Today, as I sat in front of my computer yet again, I took a look at my keyboard and realised how astoundingly grimy it was. Once a nice shade of greyish-white, has now turned into an unimaginable yellow-brown mix with patches of grime on many keys. Ok I shouldn't make it sound that disgusting but this is what happens when almost 4 years of usage everyday - msning, writing essays and gaming - takes it toil on a keyboard. I finally pushed myself to take out an old rag and some cheap household cleaner to get rid of 4 years of gunk. (Actually I did clean my keyboard a couple of years ago, but the results can hardly be seen now.)
As I got up close and personal with the keys, I noticed how badly damaged a couple of keys are. As an avid first-person shooter and action-adventure gamer, there are a few keys which are utilized very often, and also subjected to endless pounding due to increased adrenaline and excitement levels. My Alternate (Alt) key and Spacebar bear obvious signs of wear: a slight depression and blunt slits on the Alt key, and an almost perfect chamfer on the bottom edge of the spacebar. Other keys not spared my wrath are the W, A, S, D keys which are used for controlling the movement of the character. The lettering on these keys have almost faded off and the effects of corrosion can also be seen. Not to mention these keys are also the grimier of the lot.
If these are the stuff that's happening on the surface of my keyboard, I don't wanna know what's going on in between and under the keys.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. What better way to make your date's day early in the morning with a romantic sms? It's been scientifically proven that a sweet thoughtful sms can do wonders to melt the heart of your prospective date or sweetheart.
Not sure what to say? Fret not. I can helpch you.
Here are a couple of choice sms-es that are sure to ignite a spark in that little tender heart of your crush/loved-one/prey/locker-room chick/neighbour/teacher/etc.
Here's one for the honey who's majoring in chemistry, or that hot chick in the lab next door:
"Darling, it's been scientifically proven that sugar dissolves in water, so please don't go out in the rain, cos I can't afford to lose someone as sweet as you."
And for the budding engineer who's into politics as well:
"I was asked about Newton's law and I said I don't know. I was questioned on the current President of USA and I wasn't sure if it is Clinton or Bush. But when I was asked on who I love, the only answer I can think of, is you."
This will surely screw her mind up and you can be sure she'll be thinking about your sms the whole day:
"Darling, the more I think of you, the more I miss you. The more I miss you, the more I think of you. I love you."
And one more, for that cute catholic girl in church whom you always sit next to so u can hold her hand:
"You give me joy, you give me hope. You give me energy, which helps me cope. I love you darling, more than you love the Pope!"
Go ahead, try these out on the One That You Love. Good luck.
And may God Bless You if you do.

In a moment of rashness, I went and did something without expecting any fruitful outcome. But to my surprise, opportunity came knocking and I opened the door.
I just hope everything goes well.
