Immortality: yes or no

What if, one day in the future, humans who died are not literally dead. The living could still have their loved ones present in a different form, but still alive. Uploading consciousness onto a computer has been an idea thrown around quite a lot these day. We can no longer have to imagine what that looks like, because recently there's a movie made just about that. It's called Transcendence. I used to love any movie with Johnny Depp in it. But now, in this particular movie, it's like they're force feeding us this idea that human consciousness can be uploaded to a computer and enter the internet as an ethical move. It made me despise Depp. They're using him to tell us this absurd and disgusting idea of not letting the dead stay dead. They're trying to tell us that immortality is an achievable target, leaving behind the ethical question whether we should or should not do it. The leading lady played well as a distraught widow who just lost her husband. Let me j...

Poor vs Rich

Have you ever wonder what it feels like to own everything you have ever wanted? I have never experienced it personally. Small elation for achieving things I am able to do, yes. But never felt as if I owned the world. To be honest, I am quite afraid to know what it feels like. I might be arrogant to other humans and to the God if I am. That is why probably God never gave me something more than I bargained for. And yes, I do believe that he knows better. But I bet some people have felt that way. Some people whose weddings costs more than my family makes for a whole year, for those who eat expensive food at six star hotels, who slept on satin covered pillow, snoring their problems away within a room which bills could easily feed a group of school children and bought them all their academic needs for all the time they would be having at that school, and people who travels in private planes whilst others were counting whether the only remaining two dollars in their torn out wallet would be...

What would you do?

Imagine One day, you woke up and it's apocalypse day What would you do? Would you find a safe haven for yourself Or would you help the ones in need and find your safe haven Together If apocalypse doesn't claim your life Would you sit in the cave Alive Or would you go outside Find the solutions you need Whatever source of life and save whatever you can salvage Even if it means Death? We wouldn't know what we would do Today Because you and me We have what we need We don't have a care of what happens elsewhere Imagine What's happening in the war worlds Happen to you What would you do? *send help, or prayers. both works fine.

Another one. When will it end?

Hello. I guess you've heard about the helicopter crash involving the national VIPs. I'm not going to discuss on the rumors you may or may not have catch swirling about. I want to offer my sincere condolences to the family affected by this. These people, whom we barely know were told to have been given their tremendous effort in helping the established government. I do not care what they have or have not done before, all I care is no one is supposed to leave the world like that. No one should. Doesn't matter how bad they are. Even less if they're good.  Honestly, this country should crank up its security systems so that this would not happen again. On the other hand, if things are going to happen, it's going to happen anyway regardless of what we do. Whatever it is, even if it does happen, we need to know why and how it happens just so we could design some sort of preventive measure for safety.  I hate tragedies. I hope it would end. 

'When will you get married?'

Hello. As a 25 (denying adamantly I'm 26 this year) year old girl, I'm quite lucky I don't get asked this question a lot since I look a lot like a minor. Strangers often call me out as a high school kid, and on a bad day, a 12 year old. However, my extended family do know how old I really am. And I get this question from them. Although I don't exactly mind them asking, I would love for them to consider themselves in my place. I mean, I'm 25, I don't have a boyfriend much less a candidate for a husband, and I'm living with my parents. Who doesn't want to get married? To have that one person who would go through everything with me (I hope he does want me to get really involved in his life too *wink*) and make it to our old days, sitting at the front porch yelling at kids to stop stepping onto our lawn. hehe But seriously though, I don't expect a marriage full of perfect stories like in the dramas, but I hope to get this person that doesn't...

Life of a university graduate

Hey hey.. It's been 4 months since I graduated. I didn't go to the convocation ceremony due to lack of expenses and the time was just wrong for me. I did go to my twin's convocation day though. Don't think I can handle being in a room full of people, and walk on stage receiving my scroll with everyone's eyes on me. I might misstep and faceplant. However, that's all in the past. This is my life now. I don't have a job yet. Did fill a few applications for forester's position at a local research center. And I have a part time job of sub teaching which still has not call me for another gig. Filling my time by doing other people's assignments and got paid quite well per paper. I do house chores religiously or by request. And I'm bored out of my wits. My constant companions has been this blog, my phone, the few lame games in there, the internet, and the good ol' television. Other than that, I act as the lady-in-waiting for my mom and dad. Ju...

Hijab - Cover or not to cover?

Assalamualaikum.. I'm here because I have something in my mind. Something so essential that some people overlooked and torn a few hearts. Something that shouldn't even an issue- and now it's an issue. Hijab- Cover or not to cover Recently, we have been plagued by this question, what is the suitable hijab length for a government body? One government body (not in particular to any government body) chose to hand out a weird looking hijab for the use of its officials. How weird is this hijab? Well, the front is quite long as it reached below the navel. However, the width of this front section is what baffles some. It only covers the middle section of the chestal area while the proper hijab will cover the chestal area and should be as wide as the owner prefers them to be. Now, the back. Even worse. I doesn't even reach the middle of one's back. If it flaps in the wind, men walking by could get a glimpse of your hair which is supposedly inside! What's worse...
