it's so sad that this is actually happening to a lot of Canadians. and more so when the government apparently has no intention to fix it.

i may not understand the depth of their despair, as i've never bought stock before simply because i've never had a job stable enough to get one. but i can understand that years and years worth of savings being used to pay something you never earned is beyond frustrating.

hey guys~ weather's getting better and it's barbecue season again. here's a little timely article :D

so i guess bottomline it, it's not like we shouldn't eat barbecue anymore. but cut down a little, and don't overdo the cooking.

that's all for now. i'm off to watch more 07-Ghost ♥

there have been WAY too many to record of this same mistake. but people just never learn. especially those in position.

why is it so hard for people to listen until it's too late?

or in this case, they still refuse to listen even after it's been too late??

when did i start feeling everything i do is an obligation

when did i stop doing things because i want to and started doing them because i had to

why do i feel like even doing productive things doesn't make me feel accomplished

when did i stop feeling fulfilled at the exact same things i did before that easily gave me that feeling

why do i feel like everyone around me is only nice in front of me and no matter what i do, there'll always be something wrong or missing

when did i become so frustrated about time moving too fast as if every single day is never enough to do the things i have to do and so little room for things i want to do, so much so i've started getting tired of things i want to do to the point of finding it annoying and just letting it go altogether

my parents are pressuring me to get a driver's license. for some reason, i keep stalling. i know it's because i don't have the confidence i'll pass.

actually, ever since that little incident at my first job here, i keep feeling like i'll fail at everything. that i'll keep making mistakes. and that everyone treats me like an idiot because everyone around me are judgemental people who revel in feeling superior over others.

i know thinking this way is over-generalizing, but really, who wouldn't? after getting fired and being given the reason "you just don't fit in."

this one is not surprising at all... but still very sad and alarming. i almost cried when i saw the penguin T__T

This continent was 'immune' to climate change - until now


this one, on the other hand, is really amusing XD i say "Good job, aka-chan!"


Eleven-month-old boy accidentally dials 9-1-1 and gets dad arrested

A South Florida college student killed himself by overdosing on drugs in front of a live online audience as some computer users egged him on, some debated his method, and others tried to talk him out of it.

the news artcile didn't bother me as much as this tiny phrase did:

...as some computer users egged him on

i can't fathom how a normal, psychologically fit and conscientious person- no, a human being- could stomach to do that. to say it's disturbing would be an understatement.

the makers of Xbox, MySpace and YouTube probably- no, definitely- never meant for this to happen. but it did.

"...A typical teenager, fighting with his parents. The Xbox is taken away and Brandon says he's leaving and never coming back..."

"...A Missouri woman established a fake identity online to torment a vulnerable teenage girl who later committed suicide..."

and perhaps the most disturbing among the three...

"...This father decided not only to let his toddler into a fight, he decided to videotape it. And then, posted it on youtube for the world to see...."

this should really start to tell us something. blame it on technology. blame it on not having enough time. blame it on society. blame it on whatever you want to blame on. bottomline is, those are not the problem. they're just symptoms. the real problem is the "It has nothing to do with me anyway." attitude.

anyway, it gets pretty exhausting when all you read in the papers are bad news. that's why i always read David Suzuki's corner. it reminds me that there are still people in the world who aren't ashamed- or worse, find it "uncool"- to do good.

I love how he so accurately sees the core reason why, even after years and years of research and warnings from leading scientists, we still have not resolved a problem more serious and urgent the downsloping international economy and the pointless wars everywhere.

"...The problem with making major inroads on the climate challenge is not a lack of solutions; it is a lack of will..."

"...Using a cellphone while driving could mean up to a $500 fine in Ontario under a proposed law..."

i say we implement it not just here but all over the world XD
