what the heck?

Heck is where people go who don't believe in Gosh.

i came across that while reading a Reader's Digest issue this morning. the brilliance of the phrase is simply amazing, so i decided to post it here.

i also read about the interesting reason behind the usage of the phrase "hands down". apparently, back in the day, the term "hands down" came from horse racing. a horse jockey usually slaps his horse to make it run faster. whenever a horse jockey is assured of the win, like if he is a mile away from his opponents, then the horse jockey would usually just keep his "hands down" and just cross the finish line in style. [ he's going to win hands down ] so now, when the term "hands down" is used, it is meant to say that something/someone is assured of something [ that was the best date i've ever had, hands down ]

spent the evening with fackers (my college barkada) for rj and yvette's birthday treat at Friuli. yum yum. then we stayed at Bo's Coffee along katipunan. it was fun to be there with them again. it triggered memories. fun memories. our streak of seeing each other at least once a month continues. yey.
