Madaling magbago ang mga tao.
Kadalasan akala mo kaibigan mo.
Sa isang iglap, lipas na, samahan niyo'y limot na.
Mga pangakong lumipas gaya nang:
"High or low man, friends tayo!"
Agad na natutunaw na parang mantikilya sa mainit na llanera.
Mga bukang bibig na:
"Walang limutan kahit sumikat man!"
Agad na naglalaho daig pa ang gawa sa gumamelang bula.
May ilan pa diyang magsasabi,
"Kaibigan kita, pag ako nagkaroon ng kaibigan, di ko binibitawan."
Oh c'mon.
Madaling magbago ang mga tao.
Kadalasan akala mo kaibigan mo.
Pag lingon mo pabalik, wala ka nang matatanaw kundi isang bagay...
... na gawa sa PLASTIK.

... my genes are the epitome of looking stupid (and cute? lol) without any effort at all.
Nada. XD Sharing with the world a pic of me and my son, Babbit. The pose was unintentional. LOL - Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
- Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
- Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with Nothing usually end in Fine.
- Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!
- Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about Nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of Nothing.)
- That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s Okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
- Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you’re welcome.
- Whatever: Is a woman’s way of saying SCREW YOU!
- Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking “What’s wrong?” For the woman’s response refer to #3.
CA2020 is a Hero for People Who Rush In
Nyssa Soriano
We are all pro-change. We want to be our own bosses, we all strive to be out of the rat race. BUT how would you be out of the rat race when you don’t have the kicks, know-hows, nor the built to jump off it?
It is good to leave the employment world and immerse one’s self into having one’s own business and taking the risk. But we are reminded not to be fools who dive in and grab the hook the moment it gleams under dark murky waters.
You need money to make more money. If you don’t have any, then how’d you multiply nothing and get something?
I’ve had friends- me myself included, who kept their daytime jobs while they started to run their own businesses (mine and my other friends’ failed, but we’re now on the right track). Now, some of them colleagues of mine earn twice to 6 times their salaries as their passive income. How did they do it? They used their salaries and earnings and made it more. As simple as that.
But then again, I had ‘friends’ who quit their job immediately to try to establish their own business, and up to now, they don’t have a cent entitled to their names. Then, they would lash out at us, ‘employed business owners’, saying what we do is futile, that we are very salary reliant, that we are ‘money slaves’. We shrug it off. They have zero passive income, minimal, per-condition ‘earnings/salaries’, and they have the guts to tell people who earn tens to hundred-thousands that they are better, and on the right way to success. Which, I think, is quite odd and wrong.
I am not openly bashing people who left work to establish their own business, I actually salute them! Such guts to face a big risk, but they managed! Then again, where did they get their funding? From money. Some from their own earnings, from their own savings, others loan, others got lucky and had an investor. Some, though they have only a little, had great knowledge, talent, skill and potential! Point is, they had money, even a little, and the skill to start their own big thing! They weren’t squirming, destitute individuals who have no talent, development, whatsoever to progress.
But those who leave their jobs early in hopes to establish a multi-million business? Those who plunge down and drown themselves intentionally, hoping to learn how to swim without even proper guidance? Those who have no experience, knowledge, whatsoever, in the business industry they want to pursue? Those who close their eyes and hope to land on soft surfaces as they jump off of cliffs? They are misguided, and they need immediate help.
And though I’ve been lagging behind and I’ve not taken my modules yet (sorry!), I believe CA2020 would help lead and guide these ‘lost’ people, and correct their mindset. Yes, they should NOT be reliant on their paychecks, but, diving without any harness… trying to swim without even knowing even how to hold their breaths nor float, those who rush in due to pure hearsay and adrenaline, that is doing what is RISKY, not merely taking a risk.
And I thank CA2020 for helping some people to correct their mindset. Hopefully, they would be much more open minded, and capable of bearing what lies ahead with CA’s help. Though it is within my power to cite in names, I won’t. Thanking CA2020 would be an enough deal for me, and would make me happy.
Seeing these friends heal, and succeed on their own would also be a heart-warming success for me.
Signing off,
Nyssa
Employee, Designer, Event Leader, Business Owner I've been awfully depressed and lethargic for the past few days- particularly starting this Monday. Eversince I heard that song, it just made me realize what a stupid, worthless grand daughter I was to my now deceased Lola.
She would be having her 2nd year dead by July 14. Evrytime I remember her I just go... pff. Yeah, depressed.
But it's over now, I'm a tad happier now. Anyway. I had a lot of lessons learned (besides that from baking). Here.
