bumped around today, did nothing much essentially.. alanna you look GREAT with you short hair, maybe short (hehe) of kirsten dunst, but still great nonetheless. actually i haven't been particularly free, and i am feeling kinda guilty cos i haven't been doing much homework. oki i admit, i haven't done any. been busying myself with stuff like hanging out with friends, going for my cca and doing alot of other stuff...

i was browsing through the times magazine, and was pretty shocked and upset over this particular article. nahz its not so much about pakistan and india, they have been fighting since eons ago and peace will never prevail until one of the old dying folk dies. it was this article about this sailor that made history when he sailed across pacific ocean 2 decades back on somee primitive boat (i think it is reed or prypus or something like that). he tried to sail the same road again earlier this year and was shocked at how much the ocean has changed, he said that there was so much rubbish, plastic bottles, cans, bags, amongst others; the water has become very sticky to the extent of feeling slickish. he said that it was so contaminated that he and the sailors don't even dare to dip their toothbrush in the water sometimes. isn't it sad how fast we are destroying the environment. in a span of 20 years, or 50 since industrailisation, we have altered the face of the earth more than the 4.6 billion years, and none of the change is reversible. goodness. can we progress without harming the earth?
