Michael Jackson is dead...and a lot of bloggers in the blogosphere are blogging about him just to get traffic. So sad... Even though MJ had his own share of faults, he was a person and a music icon a lot of people look up to.
I don't want to write much. My heart aches because almost every song he sang since he was a kid is a part of my life soundtrack.
I need a working turntable... time to dust off those classic Jackson 5 LPs...
Rest in peace Jacko... your spirit and music will live on...
What would you do if a guy draws 56 stars on your face and you won't be able to rub them off with soap and water? That's the sad fate of Belgian teenager Kimberley Vlaeminck who sued the tattoo artist who put too much stars on her face.
The eighteen year old said she only wanted three stars on her face but she happened to doze off during the process. She woke up in pain when the tattoo guy started to put stars on her nose. She was surprised that the guy turned her face into a galaxy!
The tattoo artist said that the teenager agreed to have fifty-six stars tattooed on her face but only complained when she went home and her father got mad with what happened.
What should we learn from this young woman's experience? If you want a tattoo, better make it clear with the artist what you want, how big do you want it and how many do you want of it. It is also very important to never fall asleep while you are getting yourself inked!
My grandfather suffered a stroke last year and since then there had been many changes in his life.He is not his usual self who goes to town whenever he feels like it and do whatever he feels like doing.His stroke changed him; he used to be quick moving yet now he has become a slow, cane-holding old guy.Sometimes he needs to be followed around but there are times when he wants to be his usual independent self and goes around by himself.
My grandfather’s condition worries most of us in the family.What if he goes around by himself and falls off from a flight of stairs or slips on wet pavement?How would he call for help if no one is around?
I happened to stumble upon medical alarm devices which help a lot of elderly people abroad and I wish it is available here.The alarm is composed of two devices one is for the home and the other one is a GPS tracking bracelet that the elderly can wear.
The medical alarm home device has a fall alert detector that alerts emergency personnel that the elderly person has fallen or in an emergency situation and can’t even push a button to ask for help.The other device, the GPS tracking bracelet, is equipped with a 2-way speakerphone that the elderly can use like a cellular phone and use it to all for help.It can also be used to track down elderly who can’t remember their way home or who got lost.
Technology has made the lives of the elderly and their families easier.I could only wish that we can get my grandfather a medical alarm kit so that we will be assured that he is safe and well.
It was in February of 2008 when the news broke out about a man who created an F1 car from almost a million match sticks. I know this post may seem stale because it is nothing new but I love the handiwork of the guy that's why it's on my blog!
Anyway, Michael Arndt of Germany used 956,000 match sticks to make a Formula One car. It took him thousands of hours for more than six years to make such a masterpiece. He used 1,686 tubes of glue to put the sticks together in order to create the life-size F1 model. He spent a total of £4,500 on the said project.
Creativity and patience can make a person do great things.
Are you creative and patient enough to do great stuff?
These swirls of colors may seem vibrant and happy at first glance but in reality the vibrancy of the colors is chimerical---UNREAL... Not all things in this world are what they seem...
I made and sold this painting in February 2006. I don't know where it is right now but the buyer said she'll be sending it to her then newlywed daughter in the US. I wish the girl and her spouse a good marriage... something real... something not chimerical...
I remember the good old days when I was still a kid and a TV addict—I used to watch shows most kids my age didn’t watch.One of my favorite shows during prime time was Mission: Impossible.I had been amazed with the show because of the unusual missions of the characters and the thrilling, explosive scenes. Some of the extraordinary stuff in M:I included the characters’ disguises, the ways and means they searched for clues and solved puzzles, and the out-of-this-world gadgets they used to accomplish their missions.
As far as I can remember of the show, one of the most amazing things I’ve seen were portals with keyless locks.Main characters and villains alike passed through doors without using keys but just pressed their fingers on a scanner and they were allowed access.For many years I thought such things were impossible and would never exist in real life, little did I know there are people who strive to make those bizarre things a reality.
If and when I’m going to build my own home, I think I should make it secure by using a keyless lock on each door of my abode.I want a modern home and it would be interesting to use modern stuff not only for security reasons but for practical reasons too!I wouldn’t have to worry about losing my house keys for as long as my finger is with me, I can enter my house!
I know a couple of decades ago technology had been pretty laid back and having a keyless lock for one’s home may have been impossible.Here and now in the twenty-first century almost anything is possible.Almost anybody can get almost anything done, seems to me we really are finally catching up with the stuff in Mission: Impossible!
