Happy New Year-2009

Chatting and Facebook-ing

Parents are very much worried about their children spending their time on chatting, Facebook-ing etc. But a new study has revealed that children are picking up basic social and technical skills while working online.
Researchers have found that social network sites, online games, video-sharing sites and gadgets such as mobile phones help kids remain in constant touch with their social circle.
They found that most young people almost always associate with people they already know in their offline lives through school or sports, but cell phones, instant messaging and social network sites such as MySpace and Facebook allow them to be in nearly constant touch.
Thus parents don’t want to worry anymore about these matters. They can stay cool in their home and watch their kids chatting in online…

In India, a new car has been introduced by the Hyundai motors called i 20. i 20 said to be an improved version of i10 with more space and more powerful engine.

Chinese hackers - 7yrs Jail

Hackers who steal data or manipulate large number of computers may be jailed for up to seven years, according to a proposed amendment to the Chinese Criminal Law. The penalties will also be applicable to those who offer software or tools for hacking to any intruder. The existing law offers punishment only for intruding into networks of governments, national defense or leading science sectors; or altering the functions of personal computer systems. However, the amended law will be the first legal tool to curb increasing data theft from civil-use computers in China.

$1,000 cash bonus replaced with G1 phone

Google's employees will not be getting the usual cash bonus of 1,000 dollars this Christmas, for the Internet search engine giant has decided to give them a version of its new mobile phone G1 instead. The customized G1 devices will be given to all permanent Google employees in the United States, Western and Central Europe, Canada, Australia, Singapore and Japan, covering about 85 per cent of its 20,123 global staff. However, since the G1 cannot be shipped to other parts of the world due to legal reasons, the company's staff elsewhere would be receiving 400 dollars instead. The company had launched this phone in October this year to compete with Apple's iPhone. It runs on Android, Google's own mobile operating system. "The holiday bonus is a Google tradition - it's a great way to thank everyone for their hard work. In the past, we've done this in cash. This year, we've decided to give Googlers a different kind of present - a Dream phone," Time Online quoted the company as telling its staff via an e-mail.

G1 received a lukewarm response when it was first unveiled, with some calling it "an unattractive and uninspiring piece of plastic".The company's e-mail calls on its staff to test the phone in-house. "Some of you will of course be wondering why we decided to change from a cash bonus to the Dream phone," the e-mail reads.

"Googlers globally have been asking for the Dream phone and we're looking forward to seeing all the things that you do with them. This is a chance for us to once again dogfood (a term used for testing) a product and make it even better!" it continues.

The e-mail goes on to finish on an upbeat note: "Thank you for all that you do to make Google the company that it is. We hope that you will enjoy using your Dream phone in 2009 and have a very happy holiday!"

First day-night Test match

Australia is almost certain to make history in November 2009 by hosting cricket's first day-night Test match. Australia and Pakistan will become the first teams to clash in a Test match under lights, the Daily Telegraph reported. Cricket Australia chose the Adelaide Oval match next November and will seek ICC approval. The CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) is also being asked to help design a special ball for cricket's most radical move in 30 years.
Cricket Australia has proposed the Test to start from 2 p.m., following the usual timeslot of regular one-day internationals played under lights. Broadcaster Channel Nine has also thrown its support behind the new concept. The match will be staged in one of the last weeks of the 2009 TV ratings year. CA chief executive James Sutherland said that the move was inevitable, adding: "Test cricket is our premium form of the game so why (not) play it at a time when most people can watch it?
"There's no doubt it will happen - people can go after work and it's a cooler time of the day for spectators and fans. Look at the Olympics, the NRL and the AFL and how much of it is played at night these days because it's a more convenient time for viewers and fans," he said. A suitable ball is a sticking point, but CA is committed to solving the issue by November. "The white ball for one-day cricket that lasts 50 overs is not suitable," Sutherland said.
And like the one-day game and Twenty20 cricket, a night Test is sure to spark debate among traditionalists.

Decided to quit...

