Un site care mi-a atras atentia
Uitandu-ma la CSI:NY ( multa lume stie ca sunt fan inrait si tocmai de asta voi studia criminologia in facultate) am descoperit un site foarte incitant :D - episodul era despre new yorkezi care isi trimiteau cele mai adanci secrete unei necunoscute si astfel isi luau o piatra de pe inima. ( mai trebuie sa spun ca tipa le folosea in scopuri not-so-charitable :)) ?
Anyway - acesta este site-ul care chiar ma fascineaza - ENJOY!

Chit ca e criza, rasul e gratis :))
Guvernul roman a promis ca va asigura slujbe pentru someri pe perioada crizei financiare.Ele vor fi oficiate de preoti , episcopi si mitropoliti.
Stiti cum bate criza la usa ?
− Boc ! Boc !
I: Cum il enerveaza sotia pe Emil Boc acasa?
R:Ii pune cheile pe frigider!
Doi bancheri :
− Pe mine ma omoara criza asta, nu mai am somn... Tu cum ai dormit azi noapte?
− Ca un prunc..., am plans toata noaptea si m-am si c...t pe mine de vreo doua ori...
Bula nedumerit dupa scoala isi intreaba tatal:
− Tata, care este diferenta dintre prosperitate si criza? intreaba Bula.
− E simplu, Bula. Prosperitate inseamna Mercedes, sampanie, vila la Snagov, amanta. Criza inseamna metrou, sifon, garsoniera in Ferentari, ma-ta
1. In perioada crizei financiare poti face o mica avere doar daca pornesti de la una mai mare.
2. Guvernul roman va asigura slujbe pentru someri pe perioada crizei financiare. Ele vor fi oficiate de preoti, episcopi si mitropoliti.
3. Care este diferenta dintre un bancher si o pizza mare? Cu pizza mare langa tine nu mori de foame.
4. De ce nu se mai uita agentii imobiliari pe geam dimineata la lucru? Pentru ca nu ar avea ce face dupa-masa!
5. Dorind sa-i faca o surpriza sotului care era mare banker, sotia ii face o vizita la birou. Intra si il vede stand linistit cu secretara in brate. Fara sa ezite bancherul spune: ...domnilor, o fi criza financiara, dar eu nu pot lucra doar cu un scaun in birou!
6. Un om mascat cu pusca intro banca: "nu vreau bani, vreau sa vi-i imprumutati unii la altii!"
7. Criza financiara poate fi mai rea decat un divort. Te poate lasa cu mai putin de 50% din avere.

Potopul in viziunea moderna....ENJOY!
In anul 2010, vine Dumnezeu la Noe, care traia linistit in ... si-i zice:
- Noe, pamantul s-a umplut de rautate si oamenii M-au uitat. Vreau sa-mi construiesti o noua Arca, pentru ca Potopul va veni iar. Sa iei din fiecare specie cate un exemplar mascul si femela. Ai la dispozitie 6 luni de zile!
Dupa 6 luni se uita Dumnezeu pe pamant si-l vede pe Noe plangand in gradina.
- Noe !!! Sunt pe cale sa incep Potopul, unde este Arca ???
- Iarta-ma Doamne, dar lucrurile s-au mai schimbat intre timp ..... Am nevoie de autorizatie de constructie. Ma tot cert cu un inspector, pentru un sistem antiincendiu, vecinii m-au dat in judecata pentru ca am incalcat planul de urbanism construind Arca in gradina mea si nu am respectat normele de inaltime.
Apoi compania de electricitate a cerut sa pun ipoteca pe Arca in vederea acoperirii costurilor de transport si de mutare a liniilor de inalta tensiune ce trebuie date la o parte din calea Arcei pentru a fi lansata la apa. Degeaba le-am spus eu ca va veni marea la mine, ca nu m-au crezut.
Sa fac rost de lemn, a fost o alta problema. Este interzis sa tai lemn din padurile invecinate deoarece acolo traieste bufnita cu pete care-i o specie protejata. Am incercat sa-i conving pe ecologisti ca tai lemnul tocmai pentru a salva bufnita, dar nici n-au vrut sa stea de vorba cu mine.
