as a passionate participant of this topic, it is inevitable that i think about it most of the time. it is after all, my future(and everyone else's for tht matter).
What we are witnessing today is really the collapse of capitalism as an economic system. It cannot sustain itself because it is full of weaknesses, for instance:
it is a system driven by greed and self interest.
it does not take welfare into consideration.
its engine is creating wants we don't need.
sure the argument for this system is that it creates a healthy competitive environment for producers, and encourages efficiency, but the drawback has a bigger long term effect on the economy.
therefore, once we, the consumers, have no means to get hold of what the capitalists are selling, then the system cannot function anymore. in fact, i would also say once greed is gone( unthinkable), then the system fails itself.
an example is the receding market in Japan. They increase productivity in goods, to stabilise their economy in a legit and wise way, however, no one's buying anymore, and they can't figure out how to get buyers in this condition.
although some of us are very fortunate. do not feel like a damsel in distress and still spend like we just won the lottery*coughs*, but many are losing jobs, many are suicidal over much prolonged poverty.
the era of consumerism is slowly vanishing, but for how long, we cannot be sure. one thing for sure, there is a solution for this. which is to overthrow this system and replace it with something else. what is that something else? right now, i am very certain i know the answer, but my insufficient knowledge about that particular system leaves me no choice but to label this problem with an unknown solution for now.
i do not know how to make this important post more interesting or understandable. but i'll definitely try better and come out with weird metaphores or hiperbole everything for the next global update.

the fourth protocol
"it is for this reason that we must undermine faith, eradicate from the minds of the Gentiles(non jews) the very principles of God and Soul, and replace these conceptions by mathematical calculations and material desires"
"The fourth Protocol."
I could relate this to myself. many times i have been distracted and many times they have won me over. but if you ask me why think about it, you're either too ignorant or you have no idea about life.

The thirteenth protocol.
"to prevent them from really thinking out themselves, we shall deflect their attention to amusements, games, pastimes, excitements and people's palaces. such interest will distract their minds completely from questions on which we might be obliged to struggle with them. Becoming less and less accustomed to independent thinking, people will express themselves in unison with us because we alone offer new lines of thought-ofcourse through persons whom they do not consider as in any way connected with us."
-the thirteenth Protocol.
I shivered and shuddered when i read that. There are more than 20 protocols of the Zionists written long before the world war I.
how did i figure this one out?
from book written by henry ford during the world war 1 era.
You can laugh and take these things easily, but i can't. It's time we think.

No comment.
i have lost objectivity in my thoughts which explains the unwittyness. not that i'm sure i was before, or whether the word unwittyness even exists.
vocabulary is for the dictionary, not me.
anyways, i've been conducting various different experiments with myself like most cosmectic companies, only they can't seem to get grip of the whole "animal rights" thing. nevertheless, I am proud to find many interesting foundings.
wait, i'm sorry if this sounds interesting, because the experiments have spiritual and intelectual elements, not fun and hooga hooga sorta thing.
will share when i feel like writing down a lab report.
i've got tons of books to read before i fly,cause i can't bring em all. bummer. excess baggage=trouble.
not if God can help it, put that in mind. And i wasn't sarcastic.
I personally had a momentous experience.
I came back from Egypt bringing 57kg worth of loads.
The weight limit was 20/30 kg, not so sure.
Truthfully, most of the things were my mum's groceries. yes she buys groceries all over the world, from olive oil, to basmati rice and even Bread sticks!. not the imported ones you find in cold storage, the "flewn over by one of us" one.
The thing is, with an excess of 20-30 kilos, i wasn't sure whether i could go on board without burning my pocket( or my mum's for that matter)
suddenly this malaysian came out of nowhere, he was the trade comissioner and he helped me get through everything..without paying a single dime.
I don't wanna take credit for the blessing that was meant for my mum. the only thing i got from it is not being trapped in the cairo airport surrounded by egyptian officers with "corrupted" written all over their faces. Ofcourse, i am very thankful, God has made it easy for me but deep down, you know who the blessing was meant for and you were lucky enough to be part of it.
if you ask me again, who in the world gets away with such excess baggage for free. i'd still be ridiculously doubtful anyone does.

Why and How do you appreciate art?
there isn't always an answer to all these silly questions.
I wish I was an art person.
But then again, I'd wish I was something else.

Down to Kokomo.
is actually a song by the beach boys if you still haven't figured that out.

Aruba, Jamaica, ooo i wanna take you to Bermuda, Bahama, Come on pretty mama, Key Largo Montego, baby why don't we go.lalalalalala.

Anyways, today I discovered that babies have more bones than an adult.