Hi dear co authors... Now i'm going to tell you a sad news about our blog. Since there is no update in our blog, i planned to drop the co authors idea. And also, i had lost my interest in blogging. So i decided to handle this blog to my brother, who is handling more than 5 blogs. Selerines world is his main blog. So thanks for all the co authors who joined my hand during this short journey. Thank you...

SO Election Day.....

Election Day for the next president of the united states is tomorrow.
I am so ready for tomorrow night when they announce the next president.
Tension is running high and I have officially stopped being friends with some people over politics.
That is completely crazy to me. But then again, I'm probably a crazy person to them too.
According to the polls, the projected winner of the 2008 election is Barack Obama! If he does not win, this country will have officially pissed me off and when I graduate I want to move to Canada, seriously.

This is a video I found on Youtube. I really didnt think people still had this mindset, but apparently they do.

May the best of luck be with Barack Obama

My Love Affair with Motivational Posters...

One of my favorite things to do when I'm online perusing the web is to take photos of a humerous (or sometimes serious) nature and give them captions in the form of motivational posters...I shell a new one out every Monday on my blog and I thought I might share some of my favorite creations with you guys...

This is a oldie but a goodie...it's also this week's showcase for the RPG Carnival...

I dressed up as the communist party for Halloween one year...I made way too many Yakov Smirnoff jokes that night...

Too often would folks photoshop Admiral Akbar into this one...

...

Oh, the irony...

Horror Movie

Thank you - read on to find out what is it...

A young man learns what's most important in life from the guy next door.

It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.

Over the phone, his mother told him, 'Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.'

Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.

'Jack, did you hear me?'

'Oh sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It's been so long since I thought of him. I'm sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,' Jack said.

'Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were doing. He'd reminisce about the many days you spent over 'his side of the fence' as he put it,' Mom told him.

'I loved that old house he lived in,' Jack said.

'You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man's influence in your life,' she said.

'He's the one who taught me carpentry,' he said. 'I wouldn't be in this business if it weren't for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important... Mom, I'll be there for the funeral,' Jack said.

As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.

The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time. Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and time. The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture....Jack stopped suddenly.

'What's wrong, Jack?' his Mom asked.

'The box is gone,' he said.

'What box?' Mom asked.

'There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was the thing I value most,' Jack said. It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.

'Now I'll never know what was so valuable to him,' Jack said. 'I better get some sleep. I have an early flight home, Mom.'

It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died. Returning home from work one day, Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. 'Signature required on a package. No one at home. Please stop by the main post office within the next three days,' the note read.

Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. The small box was old and looked like it had been mailed a hundred years ago. The handwriting was difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention. 'Mr. Harold Belser' it read.

Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside. 'Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It's the thing I
valued most in my life.'

A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, as tears filling his eyes,! Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover.
Inside he found these words engraved: 'Jack, Thanks for your TIME! - Harold Belser.'

'The thing he valued most...was...my time.'

Jack held the watch for a few minutes then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days. 'Why, sir?' Janet, his assistant asked.

'I need some time to spend with my son,' he said. 'Oh, by the way, Janet... Thanks for your time!'

'Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away,'

Think about this. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.


Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.


You mean the world to someone.


If not for you, someone may not be living.


You are special and unique.


When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you trust God to do what's best, and wait on His time, sooner or later, you willget it or something better.


When you make the biggest mistake ever,something good can still come from it.


When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look; you most likely turned your back on the world.


Someone that you don't even know exist, loves you.


Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.


Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know and you'll both be happy.


If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.


If you send this letter to all the people you care about, you will certainly brighten someone's day and might change their perspective on life... for the better.

To everyone I sent this: 'Really thank you for your time.

A Reason, A Season or A Lifetime

A Reason, A Season or A Lifetime

Here goes:

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person..

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.

They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support,to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.

They may seem like a godsend and they are.

They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die.

Sometimes they walk away!

Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.

The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.

They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.

They may teach you something you have never done.

They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.

Believe it, it is real but only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.

Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime.

Will I Be Missed?

