Today, it’s the importance of having an exit alarm and deviled eggs.

But more importantly, deviled eggs.

I don’t know why I never bothered to look up what deviled eggs exactly are when I’ve heard the term several times before. I always just assumed they were, I don’t know, spicy eggs. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Today, I finally googled it and boy, do deviled eggs look GLORIOUS. My mouth waters just looking at photos! They seem pretty easy to make, according to the steps and recipes I found here so I’m definitely going to try cooking/making them. I can’t wait!

From The New York Times’s The Minimalist: Summer Express: 101 Simple Meals Ready in 10 Minutes or Less. I’m not much of a cook so this is a really nice read for me. Quick, easy, and healthy meals.

Asylum’s Smart Women Are Bigger Drinkers. Ha ha ha. Hear that, dad? Mom? Boyfriend? I’m kidding, I’m not entirely sold on this new study/phenomenon.

There are two explanations the researchers offered for this phenomenon. One is that brainy women often delay motherhood, giving them more time to develop a social life based on alcohol consumption; the other is that higher-achieving females are more likely to work in male-dominated fields, which have cultures that are heavy on drinking.

Asylum’s You Got Us, Internet— Our April Fools’ Day Web Prank Roundup. Just a list of e-tomfoolery that took place last Tuesday. Tuesday was a holiday here and I spent most of it offline (in my couch watching CSI, what else is new?) so I missed out on the fun. Did any of you fall for any internet pranks?

J’s list of Best Fashion Trends for Summer 2010: hot pants, wedges, blazers, and florals. Just this morning, I cut up an old pair of jeans and turned it into a pair of super short shorts. I’ve also given my pumps a rest in favor of wedges (much easier to walk in). Florals (especially granny florals) are already a favorite. Unfortunately, it’s too hot in the Philippines for blazers (or clothes, for that matter). I don’t know why I’m saying all this haha.

What is the best acne cream? LOLOLOLOLOL. The summer heat is doing funny stuff to my skin, making it super oily (I have normal skin). I keep breaking out! I bought a bar of acne soap yesterday (Defensil. I picked it out because they used the Diavlo typeface on the packaging). I hope it takes care of my forehead zits.

Sleeptrip’s 300 Love Letters. The entire Sleeptrip site, really. Not gonna lie: it appeals to a sentimental side of me.

When a person I haven’t the slightest clue about sends me a message on Facebook saying they find me a “cool” or “interesting” “girl” or “person” and asks to be added as a friend, their message is automatically ignored. Not to be a bitch but just because we have a handful of mutual friends or because we grew up in the same town, it doesn’t mean I’m going to add you. I’m sorry I can’t be your Facebook friend and all, nothing personal, it’s just the way it is.

What I really can’t stand is after I ignore these people, they still persist. A follow up message, a poke. I don’t know you at all, you don’t know me, being part of each other’s list of Facebook friends won’t magically turn us into friends friends, I don’t want to be your friend (and after reading this, you probably won’t want to be my friend, too), you look like you have neck acne, and your hair is ugly. Go away.

PS: STOP POKING ME.

PPS: Online friends who are adding me, please don’t be offended if I haven’t accepted your friend requests. I have 262 at the moment and I’m too lazy to go through them, to be honest.

But first, proof that I did pick the winners randomly!:

114 comments, two trackbacks, and duplicate comments (I told you guys comments were moderated haha) were removed. Your comment number is your “raffle entry” number hrhrhrhr.

Let’s go, randomizer!

Comments numbers 28 and 96 win. Congratulations, you are the winRARs winners!

I will be emailing you two shortly for details on how to claim your tickets. I won’t be the one giving them to you though it’d be cute if we bumped into each other while claiming our tickets. I babble. Have fun on Saturday and thanks for joining everyone. And thank you, BlogBank!
