Who would've guessed...

" Picture Courtesy of http://babs.com.au ; Darling River "

I met up with a friend I knew long time ago and we were chatting and all, he seemed to be all hyped up about doing business and how to earn those bucks. So he pop this question ( which I already have heard people asking actually and I am sure he heard it from someone ), who would've guessed we would drink from bottles and buy water in bottles today? Well, soon enough, someone might be asking you, who would've thought that we had to drink our own processed pee over and over again today.

Don't say never and don't be surprise if it ever!

The `Darling River' in Sydney seemed to be a just one of those close enough sign for you to observe global warming, since north pole is just too far. Today is has dried up 50% of its natural water, and you've guessed it right this time Einstein, it's not going to stop there.

When we think about northpole, what comes to mind? Santa Claus!!! You got it right again. But Santa has thick clothes and is surrounded by beautiful white ice and snows ( in movies ), so next time, Santa Claus is about to live on a large boat, probably like a cruise or something cause all ice would be gone by 2040.

Dearest all, the beautiful ice there isn't the only thing that is gone when it's gone, your land, the one your foot sets on, the one we always complaint of how difficult it is to take a few steps just to get to the other side of the road, would also be gone. Nothing leaves earth unless you put it up in space, first you will have to take out billions from your pockets. But if you haven't had any of those, try to think where the water goes when the ice melts. Oh yes, this is a little child science, ice forms from water, and when ice melts, it return to waters.

Let's invite another massive flood, let's burn a little rubbish today, cut off a little trees to make the 56th cupboard you want to replace because the old one is just a sore to the eye.

Let us SWIM! Ouh, some of us can't swim...so lets watch em die! So let us do something today, so the children we tried so hard to keep them living today, wouldn't die tommorow.

If forgetting all cause for the sake of money is your way, then hell is your place.

Take time to watch the video no matter how slow it will load. I will never go to a circus again no matter how humane they treat their performing animals. Because first we do not know what happens behind and even if we know, my dear friends, animals are not meant to do things like that for your entertainment. It is the same as you or your family members being forced into prostitution, something you wouldn't rarely do, just so that another person gets to earn a living. And if they were mistreated, it is the same is if you don't sleep with your client, you get beat up! Now in what way is that fun to watch?

Would you be watching if its your daughter who is having sex with another man by force and call that entertainment? The only answer needed is either yes or not, no buts, or other questions to go with it. If its yes, welcome to the circus, you can already have one right at the comfort at your own home. If no, STOP going to the circus. Kids can do many more fun things, bring them to the park, bring them for animated movies in the cinema, make them play sports, which is healthy for their body and mind...trains them to be competitive and make them fit. That's the way to live a happy life, not to live a happy one, on the expense of another...especially when it means pain and suffering for another.

Remember, we all have a role on earth, and if it is nothing so great that the world will know, it must be at least not to participate in cruelty, however ungreat that might sound, it is greater than the person who leads the country to freedom, because you are responsible and has contributed to a change which will impact the whole world, and to fight for one which is unable to fight. That makes you a hero! Be one today. Cruelty must not be the way of life and the message must be sent out, because the way it is going today, if your child is happy watching circus today, your grandchildren may live in a world one day where cruelty and immorality becomes irrelevant, that may mean, one day of happiness equals to death for your future generations. Now how is that good for your child?

Pictured entry...hot and cold..

And one time my petsis was commenting about having photos in my blog so that it doesn't look so long, boring, dull. I do agree but fact is when I first write this, I have no intention that it be written for anyone to read. Or at least not anyone public, only one or two, the main intention was that once I read that writting diaries and blogs actually help people reduce pressure and stress.
So this is where I'll start having pictoral....and perhaps I shall make it a little more interesting believing people would actually come to read.

