Ever notice this text?
This is called the Lorem Ipsum..
if you checked on Wikipedia, it basically tells you that Lorem Ipsum is "filler text" that people usually used in presenting a text layout or document visual presentation. The idea is to put something - filler text - thats totally random so that the reader do not being distracted by the content of the text itself.. instead just focusing on the layout..
Isn't it cool?

I just realised about this "filler text" Lorem Ipsum lately..
In fact, this website here gives a lil more insight.. it says that Lorem Ipsum has been the standard "dummy" text from around 1500's.. and again, its been used world widely..
It also says that Lorem Ipsum is not a complete random text, but.. how many of you knows the meaning of this text? Unless ur Italian, ofcourse..
Give me wonder, were Italian used the same filler text when they're developing a website or any other kind of task involving visual presentation..

PS. Oh yay, I just did a phone interview, and they asked me to come for a face to face interview tomorrow.. Wish me luck..