1. Don't listen to piano music if you're already sad. It would make you burst. Even if it's The Entertainer.
2. Don't know to much. Avoid knowing too much.
3. AND NEVER PUT MONEY YOU EARNED HARD ON THE STOCKS. -_- ESPECIALLY ON GASOLINE OR MINING! Yes, the centavos look tempting, you could buy a lot of shares but the kick back is... T_T
4. I've learned this very valuable lesson. I love cheesecake. It's all I want. It makes me fall for it, indulged, over and over again. However, it is always 45 minutes away, if worse, 2 hours away, I can't run for cheesecake whenever I want to. You see, I patronize only one brand.
Then came a super chocolate-caramel and fudge devil's food cake with layers of sansrival and that rhummy, addicting taste. It hits my tastebuds, then I get hooked for a while. It's only 5 minutes away, I could run to grab a bite anytime!
But then, I suddenly realize things. I miss my cheesecake- its sweet-tangy-salty taste, its smoothness, the velvety feeling it emits when it crushes in my mouth. I miss it badly. And the store owner keeps on calling me- I admit to be irritated for a while, but yeah, I remember now, I made a reservation, and I haven't claimed it yet. Once I do, I'd enjoy a whoooollleee institutional blueberry cheesecake by myself. Which of course, I've been looking forward to my whole life.
Then.. yeah.. I see the pounds piling, my blood sugar rising alarmingly, my teeth getting rotten, my skin getting bumpy... the devil's food cake is making me ill. I even got food poisoned. After a few days, it closed- the shop, that is. It was sued for using milk with- yeah, that Chinese thingy... and chocolate mix with salmonella. So... my regrets.
I should've valued my cheesecake more. My sugar-free, 50% less fat blueberry cheesecake.
Anyway, I've returned to my cheesecake love. And I'm happy I sticked with it.
Thank you, 'Ate' for the illustration.

History had been often enclosed in book pages. The adventures of our ancestors were once everyday, untold, insignificant stories, but now, as we proceed the modern age, those stories became fantasies- tales even, of power, faith and glory!
Concept creator Alice “Yeye” Zamora shares some of her thoughts:
“I am often a fan of history- especially our country’s. What saddens me is that, we weren’t given a choice, much choice, to select our countries destiny. Shallow, but true- only in fantasies could we recreate our what-if’s. What if we were able to fight the Spaniards, what if we never agreed with the Americans, what if our barters and trades were much much more. It started with short write up-s, until eventually, someone made a flash game out of it. We are not taking our steps on trying to make this ‘fantasy’ a reality through other platforms like online gaming. Filipino tayo. It’s sad that we consider history as a burden. Walang masyadong nakakaalam kung ano ba ang nangyari noon, kung bakit meron tayong batas ngayon, at iba pa. Through online games, we wish to make youths recall our history, that we indeed, have royal blood running on our veins- we want to do reviews without compromising fun.”
Yeye and her team is now taking their final steps on making their MMORPG dream come true. Content Consolidators Yu Tse and Bill Losano pitch in their ideas. “The storyline is very simple”, says Tse, “as long as you know your history. But to make it easier, we have produced game guides as well.” “There are other quirky pre-programmed scenes” says Losano. “Say, for example, you win a quest, there are short video clips to celebrate. But you could always turn it off if you think it’s not your thing.”
Losano, Tse and Zamora are optimistic about their game. “When we pitched this in to our friends, they were ecstatic! Una, kalokohan lang, but we never thought, we’d push this!”
More updates would be released as soon as they go nearer to their content proposal.
Game Features
The game has five races, each having a distinct skill and attribute. These races are based on Filipino history. It is reality and fantasy combined, therefore, quirky casting and other visual effects would be, notably, present.
Aeta- the aborigines of the Philippine islands, and hunters of the wild. They are short, usually dark skinned, and starkly clothed. Their attacks are mostly physical, having weapons like clubs, arrows, and wood. However, do not estimate the Aetas. Their primary source of will, faith and power are the Anitos, the guardians and protectors of their race. Aetas could cast spells which would paralyze and might kill your character.
Unique Aeta Feature: Ground control. It is a skill where any in-game tangible object, say, a rock nearby, or a piece of wood could be used by the aetas to fight.
Castillians/ Conquistadors- the elites/ the metal prophets. They came into the Philippines for three things- God, Gold and Glory. The castillians are mestizos, whose facial features are most precise and sharp to the smallest details. Castillians are revered for their armory and defense.