My 1 week break has come to an end. I am going back to my campus today. Sigh. I hate to leave home. I wish my uni is at my hometown so that I don't have to be away from my family, spend on air tickets and of course be loved all the time. ;)

My Eid break has been great. I love every single moment of it. Spending time with my bestie, road trip with my small family, house cleaning with my brothers and stuff like that. I really miss these moments when I am in Kuching.

So I am planning to leave my modem behind as my final exams starts end of this month. I won't be blogging that much so please dont miss me too much yah! *wink* I will update u guys with things that I'm going through daily along with pictures. I just have to bear with my uni's wireless internet connection. Blergh.

Greetings Lovely's

I haven't posted much recently because of school and exams, but I am done with that for a week or so. Recently a gossip website has sweep through my campus, and is all the rage. Juicycampus.com allows anonymous postings. Some are in good spirit but others seem really hurtful, and I feel bad for those who 'not so clean' reputation is being broadcast online for anyone to see. I'm in my 3rd year of college and I keep to myself. I have a pretty close network of friends that I call my family. I may have the reputation of a wild child with them, but that's ok. On campus I am probably most noted for my chemistry genius lol and my tattoo/piercing addiction. SOOOO i decided I should share my tattoo's and piercings, since I love them so. I doubt that you all care about what I know about chemistry! Here's a List of what I have in order of when I got them =] If blogger acts right, I will add pictures.

1. 6 lobe
2. navel*
   
3. cartilage ear (left)
   
4. ankh (Left waistline)
5. monroe (left side)*
6. tongue
7. surface (above navel)*
8. bottom lip (left side) labret
9. bottom navel
10. rook (left)
11. serotonin (upper right back)
12. fleur de Lis (lower back)
13. nipple 1 (left barbell)
14. nipple 2 (right loopy loop)

Happy Eid Al-Fitr

I would like to wish the muslims all over the world a very happy Eid Al-Fitr!

Love,
-izza-

Love from Miri. ;)

First of all I would like to thank Monterines for choosing me as Blogger Of The Month. I feel honored. Thank u dude! I am sure the other co-authors are far better than I am. Maybe I have a lot more free time than u guys here. So thats why I got to blog about my daily life. *smiles*

So if u are following my blog, u will know that I am currently in my hometown for a week break. For the past few days I've been so busy with the Eid preparation. Lucky for me I got 3 brothers to rely on. *grins* My younger brother helped me a lot and that makes me love him to bits! He has always been helpful to his only sister.

And if u have been reading my blog, u'll know that I have met my Oko for the second time this year. It's very hard to meet up with her due to my studies. I am not studying at my hometown and she lives in the village, faaaaaaaaar from my hometown so she seldoms come to Miri.

My Oko.

Yep, yep.. Her ears are long. Thats one of their culture. I am a mix of Malay and Kenyah. Mom is from the Kenyah tribe. They can only be found in Sarawak, Malaysia. If you got the chance to come to Sarawak one day, I'll find time to show u guys around aight.

In my village, we still live in long houses. The long houses are super cool and I love, love it! There are more than 15 families living in the long house and they live peacefully. I especially love it when its Christmas! On Christmas Eve, everyone will gather at the long house verandah along with foods and drinks.

I dont have any pic of my long house but I have some pictures of long house taken when I was holiday-ing with my friends. Yep, instead of staying in hotels we checked in into a longhouse. How cool is that?

But since this long house is for business/tourism purpose, it is not as long/big as the ones u may found in the villages. But roughly this is how it looks like.

Breathtaking...

the stairs are unique

beautiful scenery

rooms

So what do u think of long houses now? Cool right?

PR Updated on 27, sep, 2008

Hi friends, one important and joyful news to all of them, who own a blog. All blog's Pagerank are now updated by google. One of my blog had got 2 PR. So check your blog PR now by using this link. But this will be a bad news for those who had lost there PR during this update. Don't feel about that, we can regain it in google's next PR update.
I say sorry to my fellow co-authors for not updating the blog because i was busy with my model exams. But now i'm back to the form and will update the blog regularly. Bye friends... See you people in my next post.

