Safety is unsure...

Nowadays, when technology can make anyone a criminal, safety can never be assured. In the Internet, you can never be sure of your privacy. You will never know when will your identity details have reached someone who is planning to kill you. You may never tell when someone called you, pretending to be a friend who is in the hospital and needs money for the medication, but just wanted to fool you without you knowing it.

We are not that perfect in voice recognition. Who knows, this criminal will also target your child, mother, sister, or friend as the next victim. Who knows, he or she will not only get your money but also your or their lives. As we can see, anyone can be easily fooled and the best thing to do is to prevent this.

If only there is a speech recognition software that can help us prevent such circumstances, life may be safer. As human, we are capable of making mistakes but if we make a software that can do speech recognition, then such problems can be avoided.

Valentine's Day Blues...

It is not true that only singles are alone during this day... There are also people who have loved ones but are not by their side. It is not easy for anyone to just sit back, relax and enjoy the moment looking at those sweet love birds who just came out of their cage, while you know you can't even experience that same excitement they had. Well, that is the sad part of being in a long distance relationship. You can not even look for a substitute date, you may but me, I would not even dare. Yet you can still have other options to ease that sadness in your eyes...

Hang out with your family. They miss you more than you do... Or you can call your friends and plan for a party at your house or outside. Spend the day without thinking that you are unlucky not to have your man around. At the end of the day, call him or chat with him. It may be a bit sad to see him but it can ease your loneliness, that somehow, it is not only you who is fighting the battle of misery. Enjoy yourselves and feel the moment, like you are face-to-face with him and distance is just a mindset.

Maybe these things will work. But mind you, there is no way that you should hide and lock yourself just because your date is not around. Love is in the air, this air may be a thousand miles away....

Miss No Good Last Episode

The Taiwanese drama series Miss No Good just finished its story in its 14th episode. Xiao Ha's hair went back to its natural curls and so she also went to back to her original fashion taste... the girl who dresses like a Christmas tree that she have to wear all sorts of colors. Jia Si Le went to Germany and asked Tang Men to go back to Taiwan for Xiao Ha. Xiao Ha was on her way home when she rode in a cab and suprised to find out that a guy had called that cab first. She was not surprised because someone had called it, instead she was surprised to recognize that familiar voice from a bad tongue. She saw Tang Men and they recalled the first encounter they had. Tan Men bought an apartment because he wanted to marry her. After the contract of five years, he will return to Taiwan and they will be together forever. Giang Mi and Si Le will be married. The story ended with Xiao Ha and Tang Men riding on Xiao Ha's scooter with their pajamas on the streets. There was a flashback of their funny and sad moments... It was fantastic...

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the sixth book of J.K. Rowling. I was expecting this movie to be released on November 2008. However, to our dismay, it was not released. I was wondering what happened. I just saw the new trailer, I don't have any idea why they changed the release date and even the trailer. Anyway, I just hope that it will still be fantastic and superb. This will be in theaters on July 17, 2009. Here are some of the pictures and the new trailer...

Christmas in the Air

It was last September 1 when I realized that Christmas is coming. My friend was the first one to greet me since it was already a -ber month. Now, it is already December and I can hear Christmas songs and caroling of children in the streets. Lanterns, Christmas Tree, nativity and other decorations are all around. As I woke up this morning, it was already six but the sky was still dark and it was very cold. I even had to wear jacket in going to class.

Every time the Christmas is coming, I usually feel excited especially that I can finally go home after six months of waiting here in the dormitory. I miss my family and friends. Last year, we had our high school reunion and it was fun and memorable. It was such a rare moment to see almost all of your classmates after being apart for years or months. Most of them grew to be different from those high school teens that we were. I am indeed excited to see them again when I go home.

I usually smile each time I remember my Christmas with my family. We are busy during this season because of our business to the extent that we do not have enough energy to celebrate. Still, the important thing is we are together during holidays. Unlike in my birthday that I have to celebrate it with my friends here and the last time I had my birthday at home was when I was 16.

Christmas is the birthday of Jesus...Let us all be happy and prepare for his coming. Spread the love in the air...