Cand am inceput sa adun animalele, am fost dat in judecata de un grup de activisti pentru protectia animalelor. Ei sustineau ca tin animale salbatice sechestrate impotriva vointei lor si de asemenea, au sustinut ca sa pun atatea animale intr-un spatiu atat de mic, inseamna cruzime asupra lor.
Apoi Ministerul Mediului, au spus ca nu am voie sa construiesc Arca pana cand reprezentantii lor nu fac un studiu de mediu si implicatiile pe care Potopul Tau le poate avea asupra mediului..
Inca am un proces in derulare cu Ministerul Muncii deoarce nu m-am hotarat cate minoritati ale grupurilor etnice sa angajez pe santier. Blocul Sindical nu ma lasa sa fiu ajutat de proprii copiii la constructie deoarece acestia nu fac parte din Sindicat si nu au certificare ISCIR pentru constructia de Arce.
Ca sa fie totul si mai rau, Fiscul, mi-a confiscat toate posesiile deoarece ei sustin ca vreau sa parasesc tara cu specii de animale pe cale de disparitie.
Deci Doamne iarta-ma dar, imi trebuie pe putin 10 ani ca sa fac tot ce mi-ai zis!!

Health Tips :))
Dr. Paulo Ubiratan, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, într-un interviu TV locale, a fost întrebat despre mai multe sfaturi pe care întotdeauna le a dat ...
Întrebare: exercitii cardiovasculare prelungesc viata, nu?
R: inima ta a fost facuta pentru a bate un numãr de ori ... Nu-ti irosi bataile cu exercitii. Totul în cele din urmã se uzeazã. Accelerarea inimii tale nu va va face sa trãiti mai mult: Asta e ca si cum ai spune ca se poate extinde durata vietii masinii dvs. daca o faceti sa mearga mai repede. Vrei sa traiesti mai mult? Ia un pui de somn!
Î: Ar trebui sã mã opresc cu consumul de carne rosie si sa mãnânc mai multe fructe si legume?
R: Tu trebuie sã întelegi logistica eficientei ... . Vaca ce manânca? Iarbã si porumb. Ce sunt alea? Plante. Deci, o friptura nu este nimic mai mult, este un mecanism eficient de a pune legume în sistemul dumneavoastrã. Vrei sa manânci boabe? Mãnâncã pui.
Î: Ar trebui sã reduc consumul de alcool?
R: Categoric nu. Vinul se face pe bazã de fructe. Brandy este distilat din vin, ceea ce înseamnã cã acestea trage apa din fructe, astfel încât sã profite din plin din ea. Berea este, de asemenea, din cereale. Le puteti lua!
Î: Care sunt avantajele unui program regulat exercitii fizice?
R: Filosofia mea este: Dacã nu aveti nicio durere ... sunteti bine!
Î: Fripturile sunt daunatoare?
A: Nu m-ai ascultat! ... Astãzi alimentele sunt prajite in ulei vegetal. Adevãrul este cã acestea raman impregnate cu ulei vegetal. Cum ar putea uleiul de plante sa fie dãunãtoare pen tru tine?
Q: Flexiunile ajuta la reducerea grasimii?
R: Categoric nu! Exercitarea unui muschi doar il face sã creasca în dimensiune.
Î: Ciocolata face rau?
R: Esti nebun? ! E cacao! O alta legume! Este o mâncare bunã pentru a fi fericit!
Si tine minte: Viata, nu ar trebui sã fie o cãlãtorie pânã la mormânt, cu intentia de a ajunge sanatos, cu un corp atractiv si un organism bine conservat. Mai bine ia pe celalat drum - Bere într-o mânã - chips de cartofi în cealalta - mult sex si un organism complet uzat, pe deplin folosit, strigând ca A MERITAT SA FACI CALATORIA!
D. P: Daca a umbla ar fi sanatos, postasul ar fi nemuritor .....!
Balena innoata toatã ziua, mananca doar peste si apa si totusi e TARE GRASA.....!