Unique Castillian Feature: The weaponry. Solo weapons are great, but once you have a party, battle could be on-ground, and privilege canons would be dispatched. On-sea battles are also a great feature of this game. However, it would take much preparation for a guild to form their own ship (ships and weaponry could be purchased from the online store/ by virtual pesos)
Chino- the merchants. They came in to use the Philippine’s natural resources, and at the same time, trade precious materials. They, in laymen’s terms, are the main characters who control business and trade ingame. Their fighting skills are more on physical attacks with the use of non other but their bodies- weaponry are limited, but would cause great damage. Most skills are on defense.
Unique Chino Feature: The trade system. No other race could join in the commerce unless they pay the Chinese. This sounds unfair at first, but it has other quirks. Like in real life, business systems may fail, and the Chinese has to defend their market from other investors, importers and exporters
The Maharlikas- the balancers. (more information to be added)
The Indios- (more information to be added)
Unique Skills For All!
“We have the Trash Talk feature.” Says Tse, while laughing. “Everyone loves to do that, anyway! Here, as your character’s level increases, your trash talking capacity also increases. You could input up to 10 custom (unchangeable) trash talk phrases to taunt your enemies. If you want more, you may purchase our consumable trash talk bin where in you could input over 50 more taunts, which would be added in game for a month.”
But is real trash talking allowed?
“No” says Losano. “Anything profane in all other language wouldn’t be displayed on the panel, unless, if it is an inputted trash talk. Basically, if you’re from another race, too, you won’t be able to read on what the other race is talking about. Only the “trade, challenge, provoke and kill options are there.”
“The game is for mature people only” says Zamora. In game features also involve co-habiting, love making, and baby making. “However, babies here don’t grow up to adults. They could be kids, yes, but to have them visible, you would have to summon them as an ‘offspring’ (pet on other games).
Battle could be on ground, on water, or under water. Ground battle involves environment- there is a very complex, yet simple environment where players could use trees as defense, et al. “We are naturalists then. We didn’t have much say on defense and offense, but we had mother nature, and the anitos- now, that makes the battle more interesting.”
“We have the ‘Tansuan’ system. The Philippines is a very rich mining field. Whoever wins the “HEROES’ WAR” gets a chance to mine for two hours on a designated place.” The feature, according to Losano, had been used in other games though.
“What’s great about this game is its elaborate Filipino theme- from characters, to soundtracks to even the maps and locations itself!” The game presents an elaborate Philippine territory map, with its hills, seas, lakes, streams, etc. “We also feature Filipino wildlife, especially, when characters are off to the woods.”
A question on the game’s treatment on animals was once raised by pro-PETA gamers who anticipate its release. “No live animal was killed during planning and implementation.”
“The gameplay itself is very Filipino.” Monsters range from aswangs, to tianaks, to kapres and nunos. Other monster involve the La Chupacabra, and the Filipino-spanish version of the Lochness. “There are many more- we incorporated here monsters from Chinese, Islam, Spanish and Filipino mythology!” PS: Ambisyon ko lang to. Bow. Wala pang ganito. Bow. Pero kaya to gawin sa flash. Bow. Alice "Yeye" Zamora is derived from my name. >=P Bill Losano, from Bowie's Name Yu Tse, from Vince. =)) Friends come and go.
Enemies arrive, then they either flee or die in your hands.
Nothing could prevent the cycle- coming, and going.
We come and go.
We arrive on other people's lives, then we either flee, or they shoo us away.
Nothing could prevent this cycle-coming, and going.
And it's up to us/you/me to stand still, or sway, or remain free-floating.

I Question PETA
I understand that PETA is one of the fastest growing non-profit organizations. I also understand that its propaganda/teachings are not to be underestimated. It’s all over the world, scaring/lecturing adults and children alike.
I understand that PETA wanted to save animals and liberate them from any form of torture or suffering induced by humans.
What I don’t understand is… why so much issue?
If an organization really establishes itself purely for good reasons, then, why are there some bad, even criminal records which could make one flinch?
WWW.PETAKILLSANIMALS.COM
I am a bit gullible, I admit- that was way back when I believe that KFC kills their chickens by torture (what PETA said was an exaggeration), that animals have souls (aka, the ‘Nazii propaganda’), that god forbade humans to eat meat (I read the bible, and au contraire).
What I am agreeing with PETA is that, animals, should not be, in any way, hurt or tortured for leisure purposes. I am against leisure hunting, against “sabong” or whatever, I am against all sorts of animal torture.
