It's A Sad Day

It's a sad day. I just heard that one of my sister's friend just died. She had a motorbike accident just yesterday. She was thrown off the bike, hit the road, then dragged a few more feet. She broke her neck and fractured her skull. When she was brought to the hospital, the doctors said that it was only a matter of hours. She would not make it. It is a sad tradegy.

This happened when the girl was just finishing her high school. Just days away from her graduation and weeks away from enroling college. A youth soul cut short. It happened so suddenly. No one ever expected it. But it did happen. And it makes me think.

This probably would not have happen if:
Her boyfriend ride the bike carefully, not speeding, and not trying to cut the traffic from the opposite side because he wanted to go faster. This happens a lot lately. Motorbike riders sometimes do not care about the rule, therefor do not care about their own safety and the safety of the people they are riding with. They cut traffic. They go zig-zagging inside the crowded traffic to find a very tight space, so they could reach their destination faster. Bottom line, they're not careful just for the sake of getting there faster.

She wears the proper gear for motorbike, which is a motorbike helmet. This also breaking the rules. Not that I want bad-mouthing a deceased person or anything. I just thought to point out that this also happens a lot lately. People, the rider and the ridee, wears unproper helmets. I've seen it so many times.

It makes me think a lot. I've been quite upset about the condition of the motorbike lately. They're getting rude and unsafe more and more each day. And when this happens, it just prove it. This is the case, the example.

To all the motorbike riders and ridee out there, please be careful. An extra concern note to the riders. You have the advantage of being the riders, please be careful. The ridee is not going to be as lucky as you are if something happens. So remember when you drive carelessly, you are endangering another person. That you have someone else's life in your hands. I'm sure you don't want to life forever regreting your careless driving.

PLEASE BE SAFE!

American Idol? For real?

Okay, this is disappointing. First, it was Jennifer. Then George Huff. And now? LaToya. Those are three of four the best singers in the competition. Hellooooow? What's happening? What's next? Fantasia? If she ever get voted-off, my American Idol-watching-routine is gone baby! No more American Idol in this house. I can't believe that two of the 'alright' singers stay on the competition. Because of what? Are they good singers? Not as good as those three (Jen, George, LaToya)! Are they good looking? Well, surely people think so seeing the way they stay. For your information...it's a singing competition, not a popularity contest. This is turning to be the ugliest season ever. Even Ryan Seacrest doesn't worth it if Fantasia got booted.

When Jennifer was voted off, I stayed on. When George Huff was voted off, I shruged off the possibility of stop watching. I will stay watching until it turns to the ugliest possibility ever...that two 'alright' singer is going to fight for the top position and it's runner up. If that happens, that's it. Might as well rename the show into something like American something.

Wait, I have take care of my zit first. Damn these hormons.

Okay, back. Got a cotton with alcohol on it. Hurt a little, but the price to be beautiful. Hwahahahaha. I can't believe I've said that.

All of this mess wouldn't have happen if...I could vote. Being geographical impossible to vote get to my nerve. I'll pay good amount of money if only I can vote. *sigh* Me feel bad. Me feel a piece of cookies coming right into my mouth this any minute. Wait...okay, I still can eat something. Cut-off time is 8 pm. I'm off...to get my cookie.

The Aftermath
Okay, okay. So this all 'my coreshaker looses his shakes' is part my fault..............................
Okay, it's ALL my fault. I should put the blame on my exessive expectations. Fine, fine! My bad.
But exessive expectations are like hope. Or maybe not. But one does expects things or rather guess from the visible traits of one other. Those we can see, becomes our base in judging, or in my case, assembling personalities of a coreshaker. Basically, one can dream, can't they? Or at least guess, hope, exessively expect. Whatever.
So...what is a coreshaker? Someone who shakes your core. But now I should put a footnote on that description that say: Remember, he's only human. He's no angel, my coreshaker. Though his visible traits and personalities does somehow closely resemble one, he's no angel. He has faults, he made mistakes (he's divorced for crying out loud), so what if he is a playboy. So what if he is a player...he's still a man (a real man, for sure).
Bottomline, keep in mind that a coreshaker is still human, definetely no angel at all. Whatever...

News Flash
My coreshaker looses his shakes.

New Found Inspiration
Oof! I finally back. Damn, it's been a while. I've been down and back. Just found my new found inspiration: emotional turnmoil. I guess now I understand how certain people need strong emotions throughout their life to obtain inspiration. It does give you a lot of inspiration. I hope I can find some...um, scientific explaination about the whole. Why? It makes the whole thing more understandable.
So...how do you feel when you're in love? How does it feel to be in love? I just found out that when I'm in love, I get nauseated. Is this just me?

Coreshaker : someone who shakes your heart badly, your one great love (from episode 1, season 5, Sex and The City)

I also just found out who is my coreshaker, but I'm too shy to say who it is.