At the news today...I was reading about the end of the world. No. I am just kidding, but not entirely not true either. It is reported that unseasonable warm weather has encouraged the "Titan Arum" to bloom early. Or to be more accurate on what the article said, "Unseasonably warm weather may have tricked the world's smelliest plant into blooming in the middle of the northern hemisphere winter" .It is also known as the corpse flower.....why? Probably the smell is why

Now the flower can be tricked into blooming early...this is a scary thing to do. It has now become human? Plants and animals were one of the most innocent being, or at least in my opinion. And today, they finally are changing because of the world. And when the world all go upside down, I seriously wonder what will happen to man.
Unrelated to whatever happened, I was thinking about the word and the act of revenge the other day. You know, revenge is a selfish act. You do not bring back things to the original position of life when you engage revenge. Lets say your brother dies because some asshole kills him or something. What do you do? Kill him back. It doesn't bring your brother back, it doesn't make him happier either. The only person who feels satisfied or at least more satisfied would be you, and you yourself or whoever who felt the pain of that death. Revenge is only an act to make you feel better, not make things better. So here comes the catch, what happens to punishment?
When I search for revenge, the first picture that comes up was picture of the comic of cows and man.
Apparently its good cause it gives a little comic relief to my entry it seems.

Now, punishement is also doing some hurt to the person who first hurt. But what is that which differentiates punishment and revenge? Everyone has their own opinion on it, you can give me yours....while I'll give mine, probably in the next entry.........

Hate...leads to the dark side.

A topic came up in my head today due to a conversation I had with a very good friend. And so I thought, what makes one person hates the other? Sometimes, you just hate the other person even if they did not do anything to you. Why? The mere looks, the voices, the hair. Whatever they have just makes you hate them. Why? Try to imagine if this is God, and He just hates you no matter what you do. You'd really be doomed. The question here is, are christians suppose to hate? Animals don't hate....that's what make them so superior and in fact, more Christ like than any human here on earth. So it tickles me whenever man say we should all be Christlike, animals are lower than us, bla bla. But from the logic and the facts that we are presented today, it doesn't seem like it. They are more forgiving, they love without limits...what else. It shall be continue. I am suppose to run now.......brother's birthday dinner. Its his 20! No more teen-age.

Stupidity and love...

People say love makes you do stupid thing, love actually makes you stupid sometimes, and if you don't want to be stupid, then stop acting like one, when you're in love. You know there are different types of people....some common ones are, when they're in love with a guy/girl....you who are their friend, are somehow told a lot about their this new partner thing. They come and show you their pictures, tell you where they went, what they ate, how their parents laugh at them, giggle till the cows come home but the funny thing is, they never think why would I want to know so much about your partner in the first place? It is like when I love my foot so much ( let's say ) and out of nonwhere I come out and tell you how pretty is my foot and oh how many miles we've walked together, oh sometimes it stinks( giggle..) but I love the aroma it gives, and bla bla. You know what I mean? Don't give me a piece of it. I know you're in love, its even better for you not to even talk to me at all if that's what you love to talk to me about. No I am not here to share that with you. Friends should share? So now when you have sex we can do threesome? I don't think so, so hey, why not you keep your love to yourself and when you're talking to me, we talk to me? Don't tell me how good looking your boyfriend is, because I am not gay in the first place and if I am, you wouldn't want me to know.
I can understand the feeling of being so madly in love and all over your partner but after a while I learn that telling the other person about that special someone of yours so much, seriously, it is not an interesting common topic. Oh but you say I love him/her so much so I got to tell the world....be my guess cause I can definitely provide you with some numbers to call, you just tell me which national newspaper you want the announcement to be in.
You can tell me all about your partner and expect me to accept it and listen happily, I mean, not that I am not happy you found someone. I am....please remember I am not that old and my memory is still working. You need not remind me with things about them every once in a while unless I ask. If you still insist you must, I shall listen but the day you break up.......you be prepared to listen to me telling you, that you are stupid and your partner is right, you're the asshole and so on. Wouldn't sound nice and comforting isn't it? Where's the rationale? The rationale is here, you continuously praised your partner a thousand or trillion times that you made him as perfect as can be, when you guys breaks up, it has GOT to be your fault and you must be the asshole.
This condition is something like what my friend said, and I think you're right phungkie...what's wrong with these `in love' people anyway? The moment you fall in love it is as if no one else should matter and you're the most important person, your feelings and your partner's.
No offence, but if you got a boyfriend/girlfriend...tell me once, and trust me my memory power, as bad as it can be, I can definitely remember it until the day you tell me you guys are breaking up. Seriously, what in the world makes you think I would fall in love with what you fell in love with? You don't wanna hear about my underwear right? Well I don't wanna hear about your partner either. And for your information its rude...cause communication is between me and you when me and you are talking. Not between you and him/her when me and you are talking. Get that right. If I wanna know about your partner, trust me I will ask.
Problem is, I don't even see you talking about your parents like that....you don't love them? Or you just love your partner 30 times more?
No pun intended...I am not so into love kinda thing...probably I've reached an age where love is no longer something I am longing for, tried it...ain't nothing special with it. So whoever read this, please do me a favour before I do something like never initiate to first say hi to you? If I used to say HI and I stopped, its probably that! ....adios

