Mathematics.......
12.21.07 (9:57 pm) [edit]Ask any person who knows me so much, he will say that I love math and excel in that subject (I’m not boasting about it). It is my favorite subject. This is why my ambition when I was in elementary is to be a famous Mathematician. My love in Math is mainly because I am a lazy person. I don’t like to memorize names, dates, or principles. That is why I hate knowledge subjects such as science and social studies. I like the easy way, that I would not need to spend so much time remembering things to get a high mark on an exam and that I will be able to answer the exam and get a high score with just skills, and it is what math is. It is a skill subject. I am not saying that you don’t need to memorize on math, but you’ll only need to memorize the principles once and with practice, you’ll memorize it by heart which means you may not be able to state the exact words but you’ll be able to apply it in solving problems. Isn’t easy?
When I was thinking what I would give to Jestine for our Christmas party, I looked at her blog to see her wish list for Christmas. As I was running through her list, one of her entry took my attention and it was the American TV series “NUMB3RS”. I got curious to it because I just love numbers. I have supposed that it has something to do with math. So I was thinking since that day that how will it be able that math would be included in a TV series.
When my teacher and I were looking for DVDs, I saw the TV series being sold. So I asked him about the series, he told me a short synopsis of it. He told me that the series is about someone, who has been recruited for the FBI, is actually solving crimes with mathematics. So this makes me more interested to buy DVD of the series (which I eventually did two days after that incident).
I have just started to watch the series yesterday and I like it so much. My passion in math has been revived (though it was never lost). It really amazed me that much that I was even hoping that I would be as good as Charlie in math. I am already at episode 5. I am planning to finish 2 seasons during this Christmas vacation. So if you aren’t doing anything this vacation, I suggest that you try watching this series. If you hate math, you could also give it a try, and I’m sure that after watching it, you will somehow appreciate Mathematics.
P.S. Heroes and Prison break are also good TV series.

It's a nice tv show. I've been watching it since high school.
My classmates think I'm weird (somehow, but they're just joking, haha!) because I watch shows like CSI, Numbers, Dr. House etc. - TV shows that only their parents watch. haha!
I really enjoy watching these shows though I cannot find time to watch them anymore. Lots of things to do. hay..