REMEMBER:
Un iepure alearga, sare toata viata si traieste15 ani, broasca testoasã nu alearga NICIODATA si trãieste 450 de ani.

Premiul nu ajunge intotdeauna la cine trebuie....
Recent o batranica de 98 de ani pe nume Irene a murit...dar dincolo de banalitatea acestei morti.....Irene, in timpul celui de al doilea razboi mondial, fiind de etnie germana, a cerut permisiunea sa lucreze in Lagarul de concentrare pt evrei din Varsovia ca si croitoreasca sau femeie de servici. Mai tarziu s-a dovedit a avea un motiv bine intemeiat: aflase ce intentii marsave aveau nazistii cu copiii evreilor. Asa ca, zilnic, ea scotea copiii supusi pieirii intr-o cutie de unelte sau un sac de panza groasa (pt copii mai mari) pe care le cara cu ea intr-un carucior! De asemenea, mai avea un caine dresat sa latre ori de cate ori era nevoie sa intre si sa iese din lagar, dar mai ales pt a latra ca sa acopere scancetele copiilor ascunsi in carucior! Soldatii nu banuiau nimic pt ca era germanca si nu aveau nimic importriva cainelului! In tot acest timp ea a reusit sa smulga din gheara mortii 2500 de copii sau bebelusi. Totusi ea a fost prinsa si a fost batuta cu bestialitate de compatriotii sai, fiindu-i rupte in bataie si bratele si picioarele.
Irene a tinut o evidenta a tuturor copiilor salvati de ea, carora le scrisese numele intr-un jurnal inchis intr-un borcan si igropat in spatele casei ei. Cu ajutorul acestuia ea a incercat sa localizeze parintii copiilor care au supravietuit la sfarstiul razboiului si sa le reuneasca familiile, dar majoritatea fusesera ucisi in camerele de gazare naziste. Astfel ca toti copiii care au fost salvati de ea au fost plasati in familii adoptive sau case de copii.
Anul trecut, Irena a fost nominalizata pt Premiul Nobel pt Pace pt anul 2007....dar.....nu a fost aleasa ca si caastigatoare....in schimb a castigat un anume domn...pt un banal slide show legat de Incalzirea Globala ....ce mai pacifist, domnule, nu gluma...e greu sa faci un slide show...nu??? Cu atat mai greu sa salvezi 2500 de suflete nevinovate...lumea e cu susul in jos!!! Adevarata valoare nu se mai recunoaste!
Acest mesaj este un semnal de alarma si un omagiu adus celor care au murit fara a avea vreo vina, pt cai care considera Holocaustul un "mit" care nu a existat vreodata, dar care pare a se repeta!
Scopul acestui mesaj este de a ajunge la peste 40 de milioane din intreaga lume!!! Alaturati-va si pastrati acest lant comemorial, pentru ca niciodata sa nu se mai intample ce s-a intamplat !!!

Eye Candy!
Since most of us only dream of having a HOT yet ROMANTIC one-night-stand with a total stranger in a foreighn country, here are some really amazing pics of one of my fav actors Jude Law! And he looks MAMMA MIA! Enjoy and try not to drool all over the keyboard :))
Here R some quotes:
“When you step back and watch people, you realize that we use every single body part. Movement, dance - I find it genius because it's ultimate expression, really.”
“It was the shaving that bothered me the most. I'm not a great fan of shaving and I had to be really clean-shaven, hands, head, hairline, all the fluff off my face, everything except my eyebrows, so this sheen, this kind of polish they used on me, would stick.”
“Look, how many stories have I broken? Hundreds. How many have proved to be untrue? There isn't one.”
“Personally speaking there's only so long you can go from film to film to film. There's an inspiration an actor gets from the stage.”
“I have always loved Sean Penn's work ...I think it should be his year, personally,”
Let’ß pack our bags for a new and awesome adventure!
First thing’s first! Packing for dummies!
