All About This New Category: Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics
I’ve been toying with the idea of creating this section for some time now. My blog is mostly about personal stuff. It is not surprising that my writings tend to dwell on life, death, and trying to deal with existence. I like to ponder about possibilities. But I also have this habit of reading about the affairs of the world.
Three years ago, I’ve taken a particular interest on the Syrian Civil War. As a Filipino, my knowledge about the Middle East is quite limited.

Day 1045: Sit down
How much do you sit down, during a typical day?

When I am not sitting down, I am often up and walking around, thank goodness.
Yesterday, I sat down in my car and drove to East Boston to sit down in some chairs for my new office, which sits in Newton, Massachusetts. I want chairs that are (1) comfortable for people to sit down in and (2) easily storable, so other therapists can sit down in that office and use it when I’m not there.

The chairs I purchased yesterday for my new office — which are great for sitting down and for storing away — are sitting in one of…
