Toilet water, cheers, & sighs
I was peeing at 4 a.m. a few days ago. It was just one of those times where one gets up in the middle of the ungodly hours because it can't be helped.
Anyway, I peed, closed the toilet bowl, and leaned on it to get at the flush knob. Then I see this...
*scary music playing or some other appropriate additions to the ambience* OK so maybe people are thinking "What the heck are you looking at?" Not KOHLER evidently. That's just the brand of our pearly white toilet bowl. No, I mean
below that.
That's right.
Every flush costs 1.6 gallons (or six liters) of water. I freaked out for an inordinate amount of time about the water I've been wasting. I drink about a sixth of that amount a day, and every time I use the toilet,
I flush 1.6 gallons (or six liters)?
So using both units is a little silly but when the brain is forced to work at 4 a.m., these things happen. But I digress once again.
I did get pretty tired of going over that fact after a while. In fact, I went back to sleep.
It was just an observation.
*******
Now for the cheers.
I've learned how to do something new! (YAY ME.)
I've been playing with my Adobe Photoshop lately. Just happily making blog designs which are all
here. I'm using one of them right now, in fact.
And if it's getting tiring to see my blog change skins periodically then I don't think you'll have to worry. I don't think I'm changing this design for months.
But I could always eat my words later. :DAnd as for the sighs... Has anyone noticed (at least in the Philippines) that school is almost starting? I don't know if I should be happy that I'll be facing new challenges and growing as a person. Or should I be sad and go kicking and screaming?
It's a hard choice to make.
As summer sets, I'll be as productive as I can doing things I want to do. In fact, we're going out with Daphy (my sister) and Allie (adopted cousin).
I leave you with a picture of us looking as cute as we can manage. I don't think it was much in my case.

So I'm Daisy (or fedora_girl)
I'm (naturally) wearing the fedora.
I'm a Chemical Engineering student --- getting that degree sometimes involves putting my brain through a strainer --- who also enjoys living life and eating like every meal is my last meal.
I'm a child of God, and that gives my life meaning.
I adore my family and friends. We spend a lot of time together, so they occasionally come up in my posts.
I also take pictures, do computer work, and scribble. I use Adobe Photoshop for long periods of time, and design blogs. I submit most of my good photos and drawings in
my DeviantArt account, and my blog designs in
my Blogskins account.
I read a lot. My favorite books of all time are the Holy Bible,
Pride & Prejudice,
The Scarlet Pimpernel,
The Boy Who Could Fly,
The Nanny, &
Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.
I don't like watching TV because I feel it gives me wrong ideas about the real world. I'm partial to period dramas, musicals and other good movies though. A few that I like are
Pride & Prejudice (2005 version),
North & South (a BBC TV drama),
Facing The Giants,
Sixteen Candles, &
Singin' In The Rain.
I love music; I like a lot of genres. I'm getting into country music and some good rock at the moment. I also adore movie soundtracks and songs that are more than 60 years old.
And about this blog...
It's pretty much a personal thing. It's filled to the brim with my escapades, thoughts, stuff I make, and just plain observations. Random, really.
Hope you enjoy it!