For the first shall be the last, in the kingdom of heaven.

Does it simply means, if you get the last train ticket here on earth you will be presented with first class seat up there? Well, something like that in my opinion. However, today something funny occur and my thoughts just couldn't allow it to let go. My very loved pet sister however disagree when I generalize and said that all puts those in first place tends to lose them, and those whom they let behind, are always there for them.
Have you had an occasion where you have a notebook or something but you just couldn't be bothered with it. However once upon a time when you were younger you tend to just put in photos, and writting and records there once in a while and then after a while you get bored, you throw them aside and it looks like it just disappeared from your life? You ever treasured that brand new cellphone so much you just leave everything else behind? Suddenly one day, you lost your cellphone and your address book is gone with it, pictures are bygones, nothing else is left of you and your cellphone and you just can't find it, someone just probably stole it or you just misplace it and lost it? Out of nowehere, your old notebook suddenly appears and has many things inside which may not be what the cellphone's worth to you, but certainly made you sit down in your little cozy room and flip it page by page. Where did the book came from? It was always there! It didn't leave you, you left the book. What about your cellphone? You didn't leave it to be gone, it left you! Or someone took it from you! Sometimes, well.....nothing is perfect so there's no such thing as everytime I suppose; life's like that. Things you make first, came to last and the last thing in your life became first.
Perhaps there is a hidden message in the gospel when it talks about first shall be the last. We tend to prioritize the wrong things in life. Many things of that which we want to keep and make first and foremost important top secret first class item in our life ( it can range from money, computers, PDA, girlfriends/boyfriends, friends ) can sometimes turn out to be the very thing that leave us. Somehow it is just human nature, how many times have you actually seen that when parents abandon their kids, it is actually your boyfriend/girlfriend or friend who was all the way around you and back you up, and what are the odds that you're putting in more time with family than with friends? Perhaps it is usually the other way round, our prioritization is always the other way round. And even if you did this well enough and you somehow put the right things up in your life and the least thing last, you will always see one or two things in life you put it the wrongside up, and you tend to fall back on the things that you placed last in life. Of course do not mistake this with personal interest and attitude. Its not saying that, you should now focus more on playing and enjoying and partying and put your studies last, so that one day study will all come back to you when you fall. Look at it properly, if you put your education, hardwork all last....the only thing you're probably going to fall back is still your parents, which is still right in accordance to the theory I mentioned.
Quotes and dreams and wishes are never to be used to be an excuse to slack and lay back about life. Its meant to be a cushion if you fall from somewhere you have climbed. Not a cushion for you to lay back, you have never climbed anywhere before, you're just laying there. No!

