McCD

This is about an incident that happened 2 days ago, which I would consider really recent (since I normally don’t get around to writing about it so fast), but it’s just that I was quite happy about what happened, so I thought I’d write it. ;-)

I’ll try to keep it as short as possible, so we’ll see how short it is.

You see, what happened was that lately, McDonalds is having a lot of promotion, free coupons etc… so, my friend, who loves freebies (or rather, free food) told me about it, & we went to McD a lot of times because of that (it seems that I just realized that some of my friends now are the kind who actually pay attention of offers, promotions, coupons, unlike me ^^;).

So, the thing is, that there’s this challenge thing where you chant these 4 lines in 4 seconds to get a free big mac. Of course, you don’t just chant it, you have to buy a McValue meal before you can get an entry coupon to chant, but there’re ways to get an entry coupon without buying a McValue meal hehehe. XD

Anyway, these are the 4 lines:

Two all beef patties
Special sauce, lettuce
Cheese, pickles, onions
On a sesame seed bun!

You can try to see whether you can do it in 4 seconds, but cos I’m a pessimistic person, I thought it was impossible. My friend, however, seems to be good at speaking fast, so she could do it easily.

Anyway, we went there quite a number of times to go & chant & get free big macs, & at one of those times, I noticed a stack of cds (they looked like audio, but I don’t think they are, but it has songs inside) there, so we asked what it was for, & it seemed that they were consolation prizes, & cos I kinda like cds (I dunno why though), so I was thinking that I might as well try chanting it, & if I can’t, then I get the cd anyway.

The funny thing was, I actually managed to do it in 4 seconds! Lol~ ^^;
So I didn’t get the cd, which I couldn’t help but feel that I wanted the cd, or else I wouldn’t have tried to chant it, but I thought, never mind, I can always try to chant again & see whether I make it in 4 seconds.

But even though I tried again a few times after that, I didn’t get the cd, & I didn’t want to purposely lose, you see. But every time I came, I would sort of stare longingly at the stack ^^;

So, what happened was the woman who always timed us (I think she could recognize us cos we came nearly every day there for the past week, even if we didn’t chant it) saw that I wanted the cd, so then she actually said, “You can have it if you want.”

& I couldn’t believe what she was saying, cos she already told us last time that they were consolation, & so I had to lose to get that cd, so I said, “Really?” & she said yes. So, I was stuttering by that time, & trying to say that I thought that I needed to lose 1st before I could get it.

But she gave it to me anyway, & she said, “Well, you’re supposed to lose first to get the cd, but you can take it anyway.”

^__________^

She was so nice~ XD

So, that’s how I got a free cd in my hands, & all the while, I couldn’t help thinking about how nice she was to give me a free cd when I didn’t even do anything ^^

& I’d like to go on about how nice she is, but that’s silly right, so I’ll stop here ^^;

There isn’t much to say, because if I said more, I’ll be repeating myself, & I don’t wanna do that.

But she IS nice~ XP

I was really touched, happy & grateful after that, so I wanted to blog about it because you don’t meet many ppl like that these days.

But then again, maybe I was fooled (in a way) because maybe she was just like a salesman who gives you a small gift when you actually already paid a lot before that. T_T; because after thinking about it, she’s not really losing anything, because we won so many big macs before this, which we could have lost, so think how many cds she would’ve been giving us then.

But even if she wasn’t naturally nice, she’s still not so bad, because it was not necessary to give me the cd, but maybe she’s quite a PR person, I dunno.

Anyway, I’ve finished blogging, & I should be studying now, since I really feel like I’m gonna fail law. O_O;

It’s so stupid, how can anyone remember so friggin much?!? T_T; it just goes on & on & on, & it’s hard to write & answer the stupid question~ ;-(

That’s why I think it’s obvious I still haven’t grown up yet, but I don’t see how I can suddenly grow up, but maybe I must just answer law questions every day & try to write as much as possible without actually writing crap. ^^;

Sorry to end it like this, I shouldn’t be complaining about my problems, so I’ll really stop here. ;-)

See ya next time! ^__^

PS: is the post short? XP

Rant

hi, I'm late, again ^^; as in, I meant to post earlier, but kept on delaying, & no, I'm not doing the tag today, but I still wanted to show my sort-of enthusiasm or liking in blogging, so here I am. You see, the tag needs pictures, & well, I still don't have them atm, & so I'm slowly trying to collect those stupid pictures, but I really want nice pictures! & they're not easy to get, based on my standards (lol ;-P), so if I'm really fed up, I'll just post the pics, & state that it's not as nice as it could be ^^;

Today's topic may be a bit boring though... after all, it's a rant (which, to be honest, I still don't really know what it mean, so I hope my interpretation of the word is correct).

Basically, what I'm gonna do is talk about my problems atm, but more in a complaining way. ^^; Normally, I don't like to do this, but I have felt stressed lately, & I thought I'd post this (actually, I was so frustrated that I really wanted to vent my frustration by writing all my feelings out, but I was so slow in actually getting to the writing that my urge to do it went away, but what the heck, I'm still writing it ;-P probably with less feeling than I wanted though, but at least my head is clear).

So if you're not interested in reading someone else complaining about their own life, then it's better that you don't read this.

