President elects promise war be over...

The recent President elects to me are basing most of their speeches on "I will end this war for it has to end by next year." Technically will it be that easy to end a war? Well through research it took longer than 5 years to end wars. For example the Vietnam War Started in 1959 and ending in 1975 about a 16 year War. Now in my opinion, when war starts in one area, and that area needs help of course as Americans they should help. If surrounding countries seek help as well then of course as an American I would want to help them out as well. Coming from a background of Filipina and my mom coming from a 3rd world country, of course I would want to America or American soldiers to help out different countries who need the help. The current Iraq war was suppose to be only interfering with Iraq only. Because of suspicions of Osama Bin Laden being in Afghanistan then troops where sent to Afghanistan but the culture shock of treatment of women made a big shock on soldiers and Americans. Based on traveling and news, the whole World needs help in terms of Wars. For not every country is going to get along with another or have the same thoughts as one. Where ever there needs help, help should be given. Wars don't end that easy...

Easter early this year..


This Easter it seems to be earlier than any other year. Can it be because of it being a leap year!? Well usually Easter would land in April but this year it seem to land in March. Don't ask me why its by the churches calculations of how long Lent (time of giving something up) would be. Easter is different in other countries where as in America we celebrate with Egg hunts and Sunday mass. The tradition of Easter Egg is the part usually for the children while Easter egg decoration is for adults. Easter is one of the Religious holidays which consist of many days of worship or days of certain parts or in simply words "Holy Week". Like the start of the Holiday, Lent where someone chooses something to give up for the 6 weeks. Which I gave up rice and still going strong! Then there is a Palm Sunday where the recievement of palm are given to be blessed. Then there is Good Friday where it lands on the Friday before Easter. That's usually when in some countries the sacrifice of themselves through Crucifixion. Then there's Easter. Simply a celebration through 3 months.

Shootings at Universities...

Recently there has been shootings at a couple of Universities which ended up with victims dead. I just have that question, of how can a person do that action of killing people, and for what exact reasons. Based on interviews from news, Illness has to be a big part in why people had chooses those paths. In Washington at Foss High school a student was shoot several times by a non-student who was thought to be incorporated with a gang, but later on was said to be suffering from a mental illness. The student from Virginia tech who had conducted the Virginia Tech Massacre was as well said that he had an anxiety disorder since middle school which could of been the trigger to his actions on April 16, 2007. The shootings at schools are becoming more common. So I want to end with a question: "Why would anybody think of such a thing?"

Terror Attacks not only in the States...

I had read an article about an attempt terror attack in China, and it left me with the thought that the United States isn't the only one suffering with fear. Found on the online news on ABS-CBN a source from the Philippine entertainment, it had reported on how there was an attempt terrorist attack in Beijing China. They had no idea who the people as well with the fear of it being just anybody, as well as their own people. The suspension of Islam Uighurs based in China were responsible but is still in questioning. Based on this Article I'm trying to show that we are not the only one who are suffering well we aren't even suffering. Other countries as well experience even more violence. The violence that basically every other 3rd or 2nd world country experiences.

Blog thoughts on Internet future..

This is to comment on Andrew Fry's blog based on the happenings of the Web. His understanding of the rapid change in computers and it technology is supported with his own work and various peoples as well. One of the books that I had read was exactly about the same topic, about the evolution about computers and Internet. The Book's called, "Arguing A.I." by Sam Williams. The time and work that is put into researching of how the revolution of computers and Internet took a lot for researchers. So the work that Andrew Fry had done was basically what every researcher does. They are trying to figure out what and when new things will happen.