Panic Attack

What is exactly signs of panic attack? I've been wondering that for a couple of days now. It all started when I realized that I'm now more...um, sensitive, a bit touchy, or even down-right cranky. I get upset over little things, the lamest scene on tv could make me cry. Then I realized that I got this funny feeling in my tummy. I wonder what it is. Is it a panic attack? Or is it just another hormonal events. It happens a lot. But I'm pretty sure this isn't PMS. Or is it? As in post menstrual syndrome? Does that even exist? The nausea happened again just about...now. Everytime I think of 'someone' doing 'something'...I feel a lump in my throat and nausea. Is it anger? Or just plain sickness. Yuuuck!!! And yuuuuuuck again!! Better search for panic attack at google. Then head downstairs for some chocolate. Yuuuuck!!! (translated as: Damn you, Coco!)

*phew* What a week!!! I've been loosing my sleep lately. The local TV station is airing Band of Brothers, 5 days in a row, since Monday. They air it every night on 10 pm, which lasted about 2,5 hours (the original series's duration is 2 hours, here is + 30 mins commercials). *yawn* I'm soooooo sleepy.

Anyway, I'm just gonna say what a coincidence. They air Band of Brothers about a week before the Dreamcatcher release. See? What a coincidence. Hopefully, this will make people flock to the theatre and watch the movie.

Aww, man. I feel awful. This is what I get if I had a weird dream last night. But I can't even remembered it. Aaaaaaaaargh!!! At least, I got to see John Vause again this morning. He's still in Basra, reporting on the pumping of crude oil there. Gooosh, *yawn* sleepy, sleepy, sleeepy. Maybe I should get more sleep.

Aaaaaaaaaaa!!! Bugger!! The Internet Explorer just suddenly decided that I'm the enemy. Yuch! I was ready to pour my guts (and my heart) but it just shut. So here we go again.

After a few days missing, John Vause finally reported again. Still from Nasiriya, he reported about the Iraqi doctors that help one the POWs, Jessica Lynch. Looked good in blue shirts and (maybe) a grey pants, he talked with the doctors and was shown the room where Jessica Lynch was found. He listened very carefully to the resident doctor. Hmmm, very thoughtful of him. Makes him even more...aw, I won't even write it. *blush*

Good news (for me). I have bought The Forsyte Saga VHS set from the Amazon. Bought through the used & new feature. Got meself a new one for only $42, while the one at Amazon is $71. Quite a bargain, eh?

Gosh, I am still sleepy. I had to wake up at 5.30 this morning, because I gotta do Mom a favor. I'll take a nap after this.

I just finished a book called "Confession of A Shopaholic". It tells a story about a shopaholic, who has trouble keeping her money or credit cards to stay in her wallet. While I was reading it, I keep thinking 'this woman is stupid', or 'can anybody be this stupid?', or 'oh my gosh, this woman is totally obsessed'. I just can't believe that anyone actually can get fired because she was hooked with a zebra-textured jeans (which I think definetely not worth the ordeal) and wouldn't let a costumer in the store she worked in to buy it (she hid it behind a curtain). As I read through the chapters, I kept feeling really annoyed by her. At that time, I wished I could just jump into the book, shook her, slap her, or do whatever it takes to get her mind work. But as I told my sister the story in the morning, she said "But that's how all shopaholic are". Oooooooooooh. Big 'round of applause for my sis. She's 5 years younger than me, but she can be wiser sometimes. Cheers sis!

Now, after reading that book, I moved on to "Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps". This books is very interesting, as it stated that men and women are different, not better or worse - just different. One simple and logical answer to all the unsolved questions about men and women, and the relationship between them. I just finished one chapter, and now reading the second one. I found some interesting things in the first chapter. They say men dominate the remote control. Well, I like to dominate the remote, but I'm 100% a woman. They also say that women has a short-range spatial skill, which makes them a bad map-reader. Well, I can read map and I don't have a problem telling right from left. But as I questioned that statements, I moved on the the 2nd chapter and find my answer there. But I won't tell you the answer untill I read the whole chapter. I really recommend this book. It has a lot of scientific explaination on those things that ticked you about both sexes. I'll put it on my list, on the left.

Aaaaaah, that's it for now. I need my nap therapy...cheers!

Finally, the template editor works. A new featured link, just on the left. Check it out. More to come, the links page.

Ehem. I finally saw John Vause!!!!! He is now at Nasiriya, covering on the meeting about Iraq future there. Oh, finally, finally, finally. *slap self* I gotta get a grip of myself.

Did watched Band of Brothers. 3 full episodes. Aaaah, Mr. Lewis himself. Just so damn gorgeous. So people, do watch his new flick Dreamcatcher. It's a must see. Weell, at least for Damian admirers.

Heeeeeey! What happen to the template editor? I was going to put some new stuffs, but I guess that will have to wait.

I just found a Yahoo Groups on John Vause. Yeah, that's right. I can't believe it myself. There I was, just typing 'John Vause' on the group search, thinking 'Maybe..'. Then voila! There is a group dedicated to him. So now I'm officially the group's 6th or maybe 7th member. Hurrrah!!! There's a group to share my fixation.