Packing for a vacation is every-one's nightmare, although many of us love to travel, very few of us love to pack! Packing usually comes at a bad day too - people often finish work one day and fly the next, or even later that night! Packing is squeezed into the time between, when you tend to be at your most stressed. As with most things - if you have a plan things will be easier and less-stressed - I'm sorry I can't promise stress free! Efficient packing should ideally mean that you return from holiday having used everything you took more than once! So lets start with what to take.
So here R some useful tips:
• Choose clothes appropriate for the climate. If you are going somewhere warm and leaving a cold climate consider leaving a set of warm clothes in the car if you are leaving it at the airport, or with friends if you are being collected.
• Stick with one basic colour scheme preferably a dark one which won't show marks and wrinkles so much.
• Make clothing items do double duty, men's shorts can be double as swimming trunks, a woman's tankini top can be an evening top. A shirt can layer over a dress in place of a jacket.
• Take multiple thinner items which can be layered instead of one bulky heavier piece. Thermal underwear is fantastic for cooler climates.
• A sarong can be the most useful item you take doubling as a skirt, dress, shawl, beach towel, top sheet and a tablecloth. You can even use it as a bag in a pinch!
• Shoes are always difficult: heavy and bulky. Try to wear your heaviest/bulkiest pair on the plane. I try to limit myself to 3 pairs: a pair comfortable for walking extended distances, a pair of sandals or flip flops and a dresser pair for evening!
Other items one finds particulary useful:
• A travel alarm if you don't have the function on a watch or cellphone that you are taking with you.
• Prescription medicines and a copy of the prescription in case you loose your bags. If you need glasses to see make sure you have a back up: an old pair, contacts or prescription sunglasses.
• Toiletries: take a minimum. If you are only going on a short trip take sample sizes or buy small containers and decant some to take with you. If, however, you are traveling for a long time then don't take 6 months supply - you can buy almost anything anywhere these days.
• Liquid soap and shampoo can be used interchangeably - you don't need both. You can buy solid shave soap which is lot more compact than carrying a shaving foam aerosol.
• If flying don't take brand new bottles of liquid - the liquid will expand slightly as the lower pressures on the plane and leak - use each bottle once to avoid this problem. Creams and aerosols are OK.
• Make sure your toiletries bag is actually waterproof - a surprising number aren't and bottles do break.
• Credit cards -preferably two in case one is lost or broken or eaten by the ATM.
• Details of your insurance policy. Important phone numbers or email addresses of medical specialists, family, work, anyone you may need to contact if something occurs to delay your return.
What NOT TO PACK!
• Anything you are taking "just in case". If you happen to get a last minute invite to the Queen's Garden Party in England ladies will need a hat - take the opportunity to go shopping!
• A cellphone unless you know it work at your destination and you know what the roaming charges are.
• Anything electronic unless you are sure you can plug them in / charge them at your destination.
• Anything you are sentimentally attached to or is particularly jewellery - you may have it stolen but far more likely you may just misplace it or leave it behind.

New Geographic Discoveries!
The specimen I am going to present today is directly linked to our theme day, travelling – I present to you Miss Eyeballs! ( dunno about Miss but B***h is illegal : )) without proof :D She is very EYEcatching .... NOT
Anyway, to call her a bitch would be an offense to dogs who have adorkable puppies : ))
She just likes to demonstrate how healthy her lungs are, and is constanly yelling @ us- we’re not deaf lady , you have a problem! ( or more ) 4 Real now, she is just plain old DUMB – my cat is smarted than her – she can roll over, play dead and catch mice – but Miss Eyeballs gives homework.
By now you are probably wondering why we called her M.E. – well, it’s not because of her long legs, I’ll give you that! It is quite hard to describe her shocking appearance when it comes to her eyes b/c the human mind cannot conceive such attrocities ( so let’s blame it on faulty, and I maen FAULTY DNA ) Big, washed-up Green and Sickening, out – of – the – socket creepy Halloween-like EYES! BuHuHOO! I am pretty sure she has Xray vision or at least infra-red : ))
Let us move on to her dresscode( which is practically inexistant ) She looks like a scarecrow dressed from second hand shops. MayB her theme is Halloween....