Holla!

Holla! *high five*

Sorry for the lack of update! I've been very very busy lately. I hope everyone is doin fine! Well, if u have been reading my blog for the past few days, u guys should know how excited I am to be back to my hometown.....TODAY!

I will be back for a short holiday. The Muslims are goin to celebrate Eid ul-Fitr in less than one week. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the fasting of Ramadhan.

I usually feel excited when it comes to celebrating Eid. My relatives will come and gather at my grandparents' house. Each would bring something. It may be cookies, cakes, carbonated drinks, curry, etc.

My beloved grandfather passed away just few months ago and I still feel the sadness. This year's Eid is goin to be different without him. I dont feel the excitement. I dont even have a new pair of baju kurung. Mom asked me to make a new pair, but I declined. I dont have the heart to celebrate Eid this year.

So since I don't have a new pair of baju kurung, I will be wearing my mom's. Blergh.

Teachers...

Hey all! I would like to introduce my 2 wonderful teachers today. They are the Mr Wong (old guy in the middle) and Mr Suhaimi (The shades guy).

Mr Wong is a Mathematics teacher and Mr Suhaimi is a Full Humanities teacher. They both have helped me a lot throughout this year. I believe that being a teacher is a tough job if your class is totally inattentive everytime. But they always have to bear with it as it is their job after all. Nevertheless, they have shown me lots of care, taught me lots of new things and life skills and lessons to make me a better person and leader.

Teachers are somebody needed in everyone's life, no one is without a teacher. Anyone can be a teacher, what diferentiates some from others is the amount of effort they have put into teaching their students. I hope that all of you should try and show your appreciation to all your teachers, thank them for imparting their knowledge to you, as they are also human beings like us. People with feelings and a heart, everyone likes to feel needed. Thats what we should do! to make our teachers feel that they are needed by us.

Here's a moto from my School which is held by all the Patrician teachers:
POTEST QUI VULT - which means HE WHO WILLS, CAN!

Happy blogging! :)

The Only Thing Better Than Hitler On Ice

So...this is still just a rudimentary idea thus far and is not fully developed...let me know if you think I should give it a little more juice and actually produce it...

IDEA FOR A SHORT FILM: "Drowning Hitler"

Two people debate whether or not the world would be a better place if Hitler hadn't started WWII and exterminated millions of Jews...one is the uncorrupted Paladin-type of person while the other takes a more neutral position saying we can't be sure of what will happen if we change things...butterflies and earthquakes and such...

Enter Corn..."HAI GUYZ! I BUILT A TIME MUSHEEN! LET'S FUCK WITH STUFF!"...and so they go to solve the debate...

They appear in 1912, Germany...Li'l Hitler is taking a relaxing stroll by a riverbank...they argue briefly over who should do it...

RPS ensues...

Righteousy McPaladin is the lucky winner...he kicks Hitler into the river and proceeds to drown the bastard...sobbing while he does it (after all, it's a little kid)...they go back to the future...

*maniacal cackling*

Drastic changes have occured (as punctuated by the line "What the fuck happened?")

A narrator comes on and explains the impact of Hitler's demise including, but not limited to, the following...POLAND, THE SLEEPING GIANT, ROSE UP IN 1934 AND ENSLAVED THE REST OF HUMANITY...THEY CAPTURED EINSTEIN AND DEVELOPED THE H-BOMB, THUS SEALING THEIR POSITION AS THE SUPREME RACE...THEY GENETICALLY ENGINEER THEMSELVES TO HAVE 18'S IN ALL STATS AND DEVELOP TRIANGULAR UNIFORMS WITH SILLY HATS BECAUSE L. RON HUBBARD SAYS THEY'RE MORE EFFICIENT...

"Told you so."
Corn - "Well I guess we should go back and fix it."

They go back to mere seconds before they arrive...

"So how do we stop ourselves?"
"Simple. We just tell-"

Corn cocks a pistol as their past selves appear and fires 3 shots as the other 2 scream "no"...

