So did she win?

Wow...What is up with all that Fuss!?

So after everyone ranting and raving about this book, and now that the pressure is on that the movie is coming out...I finally decided that I would crack open this book and see what the fuss is all about.
Wow...so I decided I will read at lunch since I have fewer lunch buddies these days :( poor meeee...

This is better than a movie. I love historical stories, references, and connections. This book brings it together with suspense! I could hardly put this book down. The last time I was this hooked I read Les Miserables...
On the other hand, I'm not sure if making a movie out of The Dav Vinci Code will be a great idea. Movies usually don't do the book any justice. (I was totally disapointed with Les Miserables the musical after reading the book, what a rip off).

Gosh, so if you haven't read this, READ IT (it may spoil the movie for you though ahahhaha). If you choose not to just play the game and win cool prizes....ahahahhaha

Play the Da Vinci Code Game by Google

I better get goin...I need to hurry and finish this book before the movie opens!?! Yikes...

Dog Fest....

I hope my blog does not become a dog fest...

But I had to post this one, my brother's friend's dog.
This would probably be way too small for me, and I would be scared of stepping on it. But it is so cute too! It's like a stuffed animal...

24 Lives On!

Wow, I must say that I'm pretty influential...for TV shows that is...hee hee.

So last year I managed to convince my co-worker whom hated the show Desperate Housewives to watch it, get hooked, and let it become many topics of our gossip chat during the day.

I got a friend hooked on Lost last year, and now we have "Lost Night" every Wednesday.

So I couldn't disapoint myself and go on without influencing someone with 24...muahahahah
Since I got hooked on it 2 years ago when a friend told me she watched the first season the whole weekend without leaving the house, I was curious, watched it, and was hooked ever since. Now, I have hooked my friend in watching this cool bean show. Is Jack Bauer invincible or what!? LOL
So now the show has decided that Jack will not die for at least another 72 hours, making him the richest person that works for only 3 more days in the next two years. You gotta love Jack.

On a lighter note, isn't my friend's dog so cutteeeee?!?!?!?

Great Bedtime Story

So this was a wonderful bedtime story that was told to me last night. The topic was, "what ugly weather we are having lately".

This led to "the entire world is gonna die in 50 years".

Since as far as I could remember, I knew that global warming was an issue. As a kid, we were told not to use aerosol hairspray as that depletes the ozone layer, save the rain forest, don't burn garbage (although if I did that would be gross), recycle, cars emit carbon dioxide that is bad for the air, save the Earth's resources...These taught habits still kick in as I find myself not even using hairspray, recycling, and trying to make the conscious decision not to use disposable chopsticks that would deplete the rainforest, and carpooling when possible. I was sure most people would do the same.

So how has mankind managed to slowly kill ourselves over the short time frame of a little over 2 decades? I did little digging...Googled it...I'm even more scared... (Poor Polar Bear).
Due to our constant build up, and I am sure the United States has a huge part to do with this, we are very quickly killing off ourselves and our home.
My wonderful bedtime story was if the ice caps melt at its current rate, our sea level will continue to rise up around 23 ft. This means that cities from London to Los Angeles will be submerged under water. Geez...

Have we as the human race become so self-centric that we don't see that we need to make a difference? Or is there anything we can do at all? Is my little participation on not using the hairspray, recyling, carpooling, don't burn trash (eheheheh...I like that one)...enough?

How would I ever look the next generation in the eye and tell them, "well, we were just so into ourselves we never noticed". How would I ever answer to my child?

Freakin out here everyone...

So I have decided to print this out in my cube and make sure I will do my part (yes, I need pretty pictures)

I encourage everyone to do the same and don't let the Polar bears or us die!