Her haido looks like uncle It from the Adams family is about to pop out and say „Goodmorning America ” ! She surely belongs in a FREAK SHOW!
DO you know why she will never have kids? In spite of her being married, ( God knows what the guy looks like or how severe his myopia is) the sperm goeas the other way cuz it’s afraid of all the bats and spiders in the „ Amazonian Jungle ”
And now for her intellectual qualities ( or rather lack of )- se constantly repeats herself- mayB she has a short memory ( or Occham’s razor , she is just stupid ) and bounces a lot –like I’m gonna remember all the rivers in Germany if she keeps jumping like a fudgin rabbit up and down, up and down! More often than not she looks backwards @ maps and the most of the things she tries to teach us is just evidently WRONG! Since when did Geneva more to Italy or Romania has 400 km of highway ( it does if you count back and forth – TWICE! )
That’s all 4 2day on this topic folks, please enjoy my travel guide and my FREE travel magazines!

How High! Or The Cioby Way! : ))
And who is our mysterious woman? A great teacher but a clumsy one nonetheless : )) Her behavior should be researched, 4 real!
One day she was just strolling with Hitler and talking about skl – he was going on and on about I dunno what contest while she was admiring the clean windows : ))
In class she often has selective hearing, she never listens to us when we have Q, but she seems to hear every single word of Gossip. But everybody just loves her b/c she is never mean or sarcastic and she ussually doesn’t get mad if we all head for a cup of tea in Gatsby. We have great marks and her classes are often a great way to socialize.
SO no complaints here- despite her gregarious behavior. : ))
Hip hip HURRAH!

But everybody just loves her b/c she is never mean or sarcastic and she ussually doesn’t get mad if we all head for a cup of tea in Gatsby. We have great marks and her classes are often a great way to socialize.
SO no complaints here- despite her gregarious behavior. : ))
Hip hip HURRAH!
The Truth is Out There ;)
In my last post I mentioned my all-time favorite writer, So I present to you Oscar Wilde!
A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
A man can't be too careful in the choice of his enemies.
America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.
I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.
If you pretend to be good, the world takes you very seriously. If you pretend to be bad, it doesn't. Such is the astounding stupidity of optimism.
It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is

Hoe Hoe Hoe!
Not, it's not the Hollidays, it's just my phylosophy teacher :))
As many of U already know, I am still in skl This means that I have to wake up every fudgin’ morning @ 6:30 so as to get 2 skl on time - and yeah , it totally sucks!
Anyway, a few teachers are just plain brainless – not only do they have high demands but they also expect us 2 read 50 God Damn books on our freakin’ vacation – Are U for real ? Get a life!
Today I am gonna talk about Miss B – a true lady ( NOT – just a bitch with an attitude and many many degrees : ))
Unfortunately , we’ve had her for almost 4 years ( she is teaching when The Grim Reaper is paying her numerous visits home) and she just keeps telling us what an extraordinary, exceptional and remarkable psychologist she really is ( probably really deep down , where angels fear to tread )
She is constantly reminding us not to try to cheat b/c she will undoubtably detect us( with her paranormal – more likely abnoramal capabilities ) so I shamelessly stood in the front row and got an A+ for my cunning actions : )) Just as my fav all time writer said “There is no sin except stupidity.” : )) She is definitely going to HELL! ( but what if those guys send her back ??? )
Another great example of her fashionable imbecility is the lack of personal hygene – for God’s sake, we don’t live in Uganda where there is a shortage of water! ( no offence for those who live there) And last time I checked soap was pretty accesible to the general population, it’s not like it’s uranium! We, the humble students of CH have to put up with her dreadful stench that floods the classroom right after she takes a few steps- many claim that deodorant is not to be used because it is hazardous to our health( go Bio then, i don’t give a damn!) but what about all those health nuts who claim that God wanted women to be natural? Did God wanted us to kill eachother with our reek? B/c we would have been dead by now : ))
Once, to prove to us that she is a complete retard, she brought her diplomas and gradebook with her – who knows what she did( or better said, who she did) for those marks. I have a colleague whose mummy brings flowers 2 our teachers and he’s got great marks 2! (pls bear in mind that he is only 19 )
Seriously, it’s not my fault that a sexually frustrated drunk and drug addict decided to write his life philosophy ??? That’ß a whole lot of BS! Some ppl want to be doctors or lawyers not eat shit all day ( but then again , she already stinks....)
