Is prank or practical joke good or bad?

We watch a lot of prank and practical jokes on TV and online video. No doubt it is good for a laugh. But if it is the case where the prank is on you, how will you feel? Do you think it is good to prank others? Usually when it comes to choosing your target for prank or practical jokes, we have to be careful because it might back fire. Boss, teacher, headmaster, police or politician might not be the suitable target for prank because you might be getting into trouble for doing so. But for some people, it’s a challenge. So now the question is should we encourage prank? Or should we punish those who love to prank others for fun?

Personally I think prank or practical joke is acceptable if it does not cause any serious physically and mentally damages. In fact I think acceptable level of prank is necessary because it helps to strengthen mentality. A lot of things happen in life unexpectedly without any sign of warning. If you are not mentally prepared, your heart and soul can be damage severely to a level which you are unable to get back to your normal regular life again. This can be seen clearly when disaster or accident happens.

The sense of always be prepare for unexpected prank and the ability to recover back to normal condition after hitting by a prank can help a person overcome and deal with unexpected events in life. Don’t you agree?

5 common mistakes when brewing coffee

The one thing that I hate most is not getting the taste of coffee that I’m expected when brewing the coffee myself. Have you ever had such experience before? I love coffee. I prefer to order my cup of coffee straight from the coffee shop. This way I can makes sure that the coffee taste good. This can be confirm by the smell of the coffee, the way the coffee are prepared, the equipment and of cause the number of customers waiting for the coffee they ordered. Although I need to pay a bit extra, wait for my turn and go through all the trouble to get to the coffee shop, it’s definitely worth it.

When I felt like brewing my own coffee at home, I tend to spend a lot of time choosing the coffee bean carefully. I try to brew the best cup of coffee from the comfort of my home but it usually never ends well. I suppose this is the exciting part. The challenge of brewing a nice cup of coffee at home can be very attractive and interesting. Unfortunately it is not as easy as it seems. This is why I seldom try it out especially when I’m busy with my work. It can be frustrating having to taste a bad cup of coffee.

Coffee is the greatest addiction ever?

Is coffee the greatest addiction ever? Honestly I don’t know. I usually have a cup of coffee in the morning but still I don’t find it addictive. Well, at least I don’t feel like the urge to have another cup of coffee. I like the smell and the taste of the coffee but never have problem going for months without coffee. Other drinks for example tea, coke or fruit juice makes my day too.

Expensive coffee might not taste good n Cheap coffee might not taste bad

Have you ever heard people complaining about the bad coffee sold in popular coffee franchise such as Coffee Bean or Starbucks? Have you ever heard your neighbors talking about the unique taste of coffee sold just right around the street? Well I’m sure most of us do. Does this prove that the price of coffee does not directly reflect the good quality taste of coffee?

I think this depends on individual as what kind of taste or coffee they like. It is the same like the food that we ate. Some people like western food and some people like Chinese food. So why expensive coffee might taste bad and cheap coffee might taste good? Remember the expensive coffee Luwak? A lot of people who went to Indonesia manage to purchase some of the coffee just to try it out. The world most expensive coffee shouldn’t taste bad. That’s what most of my friends thought. Unfortunately not one of them said the coffee taste good. My guess is that they brew the coffee themselves at home. As they are not coffee lovers, they don’t actually know the right way to brew a nice up of coffee. All they did was pour hot water into the pot together with coffee Luwak, filter it and drink. It is a normal process which most of us make for our morning coffee. And the taste is not as good as they expected. They even said that the coffee sold right around the corner of the street taste much better. I did ask if they tested the coffee before purchasing the coffee bean. They told me that it taste good in the shop when serve by the waitress and that is the reason why they bought it in the first place. My guess is they bought the good expensive coffee but did not consult about the correct method to brew the coffee. I suppose that is one of the reasons that the coffee did not taste as good as expected.

The next question is why the simple local coffee sold around the corner of the street taste good. My guess is the coffee has been sold for decades since we were young. The taste of the coffee already installed and planted into our memory. It is more like a taste of childhood memory which brings back the sense of old times. Plus the coffee has been brew and sold for millions of cups after so many years. Obviously a lot of tuning and improvement has been made. Little by little, day by day the coffee is brew towards perfection. Even the poorest quality of coffee can taste good if the right formula and combination is applied.

Returning to my first original blog

This is my first blog. Everything I did online started out from this initial blog. I tried lots of things and tested thousands of stuff. It is fun although most of my attempts are not successful. I get to know lots of interesting stuff which I never learn and experience before. Honestly I never study or research this much online for my blogs compare to my homework during my academic life. But my education from school did provide the foundation requires to research and study information and knowledge in order to explore the online world easily. I suppose you’ll never know the usefulness of things that you’ve learned until you needed them.

I stop posting in this blog for at least couple of years. I suppose I was getting bored and running out of ideas what to write or blog. I began to try out other things online and left this blog unattended for some time. I totally forgot about this blog until I felt the urge to blog again. Well, a place to voice out my opinion or thought is much more appropriate. Actually I never did stop blogging. I own and manage other blogs too but those are not the platform I choose to voice out the things that are running freely in my mind. This is the only blog that I choose to throw in all the rubbish created in my mind. Other blogs that I created have specific topic and purpose. I try not to mix them all up together.

Why I decided to write again in this blog? Well, I suppose I need a place which I can express myself freely. It feels great to do so. I felt like holding my breath when I don’t have a place to write what I think. Previously I set a lot of rules and style on how I should post in this blog. From now on I will just blog freely as I like. I suppose this blog will become a place for me to release my tension, pressure and ease my mind.
