Confessions of a knowaholic
I don’t feel like being so active online right now, so I might as well just quit keeping up with stories from twitter, google+, tumblr and facebook.
But the thing is, I won’t..
Although there are so many sources of information, sometimes a very interesting post comes along. And the rest is all so-called philosophy and feeling-feeling crap..
Just need to filter out all those unnecessary tidbits of information and my feed of information will be more efficient.

Recently it came to my attention that the word “YOLO,” an acronym standing for “You Only Live Once,” has become popular with the kids (as in “Fine, I’ll do another shot - YOLO!”). I did some research and I found out that YOLO is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of hip 2012 lingo. Get ready to feel really old, because I had never heard of any of these, but apparently they’re being used everywhere:
YOLO: You Only Live Once
YOLOLO: You Only “LOL” Once
YOTROLOLOO: You Only “Trololo” Once
YOLOLO NOHOMO: You Only “LOL” Once, and I don’t mean that in the gay way
YOWO SOSOPOLOS: You Only Wear Orange So-So Polos
“You’ll never win the fashion competition. YOWO SOSOPOLOS.”
YOWO SOSOPOLOS SOHOMO: You Only Wear Orange So-So Polos, and I do mean that in a very gay way
“You’ll never win the fashion competition, sweetbuns. YOWO SOSOPOLOS SOHOMO.”
YOYOKO ONOSOCO: You’re Only Yoko Ono, So Chill Out
“You don’t have to create world peace by yourself. YOYOKO ONOSOCO.” (Must be spoken only to Yoko Ono)
YOHOHOHO BOSODOCOCOA: You Only “HoHoHo” But Once, So Drink Our Cocoa (Must be spoken only to Santa Claus)
YOLOMOFO HELLOMOTO: You Only Live Once, Motherfucker (Must be spoken only by Samuel L. Jackson in a Motorola commercial)
YOYOYO OSO YOYOSOLO OWO LOCO PO-PO: You Only Yo-Yo Once, So Yo-Yo Solo, Obviously Without Crazy Police Officers(via collegehumor)

Sports megastore
Recently, I found out about a sports megastore called Decathlon. It’s located near the Arena stadium in Amsterdam. The reason I’m writing this is that they’re the only sports store in Amsterdam selling a HUGE variety of sportsy stuff. They’re also the only store selling Yonex badmintonracket strings.
After read some reviews about this store, I found out that Decathlon has stores throughout the entire world, and they develop most brands themselves, which is why their prices, compared to other sports brands like Nike and Adidas etc, are so LOW, that I’m putting this store at the TOP of my list of stores to buy sports stuff at.
I still need to buy the following items:
- Shoes for jogging outside;
- Badminton shoes (because I lost my old pair of shoes and that’s a different story);
Oh that’s pretty much it. I’ll think of some more stuff to buy at Decathlon, but for now, my search for the best sports store has ended…

It came to my thought that we humans can never find out about the absolute truth about anything. Of course there are scientists performing experiments and research, hoping for a repetitive common phenomenon. But how would we know that it is absolutely true? We know that our perception is limited to what we can perceive, but what lies beyond that? We have synthesized equipment to perceive even further, but would it be absolute? My mind says no.

Today, when I was cycling, some girl cycled right past me, but a few seconds later I saw a male duck quacking from the side of the bicycle lane towards the lane. It turned out that a female duck was on the lane and the girl in front of me almost ran over the female duck„ without even trying to evade! wtf?! Luckily the female duck got out of the way just in time..
Since that moment I was wondering what the ducks were saying to eachother..
“GET OUT OF THE WAY, HUMANS ON WHEELS”
“DONT YOU WORRY I’LL BE FINE THEY USUALLY GET OUT OF THE WAY” -
The OTK championships are over and well…. my team and I lost ALL the games. We that bad huh. But at least we gained a lot of experience and that’s necessary. From now on we’re going to train harder and work on our (my) stamina, because I couldn’t last for more than 3 hits or so per rally.
Unfortunately, a team member said he wants to quit the team and return to being a recreational player. No biggie, we’re still with 5 of us (three ladies, two men).
But I’m glad the rest of my team is still motivated to stay in the team.

So this Open Team Championship tournament has been going on and my team and I just had our 8th out of 10 matches yesterday.
We lost all of them ….
I don’t know if it’s due to lack of motivation, because I notice that everyone in my team goes to training every time, or the depressing effect of losing everytime..
In the latter case, training won’t help anything. We need to win once in a while to keep morale at an affordable level.. What should I do, as team captain? -
We had a badminton match yesterday afternoon and we lost big time! 0-8 and all of them were 2-setters… Well it’s all about the experience :P
After the match we had lovely dinner at a teammate’s place.
And then we went to our saturday-evening badminton training.The day isn’t over yet! After the training, we decided to hang out at another teammate’s place and have a poker-night. We played cards the whole night, until 4:30 or so in the morning. It’s 5:30 and I’m home now… SLEEEPPP is required! zZz