To draw a conclusion, PLEASE USE WATER AND SOAP ( AND TOOTHPASTE ) DAILY so as to not be responsible for the extinction of mankind ; )) And never tell anyone about Ur philosophy on life – God forbid our kids have to go through this crap!

How to sharpen your listening skills
ike everyone else, I often am accused of not listening. It’s not that I don’t try; I just have so many thoughts running through my head and can’t focus on everything.
So how can we all avoid distractions, get rid of the brain fog and stop getting lost in our own thoughts?
Attentive listening is not only a skill, but also a process that can actually help focus your thoughts and stop your mind wandering.
Like your parents used to say – “pay attention’.
Attention is the cognitive process of selectively concentrating on one aspect of the environment while ignoring other things.
The goal of attentive listening is to improve your understanding by focusing on what’s really been said and what they mean. It’s important to listen completely and understand the real meaning first, before reacting. In addition, attentive listeners have relational goals like giving a positive impression, advancing the relationship, or demonstrating care.
Of course this is nothing new. I was amazed to find out that as far back as 1890, William James, in his book Principles of Psychology, remarked:
“Everyone knows what attention is. It is the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought. Focalization and concentration of consciousness are of its essence. It implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others, and in a condition which has a real opposite in the confused, dazed, scatterbrained state which in French is called distraction, and Zerstreutheit in German.”
Attention remains a major area of investigation within education, psychology and neuroscience. Many of the major debates of James' time remain unresolved. For example, although most scientists accept that attention can be split, strong proof has remained elusive. And there is still no widely accepted definition of attention more concrete than that given in the James quote above. This lack of progress has led many observers to speculate that attention refers to many separate processes without a common mechanism.
So listening is actually an active behaviour rather than a passive one. Be in the present. Work hard at focusing on what’s being said, then digest the information.
Don’t multi-task if you are supposed to be listening. You wind up listening to only part of what someone says, or pretending to listen while you think about something else. You also sacrifice important non-verbal clues and information about their underlying meaning.
Wait until they finish making their points before you speak. Don't interrupt, even to agree with them, and don't jump in with your own suggestions before they explain what they have already done, plan to do, or have thought about doing. This includes being aware enough to stop yourself from doing any of the following:-
- Making critical or judgmental faces or sounds.
- Trying to "fix" their problem with a quick suggestion.
- Interrogating them to make them answer a question you have about their situation.
- Trying to cheer them up or tell them things aren't so bad.
- Criticizing them for getting into their situation.
- Telling them what you would do or have done in the past.
If you don't understand or aren't sure about a point they are trying to make, repeat a brief portion of the part you didn't understand and ask them to tell you more about it to help you understand better.
I think you’ll be amazed at the difference your mind has in processing information if you make the effort to listen in an attentive manner in the first place.
Of course it takes a massive effort to concentrate for the time period you are listening. Don’t believe me? Let’s do a simple test to see how long you can focus your attention. I want you to look at the second hand on a clock, or the seconds on your digital watch. Now focus all your thoughts on the movement of that second hand. Don’t daydream. Whenever a thought interferes with your concentration, go back to your starting point and start again.
It’s not as easy as you might think. If you can do thirty seconds that’s a great start, but way short of what should be your target goal. The more you do it though it will help your ability to keep your mind completely focused by concentrating on one thing. Do this exercise every morning and you’ll find it gets easier with practice.
A great example of high levels of focused concentration is in the movie “For the Love of the Game”. It may not be a classic, although I loved it. Kevin Costner plays a veteran baseball pitcher and uses a phrase “clear the mechanism” to allow him to fully focus and clear all noise and distractions from his mind before a pitch. Maybe we could have our own phrase to trigger the thought process??
