18/40/60 Rule

with one comment

I thought this rule was pretty interesting. When you’re 18, you worry about what everybody is thinking of you; when you’re 40, you don’t really care what anybody thinks of you; when you’re 60, you realize nobody’s been thinking about you at all.

Its crazy how people Read the rest of this entry »

Oh man, can I say YUMMY! The Belgian waffles at this waffles mobile is on point. I stumpled upon it with my friend Tomomi while talking about street vendors, ironic huh? So I put in my order for their “Mother of all wafels” Brussels Wafel with Strawberry and a bit of whip cream and Tomomi had a WMD aka Wafel of Massive Deliciousness. The both of us devoured our plates!

So by now you probably want to know where you can get some waffles. Well, according to Thomas, the chef, they are in different locations all the time. You can find out where they are currently by visiting their site www.waflesanddinges.com or by calling 1-866-429-7329.

P.S. They also do catering in NYC and tri-state area.

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success

without comments

 

I read and a lot of times I re-read classics, I’m currently disecting Deepak Chopra’s The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. It’s an awesome little gem and I highly recommend it to everybody.

I’m currently in chapter 4, titled The Law of Least Effort and was mcluvin’ this quote:

The past is history, the future is mystery, and this moment is a gift. That is why this moment is called ‘the present’.

I thought that is so amazing and its often something everybody including me sometimes overlook. We all have dreams of making more money, working at a better job or etc but we have to APPRECIATE what we have in the PRESENT which is the GIFT because nothing last forever and one day it can be taken away from you.

I thought that was so awesome.
