How to pass a day without talking

In one episode of Adventure Time, pals Finn and Jake try to pass the day by not talking. I wonder what's the meaning of this but hey, I wanna do this one day so I can give my family a peace of their mind without my disturbing voices. So here are the top five ways to pass a day without talking.

Number 1: The Sign Language - Sign language is a common way of communication for deaf people but if you're not and if you're...well, talking. It might be best to learn sign language before initiating a day without talking. Mastering sign language by yourself can be a lot more tricky but with practice makes perfect. Be careful though, most of your friends and family don't know what you're doing.

Number 2: Stack lots of paper! - Like Finn and Jake, best to stack papers with words and when the time comes, you'll know when you're ready because sometimes, they might want to reply you with something. If unprepared, someone's going to be disappointed.

Number 3: The whiteboard and marker trick - If papers are wasteful and if you want to save some papers, best to have a whiteboard that you can carry and a marker. Just be sure that the marker is not permanent or else you can't remove it and you have to wait for several days to remove it. According to Brainiac, a permanent marker is permanent for about 6 days or so and using one of these is not recommended.

Number 4: Use the speech function from your computer! - For Windows users, try using the Narrator function or if you're an iPhone user, use the smartphone's VoiceOver. Your friends and family can't tell if the computer talks about...well, whatever.

Number 5: The Stephen Hawking approach! - If you truly idolize Stephen Hawking, you want to be like him too.

These are the top five ways to pass a day without talking. Just be careful though...



If your friends and family, especially a computer one, know that you're not talking, they'll know it's not you or for worse, some bikini babes will attack you until you talk.

The 2013-2014 Seattle Auto Show

From October 16 to 20, 2013, the annual Seattle Auto Show returns at CenturyLink Field and I am an avid annual visitor to this once a year event because of all the new cars featured on this venue. Here are some of the highlights of this year's show...



This is me, hanging around with the brand-new sportscar from Jaguar, the F-Type. The V6 model of the F-Type is more of a best choice for this car because...hey, you wish for this car to be more enjoyable rather than getting an overdose of too much power. It's still worth a beauty to drive as a grand tourer.



There's me sitting near the brand new Range Rover.



A sneak peek of a new 2014 Nissan Rogue, which is known known to be the brand-new X-TRAIL crossover...



A brand-new Aston Martin Vanquish was featured on this year's show...



A close encounter with the all new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class...



Me hanging around in the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro...



Washingtonians can't get enough with the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray...

\

Infiniti's new Q50 sport sedan was featured and yes, it's no longer a Skyline because of the report that Nissan will start selling the Infiniti Q50 in Japan this winter...



New Mazda 6 or Atenza is featured and whoa, I love this medium executive sedan because of its SKYACTIV Technology, KODO design, and the fact that it won the World Design Car of the Year against the Aston Martin Vanquish and the Jaguar F-Type.



The new generation Mazda 3 or Axela was displayed for the first time at this event.



Checking out the brand new 2014 Lexus IS in F-Sport trim



Are you ready kids? Toyota's H_ghl_nd_r (vowels blocked to avoid search query hijinks) Spongebob Concept on display!

And yes. There's so much more. I have more pics from this venue and you can check them out at my Facebook page.

Oh yeah, my YouTube playlist highlighting some of the new cars featured...



Well, that concludes my experience at this year's Seattle Auto Show. Hopefully, next year will be a lot better because hopefully, they'll be featuring the new Golf, the new Fit, the K900 (K9 in Korea), new Escalade, and whatever new models coming next year.

Toying around with Jake, Doc, and Sofia plushies

Now, here's something I can guarantee; I can guarantee that someone who reads this has a sibling or has a wife or their relatives had little kids under the age of six want to watch Disney Junior on their TVs. You did. I know you did. You let the little kids watching Disney Junior for long hours and when suddenly, most of the songs heard from the shows the kids watching stuck on your head and try and try memorizing it for the fun of it.

Here in this blog, I never do the growing up kind of thing. When we have kids, which in case my big sis has a baby boy, it's worth the hassle. When you see kids watching Disney Junior, you're feel free to be with them even though they're done for General Patronage's sake. However, I'm not talking about the whole "songs stuck in my head" stories...

I'm here because a couple of weeks ago, I bought our baby boy some plush toys of his favorite Disney Junior idols. I saw my big sis Elise let her baby Irvine watching some Disney Junior shows like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Doc McStuffins, and Sofia the First. She did, I know she did but this is too much and now, most of the songs from those Disney Junior songs really stuck in my frontal lobes. Anyway, look what I bought for our baby boy...

It's Jake! From Jake and the Neverland Pirates!

Yes, it maybe a plush toy of Jake but overall, it still looks like him from the show our baby boy enjoyed a lot. Since our baby boy Irvine enjoyed watching this show so much, he really really likes it. Pirates is what little boys love to play as and that character really suits him quite well.

Okay, since I noticed that our baby boy Irvine watching some girly cartoons like Doc and Sofia, I bought along plush toys of Doc McStuffins and Sofia themselves!

Ignore that, they still look like them but hey, having plush toys of your favorite Disney Junior characters sounds fun if you have kids under the age of six.

A brave pirate, a toy doctor, and a princess-in-training, now that's what I called a holy trinity. Wow, Disney sure knows that their image isn't just all about Mickey Mouse after all...

See how our baby boy's enjoying with his DJ faves...

Oh! Oh! He's enjoying it! Wow, I never blogged something like this before...
