My Top 10 Epiphanies For the Year 2008




What is an epiphany you might ask? An epiphany is the sudden realization or comprehension of the (larger) essence or meaning of something.

Here are my Top 10 Epiphanies For This Year!

1) When someone tells you to do something, or warns you off doing something, they probably have your best interest at heart. It might not seem so at that very moment, but in time, it will be revealed that it was good intentions. However, at that point in time where you have an encounter, you will never know which way the situation will swing. Most likely, you might interpret it as a sign of hostility or some other sign, which might not be the best to accept. But eventually, it will lead you to a better situation.

2) There are no such things as stupid questions, only very stupid people asking them. And strangely enough, they are positioned in very high places, you start to wonder why you're not in their place earning the big bucks acting stupid and they in yours.

3) Woman drivers still only drive at 1 speed, probably only +/- 2km/h at the speed limit, and are always in the overtaking lane when they don't need to be, driving at the speed of snails, oblivious to the long line of cars behind them. They should be banned from driving in the overtaking lane, and anywhere else that they don't know how to move over!

4) Selective hearing, when trained properly, can be a very useful tool for what the boss says.

5) You are only working as hard as the person next to you.

6) Working too hard and fast does not guarantee rewards, it only guarantees that you finish faster and are forced to help others who are perpetually or purposely working slow - that's your reward!

7) Friends are always there till the situation turns sour, then they utterly betray you to the wolves, if they can throw a few back-stabs to wound you first before that, they probably will.

8) You have to break the rules in order to conform to it.

9) Your boss never has your best interest at heart. Completely different and reverse to what was written in 1).

10) In order to work smart, you have to achieve the enlightened state of indifference!

Movies - Showing Now & Coming Soon

Opens Tomorrow! Looking forward to this...



Stephenie Meyer's vampire series has already opened!



Alan Moore's Watchmen, a movie adapted from his award winning graphic novel. Let's hope it turns out right, otherwise Alan Moore will flip, as he always does with all the "moronic" (quoted from Alan's words) movie adaptations!

Tom Cruise in Valkyrie, directed by Superman Returns and X-Men director Bryan Singer. I'm sure this will be a nice one, with dark tones as with all his other movies! Based on the actual WW2 Operation: Valkyrie.


Last but not least, Terminator Salvation's latest poster. Christian Bale seems to be in the limelight with The Dark Knight and Terminator. I think he'll make an excellent John Connor. I wonder what other movies are installed for him.
