Euphemism




Aug 28, 2005
Good interview... thanks Chew

Found this on Chew's website.
Loved the way Bono converged both aspects of God in the Old Testament and New Testament.
Really poetic, really lucid.
Read it.
Cheers Bono.


love,

Euphemism..

The substitution of a mild or less negative word or phrase for a harsh or blunt one, as in the use of "pass away" instead of "die." The basic psychology of euphemistic language is the desire to put something bad or embarrassing in a positive (or at least neutral light). Thus many terms referring to death, sex, crime, and excremental functions are euphemisms.

Okay.. got that from here (haha, give credit where credit is due..)

A little about us..

da tabster (nope, not a rip off from 'DA' vinci code..)
the epitome of cool..

sherylogy
usually the phrase goes..
I think, therefore I am.
and for some, it'll be..
I eat, therefore I am.
but for this one..
I eat.
would suffice..
*LOL*

seryndipity aka furunu
The art of finding something by looking for something else.. umm, wat she would term as "A Beautiful Coincidence"
hmm.. this one is.. a genius when it comes to art and design stuff.. leggy and pretty cool at times (NB: nowhere near tabster's level. of course..) a little slow in other ways *"u-get-wat-i-mean?" look, then nods sympathetically to furunu* but, we understand.. it's alrite..

mich
95 out of 100 for her graduation recital.. no one can refute the fact that this, ppl, is THE music prodigy of our time.. w00t!!

We are pretty different in nature.. except for the fact that we're all of the ♀ gender.. but, I think that we've got one thing in common, which is, we're all striving, in our own peculiar(at times) ways, to be the women(haha, scary term for me sometimes..) that God has pre-ordained for us to be.. we live, we fall, we overcome, we fall again, we continue trying anyway.. striving to be the best we can for His sake.. We love Him with as much of our hearts as we can, no matter what our theological nuances may be.. With each post, we're just trying to discover a little more about our God, what it means to be His child, wanting to be a little closer to Him, learning to love Him more and trust Him more..

Anyways.. this is only from my POV.. so yeah, i know it's a little biased, u may think.. but, trust me, tabster's the real deal for the word "cool"..
So, feel free to get to know us better thru this blog, or.. our others.. the links are as below..