SEE THIS FUCKING CHINESE GIRL
I am against animal abuse.
BUT I am also against brainwashing, lies, exaggeration, and what PETA calls “freeing animals/liberating their tortured souls via euthanasia” With an issue this big/widespread, why CAN’T PETA give a straight answer? They even say that they killed those animals due to mercy, but those animals, according to documentaries, are healthy, and highly trainable.
FINE, let me address the things I mentioned.
KFC killing/torturing its chickens. Well, that’s the way life is. How else could chickens die? If PETA were to come here in the Philippines and see local barrios/market places, they’d gag to death. YES, there are more ‘civil’ ways of killing the chicken. KFC doesn’t DIRECTLY kill their chicken. They have a supplier, for chrissakes. Should PETA’s accusations be true, they should take action on the SUPPLIER, not on the FOOD CHAIN.
Animals have souls, and killing animals is just like Nazism. It was never stated in the bible. (PETA says they are pro-bible, if not pro-christian). Killing animals is just like the holocaust. Oh really? YES, many of them died… for a purpose- FOOD! Consumption! Clothes! For human survival! Oh NO, humans aren’t selfish. Indeed, we use them for our survival. But removing the ‘human’ factor and considering the circle of life, animals eat other animals- not due to greed, but, for survival as well. So there. Please be reminded that the HOLOCAUST is due to pure wrath and sadism- it killed the Jews, fellow Germans, Asians, Africans, Americans, and other races due to Hitler’s command because he was power-hungry. It was pure lust for power, anger, hatred, racism. Hitler didn’t need to kill those people to survive, so really, I question PETA on their ‘comparison’. It’s far-fetched.
God doesn’t want humans to eat meat? The bible answers that. Genesis 9:3-4: Bawat gumagalang hayop na buhay ay magiging pagkain para sa inyo.Gaya ng luntiang pananim, ibinibigay kong lahat iyon sa inyo. Tanging ang laman na kasama ang kaluluwa nito- ang dugo nito- ang wag ninyong kakainin. In English, “Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.” In there, they said, THE BLOOD is the one to be avoided, NOT the MEAT itself. Another translation… And every thing that moveth, and liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green herbs have I delivered them all to you: Saving that flesh with blood you shall not eat. In this translation, once again, MEAT is allowed. BLOOD isn’t. GREEN HERBS (vegetables) are allowed. SO THAT’S A CHECK! We, humans, are supposed to be omnivores. I am well-aware that God hated Cain BECAUSE of his ‘intentions’ and lack of ‘zealousness’ in sacrificing. But what did God favor more? Abel’s sheep (meat)? Or Cain’s salad (lol, veggies.). Now, you may say, that during Jesus’ last supper, they ate unleavened bread. True. BUT WAIT, there’s more. Remember when Jesus fed thousands of people? DID HE SERVE SALAD? Veggies? NO. He broke bread and multiplied it to many pieces. And what’s with bread? FISH. Would any ‘vegetarian’/’vegan’/’we-must-not-eat-animals-person’ serve an ‘animal’ to thousands of people? I guess that’s a hearty no. UNLESS, vegetarians/vegans are only prohibited to use/eat animals. They are allowed to serve it to others. That is, my friend, just a thought. *breathe breathe breathe* Arson. Yes, I’ve subscribed to PETA, even had PETA-supporting friends. And they (PETA) are SOOO promoting it. Burn down the barn yards, make Monterey close, threaten meat-producing suppliers- okay, these are just words, but DON’T THEY KNOW THEIR PERSUASIVE CAPACITY? There are incidents in the US which are caused by PETA. PETA is actually one of the top ACTIVIST GROUPS that the FBI is watching and monitoring closely. Being vegetarian/vegan is cool huh? WELL, IT IS, for some. It gives you a sense of DISCIPLINE, and a sense of full-control over your life. It may give one a ‘clean conscience’, and I respect vegetarians/vegans the way I want to be respected as well. However, they should not think of themselves as the ‘food chain’ aristocrats. Pantay-pantay lang tayong tao. Hindi lahat ng vegetarian/vegan na hindi pumapatay ng hayop para sa kung anumang rason ay siguradong aakyat sa langit/mapupunta sa Paraiso. Meat-eaters, what PETA calls “animal terrorists” are to be respected as well. Why? They ENJOY LIFE. They appreciate what GOD had given them. Hindi lahat ng pumapatay sa mga hayop para sa pagkain, o sa kung ano mang rason ay mapupunta sa Hades. PETA uses religion as a ‘strong back-up’ for their facts, but really, they should’ve read enough. (I almost forgot, on the time of Moses, God sent quails to serve as meal to the rambling people- and those people died. This doesn’t mean that any fowl is discriminated by god, etc. It’s just used to punish the people. That doesn’t make fowl meat any less significant for healthy