets the lecture instead of drilling them with exams or quizzes. Maybe teachers who teach religion, music, arts, psychology, philosophy and other subject that focus on theories and the like fall under this category.(intrcom?^^)

Objective teachers are the opposite. They enjoy giving long lectures and series of exams depending on the syllabus given to them. Math and Science teachers usually fall under this category. Some can also be a combination of both. At times they can be subjective, and on other occasions they're objective. I can't really specify any subject in particular for this category since it pretty much depends on the person teaching. I think a teacher's style should depend on the subject that they teach. I mean who could really learn from a Math teacher who gives you a research project about some old mathematician instead of teaching you formulas and stuff that matters in Math??(I know people who aren't that into Math would beg to differ!^^)

When I was thinking of a topic for 'Classification'... nothing really came to mind.

Therefore I was left with this.

It ain't that bad I think, I hope..^^

Heart or Mind?

I feel so empty. My mind. My soul. All of me feels like a huge void. A space that I cannot fill up. What's wrong with me? I feel like I'm wandering within the walls of a huge store, crowded with people of different families. I've got nothing to say about my so called life, so I'll just talk about something rather random...or not.When it comes to LOVE, what's more important?

Listen to your HEART or your MIND?

Same as other people, I don't get love so much. I don't know if its because I'm not yet that experienced or if I just simply don't understand, period. *sigh* Can't really say. I can say that I'm so stranger to that subject but there are just things about it that seems like a blur to me.

As I've seen it, LOVE can be a big battle between our mind and our heart, especially when it comes down to making critical decisions about the relationship. Decisions like:

"Should I let her/him go?"

"Do I still love him/her?"

"Can I (still) fight for him/her?"

I've seen my friends get hurt over and over again because they choose to love the wrong people. I admit at one point in time I was guilty of experiencing the same pain. Why is it that if we're the ones involved in the troubled relationship, we think differently? We can't see the flaws of our partner, we really don't want to listen to what our friends have to say about the matter. But when it's the other way around, it's funny but we tend to get mad at them for not listening. I don't really know if I'm still making sense here so try to bare with me.

"Why do even the smartest people fall down and

become dumb when it comes to LOVE?"

The picture above is from DeviantArt. Its title caught my attention as I looked for a picture to serve as a object for my blog. Its title is "Between Mind and Heart". It lead me to think about the question I posted below it.

Can you guys enlighten me a bit?

Which would you choose?
