Make a Change & Switch off for Earth Hour

Wow, it's sooo amazing how a year could pass by so fast like this, isn't?!! It's the end of March, & what does that mean? Oh, yeah, it's "Earth Hour" time, baby!! Yeah!!!

Last year, I attended my first Earth Hour Event & I had sooo much fun, & I planned to forever be a part of it. For those of you who don't know what Earth Hour means, it's basically an annual global event organized by WWF (World Wide Fund For Nature, also known as World Wildlife Fund), where everyone, individuals or organizations, could be part of spreading the message & help raise awareness towards the need to take action against Climate Change & Global Warming.

All we have to do is simply shut down all unnecessary lights, electricity, & other carbon dioxide consuming machines & appliances, for only one hour, starting from 8:30 to 9:30 PM on Saturday March 27. (Wikipedia)

Watch this video to learn more (focus on the video from 2:15 to 2:16, what do you see??? ;P)

And/or read more about Earth Hour here.

Simple, isn't it?

So what are you waiting for? Turn off your lights, & show support!! Make a stand, make a change!

I can't help but share one of my top favorite MJ songs on this environmental event...

Such a deep song. That man really cared about this world. I wish if all of us cared as much as MJ (& the rest of the people who care about Earth issues), then the world would've been really a better place.

We still could do it. For us, for our children, for the planet.

So let's do it!!!

THIS IS IT: Running For One More Week

They're extending the movie :)

I just called Cinescape & they said that 'This Is It', will still be showing for the next week, so all of you who have missed it, you still got a chance :)

Again, let me remind you, if you would like to go see it, & enjoy the most of it, watch it on IMAX.

Only on IMAX!

Peace!

& Don;t forget to tell us what you think!

I Still Miss You

"Untitled"

By: Just a Bunch of Thoughts

Fifty one years ago, a little baby was born

Never knowing his life would soon be torn

He lived a short, yet full life

But most of it was full of strife

He grew up in an abusive environment

No one could hear him, or help treat his ailment

He called out for help repeatedly

But people rarely listen carefully

The pain became greater with time

Leaving scars that will last a lifetime

People are too busy looking at the outside

Very few cared to look at the inside

Even with the love of millions

He could not climb up the canyons

His gift was a way to escape

Drowning in a sea of innocence, where he will not be raped

When surrounded with pure love, he laughed & giggled

Animals & children were pure loves he cradled

Despite all that negativity, he continued to search for love

And three little children were sent form above

They helped give him the love & joy he so longed for

But sadly, he had to leave the shore

Leaving them & us all in endless tears

Still in denial yet accepting the spears

His time has come & we must not object

C'est la vie; we rather reflect

For forever he shall remain alive in our hearts

His legacy will go on forever & never parts

***

We Love You MJ

May You Rest In Peace

I just read this ...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obit_michael_jackson

At first I was on youtube & just looking at the home page & cheching the featured vids & all that & then I saw this ...

At first, I just glanced at it quickly as I did to all the featured vids on the page, but then I was like, wait, what?? RIP?? MJ?? what?

HUH??!!

Why are they celebrating MJ's career? It's not his birthday yet...

WAIT A MIN! What's with the R.I.P??? @@!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that a joke???

I hurriedly went to Yahoo with my heart on my chest hoping to find nothing & that it's just a late April's fool ... that is just so mean ...

But it's not a joke ...

MJ did die ... he passed away!

Passed away ...

Gone ...

No more living ...

It took me a few minutes for the news to register ...

But still ...

I just hope everything went well ... that's all I'm concerned about ...

that's all I care about ...

God have mercy on all of us ...

Everything Seems Sweeter Before Exams!

It's November, so it means it's time for exams!

I hate exams!

But who doesn't?!

I had a quiz today, my first this semester, & for the passed 3-4 days, I've been studying, & preparing for it. After all, it's an Arabic Exam! God, & it's all about grammar!

Well, I wouldn't really call it "real studying". The first three days, I was just skimming, bored to death, while listening to Michael Jackson's songs of the 90s. My real studying started 15 hours before the quiz to be precise.

Anyways, studying for this exam was nothing extraordinary. I procrastinated as much as I could! Let's face it, studying for a subject you love can be exhausting, let alone a subject you're not very fond of! Watching TV becomes very amusing & intriguing when you have to study for a quiz! You would watch anything, from movies to sitcoms, to different series that you had no prior interest in, in the first place! Even news seems amusing!!!

Not just watching TV, or going online, or playing video games would be more enjoyable during exams, but any exam hater- procrastinator would be glad to do whatever just to stay away from those humongous study books! You would want to take longer showers, & really try out the new fragranced shampoo & conditioner you bought two months ago. You would decide to tidy up your messy bedroom your mom begs you to tidy up every single day (even it was already tidy, you would gladly mess it up, then give it a once-over!). You would even chip in & help with the chores you normally hate doing. And you would like to linger & stay with your family, something you don't normally do!

You would spent hours on the phone, or IM chats with your friends, & start creating fairy tales, & laugh your head off, do whatever attracts you, no matter how silly it might be.

Also, (& that's more for the boys), you like to hang out & stay for longer hours than usual with your buddies assumed to be studying while you're actually cruising up & down the Gulf, & Love roads, the different malls of Kuwait, & even the local co-ops!! Any where, it doesn't really matter as long you're away from what's dreadful!

Then after the cloud of drunkenness evaporates, & you wake up with this huge hang-over that your conscious has burdened you with, you scurry in a hurry to grab any note book, & quickly flick through the pages, gaping at what seems to be a blur in a rush of adrenalin. You take a quick glance at the clock that feels like it's thumping along with your nervous frightened heartbeats. There's no time left; you gotta face the music!!!

*****

Aren't we all like that? Have we all done this, even if for once?

Let's be honest, even nerds dread exams!

God, maybe it's a guilty-pleasure syndrome? You feel guilty, yet you wanna stay away for as long as you could muster!

Whatever it is, Humans fear the unknown, & worry about the future, & one way to avoid all this, is by not thinking about it. Just trying to forget, & trying to be free from all the anxieties.

Weird, isn't it?

Well, not so much ...