Well, let me rant about the normal, or rather, more common thing first. My internal exam. Anyway, to be honest, what I didn't really tell anybody was how horrible I felt after my exam. >_<; Seriously, usually I'm not the kind of person who'd be affected by exams, or rather, my own performance in the exam because my principle is "what's past is past. no point crying over spilt milk." Which I do, actually, just not over spilt milk, but you get my point lol. Anyway, yeah, I felt really horrible, but it was super hard to tell anybody about it, because I'm so used to seeing other ppl moan about how badly they did, & I'd usually be listening to it, so after all that, I really didn't want to be one of the "moaning ppl" ^^;. But I really wanted to moan at that time, so I felt quite pathetic & worthless.

Also, another big reason why I didn't want to moan, which is also why I don't want to be one of the moaning ppl, & which also relates to my principle, is really because there is no point in repeating yourself about the same old thing, but that shows how strong our feelings are, I guess. Which is why, I realise, humans tend to repeat themselves. Most of the humans anyway, that I meet. Even I do it, & so I realise that I actually like to repeat saying certain things, but these are usually happy things, or funny things. Other ppl may repeat different things. I wouldnt' mind giving examples, but there are too many examples, so I feel it's better if you actually think about it yourself & see whether ppl actually do that, unless you know about it already, then congratulatons! I'm proud of you~ ^__^

The main thing that I wanted to rant about though, is the less normal thing, or rather, a problem not many people should be experiencing (at least, not the ppl I know) but it's a trivial matter, which is why I never really bothered to mention it. Anyway, I don't tell many ppl about this, but I always seem to have around 50GB on the com. yup, seriously, it's 50 friggin' GB!!! If you dare say it's not a big deal, I will try my best to put all the stuff on your com & see whether your com lasts with all that space of stuff. T_T; I mean, I normally can't help wondering where it all comes from. Then, after checking, I'll be thinking, "Oh, rite, this 10GB is from here, that 15GB is from there," & it kinda adds up. But I've been burning & burning & still it's around there. Obviously, I download too much but I really don't wanna stop downloading. Maybe I'm not so good at compiling stuff to burn, which shows just how obsessive-compulsive I am, because I like things to be as perfect as possible, which most of the time they're not, but it's not totally imperfect. I do sort of plan what I want to burn when I download it. There just seem to be a lot of potential stuff that I want to burn, but they're just incomplete, which is actually my problem, I think.

Anyway, the latest thing that happened, which may be amusing, is that I realised I had 50GB (again) on my com, so I decided to burn, & I saw 2 potential dvds I could burn (it's like, "What, only 2?!?" lol). So, I started actually d/ling to burn those 2 dvds, & guess what? When I finally burned it, & checked the folder I have, it was 49GB... I was like, "WTH?!?!?" So I was trying to figure out why 2 dvds, which shld be 7-8GB burned off (& deleted obviously from the com) result in only 1 GB or so difference from before I burned. Then, I realised that I downloaded so much during the past week (including the stuff that I burned) that it actually came up to that amt, & I was kinda back to where I started. Well, not really, cos if you think about it, I have more than previously, with what I downloaded, but back to where I started in the sense that I made no progress in trying to clear space on the com.

Actually, I think that I wouldn't care so much about all that space if my dad wasn't nagging me about it, but he doesn't always nag me about it, & yet it feels like a problem for me because of the fact that he does nag, & it's still often enough to make me feel that our computer is in danger, or being slow, or lagging, just because of all my stuff. So, it may be a good thing that he's nagging me, because then I'll do sth about it (or at least try to), but I feel so stupid at times to get stressed or feel pressured about these kinda things >_>

Anyway, before I start repeating myself, & ranting some more, I thought I'd end it here, because although I'd like to moan & complain more (I got in the mood again haha), it's just that I can't help feeling it's boring (to read), & I still don't like the fact that I'm moaning, although at least I finally did it, & it's in writing! XD so that's my evidence that I grumbled lol ^^

Besides, I think I wrote a lot, but I am long-winded, so maybe that's why I delay so much at blogging, cos I knew I can't help going on & on ^^;

So, anyway, I thought I'd end with a pic, but it's not a great pic, just more of evidence haha.

As you can see, it's less than 50GB by a bit, but that's because I burned another dvd after that & also 3 cds at least, so it should be less than 50, but... still not much difference. ^^;

Btw, the things I wanted to write more about, were actually the details of where all that 50GB came from, but I thought that would be also quite boring, & it would take more effort on my part, because I'd be putting more pics here ^^;

But seriously, when I was thinking about all the stuff I burned, I can't help thinking that I burned at least 50 GB over the past year, which shows just how much I have downloaded since last year when I got the unlimited connection. O_O

I'll just say this, though, although I know I shouldn't, but it'll make me happy, so please don't mind me. My gay comics, which I started downloading since last year, are around 20GB! XD XD & still more to come~ (btw, the 20GB is not included in the 50GB, cos I burned at least 12GB & deleted it already, so 20GB is like the total of all that I have) ^__^ & I found out that someone else has 32GB of gay comics, so I was thinking, "Haha, I've still got a long way to go lol" XP

& now I'm tired, so I'll go to sleep~ *__*

PS: If you noticed, I did repeat myself in a way, as in, one of the things about me is that I tend to overuse a number of words, & I am predictable in that way (close friends who hang out with me all the time normally notice this, you see, & tease me about it). So, you may have spotted it, which I wouldn't be surprised, but if you didn't, then that makes me happy, but see whether you can or not! XP
