Most Annoying Things

Here are the most annoying everyday situations, more annoying than the annoying orange:
Slow People

It's another busy day for you and you're already late for your work so you decided to buy coffee in a coffee shop instead intended to make things faster. Yet, when you arrive there, you find out there's a long line waiting for you. You don't have a choice but to fall in line. However, you realize the crew are going really slow and you started shouting and complaining about their service.

Traffic Jams

But that's not it, you are stuck on a traffic jam and you can't go back to where you came from because you are stuck between cars. There could be a lot of reasons for this traffic jams like road accidents, highway repairs and slow moving vehicles driven by oldies. Luckily, there was an ambulance who inserted and you sneakily followed it, acting like you were with the person in it.

People Acting Like Jerks

Do you know the bystander effect where a person intentionally do not help another person who maybe in trouble or in danger because he or she believe someone else will help him or instead. There are a lot of them in your workplace, lots of them. They only think for themselves, they don't think about their co-workers and they don't mind if you get fired. It means less competition for them.

Someone tells you what to do, ALWAYS

You already had enough, your mother nagging about your hair, your clothes and your room, also your boss making you do this and that, Co-workers telling you that what you are doing and wrong and do those following things you don't like. Sometimes, we are stubborn.

Here are the honorable mention


  1. When you've watched three-fourths of  an episode of your favorite television series and with the last final moments, it suddenly stopped working. You try to reload and closing commercial again and again but it won't just load.
  2. "You can keep this ad in 5 seconds" or you have to wait 30 seconds to watch the video.
  3. "Can you do me a favor"

Embarrassing Things




You were in a hurry because you needed to use the bathroom or cubicle and you forgot that there was someone inside using it. You might have forgotten to knock because you were busy looking at your phone and looking at funny memes. You're lucky if it wasn't your boss, Or else, you'll get fired eventually. It's actually better than being embarrassed everyday walking next to him.

Everyone has been into embarrassing moments, some of us might have experienced it while they were alone or worst, with a common crowd. Here are the most embarrassing and interesting things most people have done already that you might relate to.



We sometimes enjoy arguing or getting really into a conversation that you might have just sprayed saliva on someone's face. ( #showeralert). You're lucky if you're the only one who noticed that teeny weeny drop of saliva on their food with billions of bacteria and viruses from your moth. Ew! You just ignore it and act like nothing happened or blame rain, when you are indoors.

People can be forgetful but it's awkward if you can't identify the person you met not just once, not twice but more than that. This is pretty much common in the internet (where they use codenames as their screen names) and also in gatherings and stuff. "Heeeeeey...Jackie""My name is not Jackie. It's Jesse"."Oh, I know, I was just messing with you, trying to know if you still remember your name. You know, people getting forgetful nowadays, even forgetting their own names""Riiiight".

All your friends, Linda, Macy, Jeff, Mark and Stacy were all invited to a party and you were the only one left out. Worst, the party host was closest to you of all those people. And you're just sitting their, with your eyes popping out and your heart exploding with jealousy, watching your friends post pictures having a good time partying, making you feel really bad.

Opening Lines



The opening of your speeches, books, movies are very important to be able to attract your listener's eyes and ears to you. These are the kinds of lines that will not just open the minds of the audience but also their closed hearts. Here are the most interesting opening lines personally picked for your entertainment and study purposes.  


This first opening line came from a TED talk:

"Okay, now I don’t want to alarm anybody in this room, but it’s just come to my attention that the person to your right is a liar. (Laughter) Also, the person to your left is a liar. Also the person sitting in your very seats is a liar. We’re all liars. What I’m going to do today is I’m going to show you what the research says about why we’re all liars, how you can become a liespotter and why you might want to go the extra mile and go from liespotting to truth seeking, and ultimately to trust building."

Patrick Henry was a speaker in a colonist assembled held at the Virginia convention. It was an argument whether to move forces against the British. Here is his opening speech:

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! — I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities was really popular during the year of 1859. Here is a great line from his book:

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair."





Miracles of Jesus



As we celebrate Christmas, we also appreciate the birth of Jesus. Let's bring down interesting facts of the miracles that he made that were mentioned in the bible in a chronological order.


About 2, 000 years ago, Jesus was born to a woman named Mary who was living in Jerusalem. Mary never had sexual intercourse with anyone and it was a sin to do that before marriage. Although, God conceived His son into the womb of the Virgin Mary.

The first miracle that Jesus made by himself was when he changed the water to wine in a wedding he and her mother attended. Because there were no more wine, her mother asked her if he can change the water to wine. He was an obedient son and changed six stone jars of water to wine completely.

There were a lot of miracles that were mentioned involving fish catching. And one of them was when he ordered Simon Peter to put down the net on the deep water infront of all other witnesses. He worked hard all day and didn't had a good catch but this time, he was able to catch a lot of them in one net.

Healing is a very popular miracle of Jesus. However, he didn't just heal people but wake them up from the dead. A dead child was carried back to him and her mother was weeping asking him to bring him back. He just touched the bier and the dead man stood up like nothing happened.

Jesus and his disciples were traveling through a lake with a boat when a storm emerges. His disciples were too afraid that they awoke Jesus from his sleep. He asked them why they were afraid and just a motion of his two hands, the clouds separated breaking the storm and they could see the sun again.