As they watch themselves bleed out the face...

"Huh...I thought we might start fading out of existence or something."
Corn - "Don't be ridiculous...that only happens in the movies."

*pause and awkward glance towards camera*

"So what should we do now?"
"I dunno."

*pause*

"HEY! I KNOW! LET'S GO BECOME OUR OWN GRANDFATHERS!"
All in unison - "YEA!"

BLACKOUT

I hope you enjoyed it...now, I leave you with the comedy stylings of Stephen Colbert...embeded with a reference you grognards will appreciate...enjoy!...

Me and a Mac

I am suppose to be in the library studying my Medical Microbio notes BUT I checked out a Mac and the Photobooth application has occupied most of my time. I think I have read 1 whole page in 1.5 hours.
I discovered a new feature on photobooth that I wasnt aware of previously so I had to come of with something to do. And this is it "Look down... look left.... look right.... look up"

It took me like 500 times to get it right lol Anyways I'll get back to studying, now that I have accomplished this task .

This Is Something I've Been Wondering For A Long Time...

...and now I have an answer...

I could survive for 1 minute, 22 seconds chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor

U Go Girl!

Usually I don't feel confident in wearing short sleeves to classes. This is due to my leopard skins. Since having leopard skins is rare in Asia, I always have people staring at my fugly arms. *sad* =(((

I know I am lucky. At least I didn't inherit some serious disease like AIDS, heart problems and all that. It's just my skin. Right?

But I think I am going to class with short sleeves today. I wanna build my self-confidence. I don't care if people give this disgusted stare at my arms or talk about my skin behind my back.

I was born like this. This is me. I shouldn't feel bad about myself. Unless if I did something bad. Right?

I'm sexy but I have leopard skin. Is that OK with u?

I KNEW ABOUT THIS BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE!

I love animation...if I had any talent for it, I'd be an aspiring cartoonist...but alas, I don't...so I satisfy my creative aspirations through my writing, short films and D&D (when I've got players, that is)...but I still have a soft spot for animation...

As a result, I've got a series on my blog called Flash Friday, where I take my past week of internet cruising and showcase the best flash cartoon and flash game I found in my travels...this week's edition covered some RPG-themed material that I found...the cartoon I chose was created by the brilliant Adam Phillips, my favorite animator of all-time...as a result, anything else I may have found was knocked out of the running for mention on my blog...

A tough decision...but sometimes I can't help myself...I found this one today*...it's about 30 seconds long, but it speaks to the heart...

We all know that guy...you know...the one who always rushes up behind you when you've just discovered something new on the internet and begins blabbering about how he's already seen it or "that's old news"...they're the expert on the subject and you're his nubian inferior because he heard about it before you did...

Funny thing is, most of the time they're talking out their ass about it, having only seen it themselves a few minutes beforehand...that one moment where he can feel superior to you is the highlight of their day...

Watch this...it made my day...

*For the record, I saw this before everyone else did...I was the first one...

Oily Baby

It's weekend and I lurrrrrve weekends!! I'm sure everyone else loves weekends too. So these are the things that I usually do on weekends:

1. Catch up with studies.
I'm a slow learner so I need more time to digest whatever things that my lecturers have thought during the weekdays.

2. Watch DVDs. (If I'm in the mood to watch.)
I don't actually like to watch movies. I don't know why. So if I got bored, I would bang on my friend's door to borrow some DVDs.

3. Gossiping!
U can find me at my friend's room gossiping about whatever shit that happened during the week. I love, love spending time with my friends!

4. Outing to town!
This is one of the best activities. I heart outings! It can be tiring though.

5. The most exciting part? I would pamper myself with QV Bath Oil! Yeah. I am Oily Baby on weekends!



I know. I look fugly in the picture. I dont care coz I love the oily feels. The reason why I have to use Bath Oil? It's because I inherited lentigines from my family. Lentigines is also known as Leopard Syndrome and age@liver spots. U have no idea what lentigine is? Google it babe!

