suit up

I never was a great fan of dressing up.

If I had choice, I would rather just wear jeans and a shirt. But I wore a suit today. (I know, right???)

year 2

My blog turns 2 today — and the timing’s perfect.

The theme of this blog would be changing. In two days, I will be heading to Columbus, Ohio for the actual start of the new chapter I have been raving about weeks ago.

For the next two years, I will be a graduate student. And I would have  A LOT in my hands. I hope I could still squeeze in updating this blog. But I most probably will.

Wish me luck!

fun graphs with heart

Graphs. I bet you never thought they can be fun. Graphs and charts are pretty much limited to work or school, right?

WRONG! For one, Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segal in How I Met Your Mother, CBS) has shown in the Right Place, Right Time episode (Ep 22, Season 4) how he uses these visual representation of data for work and fun. He created a pie chart of his favorite bars and bar chart of his favorite pies. (On a totally unrelated note, Season 5 starts Sept 21, 8 pm on CBS)

A great resource for fun charts (if you’ve got time to waste) is graphjam.com.

LOLed on this chart because I always read every language on the back of shampoo bottles, soap boxes, toothpaste tubes, anything you’ll find laying on the comfort room.

Many of the charts are really funny (see chance of keeping job if you’re wrong 75% of the time – a jab on weathermen). While some topics are trivial, some of these charts actually talk of serious topics – many we should address.

My bookshelf

Accountancy. Mathematics. Economics.

I’m no accountant. I am neither a mathematician nor an economist. But for the moment, my nose has been buried on books on these fields of study.

Why?
