Details of movies

577) Under "favorite movies" of "my complete profile", I would have liked to have more space for talk about some plans, some sequences, some details that I like.

Touting

560) Telephone calls and spam advertising put me in a mood bloodthirsty.

561) So, here’s what I will to do:

562) Given the magnitude and persistence of the phenomenon, I decided to exploit it.

563) From today I will translate all the spams (the majority are in English).

564) In the same way, when I will receive an advertising phone call, I will take advantage to put into practice my oral English.

565) I will respond with my catastrophic English while stating that my language is Tagalog.

566) There is no doubt that this will be an excellent workout.

567) So here right away the first spam (received just a moment ago) : « Things women like about men ».

568) I tried to translate this spam with «Google translation», but I am discouraged, I get an incoherent sentence : « Choses femmes comme sur les hommes ».

569) But I suppose that means: "Ce que les femmes aiment chez les hommes", or something of its kind.

555) Neither the expression of an obsessive compulsive disorder.

556) I have seen and experienced more than once it.

557) Indeed, although discreet, the phenomenon exists.

558) The psychopaths, the pyromaniacs, the kleptomaniacs, the roadhogs, the alcoholics criminals would pass in the act more often when the moon grows than when it decreases.

559) But, to tell the truth, I feel quite alone with these finding.

List of shoppings

540) I didn't know that "kébab" was an English word.

541) Until now I was convinced that it was a Turkish word.

542) Yesterday afternoon, at the supermarket, I found a piece of paper with à list of foods that I don't eat never (except cheese).

543) I explain why:

544) When I was a kid - I had about four years-, I spent an entire afternoon to play with a baby pig.

545) The next morning I was awakened by cries of terror.

546) It was my game companion that was in the process of make cut the throat.

547) The sight and smell of his blood, his afraid, his cries, the show of its bodies scattered and his agony still haunt me.

548) That's undoubtedly why I became a vegetarian.