So one of the ways to slow lentigines is to use bath oil. I'm using QV Bath Oil and lemme tell u, it's quite expensive. *sad* Lentigines is rare in Asia though. Only the elders have it. Not youngsters like me. It's different in the western countries if I'm not mistaken.

So tell me, is it common to have lentigines in western countries?

No rash driving...

Hi friends this topic is in the category of both social and personal. Today while i am going to the college in my college bus i saw an accident happening in front of my eyes. Two boys not aged more than 20 were going on a bike, overtaking our college bus. The boy who was driving the bike and the boy sitting back to him were looking on our bus and the girls on our bus were also looking on them. The boy driving the bike didn't look the lorry that was going in front of his bike. Without looking the lorry he raised the bike and the bike wheel caught into the lorry's wheel and within a fraction of second the bike had totally gone into the lorry's wheel. The head of the boy who had driven the bike has been caught into the wheel and came out with full of blood,thus he lost his life without any reason. But God's grace the boy who was sitting back to him has got escaped with a severe injury. The lorry driver was crying because of that boy's death and our college girls had also started crying. Our senior students got out of the bus and rescued that boy, who was severely injured and took him to the hospital. Thus that situation had totally gone bad, due to that boy's rash driving and he was not wearing the helmet too. Thus we were not having the mood of going to the college, but our bus driver has started the bus and we went to the college. While going we were all thinking about the boys, who had met with the accident.
Thus our day turned into a sad one.
Friends, i advice you people not to drive the vehicles very faster. And while driving wear helmet or seat belt, this is a kind request from your friend. Think who is waiting for your safe return in your home...

The Happy Nerd.

My lecturer gave back our test paper back today. She was mentioning about the marks. She told us that she was disappointed with the grades that we got (especially in the objective part). As she was mentioning that the highest marks is 81% and the second highest marks is 71%, I looked at Lehod who was sitting next to me and said, "Darn. I wonder what did I get. I bet Imah is the one who got the highest marks." ^.^

As I was finishing my sentence, she called up my name. I was actually nervous coz I was talking when she was talking too. Which is rude. I know, I know. Then she hand in my paper to me. Gosh. First thing that popped into my mind: "Darn. I got the lowest mark."

I didn't expect to see the figure 81% there at all. Wahhhhhhhhh..... Freakin' happy!! What makes the test hard is the objective questions. They are soooooooo confusing! And I'm glad I got the highest for that too. I got 7/10. *smugs*

*the happy nerd*

Today...

Marks the 7th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. To me it definitely does not seem like it was a whole 7 years ago. I guess that's because many of us remember exactly what you were doing and where you were when the events took place.


I was 13 years old, sitting in my 8th grade Lauguage Arts class, second row second seat. The television was in the corner to my left. I do not remember doing any work that day in class. Every class I had following that one, the t.v. was placed on CNN. And everyone just watched. I was in my French class when the 1st building collapsed and I was like OMG WTF.

I guess the severity of the issue did not hit me until I got home and my mother was on the phone with everyone, my uncle called me and asked "do you understand what happen today?"

I have the newspaper from Sep. 12th 2001. I am saving it for my children I guess.

"Remember 9/11, Never forget" was posted everywhere! I am doing my remembering by reflecting on what I was doing at the time of the attacks. I do it every year pretty much. I try to attend a candlelight vigil if I can find somewhere close that it holding one.

No one will forget 9/11 anytime soon. I mean that fact that we call it "9/11" helps engrave it in people's memory. It can be 60 years from now and when you go to write the date on a sheet of paper, or look at the date on your phone, you will remember.

I was comparing it to Pearl Harbor, and how not many people know the date on which it happen.

"9/11" is definitely 'a day that will live in infamy.'

And I know, for myself, that the image of planes and the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon (among other things) will motivate me to get up an vote for our next President. In the last 7 years, 2 wars? have started. I don't know if its 2, I'm slighty unclear on that issue. But nonetheless, I am sooooooo soooooo soooo ready to vote in my 1st election =]



Obama '08 baby!!!