living. God used the snake to ensnare Eve. But that doesn’t make animals bad. Jesus ate unleavened bread- but that doesn’t make him ‘vegan’ because that bread has no animal products, salt or whatever- remember, he attended festivities, and in those times, meat was highly eaten. Hindi uso ang vegetarian/vegan noon. Any other biblical-related arguments? Bring it on, I’ve done some research amd I’m willing to do more. =) It’s just a matter of giving respect. PETA should not ‘force’ or ‘brainwash’ people to avoid meat, ‘meat eaters’ should not bash PETA for ‘eating grass’. THIS post is NOT INTENDED to BASH PETA-supporters. I am questioning, NOT HUMILIATING, the organization itself. So bear with me. PS: I am a PETA member. I am also semi-vegetarian. But I am not pro-activism. I believe in some of their healthy-living tips, and on their mission to save animals from being used as target practices. What I don’t believe in are their exaggerated statements which really have no factual bearing. People, the youth, specially, should not freak out. They should not be easily convinced. They should not pressure themselves from avoiding the meaty, juicy pleasures of life. They should do more research before immersing themselves into such strong influences. I have a brother. He is 13 years old.
He is funny, funnier at times- he laughs at almost about everything. He is a typical, short 13-year old, standing just below my nose. We have the short genes, so there, go blame it. When he was in grade 6, he had a girlfriend. They loved each other much, yes, much, but no, they didn't do adult stuff. They held hands, hugged, kissed, kissed on each other's lips, and whispered words of romance and marriage. They were but grade 6 students, all of 12 years old, all blooming and full of hope and love. They went on for a year- him, the humble, smiling, short guitarist; while she's, the tall, model, singer-dancer-writer-pianist-all-stepford-girl-who's-being-adored-by-many. They broke up days after the graduation- her mom didn't like her precious star dating a humble peasant. They parted ways, she, burning the line to ashes, my brother, steadily, foolishly holding on to the other end. A year almost elapsed, my brother moving on after the heart ache and such. He went back to his love for laughing and guitaring, she confined herself to the most private, most distant school of schools. And he found a new one. She was bright, her smile was as bright as the full moon's moonlight, her hair as natural as the color of the fields, her height- well, as usual, she's towering on him. She was all of fourteen- a year older, yes. She played the piano, knowing much of it, she sang, she did gymnastics and ballet, she plays soccer, volleyball, she excels at cheer dancing, religious- with the same god as my brother's- she's all of youth, with the added accent of money power, fabulous fashion and her parent's attention- she is an only child. Yet, my humble brother penetrated her self-loving heart, and she grew obsessed, my brother equally engrossed. She was captivated by his carefree, fun loving nature, and excessive attention, he was heart-stolen by her smile. They shared mutual affection, and found no barriers except that of tradition/religion: no holding hands, et al., until old enough to marry. He was once again the bard, and she's the muse. And here goes, the usual, telenovelic twist:
Paano kung ang nakaraan ay muling humabol sa kasalukuyan? Ano ang gagawin ng pusong nais nang malimot ang kahapon?
With an odd twist of fate, it happened, in a snap. Faster than the speed of light. The past's best friend and only confidante is the present's cousin. And here it goes, the usual, telenovelic twist:
Time machine: You know, you and someone else I know share a lot of things in common.
Present: Really? Who is she?
Time machine: The past...
And yes, the present rode the time machine and went back to the past, until they mirrored each other. Present: Hello there, Time Machine said we shared a lot of things in common.
Past: Oh, really? I wonder what. But maybe we could be friends.
Present: YES! We'd be great friends! I have great hair, fair skin....
Bottom line is, they loved the same guy fiercely, deeply, passionately. And the saga continues.
What is my brother to do?
He deleted everything way back- he deleted his comments to his past, removed his friendster account, changed his number, everything. He made new miracles for the future, where they both shared messages of care, love, and promises. But now, he's caught red-handed. Oh, what is a 13-year old to do?
Your comments would be greatly appreciated~! I've been inspired lately, and whew, totoo, mas nakaka-accomplish ako pag nagmumulti-task. XD Maybe it's because I'm 'depressed' or 'frustrated' lately, I dunno. Anyway... I'm inspired, in a week's time, I've finished a lot. BUZINESS namin, seryoso...