....you grow up poor, you realize it every second of your life

Now that topic was just to start this off and the later part may not be related. A continuation from the previous article of you growin up poor but you don't really realize it cause you were so loved? Some people struggle very much with being `not very wealthy', and complains about the money, wanting to make more and do whatever it takes, its really good to motivate yourself and all to work for things you want but its despicable if you put your dignity on the line. And if you grow up not so wealthy and you feel it each and every second, it probably meant one thing, you LACK love and finding more money wouldn't cure that problem brothers and sisters! Money keeps you living so you could find love, not the other way round. See, don't you think its ridiculous that you fall sick so that you can take medication? Rather than you took it because you got ill? Now medicine here would work like money, you take it when you're ill, to bring you up again so that you can go on with life. Not, you take more medicine and you heal so that you can find for more medicine. We call that drug addicts and if you're living in a world different from mine where you call these powerful people you better remind me where you live.
Second of all, the most important part I realize is there is a very very thin line that separates denial of truth, and being positive. Many, which is not even worth mentioning here but if you feel it, it really didn't mean to hit you but if it did, probably you can do something, only if you want to, if you don't, its not my life anyway right? Well, take this....a kid takes too much drug in his blood and suddenly one day died, his parent while he was alive, just didn't took the time to care for him and it wouldn't matter too much if he was out or in the house. Indirectly causing the intoxication and boom, there goes another life. Lets call this boy Jack just to make it more imaginable. And not Jack's parent, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas are too busy doin their work and stuffs and all. They didn't even realize if Jack wasn't around at home last night or not, but they're so tired, they jus went straight to bed. Be it ignorance or what, Jack has been on drugs for 2 and a half years, and one day he just drop and fell really ill, and never woke up again.
See, you can choose to respond it many ways. You can say, no, this is all the will of God and he was destined to die as a lesson to everyone out there. And console yourself, that this isn't your fault on not giving enough attention to Jack. Or maybe you could've just say that, God did all this for a purpose and we man do not know of His will so we will accept it as it is, but we know God is good and whatever He's done must be good, so this is good; in other words. OR maybe you can twist that fact a little bit and say, yea God really indeed have allowed this to happen, rather than making it happen and say I admit it is my fault. It is not good, we are not good, we let him die on us, we didn't even realize if he had his dinner or not, what more drugs? The good thing is, we finally admit our fault, what's next? Go to church and cry out loud, pray all you can and start working the next day cause life goes on, and no money no life? Of course its important to have money but remember you don't get the medicine to fall sick, you fall sick then you consume the medicine, and if you are making money in your life like as if you're living for it and you would fall sick and let go of everything because of money, don't you think its time you end your life? What do you want from those money? To be happy, to be healthy, to live well, loved....and suddenly when you start working so hard and do whatever it takes to face heartbreaks, disrespectful life, bla this and that, you're doing it the wrong way? The right way to make money is to keep the intention right. To make your loved ones happy, and putting your life or dignity down is never gonna make anyone who loved you proud nor happy. Look at your life today, and if you're not making money the right way as I am talking about here, I seriously think its about time you start to make it right. Don't go to church and pray 30 times in 29 minutes, eat the bread 3 loaf of the bread of life and drink the whole bottle of wine which rerpesents the blood. Symbolic action is nothing without the right way of life. In fact, the very thing about Jesus' last supper was that He came in clean hands and His life was all right and He ate there so that everyone remembers that you get yourself clean before you start coming to take a part of this. You cannot be perfect and no one is asking you to, but if you didn't do it right one by one, you're not even close to being right.
Once I was reading this quote somewhere and it inspires me to give faith a benefit of doubt, it goes somethin like, Christians are not good people, but people who knows they are wrong. Again, suddenly...I think that sentence mean knowing you're wrong; then fix it! Knowing itself ain't getting you nowhere. If I kill you today and say I know I am wrong, too bad. I'll just live on but I already know I am wrong, thats enough? Wow, ain't life for a Christian as easy as breathing air? Oppresion from another religion isn't the hardest part of Christian life. The hardest part comes from pressing yourself to fix things and as hard as it can be, let them slap you on the right when they slapped the left. I have yet to see a single human capable of doing that in my whole life. Don't avoid wrongdoings by saying things like; its ok, the whole community is against me and say I am wrong, this is the work of the devil and God is testing me to stand strong. If Jesus were to be like that, he would't took the cross and throw it down the valley of no end and tell the world, come and consume me and God will do me justice. National geographic won't have a program to find out how Jesus was crucified on the cross instead, where did the cross went? He wasn't wrong to begin with, but He lets you slap Him both sides. Today all I can see is, we're all wrong to begin with, and then we put some cream on the cheek and say, God will watch after me. Stop being defensive. Lets get some slapping. You will never know how Jesus feels and what God wanted in your life until you be like that. The question to close this topic; ask yourself this..do I let people slap me on the left, when they slapped my right? Or after they slapped my right, I build up a wall and say, GOD IS MY SHELTER....and be one the watch for any incoming slaps?
Truly if that was how God wanted us to be, I don't think the slap left and right thing would be in the bible wouldn't it? Wouldn't it probably be something like, when they slap you on the right......hit them where it hurts most?