Another way of doing this might be to set aside some time later in the day where we can focus on the issues that are worrying us or dominating our thoughts. By telling yourself that you’ll devote 30 minutes, say after dinner, to give time to those things that have been interrupting your concentration. Factor this in as a daily process and your mind will soon realize that it can take time to mull these issues over later – just make sure you keep to your schedule (unfortunately you can’t delude yourself).
Whether it’s the key phrase or scheduling a later time that works for you, introduce some process that helps you focus and be more attentive.

Best Memory Tricks!
If you have memory problems, you might not be using your brain in the right way. The solution? Learn the best memory trick used by professional memory performers.
These performers amaze us with all sorts of memory feats, such as magically remembering the exact order of the 52 cards in a deck (or even several decks!). You might assume these people have photographic memories, but you would be wrong. Most of them only have average memories.
Instead, memory performers use a technique that I will call “Visualization and Association” (V&A). This is a fun memory trick that anyone who wants to have a great memory can learn. If you have trouble remembering your school work, or facts related to your job, or current events, or people’s names, or any other type of information, the solution is to learn V&A and make it a personal habit you use every day.
Even if you only have an average memory – or even a bad memory – you can still use V&A to memorize things easily and well. Small children have been taught this technique, so anyone can learn it.
How the V&A Technique Works
Most people remember images better than verbal or written information. For example, I may be able to easily imagine the different homes I have lived in during my life, even though I might have a hard time remembering all the addresses and phone numbers.
Images are concrete, while raw information is often abstract. With the V&A technique, you convert the abstract information into easy-to-remember mental pictures.
Before I explain how to do the V&A memory technique, let me explain why it works. I have already mentioned that images are easier to remember. But it goes beyond that. Other important aspects of memory that V&A takes advantage of are concentration and repetition.
If you can’t focus, you won’t remember what you are trying to learn. The V&A process forces you to focus. Why? Because you are actively using the material. To change facts into mental images, you must focus - you have no choice. Creating mental images is a powerful way to focus the mind.
In addition, exposing yourself to the material over and over while creating images is repetition. If someone you meet tells you their name one time, you might or might not remember their name. But if they remind you during the conversation what their name is, you will remember their name more easily because you heard it more than once. (Most people we meet don’t help us out like that, though!) When creating your mental images, you naturally “repeat” the details until you get each image clear in your mind.
So the V&A technique boosts your memory for three reasons:
* Images are easier to remember than facts
* Creating images forces you to focus
* Reviewing your images is useful repetition
By the way, V&A is not time consuming – it saves time. Creating mental images does take a few moments. But if you practice a little each day, you will get very fast.
Think about this: how much time have you wasted repeating something over and over in the hope of remembering it, and then you forget it anyway? Use the V&A memory trick, and you will remember the information very well the first time. And it will stick.
How to Do It
So, how do you use the V&A memory technique? Let me explain using an example. This example is from science, but V&A is so basic it can be used to remember just about anything.
Let’s suppose your biochemistry teacher asks you to memorize the most common “nucleotides”, chemicals that are part of everyone’s DNA.
The teacher tells you there are five types of nucleotides: adenine, guanine, cytosine, uracil, and thymine.
Now, how can you remember this information for the exam? If you simply repeat the names of the nucleotides over and over, you might forget one or more of them in a short time.
The V&A trick is to create mental images and associate the images together in your head. Here are the steps for using the V&A technique:
1. Think of easy words or phrases that sound like the hard words.
Examples:
nucleotide = “nuclear tide”adenine = “add a knee”guanine = “gong knee”cytosine = “sight a stream”uracil = “you’re a sill”thymine = “thigh meat”
The easy words don’t have to sound exactly like the hard words. The easy words act as a reminder. You will automatically remember the hard words if you recall the easy ones. Trust me on this.
2. Now, think of a simple mental image for each easy word. Silly images are fine. Actually they are better, because silly things are easier to remember.
Try to see each image vividly in your mind.