Two Towers (violin, CM)- Kyn kasi. XDDDD Paulit ulit lang, it's not fun to play nymore. Onti nalang. Oo may ugali akong ningas-kugon pag tinamad na... kaya wag niyo ako tamarin... KELAN PRAKTIS?! XDDD GMA Network,I am highly disappointed at the lack of professionalism your crew exhibited during the December 31 airing of La Lola.I am curious: did you have any animal handling experts around during the shoot? Weren't you aware of the proper handling of rabbits? My family patronizes most of your shows, and La Lola is one of my family member's top picks ( I am not a fan of watching TV however, chance lead me to seeing the December 31 episode). However, no matter how short the scene was, it completely disappointed me. I know, this is a very minor issue- for you maybe, and for most viewers- but for animal lovers, those well aware of proper animal care, this is a big deal! I am not an expert- I just happen to know most facts on rabbit care because I have one, and I love him like dear life. And it just so happens that mishandling MAY parallel to cruelty. Case # 1: Mishandling of rabbits:Note that YOU didn't use a FAKE rabbit in this scene, no sir, it was real- I saw it move, it wasn't a mechanical rabbit. It's a real rabbit. And it was handled improperly. Magicians pulling out rabbits from hats by their ears are big idiots- it's way improper- they should be handled by pulling the soft part at their nape- their loose fur. To support this statement, kindly visit http://www.mnstate.edu/iacuc/rabbits.cfm. If it is insufficient still, kindly do more research and enlighten me. I've been in magic for 3 years now, and I've encountered magicians handling rabbits as well- and they DON'T pull them using their ears- they don't want the rabbit to get hurt. The rabbit (Oreng) may have been calm during the shoot, but I wonder, were there any takes? Nagpumiglas ba siya? Those instances may cause severe pain and damage to its backbone! And it was televised- improper handling, televised. Slips may have been tolerated, but, I'm 'pffted'- not from a well-known, reputable station like you~ Case # 2: Showing violence/cruelty against animals.I know, this complaint is very very ignorable. BUT really... kindly see Article 19, Section 489.3.iv further states that the provincial or city veterinarian shall: "Enforce all laws and regulations for the prevention of cruelty to animals". I understand that you chose to use a fake knife to 'threaten' the rabbit- but then, simply showing it (may) cause a lot of eyebrow-raising from those concerned in animal welfare. PAWS, I suppose, would be disappointed at this 'mistreatment'. I understand, this is TV. It's part of the story, part of the script, but please do understand- you are handling something alive and breathing.Hurting animals, though for the most entertainment purposes, is futile and downright appalling.
A concerned, animal-loving citizen;
Vanessa It is the 31st of December, and in a few more hours, it would be a new year for all of mankind. I don't know why people care to celebrate another year with lots of pleasantries- my family doesn't- but hey, I thought, why not?
No, I do not plan to celebrate, but I plan to look back, and foresee.
To the people who had always been there(=P), but here, in my heart, I thank you all.
For what?
For the friendship, mostly. For giving me a sense of importance and responsibility.
For giving me a family I could run to when my own won't function in accordance to what I need.
For giving me thoughts to ponder on, no matter how futile.
For giving me the world, and taking away the world for me.
For inspiring.
For riding along my surfs and surges, no matter how idiotic.
For giving, and forgiving.
For taking, and teaching to forgive.
For being real. Omnipresent. Super real. For being oblivious to my misdoings and appreciative of my accomplishments. Or whatever floats your boat.
For understanding, and helping to understand.
For giving me a life that I definitely would enjoy and for giving me your life for me to try to make enjoyable.
For, this is understated, for existing in my world, and for letting me dwell in yours.
As this year's page turns to an end, and a new chapter begins, I am hoping, wishing, longing for a continuous, fruitful relationship with all of you, continued, maintained- if not better.
Thank you, all of you.
Life is not perfect. These hard-up times make living worse.
But gems like you, ladies, gents, and half-ladies, and half-gents, you make each day worth living.
... YET from the deepest evil springs beauty eternal.

She sighed. How many more days, weeks, months... years? Her thoughts flew away. And alas, from a distance, she could see him. Finally. Yet, it was nothing but a mirage. She looked down to weep, but decided not to- tears are futile. She continued to look far away, searching. He said, 'forever'. But, really... it's impossible. And even if it is...
Forever means nothing without you.