I was going to put a link to another blog, qHate.com. I read it once a while, the blog is about 'love and hate in Quwait'. It has a lot point of view from people who are Quwaities and live in Quwait. Right now, the reports on CNN are all about the allegation on Syria being 'helpful' to a lot of Iraqi officials. Whatever. Can people just hold that thoughts? There are a lot of other issues in Iraq than that, and more important! Humanitarian aids, please! A lot of people are suffering because of their wounds, but no humanitarian aids just yet. People are moving to slow. Get those damn aids there! You have troops all over, security is not supposed to be an hold-up for the aid. Aaaaaargh!!! I wish I could do more than this ranting. Is there any big air vessels that can carry a whole hospital? Guess not.

Oh what else? What else? Oh yeah, seems that Francesco Coco (the football/soccer player) is injured and would need a month to recover. Which means that he probably won't played again the rest of the season. Oh well, look at the bright side. I only need to watch 2 games now, Milan's and Juve's. Ah, 10.30 already. Better get going and watch that BOB vid. Let see...which episodes??

Another one? Gosh I'm obsessed

Back!!! Just for another change in my layout. Now look beside you. Sorry, I mean to the left part of the screen. Taadaaa! Some new links. I will put a links page soon, more organized of course. Also a featured links every posts, which will be archived on the links page.

Finally, I'm getting used to this. Hurraaah!!!

PS : Damn cable!!! Instead fixing the problem with Star TV, they change the channel. Not that I don't mind having Now!, FashionTV, and Soundtrack Channel...but I need Star World, you eedjits!!! I already missed Oprah for 3 weeks!!! Aaaaaaaargh!!!

Me Again

Another post? Yes. Another one. I'm trying to get use to this, so I changed the layout (again). But I'll stick with this one though. Don't worry. Another change will be made...not in a short time. Meanwhile, I'm also trying to costumize my blog. Been trying to remember some of the HTML tags. It's been a while since I made a website. One of the recent site I made was a tribute site to Francesco Coco, an Italian football/soccer player who plays in Internazionale Milan. Don't bother to check the site. It has 'Under Construction' tag on the main page. Maybe I should be fixing it and run it again. As soon as my modem is repaired (it got hit by lightning one night, didn't blew up just refuses to recognize a dial tone). When? Soon. No actual or acurate answer to be made.

What else? Oh yes, no new report yet from John Vause. The last one I saw was still the one about the Iraqi traffic police who were trained by British troops to control checkpoint. A short glimpse of Mr. Vause, the rest was just his voice on the report. Ah, better than nothing I guess. I'll try to find the url of his profile from the CNN.com as soon as possible. After I manage to get used to the HTML tags again. I've been using Netscape Composer for a while, that's why I've been neglecting HTML tags. I guess it's better to use the FrontPage...you can still see the HTML tags. But wait a minute, the latest Composer does have HTML view too. Oh well...fix the modem first, fix the modem first. There goes another spending. So when am I going to go back to my piano lesson?

Damn cable!!! Instead of fixing the problem of their subscription with the STAR TV, they change the damn channel into something that didn't even aired. Then they got two, not one, two TV5 Asie. And they didn't recover RAI International. Damn them! I'm stopping my subscription if they still have this problems next month. I'm changing my cable service next month, if they can't get the STAR TV channels running. Totally not professional.

Me Own Blog

Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Finally...me own blog. I've been wanting to have one for a while, but never seem has the...time to do it. Sure, I've known the net and the art of webmaking for years, but on the blog stuff...I'm a newbie. Thank god I found Blogger, a really cool and easy way to make me own blog.

This is my third week on 'vacation'. I've skipped classes for two weeks in a row now. Beginning to feel bored now. I have CNN on now, watching the reports from Iraq. What on now is the reports about the school music in Bagdad which got trashed in the so-called 'jubilation' after the city was freed. There are a few music instrument that got broken. A grand piano with no keys or lid or legs. Breaks me heart sometimes, watching all of this reports. Been thinking what I could do to help. Find one...which is so common. But then again, I don't exactly have the same opinion as others have. Pity.

Why watch CNN? Well, the Cartoon Network on my cable suddenly vanished. So the only reasonable thing to do is to switch to CNN. Just checking the latest development on the post-war Iraq. And...just incase John Vause pops up on the screen. Yes...I do have a fixation? A crush? An admiration? Oh whatever, bottom line...I do like John Vause. There, I've said it. On the internet. On my blog, where people can see. Eeeuch. I feel sick suddenly. Need a dose of Ginger himself, quick. Bad thing is...Dreamcatcher due in April 29th. Waaaaay tooo long for a dose of Mr. Lewis himself. Guess back to Band of Brother, for a quick one.

Hmm, that's it for intro I guess. More Ginger fixation on the next posts. Cheers!