Examples:
nuclear tide = nuclear bomb mushroom cloud exploding in ocean waves (not silly)add a knee = adding a knee to one of your legs, so that you have three knees (silly)gong knee = hit your knee, it sounds like a metal gong (musical instrument)sight a stream = a stream flowing in the distanceyou’re a sill = you are lying sideways under a big window – you are the window sillthigh meat = fried chicken, thigh piece
3. Now, associate the mental images to each other, in order.
Again, make sure to imagine the mental pictures clearly. Imagine the colors, shapes, sounds, and movement in your images. This will help the pictures stick in your mind.
nuclear tide -> add a knee: connect the “tide” in your nuclear tide image with the three knees image. Perhaps imagine yourself with three knees trying to wade through the tide at the beach.
add a knee -> gong knee = the word “knee” already connects these two. So, the image of you wading three-kneed through the tide could make you think of hitting your knee making it sound like a gong.
gong knee -> sight a stream = you’ve already used “knee” in two images. To prevent confusion, tie the “gong” to the sight a stream image. Your image of hitting your knee like a gong could make you think of you seeing a distant stream with hundreds of gongs floating down river.
sight a stream -> you’re a sill = now, tie “stream” to your sill image. As a separate image, imagine yourself as a window sill, and a stream is flowing through the window getting you all wet.
you're a sill -> thigh meat = now, create a separate image associating “sill” with a fried chicken thigh. Perhaps imagine someone closing a window onto a box of fried chicken. It makes a greasy mess, and one of the chicken thighs gets smushed on the sill.
4. That’s it. Now, review it. The teacher asks you to name the five nucleotides that make up DNA. See if you can do it by recalling the images in your mind. Start with your image of “nuclear tide”.
Let’s walk through it. The teacher says “nucleotide” or you see the word written on the test, and immediately your image of a mushroom cloud in the ocean tide (nuclear tide) comes to mind. Next, “tide” should remind you of your three-kneed self wading through the tide. You have an extra knee (“add a knee”), so the first nucleotide is adenine.
The three knees image makes you think of your “gong knee” image, so the second nucleotide is guanine. The gong knee reminds you of all the gongs floating down a distant stream in your sight (“sight a stream”), so the third nucleotide is cytosine.
Next, the stream reminds you of the window that a stream is flowing through, with you as the window sill (“you’re a sill”), so the next nucleotide is uracil. Finally, the window sill reminds you of a window closing on a box of fried chicken, with the fried chicken thigh (“thigh meat”) getting smashed – thymine.
It’s true, it took me a few moments to type this description of what you are seeing in your mind. But the mental process is actually very fast. The images literally flash one after the other in your mind’s eye, and you instantly know the answer.
Some scientists believe we never forget anything. Nine times out of ten, the reason we can’t remember is that we can’t find the information in our brains. It’s there, we just can’t get to it. We have not made it a habit to create the mental hooks – the images – that we need to grab and pull out the information.
That’s what I meant at the beginning about not using your brain in the right way. If you practice the V&A memory technique, you will get very good at creating the mental hooks for anything that you want to remember.
At first, it may seem like an artificial way to remember something. But remember, Visualization & Association is what the memory performers use – and it works. It’s actually a lot of fun, once you get the hang of it. It really taps into your creativity.

More about me :)
Just thought that since many of U dont't have a clue who I am, mayB it would be better to just say a few words:
1. Blogging since... TODAY :))
2. Was there any event, incident or anecdote in your life that pushed you to start blogging? Not really, just boredon, hyperactivity and an overall state of creativity.
3. Did you follow any blog before creating yours? Of course, how do U thik I got into this? :))
4. Do your family and friends know about your blog? If they dont't, they will soon enough - it's all over the place!
5. Favorite time of the day to write posts. Anytime after 9:00 PM.
6. Longest hiatus between posts. Dunno - mayB a week or so....
7. Have you set any goal about your blog? Anything you want to achieve with it?
I just wanna socialize and make new friends while having phun and enjoying myself.
8. Do you believe it has some kind of social function? DUH!
9. What would put an end to your blog? Till death do us apart :)) or boredom - pretty much the same 4 me
10. Do you have or consider having more than one blog? It just seems meaningless.