I cannot believe.
I hope i do not sound too rhetoric in my support for Palestine.
It's the hottest topic today, hotter than the golden globe awards, hotter than melted cheese.nevertheless, i have been writing about it long time ago, with very little knowledge of what's really happening.
to cure the hesitation or confusion,here's something useful.
In the book written by Dr Ang Swee Chai, a first hand witness of the ruthless israel-palestine conflict in the 80s, there had been a peace agreement at that time. It involved the evacuation of Palestinian fighters out of Palestine to ensure no attacks were made from Palestine.
Children and Women were left behind.
In their defenseless state, with no warriors to defend them, there was sudden appearance of unidentified men going on a killing spree throughout the area. the massacre killed more then 2500 palestinians, which were all, women and children.
So Dr Ang along with her colleagues tried to put the pieces of puzzle together to figure out who are these unidentified men. The Israelis, were responsible for the death toll, as it was agreed that the state would be under their protection with the evacuation of men. So they claimed that those men were lebanese terorrists or some sort, and the israelis didn't know about the attacks and what not. All the silly idiotic statements were made.
Dr Ang and her colleagues later concluded tht, they were for sure connected with the Israelis in some way as there were no way these men could enter the Palestine borders without Israel's knowledge as The Israels were controlling the borders. in addition, the massacre could have been witnessed from the israeli watch towers around the area, and that means, the israelis saw but did nothing about it. there were too many connection that could link the israels with these men but this failed to enter the news.
Finally, they understood what was happening. Israel tricked the people into agreeing with a ridiculous peace agreement which was in no way helping them even a fraction of how it benefited the israels. they evacuated the men so that the people couldn't defend themselves, and they massacred as many palestinians they could, a process we call ethnic cleansing.
So, if such manipulation were commited 20 years ago, I don't see why we should believe what the Israelis say today at all. Regarding who started the attacks and what not. it's obvious to me how the manipulation has persisted till today, and it would help if you saw it too.
but to our luck, right now, good does triumph evil. despite of the ever increasing death toll, and the poorly equiped victims, israel has yet again failed to capture Gaza after many days of shelling, bombing and shooting.
God is great.
P/s- if you read the condition in which they left the bodies, or even the way they killed the children, you'd cry your heart out, it's soo devastating.
It's as if they were not human, they had no feelings, to them palestinians were just bullet targets in their shooting game.
oh yeah, and Dr Ang Swee Chai is a devoted Christian, Just to share the viewpoint from someone else's eyes.

Last night my mum cried.
We were in the kitchen, the maid went out for the weekend, and we were rearranging the mess she made(ironic yeahs). She saw my sister's cereal box, herbal teas, and detox formulas and she started tearing. "these are all sarah's things"
i know you're reading this sister, please be strong in America, we're always here waiting.

Renaissance was Initiated by Islam?
Indeed, the above statement is true. Many other great history that linked the progress of the west and the great influence of Islam in the process has been erased.
The reason behind why the west was so eager to erase traces of Islam from their past is a funny one.
i've concluded from what i've watch in BBC Islam, that, at that period, the west was simply at the lowest of the social structure. when i say this, i mean, they were behind in terms of education, in terms of culture, in terms of systems and structures. they were by nature,manipulative and deceitful, and they continued living their lives in lies they had created just to make them feel superior.
you guys should watch BBC Islam. i think u can get it on youtube.
Get this, this is not just an effort to make myself even prouder of my religion, but it's the revelation of the true world history that has been erased and i'd like to share it with the world so that they would have a clearer understanding and learn more from the real past.

Excerpt of the day
besides being shot dead, people were tortured before being killed. they were beaten brutally, electric wires were tired round limbs, eyes were dug out, women were raped, often more than once, children were dynamited alive. Looking at all the broken bodies, I began to think that those who had died quickly were the lucky ones.
-Dr Ang Swee Chai
On the brutality of Israeli troops on the Palestinians in the 80's which is still going on till today.

From Beirut To Jerusalem.
okayyyy people.whats up whats up.
i'm back. not for good or bad.
firstly, i'm not going to discuss further about my previous post here,because it is too public. but i'm open to share the details personally.
okay now to the important stuff.
I feel that a significant number of people have realised the cruelty of the israelis and are prepared to do something about it. even with such support, israelis still prevail. so the fight must go on.
i have too much to say about this topic, and i do not wish to make my blog a campaign site for palestinians( although i have thought about it). simply because there are so many useful ones online, with more information and details. i will do what i can to help here. as in for now, i strongly recommend this book if you'd really like to know the truth.
it is written by a singaporean doctor who went to palestine herself to help the innocent victims, and found herself changing opinions and perspective on who is actually right and wrong.
title: from Beirut to Jerusalem
author: Dr Ang Swee Chai
so i beg of you, put down those classics, romance and fictions for just a day or two. grab this book, learn about the cruelty that some people are really experiencing. it's just an enlightenment (man i love that word).
