Year 2005:A year of renewal

My 1st blog of the year. Just thought that I wanted to share something on the recent disaster. Could it be oil exploration activities that have induced the earthquake? I got this website from someone else who posted this on the LP travel forum. It's interesting and is well worth the read. If oil exploration activities really did play a part in inducing the earthquakes, then isn't it Man's own doing? It totally tallies with what I had in mind: That Man has taken too much out of Nature and this is Nature's way of punishing us. Both physically and psychologically. UN warned that the surge in psychological problems could be the next big challenge to tackle as the many survivors battled to fight the nightmares in their own minds.

I have 2 other 'theories' from friends who said that it's a sort of way to get the people in the world to unite as the world is very much split into 2 groups with the people fighting against the terrorists & the terrorists themselves. So in a way, by means of a catastrophe befalling on the human race, we all gotta stand as one no matter what. No more killing or harming one another, as Mother Nature is the one with the ultimate power to destroy everything in her path. Just a note to add, as quoted from one of my friends, "Who knows, the terrorist base could be in Aceh, for all we know." Yeah, only God knows.

Another explanation for this disaster is that Nature is seeking a balance since there's overpopulation in so many underdeveloped nations. And the people there are not living in the best conditions, so Nature might as well help them end this tough life. Cruel, but yeah, work of Nature.

The most recent reports got to be those about the child trafficking and prostitution going on in some refugee camps. Those people, erm, or do they even deserve to be called so? They're aliens, as one 'TODAY' newspaper reader had called them. For they're of a different breed on this planet we call Earth. We do not know them. We are unable to comprehend their actions. Of abducting orphaned children to make money. No words can describe them. They're constantly in my curses. DAMN.

2005 has arrived and it's already the 8th day. May the new year fill u with a new level of energy and aspirations to last the whole year through. As the rebuilding is going to continue for many months and years to come, I would like to urge everyone to set aside an amount of money(it need not be a large amount) to contribute to the fund every month. I do believe that the various ways of contribution are going to continue and the survivors would need our help in any way that we could contribute in.

Year 2005: A year of renewal and rebirth? At least that's for the countries which are affected. It could be for everyone of us too. With new resolutions. I would continue to travel and learning a 3rd language is my aim this year. Already starting off with Malay. Hope to do Spanish as well. And maybe do a full-distance biathlon this year, if I can find the time to train for it. For im starting work in June! SCARY! It's here! Certainly not looking forward to it. That's just Life and time is my greatest enemy now.

Hope you will find ur direction/s for this year soon, if u haven't.
