Donning the beard

Been thinking about taking over the family business recently. I feel like it's my time to shine and make some money for masel, even if it taking over is tantamount to being the patriarch, the breadwinner. I think I'll be a good businessman/manager, learned a lot from school aboot managing people and stuff. Yeah, school, it is indeed useful. Nevertheless, I still haven't found an application for the binomial and trinomial formula in life. =p

On friends.

Had a coupla drinks with Jac and Khai last night, at Anthology. Haven't seen 'em fer quite a while; been like two months. Updated ourselves 'boot our lives an aw.

Sent an SMS to Gino a while ago asking him to bring my Rubik's Cube when we hook up later. Called me up and told me that they were in Bora, didn't know that they were there. Never liked the beach anyway. I like cold places like Baguio, Tagaytay. Never liked the sun, only on special occassions.

About DABDA.

How does a person know when he/she's in one of the stages of loss? A person has many defense mechanisms like rationalization, displacement and such; that can mislead a person trying to deduce the state that he/she is in. You can relate rationalization with denial, anger with displacement, etcetera etcetera etcetera ellipsis. Haaay, you beautiful mind, when will you ever stop?

Complicated simplification.

The process in which I try to simplify something, problems and such is complicated. Very. A coupla friends told me that when I give suggestion-solutions to problems, the solutions seem to be simple enough. I never realized that though. Before giving any solutions I ponder upon the problem with my biggest sex organ and analyze and analyze and analyze, imagining how it will work. I play the thought over and over. Then I give a simple answer. Why complicate something when it can be simplified? That's what the mathematicians did in Algebra, right? Simplifying the complicated answer, if so, then why not simplify these problems? Hmm, is this the link between the binomial formula and the real world? Can I apply it now? =p

Expand:

(a+b)^n
= ( a + b ) ^ n
= ( a + b ) ^ n
= ( a + b ) ^ n

Or something like that, saw this somewhere in my huge cache of mail messages. =p
